There's no greater cardio than dancing (except maybe a Barneys Warehouse Sale), and while most of us may not technically have professional moves, we're all disco queens in our own minds. DJs hold the key to our boogie bliss, and a substandard spinner can totally kill the mood. Since you know we'd hate to see you keep those moves you've been working on under wraps (and in front of the mirror), we've done a little recon and scoured the clubs, dives, and events to find the top live and local talent.
From the underground to the star-approved, there's a music mogul here to make even the wallflowers, two left footed peeps, and rhythmically challenged dance, shout, and shake their bodies down to the ground. It's always

text: Nickypoo's Story (22/ 3.5 Years Update Full Temple Regrowth - Duasteride) Don't see many Dutasteride people on here, so I hope you find my progress insightful. I take genuine Avodart 0.5mg/s every other day and I have used one bottle of Nizoral Shampoo 2% ketoconazole at the beginning of my treatment. I do not take minoxidil or any other topical treatments. I get my Avodart from http://www.drmpharmacy.com I have not experienced any side effects what so ever, and I have never had a 'shed'. Here is my hairline at age 12, always a prominent Norwood 2. Month 4 The darkened areas with small black hairs at the temples were totally miniaturised from male pattern baldness and non-visible before any treatment. They have thickened slightly up to my natural hairline. I am optimistic in the coming months these hairs will thicken to restore a full hairline. I hope "Avodart the hairline destroyer" myth can be put aside, Dutasteride isn't as scary as people claim in terms of side-effects or temple loss in my experience. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Month 5 I am now coming up to my fifth month on Dutasteride, and my hairline is still thickening rather rapidly. I no longer feel like a balding 18 year old and I couldn't be happier. I've grew my hair out quite long now about up to my eyes length which was impossible before due to the temples been so thin. Still no side effects or sheds to report. This is how my hair is styled. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Month 6 It was my 19th birthday last week, and I have experienced lot's of regrowth this month. My right temple has pretty much filled in completely and I am back to my normal hairline on this side. My left side has a little to catch up, but I'm positive it will have thicken up in time. I have so much more hair now than this time last year, life is just so good at the moment and I just hope my hair stays this way for a long time to come! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Month 8 Hello everyone, it seems I'm still seeing further re-growth when I thought I had peaked. Here are the month 8 progress pictures. My left temple has now completely filled in. Still no side effects or shedding on 0.5mg/ every other day of genuine Avodart. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 years - 2 months update Hello everyone, it Has been such a long time since I was last here, as promised, I will keep everyone up to date with my results to keep some good Dutasteride information available. So it has now been 2 years and 2 months since I took my first Dutasteride tablet, I still take 0.5mg every other day of genuine Avodart from the same pharmacy mentioned above. I haven't used Nizoral in about a year and a half, or any other product, just Dutasteride alone, no side-effects, sheds or anything else to report. I hadn't noticed my hair getting any thicker, but from these pictures it seems my hair more or less has fully restored at the temples. I am no longer paranoid about my hair, or even think about it falling out anymore, I guess you could call me cured. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 years - 6 months update As promised, I will keep returning to my post every once in a while to give an update. It has been 3 and a half years since I took my first Avodart pill, 22 years old now, where does the time fly? I am still maintaining all the hair I had grew back, I thought there were no changes in my hair at all, but from he look of these progress picture it seems it has thickened up a little more, this is surprising because I have gotten really sloppy with my Avodart intake, I have averaged around 1 every other 3 days. Not for any particular reason I just take one when I remember. Still no side-effects, no shedding. My health and fitness regime has been upped even more so and I am still improving in this area, no negative experiences from the Avodart and muscle mass increasing. So if you have any questions on my experience, Dutasteride or health & fitness I'll be more than happy to help. Thank you for reading my story, hope it is insightful for you all.

Stephan Martiniere is a long-serving concept artist who has worked on some of the biggest (or best) movies of the past fifteen years, from the new Star Wars movies to Fifth Element to Tron Legacy.
He also served as art director on id's 2011 shooter Rage (Stephen interviewed him a few years back about the project), and also worked on games like Stranglehold and Area 51. What we're here for today, though, is his work on the Total Recall reboot which hit US cinemas last week.
Say what you will about the movie itself - and opinions are a little mixed - the world Martiniere helped create is a gorgeous one, and for gamers is something that instantly brings to mind recent titles like Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Syndicate.
"The world in Total Recall is architecturally very unique, its a multi level environment blending modern and neo classic architecture", Martiniere tells Kotaku. "Buildings are built above or hanging under huge platforms or levels stacked in complex arrangements."
"I was concentrating on establishing an environment that felt both intricate, busy and cohesive, a world that was familiar but also would take your breath away."
Stephen is currently a creative consultant for Frima's concept art and film effects divisions. You can see more of his work (for movies, games and all kinds of other stuff) at his personal site.

I read the book Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat long time back and I liked it a lot. I have also watched the movie 3 Idiots and have to accept the movie was way better than my expectations. Even with some very filmy scenes, I think Raju Hirani has come up with a wonderful script and a movie in the same league as MunnaBhai series.
Movie is indeed different from the book although theme remains the same and is really a must watch, controversy or no controversy.
I was expecting to see Chetan Bhagat's name in the opening credit, but it wasn't there. I couldn't spot his name even in the closing/rolling credits. I will be lying if I say I didn't find it strange. I was surprised why Bhagat doesn't have anything to say about it. Finally he spoke after a few days and controversy erupted.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Hirani and Aamir slammed Bhagat in various press conferances terming him as publicity hungry etc. etc. Bhagat himself on his part did various TV interviews and wrote blog posts, 4 to be precise. Vinod Chopra decided to make the contract with Bhagat public at his site and also listed 30 reasons why movie is not same as the book. Media went ga-ga with the controversy, everybody wrote about it. Vir Sanghvi's take on the whole issue is available on his website and I really like what he has written and agree with all of it.
Latest is a video from Raju Hirani himself which many say proves all the allegations by Bhagat wrong. Well I don't agree and really don't understand why they don't see, what I see.
Here are my 2 cents on all the 3 allegations which Hirani seems to have successfully proved wrong:
1. Video shows what Chetan wrote on the blog about story being copied and then Raju interprets it in the video as the allegation of story being stolen. Chetan wrote what he wrote because he was not given credit for the story. People should understand that this is a different issue than the 'Based on Novel' credit issue and two should not be confused with each other.
This issue occurred because Hirani and VVC simply gave no credit to Chetan for the story. Instead they went on to prove that movie is different from the book and thus implying that Bhagat deserves no credit for the story.
I fully agree that movie is different from the book and 3i teams has done a fab job with the plot modification and screenplay, however it still has FPS connection and hence Bhagat's name should be there as Story Writer. Bhagat is not asking for exclusive story writing credit. He clearly mentions on the blog that he is happy to share the credit with other 2 story writers viz Hirani and Abhijat Joshi.
Chetan accepts selling rights to VVC and co so I think Hirani's comment are totally out of context.
2. Video then shows Chetan writing that he was denied due credit and Hirani shows the contract where it's clearly written that he will be given credit in the rolling credits. I can't agree or disagree with that statement but when Hirani goes on to say that they honored the contract to the T, I have strong objection to that statement.
I will first request you to check out the page 4 of 9 page long agreement between Bhagat and VVC films and then compare it with the actual 'Based on Novel' credit in the movie.
I have them both side by side here for you:
3. Finally Hirani says that Chetan alleges that he was not shown the script and he says that he narrated the script to himself personally and got an NDA signed. Now Chetan himself has already clarified on the blog that he was not shown the script, he never denied hearing narration. He himself says that hearing a narration is different from having a script in your hand and reading it fully so again I think Hirani is just confusing it.
So here is my final take on this whole issue:
I think VVC and Hirani just thought that Bhagat is a small writer and they can just ignore him and also probably they believed that since they have modified the story, no credit should be given to original author. I am not saying that such things don't happen ever and VVC and Hirani committed a big crime or something, but ya they probably in the excitement and enthusiasm of creating a great movie, which 3I really is, forgot to be ethical and as Vir Sanghvi says graceful.
Having said that this does not change my admiration and liking of anybody involved in the controversy. I love movies from Hirani and Aamir, they sure have a strong message and I will look forward to more such movies from them in future and I love Chetan Bhagat's writing so will keep looking forward to more books from him as well 🙂

SSE Faculty Lead Efforts in Release of Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBok) Version 1.0
Stevens Institute of Technology, together with its partner university, the Naval Postgraduate School, and the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC), released version 1.0 of the Guide to the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK) on Sept. 14, 2012.
Targeted to a broad audience, including practicing systems engineers, researchers, process improvement leads, project managers and faculty, the SEBoK is a major step forward for the rapidly maturing systems engineering discipline. The SEBoK contains112 articles on key topics, defines 364 glossary terms, and identifies more than 200 primary references and hundreds of additional references. Published in a Wiki format for ease of updating and for community participation in its maintenance, regular updates are planned, incorporating feedback from users, advances in the field, and improvements in the more than 100 Wiki articles.
Stevens Professor Art Pyster of the School of Systems and Enterprises (SSE) led the SEBoK project and serves as editor-in-chief. Stevens' Nicole Hutchison has also played a key leadership role and serves as an editor. Seventy authors from around the world contributed to the SEBoK, working in an open collaborative process. Comments from hundreds of reviewers worldwide were submitted and adjudicated to create the 1.0 release.
"A hallmark of a mature discipline is the community agreeing on the boundaries of that discipline, how to describe its knowledge, and what its most important writings are. A broad community of systems engineers has worked tirelessly for three years to do just that for systems engineering. We are all looking forward to its broad use by thousands of practicing systems engineers worldwide," said Pyster.
Stevens and the Naval Postgraduate School previously released for review three versions of the SEBoK, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75. Editors considered more than 4,000 comments from more than 150 reviewers. Moving forward, stewardship is expected to transition to the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computer Society (IEEE-CS) and the SERC.
The Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems Engineering DASD(SE) is the primary sponsor for the SEBoK. Partners in the project include INCOSE, IEEE-CS, IEEE Systems Council, Association for Computing Machinery, Institute for Industrial Engineers and National Defense Industrial Association.
The SEBoK was created as part of the BKCASETM Project which is also developing the Graduate Reference Curriculum in Systems Engineering, which will be released later this fall.

'Throwback' diner opens in New Milford
NEW MILFORD -- Every detail, from the design of the building to the garnish on the plate, was taken into account during the creation of the Dinerluxe American Grill that opened this week on Danbury Road.
"People eat with their eyes before their stomachs," said Peter Serroukas, a restaurateur with decades of experience creating unique eateries. "I want everything to look good, from when someone comes into the front door to when they leave. And of course we also offer great food, everything from a chicken salad club to a filet mignon with a martini and a stuffed olive."
Several of Serroukas' restaurants, including the Dinerluxe, were designed by Morris Nathanson Design, a world renowned designer that has worked on such restaurants as Carmine's in Manhattan and Euro Disney in Paris.
The designer also worked on the Everready Diner, with locations in Brewster and Hyde Park, N.Y., that was featured on the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" television series.
The exterior of the new Dinerluxe diner includes large "fins" similar to those on the 1957 Chevy Bel Air that light up at night as well as signs reminiscent of Las Vegas in the 1950s. The menu infuses traditional diner food with culinary cuisine and baked goods and desserts that are made on premises.
Serroukas teamed up with fellow restaurateur Peter Siasanas, who recently moved to New Milford with his family to help operate the new enterprise. Siasanas has operated diners in Long Island since 1975.
Serroukas, who lives near Unionville, N.Y., said he called Siasanas after taking a drive through New Milford where he was taking a relative to a doctor's office.
"I thought it was a great town with lots of activity and it would be a great place for a new diner," Serroukas said. "I've always had a knack for picking locations."
Darren Piper, a member of New Milford's Economic Development Commission, said its always exciting to see new businesses opening in town.
"It shows that New Milford wants to work with people and that we can attract new businesses into the community," he said. "I really appreciate all the hard work they've put into the new diner and their desire to invest in our community."
Since the new diner opened on Wednesday, Serroukas said the establishment has been packed with customers.
"I'm very happy I came to New Milford," he said. "I hope everyone who comes to visit us this week makes us one of their regular stops."

After testing the waters of the cheap-car class with the sub-$10,000 Versa, Nissan is planning to enter the even-cheaper next-generation Nissan Micra into the US market as part of an effort to hit one million annual vehicle sales.
Officials at Nissan's Yokohama global headquarters confirmed today their plans to offer the subcompact, based on a low cost "V platform," after the 2010 model year. The line will include a four door sedan, a five door hatch, and an MPV of some sort and will come in as Nissan's smallest US offering. The Micra will most likely come with a 3-cylinder engine in either gasoline or diesel form and Nissan's making claims it'll get an astounding 50% better fuel economy than the current model. The cost will also get a big cut as they've been hard at work reducing part count and overall complexity. [Auto News Sub. Req.]

I don't even know what to say to express the level of disappointment I have regarding this.¬ I logged in to eMusic today and discovered that my Premium Music Plan is going from 90 downloads a month to 50.¬ Ouch.¬ Looks like I'm going to have to start buying used cds again.¬ Following is the correspondence I sent them.
Changing my plan to 1/2 the downloads for the same price?¬ Not very recession friendly and pretty sorry.¬ Especially for a customer who has been with you for years.¬ If I wanted music from the Boss, Alicia Keys, and the Dixie Chicks I wouldn't be shopping at emusic.¬ Cancel my account and the level of respect I used to have for your site.
I have used eMusic for about 5 years or so and have learned of so many great bands from the site.¬ What a pity.

The story of a 13 year old girl sending 14,000 text messages in a single month got a lot of press, but truth be told, that figure is actually fairly low.
For example, Sprint has confirmed that a 14-year old Florida girl sent around 35,463 text messages in a month on two separate occasions. That works out to 1,182 a day. As sad and depressingly impressive as that is, those numbers don't come anywhere near the Guinness record. Apparently, that "honour" is held by a man...a GROWN man by the name of Deepak Sharma. He managed to send 182,689 messages in a single month—about 6100 messages a day (or 4.2 messages a minute). Yeah, that is insane. Good thing we have unlimited text plans—even though it is most likely a ripoff. [Herald Tribune via Fark Image via Flickr]

When should you use "affect" vs. "effect"? Most of the time "affect" is a verb and "effect" is a noun, but there are exceptions. We have an example, a memory trick, and a cartoon to help you remember when to use "affect" or "effect."
I get asked whether to use affect or effect all the time, and it is by far the most requested grammar topic, so I have a few memory tricks to help you remember. Before we get to the memory trick though, I want to explain the difference between the two words.
Buy Now
What Is the Difference Between 'Affect' and 'Effect'?
The majority of the time you use affect as a verb and effect as a noun. Affect can either mean "to influence" or "to act in a way that you don't feel." Effect typically means "a result."
'Affect' and 'Effect' Are Pronounced Differently
The words sound the same to a lot of people, but there is actually a small difference in how they are pronounced.
Effect is pronounced [ih-fekt], almost like it has an I-sound at the beginning.
The main way affect is pronounced is [uh-fekt], more like it has an A-sound at the beginning.
When Should You Use 'Affect'?
Affect with an a means "to influence," as in, The arrows affected Aardvark, or The rain affected Amy's hairdo. Affect can also mean, roughly, "to act in a way that you don't feel," as in, She affected an air of superiority.
When Should You Use''Effect'?
Effect has a lot of subtle meanings as a noun, but to me the meaning "a result" seems to be at the core of all the definitions. For example, you can say, "The effect was eye-popping," or "The sound effects were amazing," or "The rain had no effect on Amy's hairdo."
'Affect' vs. 'Effect' Example Sentences
Here are more examples of the common uses of affect and effect:
Effect as a noun
Squiggly marveled at the effect fishing had on Aardvark's mood.
Aardvark wondered whether the heat was having an effect on the fish.
Affect as a verb
Squiggly wished that beans didn't affect his stomach so much.
Aardvark's grumpiness affected everyone else's mood last night.
'Affect' vs. 'Effect': Common Uses
Most of the time, affect is a verb and effect is a noun.
There are rare instances where the roles are switched, and I'll get to those later, but for now let's focus on the common meanings. This is "Quick and Dirty" grammar, and my impression from your questions is that most people have trouble remembering the basic rules of when to use these words, so if you stick with those, you'll be right about 95% of the time.
Most of the time, affect is a verb, and effect is a noun; and now we can get to the memory tricks and more examples,
'Affect' vs. 'Effect': The RAVEN Trick
I remember how to use affect and effect by thinking of a big black raven. A raven? Yes, a raven! Because raven has the letters A-V-E-N in it, and those also stand for
Affect: Verb Effect: Noun
Fix that image of a raven in your mind, and you'll always remember the most common way to use these words. I actually remember the sentence The craven raven flew down the avenue, because craven, raven, and avenue all have the A-V-E-N sequence, and in my mind, the evil raven is flying down the avenue of a German town with those timbered white Bavarian-style houses. I don't know why. I have a wild imagination. Find yours, and really imagine that affect-verb-effect-noun raven so you'll always remember it.
Once people remember the RAVEN trick, they often ask for tips to figure out whether the word they're trying to use is a noun or a verb. Do I have some? Of course, I do!

Swedish cheesecake – Småländsk ostkakaMonday, October 4th, 2010
Swedish cheesecake with whipped cream, blackberries and jam.
I know, I know. The photo is really bad and doesn't do this dessert any justice. This Swedish cheesecake, originating from the province of Småland, is probably far from any cheesecake you've ever had. It's not at all like the smooth biscuit based New York cheesecake. This cheesecake is grainy, full of toasted chopped almonds and has a very vague taste of bitter almond. And it's absolutely lovely! Serve it lukewarm with berries, jam and whipped cream. This cheesecake needs to be served directly from the pan it was baked in as it's not really sliceable.
To make Swedish cheesecake you need to make your own cheese, but don't let that scare you off. You'll need rennet and in Sweden you'll always find it at the pharmacy. If I'm not wrong, bitter almonds are banned in the US. They are poisonous, but only in very large quantities so don't worry as they are very common in European baking. If you live in the US you can substitute with almond extract.
Småländsk ostkaka – Swedish cheesecake from Småland
(Based on a Gert Klötzke recipe. I significantly increased the amount of almonds, increased the amount of egg and used vanilla infused sugar).
Serves 6-8
Day 1:
3 litres of milk (at least 3 % fat)
75 g flour
2 tsp rennet
Day 2:
400 ml double cream
3 eggs
90 gram sugar (vanilla infused).
2 small bitter almonds, finely grated
100 gram blanched almonds, roasted and chopped
Mix 200 ml milk with flour and rennet to a smooth batter. In a big pan, heat the rest of the milk to 35 degrees C. Add the flour mixture and stir until it reaches 37 degrees C. Remove from the heat and let stand for 30 minutes. Carefully separate the whey from the cheese using a very fine sieve and/or cheese cloth. Let it continue to drain in the fridge over night.
The next day combine the cheese with the rest of the ingredients. Pour the batter into a buttered pan. Bake the cheesecake in 165 degrees C until it has a nice and golden colour, approximately 30-40 minutes. Make sure it's completely baked but not overbaked.
Serve lukewarm with jam, berries and whipped cream.

New Limbless Lizard Discovered
Posted by: Loren Coleman on May 29th, 2007
The discovery of a new species of limbless lizard (pictured above), belonging to the genus Sepsophis, was announced on May 28, 2007.
The seven-inch-long lizard was found 10 days before during a field study in the forested region of Khandadhar near Raurkela in Orissa state, India, about 625 miles southeast of New Delhi.
It prefers to live in a cool retreat, soft soil and below stones. The lizard is new to science and is an important discovery. It is not found anywhere else in the world. The new species will be scientifically described at a later stage after accumulation of more data. Dr. Sushil Kumar Dutta of Vasundhra and Head of Zoology, North Orissa University, Baripada, India, as told to the Associated Press.
The closest relatives of the new species are found in Sri Lanka and South Africa.
Another species of the same genus, Sepsohis punctatus, was found in 1870 from the Golconda hills in Andhra Pradesh, said Varadi Giri, a scientist at the Bombay Natural History Society, who was not part of the team that found the lizard. Giri said Dutta is a reputed zoologist and his claim appears legitimate.
"But for an independent confirmation, one has to wait for the publication of the finding in a reputed science magazine," Giri noted.
Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world's leading cryptozoologists, some say "the" leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson's Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct). Loren Coleman's daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015. Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.

Gary Strieker brings Assignment Earth to Napa Valley, where more sustainable practices — from growing cover crops to harnessing the power of the sun — have taken hold. Doug Shafer of Shafer Vineyards, says that hasn't always been the case. (Video: Assignment Earth)
>> California's Napa Valley is home to some of the finest wines made in America. Grape growers and wine vintners in Napa are fiercely proud of their wines and protecting the environment they are grown in is a top priority. Doug Shafer of Shafer Vineyards has been a leading proponent of sustainable farming practices for many years and it's not always been easy.
>> When I first started doing this, I'd be at meetings with other growers and I got a lot of funny looks, 'cause there was only a few of us doing it back there.
>> Where there was once bare earth between grapevine rows, Shafer planted cover crops with a variety of beneficial effects. Soil nutrients were replenished. And, new habitats created for beneficial bugs that prey on harmful pests, thereby minimizing use of chemicals on grapes. Hundreds of solar panels are the most obvious bow to green technology. Shafer Vineyards became 100% solar supported in 2004. Their solar arrays generate 229 kilowatts of electricity at peak, creating a surplus of energy, which is then returned to the grid to power other vineyards in the valley. More sustainable systems at the winery include composting of waste vegetation, nesting sites and perches for birds, which control insects and rodents, and the treatment and recycling of all water used on site.
>> This whole movement to farm and produce wines more organically, sustainably, it's almost become the norm. It's almost the expected.
>> Across the Valley at Far Niente Winery, those sustainable practices are also catching on. Far Niente has enthusiastically adopted the change to sustainable and organic practices, including an ingenious approach to solar power.
>> Behind me is Far Niente's Floatovoltaic system. It's a pontoon based, a floating solar array. It's designed to offset 100% of the winery's energy usage.
>> While it still might be too early to quantify the result sustainability practices have on grapes and wines, winemakers are confident the payoff will be reflected in their quality.
>> The quality of our juice seems to be a little bit better than it used to be and if you've got better quality juice, the hope is you'll have better quality wines.
>> As environmental responsibility achieves a major role in the business of winemaking here, Napa Valley is becoming a leader in the global environmental movement and that is really something to toast.

Digging Deeper: Making Cross-Curricular Connections
August 26, 2014 at 11:22 am smithsoniangardens Leave a comment
We are kicking off the start of the new school year with a guest blog post by Michael Torguson, a teacher in Medford, Oregon who spent the summer teaching school at a juvenile detention facility. He used soil as a jumping off point for his students to study the science, history and geography of locations across the globe, widening their world.
Teaching is a challenge under the best of circumstances. Teaching summer school at a juvenile detention facility, the challenge gets kicked up a notch (or two!).
When I asked the kids what they wanted to learn over the summer, they said they wanted to learn botany. So we did the usual: planted an herb garden, studied water ecology and how pollution affects the land (and by extension, plants), and the properties of soil. In a regular school setting, the usual procedure would be for students to scatter around the school grounds, locate their patch of soil, mark it on a school map, and do their analysis.
But how do you teach soil and plant biology when students cannot leave the building? Answer: bring the soil from outside . . . in. I was originally going to take a weekend, drive around town, and collect soil from different areas. Then I had an idea: why not collect soil from all over the country? I reached out to various "famous places" and requested soil from their grounds for the kids to analyze. I got some very interesting responses, from "This is unprecedented!" to "You just want … dirt?"
I also got some happily unexpected responses, from "Soil from the Trinity Nuclear Test Site will always be radioactive" to the one from my new friend, Smithsonian Gardens' own Supervisory Horticulturist Brett McNish. McNish said he did a similar project a while back and offered to send some soil that he was able to collect from overseas. So Brett sent me soil from the U. S. Embassy Grounds in Kabul, a Forward Operating Base in Iraq, sand from Omaha Beach, as well as from the garden near the National Museum of the American Indian.
In all, we received and tested soils from:
- Arecibo Observatory, Puerto Rico
- Central Park, New York
- Dodger Stadium, California
- Forks, Washington (We had a Twilight fan in class!)
- Haleakala, Hawaii
- Harvard Yard, Massachusetts
- Los Angeles Coliseum, California
- Monticello, Virginia
- Mt. Vernon, Virginia
- Old North Church, Massachusetts
- Pike's Peak, Colorado
- The Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
- Trinity Nuclear Test Site, New Mexico
- Very Large Antenna Array, New Mexico
- White Sands Missile Testing Range, New Mexico
A Social Studies teacher by training (and excitable by nature), I decided not to limit the science project just to science; I decided to add geography and history to the mix. The project was getting really interesting!
The project evolved, and ultimately each student:
- Learned the Scientific Method and proper observation and documentation methods;
- Performed Soil Properties Classification (all students classified all soils);
- Conducted Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium (NPK) and pH testing;
- Researched what each of the above tests mean in terms of soil health;
- Researched the climate and geography of the region;
- Researched the history of the location where they received the soil;
- Created and presented their report to the class.
Best of all, the students rose to the challenge! Not only did they follow correct analysis procedures, but they also wrote very good historical and scientific summaries. As a bonus, they got to keep their dirt as a souvenir. (Except for the Trinity Soil – I didn't want to have to answer questions about why I was giving radioactive material to students!)
In the end, the students had fun, learned a few things, and got to "visit" places they otherwise would not have been able to go. I also learned an important lesson about creatively teaching across the curriculum.
Oh, and in case you are wondering, the student who analyzed the Smithsonian soil reports that:
"The soil was dark brown, with lots of small roots. It was rich and healthy. The Phosphorous level was low (0-50lb/acre), there were trace amounts of Nitrogen and Potassium, and the pH level is 7.0."
-Michael Torguson. During school year Michael is a substitute teacher at Central Medford High School in Medford, Oregon.

Manuela Sáenz, byname Manuelita, (born Dec. 27, 1797, Quito, New Granada [Ecuador]—died Nov. 23, 1856, Paita, Peru), mistress to the South American liberator Simón Bolívar, whose revolutionary activities she shared.
Sáenz was the illegitimate daughter of a Spanish gentleman, and the stigma of her birth caused many early hardships. On the death of her mother, Joaquina Aispuru, she was sent to live at the convent of Santa Catalina. She remained there until age 17, when she married James Thorne, a wealthy British merchant. Thorne took her to Lima, where Sáenz first came into contact with the movement for independence. She returned to her birthplace, Quito, in June 1822 and met Bolívar after his triumph in the area. They fell in love, and she united her life with his and with the cause for which he was fighting.
Sáenz shared both Bolívar's zenith and his decline. Her attempts to keep the Peruvians on his side were in vain. She was exiled from Lima and joined Bolívar in Bogotá, where on Sept. 25, 1828, she saved him from conspirators. When she learned of his death in 1830, she tried unsuccessfully to take her own life. In 1834 she was exiled from Bogotá and moved to the small Peruvian port of Paita, where she made a living as a vendor of sweets and tobacco. She died there during a diphtheria epidemic.

text: When we reported on lengthy fuel lines in Houston after Hurricane Ike, we made an off-hand joke about Prius owners no longer being a target of ridicule for truck owners. Walking our way to the coffee shop we now call home we noticed, amid the trucks, a lowly first-gen Honda Insight waiting to fill up. Damon Reed, the owner of the little hybrid, didn't seem to be too worried about the gas lines. Reed says he's been getting up to 60 miles on a gallon of gas while driving around suburban Houston and this is the first time since the Hurricane, which struck late Friday night, that he's gone to the gas station. He still had half a tank, but this particular gas station recently reopened and the line was therefore not as long as it had previously been. Though drivers in large trucks physically look down on Reed, he claims that, for the most part, people are merely curious about the vehicle. His entire family drives hybrids so they're doing better than many in the area. Unfortunately, he's been living in hard-hit Galveston and has no idea whether or not any of his possessions survived.

Successful homeownership benefits the homeowner and the surrounding neighborhood. Homeownership is successful for the homebuyer when all of the associated costs - mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and repairs - are understood and manageable. Homeownership is successful for the neighborhood when the new homeowner is committed to maintaining their home and caring about the surrounding neighborhood. In fact, successful homeownership benefits the whole city with stronger community involvement and stabilized property values.
The Urban Development Department funds programs, administered through NeighborWorks®Lincoln, that help moderate-income people become successful first-time homeowners.
First Time Homebuyer Program

Government Resources for Homebuyers
As homebuyers move closer to homeownership, they will work with realtors and lenders, many of whom will be aware of the various government programs available to help homebuyers. Even so, as a homebuyer, you will be better prepared if you research these government resources yourself. This list of Web sites is not comprehensive, but it can get you started:

Clone Our Website, and convert to HTML
Bajet $20-100 USD
[url removed, login to view]
Clone Project
We are looking for someone who can clone our very own website from scratch. Our current website that is located at [url removed, login to view] was written in PHP and is full of backdoors, and malicious scripts in the code. Instead of trying to fix the code, and locate the malicious scripts we want to re-create our own website using HTML and using a fresh code.
You job will basically be rewriting our website in HTML using a fresh code and not in PHP. You will also be setting up and installing WHM AutoPilot on our server and customizing the 4 pages of the checkout screen which are written in PHP.
Here are some more details…
Redesign the way these two pages are setup… [url removed, login to view] and [url removed, login to view] getting rid of the ugly boxes and just give it a nice clean layout for the packages that I am offering.
Please be VERY careful about just trying to copy and paste the content as our current website has many hidden malicious scripts and bugs in the site, and we do not want this to carry over to the new site.
Install, customize and setup WHM Autopilot, including adding all the packages that we offer. When customizing whm autopilot you will only have to add our flash header and standard html footer to 4 php files, which should be very easy.
Redesign this page completely… [url removed, login to view]
Create a box in the hosting packages pages and reseller hosting packages which will allow the customers to check domain name availability directly on my website.
Flash banner will remain the same, however the navigation links bar located at the bottom of the flash banner should be separated and be setup using basic html which will allow for drop down links. You should design the navigation links so that it flushes in with the flash header. Again, the navigation bar will not be in flash. You must also provide us with the fla files. We have the current fla files for the current flash on our website
You should visit the site, and just make any minor mods that you deem necessary to help keep the look of my site up.
Left side navigation will remain the same mostly, except for the sub links on the about us page, will be removed.
We do need this project to be completed ASAP!
We will consider all bids carefully. We also value communication between each other very dearly. We are on Yahoo and AIM quit often, so the winner designer will be able to keep in close contact with us.
We also have many projects that also need to be done, and if you do a good job for a good price there is a very good chance that you will automatically be given more projects from us

Project Tarmac, Part 2: 2012 Ford F-150
Sheetmetal, Suicide Doors, and A Splash of Red Leather
Last month, we delved deep into Project Tarmac, a 2012 F-150 being built by the talented father and son duo of Ron and Casey Scranton, of CGS Motorsports. We showed you the custom suspension work, rearend being narrowed, and those huge wheels and tires being stuffed under the bed, but this month we're cracking into the unique bodywork and one-off interior. Taking a welder and cutoff wheel to Ford's iconic and über-popular F-150 isn't something for the faint of heart, but for these two custom truck aficionados, it was a must to make their truck really make people scratch their heads.
The exterior mods seem simple at first glance, but it's the uncanny attention paid to each detail that will make you undoubtedly appreciate the amount of work put into it. The hood, doors, handles, tailgate, roll pan, and grille are all so custom they look stock. We know it seems impossible, but just take a look at the work they did in this story and then go back and look at the cover feature found on page 64 for a virtual "light switch" moment. You'll just get it, and then you'll never be able to look at another stock F-150 the same.

Police Say Body Found in Michigan Woods is Brenna Machus
Police say body found in Michigan woods is Brenna Machus
July 18, 2013 -- Michigan police confirmed that a body found in a wooded area this morning is that of 20-year-old store clerk Brenna Machus, who was kidnapped on Monday in an incident that also included the murder of her co-worker.
Machus's body was found just miles from the Family Dollar store in Dearborn, Mich., where she was abducted and her colleague Joseph Orlando, 20, was shot.
Police offered no details on the condition of the body.
"I feel rather enraged that we have another homicide in Dearborn at this time," Police Chief Ron Haddad said.
"Brenna is my youngest, shining star. She is loved by many," her mother, Lisa Machus, said at a news conference prior to the body's discovery, in an emotional appeal to her abductor.
Surveillance video captured images of the suspect, a man wearing dark clothes and a hood over his head. His face cannot be seen, but police hope someone recognizes his clothing or can identify him by the way he walks.

Was Gov. Hickenlooper's Dunlap decision moral principal or political gain?
By Chris Rawlings
Colorado Voices
It is one of the more underwhelming and perplexing aphorisms in politics that you can't legislate morality.
But policymakers often do just that. Take Gov. John Hickenlooper's recent "reprieve" for Chuck E Cheese's killer Nathan Dunlap, in which the governor's personal understanding of capital punishment trumped that of the nine jurors who originally gave Dunlap a sentence of death.
To be sure, a temporary reprieve is a bizarre sort of fence-straddling that shows a weakness in leadership that should alarm both supporters and opponents of the death penalty. But it was, nevertheless, an interesting move from a Democrat. Throughout George W. Bush's presidency, and often whenever conservative legislators attempt to pass abortion restrictions or define marriage traditionally, liberal opponents attack them for bringing their religious and moral perspectives into the broader policy discussion and decision-making process.

Sunday October 28, 2007
The next 3 games for the Steelers are against AFC North Rivals. Assuming the Steelers can win all three of these games they could add some serious distance between themselves and all the others. Cincinnati is coming off a come from behind win last weekend against the the lonely Jets. I'm not convinced that is a confidence building win just because it was the J-E-T-S! Besides, since Mr. Chad is a band wagoner himself, rumors are starting to fly that he wants out. So... right now the Bengals just aren't looking good and have a lot of unknowns especially on the defensive side of the ball.
Pittsburgh is coming off a last second loss last weekend after experimenting in the first half only to come storming back in the second half to tie the game with a minute to go. The last time the Steelers lost they responded with an impressive beating of the Seahawks, so we know Tomlin can at least turn the ship around fairly quickly to get this Steelers team back where they need to be... in the W column!
Flat out... the Bengals defense SUCKS! It's a good thing they at least have some what of an offense that has kept them in some of their games. Big Ben should be able to pick apart of the Bengals and have a career day while a lot of the other guys like, Ward, Holmes and FWP should have as well.
When it comes to the Bengals offense, all they really have is a passing game but you can probably equate that to being behind and completely eliminating the running game (ranked 21st) and relying on the pass. Plus, there was the one game against Cleveland where Palmer threw for 25% of his total yards on the season. The Steelers defense, still ranked first in the league, had a little bump in the road last week. Watch for them to respond in a big way again this weekend and cause havoc on the Bengals!
Join us this Sunday here in the gameday thread as we talk about the game and cheer our Steelers to a victory!

At a meeting of the Welsh Language Society today it was announced that the Welsh language is to be provided with a future tense "to make it easier to do things we haven't done before".
A spokesman told reporters "We've thought about it for a long time. It's pretty obvious that a future tense comes in handy when you want to, you know, plan stuff as opposed to just remembering what Wales used to be like.
"It wasn't an easy thing to suggest, because we only speak Welsh at our meetings, which currently has three tenses – the Present, the Past and the Glorious Past. So planning something like this was impossible. In the end one of our members suggested we all learn sign language, and that worked pretty well. It was either that or use English, and I'd rather eat my own faeces."

Revere finds silver lining in ankle surgery
Todd Zolecki is a reporter for MLB.com.
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Phillies center fielder Ben Revere pronounced himself healthy and ready to go Thursday. Revere broke his right ankle in July, which required season-ending surgery.
"It may have helped make me faster, because of my form now," Revere said. "I've been running a lot since rehab, and I'm working on getting out of the box. I think I'm getting out of the box a lot quicker."
Revere hit .200 with a .456 OPS through April last season, before hitting .347 with a .784 OPS from May 1 through July 13.

Johnson City, Tenn. -- The East Tennessee State University women's tennis team swept by Wofford, 5-0, this afternoon at Memorial Center. The win improved ETSU to 14-4, 8-1 in the Southern Conference. Today's win was the seventh straight for the Bucs and the 12th in the last 13 matches.
The Bucs were dominate throughout the match as the visiting Terriers were able to win only six games throughout the match. The teams did not play doubles.
Today's match was the regular-season finale for the Bucs. ETSU has clinched the #2 seed in the upcoming Southern Conference Championship and secured a first-round bye. ETSU will play the winner of the match between the seventh and 10th seeds on April 28.
"It was good to get a win after a short turnaround from yesterday's match at UNC Greensboro," said ETSU Head Coach Tom Russ. "Yesterday was a long day with the rain delay and then we didn't get back to campus until early this morning. It was nice to see the team come back strong. We are looking forward to next weekend's Southern Conference Championships. We are playing very well right now."
#1 Paty Vega (ETSU) def. Anna Martin 6-1, 6-0

Jolt Product Excellence Award
Balsamiq Mockups
Balsamiq Mockups is a breakthrough communication medium for presenting one's vision and describing that vision to others. For clients of a project, interface design can take many forms, from wireframes, to images, to sample screens written in HTML. Writing code is typically out of the question for business teams, images are difficult to maintain for developers, and wireframe tools are generally too cumbersome for both.
Most wireframe tools miss the mark by trying to recreate the end state — there is simply too much detail. While it might sound counter-intuitive at first glance, more is not always better. What happens is that businesses and developers end up trying to get the wireframe to look like the final, perfect product, and burn up a lot of time in the process. Mockups eliminates that problem by using an interface that is as easy to use as a felt-tip pen on a blank sheet of paper. The palette is organized by familiar categories, and all the icons are instantly recognizable; every user can look through this visual menu and say, "Yes — I want one of those."
Mockups can export directly to PDF, making screen designs highly portable and readily available to all team members. Additionally, Mockups can export and import designs as XML. With its features, ease-of-use factor, and price (only $79), Balsamiq Mockups is clearly a tool for all teams.
Congratulations to Balsamiq on Mockups, recipient of our Jolt Product Excellence Award for the Utilities category.

Jolt Productivity Award #1: Utilities Category
One of the premier screen recording utilities for the Windows platform has continued to excel at its feature to price performance ratio. New in the latest release of TechSmith's Camtasia are enhanced captioning support, speech-to-text transcription (way cool), searchable video based on spoken word or on-screen text, and the ability to export for iPad video playback — just to name a few.
The program includes an intuitive video editor to help spruce up screencast presentations, various callouts to focus on sections of the screen, as well as keypress displays and animated shape overlays that give presentations a live whiteboard feel.
Having been a Camtasia user since the early days, I'm still amazed by how new and fresh the application's interface, feature set and advanced capabilities keep this uber-helpful utility a must-have.
Even after all these years, TechSmith's Camtasia Studio is still the best screen recording utility for Windows (and an up and comer now on the Mac platform) available for developers, marketers, and instructors today. Congratulations on receiving one of our Jolt Productivity Awards in the Utilities category!

Jolt Productivity Award #2: Utilities Category
VMware Workstation
Early releases of VMware Workstation — a product designed for testing cross-platform code — started the entire virtualization revolution. Each new release, including the recent VMware Workstation Version 7.1 adds or enhances the developer features.
For example, VMware Workstation includes the ability to hit a bug and then step the virtual machine backwards in time to replay the defect and see how it came about. New integrations with Visual Studio, Eclipse, and VMware's own Spring tools make it possible to do this while testing 32- and 64-bit code running on up to 8 cores directly from within the IDE. And when the problem is located, the VM at point of failure can be snapshot, time-stamped, and sent to QA as defect documentation. No tool provides a more complete test environment.
Congratulations to VMware Workstation 7.1 for receiving one of our Jolt Productivity Awards in the category of Utilities.

It's What We Do
ASTM International standards are synonymous with quality and relevance. We know that. And we know that they are the standards of choice wherever choosing is an option. But choice isn't what keeps them within the world's grasp. It's accessibility. Accessibility that is easy, affordable, comprehensive and instantaneous. In other words, this great, world-renowned body of work must be published, marketed and distributed, and that must be done with the best, cutting-edge technology available.
How many of us can remember phrases like "out of stock," "out of print" and "shipping charges"? The answer is, every technical expert or customer who used an ASTM International standard 10 or more years ago. They can also remember when books and individual paper copies were the sole conveyances of the world's most enviable technical documents. Modifications or changes to ASTM standards did not become generally available until new volumes were printed and shipped. Dog-eared copies of paper documents were passed around and shared by engineers, laboratory technicians and manufacturing supervisors within the same company. Today, the use of a paper document or book of standards hand delivered by mail or courier is much rarer.
Technology has changed every aspect of the work that supports the ASTM International standardization development and publication process. ASTM standards - and a range of information surrounding them - can now be instantly downloaded on any electronic device. The thought processes that lead up to standardization, the how-to of applying the standard, standards translated into other languages, training courses for the application of that standard - all in one package - can now be acquired by a touch or a click. This is something that researchers and engineers, just 10 years ago, could only dream about. Now, it's what we do.
When ASTM International launched its Standards and Engineering Digital Library eight years ago, more than 1,400 books, more than 60,000 articles and chapters, and more than 12,000 standards became, in one repository, one of the world's most comprehensive and credible resources for technical standards and related information. The digital library gave customers and users around-the-clock access to ASTM standards and nearly all of ASTM's publications - manuals, monographs, journals and special technical publications. The latter, based on symposia sponsored by ASTM's technical committees, written and peer-reviewed by the same experts who write the standards, contain critical information, such as guidance on the proper application and interpretation of standards and users' experiences. The online library made all this instantly available.
But the quest for enhancement led to another web-based idea: ASTM Compass, a portal that now provides instant access to all the ASTM content an organization needs - standards, online training (including videos of certain ASTM test methods), publications, translations and more. ASTM Compass allows a subscribing enterprise's entire staff to add and share notes, images and attachments, to see redlined changes to standards and to provide organization-wide access to the thousands of papers and books in the ASTM Standards and Engineering Digital Library. Using ASTM Compass, an organization's staff can log onto one consolidated platform and get a cross-indexed, tailored electronic package from which it can access all of its ASTM standards and its Standards and Engineering Digital Library subscriptions.
This ability to access and manipulate mounds of data is a mind-boggling manifestation of the digital age and is probably more astonishing to those of us who can remember what it was like 10 years ago. But if anyone can appreciate it fully, it is those researchers and engineers, manufacturers and architects, those builders and regulators, laboratory technicians, production managers, students and their professors, those small enterprises in every corner of the world, and anyone who ever needed ASTM standards and dreamed that this might be possible. Now, it is what we do.
James A. Thomas
President, ASTM International

While this brought PDF well past its initial goal of $100,000 (all of which Mr. Brilliant promised to match), the news got even better.
Upon hearing about Mr. Benjamin's gift, Mr. Brilliant DOUBLED his challenge. If PDF reaches $200,000 by Thursday, June 30, Mr. Brilliant will match every single gift to benefit Parkinson's research.
Stories of Our Donors, NBC Nightly News Clip
Irving G. Brilliant, J.D.
Mr. Brilliant is a long-time resident of Brooklyn, NY, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2003. A Harvard-trained attorney, Mr. Brilliant spent most of his career on Wall Street. At a young age, he sat on the US legal team at the Nuremberg trials prosecuting leaders of Nazi Germany. With his challenge gift, he is hoping to spur philanthropic interest in scientific research seeking the cause(s) of and a cure for the disease.
The Light of Day Foundation and Bob Benjamin
Mr. Benjamin was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1996 at the age of 38, and shortly thereafter, founded Light of Day Foundation, which has held concerts all over the world to raise funds for Parkinson's. Performers have included Bruce Springsteen. The concerts have raised over $1 million to benefit Parkinson's organizations. Last year, PDF presented Mr. Benjamin and The Light of Day Foundation with the Page and William Black Humanitarian Award.
Mr. Benjamin was recently profiled on NBC Nightly News for his work in the Parkinson's community, a clip you can view below. In his interview, Mr. Benjamin states,
"I don't look at what I can't do, I look at what I can do."
Certainly, he has given much to the Parkinson's community.
We are grateful for not only his support, but for yours in helping us to reach the challenge goal to fund much needed Parkinson's research. The efforts made this April by Mr. Benjamin, Mr. Brilliant and all of you around the country are truly inspirational.
We encourage you to watch this video below and invite your feedback on the fundraising challenge, the gifts by Mr. Benjamin and Mr. Brilliant and your experiences this April in raising awareness.
