Fighting To Free Knowledge Paid For By Taxpayers -- And Winning
from the adding-a-pebble-to-the-cairn dept
One of the pioneers of open access is Michael Eisen, who helped found what has become the leading open access publisher, Public Library of Science, back in 2000. Since then, he's been a pugnacious defender of the public's right to read the research it has paid for, so perhaps it's no surprise that he decided to take direct action in the following case involving NASA:
The Mars Curiosity rover has been a huge boon for NASA -- tapping into the public's fascination with space exploration and the search for life on other planets. Its landing was watched live by millions of people, and interest in the photos and videos it is collecting is so great, that NASA has had to relocate its servers to deal with the capacity.
It's a great point: here was a fantastic opportunity to build on the evident excitement among the general public brought about by the Mars Rover project, and to deepen people's interest in science, and yet NASA prevented that by stupidly locking up its papers behind a paywall. Eisen decided to do something about it:
So what does NASA do to reward this outpouring of public interest (not to mention to $2.5 billion taxpayer dollars that made it possible)? They publish the first papers to arise from the project behind a Science magazine's paywall
This whole situation is even more absurd, because US copyright law explicitly says that all works of the federal government -- of which these surely must be included -- are not subject to copyright. So, in the interests of helping NASA and Science Magazine comply with US law, I am making copies of these papers freely available here
Unlike the tragic story of Aaron Swartz, who also believed that knowledge should be shared, this one has a happy ending:
As of today [27th September] these articles are now available to download from the JPL [Jet Propulsion Laboratory] website. I assume this was done in response to this post and the attention it received. (They were not there on the 26th when the press releases went out -- I looked. And you can see from the PDFs that they weren't downloaded from the Science website until the 27th.) Let's hope that in the future that all NASA papers -- and indeed the results of all government funded research -- are made immediately freely available.
It's great news that Eisen's actions did not end in the usual legal threats from publishers, but in the release of the papers on the JPL site. However, as he points out, this isn't about a few papers from NASA, however interesting they may be. This is about free access to all research that the public funds. Despite huge advances over the last decade, we're still some way from achieving that, which makes Eisen's latest victory for open access all the more welcome.

Championship: Opening up the ivory tower
This is the 22nd article in a continuing series that examines the state of the ecosystem necessary to successfully bring technology to market. Based on dozens of interviews with entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, angel investors, business leaders, academics, tech-transfer experts and policy makers, this series looks at what is working and what can be improved in the go-to-market ecosystem in the United States, Canada and Britain. We invite your feedback.
By Francis Moran and Leo Valiquette
In the context of getting technology to market, "champion" can mean a lot of different things.
Early in this series we defined it as individuals within established enterprises who see the value in supporting a new venture or investing resources in an innovation to help realize its commercial potential. This is often driven by the need to solve a pain point that the patron organization has been unable to address with its internal resources.
A champion can also be a senior decision maker within a large enterprise who provides the clout and support for a successful spinout. Many companies often sit on proprietary IP and leave its commercial potential unrealized because it doesn't fit with their product lines or existing markets. However, with a little vision and persistence from few committed intrapreneurs, a new company can be born.

I spent almost a half year designing it and am so satisfied with how
it looks.
As you see it's simple, modern and actually so practical.
A fridge and a dishwasher (both from AEG) are built-in, even a tish box
is stuck by a magnet under the table as I custom-made (seen on the last image).
The point I want to emphasize is the hue. I chose seven shades of black
for the entire kitchen this time.
I do love full-black kitchen but it could be too stern. So I mixed gray-black,
blue-black, metallic-black, mat-black, glossy-black, ash-black, and black in a marble.
Now I finished renovating my office and currently working on my new
house design. Hope I could share them with you soon!!

Space Telescope Science Institute
The long-term forecast for the Milky Way is cloudy with gaseous rain. A study by Nicolas Lehner and Christopher Howk of the University of
Notre Dame concludes that massive clouds of ionized gas are raining down
from our galaxy's halo and intergalactic space and will continue
to provide fuel for the Milky Way to keep forming stars. Using the Hubble Space Telescope's Cosmic Origins Spectrograph they measured for the first time the distances to huge, fast-moving clouds of ionized gas previously seen covering a large fraction of the sky.

It's a pretty simple formula, really.
If you can force your opponent to turn the ball over six times, your chances of winning improve dramatically.
That's what the Seahawks have done, and why they're beating the Cardinals 38-0.
John Skelton has thrown three interceptions and fumbled and Patrick Peterson has fumbled a pair of punts, making it easy on the Seahawks. It's the most points the Cardinals have ever allowed in a half.
Barring Kurt Warner coming out in the second half for the Cards (and the Seahawks not coming out at all), this will be the ninth straight loss for Arizona.

Welcome Homebrewers!
Basic Brewing is the home of Basic Brewing Radio™ and Basic Brewing Video™, the podcasts that help both beginning and advanced brewers improve their homebrew.
You don't have to be a "professional"
to make great beer at home!
In addition to our podcasts, we have produced extract and all grain DVD videos to help you learn basic and advanced techniques in a fun and easy way.
Our videos are available in homebrew stores across the country, but if there's not one near you, you can order them directly from our online shop.
Extract Brewing and Partial Mashing
James Spencer and Steve Wilkes, hosts of the Basic Brewing podcasts, pull out all the stops in this sequel to their original Introduction to Extract Home Brewing DVD. In this DVD, James and Steve will take you through both basic and advanced techniques.
In the main section, James and Steve walk you through brewing a batch of beer from beginning to end, giving you the opportunity to chose steeping or partial mashing and bottling or kegging from interactive menus.
Decoction Mashing and Lagering Made Basic!
Basic Brewing: Low-Tech Lagering and Decoction Mashing introduces experienced brewers to advanced techniques that have been passed down through generations. Follow a single-decoction brew session step-by-step, adding flavor characteristics that will enhance your lager brews.
Then, see the lagering process using the Low Tech Lagering System (LTLS) - a home-built system that allows maintaining consistent, controllable temperatures without the expense of a chest freezer.
Basic Brewing: Stepping into All Grain takes you through the all grain brewing process from milling your grain to collecting your wort. It is designed for brewers who already brew using the extract method, but beginners will get a lot out of it, too.
This DVD uses a non-linear approach to step you through the process. You can choose step or infusion mashing, then batch or fly-sparging. And you can always visit any segment directly by using the chapter menu.

A survey of 1005 Canadians found that, overall, we are tough on athletes who are caught using performance enhancing drugs. Nanos Research conducted a random telephone poll across Canada, asking questions about what the penalty should be if an athlete is caught at the Olympics using PEDs. Fully one-third said that it should be a lifetime ban, with another third opting for a four year ban (ie, one Olympic cycle) and 26% wanted a one year ban. An insignificant 3% said there should be no penalty. Regionally, the West (particularly the Prairies) were toughest on dopers.
With respect to current usage of PEDs at the Olympics, 38% say there has been no drop in usage, 26% say that use is increasing and 20% say that it is decreasing.

MOVIE REVIEW- <i>Social</i> genius: Facebook flick programmed for success
The Social Network is about a young man who possessed an uncanny ability to look into a system of unlimited possibilities and sense a winning move. His name is Mark Zuckerberg, he created Facebook, he became a billionaire in his early 20s, and he reminds me of the chess prodigy Bobby Fischer. There may be a touch of Asperger's syndrome in both: They possess genius but are tone-deaf in social situations. Example: It is inefficient to seek romance by using strict logic to demonstrate your intellectual arrogance.
David Fincher's film has the rare quality of being not only as smart as its brilliant hero, but in the same way. It is cocksure, impatient, cold, exciting and instinctively perceptive. It hurtles through two hours of spellbinding dialogue. It makes an untellable story clear and fascinating. It is said to be impossible to make a movie about a writer, because how can you show him only writing? It must also be impossible to make a movie about a computer programmer, because what is programming but writing in a language few people in the audience know? Yet Fincher and his writer, Aaron Sorkin, are able to explain the Facebook phenomenon in terms we can immediately understand, which is the reason 500 million of us have signed up.... [full review]

"I really think this group is talented enough to compete right away," Ryman said. "We are going to get major contributions this spring from freshmen.
"It's exciting to see our program come full circle again. We just graduated a great group, but to bring in another group that is transitioning quickly into being some key players for us is exciting. We work every day in practice to get better whether it is one small thing or something big."
Sometimes freshmen that have bright falls don't bloom as strong in the spring. Ryman is hopeful that the four wins over the weekend, including an intense 1-0 defeat of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols, will give the newcomers a confidence boost that will carry them into the regular season.
"In the UT game we were right back to that NCAA Regional- type feeling," Ryman said. "There were a lot of emotions back-and-forth in the game.
"We don't want to blow it up into any more than it was, but at the same time it wasn't like either team was not playing its starters. Both pitchers gave up one hit. UT gave up a home run and we gave up a bunt single in the seventh. Even though it was a fall game both teams wanted to win."
Several of the freshmen played key roles in the UT game. Shelby Cunningham is making a strong run at the left field position. Haley Elliott's bat is going to force Ryman to find her a spot at either catcher or designated player. Bridgette Begle appears to have the second base position nailed down.
"Shelby made a couple of outstanding catches in left field," Ryman said. "Haley got us the big hit with the home run. Rena' did a good job at third base and had some good at bats where she just battled through the counts. Bridgette is an outstanding athlete who has done well for us throughout the fall.
"The bench was up the entire game. The crowd was really into it. It was a fun thing to be a part of even if it was the fall."
The starting line-up against the Lady Vols featured Vanessa Medina at first, Begle at second, Courtney Billington at shortstop and Cothron at third. Cunningham started in left with Mackenzie Tucker in center and Bree Thurman in right.
"Shelby had a tremendous weekend," Ryman said. "She is a laid-back kind of kid. She just goes out and does her job.
"She is quickly becoming more of an impact player in our lineup. She is definitely making a statement. I thought her offense improved a ton."
Elliott has shown flashes of power at the plate this fall. Based on what Elliott did as a batter in high school Ryman is not surprised at what she has seen.
"Haley improves a little every day whether she is behind the plate at catcher or as a hitter," Ryman said. "Her power doesn't surprise me. We have tweaked several things with her since she has been here and she has been extremely open to changing some things. She has worked very hard to make some adjustments so she can be a better and more consistent hitter at this level."
Cothron is in the mix at third base and Kristen Sturdivant is working out at first base.
Pitchers Ashley Anderson and Jeneva "J.J." Nelson got some work on the mound. Ryman plans to primarily use both of them, along with sophomore Ali Watson, in a doubleheader against Trevecca Nazarene at Draper Diamond Oct. 20 starting at 5 p.m.
The Lady Bisons played Chipola, one of the top junior college programs in the nation, and Milligan as well as the University of Tennessee.
"We didn't know a lot about Milligan going in," Ryman said. "That game was a good opportunity for us to put a lot of freshmen on the field. We had six of our seven freshmen on the field in that game.
"I can't say enough about how hard they are working right now. We have thrown a lot at them. We have asked quite a bit of them. They have responded well. We are going to keep pushing."

LOUIS VUITTON AIRY V POCHETTE LOUISE BAGCategories:Louis Vuitton
The Louis Vuitton's Airy V Pochette Louise Bag is the perfect feminine bag companion! For LV lovers out there, the Louise Bag is not a new bag and in fact it has been around for quite some time. This time around, the French designer house reinvented and gave it a classic twist by adding an Airy V embossed finishing, reminding V of Vuitton.
Ever wonder how they were able to make this design? Well, the secret was laid open. Louis Vuitton made use of smooth leather that has been embossed with a thin foam backing, thus ensuring a light padded result. Despite its size, women shouldn't feel intimidated at all as it still offers a great capacity of storage while its delicate and striking chain allows an elegant shoulder carry.
Made from embossed calfskin, it features a tone-on-tone edge dyeing, and microfiber lining. Aesthetic wise, it also has a signature LV clasp and gold-like chain for shoulder carry while its interior offers an inside zipped pocket and inside flat pocket.
Measuring 9.1" x 6.3" x 1.6" (L x H x W) inches and is priced $2880 USD, €2000 euro, £1860 GBP, $23800 HKD, $3550 AUD, ¥324000 JPY via Louis Vuitton e-store or boutiques.

LOUISE VUITTON PETITE MALLE WITH LEATHER COVERCategories:Louis Vuitton
The dictionary translates 'Malle' as 'Cabin Trunk, Trunk, Case, Suitcase'. And I can skip the word 'Petite', as you should already know (by now) what it exactly means. Yes, you're absolutely right, 'Petite' means 'Small'.
There you go, an extensive description of the hottest and newest Louis Vuitton Accessory from the Fall Winter 2014 Collection – the Small Trunk Shoulder Bag.
This post is following up on our previous review on the Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Bag, you see, this bag is quite similar, but it has that extra leather cover that makes it all intriguing and drop-dead gorgeous.
Wrapped around a brown vintage leather cover, a super thin strap that's linked to both sides of the mini trunk bag. The golden hardware shines right through the roof and the crispy white color is perfect for every girl who demands fashion.
I am in love with this bag, I am in love with the leather cover, without it is like an iphone without its cover, a laptop without its case, a parker pen without the box, and a wallet without the cash.
This bag is one of the best designs from the Fall Winter 2014 Collection. At this moment, we do not know its price or size, but we will keep you informed, just like our Facebook page.

LOUIS VUITTON CHAIN LOUISE BAG WITH PYTHON CLASPCategories:Louis Vuitton
Are you looking for a bag that'll surely shine up above the rest? Well, the Louis Vuitton Chain Louise Bag is something you'd surely want the one for the job! If you're after a day-to-night friendly piece, we're pretty confident that the Louise bag can do the trick. As LV would put it, the bag 'combines sleek, smooth calfskin leather with a beautiful golden chain and opening clasp' – a classic design with a subtle twist…but what could it be?
In the not-so distant past, the bag had been reinvented into different styles – aside from its classic calfskin box leather exterior (with a plain gold hardware), it has been upgraded into a Strap PM Epi Leather piece and into a Sliding Chain version. You can click on the links below to check 'em out!
READ: Louis Vuitton Louise Bag Details
READ: Louis Vuitton Louise Strap PM in Epi
READ: Louis Vuitton Louise Sliding Chain
This Chain Louise GM version features (ta-da!) a 3D-like opening clasp in precious python, which plays along with the beautiful calfskin exterior. Inside, it's even better – it has six credit card slots and two interior pockets with one that's zipped securely. Also, since it has a golden chain, it gives you more options for carrying (hand or shoulder carry, it doesn't matter).
Measuring 16.1" x 12.2" x 2.8" inches, you can get your very own Chain Louise Bag with Python Clasp for $3,100 USD, €2,150 EUR, £1,760 GBP, $3,700 AUD, or HK$25,700 via Louis Vuitton online boutique.

LOUIS VUITTON LOUISE SLIDING CHAINCategories:Louis Vuitton
A much-loved Louis Vuitton Shoulder Bag – the Louise is truly one of its kind. We received a lot of positive reaction when we released this bag on our site and its because this bag is simply gorgeous. No other explanation.
However, Louis Vuitton has decided to change the Louise Bag a bit and as the name already revealed it – it's the sliding chain.
Here an image of the original Louis Vuitton Louise Chain Bag:
Here's another image of the new Louis Vuitton Louise Sliding Chain:
Which one you should choose? Well, its just matter of comfort and what you like. But the sliding chain looks much chic'er and modern because the chain is in the outside. The golden hardware shines around the bag.
Another point to notice is the design of the chains. The Louis Vuitton Louise Chain Bag has a much more feminine chain while the Louis Vuitton Louise Sliding Chain is more masculine. It's bigger, more sophisticated and looks heavier (not that its heavier but it just looks like it).
Other basic element that we adore is the 3D LV logo signature on the front. The interior is slightly different than the original version – with 1 inside zipped pocket and additional leather inside compartment. The Louise Sliding Chain Bag is crafted with calfskin, measuring 8.3' x 5.9' x 1.2' inches, priced at $2200 USD, €1550 euro, £1500 GBP via Louis Vuitton boutique.

ACA member and frequent commentator David Tyler went on the campaign trail briefly with Mark Loewe to John Hagee's Cornerstone Church. David's trip report is in our November Austin Atheist Newsletter (p. 2). I'm sorry I couldn't go to this service. I've always wanted to see John Hagee in action. If you missed my 2008 Atheist Experience episode on John Hagee (episode #557), he's a major wackjob with a large following in San Antonio. His main shtick is promoting end-times theology, complete with apocalyptic theology books, a major lobbying effort to bring about the end times, and an insistence that Hitler was inspired by God to bring Jews together (so good Christians can be raptured).
The speaker was co-Christian lunatic and propagandist, David Barton, of "Wall Builders" fame. I'll be talking about Barton on this Sunday's episode, but I wanted to draw attention to his "4 values" that he promoted to get the flock to vote his way:
1. Open display of worship (prayer in schools and government functions).
2. No killing of innocents (abortion, Pro-life).
3. Honor your father and mother (traditional marriage, family only – no gays).
4. Protection of private property (no government eminent domain seizures).
Barton allegedly got these directly from the Ten Commandments. I wanted to point out how self-serving his interpretation is.
1. While proselytization is nothing new to the Christian faith, the 10C in the Exodus fable was directed at the Israelites, God's supposedly chosen people. If you weren't part of that chosen people, advertising wasn't going to help you. For Christian "leaders" like Hagee and Barton, advertising is necessary to sell that lemon of a religion. Who cares if you have to embrace the tactics of the Pharisees condemned in Matt. 6-5.
2. When did "Thou Shalt Not Kill" get turned into something about killing of innocents? Innocent by whose standard? I guess to these Christian leaders, killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Afghans is completely just. The abortion thing is simply made up (bearing false witness). There's no mention of abortion anywhere in either the Old or New Testaments. The penalty for causing a miscarriage is a fine (Ex. 21:22)… paid to the father–the one whose property has been taken. Remember that the wife is property herself and has no real rights under Biblical law.
3. I was amused by the "honoring thy father and mother" turning into a slam against gay rights. That one's new to me. Jesus never said anything about gays, but he did make it very clear in Matt. 10:34-38 that people should disobey their parents, leave their families, and follow him. Jesus should have been killed for his contempt of Jewish law. Too bad there were no serious followers of Jewish law around to extract the penalty of death. But what drama would there be in that?
4. Let's take a look at Biblical property rights, especially in that "coveting" commandment (Ex. 20:17). Wives, slaves, animals, and tangible property are all listed as a man's property. Elsewhere, it's clear that his children are a man's property, as well. It would seem that would make Barton pro slavery, against women owning property, for multiple wives, and against anyone interfering with a man's desire to have his own children aborted, should he so choose. Christians self-servingly never associate the "coveting" commandment mentioned their meddling with others' reproduction–others' property, according to their own Bible.
You'll also never hear Barton associate his pro-Christian twisting of American History with the commandment about bearing false witness. Lying is his livelihood just as peddling Christian snuff porn is Hagee's. So Barton's plug for the 10C is really about promoting the Christian agenda of advertising their crap, the manufacture of future tithers, selling hatred of gays as red meat for rabid followers, and making sure Christian leaders keep their profit$ and tax advantages. They'll both say and do anything to make a buck and their followers are too stupid to know they're being conned.

Confirmed: Nexus 4 shipping with updated design
Small nubs now lift the back of the phone up off a table; camera lens gets a slight redesign
Android Central has confirmed that the Nexus 4 has undergone a little bit of a design tweak. As first reported by German site MobiFlip. there are now a couple of small nubs on the rear of the phone, where the glass meets the foot, positioned just above the two screw holes.
We've confirmed the change on a pair of Nexus 4s we ordered on Monday this week and received on Wednesday. In the image above, our original Nexus 4, now some four months old, is on top, with a new retail unit (still in its protective plastic) at the bottom. Note the little nub between the screw holes of the two phones.
This small design change has a couple of effects. It lifts phone up ever so slightly, allowing sound to escape the flush speaker. We can confirm that sounds are a little fuller and louder. Not a great deal, but we can tell. The change also should help keep the glass back from getting the little hairline scratches it's been prone to pick up.
And perhaps more important, it should keep the ultra-slick phone from sliding off any similarly slick surfaces.
The little nubs are just big enough to be felt when you're holding it. You'll know if you've got them on your phone.
Nexus 4 camera housing also gets a tweak
Another small change noticed regards the camera lens. There's a little less exposed area around the lens. It's unclear whether that's simply a design change, or if it helps with light leakage, or if it's just discrepancies in the manufacturing process. (We're working on tracking that down.) But it is noticeable, at least when you're looking at two phones side by side. Interesting is that in our old Nexus 4, the lens is centered in the hole -- it's definitely not in the new unit we picked up this week.
All in all, good signs that neither LG nor Google has given up on the Nexus 4 (we debunked that rumor months ago). Oh, and the new phone still has the glittery back.

MONKTON — Longtime choreographer Karen Amirault, who is wrapping up a nine-day residency at Monkton Central School this Friday, has been dancing for five decades.
Amirault grew up in Melrose, Mass., and has been a dancer from the age of four, when she began taking lessons in ballet.
"Ballet is like Latin — it's an incredibly strong base for any kind of dance," Amirault said.

In a bid to remove any and all distractions from your gaming, these budding engineers have come up with the Game Tank, a (relatively) small pod that cuts you off from the outside world and leaves you with nothing to focus on but the screen and controls.
Right now they've built a single prototype unit, but are looking for more funding to build a further four. The kind of features they're looking at installing include a rumbling seat, 5.1 surround sound and, somehow, an "emergency escape hatch". Presumably in case of fire. Or spilled coffee.
It's probably not the most practical solution around, especially if you live somewhere that's not a mansion, but as the father of a screaming young human, I can at least sympathise with the principle.

From local heroes to international pop successes, the members of Los Angeles neo-psychedelic indie group [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Foster The People[/lastfm] have seemingly accomplished more in the last year than some musicians do in their artistic lifetimes.
Much of this popularity has to do with their diverse sound–which is inspired by an equally diverse array of musicians.

The entire concert will stream live on Wednesday, October 26th at 9pm ET/6pm PT, and you can watch it right here or on CBS.com, presented by Dance Central 2 on Kinect for Xbox 360.

iOS 6 brings a couple of new options to the built-in Phone app, including the ability to Respond with Message to incoming calls.

Sunderland captain Lee Cattermole has warned his teammates not to dwell on missed opportunities in past games if they are to get their season back on track.
Steve Bruce's side have only scored once in their last three Barclays Premier League outings, piling yet more pressure on an under-fire Black Cats boss.
Cattermole believes Sunderland should focus on the positives of their early season goalscoring form, in order to gain the confidence needed to overcome fellow strugglers Wolves at the weekend.
"Maybe, we're lacking a little bit of spark in the final third, but then two of the last three games have been against Man United and a well-organised Fulham team," he said.
"Before that, we scored four against Stoke, two against Villa, two against Bolton and two against West Brom."
The skipper acknowledges his side are not defending as well as they should be either; "I don't think it's been so much the goals we can't get this season that's been the problem.
"It's been conceding more goals than we ever have," added Cattermole.
Sunderland sit just two points out of the relegation zone in 16th - level on points with Wolves - so a win for the Black Cats is vital.

Age Is No Reason to Stop Worrying About STDs
The number of adults age 50-plus living with HIV/AIDS has been growing in recent years, with the group accounting for 24 percent of people with the infection in 2005, up from 17 percent in 2001, according to CDC.
As to reasons why more seniors are living with HIV, "One of them is the success achieved with medications," said Dr. Anthony Japour, an infectious-diseases specialist at Miami's Jackson North Medical Center and adjunct professor at Florida International University's Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine.
"For me the emergence of AIDS was like the Third World War, due to the number of people dying every day," said Japour, whose medical studies began in 1981. "By the time I finished my studies in 1986, it was already known that HIV was the cause of AIDS. Yet there was no treatment." More recently, people could "be infected with HIV in their 30s or 40s and still live longer than 50 or 60 years," Japour said.
Earlier diagnoses are also being made, Japour said. "To have HIV nowadays doesn't mean a sure death. Virus patients are dying from other causes such as heart problems, dementia or cancer, among other diseases."
In addition to HIV, sexually active seniors may also be at risk of contracting other STDs.
"The older generation has this idea that condoms are only used to prevent pregnancies and they don't use it because they are no longer worried about them," Japour said. "However, even at age 80, you should use a condom if you are sexually active. Now, with medications like Viagra, people remain sexually active until a very advanced age. It is important for doctors to emphasize the use of condoms to older people."

Brotzeit's elegant interior is simple yet cozy. The long tables are wooden and sturdy, just the way it ought to be to enjoy a hearty Bavarian meal with a pitcher of imported German beer. You can also have your feast under the big sunshade in the outside area.
The Brotzeit chain of restaurants brings German food to many places in East and Southeast Asia, with more branches in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand. The first Philippine branch in Shangri-La Plaza Mall launched in early 2013, a second followed in Glorietta, and a third one in Shangri-La Hotel The Fort, BGC.

My generation has been dubbed "the millenials" because we seem to have "come of age" [roughly] in the first decade or so of the new millenium. I am in the "generation y" part of this large generation of young people who face a problem that our parents didn't face to nearly the degree we do now. Funding College. In America it doesn't seem to matter whether the millenial kids go to public or private 4-year colleges, make no mistake! Unless you are REALLY poor, REALLY lucky, or REALLY a "when pigs fly" prodigy, you will be shoveling boatloads of money out your door [or piling a mountain of debt on your head and getting collection calls in 5 years or so.].
When I told a European of the "average" cost of a PUBLIC college full-time, live-on-campus, tuition for 1 YEAR, he was floored.... [the average is estimated at about $30,000 - for 1 year]. Projected out four years, you get almost $100,000 [which is not including expenses on textbooks, food [except... if you're lucky, it might include a dining hall plan], clothing, cell phones, technological requirements, medicine [prescription, doctors, non-prescription], and gas/ car payments. Yep! You can see why we lose sleep.
My parents say they want to pay for all three of their children's tuitions, but I think they're dreaming [not to be pessimistic]. The projected [but never spoken about] cost of this would be close to [if not] half a million dollars.
We DO try for financial aid. But... while federal student loans are easy enough to get - they will come back to bite you in the ass later. Grants are nearly impossible for middle class students to get. And unless you're extremely lucky or over-the-top talented at something, scholarships [if you can get them] amount to peanuts.
For example... lets say you have to pay $30,000 a year for tuition and managed to get a $3,000 a semester "good grades in high school" scholarship. That's all well and nice... but for a year, the scholarship will pay only $6,000. On what planet is that enough to make even a dent in a $30,000 tuition? Okay so we're down to $24,000... big difference right? lol
I'm attending a community college part time right now. I don't qualify for scholarships and the government took one look a the "withdrawl" semester when I was in the hospital, and threatened to take away my student loan capabilities.
Still.... I guess it could be worse.
As a part-time student my parents shell out $136 per credit hour. [since most classes at my community college are 3 credit hours... triple that]
If you go full time you would pay $1,621 a quarter if you're in state.
I guess that's better than my brother who goes to one of the nation's biggest public colleges, Ohio State University [student population - 60,000 last I checked].
As an Ohio Resident my brother's tuition will be around $19,584 a year
If I continue with my current plan to transfer as a full-time student to the university of cincinnati, my tuition will become between $20,000 and $25,000
Where's the sanity? *sigh*
Views: 90
Clarkson University is $49,500 a year without any sort of aid. $200,000 for 4 years sounds rather... Unpleasant.

The "war" between he jin and the ten attendants was basically a political war -- although it still ended with lots of deaths. The eunuchs didn't have any land to call their own (aside from their homes), and most of the action was in Luoyang, especially in the palace and other government buildings.
https://digitalcollections.anu.edu.au/bitstream/1885/42048/20/map02.pdf is a map of where the major warlords (and zhang lu) were. For reference:
* Gongsun Zan seized the western half of You; Gongsun Du (and his descendants) had the eastern half on orders form Dong Zhuo. To my knowledge, they weren't related.
* Yuan Shu had Yu and the northwestern part of Yang (basically the parts beyond the river). He gained limited control over a decent part of the rest of Yang (via Sun Ce), but when he declared himself emperor, Sun Ce immediately cut ties, and Yuan Shu lost the rest of his land within a couple years.
* Yuan Shao started with Bohai in eastern Ji; he gradually increased his territory until he had all of Ji, Qing, and Bing, and the western half of You.
* Lu Bu seized Changan and held it for little over a month; later he helped Zhang Miao take most of Yan, but Cao Cao recovered it and Lu Bu was forced to flee. Finally, Lu Bu wound up serving under and then betrayting Liu Bei and runnign Xu...until Liu Bei and Cao Cao teamed up to retake it. He also spent time under Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Zhang Yang.
* During the battle of chi bi, Cao Cao held You, Ji, Bing, Qing, Yan, Yu, Xu, Si Li, and at least some of Jing (if not most), plus the lords of Liang were his vassals. Sun Quan had Yang, while Liu Qi (and Liu Bei, who served under him) had at least one of Jing's prefectures (Jiangxia) if not the whole prefecture, along with much of Jing's soldiers.

Whipped cream frosting is so fresh and light. Using whipped cream frosting (and I don't mean Cool Whip) can be a great alternative to buttercream or cream cheese frostings.
Some of my favorite whipped cream frostings feature fruit (see my strawberry whipped cream frosting and my mango whipped cream frosting). For my maple ice cream cupcakes, I opted for a peach whipped cream frosting. Peaches 'n cream are a tried and true combination and maple and peach are a dynamic duo.
Peach Whipped Cream Frosting Recipe
Whipped Cream Frosting with Peaches
- 1 C heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 C sugar
- 2/3 C finely pureed peaches fresh or canned (If you plan to pipe the frosting, be sure to puree finely, otherwise they will get stuck in your piping tip - no fun! I used a food processor.)
- Beat whipping cream on medium speed for about five minutes, until soft peaks form.
- Mix in sugar.
- Fold in peaches to the whipped cream.
- Be sure to keep refrigerated.

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Displacement: Elephants are great swimmers
Q. When elephants need to cross a river and can't find a bridge, what's their recourse? –T.R. Zan
A. Excellent swimmers, they can go for hours, says Guy Murchie in The Seven Mysteries of Life. Faced with a strong current, elephants have been known to erect their trunk as a snorkel, then march right across rivers 12 feet deep, treading bottom.
They snorkel too while swimming, mammoth animals lightened greatly by body buoyancy, leading to speculations long ago that ancestral elephants may have come out of the seas. New evidence for this, from the University of Melbourne, traces early embryological features of the elephant– respiratory, reproductive, etc.– to creatures well adapted to life in an aquatic environment.
Then the time came– who knows why– when they packed up their trunks and hit the beachhead.
Q. Just what may come of a sneezing elephant's "jumbochoo"? a) a face-drenching shower of pachyderm mucus b) a big wind like a hurricane forced through a flailing fire hose c) kids thrown out of the zoo d) an elephantine crop-raid deterred? –P.T. Barnum
A. Under the right circumstances, any of the above, as noted in New Scientist magazine. One Botswana writer told of frequently enjoying the African nights by sleeping under mosquito netting rather than a tent. "You can wind up being investigated by lions, hyenas, hippos and elephants, which can be quite exciting," he says. Then one time a friend of his awoke and, unable to see the stars, assumed it had clouded over. Suddenly he realized he was looking up at an elephant's underside, with the animal sniffing him through the net. Without warning the trunk spewed out a faceful of mucus, much as a dog, cat, or human might do to remove foreign or excess material from the nasal passages.
The "big wind" came at a zoo where kids had fed an elephant handfuls of pepper. It snorted and wheezed a few times before unloosing a sneeze "hurricane" that got the kids kicked out. Finally, farmers concerned about pachyderm crop damage will at times use chillies to induce sneezing. They plant chilli seeds around the fields and burn dung cakes laced with chilli at night, supported in part by the Elephant Pepper Development Trust.
Q. If you're a chocolate lover, you should thank (blame?) a) your parents b) your "sweet tooth" c) the candy industry's advertisers d) the microorganisms in your gut. –A.M. Taylor
A. All of these to a degree, but the new biologically based choice is d), those amazing, "trainable" bacteria in your belly, says Science magazine. People keen for the candy, say researchers, harbor different types of bacteria from other folks. When biochemists analyzed metabolic byproducts in urine and blood samples of chocoholics, a fascinating anomaly emerged: The gut differences are not just a product of our genes, since volunteers who had moved to the United States from India showed the same changes in their gut bacteria over time. Also, their blood had lower levels of bad cholesterol and higher levels of albumin, a nutrient-carrying protein. Said one United Kingdom microbiologist, "Understanding how diet affects gut activity can lead to personalized nutrition plans for nudging bacteria in the direction of good health."
Q. It's called "the Fermi paradox," and the deeper humankind looks into it, the more profound its implications become. As Arthur C. Clarke once pointed out, the question must have an answer, one way or other, and either way, it will be equally amazing. In fact, if we ever learn the answer, it will cause the most dramatic shift in the status of our human species that has ever occurred in history. What is this famous question? –A. C. Clarke
A. Nobel-prize winning physicist Enrico Fermi posed this during a 1950 discussion with other scientists about extraterrestrial intelligence: If alien civilizations really are as common as it seems they ought to be, "Where is everybody?" Partly the answer to this means thinking about what a grown-up civilization might do, says Jeffrey Bennett in Beyond UFOS. Though we've never yet met one, Bennett explains, I have a pretty good idea what we humans must do to become one: We must grow and grow in wisdom because only if we learn to find solutions to worldly problems such as global warming, poverty, disease, terrorism and war– and only if we do all of this together– can we stay around long enough to gain the necessary knowledge and technology to reach outward to embrace "what lies beyond." If we can do this, "the possibilities that await us are infinite."

A concept that began 13 years ago is a bit closer to becoming reality.
A concept that began 13 years ago is a bit closer to becoming reality.
ONWASA is pursuing grants and low interest loan options to fund the Union Chapel Water Treatment Plant, according to information from ONWASA.
The project, which will create an alternate water supply in the Castle Hayne Aquifer, is expected to be complete by June 2015. The design phase is scheduled to be complete in June 2014 followed by 12 months of construction, according to ONWASA officials.
The actual concept of the Union Chapel Plant started in 2000 and progressed as officials began looking at ways to intercept the water before it reached quarry pits via a well system.
An agreement was reached between Onslow Water and Sewer Authority and Martin Marietta Aggregates to allow more testing of the Castle Hayne Aquifer and acquiring of lands surrounding the Onslow Quarry site on Union Chapel Road for wells and a treatment plant.
New sources of water are needed in the area to replace the restricted amount currently being withdrawn from the Black Creek Aquifer, according to ONWASA.
Due to the reductions in the Black Creek, ONWASA needs another source in order to meet the demands, Tim Webb, utilities and planning superintendent told The Daily News.
The second phase of the restrictions being implemented in August 2013 would reduce this amount by over 1.5 million gallons a day.
With each phase, there is a reduction of 25 percent, Webb said. There will be a total of a 75-percent reduction, with the third phase taking place in 2018.
The original estimated cost of a 3 million gallon per day Reverse Osmosis Plant to treat the Castle Hayne Aquifer water was estimated at $27 to $30 million. ONWASA officials say they then realized they wouldn�t need the full 3 million gallons immediately since they can still use 2.8 million gallons of the Black Creek Aquifer.
A new treatment option � which involved blending 1.5 million gallons of water from the Union Chapel wells or Castle Hayne Aquifer with the 2.8 million gallons of water from the Black Creek Aquifer for a drinking water supply that didn�t need additional treatment � was studied and developed as the initial phase, according to ONWASA officials.
The move saved $3 to 4 million.
It also allows ONWASA time to study the development and growth in the Southwest area to determine if further reductions would be necessary in the Black Creek Aquifer before expanding the plant to 3 million gallons.
ONWASA should hear within a couple of months whether grant funds will be awarded in response to an application for the Clean Water Partners Infrastructure Program through the Rural Center, officials said.
