My dear cousin, Ellen Hetland Fenwick, presented a mathematics & logic puzzle for my perusal and opinion. I expressed what seemed the logical answer, then added: why am I thinking there's some trick to this?
What do you think is the answer? Do you think there is some trick? If there is a trick, can you explain what it is? Ellen loves comments. Please include them in the comments section associated with this article. Here, then, is "A Curious Puzzle" by Ellen Hetland Fenwick.

Could Andy Souwer beat Semmy Schilt if they were on the same weight category?
Andy Souwer is the most impressive fighter I have ever saw in a K-1 ring, I would love to see the guy fight against the big guns like Semmy Schilt but obviously they cant because Souwer is a K-1 max fighter, but what if they both had the same weight? Andy Souwer is the kind of fighter you cant put down just with powerful non skilled kicks.

this question is retarded.
Do we make souwer 7 feet tall while we're at it, or does he keep his same height and get Jeff Monson sized muscles? do we shrink Schilt? If your question is who is the more talented figher, the answer is Souwer, though maybe if he had always been the biggest kid in the gym, he probably would not have had to develop the awesome skill he has. Schilt is a talented guy, don't get me wrong, you don't win the K-1 GP by accident, but pound for pound, he's hardly top ten material like Souwer. He relies on his size to win fights, which explains how he can lose to the only man bigger than himself he ever fought, Choi Hong Man (who is probably the least talented "fighter" in K-1, and Fedor will murder with extreme prejudice).
stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

The scientific method is certainly harder work than 'other ways of thinking' like religious faith or commonsense intuition, and it requires more humility from its practitioners. However, the knowledge it provides is of correspondingly greater utility. Because of this, the scientific method represents our best hope of solving the many problems we face as individuals, as a society and as a species.
However, our most important problems are in the fields of politics and ethics, and these are precisely the areas from which the likes of Midgley and Bryan Appleyard seek to exclude it.

|Content Designer Matthew Medina Discusses the Alphabets of Guild Wars
By Matthew Medina June 21st, 2010
First, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Matthew Medina, and I'm one of the content designers at ArenaNet - which is just a fancy way of saying that I'm one of the people that create "cool stuff for players to do." I'd like to take this opportunity to let players in on one of the things that I, and a number of our other team members, have been working on in order to give players the aforementioned cool stuff.
"You may even be the first to discover an ancient language that until now had been lost to history - will you be the one to translate it?"Hopefully by now everyone has noticed that ArenaNet has been very, very busy crafting an incredible game in Guild Wars 2, and hopefully everyone has also noticed the more recent trend of team members communicating directly with our fans about the game's development right here on this very blog. As a part of our ongoing effort to lift the veil on some of the aspects of the development of Guild Wars 2, I wanted to give everyone some details on one of the ways that we'll be injecting a subtle, but hopefully rewarding element of lore into the game. Specifically, I wanted to talk more about the written languages of Tyria and how they will be used in Guild Wars 2.

|Design Director James Phinney on the Recent Account Bans
By James Phinney May 26th, 2010
This is an important day for Guild Wars.
Today we terminated more than 3,700 accounts for botting and match manipulation. In cases where guilds were found to be involved in these activities, the guilds were also disbanded. More than a dozen such guilds were disbanded and many others are under continued investigation. Today's actions are significant not simply because of their immediate impact but also because they represent a new era in enforcement for us.

|Five Years in Tyria
By James Phinney April 28th, 2010
The last day dawns on the Kingdom of Ascalon. Five years ago, with those words, the world of Tyria came alive. For many of us, that was the beginning of an epic journey that included warring kingdoms, an unexpected change in scenery, a mysterious doppelganger, a crystal dragon, and a treacherous lich.

The line between the digital world and the physical one is imaginary
There have been some really interesting projects spring up recently that make use of physical objects in three-dimensional space to negotiate or interact with digital media. This seems important.
It's something I've been giving a great deal of thought to recently – and I've been paying close attention to this development, especially with respect to music making and music consumption – but it applies right across the realm of things we like to think of as 'creative' or 'playful'.
To show you what I mean about the erasure of the line between digital and physical, take a look at Osmo – an iPad toy that uses wooden puzzle pieces to engage children in creative play and group activities.
As you see from the video, users arrange the wooden shapes on a table in front of the iPad and get instruction and feedback to let them know when they have it right. It puts the play in physical space rather than simply on the screen, but also uses the intelligence of the iPad to make the experience entirely interactive.

One of the biggest food trends of the decade is proving to be a popular dish at Harvey's Restaurant.
Arma de la Cruz of Eat With Us Group said as people are becoming more health conscience, one of the most popular dishes is the Club Salad.
Starkville Daily News readers recently named Harvey's Restaurant as Best Salad in Starkville in the 2011 Readership Poll.
"At Eat With Us we understand that our guests have a variety of tastes, preferences and dietary restrictions," De la Cruz said. "Although, we can't answer to every situation, we do the best we can to have a variety of healthy choices and delicious entrees at each of our restaurants."
De la Cruz said Harvey's and the other restaurants in the Eat With Us Group are a part of the HeathyDiningFinder.com program and have incorporated more vegetarian friendly dishes.
The restaurant also received the Best Place for a Business Lunch by SDN Readers.
"Your dining experience can affect the tone and efficiency of a business meeting, special event or any type of celebration," De la Cruz said. "It is an honor that the community has faith in our consistency in great food and excellent service."
"We are so proud that our restaurants have been supported by the community so strongly since 1981," said De la Cruz. "We take pride in our employees. Hiring great attitudes is key. If you start with that then everything else within the restaurant business can be learned through proper training."
"Our consistency in great food and service is dependent on our hiring practices, training and employee relations. Great attitudes is what we look for first. When you combine a great attitude with creativity and innovation in the kitchen, it's a winning combination," said John Bean, president of Eat With Us.
Another one of Starkville's favorite dishes at Harvey's Restaurant is the marinated ribeye.
Harvey's was also recognized in Mississippi Magazine's 2011 Best of Mississippi Readership Poll for Top Five Best Appetizer for the Broccoli Bites and Top Five Best Fine Dining.
"Our Chefs are so creative," De la Cruz said. "They see what is the freshest produce, fish and other meats available each week and get their inspiration from there."
De la Cruz said each of the partners and general managers read every survey and comment card that comes in the office.
"We take the feedback seriously and make adjustments where needed," De la Cruz said. "We receive negative comments, lots of praises and menu suggestions. We welcome them all and are appreciative of constructive feedback."

Apple donates $500,000 to help fight poverty in San Francisco
Apple has donated half a million dollars to a San Francisco anti-poverty initiative. The donation, as reported by Fortune, to the SF Gives charity, joins similar donations from other leading Silicon Valley firms like Google and LinkedIn. Apple, like late co-founder Steve Jobs, has been famously quiet about their charitable donations, though they've been opening up under current CEO Tim Cook.
Unlike (Product) Red's global ambitions, SF Gives is much more focused on the San Francisco region, and is aiming to raise $10 million through contributions from 20 local businesses of just $500,000 each — a drop in the bucket for the likes of Apple.
The arrival of an initiative like SF Gives comes at a precarious time for Silicon Valley. Critics of the thriving tech industry have blamed companies for a meteoric rise in rents and increased evictions. In recent months, protesters have blocked Google's employee commuter buses, held a rally at the annual Crunchies tech awards gala, and stood outside the San Francisco home of Google Ventures partner Kevin Rose, distributing flyers and holding signs maligning Rose as a "parasite" and "leech." Many people also complain about the tech industry's limited track record in philanthropy, despite the huge profits generated by some of its biggest names.
Apple's charitable givings have been become more public recently, though they still tend to play their cards close to their vest — Fortune had to cite "sources close to the matter". In 2011, Apple launched a charitable donations matching program for their employees, as well as donating more than $70 million to AID research through (Product) Red.

Apple donates $500,000 to help fight poverty in San Francisco
"SF Gives is much more focused on the San Francisco region, and is aiming to raise $10 million through contributions from 20 local businesses of just $500,000 each"
Sounds like Apple was only asked for half a million.
Well, that's 500 grand wasted. Come back after this money has been "put to use" and there will be just as much poverty in SF as before they started.
Here's a shocker: when people are paid not to work, they won't. Apple's money might be put to a good use but it will disappear because there are far too many other programs working against it. If you want to do some good, spend the money FIRST on getting rid of everything that incentivizes people not to work and THEN pour money into the things that they do once they start working.
The $500,000 Apple spent on this initiative will much farther than if the government donated 100 times as much.

text: Durban - One of the most assuring features of the Sharks' Currie Cup win over the Blue Bulls last weekend was that it was achieved without two of their most important players. According to coach John Plumtree it was no coincidence that it was when Jean Deysel hit his best form in the recent Super 14 that his struggling team experienced a dramatic change of fortune. And it was a similar story in 2008, when Deysel's arrival as a top player coincided with the first Currie Cup title for the Sharks since 1996. A player in the mould of the famous former Natal and Springbok ball hugging flank Wahl Bartmann, Deysel was possibly unlucky to miss out on national selection. His Sharks team-mate, No 8 Ryan Kankowski, is playing out of position on the flank against Australia on Saturday, and many critics are rightfully sceptical about the composition of a back row that now has two really loose players in Kankowski and Spies while Schalk Burger is being expected to change the style of play that has been effective for him all year. What the Boks are missing is a big ball carrier who can operate close to the heavy traffic, and Deysel, had he been present, could have fitted that role. Juan Smith will get his chance to re-establish himself as the blindside flank during the home leg of the Tri-Nations, but the battle to be his back-up will be intense, and the recent failures of the Boks against New Zealand could just open the way for Deysel should he regain his top form in the Currie Cup. Unfortunately for the Sharks his return is still being put at a couple of weeks, but they are welcoming back one big ball carrying forward in former Lions loose forward Willem Alberts for this week's clash with the Pumas. Both Deysel and Alberts were missed against the Bulls, where their ability to carry across the advantage line was sorely needed on those occasions they had to build up beyond eight phases without making enough of an impression on the Bulls' defensive system. Alberts will play off the bench this week, but the Sharks management will be hoping he quickly regains his momentum ahead of the tougher matches that lie in the team's future. The team for the Pumas game is largely unchanged, with Patrick Lambie continuing at centre after making a success of his new position last week and getting another chance there against the Pumas. Sharks: 15. Louis Ludik 14. JP Pietersen 13. Stefan Terblanche (captain) 12. Patrick Lambie 11. Lwazi Mvovo 10. Steve Meyer 9. Charl McLeod 8. Keegan Daniel 7. Michael Rhodes 6. Jacques Botes 5. Alistair Hargreaves 4. Steven Sykes 3. Wiehahn Herbst 2. Craig Burden 1. Patric Cilliers Replacements 16. Kyle Cooper 17. Eugene van Staden 18. Ross Skeate 19. Willem Alberts 20. Rory Kockott, 21. Monty Dumond, 22. Andries Strauss

Press Attends Wheels for Wasabi
[img_assist|nid=867|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=300|height=169]Did you join us on Tantalus to ride Wheels for Wasabi this past Tuesday, October 23rd? If you couldn't make it, it was a great time--the ride attracted about 50 cyclists, climbed at a nice pace, and ended with three super ono flavors of gelato courtesy of Il Gelato. There's nothing like a pineapple kale sorbetto after a good hill climb!
The ride even managed to attract some press. Check out the coverage on both KHON2 and Hawaii News Now.

text: Illamasqua Lover Blush ($23.00) is one of the better blush shades I've tried from Illamasqua since its stateside launch. Lover is an orange-apricot color with a matte finish, but it's matte without being chalky or powdery (which can sometimes be the case with matte blushes!). The color looks smooth and natural with nice color pigmentation. It has rich color that can be layered and built up for greater intensity or used with a light hand for a subtle flush.

My next PET scan is scheduled for next Friday, and I'm glad for it. At the same time, I dread it. Anyone who's been through a cancer scare or cancer battle understands what I'm talking about. You want the reassurance that you're healthy and still cancer-free (or, for some, maintaining your current level of cancer, rather than it increasing). Yet, at the same time, you don't want to hear the results because there might be a chance that you'll hear bad news. Once you've completed your test, your emotions are on a roller coaster until you hear the results. (No news must mean good news, right? Or, why haven't they called - something must be wrong if they haven't called me yet.)
So, I'm on the "before" roller coaster of this round of PET scanning. I'm happy to be checked out (hey, let's get anything in the early stages) and yet, what if they DO find something. And that's what I get mad. BRING IT, cancer. Beat you once. I'll kick your ass again. (grinning wickedly)
I try not to live my life scan to scan, but it's an inevitable thing. Once you are in remission, most people's expectations are that your life will return to normal. For those not having gone through this battle, normal means "before cancer" normal. For those of us on the other side of that life-changing event, normal becomes relative. What's normal on Monday might not be normal on Friday. You get used to being happy with what you have on a given day, and learn to make the best of whatever life throws at you.
Today, normal for me means living in anticipation of my PET scan next week. It means wondering if this cold that I'm fighting for the fourth time since October means that my cancer has spread to my lungs, and I'll get horrific news when I see Dr. O. on the 21st. It means wondering if I'll be able to have another 6 months of not worrying, or if this will be the start of another battle.
Until next Friday rolls around, I'll continue living this version of normal. And, I'll enjoy it. I started working at Lowe's last weekend - it's exhausting, but I think it's the right thing to do. I miss my children terribly, and I wish Levi and I had more time together. But, I'm here. Some days, that's enough.
(rolling shoulders) Whatever next week brings, I'm ready. (triumphant music fade-out....)

I hear ya about the "new normal", and it sure isn't anything like the before normal.
We find out our PET scan results tomorrow and I am a bit worried myself.
Good luck with your scan!

In 1888, he enrolled at the Sanborn Seminary in Kingston, New Hampshire, becoming a member of the first graduating class in 1890 which consisted of three girls and two boys. The seminary was a preparatory school for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, then known as Boston Tech). It was there he met Allyne L. Merrill, an 1885 MIT graduate who helped Prescott enroll there in the fall of 1890.
Prescott graduated with a S.B. degree in chemistry in 1894 after he wrote his senior research thesis entitled "Salt as Nutrients for Bacteria". The thesis was 37 pages long and handwritten. With the help of Sedgwick, chair of the Biology department at MIT, Prescott found his first position as an Assistant Chemist and Biologist at the wastewater treatment facility in Worcester, Massachusetts where he worked for the rest of 1894 and part of 1895.
From late 1895 to late 1896, Prescott and Underwood worked on the problem every afternoon, specifically on canned clams, and discovered that the clams contained some heat-resistant bacterial spores that were able to survive the processing. Eventually, both men were able to determine that the clam's living environment also determined that if the bacteria was available and further found that the organisms could be killed if processed at 250 oF (121 oC) for ten minutes in a retort.
The processing time-temperature studies also led to research of processing time-temperature studies of canned lobster, sardines, peas, tomatoes, corn, and spinach. Prescott and Underwood's work was first published in late 1896 with follow-up papers done from 1897 to 1926 This research, though important to the growth of food technology, was never patented. It would also pave the way for thermal death time research that was pioneered by Bigelow and C. Olin Ball from 1921 to 1936.
His research would continue from 1910 to 1921 into banana fungal disease in Costa Rica in 1917 and 1918 that would lead to a disease-resistant banana. During World War I, Prescott also was commissioned a United States Army Major in the Sanitary Commission of the Army medical department regarding the dehydration of food supplied to soldiers on the front line during the war. Serving from 1917 to 1919, Prescott received an honorable discharge and would actively serve in the United States Army Reserve until 1936 where he retired at the rank of Colonel.
Student recruitment would also increase, including the recruitment of future food scientists such as Philip K. Bates, Samuel A. Goldblith, and Bernard E. Proctor from the 1920s until 1940. When MIT underwent a reorganization following President Samuel Wesley Stratton's death in 1931, the new president Karl Taylor Compton selected Prescott as the first dean of MIT's School of Science the following year, a role Prescott would serve until his retirement in 1942; in the meantime, he would continue his role as head of the Biology and Public Health Departments, including continuing his food technology research.
The United States Department of Agriculture was also interested in food technology and research was also being done at agricultural colleges in the United States, including MIT, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of California, Berkeley.
By 1935, both Prescott and Proctor (now on the MIT faculty) decided that it was time to hold an international conference regarding this. A detailed proposal was presented to MIT President Compton in 1936 was presented with $1500 of financial aid from MIT for a meeting to be held from June 30-July 2 1937 with Compton asking how many people would be in attendance at this meeting. Prescott replied with "fifty or sixty people." 500 people actually attended the event.
This meeting proved so successful that in early 1938 that a second conference would be held in 1939. Initially led by George J. Hucker of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station (part of Cornell University) in Geneva, New York, a small group meeting was held on August 5, 1938 on forming an organization with an expanded group meeting in New York City on January 16, 1939 to further discuss this. The second conference was held at MIT June 29 to July 1 1939 with Proctor as conference chair. 600 people attended this event.
At the final session, the chairman of the session Fred C. Blanck of the United States Department of Agriculture, proposed that an organization be established as the Institute of Food Technologists. This was approved unanimously. Its first officers were Prescott as President, Roy C. Newton of Swift & Company in Chicago, Illinois as Vice President, and Hucker as Secretary-Treasurer. By 1949, IFT had 3,000 members. Prescott was chosen as the first president because of his previous positions as presidents of two other professional organizations: the Society of American Bacteriologists in 1919 and the American Public Health Association in 1927-8
The Institute of Food Technologists established the Samuel Cate Prescott Award in 1964 to honor young researchers in food science and technology for those who are under 36 years of age or who are a maximum ten years after earning their highest degree whichever is later. An Underwood Professorship was established in 1969 with an Underwood-Prescott Professorship followed up in 1972. Three MIT faculty have held this professorship since it inception: Samuel A. Goldblith, Gerald N. Wogan, and since 1996, Steven R. Tannenbaum.

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) October 18, 2012
Romney has the better personality match to the Ohio swing voters, so his message will resonate more, and PYCO predicts they'll give him the victory in Ohio this November.
At PYCO, they use science and technology to predict how people behave, based upon their psychological type preferences. They then apply this to various scenarios, like buying a luxury watch, taking a cruise around the world, requesting a home loan, buying antioxidant drinks, and even voting.
In the case of Ohio, a key swing state in the 2012 US Presidential elections, they've predicted Mitt Romney to win. His message and his preferred psychological type (aka personality) match better with the predominant psychological type of the swing voters of Ohio. They find that based on psychological type preferences of 8.7 million Ohio adults, the percentage who'll connect with:
44.66%—Mitt Romney
36.08%—Barack Obama
How the 19.26% will vote in Ohio? The Swing voters will continue to process new information up until the vote. The past two debates, certainly impact the ultimate decision the swing voter makes. While pundits state which candidate won which debate, PYCO analyzes the messages and ways each candidate communicates. After the first two debates out of three, its clear Romney's communicate style and message better matches the psychological type of swing voters.
Their view of the debates:
1st Debate: It was very clear that Romney won the 1st debate. Mr. Romney aligned himself well with the swing voters in Ohio. His style, manners, approaches, and his sharing of past achievements connected very well with these swing voters in Ohio.
Biden vs. Ryan: It was a draw. Biden could have won the debate if he had controlled his demeanor.
2nd Debate: Mr. Obama won the 2nd debate. But, not by a big margin, unlike Mr. Romney's 1st debate win. The swing voters will continue to observe, listen, and monitor these candidates, but Romney still has the winning vote.
About Ohio Voters
From the psychological type perspective, the people of Ohio score high on Sensing (17.04% higher than the whole US pop). This means that the majority of people want to see the "here-and-now" solutions and not the future possibilities. In addition, there are many Ohioans with SJ (Sensing+Judging) Temperament (17.84% higher than the national average).
How to Connect and Communicate with Ohio Voters
Tips to get NT+SJ people (or swing voters) in OH:
How does PYCO match the candidates psychological type to the voter's of Ohio? It uses a proprietary algorithm that processes publicly available data and outputs psychological type. It's done this on 181 million US Adults to date. Grouping the voter's of Ohio, it analyzed them and matched to its predictions of the two candidates.
PYCO's view on Psychological Type of Mr. Mitt Romney
He is dependable, conscientious, decisive, practical, organized, and committed in fulfilling his obligations. He is faithful and places strong emphasis on loyalty, authority, family, and tradition.
Mr. Romney's Predicted Leadership Type
PYCO's view on Psychological Type of Mr. Barak Obama
He is practical, organized, structured, decisive, sets high standards (based on personal set of beliefs) and fulfills his duties. He is faithful and values tradition, security, stability, and social order.
Mr. Obama's Predicted Leadership Type

With ultrabooks proving increasingly popular with the buying public, Apple is reportedly considering unleashing a cheaper MacBook Air to grab a share of the market.
According to DigiTimes, Apple may release a $799 ($A785) MacBook Air in the third quarter of this year, anticipating the launch of $A686 Intel-powered ultrabooks. The MacBook Air range currently starts at $A1350, a premium price tag likely to put off a large section of customers who'd otherwise appreciate the device's portability and svelte form.
Intel recently released its new line of Ivy Bridge processors, to be included in PCs and laptops from the likes of HP, Dell, Samsung and Lenovo.

Ryan Gosling with his dog George, wearing a sock on his "Hot Spot."
Oh, audience, we have been given a beautiful gift. That's because the carrier of man's most perfect DNA Ryan Gosling appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and the best part? He's sockless. The second best part? He's there with his equally famous dog named George, who IS wearing a sock. George is a literal genius who barks when you speak to him and only eats apples and wears a single red sock. In other words, these two must slow dance all the time.
Gosling is there to promote his new movie Crazy, Stupid Love, and while there is a lot to love about this entire interview, it's the story he shares about his time at a Turkish Bathhouse that we are labeling as "Must See Internet TV." If only to picture a naked Ryan Gosling getting oiled down by a large, hairy Turkish dude. And then how he licked that man's stomach. It's a little nauseating, but if you swap "Turkish Man" with an image of yourself hog-tying the guy up on a massage table, believe me, this free video pays back for itself in no time.
Quick Question: Gosling is Canadian, right? Just wondering why he's starting to sound like a Goodfellas extra… He just moved to New York, but Rye-sies, you don't have to sounds like you're from Bensonhurst to get people to respect you! I mean… don't get me wrong… it's perfect.

People's Critic: Film Reviews
This blog is my look at movies, pop culture and entertainment. It's a blog by the people that speaks for the people who love entertainment. I love to write and to share my opinion. Hope you enjoy what I have to say.
Review: Terminator Genysis
Terminator Genysis is the fifth installment in the Terminator series. Making a five of anything is hard to do and even harder in film. For every Fast Five there's at least four times as many Seed of Chucky, Rocky V, or Resident Evil: Retributions waiting to happen. Terminator Genisys had hopes of being Fast Five, […] [Read More]
Review: Magic Mike XXL
It was only three years ago that Mike and his crew of exotic dancers were a surprise box office hit. The film – inspired by Channing Tatum's brief time as a stripper – bump, sweated, and grinded its way to a $39 million opening weekend and eventually $167 million worldwide. That's quite the return on […] [Read More]
Review: The Overnight
Navigating awkward conversations with people is one thing, awkward dinner dates are an entirely different animal. Patrick Brice's newest film, The Overnight, is the world's most awkward dinner date on steroids. The Overnight also puts a humorous spotlight on adults making friends, relationships, and acceptance. Shortly after Alex (Adam Scott) and Emily (Taylor Schilling) move […] [Read More]

The three friends enjoy a list of non-black activities, practice their band songs in an empty classroom at […] [Read More]
Review: Inside Out
After batting 1.000 with their first 10 films, Pixar's next four – Toy Story 3, Cars 2, Brave, Monsters University – were not as well received. This isn't to say those films were bad, they were Pixar films being compared to great Pixar films. Some would say they were doomed for bad reviews before production […] [Read More]
Interview: Pete Docter and Jonas Rivera – Inside Out
I sat down with Matt Oakes from Silver Screen Riot to talk with Director Pete Docter (Up, Monsters Inc) and Producer Jonas Rivera (Up) about Pixar's latest feature Inside Out.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by LadyMantis Super comfy! I am planning on living in this shirt as long as it doesn't get too hot. It is so comfy I want to wear it every day!!! 3.22.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by lucy-page Underwhelming My expectations for this item were probably a bit high, so the first time I wore it, I really hated it. The second time was different. The quality is fantastic - I've noticed this with everything I've bought from Free People, it is so comfortable to wear. But this shirt is sort of odd - I feel like the high-low hem doesn't really add anything to the piece, and as I'm 5'11 the sides are too high for me to wear without showing some skin, so I'll need to wear a cami underneath. I'd return it, but I really do love the colour (bought the red/tea combo) and I know it'll help keep me warm while I study. My advice: if you want something super comfortable, warm, ultra-casual and slouchy, this is a good buy. Avoid if you're tall and don't want to be tugging the hem down all the time to cover up. 5.17.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KelsVanGough Saaahhh Comfy Buy two. Then you can still wear it while you wash the other !! I'm normally a medium, but with this top, I'm a small. The sleeves are just the right length on me so I can snuggle my hands inside when it's cold. The cut is a little awkward if wearing it with low sitting jeans. If (like me) you don't like to show your tummy when you lift your hands above your head, high rise jeans are the way to go. Definitely worth buying if you're in need of some casual 'casually awesome' wear. I have this top in both colours, both are pretty versatile. Fun to wear. I Love love love them! 8.29.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by nicoleeeee snuggs I got the olive and black combo. It really compliments my skin.. i'm darker. It looks like athermal but feels softer than other thermals free people have produced. I really love it. the cut can be awkward on some beware-short girls. I usually wear a Large in these type of FP tops but a Medium was just as fine! 6.3.2013

Community Comes Together to Celebrate GenTX Day
Tuesday, May 7, 2013
As the 5 o'clock news hour approached, attendees of the Third Annual GenTX Day celebration at Texas State Technical College rushed to find a spot inside a giant outline of the state of Texas on the lawn of the Service Support Center on Friday May 3.
A photo of the state outline filled in with people was taken to commemorate GenTX Day and KGBT TV Channel 4 provided live shots from the event. It was a successful photo, and more importantly, a successful event according to Director of Student Recruitment Dora Olivares.
"We celebrated all week," Olivares said. "We had tours on campus and we had great spots on Channel 4 all week too. It was nice to get everyone out here and celebrate with us. We had other colleges and universities out here and students signed pledge cards (to attend college). We were also able to showcase some of our programs. It was just wonderful to see everyone come together for such a great initiative."
In 2011, GenTX Day was celebrated only in Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio as it was still a pilot program. By 2012, celebrations were encouraged throughout the state and at TSTC a photo was taken to commemorate the day.
This year's event took more planning as food and drinks were provided to the attendees. TSTC invited area colleges and universities along with business partners and school districts to make the event a success.
Approximately 500 people attended GenTx Day at TSTC. It was the college's first full-fledged effort to celebrate GenTX Day. The GenTX movement was created by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board three years ago to get a conversation started about going to college. People are encouraged to wear college T-shirts on GenTX day. This year the Coordinating Board urged supporters of GenTX to take at least one of three steps towards college on GenTX Day:
"This year we took it upon ourselves to host this big event," Olivares said. "We partnered up with local media and school districts to make sure this was a great event. It was nice to see everyone on board."
Local Generation TX coordinator Martha L. Gutierrez said encouraging students to attend college starts at a young age.
"It's not just about reaching students at the secondary level," Gutierrez said. "We need to get student s to start thinking about college at an early age. We've held several college pep rallies at elementary schools in Harlingen and this is just another way to reach students."
TSTC organizers say they look forward to a bigger and better event in 2014.

Founded in 1885, the School of Mines prepares leaders in science and engineering for the challenges of the twenty-first century at a price families can afford.
From geology and mining engineering to particle physics and chemistry, our graduates are in high demand. They have a sound foundation in their field and most have real world experience to make them highly competitive for the best paying jobs in America. Ninety-eight percent of our undergraduates have a job or a place in graduate school upon graduation at an average early-career salary of $65,600. That's better than Harvard. And, on average, our graduates start their professional careers less than $25,000 in college loan debt.
Mines offers demanding, engaged education with a 14:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Students are known and closely mentored by their professors, and over 90 percent of them have valuable internship, co-op, or undergraduate research experience.
The School of Mines is also an important economic engine for the State of South Dakota. We conduct research and partner with the community to strengthen economic development in the Rushmore Region.
Driven by The Pursuit of Excellence: Mines Strategic Plan, we're forging an ambitious path forward. We are increasing enrollment to 3,000 students; sustaining placement rates of 96 percent or higher; increasing annual research awards; and recruiting and retaining exceptional faculty and staff.
If you want to prepare yourself for a life of leadership in science and engineering, if you want great education at a school that will know your name, come to Mines.
Go Hardrockers!

William's usage of that second "@" is a bit eccentric, and I must admit
that my eyes failed to parse it. Yes, that's ye olde zonefile rendition
of "root@localhost".
Which (unless redirected to an out-of-band address through other means
such as a system aliases file) is an extremely poor idea, in my
experience. My policy is to have all technical and administrative
contexts for a zonefile not depend on that zonefile being in service.

Not really. Some people choose XML-based formats for this reason. For
example, DocBook can be typeset using an XML-to-LaTeX toolchain and edited
with some GUI tools. But I am not a fan of XML/SGML so I don't use any of
this stuff. If you are interested in an XML approach I suggest Tbook
(tbookdtd.sourceforge.net) instead of DocBook --- it is easier on the
fingers than DocBook.
In my opinion, a wiki is the best system for collaborative writing ever
developed. Wiki markup might be tool limited for a scientific paper, though.
There are some tools listed on freshmeat that convert wiki markup into

As recently as March, Mississippi legislators had planned to cut funding for several state services, including education, mental health, and libraries. Ginny Holtcamp, director of the Starkville Public Library, said the proposed cuts would have reduced the Mississippi Library CommissionŌĆÖs budget by about $2 million.
ŌĆ£This would impact all libraries in our state as we all receive a portion of our budget┬Āthrough grants from MLC, and also, MLC provides funding for our huge periodicals database, Magnolia.┬Ā However the end result of all of this is that MLC funds were not cut and were funded at the 2011 levels.┬Ā Libraries are urged to thank all of our legislators for this effort and knowledge that our libraries provide essential services to our patrons.ŌĆØ
With this bullet dodged, Mississippi libraries have something to celebrate this National Library Week, set for April 10-16. The Starkville Public Library, in particular, celebrates new Kindles, Nooks, and E-readers available for checkout, thanks to a Library Services and Technology Act grant from MLC.
Yet, Holtcamp says the library still needs more financial aid from its primary funders, the city and county governments. She said the library currently receives $160,000 from each, but itŌĆÖs been five years since the last funding increase from the county and two years since the last one from the city.
ŌĆ£This year we hope that our libraries will receive a much-needed increase,ŌĆØ Holtcamp said. ŌĆ£With costs of books and materials rising always, our libraries need increases on a regular basis just to keep up. Otherwise, each year we purchase less and less, thus our communities fall behind in being able to provide information that customers need and want.ŌĆØ
Holtcamp said it was important for citizens and lawmakers to remember that libraries provide more than selections of books, periodicals, and other media.
ŌĆ£We provide job searches, job applications and tax forms, just to name a few services that no one else provides our community,ŌĆØ Holtcamp said.┬ĀŌĆ£Libraries are the great equalizer for our communities.ŌĆØ
Ward 4 Alderman Richard Corey said libraries were far from alone in their budget issues.
ŌĆ£I know that when we looked at our budget last time, we had to be very fiscally conservative across all our outside contributions,ŌĆØ Corey said. ŌĆ£It wasnŌĆÖt just libraries that were kept at previous yearsŌĆÖ funding.ŌĆØ
District 2 Supervisor Orlando Trainer also said with so many projects in need of funding on a budget tightened by AmericaŌĆÖs economic recession, the county was unlikely to increase funding without support from the entire Board of Supervisors. He said he deeply appreciated the libraryŌĆÖs services, and his wife had spent 3-4 years working there.
ŌĆ£The only things that weŌĆÖve been able to increase services for are things that weŌĆÖve been required to by law,ŌĆØ Trainer said. ŌĆ£Things like employee insurance, those are some prices we couldnŌĆÖt control. Materials and equipment for road construction, those are prices we canŌĆÖt control.ŌĆØ
Holtcamp said the citizens of Starkville could help the library as well, by donating to and joining Friends of the Library. She said they contribute not only monetarily, but also through volunteering and advocacy to aldermen and county supervisors.
ŌĆ£Friends are a tremendous asset to this library and contribute in many, many ways, supporting programs, providing childrens and teen programs and materials, and matching funds to enable the library to receive grants,ŌĆØ Holtcamp said.┬ĀŌĆ£Our community supports our Friends wholeheartedly - we are fortunate to have such a strong and viable Friends of the Library.ŌĆØ
Cathy Kemp, a member of the libraryŌĆÖs board, said it also helped for more people to visit and use the library, even though its services are free.
ŌĆ£It just increases awareness,ŌĆØ Kemp said. ŌĆ£Since we are publicly funded, the more people are active in this, the more theyŌĆÖre willing to speak to elected officials to say, ŌĆśYes, we need this service.ŌĆÖŌĆØ

Potheads (Dave Chappelle, Guillermo Diaz, Jim Breuer) sell marijuana to raise bail for a fellow stoner who accidentally killed a horse.
Paul Vasquez (Hungrybear9562) saw a double rainbow from his yard in Yosemite National Park and decided to grab his video camera to record the meteorological phenomenon. Interesting enough, but not the sort of thing set to become a YouTube hit, let alone one that inspires a song. The video's true value — and reason for its viral success — is this dude's reaction to seeing the double rainbow.
Here at Reelz, we're split. The cynics say it's a shrewd attempt at grabbing an audience, perhaps even an audition tape of sorts; while the romantics simply see a burly-man broken down to his rawest emotions by nature's beauty. One thing we can agree on is that odds are good Hungrybear9562's screen de plume might hint at a certain recreational habit. Which got us thinking it might be fun to do a little re-casting, especially given Hollywood's relentless release of sequels and remakes. Here, then, are 10 stoner movies we could totally see remade with a role tailored for Mr. Double Rainbow.

I first saw X in the summer of 1982 at the old Guthrie Theater. It was a fun show but since it was at the Guthrie, the ushers wouldn't allow anyone to get up and move, which was a bummer. The Guthrie was trying to be all cutting edge and stuff but not that cutting edge.
I first came across X in the movie Decline of Western Civilization, which chronicled the late 70's, early 80's L.A. punk scene. The interviewer asked John Doe why their songs were so dark and depressing and he responded that life is dark and depressing and it's not all fun fun fun until her daddy took her T-bird away.
This video is from the early 80's when Letterman actually had some cool bands from time to time. The first song is o.k. but the interview is funny. X then finishes with a blistering version of Breathless. Enjoy.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - China Eastern Airlines has ordered Rockwell Collins avionics for 50 new Airbus A320 aircraft.
The order includes at least nine separate Rockwell Collins systems, including WXR-2100 MultiScan Threat Detection System, GLU-925 Multi-Mode Receiver and ADF-900 Automatic Direction Finder.
The equipment will enable the A320s to fly more precise routes while avoiding inclement weather, according to T.C. Chan, Rockwell Collins vice president and managing director, Asia Pacific. He said that's becoming more important as China's aviation infrastructure evolves and airline traffic increases in the region."

289 Hi-Po Engine ID Guide
Easy guide to build or buy a 289 Hi-po
Reciprocating AssemblyThere are some differences in the connecting rods, crankshaft, and pistons used in the Hi-Po 289's assembly. Let's start with the crankshaft. It has been reported time and again that the Hi-Po's crank was nothing more than a cherry-picked stock crank, inspected and deemed "perfect" for use with the higher revving Hi-Po. While this was true for the block casting, the crankshaft was indeed a revised part for Hi-Po use. According to Bob Mannel's excellent book, the Hi-Po cranks were made in batches with higher levels of nickel and magnesium added to stock 289 crankshafts (they did use the stock casting mold as well). This would give the crankshaft increased nodularity, but it was far from an exact science. As such, each Hi-Po crankshaft from these small runs was checked visually. The rear counterweight was polished and then checked with a microscope. If the crankshaft had enough spherical graphite nodules in a specific measured area, it was deemed to have a "high nodular content" and was used for Hi-Po assembly. Ford also added a small "hatchet" shaped counterweight to the front of the crankshaft to move the counter balancing closer to the core of the engine, which necessitated a thinner timing chain.
The connecting rods and pistons are much simpler. Ford used the standard 289 connecting rod molds to make the Hi-Po rods. As such, you'll see standard C3AE or C3AE-D markings, but where the difference will be found is in the machining, rod cap, and the fasteners. The Hi-Po rod, due to its larger 3/8-inch retaining bolt, had less material removed from the side of the rod during machining. Ford also used a beefier rod cap for the larger rod nut to seat on and to handle the engine's expected 6,000 rpm. The Hi-Po's pistons were specific to the engine, cast from high-strength aluminum for high compression use and with four valve reliefs to accept the high-lift camshaft. While similar to the later A-code 289 piston, which also had four valve reliefs, the Hi-Po's casting number was different. A Hi-Po piston will have a C4OE-A number while the A-code will have a C5OE-H (both with a 6110 base number).
There's certainly a lot going on in the Hi-Po's valvetrain area. Starting with a solid-lifter camshaft, Ford also used mechanical lifters (natch), valve springs with fewer coils than standard 289 springs to prevent coil bind at high lift, a flat-wound damper spring inside the valve spring, special hardened retainers, and thicker camshaft thrust plate (before Level 7 engine change) to reduce flexing/distortion of the cam and its higher loading and rpm. Due to the thicker thrust plate, the cam timing gear had to be reduced in thickness to maintain overall dimensions under the timing cover (just like the crank gear mentioned previously). With the thinner crank and cam timing gears, Ford fitted a thinner timing chain to match.
This timing chain measured 13/32-inch thick versus the regular 289's 1/2-inch wide chain. Using the wrong combination of gears, chain, and thrust plate will cause wear on the "hatchet" counterweight or even timing cover wear/damage. To confuse things further, Ford used two different cam gears in the timing set. Early Hi-Pos (before Level 7 engine change) used an iron gear; while from March 1965 on, the gear was aluminum with nylon teeth. The iron gear used an additional C-shaped spacer to properly locate the gear on the camshaft, while the aluminum gear has the spacer cast in. In a nutshell, use the iron gear, spacer, and thicker thrust plate together, or use the aluminum gear, no spacer, and standard thrust plate together. Do not mix the combinations.

In preparation for their session with Attorney General Janet Reno, participants were asked to identify actions that should
be taken to deal more effectively with elder abuse.
Dr. Rosalie Wolf, executive director of the Institute on Aging at University of Massachusetts Memorial healthcare, echoed
the suggestions for establishment of a national forensic center on elder abuse and neglect to be followed later by regional
Dr. Patricia McFeeley, assistant chief medical investigator at the University of New Mexico, highlighted the fact that there
already exist crime labs and regional forensic centers that could be used in elder abuse investigations.
Lisa Nerenberg, a consultant in private practice in Redwood City, California, suggested that an online database would help
people working in the field to share ideas.
Dr. William Hauda, adult services medical director at the INOVA Fact Center in Falls Church, Virginia, suggested that such
a database could be a clearinghouse where people with particular expertise could disseminate information and materials on
program design and assist law enforcement with the development of elder abuse cases.
Candace Heisler, a consultant and former prosecutor with the San Francisco District Attorney's Office, said the database should
contain information on current programs dealing with elder abuse and neglect from around the country, with contact people
and resource materials identified.
Dr. Erik Lindbloom, assistant professor of family medicine at the University of Missouri, stressed the importance of cross-disciplinary
education among law enforcement, the medical profession, social workers, and APS to ensure that the necessary information
is available for the prosecution of elder abuse and neglect cases.
Dr. Laura Mosqueda, director of geriatrics at the University of California-Irvine Medical Center, pledged to work through
the American Geriatric Society to provide more training for service providers and to evaluate the effectiveness of that training.
Ms. Susan Renz, a nurse and consultant with RS Connection Inc., emphasized the need to develop curricula in nursing, social
work, and medical schools that focuses more on elder abuse and neglect.
Dr. Carl Eisdorfer, a professor with the University of Miami Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, suggested a
joint program between physicians and law students involving issues such as involuntary commitment, among other topics. Through
the Miami Area Geriatric Center, a national network, Dr. Eisdorfer said he also would work to develop a series of short courses
to help put elder abuse and neglect on the national agenda. In addition, he suggested working with residency programs to include
elder abuse issues at the "bedside."
To institutionalize the momentum of this conference, Dr. Catherine Hawes, a professor at Texas A&M University's School of
Rural Public Health, suggested that the Department of Justice establish a permanent task force to deal with elder justice.
Dr. Hawes pledged to designate elder abuse as a priority of the School of Rural Public Health through the Healthy People 2010
program. Through this program, they would identify best practices and assist health departments in addressing the issue.
The importance of developing a constituency around this issue was highlighted by Dr. Karl Pillemer, professor at Cornell University's
Department of Human Development. He suggested that prominent figures, such as Attorney General Reno, speak out about elder
abuse. Documenting the cost and prevalence of such abuse also might force the issue farther up on the agenda.
And Dr. Hauda noted that the State of Virginia has enacted legislation that will pay for any evaluation of a person who has
been a victim of a crime, and that a panel is being formed to establish guidelines for adult victims. The process may take
as long as 2 years, but it is an opportunity to obtain existing funding.
Dr. Sidney Stahl, chief, healthcare Organizations and Social Institutions at the National Institute on Aging, suggested conducting
an analysis in collaboration with the social research community on elder abuse and neglect regarding interventions that work.
Dr. Hawes described two projects that she is undertaking for the healthcare Financing Administration (HCFA) on complaint investigation
and the use of the nurse's aide registry to prevent abuse and neglect. The reports should be published in summer 2001.
According to Ms. Joanne Otto, APS administrator with the Colorado Department of Human Services, the National Association of
Adult Protective Services Administrators (NAAPSA) will be conducting a study on APS in the United States. She asked for feedback
from participants on the gaps in their States or regions.

Only a small fraction of the existing space debris population is detectable and tracked by ground systems. A smaller fraction is catalogued by special programs and/or departments of national space agencies. This is where statistics comes into play. Numerous models have been created in order to assess present collision risks associated with certain orbits and to predict future evolution of the debris environment around Earth.

In April 1984, the Space Shuttle Challenger placed into low Earth orbit a NASA spacecraft carrying a number of experiments for the purpose of characterizing the low Earth orbit environment. The spacecraft, the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF), was a twelve-sided cylindrical structure and three-axis stabilized in order to ensure an accurate environmental exposure.

Posted on 2011-01-21
Space debris, also known as orbital debris, consist of artificial objects in orbit around Earth that no longer serve any useful purpose. Most of the space debris population consists of fragments resulted from explosions and collisions, but some are spent rocket stages and satellites that are no longer operational.
Sustainability in LEO: A Short History

Posted on 2011-01-14
The adventure started on October 4, 1957, when the former Soviet Union successfully launched the first artificial satellite, Sputnik-1, using a rocket that was a modified Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICMB). Even if the political implications at that time were very important, as the launch ignited the Space Race within the Cold War, we can argue that the scientific accomplishments were more significant.

Disruptive Technologies In The Space Industry
Posted on 2012-05-17
Posted on 2012-05-17
Disruptive technology is a very bizarre (and scary) concept, but it is not a bizarre or scary idea. The concept was introduced by Clayton Christensen. In one of his books, The Innovator's Dilemma, The Revolutionary Book That Will Change the Way You Do Business, Christensen proves that, under certain circumstances, companies that do things right can lose their market share or even get out of business. He also presents a set of rules that can help companies capitalizing on disruptive innovation. While I am not trying to give a lecture on economics, I would like to understand how to apply (if possible) the principles of disruptive technologies to the space industry. A very good example is quite at hand… SpaceX.

The 140 companies and organizations listed in the Canadian Space Directory generated $3.44 billion CDN in revenue and employed over 8000 Canadians in 2010, according to the 2010 State of the Canadian Space Sector Report. These firms support the technologies required for weather forecasting, remote sensing, GPS systems, satellite and cable television, remote phone communication systems and even our Canadian astronautcorps. But this infrastructure is in a state of crisis. What must we do to protect, support and grow this disparate group of private and public organizations, capabilities and supporting infrastructure?

When Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921, he did not receive it for his contributions to the understanding of gravity through his theory of relativity… actually he received it for a paper he wrote in annus mirabilis 1905 on the law of the photoelectric effect. At that time, relativity and the new perspective on gravity offered by Einstein's theory was so controversial that the Nobel Prize Committee members chose to protect their reputations and felt that it would be appropriate to award Einstein the Nobel Prize for "his services to theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". One hundred years later, the theory of relativity is part of second-year University curriculum and reputations are safe.

Juno is a NASA spacecraft scheduled to start its journey to Jupiter in a few days. Juno will help scientists understand the origin and evolution of Jupiter. While the dense cover of clouds helps Jupiter keep its secrets away from Earth observers, Juno will get close enough to Jupiter so that fundamental processes and conditions characteristic to the early solar system will be revealed.
