Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Men
This homemade costume for men entered our 2010 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from John, the 'Black Knight' costume creator:
For this year I decided to be the Black Knight from that hit classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail. My costume consisted of chainmaille sleeves and neck piece, a helmet, a tunic and tights. The chainmaille I made entirely out of soda can tabs that I had been collecting all year. The helmet I made out of a garbage can and used hot glue to give it texture. The tunic and leggings were made out of scraps of my mom's fabric that I found in my garage. My costume is completely homemade and cost me $8 to make (the eight dollars was for paint and the garbage can only because I don't think I could have put up with the smell of a used one!).

Ready for the next extract that everyone's going to be taking to try and lose weight? Move over, green tea; green coffee beans are next up to the plate. Dr. Joe Vinson presented his research at the Spring conference of the ACS, and in a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled crossover study, the extract actually did quite a bit to help people drop pounds.
UPDATE: This study has been retracted. "The sponsors of the study cannot assure the validity of the data so we, Joe Vinson and Bryan Burnham, are retracting the paper," write the authors, who originally published the article in a 2012 issue of Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy. For more information, see here.
The study used doses of an extract of unroasted (green) coffee beans, with low doses of 700mg, and high ones of 1,050mg. The research was small in scope, just 16 obese people over the course of 22 weeks, all of whom acted as their own placebos, alternating between low-dose, high-dose, and an inactive supplement, each for a third of the time.
With no changes to diet or exercise, at the end of the 22 weeks, the participants had lost an average of 17 lbs, dropping 16% of their body fat — and Vinson thinks they may have dropped it faster if they hadn't been on alternating doses. He thinks these effects are due to chlorogenic acid, which is thought to reduce the absorption of glucose and lessen hyperglycemic peak.
Green coffee extract is already available through health food stores, so expect a massive uptick in sales in the near future. It's enough of a thing that Starbucks has even started producing drinks containing the stuff — so you can bet that green coffee bean will be the next acai (or whatever)

Bsstoner necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 148 diseños de 23 diseñadores freelance.
We're a team of three (1 in Philly, 2 in NYC) launching a company that provides affordable Internet/Technology consulting services to small businesses, start-ups and non-profit organizations.
We are targeting the types of companies that don't have the budget to hire the developer/designer/online advertising people in house, and don't have the budget to pay for the pricier web design shops.
We offer a wide array of small business technology services including: website development/design, website hosting and support, search engine optimization, online ad campaign management, social media consulting, other custom development/database/general IT help, Access/Excel help.
We also offer to do web design for our clients, but we're admittedly not design experts and refer clients looking for serious designs to 99designs. So if we hook up with a good designer there's definitely potential for referrals.
Something that walks the line between Professional and Cool. High Quality, but Affordable (not Cheap).
We're not exactly sure what we want it to look like, but we kind of know a little about what we think we don't want in a logo.
We don't think we want a super edgy logo, but a little cool factor is good
We don't think we want a cartoon logo
We don't think we want something overly corporate looking
One of the things we do is put a high emphasis on helping smaller companies on a budget leverage the many free or cheap services available only and bring them all together to run their business and build their online brand. So logos that reference smaller pieces coming together to form something larger may be interesting, not a requirement, just a thought.

Hello Mr. and Mrs. Ernst Leitz GmbH. Thank you for meeting with me. The reason I asked you to stop by today was because I have some concerns with your son Leica and his ability to follow simple directions.
Yesterday during our art class we asked the students to tackle a simple project: just turn their respective lens designs into mugs, water bottles, and vacuum flasks. It was a straightforward lesson in cash grabs that both Nikon and Canon excelled at. But I'm afraid your Leica just couldn't wrap his head around the idea.
I honestly think he just grabbed a disposable coffee cup from our cafeteria, spray painted it black, and then drew on some lines and numbers. As you can probably understand, we're extremely disappointed with his efforts, and can't believe he intends to sell them as limited edition items for $35 a pop. I'm afraid we're going to have to put him in Remedial Pandering for the remainder of the semester. [PetaPixel]

By Henry Flores, director of the communications center in El Salvador
In June, we celebrate Fatherís Day in many countries in Latin America, and it's in these countries where millions of children don't have access to proper education, nutrition, health and unfortunately, many of them donít even have a father.
More often than not, the typical Latin American family has only one parent at home ñ the mother. This stark reality is based on many factors, including the oppressive poverty and cultural standards.
The precarious financial situation of many families forces fathers to migrate from the rural areas into the cities or other countries. Others work away from home and return only a couple days per month, and still others simply become part of the statistics of those who donít care for their children.
In spite of this reality, there are fathers who stay to face the challenges and burdens of their life and families. They stay home with their wife and children to be together, to be a family, instilling in them values, creating awareness and helping to build a strong society by offering united families.
At CFCA, we are blessed to witness the courage of many of these men who strive every single day to be good examples of a hard-working spirit, a family leader and loving paternal figure, not only for their own children, but for other children in their communities.
I recently met Hector and his wife, Maria Esperanza. They are raising five children. Hector works in agriculture, and with the help of small loans, he works 2.5 acres of land, planting corn and beans, producing enough to sell part of it to pay his debts and keeping a little of his production for the family consumption. Hector travels by horse for almost two hours to the land he rents to grow his crops. He usually works long days, under very high temperatures and extreme humidity, starting early in the morning and returning home late at night.
Hector has a fierce love for his wife and children. He protects them and ensures that they have what they need. And, education is his first priority. ìSometimes my children help me in my plantation, but school is first, so I work alone most of the time.î
The financial situation of the family is difficult, but the dreams of this father for his children are the motivation he needs to work hard. ìThings can be difficult, I work hard. It is my hope that my children will be educated and have a better life, and I just need to work harder,î Hector said.
We praise our Lord for the gift of fatherhood, for the opportunity to be loved by a father and I thank You, my Lord, for the blessings of being a father.
The third Sunday of June marks Fatherís Day in many countries worldwide, including the United States. Today, June 17, those in El Salvador and Guatemala celebrate their fathers. We, at CFCA, would like to honor all fathers, including Henry Flores and Hector, for the courage and strength they provide to their families.

Poster Printing: How it's Done
From Adobe Reader, click File, Print, or press Control and P on your keyboard to open print options.Every year, at hotels all over the world,scientists from every field in science flock to these giant academic conferences. They're like WOODSTOCK for geeks in that field. Scientists go to these conferences to learn about the new research going on in their field, and to share the work they're doing with everybody else. And to drink and hang out with friends from other universities who they don't get to see very often. So it's like a big, social knowledge update for the whole field. And at most all of these conferences there's something called a poster session. And poster sessions are where researchers share findings that didn't fit into bigger sessions or bigger presentations. Scientists take some new research finding some new truth about the world. And they try to explain it on this giant poster. These poster sessions are one of the main ways that scientists share knowledge with each other. And they have the potential to bethis really great experience. For both the person presenting the poster, and the person walking around looking at all the posters. But in reality scientists havemixed feelings about poster sessions. A lot of us go into poster sessionsfeeling like, kind of optimistic, and then we come out feeling like disappointed and underwhelmed. And here's why. First, here's what it feels like to present aposter. If you're going to be the person presenting the poster, you're first thinking like "oh this will be great. " I'll put all this work that I'm reallypassionate about on this big beautiful poster. And people will walk by it and belike "oh cool research!" And I'll be like "oh you think so? Let's talk about!" And then we'll have this really engaging conversation we're like *I* learned things,and THEY learned things. And other people will walk by and like "oh great research," and they'll get to learn what I'm doing. And I'll feel like I'm getting to sharewhat I'm doing with the world and with other scientists. And sometimes. Like, very, very rarely; you will get like HALF of that experience. But that's the BEST case. Most of the time, you're standing by your poster all eager. While people just walk by you and don't even look at your poster, as if you don't exist, while you try to like STARE THEM DOWN out of desperation. Like, "Please, SOMEONE, RESPOND TO MY WORK. " And then the whole hour the poster session goes by and no one has even — not even not just ENGAGED with your poster — but no one has LOOKED at your poster. Then you just take your poster down, and you look at it, and you remember that it cost $100 to print. And then you throw it away. And then youthink "Maybe my research wasn't that interesting anyway. " and "That was a complete waste of time" Now, here's how it feels to ATTEND a poster session. The experience of attending a poster session and walking around trying to learn fromall the posters, can be even worse than it is for the presenter. OK, it's not WORSE than it is for the presenter. Nothing's worse than presenting a poster session. But it's still pretty bad. Again, you start off with very high hopes. You picture yourself walking through and like BREATHING IN all the latest research in your field. Learning stuff you never thought to think about before,and really just like getting more enlightened as a scientist and gettingall new ideas for the stuff you're doing. But it never, ever works out that way. In reality, most the time you walk in and there's all these presenters standing thereby all their posters and they're like locking eyes with you and watching youas you pass because they're all so bored and desparate for you to engage withthem and like validate their research. And their posters are just like walls ofincomprehensible text that you can't interpret very quickly. So what you do isyou kind of like avoid the too intense eye contact of the presenters whiletrying to quickly and surreptitiously scan the titles of the posters. Trying toget an idea of one or two you might want to check out. And the title of the poster just sort of gives you a general idea of what the study did. Like, the research question they asked. Not even the answer. It's kind of abstract and a little tootechnical, but if you can get the general idea, then maybe you engage with theposter, and try to get closer, and try to figure out what they did, and try to LEARN something So you found a poster that you're kind of interested in and you walk up closer to get a general idea and scan it and read it and try to learnthe core insight from it. But while you're doing that the desperatepresenter, who's standing like two feet away from you and staring at you, noticesyou looking at their poster. And they're like "Any questions? Any questions?! Let me know if you have questions!!!" And then you feel like you want to be polite, so you talk to the presenter. And maybe you have a pretty good conversation and you learn about what's on the poster and you eventually learn that key punchline ofthe study after you've asked a bunch of follow-up questions. But you end up staying at the poster longer than you need to. Even past the point of learningwhat you wanted from it. Because you're in a conversation! You don't want to be rude to just cut the presenter off. But meanwhile, like this is taking a lot oftime. You usually have less than an hour to browse all the posters. And that's if you showed up on time. Which you didn't. So the minutes are going by while you'rehaving this conversation and doing all these social niceties and trying tofigure out a polite way to exit the conversation. And usually after just ONE of these conversations, you realize that time is limited and you've got to likeskim harder and avoid eye contact harder So you breeze through the rest of theposters. Maybe stop at one more. But you're really, really desperatelyskimming now. So you're forced to adopt a strategy, where you spend a lot of time at one or maybe even two posters. maybe even past the point where you've gotten the insight you wanted. And then you've used up most of your time, so you have to skip around and breeze through the rest of the posters and barely even read the titles. And then you leave the poster session feeling a little disappointed uneasy, but still trying to convince yourself that it was productive. Like, "oh I'm super glad I spent 35 minutes talking about that one poster that I wasn't even super interested in" "That was a good use of my time. It was. " "I'm sure there was nothing on ANY of the other posters that was remotely relevantto me. " So the point is you may have had one good conversation — or two maybe — but you didn't really learn as much as you had hoped to learn from the wholesession. And you wonder what insights you might have missed on all those other posters you didn't have time to get to. So this all kind of sucks for you whenyou walk around trying to learn from the posters. And it also sucks when you'rethe presenter trying to make an impact with your poster that nobody's looking at. But there's something much more sinister going wrong here. And that's that when you're walking around trying to learn from this poster session and you're only able to interact with one or two posters, you're MISSING all the insight from the posters you had to breeze by and skim. And these missed insights are all like part of your field you're supposed to know all of thisstuff. A lot of them probably apply to the scientific problems you're wrestlingwith in some direct or tangential way. And you're missing them! You're only getting like one or two points before time runs out and you gotta leave. So not only are poster sessions kind of a lackluster experience for everybody involved, but they're also really inefficient at transferring knowledge to people walking through the poster sessions. And that means it's slowing down the learning. It's slowing down scientific progress. Which is actually holding the human raceback in a non insignificant way. That sounds like hyperbole but I actuallymean it. Maybe the research in your field isn't very important — and I'm in psychology so I get that — but if you're studying something that people aresuffering from, like cancer or Alzheimer's or MECFS Like one of those missed posters could contain some finding you hadn't thought about that triggers a moment of insight that helps you cure that disease sooner than you would haveif you had missed that poster. And all of these missed insights are happening in mass in EVERY single field of science right now. This isn't just a design frustration. This is a serious problem (and a serious opportunity). I think a lot of these problems come down to the way we approach designing academic posters. So let's see if we can fix that. Okay here's how the poster "design process"works. If you can call it a design process. Six months before the conferenceyou write an essay talking about your research findings that you want to put on your poster. And then you submit that to the conference, and then hopefully it gets approved,and then you're happy because that means your school will payfor your travel. And then you forget about it, for like five months. Until about two weeks before the conference. And while you're already worrying abouteverything else you have to do for the conference:. Plane tickets, packing things like that. It suddenly hits you. And you're like "oh. Oh. Oh shit shit shit shit. I actually have to CREATE the damn poster. " "Uh. crap. " And then you get like reallyidealistic. You're like "you know what, I'm gonna make this the best poster ever!" So you open a blank PowerPoint file and you get started. And then like an hour later you're like "uh crap nothing's done and this is going nowhere and I need to get this done and to the printer by 2:00 tomorrow and I don't have time to do this perfectionistic crap I just gotta like. I need somethingdone. Now. That doesn't make me look stupid. " So you desperately email one of yoursenior grad student friends and they're like "No problem. I got you covered. Here's the poster design I always use!" "It was handed down to me by Susie. Oh you never got to meet Susie. " "She was one of the senior students that graduated before you got here I was like four years ago" "Susie was amazing. Anyway, this is thedesign I always use. It works for me. Hope it helps. " And you're like "great greatgreat it's perfect. " And what you're really thinking is like "I don't have time to be original here" "I've just got to get this done and to theprinter and it's my first year of grad school or whatever" ". And I'm kind of afraid of looking unprofessional" "or looking like I don't know what I'm doing. I don't have really time to think this through. " So what do you do in times of uncertainty? You mimic. You copy somebodyelse, and that makes you feel safe. So you open up your friend's template, and then whatever is on that old, hand-me-down poster design, you copy. Like whateverthey did, you do. If they had their entire introduction paragraph copy-and-pasted into this tiny box in the corner, then that's what YOU do. You take YOUR entire entire introduction paragraph and you put it in that little box! If they display like their full table of correlation coefficients that don't all really relate to like what their central points are, that's what you put inyou put in all your correlation that's what you put in! You put in all YOUR correlation coefficients. That helps fill up space! And thenwhat you end up with is this monstrosity of a wall of text poster, with like copy-and-pasted bits of your essay squeezed into these templated old boxes with likeyour school's faded header on top from its 25-year old branding scheme. And yourposter just looks like a wall of mess. And SOME part of you is like "Is thislegible? Like nobody can read this. " But that part's very quiet. The very muchlouder part is like "Good. It looks great. And it looks great because it looks like I did something. " It looks like I spent LONGER on this than the rushed hour that I actually spent on it. Now if you have a little extra time on your hands,you may be able to listen to that "Let's make this a little more readable" voice. And if you have that kind of time, maybe you like add a nice graph, or turn one section of text into bullet points or something like that, or add a picture. AndI've done this. When I first started my Ph. D program, I tried to take an extrahour with a poster and improve the usability of it a little bit. So here'sone of my first posters. I had like a "so what" box, and icons and pictures for everything, but it's still just a wall of text in the same old format. And then there are these like unicorn posters. These are the posters that you seen ONEof at every conference if you're lucky. And they're beautiful. They're likeinfographics, and they're designed by either like professional applied firms,or grad students who WERE designers before coming to grad school. or theyused templates or paid somebody. And these infographic style posters make you feel completely inadequate. You're like "man, my poster should look like that — THAT's a good poster. " BUT THEY'RE STILL NOT. They're still just a wall ofPRETTY things that you can't interpret very quickly. And they're cardinal sin is thatthey expect people to be up close and reading them the cardinal sin of everyposter I've seen including the posters I've designed myself is that we assumepeople are gonna like stand there and read our posters in silence for 10straight minutes following the order of the sections we laid out and when wedesign them we're sitting up close to them reading them in order so we designthem for that kind of user experience for a context that's really differentfrom how people actually read posters at poster sessions really the accurate wayto design your poster based on how they're actually used would be toproject your PowerPoint file on a wall it's like full-size and walk past itover and over again and improve the design for the experience of learningwhile walking by but none of us do that like watch here are beautifulinfographic style posters they're gonna move past you at walking speed try toread them did you catch anything besides the title did you even catch the titleto learn anything from the infographic format you have to walk up and spend alot of time with it because that's what infographics are designed for they'redesigned to sustain your attention while you're right up next to it for 5 to 10minutes reading it on your own and silence infographics aren't the rightgoal for scientific posters because we just don't spend that much time withmost posters if anything a billboard is a better design analogy because thoseare designed to transmit information as you move past them so what should anacademic poster look like I think an ideal academic poster should accomplishthree goals first we want to maximize the amount of insight transferred toattendees in the poster session if you're attending a poster session wewant to make it easy for you to interact with every poster in some way so thatyou could conceivably learn the insight that every single poster in the sessionhas to offer in less than 50 minutes second we wantkeep the good stuff we still want to leave time for having good conversationsand getting deep insight about any single poster if you want to and thirdwe have to accomplish these goals in a way that is as lazy or lazier for gradstudents and scientists to create posters with the new design under timepressure and with no free mental bandwidth even if this new approach todesigning posters cures cancer faster if it's not easier for scientists to createand what they're currently doing it'll never happen so we have to make it easyso that it's both the right way to do it and the fast way to do it so let's getstarted okay so let's get into the right frame of mind here we're gonna startthings off with one of the most famous quotes in all of design here it goesperfection is not when you have nothing to add it's when you have nothing totake away good designs start with something very very minimal like a corething and they work from there so that's what we're gonna do and for that corething we're gonna follow the biggest most reliable rule in all of usabilityresearch you put a lot of effort into what people need to know and then youinclude the stuff that's nice to know last punch line first so here's a blankacademic poster what is the minimum need-to-know piece of information thatshould go on here if we could only put one thing on it well that's probablylike the main finding of the city right so we need a finding I'm gonna use areal finding for my friend Jacob study Jacob very bravely sent me his posterand let me use it for the video Thank You Jacob and you probably can't tellfrom this poster but Jacob study is actually really cool and important butthat coolness and that importance is lost in this traditional academic posterformat so we're gonna take this and we're gonna redesign it and we're gonnastart by grabbing the main finding the core takeaway of this study and puttingit on our blank poster so let's see what's the main finding of this studywhat's the main finding see this is the problem I'm talking about it's taking meway too damn long to find the main takeaway from this study which is prettyrepresentative of the problem here that has nothing to do with this poster everyposter in science like this okay so after reading this entire poster I thinkthe main finding is this bit right here we found consistent differentialvalidity for some non-cognitive measures for predicting international student GPAspecifically with SJ T's continuous learning social responsibility andperseverance so let's put that on the poster and then we're gonna change thebackground color you can use your school's color if you want to but Ithink it would be extra efficient to use colors that prime people's expectationsabout what type of poster they're about to see because they'll notice the colorfirst like we could use green for empirical studies because they're themost common blue for theory red for methods andyellow the most attention-getting color for that rare and wonderful interventionstudy so this is already better but it sounds kind of technical to anybody whodoesn't specialize in the sub feel that this relates to which is selection orhiring decisions which is fine for an academic paper where people can go backand look up terms they don't know but we don't have that kind of time people arewalking by in five seconds we got to punch it in their brain and research onusability writing shows that plain language is interpreted faster and getspeople's attention better so the most efficient thing we can put on thisposter is actually a plain language version of our main finding so we'regoing to say for international students perseverance and a sense of socialresponsibility are extra important for predicting first-year GPA now this kindof makes sense right now you're getting this whole story popping into your mindbut what if we're presenting a poster and somebody comes up and asks us aquestion we don't know the answer to like give me your full list ofpredictors and all the correlations what about those figures and tables that giveus that sense of safety and the ability to answer questions for that we're gonnaadd something called an ammo bar ammo bar is just gonna be a column on theright side or whatever side you plan to stand on and you're gonna copy and pasteall of your miscellaneous figures and tables and stuff that you need foranswering questions into that bar you're not gonna spend any time worrying aboutthe design or layout of this section because it's just for you to use treatit as your scratch board make it as ugly and as fast as you can it's just thereso you can point to things when somebody walks up and talks to you now what ifyou're already talking to somebody and you're showing them things in your ammobar and somebody else walks up and wants to learn more about your study butdoesn't want to interrupt you well for them we're gonna add a sidebar on theleft we're gonna call this our silent presenter bar in the silent prisoner baryou're gonna do all the stuff you normally do on an academic poster butyou're gonna worry about the layout of it a little less go ahead and follow theold intro methods results format copy and paste bits of your essay or addbullets and graphs if you have time just sort of give people an overview of thepaper as if they were going to be standing there and reading it silentlybut in one to four minutes not 10 to 15 these side bars are key to this designbecause with the ammo bar and the silent presenter bar together we really havealmost as much information on this new design as we had on the traditionaldesign it's just arranged much more efficientlybut what if somebody wants a lot more information a lot more than you can evenput on your poster and doesn't have time to read it or talk to you these are thepeople that sometimes like snap pictures of your poster well for these peoplewe're gonna add a QR code that links to your full paper and a copy of the posterthese QR codes look scary but they are stupidly easy to create just Googlecreate a QR code you'll do it in a second and every phone canread them like if you take out your phone right now and take a picture ofthis QR code on the screen it'll automatically know it's taking a pictureof a QR code and follow the link so this last QR code feature lets you snap apicture of any poster and instantly get a copy of the whole poster and the paperso now with this QR code option we're actually providing an option to get evenmore information than traditional designs allow for and doing it in a waythat lets attendees choose how much information they want to get instead ofbeing flooded in design this is called the principle of progressive disclosureso here's our final design now there are more things we could do with this likeif you have a really important graph or an image that needs to go in the centeryou could move the QR code over it only needs to be about five inches big to beread you could also add your own creative flair with images and stuff butfor now let's look at the design in its simplest form let's look at a before andafter so in the next screen a few real academic posters are going to move pastyou at a walking pace see how much information you can absorb now try thesesame posters you just saw translated to the new design now this is gonna be alittle unbelievable and jarring at first because when people see this they don'tbelieve that these clear findings came from the posters they just saw but theydid this is how detached current scientific poster design is fromactually communicating what you need to know here we go you absorbed more right you got the gistof probably every poster if you wanted to know more you could still walk up andtalk or read the silent presenter bar or just scan the QR code and keep walkingso this new design meets our goals it helps transfer insight moreefficiently by leading with the main finding and making it big and obviousand in plain language you can still walk up and have good conversations withpeople and for our third goal and I hope you can tell from looking at it but thisapproach is way easier for grad students to create you can create this posterdesign in much less time than you're spending on your current method so let'slook at the presenter experience now everybody who walks by it looks at yourposter at least because looking at your poster is less effortful and it's morerewarding to look which is already an improvement and now people who walk bycan engage with your poster quickly by snapping a QR code which still makes youfeel good if you see somebody do it and you still get those conversationsperhaps even more of them because your hook is better and now look at theattendee experience you get that feeling of breathing and insight as you walkpast and you have more options as an attendee to choose your level ofengagement with posters you're interested in you don't have to gettrapped in a conversation to learn something from a poster and look at howit could accelerate learning you can conceivably walk into a poster sessionwith this design and learn something from every single poster instead of justone or two if every scientist in every field used a design like this instead ofthe crappy old wall of text template they're using right now it canaccelerate insight and discovery and be more fun for everybody the reason Ispent a year of my life making this cartoon instead of publishing paperslike I'm supposed to be doing is because I really think that it everybody uses adesign like this we could accelerate the pace of science we could cure alldiseases slightly sooner and that's everything to the people suffering fromthem I really believe in this design I know it's jarring ly different than whatyou're used to using but for what it's worth when actual designers designposters and billboards their first advice is to keep it simple and becomfortable with negative space which this design really does also we're gonnado a validation study on this new design so if you're a researcher and you're upfor participating in a study to help validate this design get in touch withme send me an email or hit me up on Twitter I'm at Mike Morrison so pleasetry it for yourself even if you want to hack it up a little and make it your ownno hyegyo's there are links below to download PowerPoint templates for thesedesigns including example posters I'm gonna use this design and all myconferences going forward and lots of people here in my ph.

Same Day Poster Printing in Duboce Triangle:Table 1 lists courses we were able to identifyamong the top-ranked MD (research), DNP, and PharmD programs that offered medical communicationsas a main focus and also those that mentioned discussion of advanced topics related to publicationpractices. Rankings are according to US News & WorldReport. The course names and their respective schoolsare provided in the Table. For more information on how "main focus"was defined and the limitations of this analysis, refer to our full poster. We identified a total of 65 possibly-relatedmedical communications courses among 27 MD, 17 DNP, and 13 PharmD programs. The 9 courses listed here were taken fromthe 38 courses we were able to categorize. 6 courses had a main focus on medical communications,whereas 8 courses specifically mentioned advanced topics related to publication practices, suchas journal publication decisions, journal and audience selection, authorship guidelines,writing challenges, critiquing one's own and others' writing, plagiarism, and professionalstandards. Unfortunately we did not find any mentionof publication practice guidelines and the courses did not seem to follow any standardformat.

Academic Posters: Powerpoint vs. Illustrator vs. InDeisgn vs. Photoshop! (Tutorial Part 3)Hello every one! My name is Vasco and I would like to welcome you to my scientific YouTube channel. Here I have a lot of tutorials so fas I have a tutorial on how to write your thesis with InDesign and I have a tutorial on how to make scientific posters with InDesign. We are also using Adobe illustrator and a little bit of photoshop as well. Also in the next few weeks I will have some more tutorials. I'm working on a big new tutorial series with the program Geneious, this is for molecular data. So we're going to assemble a mitochondrial genome and I show you the whole process how this is done. I have been writing on the manual to this tutorial the past few weeks and now I'm going to make the videos. If you are subscribed to this channel for InDesign of illustrator I'm a little bit sorry that we're now going to be a little bit more scientific and a little bit more advanced with those things. And it might not be so interesting for you. But please stay subscribed, because I still will make some illustrator and InDesign videos. I have one for example coming up for illustrator, working with the pen tool. So if you would like to check out the already finished tutorial series with the poster making or thesis writing you can click here on the screen. And also if you want to follow along with the new tutorial you can click here to subscribe. I see you around, bye bye!. BIMBI IROM: We're goingto do a peer review workshop, all right? Not peer-- review workshopof scientific posters, OK? And we're going to use the samerubric that's there for you, for your work. They were dividedinto groups, and they had to make aposter presentation of on a scientific topic. And they had to describe theprocess for a lay audience and why that posterwas important, or why the processwas important. So on that particularday, we used that as a workshop for them todo a peer review of posters that I brought in from outside. We put up the posterand the rubric together, and each group hadto judge the poster. You have to assign a number-- anumerical grade assessment, OK? For each category. You look at the headings. You look at the spacing. You look at the[? statistics. ?] You look at the color schema. You look at the clarityof the information. You look at how the posterwas structured in such a way that the reader couldeasily go from step one, to two, to three,to four, to five. And if that wasn'thappening, then they had to offer a critique. And they had to givea justification. So it was important, too, forthem to pay attention and say, OK. Why are we, as a group, givingposter number 1 a 5 out of 10, in terms of aesthetics, orcolor schema, or spacing, or structure? The point was thatthey would take away the lessons of theworkshop or the peer review back to when theyare actually starting to design those posters. And the interestingthing was that this was the same rubric thatwas going to be used for the assignment, itself. So they had tolook at the poster through the lens ofthe rubric, right? So it kind of forces them toengage with the rubric itself, and see what is it thatI, as the instructor, am asking them to do. And it's one way ofdoing it stealthily. Because if you ask themto read the rubric, I would assume not manypeople would actually sit down and read the rubric,until their grades are bad. Right? And then they comerunning back to you and say, why did I get this? Or why did I receivethis grade, that grade? So it was serving acouple of purposes-- one, engaging with the tech itself,making them use the tech productively, makingthem use the rubric, making them pay attentionto what I was looking for, and so that they can stepup their game, so to say.

Most Baby Boomers prefer peace of mind over wealth accumulation and are looking to reinvent themselves in retirement, according a Merrill Lynch study released Monday.
The study found that today retirees expect to live longer and often work longer than any earlier generation, and are looking for guidance in what is uncharted territory.
Completed in January, the study is based on a nationwide survey of more than 6,300 respondents age 45 and older. These included 3,002 responses from the general population, an oversampling of an additional 3,005 affluent respondents with $250,000 to $3 million in investable assets (including liquid cash and investments, but excluding real estate) and an oversampling of 320 60- to 70-year-olds.
The report, titled "Americans' Perspectives on New Retirement Realities and the Longevity Bonus," focused on people's approaches to and thoughts about retirement.
'Longevity Bonus' and Its Implications
Today's retirees are largely not retiring, the survey found. Thirty-nine percent expected to include part-time work in their retirement years, and 24% to mix stretches of work with periods of leisure.
Forty-eight percent said they would work in retirement for "stimulation and satisfaction," rising to 68% for affluent respondents, versus 52% who needed money.
Moreover, 57% of Americans 45 and older looked at retirement as a new chapter in life, with 51% of preretirees who planned to work in retirement saying they wanted to go into a different line of work altogether.
Another key finding was the potential financial effect of supporting family members across multiple generations. Of the 74% of respondents with children, 52% expected to provide their adult children with some form of ongoing support. Thirty-five percent of respondents expected to give some support to their grandchildren, 16% to a parent or parent-in-law and 10% to a sibling or sibling-in-law.
One unexpected finding emerged from a question about what retirees expected to miss most when leaving work and what they actually miss most. Thirty-eight percent expected to miss reliable income, while 17% thought they would miss social connections. In the event, 34% reported that they most missed social connections, followed by 29% who missed a reliable income.
Asked what was important to pass on to future generations, 74% of respondents said their top priorities were values and life lessons. Passing on financial and real estate assets was a priority for 32%.
"Boomers have always paved their own way, and are once again pioneering new territory," Andy Sieg, head of Global Wealth and Retirement Solutions for Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said in a statement.
"Their perspectives, concerns, goals and how they plan to achieve them are different."
Concerns and Need for Guidance
Serious health problems were the chief concern of 72% of respondents, far outweighing the 60% who did not want to be a burden on their family, and 47% who worried about running out of money to live comfortably. Along with this, health care expenses were the No. 1 financial worry for retirement for 52% of respondents with investable assets above $250,000 and 37% of less affluent respondents.
A popular notion has it that people today are delaying retirement. In fact, the survey found that 59% of men and 57% of women had retired early.
For 34% of early retirees, the main reason was a personal health problem. Twenty-seven percent retired early because they had enough money to retire, and 24% had lost their job.
With only a third of large companies offering health benefits to retirees today, versus two-thirds 25 years ago, retirees are looking for advice about how to protect against retirement health care costs.
Seventy-five percent of respondents said they needed help in sorting through health care and long-term care options. Close behind, 71% wanted help to understand Social Security or employer pensions.
"Americans have mixed feelings about living longer and transitioning into retirement," Ken Dychtwald, founder and chief executive of Age Wave, said in the statement.
"While they welcome the extra time to pursue new interests and spend more time with family and friends, they are concerned about outliving their assets and experiencing a serious health disruption. Even those who have saved adequately can be anxious and often overwhelmed by this complexity and the unknowns they face."

Fumble-riffic NFL Championship Game? Maybe, says Stevens
Cold temperatures could play a small part in a player's ability to hold onto the football as temperatures dip during the February 2 NFL Championship game in northern New Jersey. That's the conclusion of Stevens Institute of Technology researcher Dr. Antonio Valdevit, an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering.
"It's reasonable to suppose that the cold might affect the hands' grip pressure in the big game," Valdevit said. "We wanted to learn more."
Working with graduate students Constance Maglaras and Rebecca Chung, Dr. Valdevit wired special sensors to his own middle finger and thumb — the two fingers most involved in gripping a ball. The Stevens team then measured grip strength on a regulation football against a pushing force (a tackler attempting to "strip" the ball away with constant force) at three significantly different temperatures: with the ballcarrier's hands at 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degree Celsius); 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5C); and 4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 C). The team ran the experiment eight times at each temperature.
Conclusion? Thumb-gripping power was unaffected, even at near-zero temperatures, said the Stevens researchers.
But the middle finger did lose significant power as temperatures dropped. In fact, it required almost three times as much force to hold onto the football at 4 degrees Fahrenheit as it did at more pleasant, dome-like temperatures.
"We can't say for certain fumbling or bobbling will increase in the game," concluded Valdevit. "Players will likely adjust their grip under colder temperatures — reposition their fingers, wear gloves.
"But given what we found in one of the fingers, it's also possible the cold will have at least some effect."

You there! Are you feeling bored? Tired? Weary of the daily grind and life's constant stream of little, soul-killing indignities? What you need is more adventure. And according to this craigslist ad, Adventure Car is what you need to make that happen.
Adventure Car (a 2004 Ford Taurus) has seen plenty of adventure in his 143,000 miles. At least in these photos, the outside looks to be in pretty decent shape. Unfortunately, Adventure Car is currently limited to adventures in the greater Hotlanta area due to some mechanical issues.
In the seller's own words:
"For a limited time, Adventure Car is extra adventurous, because he is in need of repair. His ignition coil is unhappy, and he needs new camshaft sensors and spark plugs. You may consider this a problem, but Adventure Car suggests it is an opportunity to engage in either the adventure of Car Repair or the adventure in Driving a Car that Acts Really Jumpy Sometimes. Every block is an adventure when your engine is shaking!"
The good news is this seller wants to unload Adventure Car to some lucky adventurer for only about a grand. Not a bad deal for someone seeking thrills, or at least a way to get around on the cheap.

As a platform for discovery, Tribeca has featured it share of breakout statements, such as Dylan Kidd's "Roger Dodger" in 2002, and artists taking unprecedented risks, such as Felicity Huffman in "Transamerica" (2005). Here are four actors breaking new ground at this year's fest:
Chris Cofler
"It was surreal," "Glee" star Colfer says of his bigscreen debut in "Struck by Lightning."
Colfer, who plays Carson, a hyper-ambitious and outspoken high school senior in a small-minded town, says he found it "easy to fall into the role."
Part of this comfy familiarity had to with creating the role himself, having penned the screenplay. "The script started off as a way for me to vent to myself in high school," says thesp, who began writing it at age 15. "With his witty comebacks and courage, Carson is who I wish I had been at that point in my life."
Colfer wouldn't mind if the coming-of-age pic helps launch a film career, not unlike the way his role in "Glee" has made him the poster boy for gay pride. "I just wanted to make a movie about a teenager who's inspiring."
When 21-year-old tyro singer and stage thesp Harris landed the role of John Hawkes' daughter, Maggie, a volatile teenager who acts as surrogate mother to her younger siblings in "The Playroom," a whim turned out to be a revelation.
"I was shocked by how much I identified with Maggie," she says of her first film role. "She's having an identity crisis. One foot is in childhood and the other in womanhood. She's stuck. I felt like that in my own life at the time."
The filmmaking process and the downtime between takes also shocked thesp.
"You have to have a lot of self control as a film actor. It's an art form."
Luke Kirby
In tackling the role of Daniel, a potential home wrecker, in Sarah Polley's "Take This Waltz," Kirby says he had to do "some digging."
The Canadian, who has appeared in numerous indie pics and TV shows dating back to 2001, says when it came to Daniel's "somewhat audacious" pursuit of Margo, a married woman played by Michelle Williams, he wasn't sure why his character didn't feel tremendous conflict. "I found that their relationship was outside their reach. It had been designed by some other force."
Luke Treadaway
As Joseph, the unpredictable best friend and ex-lover of Felicity Jones' Dolly in "Cheerful Weather for the Wedding," Treadaway found himself in a constant "state of anxiety."
"I was always trying to find that balance," the thesp says. "Joseph is trying to do the right thing, but all along trying to work out a way to possibly stop Dolly's wedding."
The part immediately appealed to the English actor, who has appeared on stage at the Royal Court Theater and alongside Rachel Weisz in "The Whistleblower" and Sam Worthington in "Clash of the Titans."
"I'd never played a posh, English gentleman before with a neat hair cut. So portraying a man living from the 1930s was really interesting to me."

Yes. If anyone happens to be nearby, some of us fellow 'Spacers are having a little get together, and I'll be there as well. Saturday, July 9th, starting at 10:30am at Gate A of Union Station (on the Metro Red line). More info here.
This started out as an informal gathering, but it might be picking up steam and growing into a mini-con. In fact, I'm not too sure what to expect. But I'm letting you know, in case (1) you want to stop by and say hi, and (2) the possibility of a missed update or something. But I've got a little time left, which I plan on using to make lots of updates in advance.

The lemmings go marching two by two… it's the same oddball mishmash of fringe extreme left-wing wing nuts. This time with a really ominous refrain.
The gaggle of misfits, malcontents and freeloaders came together three times to deny the very existence of God. From a biblical standpoint, probably not a smart thing to do. From a political standpoint, it may just have cost the DeMarxists whatever fringe elements of the fundamentalist south they still held under their hypnotic gaze. Nominal Catholics, those identifying as Catholic but not actively practicing, who as 'independents' went big for MaoBama in the 2008 election, may desert the sinking ship as well… rightly interpreting the obvious disdain for the Creator as an attack on Mother Church.
I broke a rule I've had for myself from just about the time Dee (my editor) convinced me to begin this column. I'd purposely avoid the usual news coverage of proceedings that I'd considered writing about. I didn't want outside postulations to color my opinions of events. Having admitted to watching the RNC convention while in the hospital, I did watch portions of the DNC luvfest.
Further, I listened to the seemingly endless parade of losers, apologists and hysterical, moon-eyed, brain-dead, MaoBama symbionts as they spewed lie after outrageous lie, many manufactured of whole cloth to their adoring and slavish base… primarily, the Lame Stream Press et al, who, in their collective ecstasy with speaker after speaker, built to a truly orgasmic crescendo with the long and somewhat self-serving, disjointed ranting of the great Bubba and serial abuser of women, William Jefferson Clinton.
What he really did was to illustrate Obama's ineptitude while stroking his own meager accomplishments, which were mostly forced upon him by Newt Gingrich and a Republican Congress who weren't under the Clinton spell. An impeached, failed president pleading for four more years of exactly what we've been suffering since this present inept fool was immaculated.
Another question begs some attention as well. It seems every Moslem organization in America with direct ties to terrorist groups was embraced by the DNC who, I'm afraid, are just self-absorbed and naive enough not to see the threat implicit in the stated goals of these subversives. There is going to come a time when the Moslems in America, who are so eager to hide behind our flag and continue to spew their poison, are going to have to fish or cut bait.
What I took away from the Democratic National Convention was a sense of 'there's nothing new here'. It's the same old song with a very sad price tag still attached. Eighty eight million able-bodied people out of the work force. No matter how the DeMarxists and their surrogates in the Lame Stream Press spin this most recent jobs report, it still stinks. That's what MaoBama and the DeMarxists are stuck with. No matter how they spin it, it's their economy and that's what, in the final analysis, is going to be MoaBama's downfall. From my lips to God's ears.
Now, Romney and Ryan have to pound away on the economy… the economy… It's the economy, stupid.

We had a happy, happy afternoon at the pool-- --and then the woman depicted by chance in this photograph--
--stole the girls' blue rubber duckie. Two minutes before closing time, her little swim diaper-clad toddler ran over and grabbed up the duckie, which Willow had been happily sharing with the entire pool for two hours, from right in front of us, then ran back over and showed his mom, who nodded and kept packing up. Of course I sent Matt marching right over, but he was utterly defeated when the woman, hardly looking at him or the kid or the toy, told him her kid had brought that duck to the pool every day for four weeks and maybe we should look around more for OUR duck--I think Matt should have just grabbed the duck and ran, but he reminds me that poolsides are slippery.
Seriously, what do you do when some random person brazenly steals something from you right out in public? If we'd been kids, it'd been easy--"Give me back my duck!" Bam!--but as adults we were utterly stymied when polite conversation did not allow us to achieve our goal. Seriously, this woman just would not give back that duck. So Matt had to march back with failure in his eyes, and we had to carry our hysterical child from the pool.
Don't worry--Willow feels better now, except that I keep bringing it up again to help her process. You know--"You've been sharing so well now for over four years, and only once has someone stole what you were sharing with them," etc. It's too bad, because Will really is a very generous child. Parents often compliment me, as if I had anything to do with it, and she's always giving her little buddies presents from her own toy supply. I hate it when this happens--you lovingly raise up your child with the utmost thoughtfulness and care, cultivating precious qualities in them and building up their characters, and then some idiot comes along and makes their best attempt at ruining all your work in about one minute with one ugly act or one ugly remark. You know--telling them, "Stay with your mommy, or a bad person will come and take you away," or hitting their dog right in front of them, or stealing the toy they'd brought to the pool to share for a while.
One of our family friends was with us at the pool that day, and she's a social worker, and when I asked her for her professional opinion about the situation, she thought for a minute, lips pursed, then said, "That woman has problems."
I have something that would have cheered the girls right up, of course, but I wouldn't give it to them because I am mean. The gifties inside have to wait, but my Christmas in July Stashbuster Swap angel package arrived!
You know I got bailed on by my official partner, who apparently received the ornaments I made without a word and then disappeared, but the swap organizer found two, count them TWO, people to make swap presents for me and get nothing in return--Craftster calls them swap angels. And my first swap angel package was AWESOME!
These are the veggies that my angel crocheted for me. She made a carrot, corn, peas, a tomato, and a baby eggplant/beet. I'm so excited to put these in the girls' Christmas stockings--I've made them pretty flush on felt food, but I'd really been wanting some crocheted food, as well. Now if I can only find somebody to crochet them a matching set of eggplant top knitted hats...Because the girls also love the ocean, my angel also crocheted them some ocean life, a sea turtle and a dolphin. The sea turtle's shell is like a little jacket that you can take off and put back on again. A jacket, y'all--how much fun is that? A lot.The sweetest thing, though, is that she made me and the girls matching jewelry--the black beads are all magnets, so that you can wrap the same piece around your neck a couple of times for a necklace, or around your wrist several times for a bracelet. Of course, the first thing I did was to wrap mine and the girls' all around my own wrist for one giant, super-bracelet.
I'm really happy with my swap package; this turned out to be a great swap, after all. Just a couple more lovingly handcrafted items, now, and the girls' Christmas stockings will be full before November!

Eating ProteinSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Protein is made of building blocks called amino acids . Although the human body can make some of these amino acids, nine of them (the essential amino acids) must be obtained from food. Soy foods and animal sources of protein (milk, eggs, meat, poultry, fish, and seafood) contain all the essential amino acids in the amounts our bodies need.
Most plant foods contain some of the essential amino acids in varying amounts. Beans have some amino acids, and grains have other amino acids. Eating these different types of food throughout the day will provide your body with adequate protein.
Foods that contain protein
Most adults should eat 5 to 7 ounces of protein foods a day.
- Lean meat, poultry, or fish. A cooked serving is 2 to 3 ounces. (3 oz is about the size and thickness of a deck of cards or the palm of your hand .) You can use your hand to judge other portion sizes.
- Protein isn't just found in meat. If you are a vegetarian or just looking for alternatives to meat, the following are equal to approximately 1 oz of meat:
- ¼ cup cooked beans, peas, or lentils
- ¼ cup tofu (about 2 ounces)
- 2 Tbsp hummus
- ½ ounce nuts or seeds (for example, 12 almonds or 7 walnut halves)
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp peanut butter or other nut or seed butter

Just need to work on getting hold of some decent cider for next January ;-)

Java Is A Dead-End For Enterprise App Development
Before Java was developed, one of the key industry styles was to increase the efficiency of both designers and end customers. For example, fourth-generation development 'languages' (4GL) such as Powerbuilder, Improvement, and Uniface offered expert designers with quicker ways to build up company programs than using COBOL, Pascal, C, or C++. For end customers, resources such as Dbase, Lotus Notices, and Visicalc offered them with the unmatched ability to create mini-apps without the need for expert designers. In the early '90s, this efficiency pattern was tossed into a tizzy by the Online. Now, application providers and company program designers had to hurry to create a whole new creation of programs for the Web or risk becoming unrelated. The Online pressured designer efficiency and 4GL's to take the back chair.
Java Was At The Right Place At The Right Time For Web Applications
Java was developed in 1990 as an easier and more convenient option than C++ to build up included techniques. The advancement of the WWW in 1993 started a meteoric alternation in IT database integration. Sun Microsystems shifted quickly to take advantage by selling "network" web servers like pancakes and providing Java as system for Web design. Most other application providers were captured off secure and Java became the de facto Online growth standard for company Web database integration.
Fast-Forward 20 Years
Forrester information shows that Java is still strongly placed in company IT stores for custom-developed programs (see figure). But, information always informs us what actually occurred in the past and does not estimate the long run. Application designers should also not make the big error that adopting means benefits.
Java is not going away for company programs, just as COBOL is not going away. Java is still your best option for app dev groups that allow us the framework and skills to build up and maintain company programs. It is also an excellent option (along with C#) for application providers to build up resources, resources, and techniques such as BPM, CEP, IaaS, and flexible caching techniques (ECP). Software such as operating-system, data source, and system games are still mostly developed in C++.
Java Has Provided Its Purpose, But Now It Is Time To Move Forward
Java growth is too complicated for company database integration. Enterprise database integration groups should plan their get away from Java because:
Business specifications have modified. The interest rate of modify has improved.
Development publishing is restricted to development 'languages'. Even though the Java system facilitates additional development 'languages' such as Cool and JRuby, the actual system boundaries advancement to the standard services offered by Java. You can develop as many new development 'languages' as you want, but they must all be implementable in the actual system.
Java bungled the demonstration part. Move is a headache and JavaFX is failing. JSF was developed for pre-Ajax user connections even though some implementations such as ICEfaces integrate Ajax. There is a stable flow of new UI techniques showing Java's lack of management in the demonstration part.
Java frameworks confirm complexness. Hibernate, Springtime, Struts, and other frameworks expose Java's inadequacies rather than its strong points. A upcoming system must not need a cacophony of frameworks just to do the fundamentals.
Java is based on C++. Is this really the best way to build up company business applications?
Java's new manager is the same as the old manager. Oracle's rule is unlikely to improve Java. Oracle's latest Java reports were a frustration. They are concentrated on more features, more efficiency, and more relationships with other providers. So far, this indicates that Oracle continues with Sun's same unsuccessful Java guidelines.
Java has never been the only game in town. C# is not the alternative. It is little more than Java Microsoft company style. But, there are new designer resources such as Microsoft company Lightswitch and WaveMaker — and conventional but modified 4GL resources such as Compuware Uniface and Improvement OpenEdge. And don't forget about company guidelines techniques, company process management (BPM), and event handling techniques which allow quicker modify offer by company application providers such as IBM, Improvement, TIBCO, Software AG. You can join the Java programming course in Pune to make your career in this field.

I give public presentations frequently on the subject of climate change and cleantech and sustainability, and probably the most common question I get at these talks is: Why do you hate our freedoms so much? The answer to that question is that I receive enormous amounts of money from the sinister forces of Big Solar and Big Wind to spread lies about a cleantech-powered world. (It arrives in canvas sacks with dollar signs printed on their sides, like in cartoons, which you have to admit is pretty charming regardless of your politics.) This socialistic cabal is essentially Satan's handmaiden, hellbent on ending the flawless, stable and exquisitely balanced quality of life delivered to us by fossil fuels (*cough*). But I digress.
Probably the second most common question I get is: What about geothermal? I have to admit I don't have a quick answer for that one. There is no Big Geothermal. They're not part of the racket – yet. But it always does get me wondering: What is the deal with geothermal? Is it the jetpack of renewable power, that enticing but forever elusive next big technological thing?
Geothermal energy – the harnessing of the heat trapped beneath the Earth's surface, either as space heating or as process heat to make electricity using steam turbines – seems like the ultimate no brainer. Wherever you are right this instant, there is abundant energy trapped no more than a few dozen yards under your feet, and in some places there are staggering amounts of it. Why not use it?
We do, of course. But for some reason it's forever the exception, the striking novelty that never gets copied, industrialized, mainstreamed.
A little while back, I mentioned in passing an amazing building I visited in Germany. It's a design school in the industrial city of Essen, on the grounds of a long-decommissioned coal mine. The building was designed by SANAA, the Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architecture firm.
Because the architects at SANAA takes sustainability more seriously than most, they went well beyond standard approaches to use any and all tools available on site to improve the efficiency of their building. In particular, they noticed that the operators of the Zollverein complex around them were pumping water out of the disused coal mines constantly to keep the ground from growing too soft and spongy for the buildings above; the water came to the surface at more than 80 degrees F. By routing that "waste" water through a tight web of pipes in the walls of their building, they managed to handle all of its heating and cooling needs without any insulation or external energy supplies – a brilliant application of geothermal energy.
So, yes, we do use geothermal energy, and in certain rare corners of the Earth, it's a major energy source. Those rare corners, though, tend to be extreme cases – Iceland, for example, because it is essentially a volcanic peak in the middle of the ocean, uses geothermal for more than 90 percent of space heating and 30 percent of its electricity generation.
This still leaves the question unanswered for those of us who aren't Icelandic and whose houses weren't built by Pritzker-winning starchitects. So again: What is the deal with geothermal? Surely an energy source almost as ubiquitous as sunshine and more consistent and reliable than any other renewable – trapped pockets of hot air and water, after all, don't vary like the wind or vanish in the night like the sun – could be doing much more for us than it currently does. So why doesn't it?
The research on geothermal's potential is unequivocal – jawdropping, really. Southern Methodist University's Geothermal Laboratory recently mapped the available geothermal resources for the whole United States, and found that there was enough readily available geothermal energy to produce 10 times as much electricity as coal currently does. This latent power was all within the first four miles of the Earth's crust – well within the reach of modern drilling techniques widely employed by oil and gas companies already. And as the report noted, many of the longstanding technical hurdles – needing to be situated on top of a volcano, for example, or drill practically to the center of the Earth – have been overcome by new geothermal technologies that work at lower temperatures and shallower depths.
The data for Canada, that vast landmass I call home, is even more staggering: a recent report by the Geological Survey of Canada found that with just 100 projects, geothermal could replace all of the country's current electricity supply. Canada could be entirely powered by geothermal. As one of the study's authors put it, "It is just silly not to take advantage of a heat source like this."
In China, meanwhile, ambitious research has begun on the design of systems to harness the heat trapped in depleted oil wells. Since, as New Scientist notes, "as much as half the cost of geothermal power plants comes from drilling," this could be a huge breakthrough for the cost competitiveness of geothermal energy.
So are we finally on the cusp of a global geothermal boom? Could I finally buy that summer home in the Hamptons I've had my eye on with checks from Big Geothermal? Alas, as has long been the case with geothermal, it's too soon to tell. The signs are good, though, that its time in the green-energy spotlight is pretty much now.

This week, we received a press release from the University of Michigan with a stunning subject line: "Emissions from new vehicles down a record 20% in five years".
"Okay", we thought, as we opened the email, "what's the catch?"
As it turns out, that's a little complicated.
Researchers at the University's Transportation Research Institute track a lot of statistics. For example, they keep tabs on fuel economy of new cars sold in the U.S., and they always let us know whether it's rising or falling. (Note: it's currently on the rise, but as fuel prices fall, that may change.)
UMTRI also tracks the emissions of new cars sold, and, just as the press release said, emissions have indeed fallen by 20% since 2007, when UMTRI began recording data.
Which, on the surface, is exactly the sort of thing that gives us reason to get out of bed in the morning. But then we look a little closer at the numbers, and we think about crawling back under the covers.
Can emissions keep falling?
Earlier this month, there was a lot of talk about carbon emissions — specifically, the fact that America's CO2 emissions have reached a 20-year low. Much of that drop is attributed to power plants switching from coal to cleaner natural gas. However, there are other factors to consider, including the stop-start economy and the mild winter that much of America saw last year, both of which cut down on energy consumption. Less energy consumption means less energy production, which means fewer CO2 emissions.
But assuming that the U.S. economy recovers (and assuming we have cold winters now and again), emissions could climb again. And those stats don't even begin to address CO2 emissions from other countries on the planet.
Could the improvement in auto emissions be just as precarious? If you look at the chart above, the green line indicates emissions from new vehicles, the red line correlates with fuel economy, and the blue line is distance driven.
What gives us pause is the fact that those lines often move in sync with one another. So, when miles-traveled and fuel consumption both fall, so do emissions. That's troubling because vehicular travel has been at historic lows. As the U.S. economy improves (and today's employment data indicates it is, slowly), road travel is likely to grow. And as that happens, vehicular emissions are almost certain to rise.
There are, however, a couple of bright spots on UMTRI's chart. For example, right around October of 2009, fuel economy improved fairly dramatically and emissions plummeted in direct correlation, even while vehicular travel remained unchanged.
As such, there seem to be at least four factors that could impede improvements in U.S. auto emissions:
- An improving U.S. economy: A better economy means more work and more jobs, which — until everyone telecommutes — almost certainly means more road travel and more emissions.
- A worsening U.S. economy: Financial troubles could also spell problems, forcing drivers to keep their old vehicles rather than trading up for ones with better fuel economy (unless, of course, the feds roll out another Cash-for-Clunkers program).
- Cheaper gas: When gas is inexpensive, shoppers aren't as concerned about fuel economy, and drivers are often more willing to travel longer distances. That creates the potential for a double-whammy on the emissions front.
- Political efforts to roll back fuel-efficiency improvements: This is perhaps the biggest obstacle to lowering U.S. auto emissions, since it rests in the hands of a few easily swayed politicians, not a bulky, complex economy. Even though consumers say that good fuel-efficiency remains hugely attractive — especially in light of high gas prices — we could envision a future administration taking on tasks like 86ing the current CAFE standards set for 2025.
But maybe we're being overly pessimistic. Maybe fuel economy for new cars will continue to increase, regardless of federal regulations, and maybe Americans will continue to drive less, regardless of the economy. Feel free to brighten (or darken) our day in the comments below.

I would also add Greg3 to my list of overall builders--while he only entered five MOCs and was therefore not eligible for the Master Buider, he won or got honorable mention with four out of five, which is a pretty amazing record. Kenn Oldham was another who only entered a few, but placed on thee out of four entries.

Buried at the end of this Nasdaq.com hosted Benzinga article on Ron Paul's winning stock strategy is the announcement that he may have made a cool $300,000 on Friday, when the rest of the market was running for the exits. Incidentally, this is the most liked article of the day (110 votes and counting), in stark contrast to the second closest article about Apple, which has a mere nine likes.
Given the "max value" of each position and holding it constant to today's prices, Paul's portfolio submitted to the Office of the Clerks was potentially worth over $3.5 million. With massive increase in gold prices, gold and silver mining stocks and funds have been performing very well today.
According to the stocks and funds Paul owned back in 2010, his dollar-weighted return today is 7.11%. Increasing his portfolio from yesterday's close of about $3.5 million to over $3.8 million today. Currently, the S&P 500 is down 1.9%. So, Ron Paul's portfolio is outperforming the S&P 500 by over 9.0% today.
For the sake of perspective, the most recent "Rise for Liberty" money bomb that began on May 17th managed to net $750K over the course of several days.
An article covering Paul's portfolio was posted over at The Wall Street Journal last December, where an expert gave a great quotable:
At our request, William Bernstein, an investment manager at Efficient Portfolio Advisors in Eastford, Conn., reviewed Rep. Paul's portfolio as set out in the annual disclosure statement. Mr. Bernstein says he has never seen such an extreme bet on economic catastrophe. "This portfolio is a half-step away from a cellar-full of canned goods and nine-millimeter rounds," he says.
There are many possible doomsday scenarios for the U.S. economy and financial markets, explains Mr. Bernstein, and Rep. Paul's portfolio protects against only one of them: unexpected inflation accompanied by a collapse in the value of the dollar. If deflation (to name one other possibility) occurs instead, "this portfolio is at great risk" because of its lack of bonds and high exposure to gold.
Unexpected? Huh.
Mitt Romney may have clenched the Republican Party presidential nomination and now spreads platitudes, but when the curtain closes on who truly understood monetary issues in 2012, it's going to be Ron Paul who is (once again) in the position of simply being able to point to his record and say "I told you so."

Thank you! You're doing more for me than McQuay is. You do hear something. I never paid attention to a "whoosh" per se, but you can definitely tell when it switches over to heat.
I've got the thermostat manual I haven't found anything that will help. I think the problem is at the receiver end. The thermostat does not have an "auto" it is either HEAT, COOL, or OFF. It's set to HEAT and I've set it to HOLD the temperature. Since it's a wireless thermostat, half the booklet is about installing nodes.
If it helps, the booklet I have has the following info:
