Genesis of American Guitar to be Explored in Metropolitan Museum's New Exhibition
Exhibition dates:January 14-December 7, 2014 Location: The André Mertens Galleries for Musical Instruments, Gallery 684 Press Preview: Monday, January 13, 10:00 a.m. - Noon
New York, New York - Thirty-five rare guitars that illustrate the early history of the instrument in America will go on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, beginning January 14. Drawn from the Museum's own holdings as well as from the Martin Guitar Museum in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and several private collections, Early American Guitars: The Instruments of C. F. Martin will trace the birth of the American guitar by shedding light on the contributions of Christian Frederick Martin, a German immigrant who invented a uniquely American form of the guitar in the first half of the 19th century. The exhibition will highlight the largest collection of instruments by this renowned maker ever to be displayed publicly, including the earliest known guitar signed by Martin, the earliest established guitar with his famed X-braced construction, and several extraordinary decorated examples of his work. Also on view will be a 1939 guitar made by Martin Guitar that was played by Eric Clapton on MTV's Unplugged series in 1992, representing the long trajectory of guitar building by the company founded by Christian Frederick Martin. The exhibition is made possible by The Martin Guitar Company. The exhibition draws from recent research that establishes the influence that Spanish guitars from the region of Andalusia had on Martin, who was trained in the Viennese school of instrument building. Martin used elements from both traditions to develop his own model that constituted a distinctly American style of building guitars. Included in the exhibition will be guitars from the Austro-German and Spanish guitar makers who influenced Martin's designs, as well as comparative examples by American makers who were contemporaries of Martin. Early American Guitars: The Instruments of C. F. Martin coincides with the publication of this new information in the book Inventing the American Guitar. Born in 1796 to a cabinet maker in Markneukirchen, Saxony, Christian Frederick Martin learned to build guitars in the style of Johann Georg Stauffer in Vienna. Due to the restrictive guilds in Markneukirchen, Martin left his country in 1833 and settled first in New York City, then moved to Nazareth, Pennsylvania. In the United States, he encountered the Spanish-style guitar of the type that was made in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia. In a remarkable period of about 20 years, Martin went from building guitars in the Viennese tradition to encountering and copying Spanish-style guitars, to developing an original design that borrowed from both traditions and ultimately set a course for all American guitar-making that followed. In addition to his legacy as a craftsman, C. F. Martin also founded a guitar company in Nazareth that continues to be family-owned today. The company has been one of the most influential firms in American music for 180 years.

MLB All-Star Game apples hit New York City
In celebration of the 2013 All-Star Game at Citi Field, Major League Baseball is bringing back an old fan favorite -- the All-Star apples.
Here's the deal: There are 35 apples -- 30 team-specific apples, one All-Star Game apple, one American League apple, one National League apple, a Brooklyn Dodgers apple and a New York Giants apple -- located at various landmarks throughout New York City.
It's not the first time that baseball has done this All-Star promotion. The apples graced New York City in 2008, when the Yankees hosted the All-Star Game.
We at Newsday have decided to save you the time searching for each apple. That's why we created a handy interactive map of where each All-Star apple is located, with cross streets and the corresponding landmark.
But it doesn't stop there. Find your favorite team's apple, take an Instagram picture and add the hashtag #ndallstar to see your photo appear in our All-Star Game apple photo gallery.
Happy hunting!

How to Talk to Your Kids About the News
Use these smart strategies to discuss current events with your tweens and teens.
Crime. Recession. Terrorism. Tsunamis. In our digital age, the news—much of it big, scary and confusing—is everywhere, all the time. And whether it's on television or radio, in print or online, tweens and teens are constantly exposed to disturbing stories, images and videos that can cause them to view the planet as a threatening, terrifying place. "On the one hand, we want our kids to know what's going on around them," says Michael Brody, M.D., chair of the television and media committee for the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. "Problem is, the news is not rated. A lot of it is sensational, horror-story stuff, which means parents need to put things in perspective." Learn how to talk to your kids about current events, from natural disasters to politics to war, with these smart strategies. You'll calm their fears and help them make better sense of those screaming headlines. Plus, it's a starting point for a deeper, ongoing dialogue that will expand their minds and get them thinking about their role and responsibility in the real world.
Find an Opening
It may seem obvious, but you can't discuss the news with your kids until you're aware of exactly what they know. So the next time your tween or teen mentions a particular topic or event—at dinner, in the car, while watching TV—seize the moment and ask casually what she's heard about it. If need be, you can also initiate a conversation by saying something like "There's been a lot of coverage about those campus shootings. Are kids at school talking about it?"
Expressing an interest in what her friends are thinking is a good way to get her to open up, since adolescents are more likely to share thoughts and ideas that they've already discussed with peers. But don't be impatient if your child seems tight-lipped or flippant. "Sometimes teens don't ask questions—or they crack jokes about serious issues—because they're struggling with intense emotions like anger, anxiety or sadness but can't identify them," says Ernestine Briggs-King, Ph.D., a director at the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress at Duke University. Parents, she suggests, can help kids sort things out by making supportive, encouraging comments such as "You keep bringing that subject up. How is it making you feel?"
Keep It Simple
Once you start talking, let your child determine the scope of the conversation. "When it comes to the news, the biggest mistake parents make is telling kids too much," says Brody. Teens, of course, are able to understand cause and effect, abstract ideas, and concepts like unpredictability and injustice, but too many specifics can overwhelm them. "It's like being on the witness stand in a trial," says Brody. "Don't blow your case by introducing things not in evidence. Just answer the questions."
If, for example, your son asks why everyone has to get a full-body screening at the airport, a short reply ("the government wants to keep everybody safe") will do. "Any more information—saying that someone could be carrying a gun, or there might be a terrorist with hidden explosives—would only frighten him needlessly," says Brody. Inquiring minds, however, may want to know more ("Could a water bottle really blow up a plane?" "Has that happened before?"). In that case, don't hesitate to respond, but stick to the facts (if you don't know them all, it's fine to say so) and adjust your answers to your child's level of understanding and interest.
Comfort As Needed
As sophisticated and tough as they may seem, today's kids are vulnerable—after all, they've grown up in a high-risk world where the threat of terrorism makes daily headlines. As a result, events like earthquakes, civil unrest or even soccer riots can trigger anxiety and unconscious fears. "In a tween's mind, something terrible happening across the globe could just as easily happen across the street," says Ted Lempert, president of Children Now, a California-based youth advocacy organization. Teens also still relate to the news, no matter where it occurs, in a personalized way. Kids who read about the war in Afghanistan, for example, might be concerned about its effects on people they know, or what the conflict means for their own future.
Encourage your child to talk about what upsets her. Acknowledge her feelings, and reassure her by sharing your own ("I'm also sad those people were hurt"). Be compassionate and calm, since kids look to parents for a reaction and will pick up on any anxiety. Above all, be honest. Point out that events like natural disasters can't be controlled. When discussing topics like crime and violence, don't say the world is perfectly safe, but do remind her of the steps people are taking to make it better. And sometimes kids just need you to help them pull back and put things in context. "Telling them that their chances of being affected by terrorism are about one in a zillion will mean nothing, but a statement such as 'A person is way more likely to be hurt in a car accident than by a terrorist attack' might actually lodge in a growing brain," says Lempert. "This approach accomplishes two things. First, it makes them think, Geez, I ride around in a car all the time and nothing bad usually happens. And second, Wow—I better be more careful driving."
Clear Up Confusion
When a major event happens, it's all too easy for kids to get the story wrong. They might hear half-truths from friends, glimpse a misleading headline or catch only the most sensationalist teaser on TV—and then start spreading the news. "Super-scary stories have enormous traction among tweens and teens because they're at an age when emotions are highly contagious," says psychologist Dave Walsh, Ph.D., author of (Free Press).
You can help prevent misconceptions by monitoring your kids' exposure to the headlines. Share the morning paper with them over breakfast, listen to informative programs on the radio or watch them together on TV. "But don't just come home and turn on the news, especially when a crisis has occurred," says Brody. That's when grim, often violent footage is replayed in a seemingly endless loop, and adolescents can develop an excessive fascination even though it scares them.
Walsh recommends that parents battle back with their kids' favorite tool—the Internet. "Tell your middle or high schooler to look up multiple sources of the story. Ask him to compare the conflicting information that is sure to come up, which version he decides to believe, and how he reached that conclusion," Walsh says. "That will spark a genuine conversation instead of shutting it down, which is often what happens when a parent says, 'Let's talk about so-and-so.'" From there you can broaden the lesson into one about the role and responsibility of news organizations. "Explain that media outlets want to grab our attention," says Walsh. "That's why they'll run a story about an abducted child over and over—it's an extraordinarily rare crime, but it's everyone's worst nightmare. Eventually kids will learn how to figure out the big picture and get to the truth of a story themselves. It's a golden opportunity."
Take Action
When you think about it, kids find the news distressing for the same reasons adults do—a sense of helplessness in the face of suffering, and the feeling that so much in the world is beyond our control. Talking to your teens about underlying causes, the inevitability of conflict and natural disasters, and the resilience of the human spirit can ease their anxiety, but sometimes that can all feel terribly inadequate. "Fact is, news about bad stuff of any kind, no matter how far away, is unsettling," says Briggs-King. "But it's also true that kids feel better about themselves when they try to improve things."
Parents can help by suggesting ways their kids can step up, whether it's going green to combat global warming, sending relief supplies for victims of floods or quakes, or honoring those who've sacrificed their lives. "You can do a bake sale to support our troops abroad or round up toys for the children of military families," Briggs-King says. "It doesn't have to be big. Just doing something is tremendously empowering and helps kids feel more secure."
If you show empathy and encourage your kids to do the same, you'll both reap the benefits. "When it comes to talking about current events, what parents seem to want to do most is share their values," says Walsh. "It's not about forcing their beliefs on their children. They just want to get across why they think and feel the way they do. This is a chance to do that, and show them the ways all of us, no matter how scary the news, can make a difference."

Special needs not a disability for cafe worker
Best Buddies participant Peter Filosa follows his passions from sports to advocacy to meeting his heroes
Few people have had the chance to be featured on television numerous times, pitch at Fenway Park, act alongside Adam Sandler, introduce their state senator at his victory party, be close friends with a national heavyweight boxer, compete in multiple sports and also be involved with the student population of both Boston and Brandeis universities.
Peter Michael Filosa, an employee with special needs at Usdan Café (more popularly known as Lower Usdan), has been busy juggling all of these activities, participating in each with tireless passion.
Filosa has thrown the ceremonial first pitch for approximately 10 different baseball teams in the minor leagues, the Cape Cod League and the Boston Red Sox.
It all began with his love for baseball, which led him to write the Red Sox a letter.
Former Red Sox catcher "Doug Mirabelli was my personal catcher at the time and ever since then I've been going from team to team and doing what I love – being on a real pitcher's mound, being able to throw pitches, and being able to play baseball on a real field," Filosa says. Having already thrown for teams like the North Shore Pride, the Manchester FisherCats, the Portland Sea Dogs, he next intends to write the Toronto Blue Jays and Colorado Rockies to throw for them as well.
He proudly displays a ball in a glass case. He calls it his "legendary ball" because it's a souvenir of his Fenway Park experience – despite his dissatisfaction with the recent trade that moved some key players from the Red Sox to Los Angeles.
Baseball is just one of Filosa's many sports.
"My favorite sport is hockey. I play for a special-needs hockey team called the East Coast Jumbos and I love getting back on the ice to get ready for hockey season," he says. "I play Special Olympics soccer. I play basketball for the Special Olympics – I play for the Newton Celtics."
Filosa loves professional wrestling the most though, and recently received free tickets to see WWE Smackdown in the lower sections. "I love professional wrestling. I live and breathe it," he says. "I like the Undertaker, the man from Death Valley. I'm going to be wearing his costume for Halloween."
As much as he likes watching wrestling however, he wants to become an actor some day. "Two summers ago, I did a movie called 'Grown Ups', a movie directed by Adam Sandler. I was the guy who was sitting right behind Adam Sandler in the restaurant scene when he was yelling at the food guy. You can see my mom turns her head to look at the argument," he recalls.
"I did a Mark Wahlberg film called 'The Fighter' and I was sitting high up in the audience for the fight scenes and I had to do some pretend-cheering like this," he says, pumping his fist. "Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are planning to do a movie together in Boston next summer with their company called 'Pearl Street Productions' and I hope to do some more background extra work in the upcoming years and during the summer months."
Filosa has been employed at Brandeis for the past four years and has been actively involved with the students.
"At Christmas I get dressed up for the Brandeis holiday party," he says. "I go as Santa Claus and I have a brand new Santa Claus suit that I just got a couple months ago from the Hope Chest in Millis, Mass."
He also is involved with Brandeis Buddies, an organization from the Waltham Group that builds friendships between students and adults with developmental disabilities. "My Brandeis Buddy – her name is Elizabeth – and my other buddy Michelle, are two of my favorite people," he confides. "I like Brandeis Buddies very much."
Brandeis Buddies Co-Coordinator Elizabeth Fields '13 met Filosa in her first year and is a good friend of his.
"Peter is an extremely caring and warm person. He is very outgoing," says Fields. "One of my fondest memories of Peter was his dressing up for our holiday party. We were all in the room waiting for him to arrive and in walked Peter in a full Santa Clause costume complete with a white beard! He brought a smile to everyone's face."
Filosa is involved with a similar program called BU Best Buddies, sponsored by Boston University, and has become co-buddy director of that program this year. The premise of building friendships between students and adults is the same, but missing the BU program is more individualized than the Brandeis program.
His leadership roles don't stop there. Filosa was elected this year to a three-year term on the MASS Advocates Standing Strong board and is also a part of the Watch City Self-Advocates in Waltham. He visits Watertown and Whitinsville for meetings in regards to these programs every month.
Filosa has also met with many celebrities. He has held signs for Denise Garlick, state representative of Dover, Needham, and Medfield, and will be holding signs for Joseph Kennedy III this November. He and Garlick met at Camp Arrowhead when Filosa was only six years old and Garlick was camp nurse. They have become close friends since her campaign.
One of his best friends happens to be Peter McNeeley of Medfield, a heavyweight boxer and winner of the USBF Championship in 1995. Filosa was at an event a few months ago where "He was there signing autographs. So I went up to him and he said, 'Hey, is that Peter Filosa?' and I said, 'Yeah!' So Peter 'The Hurricane' McNeeley remembered me right off the bat and gave me a big hug and I told him how happy I was to see him again."
Filosa has also had his voice air on national television through an on-show interview for the "X Factor" and met with The Fray, a popular band.
Whether competing in sports or speaking with state politicians, Filosa manages to do it all with a smile on his face.
"I'm known now as the local legend from Medfield, Mass. – Mr. Peter Filosa," he says. "I am the one and the only local legend. I hope that all the students at Brandeis will now know the local legend. And if anybody wants it, I'll give out free autographs!"

New split leaves in doubt future of U.S.-allied 'moderate' rebels in Syria
In a mutiny against U.S.-backed civilian leadership, ground commanders of Syria's moderate rebel forces Wednesday rejected the appointment of a new chief of staff for the rebels' Supreme Military Command and said they will take orders only from the ousted chief, Salim Idriss.
Idriss, who once was hailed by U.S. officials as "a key component of the future of the Syrian opposition," appeared to be fomenting the revolt, issuing a statement on YouTube in which he rejected his dismissal in favor of a little known commander from southern Syria.
Flanked by more than a dozen regional military leaders, Idriss also declared that the ground commanders intended to "dissolve" their relationship with Asaad Moustafa, who holds the title of minister of defense in the rebels' interim government. It was Moustafa, they claimed, who'd recommended the selection of Brig. Gen. Abdul-Ilah al Bashir as the new chief.
As for the Supreme Military Council, the body Idriss once headed and that endorsed Moustafa's recommendation, "We will have nothing to do with their decisions," Idriss said.
The Supreme Military Council responded Wednesday night that it would reorganize the Free Syrian Army. It called on all forces to "abide by the legitimate instructions of the Syrian revolution." Their statement was endorsed by Ahmed Jarba, the head of the Syrian Opposition Coalition, Moustafa and al Bashir.
The rebellion-within-the-rebellion couldn't have come at a worse time for the Free Syrian Army. The Syrian army is pressing an aggressive military campaign against rebel-held neighborhoods in Aleppo, including the use of improvised explosives known as barrel bombs, while reaching cease-fire agreements with rebel leaders in besieged towns near Damascus that some say are tantamount to rebel surrenders.
Such an agreement was reached this week in Babila, south of Damascus, where Youssef Albostany, the spokesman for the anti-government Local Coordination Committee, said pro-Assad soldiers now are manning checkpoints in the town, in exchange for allowing civilians to leave after a yearlong siege. He said some FSA forces have refused to lay down their arms and that fighting is continuing between them and pro-Assad groups.
A similar deal appears to have been struck in the Yarmouk neighborhood of Damascus, where forces from al Qaida's Syria affiliate, the Nusra Front, on Tuesday pulled out from positions it had held for more than a year. After Nusra's departure, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency was able to resume food deliveries to the area, which once held 160,000 people but is now home to an estimated 18,000.
Meanwhile, another al Qaida-inspired group, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, appeared to be making a comeback in northern Syria, forcing the closure of at least one border crossing to Turkey and marshaling tanks and artillery for an attack on Tal Rifat, a Free Syrian Army-held town north of Aleppo.
Shipments of arms and ammunition for fighters and relief aid for millions of homeless Syrians have ground to a halt after ISIS forces captured a village less than a mile from the Bab al Salaam border crossing and then fired a mortar into the crossing itself.
Another important border crossing, between Reyhanli, Turkey, and Bab al Hawa, Syria, has been closed since the weekend after an Islamist rebel faction, Ahrar al Sham, clashed with armed squatters who've reputedly been robbing aid convoys into Syria.
The Free Syrian Army has long been eclipsed by the better armed and financed Islamist groups, but the split now over Idriss' leadership presents a tremendous challenge both to Jarba and to the major foreign supporters of the opposition. They include Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which supply arms and ammunition, and the United States and Britain, which have furnished non-lethal aid.
There were now two competing military staffs, according to a Free Syrian Army military leader who backs the commanders' uprising. "The politicians have organized their general staff," said Hamza al Shemali, referring to Jarba. "The rebels are organizing their own staff. The days ahead will show who is the real general staff."
Shemali, who commands the Hazem Movement, which includes several major Free Syrian Army groups, told McClatchy the aim of the rebellion is to force the resignation of both Jarba and Defense Minister Moustafa.
But he declined to call the action a coup. "Everything in Syria needs new terminology," he told McClatchy. "This is a revolutionary military group."
It wasn't clear where the breakaway forces would obtain their arms in the future. Shemali said the ground commanders understood that the U.S. had now decided to start sending lethal aid. But the understanding was based on a news story that ran during the first round of peace talks in Geneva, not on any decision by the Obama administration.
It is an open question whether the U.S. or other countries will send support to commanders who don't acknowledge civilian control.
Shemali said that did not matter. "If things don't go the right way, they will have made a try," he said, referring to Idriss and the commanders. "At least for now, they say they will not accept people imposed on them."

A Birth-Control Comeback: The IUD
A Device More Effective Than Birth-Control Pills Seeks a New Market
The IUD is making a comeback more than 30 years after a generation of women was scared away from the birth-control device by the faulty Dalkon Shield.
This year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals' Skyla, the first new intrauterine device on the market in 13 years. Planned Parenthood has launched a nationwide campaign in its clinics promoting a copper IUD as the most effective form of emergency contraception. And in New Orleans, three-year-old startup Bioceptive Inc. is engineering...

Jenny is in perpetual search for easy, weeknight recipes to attempt to feed her family. When they balk, she just eats more.
I feel it is very important for you not to feel prejudiced against pasta just because it resembles the slug at the bottom of a Mezcal bottle and has a name that makes you think of odors.
Those were my original issues with Maloreddus with Anchovies, Orange, and Malvasia and had I stayed so inexplicably prejudiced I might have become the subject of a Supreme Court case! Or just remained hungry.
The thing is, I couldn't actually find maloreddus or malvasia, but that did not stop me from making this incredibly simple and weirdly exciting dish.
Let me tell you, I made the effort people! I went to the local Italian grocery store, which I emerged from carrying a bag of pasta that was literally as tall as my 8-year-old, a ton of delicious anchovies and gnocchetti rustici, which the storekeeper recommended as the best possible substitute for maloreddus, pasta from Sardinia fashioned from Semolina Flour. The FOOD52 team ended up using fusili, which we won't hold against them (but this is what the pasta should look like).
My first tip: do not be fooled by the tiny small size of this pasta. It takes a solid ten minutes to cook, and undercooking it will leave you with a hard slightly unpleasant center. Get that water boiling right away, as you cut up your anchovies, onions, garlic, and zest that orange. A cup of pasta for four seemed too little for my family; I upped the pasta to about a cup and half, and added an extra anchovy or two to the sauce, but that's because I am aggressive with my bottom feeding fish.
While all your stuff comes together in the sauce pan, you will slowly add some pasta water while you wait for those wormy guys too cook up. I put up some nice asparagus from the market as a side, even though I understand perfectly well that is not really done. I deglazed my pan with the orange juice and a sauvignon blanc, though if you can get a dessert wine I do recommend it.
When your pasta is finally cooked, you toss it in your sauce, slicking it all up and making sure to get those lovely bits of onions. I do agree with Meatballs&Milkshakes that you need to top this with the best olive oil you have. How about fruity and sweet Sicilian oil? No? Give it the best you've got. Careful with your orange zest – it quickly becomes the star of this dish if you use a heavy hand, kind of like Jenna pushing Liz Lemon out of the scene.
I never thought about anchovies with orange. Why is that? Is it because I spend most of my time holed up in my DC kitchen thinking about new ways to perfect a chocolate chip cookie? I don't know really, but this dish is going into the rotation. In a pinch, I'll use fusilli.

Lightning is one of nature's most spectacular phenomenon. I seek to document lightning's beauty, power, and fierocity using an array of optical and electromagnetic sensors in hopes of better understanding its behavior. Since 2007, I have used high-speed cameras capable of recording lightning at up to 100,000 images per second. These cameras enable us to see lightning like never before as we can clearly watch lightning propagate downward from the clouds or upward from tall objects.

A vehicle is struck by lightning while driving 75 mph on I-90 east of Rapid City, SD on 9/11/09. The 20 second exposure from a digital still camera shows the moment when the bright return stroke illuminated the vehicle and water spray kicked up from the rain-soaked road. The bright lines from the wheel wells shows that the current from the lightning strike arced to ground from the vehicle rims.

The brake system is a critical part of any vehicle and its failure could endanger passenger safety. Brake performance must be guaranteed with extensive testing under extreme conditions. Brake system design needs to be highly optimized to prevent the disc from overheating, which reduces braking efficiency or could lead to complete system failure. Aerodynamic cooling of the brake disc through convection is the key mechanism for maintaining the brake within acceptable operational temperature levels. You can apply additional cooling devices like brake air ducts to provide more cooling airflow to the disc, but these add to vehicle weight, increase aerodynamic drag, and increase both production and consumer costs. Moreover, brake operation is increasingly controlled through regulations that call for prediction of performance over a standard brake duty cycle. Manufacturers must be able to accurately predict brake performance at an early development phase to avoid expensive overdesign or late-stage design changes, and to reduce or eliminate expensive prototype testing.
Accurate testing of brake system performance traditionally requires a physical prototype for conducting extensive road or wind tunnel tests. In these tests, the brake disc is heated by braking through single or multiple braking cycles to a high temperature level. The subsequent cool-down time is measured. If the maximum temperature level exceeds the allowed range or the cooling rate is not sufficient, aerodynamic changes are the main option to improve the cooling performance. This kind of physical testing can only be done in a late design stage when a prototype exists. In earlier design stages, the brake disc can be tested on a test bench only, but this is not representative of the actual vehicle. The brake system operates in an environment with extremely complex turbulent flow, with interaction between underbody, underhood flows, and rotating wheels. Visualizing and understanding this complex flow in detail is essential in order to assess adjustments to the geometry of the brake system — but this is virtually impossible to do with any kind of physical testing. Clearly, brake cooling must be analyzed with a simulation tool early in the design cycle.
Brake disks get very hot quickly, and their temperature is a function of the complex interaction between conduction, radiation, and convective cooling to the surrounding air. Any simulation must be able to accurately predict this interaction in an easy to use way. Furthermore, the all-important cooldown is, by definition, a transient problem occurring on a longer timescale than most fluid simulation tools can handle.
SIMULIA provides a solution to accurately predict thermal brake performance under extreme testing conditions in an early design phase. SIMULIA PowerFLOW's unique, inherently transient Lattice Boltzmann-based physics enables it to perform simulations that accurately predict real-world transient conditions on the most complex geometry. SIMULIA PowerTHERM is a fully coupled, highly accurate, transient conduction and radiation solver. The combination of PowerFLOW and PowerTHERM provides a complete thermal analysis, including all three heat transfer modes, and enables you to accurately predict temperatures and visualize the flow and temperature fields for the brake system. This enables you to not only identify problem areas, but to provide design recommendations that eliminate problems. Rapid turnaround time for model setup, simulation, visualization, and design modification enables you to quickly make design changes to the baseline and evaluate the improvements in brake performance.
PowerTHERM can be used for long transients on the order of minutes or hours. It can also be used standalone for quick design iterations such as evaluation of additional thermal isolation. Detailed best practice methodology for brake cooling simulation is available.
Using SIMULIA's solution for brake cooling simulations, you can:
- Accurately predict brake disc temperature rise over multiple braking cycles and the cool-down rate early in the design cycle.
- Reduce or eliminate expensive physical brake cooling tests and prototypes.
- Efficiently optimize the design with intelligent geometric modifications, preventing overdesign or unnecessary measures that increase drag, and production and customer costs.
- Perform rapid design for a wide range of vehicle operating conditions and braking cycles.

Shrimp Pasta with Broccoli Pesto + Cuisinart Food Processor GIVEAWAY
Do you all sing in the kitchen?
Um, I definitely do. Constantly. (I mean, I named this blog after a song, didn't I??)
Most of the time I'm jamming out to whatever is on Spotify. Or watching Hulu and shedding a few tears to the Parenthood soundtrack (best tv soundtrack ever), or crossing my fingers to hear a Gunnar and Scarlett duet on Nashville (or the ridiculously talented Stella sisters), or feeling All The Feelings with those magical first few notes to the Friday Night Lights theme song (because who doesn't want to hang out in the kitchen with Tim Riggins).
But when I was choppin' broccoli over the weekend for this shrimp pasta with broccoli pesto, I have to confess…
…it was all Dana Carvey in my kitchen, all the way.
Really, let's be honest, choppin' broccoli will always = Dana. Just like banana pancakes = Jack Johnson. And peaches = The Presidents Who Have Way Too Long Of A Name. And cheeseburgers = Jimmy Buffet. (Time for me to write my ode to egg drop soup…) Today, though, I have a new use for choppin' broccoli that I think would make Dana proud. Broccoli pesto.
I was craving pesto this weekend, but basil season is over here and I was wanting to try something new. So I peeked at my friend Kathryne's October Produce Guide and was reminded that these miniature green trees (as I like to think of them) are in season. And then the idea occurred to me — why not toss it into a food processor and make a broccoli pesto?! I had recently been challenged by my friends at EatShrimp to come up with a new shrimp pasta recipe. So since one of my all-time favorite entrees to make is shrimp pasta with pesto (like my Blackened Shrimp with Asparagus-Spinach Pesto recipe), I thought this might be a perfect way to experiment with broccoli pesto.
They had also recently sent me a new Cuisinart Elemental 8-Cup Food Processor to test out before I gave one away on the blog, and I'm happy to say that it pesto-ed the heck out of this broccoli like a charm. I decided to go somewhat classic with the pesto ingredients, adding in fresh broccoli (that I had pre-cooked for about 3 minutes), garlic, toasted pine nuts, freshly-grated Parmesan, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
And then I pureed it into a slightly-chunky pesto. You can make yours completely smooth if you want, but I liked having it just a little chunky in honor of all that broccoli.
Then I tossed it with some simple sauteed shrimp, whole wheat pasta, and then sprinkled on some crushed red pepper, extra pine nuts and parmesan.
And a delicious, seasonal, and very green dinner was served. I had a few friends over for a little pasta party to sample the recipe and get their honest thoughts on the broccoli pesto. And they were big fans! Granted, they all liked broccoli. And this pesto definitely tastes like broccoli. So if you're trying to sneak it past some picky eating kids, there's a good chance they will spy with their little eyes that there is some floret-action happening. But if you're a broccoli-"appreciater" or a broccoli-mega-fan, I'm pretty sure you will completely enjoy this one. The lemon and Parmesan really help to balance and bring out the flavor of the broccoli, and the result is a delicious and hearty pesto that are packed with all of the good-for-you-ness of broccoli. And I must say, the shrimp on top absolutely make the meal. I sprinkled my shrimp with a little extra Parmesan before serving, but frankly I loved how their simple flavor came through just seasoned with salt and pepper in this recipe. The pesto is already full of some strong and complex flavors, so I thought the pairing was perfect.

And also be sure to also scroll below to enter our sweet giveaway below for a chance to win a new Cuisinart food processor of your own. So tap into your inner Dana Carvey and get to choppin' some broccoli, friends!
Shrimp Pasta with Broccoli Pesto
This shrimp pasta recipe is simple to make, and tossed with the most delicious broccoli pesto recipe!
Pasta Ingredients:
- 1 lb. (16 oz.) dried pasta (I used DeLallo whole wheat)
- salt and pepper
- 1 lb. jumbo raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
- optional toppings: crushed red pepper flakes, extra freshly-grated Parmesan, extra pine nuts
- broccoli pesto (see ingredients below)
Broccoli Pesto Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 1 bunch or 1 pound)
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
To Make The Pasta:
Cook the pasta in a large pot of generously-salted boiling water al dente according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, season the shrimp on both sides with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add shrimp and saute for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through and pink and no longer translucent. Turn off the heat, and transfer shrimp to a separate plate and set aside.
When the pasta is al dente, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water and then drain the pasta. Return the pasta either to the stockpot where it was cooked, or to the saute pan (with the stove heat turned off). Add the pesto to the pasta, and toss until evenly coated, adding in a bit of the reserved pasta water if needed to thin the pesto. Then stir in the shrimp and pine nuts, and serve immediately sprinkled with optional toppings if desired.
To Make The Pesto:
Fill a separate large saucepan or stockpot with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and tender. Remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon and transfer to the bowl of the food processor fitted with the blade attachment..
Add the garlic, Parmesan, pine nuts, lemon juice and salt to the food processor, and process until combined. Then, with the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until it is incorporated. As mentioned above, if the pesto seems too thick, you can add in a bit of pasta water to thin it out once the pesto is tossed with the pasta.
If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #gimmesomeoven. I'd love to see what you cook!

For example, experience has shown that in the majority of cases where a Multicon is returned to us for repair, better care and regular maintenance might have prevented it from malfunctioning.
For this reason, DESIGN offers a comprehensive range of cleansers that makes caring for your equipment easier, and thus prolongs its life.
Over and above this, DESIGNA's original accessories also include a large range of tickets and season parker cards. These can be custom-printed according to the wishes of our customer with their own logo or special offers so that they can be used as advertising materials for either themselves or other companies.
In principle we recommend to our customers that they use DESIGNA original accessories, as these are carefully tested by us according to strict specifications with regard to compatibility and use.
As it is not currently possible to order our consumable products online, please use this form to send us your order. We will contact you by return to provide you with our quotation.

What's new - Jan 2003
|More Nits
|A typo on the Type 11 specs page is fixed thanks to "Metrion Cascade",A typo on the TOS ep guides has been fixed thanks to Mr Felmar. The date forNemesis has been moved forward a year to fifteen years after Encounter atFarpoint - Kyle Hill pointed this out and gave a stardate of 56844.1 for themovie, and I had thought he was mistaken because the script says 14 years.After another Nemesis viewing it turns out the script and I were wrong andKyle right.
|Episode Guide
|Since I don't have Sky, and my usual source doesn't have it either at themoment, I have to go through a somewhat long-winded process to get hold ofthe new episodes of Enterprise. So the reviews are going to be a bit sporadicfor a while. The first three episodes have now gone up, but there is an oddityhere because Sky has held back one of the episodes for some reason, so I'mstill missing Carbon Creek. As a result the episode numbering and suchlikeis going to be off for a while.
I've also added a new section to the ST II review talking about the specialedition DVD. It's not quite up to the TMP release, but it's pretty good.
|Amazingly, I never realised that we had a battles section which lacked oneof the all time great battles in Trek - the ones between the Enterprise andReliant in Star Trek II! So a page goes up on this in the battles section,with lots of lovely scans from the DVD.
|Some Nits
|A typo on the Organian species page is fixed courtesy of doreenpr. Severalpeople have pointed out that an incorrect Stardate was left on the reviewof Nemesis. A typo on the force fields sci-tech entry has been fixed thanksto Balint Jeno Biro.
|Size Comparison
|As promised, some new size comparison images. Twenty nine of them. The Sphinxand EVA pods from the TNG tech manual, the So'na destroyer and battleshipplus an improved image of the collector, the two Talarian ships from "SuddenlyHuman", the Zalkonian, Caatati, Srivani, Benthan, Bomar and Nasari shipsfrom Voyager, the Klingon Raptor class and tanker and the early Romulan Birdof Prey from Enterprise, the Void ships from "Night", Orbital Onefrom "Blink of an Eye", Assan's and Irina's ship from "Drive",the ships from "The Omega Directive", Daelen's ship from "Viaa Vis", the Nightingale, a new Vidiian ship, the Voth science ship, anew version of the Danube class, and the Lysian defence pods from "Conundrum".
All courtesy of Ex Astris Scientia, which can be visited via our links page,with the exception of the first two which were done especially for this site.
|A minor nit fixed on the Sovereign page - the torpedo stowage numbers inthe text didn't match the specs table. Thanks to Victor Garcia for that one.
Also, a whole new ship - the Reman Scorpion class. A full write up, includingsize comp image courtesy of Ex Astris as always.
|Some lovely new images of the Scimitar and the Argo have gone up.
|A full write up on the Argo has gone onto the shuttles list. No size comparisonpicture of this one as yet, and virtually all of the specs are speculative.If you know of any official numbers, please let me know.
The Sovereign specs entry has been re-written to bring it in line with afew new titbits regarding the changes in Nemesis. Although I point out inmy article on the Sovereign that there's no way to know if the new torpedotubes are burst fire or not, I have assumed that they are for now as far asthe specs page is concerned..
|A few small items - Daniel points out that two of the dates on Troi's biohas 2200 numbers rather than 2300, so this is fixed. Adam Broughton pointsout that Picard's page mentions Admiral Hansen when it should say AdmiralDougherty. Ron told me that there is a 0 missing from the Scimitar's shieldstrength. Brian informs me that one of the Quiz questions had the wrong answer(the one about Praxis), so this is fixed. Teo Nguyen tells me that the modelof the Nova class has 11 phaser arrays, not 9, so I have changed this on thespecs page for the class. Doreenpr points out that one person was killed inGenesis, not Zero as my review stated.
|A quick run-through of the TNG season four DVD pack yielded a few new images.Replacement images for one of the Borg Cube pictures and the Malcorian speciesimage have gone up, as have new images of the Vor'Cha and B'rel classes ontheir page. A couple of new images have also gone up on the Klingon speciespage, including a fantastic quality scan of Gowron. You should see the non-webversion, it's even better!
Coming soon... more Nemesis stuff and a whole load of new Sizecomp additions!
|A new article goes up today, examining the Sovereign class Starships andespecially some of the changes made to it for the new movie Nemesis. Thanksto Prometheus and Gerard Gilso for many of the images used.
|The Scimitar and the Valdore have been added to the other ships list. They'reunder the Romulan section, since the Empire was still called the Romulan Empireafter Shinzon took over it. No size comparison images yet, and only a singleimage of each ship. These aren't mine, they've been floating around the netfor a while and look like official publicity shots.
Also, the Sovereign page has been re-worked somewhat to split it into Basicand Uprated models, since we see significant new weaponry on the Enterprise-Ein Nemesis. The Comments page has also been reworked.
|The entries for Picard, Data, Troi and Riker have been updated through Nemesis.
|Episode Guide
|A full review of Nemesis has been added.
|The Scimitar and Valdore entries have been added to the strength calculatorsystem, as has the uprated Sovereign.
|I found a copy of the Nemesis script online and grabbed it. I've writtenan article pointing out some of the changes made between this version of thescript and the finished movie.

A modest proposal for solving the bankrupt city's financial woes.
It's right there in the headline: "Six Crazy Ideas for Saving Detroit." So it's probably unlikely that many people will take seriously item no. 5 on the list compiled by the Washington Post's Wonkblog: "Move federal workers to Detroit."
"There are about 2.7 million federal civilian workers," the Wonkbloggers note. "If 10 percent of them moved to Detroit over the next decade, that would be an extra quarter-million people. Many workers would bring their families with them, and their spending would create additional jobs in the city."
It wouldn't exactly be a forced march. Under the proposal, new federal employees (to the extent agencies are allowed to hire them these days) would be assigned to agency satellite offices in Detroit, and those already working for Uncle Sam would be provided financial incentives to relocate to Motor City.
So congratulations, feds: You've survived a lengthy pay freeze, sequestration and furloughs. If you're interested in being made whole, then next stop, Detroit!

Leading UK video game retailer GAME has released an app for Windows Phone 8. It's a useful tool for those who wield a GAME Reward card and can take full advantage of offers and points collected through purchases and other means of accumulation in the loyalty programme.
Before we get into how awesome the app is, unfortunately it's almost impossible to use with a light theme enabled in Windows Phone settings. Text input fields and forms are only viewable in a dark theme configuration. Should you connect your card to the app, it's then possible to make use of the features using the lighter setting - just bear it in mind when opening the app for the first time.
With that issue out of the way, the app itself is very nice. Making use of Metro elements, the UI definitely looks similar to first-party apps and is easily recognisable as running on Microsoft's platform. GAME customers are able to connect their Reward cards (and Gamestation cards) to the app to display balance information and applicable reward details. A reward QR code is also presented for use.
As well as account balance readouts, those who have accounts can check out the nearest GAME store to any given location, with a map available to view stores across the country (full addresses are listed with distance from current location). Adding gamer tags and system login information when registering an account will enable the retailer to reward those who attain achievements and complete other tasks in the future - pretty neat.
It's well worth checking out the app should you be a frequent customer with the retailer and hold an account to make use of the reward capabilities of the loyalty programme. We'd like to see Game improve the app with more features and possibly the addition of an easily accessible online store.
You can download GAME Reward from the Windows Phone Store for free.

Obama to release budget outline on Apr. 10
WASHINGTON The White House says President Barack Obama will release his federal budget outline on April 10 - two months late.
Under the law, the president was supposed to submit a budget on Feb. 4. But White House aides said deliberations over spending in the past few months delayed the release of Obama's blueprint.
The Republican-controlled House and Democratic-controlled Senate have passed rival budgets in the past week.
- The budget battle: What the heck is going on in D.C.?
- What's in the Republicans' budget plan?
- Senate OKs first budget in 4 years in pre-dawn vote
The Senate budget embraces nearly $1 trillion in tax increases over the coming decade and shelters the domestic programs House Republicans want to cut. The GOP version would balance the budget over the next decade without raising taxes.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has come out and said that the preview scene from the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic is totally inaccurate, Gizmodo's Jesus Diaz reports.
The scene depicts Steve Jobs trying to persuade Wozniak to bring the idea of the operating system to the public.
In the clip, Wozniak, played by Josh Gad, replies, "Nobody wants to buy a computer. Nobody."
But Wozniak says that it's "totally wrong."
"Not close...," Wozniak wrote in a comment on Gizmodo. "We never had such interaction and roles...I'm not even sure what it's getting at...personalities are very wrong although mine is closer...don't forget that my purpose was inspired by the values of the Homebrew Computer Club along with ideas of the value of such machines and Steve J. wasn't around and didn't attend the club so he was the one learning about such social impact of the future."
In a statement to Gizmodo, Wozniak added that he "never looked like a professional," and that his relationship with Jobs was very different from how the film portrayed it.
jOBS premieres Friday night at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, and will hit theaters April 19.
"I'm embarrassed but if the movie is fun and entertaining, all the better," Wozniak told Gizmodo. "Anyone who reads my book iWoz can get a clearer picture."
Check out the clip below.

text: David...do you have any pros or cons with using the 5 frame nuc as your starter vs. a cloake board? I'm undecided on which method I'm going to use but like the simplicity of the nuc sized, if for no other reason than fewer frames to look for rogue queen cells. Do you use different donor hives for your nurse bees or do you just pull from one particular hive?

Ok, let's get started.
A LOT of you have been asking how I set up my Freebies for Fans tab on the Facebook page.
Lemme tell ya. It was a good combo of magic, angry eyebrows, and wine. I've had this thing up for a while now and I believe it was when the fangate thing was starting to take off. There weren't a lot of tutorials out there, so I had to play around and learn a lot myself.
I realize there are other ways of doing this, but here are the steps I took:
Step 1: Install Woobox HTML Fangate on your Facebook page.
Step 2: Customize your tab and add content.
Please note that I made this video first, and refer to "not showing you how to install it." Then I made the first video because I couldn't find the one I originally used. Don't be confused. I just did it in the most backwards way possible.
Step 3: Some crying, swearing, angry eyebrows, and/or wine consumption may be necessary. Possibly a combo of all 4.
You'll eventually get it to work and figure out the right settings for your page. It takes some patience and time just playing around with settings.
Step 4: Post awesome freebies or other fun stuff for those sweet fans. I use MediaFire for linking up files. You can also use Dropbox, GoogleDrive, and other filesharing sites.
Ok, I hope you learned a little something today. I know there are probably some tutorials already out there, but this is the way I set mine up. Hope I covered all of the questions that you guys sent me recently. Again, this is the extent of my knowledge on it. I'm sure there's a "tech whisperer" out there somewhere who can give you more details, but I'm not it. :)
If you feel like sharing, feel free to pin this little thing...

I had an amazing opportunity this week to present a learning strategy to 16 visiting teachers from China. They were all high-school teachers from a large IB school and they taught everything from math to english. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet them and I loved their enthusiasm for learning new ideas and techniques to take home with them.
I also had the pleasure of having several of their students sit in on one of my classes during the week. What a great opportunity for my students to meets students from half-way around the world! My students were quick to learn that students from China are really no different from students in Canada. However, I did appreciate the fact that the visitors emphasized how much more relaxed schools in Canada are, compared to their school back home. My students were gobsmacked that their school in China did not allow makeup, jewellery, tattoos or earring AND they had to wear a uniform.
Here are some of my highlights from the experience:
Kids are kids no matter where they are from! I saw one of the visiting kids had a lunch of french fries, pudding and pop... he saw me take notice and said "my mother is not here... she will not know". I cracked up!
My students couldn't figure out how the Chinese students could text on their phones given the number of characters in the Chinese language. So they asked if they could learn... so out came everyone's phones and away they went! It was so fun to watch them sharing and learning about each other's languages.
Google Earth is an amazing way for students to connect! Despite some language barriers, the kids had a blast zipping from China to Canada and back again to show each other where they lived.
The students were from Beijing which has a population of 22 million! Canada has a population of 34 million. The Chinese students couldn't believe that so few people lived in the second largest country in the world. I don't think they believed me when I told them our population... so I told them to "Google It"... they were amazed to find out it was true.
If you ever have the chance to host international students in your classroom, even for a day, it's a great opportunity for students and teachers alike. I would love to take students to visit a school in another country... maybe I'll have to see what I can come up with! Beijing perhaps??

Sounds like a cool experiece for both groups of students! I think it would be great if we could bring students overseas regularly! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Thanks Darlena! I've taken students overseas on a trip, but never done a school visit. I love the idea of the students connecting.Delete

Nike Air Max 2009 – Air Attack Pack
When experts refer to an event as 'history repeating itself', they're usually describing a dark phase or something generally ominous. With Nike, its quite the opposite; in 2005, the Air Max 360 was unveiled and about a year later the Nike introduced the Nike Powerall, a super-limited collection of 56 Air Max models. Just about year after the Air Max 2009 released, Nike will release the Nike Air Attack Pack, an equally groundbreaking mini-collection of Nike Air in a ton of great colourways.
The Air Max 2009 was an indomitable success last year and was deemed a worthy selection of Sneaker News Top 30 Sneakers of 2009. The collection of 09s features four different black-on-colors with a fifth sexy all-red pair that'll make you blush. Check out the images of the Nike Air Max 2009 Air Attack after the jump, because these are set for an April 2010 release at Niketown, Nike Stores, Nikestore.com, and other select retailers.

cron is a daemon that will execute commands at a scheduled date and time. You use the
crontab command (short for cron table) to set up
cron to execute commands at regular intervals.
If you haven't used
cron before, I recommend reading this excellent introduction to cron and crontab and looking at this example crontab file. You should have at least a basic understanding of
crontab before proceeding.

Q: When should I take the aerator out of my water garden?
Peter – Townsend, DE
A: You gotta love your aerator. This valuable wintertime tool not only keeps a hole in the ice for gas exchange, but it also circulates the water beneath the ice. Your Airmax® PondAir™ Aeration System keeps your fish happy and healthy through the icy winter months.
As springtime approaches and you notice that the ice covering your pond starts to recede, your fish may become more active. This indicates that your finned friends are no longer under threat from trapped gas—so it's logical to assume you can remove the aerator, right?
Not so fast.
Mother Nature has a way of teasing us with spring sunshine, so don't get too excited. In most places across the continent, it's still cold and your pond's ecosystem will remain dormant until water temperatures start hitting the 50-degree mark.
Your best bet is to keep the aerator running.
Chances are that you're not quite ready to get the filtration system up and running in your pond, so your aerator will continue to circulate the water and saturate it with oxygen.
Even when the water warms up, your aerator's added circulation is great for the pond and fish during the hot summer months. Plus, it helps stimulate filtration and beneficial bacteria. If you leave it running, you'll see that the benefits outweigh the nominal amount it costs to run it.
Pond Talk: Has spring sprung in your part of the country?
