"Never let anyone have power over your worth ... never let anyone control your voice."
August 4, 2014
It's humbling to know that one voice in a small town in Wilmington, NC, can reach so many people around the world and have a global effect. It creates a ripple effect of positive energy, education and enlightenment. I'm really humbled to know that people are actually receptive to the message I'm trying to convey and people are listening, so that makes me feel like this blog is actually worth it.
May 20, 2014
I can honestly say that since my video that I posted in January, I've really come out of my shell and noticed that people aren't nearly as bad as what I thought they were. People don't always react the worst way possible. People are actually human beings.
April 9, 2014
Sometimes all it takes is hearing a story that you connect with to realize that everything is going to be OK. I want to make sure everyone knows that you are not defined by your disease and that there's so much more, and that you are still you.

Do you want to join the network as a museum? Then you should feel very welcome!
Before doing so, please read The Operational Guidelines carefully.
Then contact network-manager Ulrika Mebus at email@example.com
BALTMUS Annual Network Forum 4th - 8th April 2018 in Gdynia City Museum.
The 2018 Annual Forum of Network of Museums took place in Gdynia City Museum between April 4th and April 8th, 2018. This forum marks the beginning of three-year presidency period for Gdynia City Museum. The task of coordinating the operations of the network bring excitement and expectation of an interesting challenge.
Forum gathered 32 representatives of 11 of the institutions gathered in the Network and five local museums. The first day of the Forum was devoted to the host institution. Our guest were given a curatorial tour of the exhibition "Gdynia – an Open Work", the core exhibition of Gdynia City Museum. The tour was conducted by Ms. Agata Abramowicz, the Deputy Director of the Museum and one of the curators of the core exhibition. Later they took part in the opening event of the exhibition "Co Widzisz?" (What Do You See?), which uses a great selection from the vast photo collections of Gdynia City Museum to illustrate various roles of photography and the types of human perception. During the event the members of the forum were greeted by the Director of Gdynia City Museum, Dr. Jacek Friedrich, and the Deputy Mayor of Gdynia, Ms. Katarzyna Gruszecka-Spychała.
The second day, Friday 6th April, was devoted to the conference. First Dr. Łukasz Jasiński presented the international exchange framework entitled "Common Sea – Common Museums", aimed at promoting peer-to-peer exchanges between the member institutions of the Network. Further discussions concentrated on two key subjects, pre-selected by the guest in an online query: Art, history, education – how to achieve synergy between different activities? And How to appeal to the visitors? In the ensuing discussions the members of the Forum agreed that while multiplying various programs aimed at attracting more visitors to the museums is effective, sometimes it might result in heavy pressure on the museum workers. During the conference Ms. Ulrika Mebus (Gotland Museum), who had coordinated the Network, presented the annual report of the forum and a few remarks of encouragement to the new coordinators from Gdynia.
On Saturday 7th April the members of the conference were invited to join a workshop on the "What Do You See?" exhibition, conducted by its curator, Ms. Agnieszka Pajączkowska. Our guests were given a unique insight into the aims of the exhibition and were encouraged to provide their insights on various elements of the exhibition. Later the group travelled to Gdańsk to visit the European Solidarity Centre, located on the site of the Gdańsk Shipyard famous from workers' protests against Communist oppression in 1980.
Sunday, 8th April was an extra-curricular day for some of the guests. The programme included a visit in the Emigration Museum in Gdynia, where a curatorial tour was given by Dr. Michalina Petelska, one of the creators of the exhibition. The visit in this modern, narrative museum marked the end of the Annual Forum in Gdynia.
Gdynia City Museum takes the three-year presidency of the Network. We do hope that the success of the April Forum will be a good omen for the next tree years of Forum's operations.
European Year of Cultural heritage 2018
Council and European Parliament have decided establishing a European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018.
Cultural heritage encompasses resources from the past in a variety of forms and aspects.
The aim of this initiative is to raise awareness of European history and values and to strengthen a sense of European identity. At the same time, it draws attention to the opportunities offered by our cultural heritage, but also to the challenges it faces.
The United Nation has designated 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development.
This is a unique opportunity to raise awareness of the contribution of sustainable tourism to development among public and private sector decision-makers and the public, while mobilizing all stakeholders to work together in making tourism a catalyst for positive change. The museums are very imoprtant actors in this respect!

EMU police: Surveillance video led to discovery of false armed robbery report
The Eastern Michigan University student who falsely claimed he was robbed at gunpoint Friday evening on campus retracted his statement Saturday after police revealed there was no surveillance footage showing the robbery, said EMU Police Chief Bob Heighes.
Courtesy EMU
"We re-interviewd the victim and some of the information he shared with us did not coincide with what we had on our video cameras," Heighes said. "When that was shared with him, he retracted his statement."
Police posted a crime alert Friday after the 21-year-old student reported he was robbed by four men with a handgun at about 6:30 p.m. in the Green Lot, on the northern edge of campus near Huron River Drive.
The student told police the men demanded his money and he gave them his wallet. The student said he was punched in the face before the men fled.
Heighes said the parking lot has several cameras and none of the footage backed the student's claims of being robbed. Heighes declined to share the reason the student made the false claim.
"Those are the kind of details I don't want to get into until after we take it to the prosecutor," Heighes said.
Heighes said the report was forwarded to the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's office for review Monday and he isn't sure when the review will take place. Authorities are not yet releasing the student's name.
If the prosecutor moves forward with the case, the student would likely face charges for filing a false police report and Heighes said the university will seek sanctions as well.
The Student Conduct and Community Standards office has reached out to the student to schedule a meeting, Heighes said. The student could face dismissal from the university.
Heighes said his office doesn't receive false reports often, but when he does, it's something that is taken seriously.
"False reports are a drain on (everyone's) resources and something we actively pursue with the prosecutor," Heighes said. "These are serious matters when you make accusations... The repercussions set the whole campus on edge and there are huge consequences when you make these types of reports."

I agree with PineyWoodsGuy that the indiividual needs to be charged. I am not interested in the student spending time in jail, but this should be on his record incase something should arise about his character in the future. What if he does the same thing 5 years down the road and falsely charges someone. It should be noted that he lied to police and filed a false claim.
Tue, Nov 6, 2012 : 3:53 a.m.
If surveillance video led to the discovery he lied, then why does the opening paragraph of the article say he retracted his statement after police reveled there was "no" surveillance footage?
Tue, Nov 6, 2012 : 5:21 p.m.
Then it should say, "...after police revealed that existing surveillance footage showed no evidence of a robbery..." or something similar.
Tue, Nov 6, 2012 : 4:28 a.m.
You truncated the statement, @YpsiVeteran. The article said "...police revealed there was no surveillance footage SHOWING THE ROBBERY [emphasis mine]." There was surveillance footage, just none that showed the robbery. Clear now?
Tue, Nov 6, 2012 : 3:41 a.m.
Let's talk Common Sense. Figure a PD Dick @ $50 an hour ($100,000 a year). Figure 10 hours to run-down the False Report = $500. The kid is a Sick Puppy; better his parents know now, rather than later. Charge him with a Felony and, at PreLim Exam in District Court, Plea Bargain it down to a Misdemeanor in exchange for a Guilty Plea. Under a recent amendment to the Crim Statutes, the Judge is Required to Order Restitution. Order the Sick Puppy to pay $500 Restitution + Fine + Court Costs. Put him on Probation with a Requirement for Counseling. Nip in the bud this "College Student Wolf, Wolf" nonsense!

I'm always curious what the thinking is behind this Capitalize a Lot of Random Words style. I'd appreciate enlightenment if anyone has some ideas.
Tue, Nov 6, 2012 : 1:03 p.m.
Your common sense calculation needs work. What is the damage to EMU reputation due to the fact that many will never see the retraction? What is the damage to students and other living in the area that were afraid to leave their house for 3 days?

The U of M student who reported a fake gang rape wasn't prosecuted. The MSU student who reported a fake Nazi attack wasn't prosecuted. Let's break this pattern--don't let this EMU student cry wolf.

She may not have been charged yet by the prosecutor, but do you know that she won't be? The last I read the prosecutor was considering charges with no timeline for a decision.

National Human Genome Research Institute
Bethesda, Md., Mon., Sept. 10, 2012 - The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health will complete a major reorganization to accommodate broad changes in its mission, Eric D. Green, M.D., Ph.D., NHGRI's director, announced today. The reorganization will become effective on Oct. 1, 2012, the start of the 2013 fiscal year.
The reorganization includes dividing the institute's Extramural Research Program into four new divisions and promoting to division status the office overseeing policy, communications, and education, and the office overseeing administration and management.
NHGRI announced the reorganization during public meetings in January and February. The reorganization was approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on June 26 and was announced at the 66th meeting of the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research on Sept. 10.
"This reorganization reflects the expanding scope of genomics research, as described in NHGRI's new strategic vision published in Nature last year," Dr. Green said. "The mission of the institute has dramatically evolved from the singular focus on the Human Genome Project, for which NHGRI was created, to pursuing an exciting and broad set of opportunities for using genomics to advance medical science and improve human health. NHGRI needs an organizational structure concordant with this expanded mission."
The reorganization will include establishment of four divisions that will constitute NHGRI's Extramural Research Program:
The divisions will be led by the following individuals, initially in an acting capacity until the appropriate approvals are obtained:
In addition, the institute's Office of Policy, Communications and Education will become the Division of Policy, Communications and Education. Led by Laura Lyman Rodriguez, Ph.D., this division will manage a wide range of activities from policy development and legislative affairs to media relations and educational outreach for students, healthcare professionals and members of the public at large.
The Office of Administrative Management will become the Division of Management. Leading this division will be Executive Officer M. Janis Mullaney, M.B.A., and Deputy Executive Officer Ellen M. Rolfes, M.A.. The division oversees a wide range of institute activities, from financial management to administrative services to information technology.
Jane L. Peterson, Ph.D., will be a senior advisor to the NHGRI Office of the Director, Vence L. Bonham, J.D.. will be a senior advisor to the NHGRI Director on genomics and health disparities and Karen H. Rothenberg, J.D., M.P.A. will be a senior advisor to the NHGRI Director on genomics and society.
While not changing in organizational structure, the NHGRI Division of Intramural Research will continue under its Scientific Director Daniel L. Kastner, M.D., Ph.D., who joined the institute in October 2010. Dr. Kastner appointed Paul P. Liu, M.D., Ph.D., last year to be the NHGRI Deputy Scientific Director. Drs. Kastner and Liu will continue to guide all the programmatic activities of the institute's Intramural Research Program.
NHGRI received an annual budget of roughly $512 million in fiscal year 2012, of which approximately 70 percent was distributed through research grants and contracts.
NHGRI is one of the 27 institutes and centers at the National Institutes of Health, which is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Additional information about NHGRI can be found at www.genome.gov.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) - The Nation's Medical Research Agency - is the primary federal agency for conducting and supporting basic, clinical and translational medical research, and it investigates the causes, treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases.

EclipseLink Documentation Requirements
This page captures the requirements for future versions of the EclipseLink User Guide (ELUG). This is a work in progress.
These requirements are for the consumers of the EclipseLink documentation which includes both the community using EclipseLink from eclipse.org as well as companies who redistribute EclipseLink and want to include or link to the ELUG.
U1. Version Specific
Each release and patch-set of EclipseLink should be able to offer ELUG content that is version specific.
- Provide links to ELUG for a specific version that navigates only to pages with content for this version
- Each release notes page (wiki) will link to the main
U2. Technology Specific Documents/Books
The documentation must be organized into technology (persistence service) specific document sets/books.
- JPA: Content focused on using EclipseLink JPA along with its advanced features
- Native API usage shown only in the
- MOXy: Content focused on EclipseLink MOXy usage including JAXB annotations, native eclipselink-oxm.xml and native API configuration and usage
- SDO: Content focused on EclipseLink SDO
- May make sense to combine with MOXy
- DAS (SDO-JPA bridge using MOXy) should be covered and can link to JPA content as necessary
Common Requiresments for all sets/books:
- The content of each set/book can share content but should be presented in the context of the technology being covered and avoid generic content containing links to its use in a variety of technologies - we should discuss this one
U3. Consumable
It would be nice to enable the version specific ELUG content to be consumable into other documentation sets. Products and other projects that include EclipseLink should be able to consume the specific version of the ELUG matching the version they include.
Example: Oracle TopLink, Oracle WebLogic, GlassFish, and SAP NetWeaver do or will ship EclipseLink. Ideally these projects/products want to embed the version specific ELUG into their overall documentation set so that their end users have a consistent experience using their documentation.
- Support producing an HTML and/or PDF documentation output for a specific version that consumers can use
- License the content under a license that enable consumers to include--the Eclipse Foundation has endorsed a Creative Commons license for non-code artifacts--need to use approved license.
Nice to Have:
- Enable consumers to skin the documentation for their own Look & Feel
- Enable consumers to include and cross-link into the content from their own content that wraps the ELUG
- Enable packaging as Eclipse IDE on-line help for inclusion with distributions that include EclipseLink components.
This section captures the requirements of the content producers. The goal is to streamline content development addressing the complex nature of the software spanning multiple technologies with shared infrastructure and thus common functionality.
C1. Open
The content must be developed in an open fashion so that any interested party can participate in the development and ongoing maintenance of the ELUG.
- Content must be developed in a repository that is generally accessible over the internet
- Content stored in an "open" format (i.e., XML)
- Content format conforms to an established standard (DITA or Docbook?)
- Approved content developers from any organization must be able to have write access to the repository. Generally this involves contributors providing documentation fixes and enhancements through bugs and the document authors being project committers having write access to the content repository
- Alternative is to allow project committers to provide doc updates directly to the the repository, similar to how we currently allow any committer to update the end-user wiki content.
C2. Simplify
The content authors need to be able to manage the content in an efficient manor.
Nice To Have:
- Single repository where all content is managed and authors simply add and enhance without duplication of effort
- Content is tagged with the versions it is relevant to. This enables new content to be added for older functionality and have it picked up in all applicable versions of ELUG when next generated.

Atlassian Sourcetree is a free Git and Mercurial client for Windows.
Atlassian Sourcetree is a free Git and Mercurial client for Mac.
Welcome to the PyObjC repository
This repository contains a number of Python packages/distributions for the PyObjC project:
- 'pyobjc': a meta package that is used for easy installation using easy_install or pip
- 'pyobjc-core': the actual bridge
- 'pyobjc-framework-*': wrappers for specific frameworks (or sets of frameworks)
- 'pyobjc-xcode': Mostly unmaintained Xcode templates for Python projects
Supported Python versions
PyObjC is regularly tested using Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7.
I'm also regularly testing using the development version of Python, although support for that might be broken when there are large changes in the implementation.
PyPy, Jython and IronPython are not supported, and it is unlikely that this will change anytime soon.
The easiest way to install PyObjC from the repository is by using the "install.py" script next to this file.
First create a check-out:
$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/pyobjc
Then perform the installation:
$ pythonX.Y pyobjc/install.py

We probably all know an eternal optimist. I'm not talking about a lifetime member of the Optimists service organization. Instead, these are the people who are excited by a room full of horse manure because they know there's a pony in there somewhere
We probably all know an eternal optimist. I'm not talking about a lifetime member of the Optimists service organization. Instead, these are the people who are excited by a room full of horse manure because they know there is a pony in there somewhere. In the book "The Religion of the Samurai" by Kaiten Nukariya, Hisa-nobu is described as "one of the happiest persons that Japan ever produced, simply because he was ever thankful ...." It tells how he falls in the rain, bloodying his knees. He then pulls himself from the mud and exclaims, "I got both my legs hurt, but, thank heaven, they were not broken.' " He does not deny the pain. His accomplishment is to release the discomfort and be grateful knowing it could have been worse. One sees that optimistic attitude a lot in parents of kids with limitations. There is a mom with a child who has a chromosomal defect that for many patients is already fatal. Beyond the child's lack of normal cognitive functions, he is dependent on a machine to push air into his body. Many outsiders only see the disabilities. The mom who watches over him and loves him is not blind. She knows the pain. Still, you get that idea that, even as she falls in the daily mud of his illnesses, she seems to get up and say, "My heart hurts, but, thank heaven, it is not broken." This week, for a very short and privileged time, I watched over another young boy who is nearing the fifth grade. In his creation, his spinal column did not close over his lower back. With this defect, there are no nerves passing beyond that point of malformation. Without the nervation, there is no function below the deformity. He does not walk or have urine or bowel control. Unlike children conceived and born to a family, which prompts a biological kinship, this child was adopted. The new parents knew he was not whole. However, the mother acknowledges that they really didn't totally comprehend all the problems associated with his structural flaw. They adopted him anyway. Now the mother is in the hospital at his side as a single parent. He is on a ventilator connected to the tube inserted in his trachea. Like any kid, he loves to eat, in spite of the food falling helplessly into his lungs. He joins us one more time to treat his pneumonia. The family prayers are "Give us this day his daily breath." Because of his faulty spinal construction, there is limited flow of the fluid that surrounds his brain and neural chord. This impasse backs up the spinal fluid. The excess has to be drained or it harmfully swells the brain. The tubes that drain the buildup are burrowed under the skin to the abdomen. These shunts have needed revision over 30 times. His life is tethered to an OR schedule, not a parent's convenience, not a family vacation or an individual job or even a marriage surviving. In spite of all of this, the mother gets up and exclaims in her own way, "My heart hurts, but, thank heaven, it is not broken." In spite of all the surgeries and all the pneumonias and all the tubes, the boy smiles and laughs without making a sound. You can tell he feels legitimate joy. Thank heaven his sense of humor is not broken. For the rest of us who would not qualify as the happiest man or woman in our own skins, let alone in all of Japan, it is easy to condemn the happiness of others. We doubt their sincerity. We want to slap some sense into them. We want them to feel the pain we choose to embrace. However, if optimistic happiness is what they say it is, then perhaps we need to acknowledge our hurt but then get up out of the mud and say, "But, thank heaven, I am not broken."%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D156831%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

Singer-actress Miley Cyrus has distanced herself from a photograph that purportedly shows the performer smoking what appears to be a joint.
An image seemingly showing the former Disney star surrounded by smoke accompanied by the caption "High as [bleep]" was posted by a user called "Mileyxxcyrus" on Instagram on Tuesday.
The snap was picked up by several news outlets, but Cyrus has moved swiftly to distance herself from the controversy.
In a post on Twitter, she writes, "I don't have an Instagram."
Cyrus has previously been caught on camera smoking the legal substance salvia, but she subsequently admitted she had made a "bad decision" over the 2010 incident, which came just days after she celebrated her 18th birthday.

Arcade Sushi's Unusual Best of E3 2013 Awards
Everyone can do E3 2013 Awards like, "Best Xbox One Game" or, "Best Shooter." To commemorate Arcade Sushi's first year at E3, we decided to do something a little different. Instead of breaking these awards down by genre or console, we broke games down by how they made us feel. Get ready, these aren't your usual Best of E3 2013 Awards!
Game That Shouldn't Be an Exclusive – Killer Instinct
Killer Instinct was an insanely fun fighting game that modernized the combo centric classic. However, it's only going to come out on Xbox One, and that is seriously going to splinter the community. Fighting games tend to survive on the ability to bring the fighting game community together for tournaments and other events. Killer Instinct is a quality game, but as a console exclusive it might not find its audience.
Most Hype Game We Didn't Get to Play – Super Smash Bros.
Nintendo literally had a playable version of Super Smash Bros. with Mega Man in it right in front of us, but we didn't get to play. Instead, Nintendo played it and provided some of the worst fighting game commentary we have heard in a long time. Next time, just give us the controller, Nintendo.
Best Game From Last E3 – Beyond: Two Souls
Last year, we got to see Ellen Page play a fugitive haunted by a murderous ghost. This year, we got to see Ellen Page play a hardened military woman haunted by a murderous ghost. Frankly, we have no idea what this game is about, but we want to see more.
Biggest Disappointment – Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2
A two hour long wait for a button mashy game with unfair platforming, cheap deaths, and enemies with the intelligence of a tapeworm? Yeah, we'll pass. No amount of Patrick Stewart and Robert Carlyle is worth this.
Most WTF!? Game – Killer is Dead
Killer is Dead is an action game where you play a buisinessman with a cybernetic left arm and a katana who is hired to kill zombies that steal abstract concepts from people. Your boss is a giant African American robot in a Hawaiian shirt and your sidekick is a motorcycle babe with 16 arms. You fuel your sword with roses and pick up chicks to learn new abilities. Oh, and your clients tend to be already deceased. Strange enough for you?
Biggest Tease – Final Fantasy XV/Kingdom Hearts 3
At the Sony press conference, Square-Enix revealed that Final Fantasy Versus XIII had become Final Fantasy XV and that Kingdom Hearts 3 was finally going to come out. At their booth, they had Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD, and Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix, games that are incredibly close to their big reveal, but not the games we were looking for.
Best Game No One Knows About – Divekick
Divekick is absolutely genius. It's a fighting game with two buttons and no joystick. It's simple to play, but the strategy is remarkably deep. This tiny setup off on the edges of the Sony booth kept attracting huge crowds that would cheer at the end of every battle. It was, in a way, the most audibly hyped game at E3, and you should definitely give it a try when it releases later this year.
Game Most Likely To Change Gaming As We Know It – Project Spark
Project Spark was more than a game. It was an incredibly powerful game development tool. Not only did it allow you to create full game worlds, but it also let you create A.I. and game rules as well. Want to make an action game? Go for it! How about a tower defense? Do that too! Space shooter? Why not! This is a whole new level of user generated content.
Best Game To Play With Friends – Destiny
Destiny's huge open world, procedurally generated loot system, and multiple classes make it a perfect multiplayer game for the next generation. The fact that there is a huge single player campaign with events that allow others to join in is even better. We can't wait to hear more about the game systems of this awesome new shooter.
Most Retro Game – The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
After twenty two years, A Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is getting a sequel, complete with links original mullet hairdo! Everything from the original is coming back, including the light and dark worlds, Gannon, and even familiar territories from the SNES game. No other game brought back as many delightful retro gaming memories as this one.
Weirdest E3 Moment – The Ouya Booth
The Ouya isn't exactly being designed by the richest design team out there. So when E3 prices were a bit too high for it, they simply rented out a parking lot across from the convention center. So to visit this indie booth you had to leave the convention center and cross the street and go inside a tent. Even weirder, E3 tried to one up the Ouya by parking trucks in front of it and then the Ouya one upped them by putting displays in front of the trucks. What the heck is going on? Maybe next year we will see E3 booths in the middle of the road.
Presentation That Made Us Weep for the Maturity Level of the Gaming Industry – Killer Instinct
As much as we liked Killer Instinct, we couldn't help but cry a little when Microsoft essentially made a rape joke during their KI demo, when a male gamer told a female community manager, "Just let it happen, and it'll be over soon." This spawned a huge amount of outrage, and a huge counter-backlash to that outrage, which made us weep even more. Microsoft has since apologized but the fact that they could even think of making a joke like that, and the fact that people would defend them for it, is depressing.
Game That Makes Us Feel Better About the Gaming Industry as an Institution for Art – The Walking Dead: 400 Days
Telltale continues to prove to us that gaming can tell stories like no other. The Walking Dead: 400 Days, though just a DLC add on, is one of the most remarkable pieces of gaming that E3 had on display. The gripping tales of horror and suspense it had to tell made us incredibly excited for Season 2 and the fact that all the decisions you make in Season 1 affect this DLC, which then affect the starting conditions for Season 2! This is one title you don't want to miss if you consider games to be more than a pastime.
What awards would you hand out? Let us know in the comments!

We currently have two types of solar energy: energy generated from light, using silicon-based photovoltaic cells, and energy generated from heat, using solar concentrators and heat-conversion systems. What if we could collect both types of energy at once? Stanford researchers recently unveiled a new solar tech that can do exactly that — their PETE devices utilize a semiconducting material coated with cesium to boost efficiency levels up to 60 percent — three times that of existing systems.
Rooftop solar panels use silicon to convert light into electricity. But their efficiency declines rapidly at higher temperatures (like those needed to power heat-conversion systems). An either/or choice presents itself — but Stanford researchers found that a cesium coating allowed semiconducting materials to convert both light and heat into energy.
They dubbed the process PETE, for photon enhanced thermionic emission. Best of all, PETE devices could be cheaply and easily incorporated into existing solar collection systems. (Because the system hits peak efficiency at over 200 degrees Celsius, it's not a good fit for rooftop arrays.) "The light would come in and hit our PETE device first," explained lead researcher Nick Melosh. "We would take advantage of both the incident light and the heat that it produces, and then we would dump the waste heat to existing thermal conversion systems."
PETE devices require only a small amount of semiconducting material, making them cheap. Melosh's team also hopes to design devices that can easily be bolted on to existing solar collection systems, so that conversion would also be low-cost.
When used with the heat-conversion process, PETE devices could reach 60 percent efficiency. But even if they boost efficiency just to 30 percent, they will bring solar power down to the price point of oil. And that's a good thing.

The public relations director of Newport Beach's tourism bureau was fired Monday in the wake of a kerfuffle surrounding a tweet he sent from the agency's Twitter account.
The tweet — which Visit Newport Beach Inc.'s chief executive Gary Sherwin confirmed in a statement was written by Jeff Soto — encouraged travelers to "avoid the chaos" at Los Angeles International Airport and "make it a beach vacation" in Newport.
The message was sent Friday, hours after a shooter opened fire at the airport, killing one Transportation Security Administration agent and wounding several others.
A short time after it was posted, the tweet was deleted from the @NewportBeach Twitter feed. A subsequent tweet apologized for the message and paid "respects to the victim's family."
"Was focused on closure and hearing reports of ppl stuck," it said.
The shooting ground operations at the airport, one of the busiest in the world, to a near halt, causing massive delays for travelers.
In the statement, Sherwin said that Visit Newport Beach was "appalled and dismayed by the lack of empathy and judgment conveyed" in the tweet, which he said was "posted without proper knowledge of the situation."
"Our hearts go out to the victims of Friday's airport shooting ... " Sherwin said in the statement. "Visit Newport Beach Inc. is built on a platform of core values, including respect and integrity. This careless and regrettable tweet flies in the face of those values..."
Soto worked at Visit Newport Beach, a nonprofit marketing organization whose contract with the city is funded primarily by hotel bed taxes and membership dues, for a little more than six months, officials said.
Normally, the Twitter account is handled by the agency's social media director, said Chief Marketing Officer Vicki Higgins.
But as public relations director, she said, Soto would occasionally post from Visit Newport Beach's accounts, responding to inquiries or news events.
She said Kitchen Table Marketing + PR, a firm that has helped the agency promote specific events in the past, has "jumped in to assist with this situation," and will be helping to fulfill some of Soto's duties.
Soto could not immediately be reached for comment.

What makes a good webfont? Before we wrote the first line of code for Cloud.typography, or lit the first pixel of our first ScreenSmart font, we began the search for a solution to this riddle. The answers are unexpected: a good webfont is more than just legible, and more than just attractive, and some provocative solutions come from some unexpected places. Webfonts can learn a lot from nineteenth century engraved maps, twentieth century dictionaries, and twenty-first century authors.
If you're in New York this month, join me at Ampersand NYC this Saturday, November 2, or at a special lecture for AIGA/NY on November 14, for an exploration of what constitutes fine typography on the web. I'll be sharing a behind-the-scenes look at how we brought our library of fonts to the web, and some new ways of looking at type that are useful for every cross-disciplinary designer. —JH

Nitro Rook Snowboard
'' Sizes: 152, 154, 156, 158
'' Twin
'' Powercore II
'' Ballistic Impact Panel
'' Railkiller Edge
'' Sintered Speed Formula Base
The multiple board test winning Rook has become the go to board this season, because of its true twin, mid-wide shape and Zero camber that makes the board easier to transition from rails to jumps. The Bi-Lite laminates give the Rook a very forgiving flex while the Ballistic Impact Panels and Railkiller edge take all the abuses that the park dishes out. For 2011 we dropped the camber to Zero and added our new Pop Band in the fiberglass for boosted ollie snap. Rounding out the Rooks insanity is the dual degressive sidecut that keeps the board from being catchy on take offs and landings, but provides a solid hold between your feet. Don't be a mark for those other companies – try a board that will give you some love back.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Culture and religion collide—that's the only way to understand the violent protests in the Islamic world against the American-produced movie that mocks the Prophet Mohammed.
Over 20 years ago, American political scientist Samuel Huntington predicted a Clash of Civilizations. In his book of the same name, Huntington describes a cultural war between Islam and the Christian West. At that time, he was sharply criticised by liberals who thought that Islam would adapt to the rest of the world. People believed that "globalization will eradicate all cultural differences."
But the recent Arab Spring shattered Western hopes that freedom and democracy would eventually win the day in the Middle East. Some 1.3 millionMuslims are citizens of the State of Israel. Ironically, they might be the only Muslims who enjoy true democracy in their native country.
Israel Today spoke about these issues with two leaders of the radical Islamic Movement in Israel, Sheikh Abdullah Nimr Darwish and Sheikh Kamal Khatib.

When redditor pat_inthehat posted that his aunt makes wedding cakes, he made a serious understatement. She doesn't just make cakes; she makes delectable vessels of flour and frosting. Her Borg Cube cake is fantastic, swarmed by little plastic starships, but that won't save it from being assimilated into the guests' bodies.
Said aunt makes cakes at the Sugarplum Cake Shoppe in Colorado Springs. The bakery also makes classic tiered wedding cakes, but what's the fun in that?

AC Warning Signs
- If your air conditioner is not working at all, you want to check to see if all of the settings are correct. Always take a look at your thermostat to confirm it is set to "cool".

- Short cycling is perfectly normal if your air conditioner starts to do that when it gets warmer during the summertime.

Dear Opening Credits,
Continue Reading Below
I've heard that you should always pay your debts down before saving anything. Is that true? For example, if you have a bunch of student loans, should you pay those off before starting a savings account?
- Jane
Dear Jane,
Sure, from a basic math standpoint, it would make sense to pay off all debt before beginning a savings plan. After all, lenders add finance fees to an amount owed, so you're losing money when you hang on to balances. That's especially true considering how low interest rates are on savings and how high they can be on loans.
Having said that, however, you should still be putting cash aside for emergencies and enjoyment as you're paying off those obligations.
Everyone, as unique as we are, has to develop their own personal finance strategy that works best for our specific needs and lifestyle.
With that in mind, here are some generalities about how to efficiently move from the operating in the red to black. However, consider these to be guidelines, not gospel:
- Have at least three months' worth of essential expenses in savings -- no matter how much you owe. Cash in hand (or in the bank, rather) is self-guaranteed protection. If you were to lose your job, it might take a while to secure another. During that time, you'll still need to pay for rent, food, gas and other necessities. You don't want to move back in with your parents or couch-surf with friends, do you? Three months is a decent base, but add an additional month for each person relying on you for support or if the employment market in your area or field is particularly tough.
- Save at least 10% of your monthly net income. The simpler and more habitual you make savings, the better. That's why I like this rule. Just take 10% off the top of your paycheck and deposit it into a savings account. So if you bring home $3,300 a month, immediately tuck away $330. In a year you'll have $3,960. Many employers can do this automatically for you through a 401(k) contribution or via a separate direct deposit into another bank account.
- Delete the most expensive debt first. Not all balances are created equal. Some are far more costly than others and need to be eliminated as quickly as possible. When calculating which creditor should get the bulk of your money, rank them by interest rate. Send more to the account charging the highest rate, and the minimum to the rest. Once your most expensive debt is paid off, move on to the next most-expensive debt and so on. When creating your list, mind that the interest you pay on federal student loans (and mortgages, too, by the way) is typically tax deductible, which means a break on your income taxes. Therefore, they usually go at the bottom.
- After you've blasted the balances, pump up savings. Once you are debt-free, reroute all the money you've been handing to your lenders to yourself. Augment your crisis fund (so it reaches at least the three-month mark, preferably more), increase your retirement contributions and save for other goals and activities.
- Prepare your credit so you can borrow to earn cash and stuff. Don't add to your debt while reducing it, but still use your credit cards wisely (meaning continuing to charge things you'd normally pay for every month, such as gas, and pay that off immediately so no interest is accrued). It's important to build your credit rating so you can qualify for premium plastic later. One good way to increase a credit score is to consistently borrow and repay with a credit card. Once your score is high enough, you may want to apply for a credit card that allows you to build points for cash, services and products. Use it, but pay the balances off before the due date. Then you'll always earn and never owe.
- These are the basic principles of how to best approach debt and savings. Now tweak them to suit your personality and lifestyle. The idea is to enjoy yourself while also making smart decisions. As the late, great Katharine Hepburn once said, "If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun." I couldn't agree more.
