A surfer and traveler, a graduate of film school and photographer, Keegan Gibbs comes from a family of artists. He's been skateboarding for a long time, too. Out of Southern California, he came, and now uses the same area and aesthetic for much of his creative work. His work branches out though, encompassing many different themes and lifestyles. Keegan in his own words:
"I am an aquanaut on a thruster in this ever amazing and boundless source of liquid energy. For me every choice and relationship, all decisions and waking thoughts (and most dreams) are influenced by the pull of the tides, the whiff of an offshore breeze, and the lucid corduroy lines gracefully stampeding towards the coast."
He's made a few rad videos that you can see below.

Bob Basharas attorney on Friday disputed comments by Joe Gentzs friend that repeated allegations that Bashara forced Gentz to murder Jane Bashara.
How incredible is it to hear one story after another? attorney David Griem told The Macomb Daily on Friday. Weve heard seven or eight stories from Joe Gentz, and most of them have been repeated by his friend.
Steve Virgona, Gentzs longtime friend, reportedly called a Detroit radio show Friday morning and said Gentz told him Bashara ordered Gentz to kill Jane Bashara at gunpoint. Gentz also revealed Jane Basharas last words, Virgona said, a published report said.
Lets put it this way, he (Gentz) said Bashara pointed a gun at him and said Do it now, Virgona said, adding, Her last words were please dont do that, please dont do that.
Bashara told Gentz, Youre going to do the job or youre going to die with her, according to a published report.
Griem incredulously retorted, How bizarre is it that someone would point a gun at someones head and order him to kill someone else?
Virgona also told a Detroit newspaper Friday that Gentz indicated that Bashara tried to hire a second man to kill his wife, seeking someone to run her over with a vehicle.
He said Bob wanted to make it look like a hit-and-run accident, Virgona said, according to the newspaper. She was supposed to be hit by a car, and it wouldve looked like an accident. I never said yes, I never said no, but I obviously didnt do it. Joe also told me there was another guy Bob tried to hire to kill Jane, but he turned it down.
Virgona said on the radio, Joes told me for sure that Bob Bashara offered some other people (money for murder), third parties.
Griem responded, Theres a theory in football and life, the best defense is offense.
Griem contended that Gentz invented his version despite his reported mental drawbacks.
How smart do you have to be to come up with a story like that? he said. You dont have to be a genius to think up a story like that.
Gentz, formerly of Warren and St. Clair Shores, is charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to do the same for the Jan. 24 strangling death of Jane Bashara, 56, whose body was found the next day in her Mercedes SUV in an east side Detroit alley.
Gentz performed handyman jobs for Bashara, who owns properties.
Bob Bashara has been named as a person of interest in the case but has not been charged.
Gentzs preliminary examination was scheduled for Friday but adjourned to June 11 in 36th District Court in Detroit to give the state Center for Forensic Psychiatry more time to complete a report on Gentzs ability to understand the criminal allegations and to assist in his defense.
Virgona told the radio that Gentz has passed the mental tests with flying colors.
But Gentzs attorney, Susan Reed, contradicted that Friday, saying the report isnt done. She said she was told in court Friday morning the forensic center indicated it needed at least four weeks to finish. It is waiting on other reports, she said.
Virgona also said on the radio that Gentz had a brain aneurysm, but Reed said she has never heard that.
Virgona said Gentz is very easy to manipulate.
If theres anything involved with money or something hell jump right into it, Virgona said.
Griem threw suspicion onto Virgona, saying he could be among other persons of interest connected to the case. Griem noted that Virgona owns a parcel near where Basharas body was found.
Virgona in his on-air comments was critical of the Grosse Pointe Park police. He couldnt believe they released Gentz on Feb. 3 after Gentz walked into the station to confess four days prior.
Thats something I never understood I was shocked, Virgona said.
Virgona said he was with Gentz after his release and felt like a babysitter for a week.
The case has garnered high interest as it was revealed Bob Bashara was having an affair and led a secret sex life in Detroits S&M underground scene. Bashara has referred to his alleged mistress, Rachel Gillett, as a friend.
In other recent developments, Gillett late last week filed for a personal protection order against Bashara in Wayne County, claiming she was concerned about her safety after Bashara repeatedly tried to contact her in person, on the phone and through text messages in the weeks after the slaying.
Gillett was fired from her job at Wayne State University in Detroit after she left work the day the murder was discovered.
Earlier in April, a Wayne County judge ordered Bashara to submit a handwriting sample as part of the investigation. His signature reportedly was going to be compared to a signature on a greeting card to Gillett among other items.

Naughty School Girls
October 13th, 2012Tera Lee Is A Naughty Little School Girl
I love thinking back on my school days when I was a really naughty little school girl, I always wore my skirts way to short, I use to love to sit in front of my school teacher with my legs spread wide so he could look up my school dress and see that I was not wearing any panties. I use to do that in all my classes including the classes I had with female teachers and it was surprising how many of my lady teachers kept dropping their pencils so that they would have to bend down to pick up the pencil so that they could look up my school dress and see my tight little Asian pussy all wet and moist just for them! On my website TeraLee.com this complete photo set with matching video is called Play School Honey;-)

JOHNSTOWN – Last Thursday, a family of five had to leave their home after it was severely damaged by a fire.
Johnstown-Milliken Fire Chief Ron Bateman said firefighters were called just after 5 a.m. May 9 because of smoke coming from a residence on Woodbine Lane in the Clearview neighborhood on the west side of town.
"They went into the attic and found heavy fire," Bateman said. "(Firefighters from) Milliken brought in a second-hand line and were able to get ahead of the fire."
Photo courtesy Milliken Elementary School
Classmate cheering section - We all would likely welcome having this kind of support and encouragement. May 9, the Weld County Special Olympics were held at Northridge High School in Greeley. Representing Milliken Elementary School were Logan Wheeler and Anya Wild (inset). The entire first-grade class at MES attended the event to cheer them on. The pair were also recognized May 8 at the Milliken Town Board meeting. Do you have a picture for Page 3? Items of interest for Around Town? Please submit them to email@example.com.

Following in the footsteps of his ancestors, this month's Johnstown-Milliken Rotary Student of the Month has definite plans for his future and that of the industry in which he is involved.
Tyler Bauer, 18, son of Michelle Dickinson and Scott Bauer, both of Loveland, will graduate with Roosevelt High School's Class of 2013 on May 26. He plans to attend Blinn College in Brenham, Texas, on a livestock judging scholarship, before transferring to Oklahoma State University, with plans for graduate studies in bovine reproduction and genetics at Kansas State University.
A student with a 3.5 grade-point average, Bauer was class president during his freshman, sophomore, and junior years and is currently Head Boy at Roosevelt, serving as Student Council co-president (with Head Girl Sami Oldson, the Rotary Student of the Month for January).

In the state lineup are seniors Hannah Eining (100-meter hurdles), Viktor Baeza (110 and 300 hurdles), Tanner Starr (pole vault), junior Keira Maldonado (pole vault), and freshman Jacob Bejarano (high jump).
There were hopes to have sent more to state, but with the provision that only the top 18 in each event advance, there's no more qualifying through league or regional championship meets.

Starr stars at 4A state meet
By Martin B. Hamilton/The Johnstown Breeze
LAKEWOOD – Way back on March 16, in the first meet of the track-and-field season, Tanner Starr stuck a result every other Class 4A pole vaulter had to aim for.
By clearing 14 feet, 6 inches, the Roosevelt High School senior not only won the title at the Windsor Invitational, he broke the school record and also set the bar at a height that put him atop the state's standings.
However, because of a triceps injury, Starr didn't compete again for several weeks. But his mark withstood the challenge for the duration of the season, and he entered the 2013 Colorado High School State Championships as the top-seeded pole vaulter in Class 4A.
Re-5J students to all get iPads
By Martin B. Hamilton/The Johnstown Breeze
No more lugging to and from school a backpack stuffed with heavy textbooks.
Within two years, every student in the Weld Re-5J School District will have an iPad.
That was the unanimous decision by the Board of Education at its May 8 meeting.
Through its "1:1 iPad Initiative," the district will supply students computer tablets in two waves. Each lightweight device will serve as a virtual backpack.
Pot shop moratorium OK'd till year's end
MILLIKEN- Aside from continued work regarding downtown, trustees approved other agenda items at last week's town board meeting.
They OK'd a temporary moratorium on the submission, acceptance, processing and approval of any application for a permit or license related to the C-5 zoned district.
The C-5 zone was established for medical marijuana facilities. The temporary moratorium runs to the end of the year. The question of such businesses has been further complicated with the passage of Amendment 64. The state has just finished establishing guidelines regarding issues related to its passage.

Jeff Monsein, aluminum baron of Durham, continues his reign of house replacement in Old West Durham with the demolition of 2700 Lawndale, seen above in 2006. I don't have any immediate history available on the house, but it was obviously an attractive little ~1900-1915 house. It appears none of the original mantels or other building materials were salvaged prior to demolition, an extraordinary waste.
It appears that the success story of John Martin renovating the former 1704 Markham Ave into a beautiful little house on Edith St. was not particularly persuasive as a reproducible model to Mr. Monsein. Unfortunate.

the network for radical unschooling families
We started unschooling almost two years ago now, after my son attended a few weeks of first grade in a local public school. Unschooling-- which my son describes to people as "not following a curriculum and just doing whatever we feel like--" been pretty awesome. Awesome for him, which I expected, but also for the whole family, often in ways I didn't expect.
So here's a random list of perks of being an unschooling parent:
1. Living with a happy confident child who loves life, loves learning, and makes no distinction between work and play.
2. Not having to pack 1330 school lunches over the next seven years. Also not having to pack a similar number of peanut free snacks. (If you think this is shallow and petty, okay, fine. Maybe it is. Or maybe you don't have kids. Regardless, I was more or less ecstatic when I realized I didn't have pack any more lunches. Ever. Again.)
3.Visiting parks, museums, art galleries and science centres during the school day when they are empty and quiet.A also people look at you and your child and say, "oh, you have the day off school! How nice!" Which makes me feel sort feel gleeful, like I am getting away with something.
4. Travelling outside of peak travel times. Everything is cheaper. And quieter.
5. Not having your life thrown into chaos by spring break. Of course, some might argue that our life sometimes seems to be pretty chaotic every day.
6. Finding out about totally cool things that it would never have occurred to you to be interested in. (I'd never even heard of plasma cutters until this year. Or magnetrons. Or gluons.)
7. Staying in your pyjamas all day if you want to.
8. Going to unschooling gatherings and meeting interesting, unconventional people who are passionate about learning.
9. Getting to learn and play and explore alongside your child... and having six extra hours to spend with your child every day. (Okay, I admit that this does not necessarily feel like a perk every single day. There was one morning last week, for instance... But those moments aside, I am so very grateful not to be missing out on all those hours. )
10. And finally—and this is huge-- rediscovering your own curiosity and love of learning. Turns out I am just as excited about exploring and discovering the world as my son is... And this unschooling journey has made me conscious of that in ways that I will always be grateful for.
How about you? If any unschooling parents are reading this, I'd love to hear what would make it on to your list...
Love these comments... thanks for adding to the list!
12. Not having to see your child sick to their stomach in the morning because of anxiety over being harassed at school. Instead, having the opportunity to explore the nearby creek or make armor and swords from cardboard boxes.(without being graded on the curve for their creative abilities)
Watching my daughter listen to the whispers of her own heart.
add to the list:
11. No longer joining in the conversation of other moms (homeschoolers) who are desperate to find ways to coerce their childern to study a particular subject and finish the ciriculum.

I've just "implemented" the EXT_swap_control extension. I set the "video frame period" with the wglSwapIntervalEXT(int interval) function.
My lcd-screen refresh rate is 60 Hz, or so says the property window.
If I pass an interval value of 0, I (indeed) get a fps of 500+ (no vsync). But passing 1 gives 120 (?). Passing 2 gives 60, passing 3 gives 40, passing 4 gives 20...
Why would passing an interval value of 1 give a fps result that doubles the monitor refresh rate?
I'm working on a MacBook Pro with XP32 under bootcamp. It has an nVidia 8600M GT videocard. But other computers give simular results. I have a standard double-buffered render loop:

A panel discussion ensued regarding the advantages and disadvantages of proton and carbon ion therapy. The most salient points are summarized below, followed by a description of specific questions that were raised and the discussion that followed each.
Proton therapy and carbon ion therapy are both forms of particle therapy that can be used to effectively treat tumors. Studies performed thus far have shown approximate equivalence of both modalities, although the studies are limited by comparison across multiple institutions and different patient populations. The following table summarizes the relative pros and cons of each modality.
Proton Beam Therapy |
Carbon Ion Therapy |
Proton Advantages over Carbon |
Carbon Advantages over Proton |
Similarities of Proton and Carbon |
Question 1: Do physical and biological differences between proton and carbon ions influence clinical results?
Answer 1 (Tsuboi): Biology does not sufficiently explain the differences between protons and carbon ions. Biologically, carbon ions have greater potential to cause greater DNA damage, i.e. a greater isoeffective dose. Isoeffective dose can be calculated by absorbed dose multiplied by the weighting factor, which includes radiation quality (linear energy transfer, LET, and relative biologic effect, RBE). Carbon ions are thought to cause less indirect effect (base damage) than protons; however, the double strand breaks may be increased. Therefore, the irreparable cluster damage may be greater with carbon, as well as apoptosis induction, and loss of clonogenicity. Overall, this may lead to greater tumor cell kill.
For skull base chordosomas and chondrosarcomas, results suggest similarity between treatment modalities. Overall survival is similar between fractionated RT, gamma knife, protons, and carbon, with survival approximately 74 to 88% at 5 years. There is, however, a suggestion that local control is higher with carbon at 73% at 5 years (DiMaio J Neurosurg 2011). Given that the patients were treated at different institutions and were different patient populations. Of note, this study excluded data from Massachusetts General Hospital and Paul Scherer Institute.
Continued questions about the biology of carbon ion therapy include optimizing the isoeffective dose and recalculating the quality of radiation based on what is known as microdosimetry. Future research directions include possibly deciding on the optimal ion based on alpha/beta values of the target and normal tissue.
Question 2: What is the radiobiologic effect (RBE) of proton vs. carbon ion therapy?
Answer 2 (Cho): Protons have a better dose distribution but a lower RBE (1.0-1.1) than carbon ions (RBE 1.5-3.4). However, RBE depends on many aspects of a delivery including radiation quality, LET, fraction size, and the biological aspects of the target. Uncertainty in the RBE can cause large variations in the actual delivered dose. While higher RBE is good for tumor control, it is bad for normal tissue toxicity. We learned this in the setting of neutron therapy (J Oral Maxillofacial Surg 2005) where the effects of normal tissues and variation of RBE were underestimated and there were many grade 3 and 4 toxicities.
The theoretical advantages of the carbon ion therapy have not been proven in the clinical setting. The uncertainties of RBE of the carbon beam can be a burden for physicians to make a clinical decision. Proton beam therapy has practical advantages including lower cost and precise geometric delivery of beams by using a gantry.
Counterpoint: The increased RBE with carbon ion therapy is seen in the Bragg peak itself, where the tumor is, and usually not in the lateral penumbra or areas of normal tissue.
Question 3: What is the role of carbon vs. proton for innovative clinical applications?
Answer 3 (Tsujii): Dose distribution may be better with carbon ion therapy, particularly if tumor sites that can be treated with fixed beam lines are compared. In addition, radiobiologic properties of carbon may improve local control of photon-resistant tumors. NIRS in Japan has extensive experience using carbon ion therapy for a wide range of malignancies. Examining carbon ion beam for hypofractionation in prostate cancer, the rates of GI and GU toxicity were very low. Over 1400 patients were treated to 66 GyE in 20 fractions with hormone therapy. Overall survival was found to be comparable to standard RTOG studies, although these are not identical patient populations. In addition, NIRS has treated patients with sarcoma with excellent local control and survival. The speaker states given the excellent local control, carbon ion therapy could theoretically replace surgical resection. NIRS has also started using carbon ion therapy for single fraction SBRT for stage I (T1-2) lung cancer with good early results. The discussants recommended a randomized clinical trial of carbon ion vs. proton therapy within Japan.
Question 4: What are the practical aspects of deciding whether to treat with proton or carbon?
Answer 4 (Hug): Many more patients have been treated with proton therapy (~95,000 patients) versus carbon ion therapy (~13,000 patients). Nonetheless, a greater percent of patients treated with carbon ion therapy have been treated on studies and reported in published manuscripts. All studies on both proton and carbon ion therapy are small and therefore difficult to compare. There are several sites that are suitable for randomized trials between proton and carbon. Sites should be chosen where the optimum treatment schema for both modalities has been established, not sites where the optimal treatment is debated.
Question 5: What is the role of randomized trials in proton and carbon ion therapy?
Answer 5 (DeLaney): Protons have a physical advantage over photons with a reduced integral dose by ~60%. Because the RBE is similar to photons, protons can be easily combined with photons in a course of treatment. While protons are accepted for pediatric patients, the role in the adult setting is more controversial due to the high cost of proton beam therapy. There are two ongoing randomized clinical trials of photon vs. proton therapy in the United Sates, one randomizing patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (MGH, MDACC); in this study, pneumonitis and local control are the primary endpoints. There is also a randomized trial of protons vs. IMRT for prostate cancer with the primary endpoint as EPIC bowel scores at 6 months (MGH, University of Pennsylvania).
One argument for both proton and carbon ion therapy is a reduction in secondary tumors over photon therapy. However, it may not be possible to perform a randomized trial to determine this answer as very large numbers of patients would be needed. Assuming a 60% decrease in 0.5% incidence of secondary malignancies at 15 years, approximately 6000 patients in each arm would be needed. In Ewing's sarcoma, where the absolute rate of secondary malignancies is more common, approximately 600 patients would be needed in each arm to demonstrate a decreased risk in proton vs. photon. This likely is not a practical study to perform prospectively, although a retrospective, multi-institutional study could be performed to compare the rates of secondary malignancies in Ewing's sarcoma with proton vs. photon therapy.
Randomized trials comparing proton and carbon ion therapy are possible, and, as further discussed, ongoing in Europe. In addition, it may be feasible to design a trial randomizing patients to a carbon ion boost.
Question 6: What is the state of randomized trials in particle therapy at the University of Heidelberg?
Answer 5 (Combs): There are currently two phase III randomized trials of proton vs. photon at HIT, one for chondrosarcoma and one for chordomas. Both of these trials are designed as non-inferiority trials. There is also the CLEOPATRA trial which includes GBM patients randomized to a standard arm of proton beam therapy of 60 Gy in 5 fractions versus 6 fractions of carbon ion therapy to the macroscopic tumor of T1-contrast enhancement. There is also a randomized trial of carbon ion radiotherapy versus stereotactic radiotherapy in recurrent GBMs (over 400 patients). The first part of the study will be a phase I dose escalation carbon ion therapy study with 10 Gy (RBE) x 3 fractions or 16 Gy (RBE) x 3 fractions. The winner of that arm will then be randomized against fractionated stereotactic RT to 36 Gy in 2 Gy fractions. Primary outcome will be overall survival. The IPI trial will look at low risk prostate cancer and randomize to protons (20 fractions x 3.3 Gy (RBE)) versus carbon ion (20 fractions x 3.3 Gy (RBE)). Primary endpoint will be toxicity. The PINOCCHIO trial will randomize proton and carbon ion therapy in skull base meningiomas with a primary endpoint of toxicity. This trial will also include a standard fractionation photon arm and a hypofractionated photon arm.

Delays on I-5 near La Center expected Tuesday
Monday, November 5, 2012
Drivers should expect long delays Tuesday north of La Center on Interstate 5.
Crews with the Washington State Department of Transportation will close the left and center lanes of southbound I-5 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to repair nearly one mile of rutted and potholed pavement.
Double-lane closures on southbound I-5 between the East Fork Lewis River Bridge and the La Center exit originally planned for today were rescheduled due to weather.
Officials say drivers can expect long delays during this work, and should give themselves extra time to reach their destinations.

How many megatons was the chixculub meteor impact equal to?
How many megatons was the pre-historic chixculub meteor impact equal to?
This was estimated to be millions of times more powerful than the cumulative explosive power of all of the nuclear weapons in the world combined. It caused the extinction of most life on Earth during that time (namely the dinosaurs) and even caused the oceans to evaporate. This meteor was about 6 miles in diameter. If a 6-mile meteor is capable of doing that, imagine the kind of damage an asteroid the size of Texas could do. |

Apparently Mars was hit by a Texas-sized asteroid several billion years ago.. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/20...-dynamo-death/ |

Only in mediocre music-video-movies.
The largest near earth asteroid (ie, in the asteroid belt) is much smaller, at 34 km: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/433_Eros But other objects from the outer solar system can be much, much larger. Eris, for example, is more than 2000 km in diameter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eris_(dwarf_planet) |

Somehow, the planet survived, and the fractured pieces of crust is what eventually formed the moon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_impact_hypothesis |

One megaton is about 5x1015 Joules. The energy in Joules of the impact will be [itex]\frac{mv^2}{2}[/itex] where v is in meters/sec and m is in kilograms. Make some reasonable assumptions about the size, density, and speed of the meteor, and see what you come up with. |

Isn't there a simple equation relating crater size to kilotons?
