NCSF at AASECT 2012
NCSF at AASECT
On behalf of NCSF, Jim Fleckenstein and Susan Wright attended the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) Annual Conference on June 8-10th in Austin, Texas. The NCSF booth in the Exhibit Hall featured free copies of NCSF's newly refreshed guide: "What Psychology Professionals Should Know About Polyamory." 150 copies were given away to professional service providers courtesy of a grant by Alan of Polyamory in the News (http://polyinthemedia.blogspot.com). The interest was so high, that supplies ran out before the end of the conference.
"This year we saw a significant increase in interest about alternative sexuality at the NCSF booth," says Susan Wright, NCSF Spokesperson. "The therapists, counselors and sex educators were asking for more information about kinky people. We are providing a real service by supplying this much-needed education at conferences like AASECT."
The NCSF exhibit gave away hundreds of brochures about NCSF projects such as the Kink Aware Professionals free referral list, the DSM Revision project to depathologize BDSM, the Consent Counts project to decriminalize BDSM, and NELA's Is it S/M or Abuse? brochure. Two brochures intended for kinky people were also popular giveaways as illustrations of the difficulties our underserved population faces: Finding a Kink Aware Therapist and Finding Kink Aware Medical Care.
Jim Fleckenstein was the lead presenter on (Re)Defining Fidelity in Committed Relationships: How to Negotiate Non-Exclusivity Successfully, a workshop designed to provide participants with a more complete understanding of the appropriateness of negotiated non-exclusivity as a relationship choice for their clients.
Susan Wright was the presenter on Violence and Discrimination Against BDSM Practitioners, a workshop presenting survey data from the BDSM community on the impact of persecution against kinky people.
NCSF also organized the AASECT Alt Sex Special Interest Group munch that took place Friday evening on the patio of the Hyatt Regency Austin. Over twenty-five AASECT members attended to further discuss issues raised in the Alt Sex SIG meeting that took place on Friday afternoon at the conference. It was an informative meeting that offered excellent networking opportunities for the professional service providers, and is another indication of the increased interest in the Alt Sex SIG at AASECT.
NCSF needs your donations to attend important events like the 2012 AASECT conference. Please join as a member now, go to our donation page, or encourage your group to hold a fundraiser for NCSF. Without your support, NCSF can't continue to help the BDSM, swing and polyamory communities. www.ncsfreedom.org

If it's the case, I'd stay away from it since it implies that either you have to use a proprietary API to get performance (inter-core communications à la MPI) or that the model is OpenMosix ish...which IMHO is a nice theory, horrible practice model.

Hawaii wholesalers agree that Maui is an easy sell. They count it among their top-producing destinations, crediting its tourism industry for constantly upgrading its inventory of places to stay and things to do. And while their biggest challenge comes from clients who think that the island is too expensive, wholesale reps are responding by providing maximum value to each Maui vacation.
Travel Impressions president Tim Mullen describes Maui as one of the world's most sought-after destinations, with widespread appeal to a variety of markets.
"Adventure-seekers can hike Haleakala volcano; golf enthusiasts can play one of the island's numerous courses; water lovers can snorkel, scuba dive and sail; and everyone can enjoy its amazing beaches, luaus, dining and shopping," Mullen said.
Jennifer Halboth, marketing director for the Globus Family of Brands, adds that part of Maui's allure stems from its ability to offer a happy medium between the fast pace of Waikiki and the laid-back mood of Kauai.
"On Maui, if travelers want nightlife, they can find it, but they can also escape to some of the most beautiful and peaceful spots in the world," said Halboth.
At the same time, wholesalers are noticing growing interest in Maui's sister islands of Molokai and Lanai. The trio comprises what tourism officials call Maui Nui (Big Maui).
"Many customers are discovering a new Maui experience by taking a ferry or quick flight to Molokai or Lanai, which have their own charm," said Levi Sanchez, senior marketing manager of Blue Sky Tours.
Good Airlift, Great Resorts
Wholesalers concur that Maui sales are facilitated by the island's plentiful airlift.
"Over the past few years, nonstop flights to Maui have grown, thanks in part to the opening of Hawaiian Airlines' second Hawaii hub in Kahului," said Pleasant Holidays president Jack Richards. "Hawaiian has increased its total seats from Los Angeles to Maui in 2014, so it is now very convenient to visit Maui without changing planes in Honolulu."
Hawaiian, Alaska Airlines and U.S. Airways are all adding direct service from the Western U.S. to Maui for summer 2014.
Supplementing Maui's selling power is its range of resort product, according to wholesalers. The island offers budget hotels and condos for the frugal traveler, but it's the high-end resorts that are currently turning heads.
Properties that are commanding headlines lately include the elegant Andaz Maui at Wailea, which opened in 2013, and Montage Kapalua Bay, an all-suite oasis scheduled for a June 2014 debut.
Keeping Maui Affordable
While Maui's tourism scene seems robust, some travelers think that the island is overpriced. Rising hotel and airline rates are validating that perception, according to Apple Vacations vice president Mark Noennig.
"More vacationers are considering higher room categories and suites, but they are also price-conscious," said Noennig. "They want to enhance their vacation experience with a larger room and more amenities."
To put the island within reach of more clients, wholesalers are marketing Maui with money-saving initiatives.
For example, Pleasant Holidays is currently offering a pair of Maui exclusives. Clients booking Royal Lahaina Resort can save up to $700 per booking on a five-night stay and enjoy plenty of perks. Pleasant's Westin Maui Resort and Spa promotion provides savings of $370 per five-night booking and extras such as free daily breakfasts and spa discounts.
Apple Vacations' Go Topless promotion allows Maui visitors to upgrade to a convertible for the price of a mid-size rental car. Travel Impressions is packaging reduced rates at a long list of Maui resorts with bonus amenities such as free meals for kids and champagne and chocolates for honeymooners.
The goal is to keep Maui at the top of travelers' wish lists. According to wholesalers, it appears that the old saying still rings true: Maui No Ka Oi (Maui Is the Best).

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Sen. Mark Pryor likes to tell voters that he always puts Arkansas first, borrowing the campaign slogan associated with his family for decades. In Wyoming, Liz Cheney bets that her famous father's name will be gold in her Senate race. And in Louisiana, Sen. Mary Landrieu counts on her kin's New Orleans ties to help lift her to re-election in a tough race.
Family does matter in the runup to next fall's Senate elections: Candidates are wielding famous political pedigrees in a number of races that could determine whether Democrats maintain control in the 2014 elections.
Famous last names mean automatic name recognition and, typically, an easier time raising money. Beyond that, and 15 months before Election Day, it's unclear whether family ties will translate into votes next fall.
For several Democrats, their deep family roots in conservative-leaning states could help them make the case that they are in touch with local values and act in constituents' best interests as they seek to rebut Republican arguments that they are nothing more than rubber stamps for President Barack Obama's policies. Yet, with congressional approval ratings dipping to record lows, a political pedigree also could turn into a liability if voters decide they'd rather have some new blood in the Senate.
History is filled with famous political families with national images — the Kennedys, Rockefellers and Bushes are among them — and there are similar political dynasties in individual states across the nation.
This year, family ties figure prominently in Arkansas, where Pryor's father, David, served the state as governor and U.S. senator, and in Louisiana, where Landrieu's father, Moon, was New Orleans' mayor during the 1970s and her brother, Mitch, now leads the city. In Wyoming, former Vice President Dick Cheney's eldest daughter has galvanized the state's political scene by seeking the seat of Sen. Mike Enzi, a Republican favored by his party's establishment.
In the cases of Pryor and Landrieu, Republicans say voters are savvy enough to judge sitting senators on their performance rather than their pedigree.
"Name ID has helped Landrieu and Pryor during their careers, but they are pretty far along into their own careers now and they have a voting record," said Brian Walsh, a Republican strategist and former aide to the National Senatorial Campaign Committee.
John Anzalone, an Alabama-based Democratic pollster, counters that it will be more difficult for Republicans to attach the Democratic incumbents to Obama next year because the president will not be on the ballot. He said many children of prominent politicians, especially in places less favorable to Democrats, have been successful by sticking to the mold of their parents — not the party's leader.
"There's always this need to distinguish yourself, that you're not part of the national party cabal," Anzalone said.
Among the other Senate races featuring politicians with pedigrees:
—Alaska: First-term Democratic Sen. Mark Begich has been targeted by Republicans in a state that hasn't supported a Democrat for president since 1964. Begich is the son of the late Rep. Nick Begich, who served in Congress before his October 1972 death in a plane crash.
—Georgia: Democrat Michelle Nunn, the daughter of former Sen. Sam Nunn, is trying to win an open seat in a state that hasn't elected a Democrat to the Senate in more than a decade.
—West Virginia: Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, the daughter of former three-term Gov. Arch Moore, is heavily favored to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller. Capito's father, now 90, pleaded guilty to political corruption charges in 1990 and served 2½ years in federal prison. Democrats have yet to field a strong candidate.
At Kentucky's annual political gathering called Fancy Farm, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell took less than a minute to take a verbal shot at his Democratic opponent, Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes. She is the daughter of Jerry Lundergan, Kentucky's former Democratic Party chairman.
"I want to say how nice it is ... to see Jerry Lundergan back in the game," McConnell told the raucous crowd. "Like the loyal Democrat he is, he's taking orders from the Obama campaign on how to run his daughter's campaign."
In Arkansas, Pryor doesn't try to avoid his father's name or legacy. When Mark Pryor first ran for the Senate in 2002, the elder Pryor was such a presence that Tim Hutchinson, the Republican incumbent, complained that he had "debated David Pryor more than I have Mark Pryor." In a recent interview, Pryor mused that he didn't know "why the Pryors always get themselves into big Senate races," comparing his current campaign against Rep. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., to some of his father's old Senate battles.
Pryor remains one of the Senate's most endangered incumbents as Cotton argues that voters should elect a senator "who, when he says Arkansas comes first, actually means it."
Republicans acknowledge that the Pryor name and network of supporters will give the incumbent an advantage that fellow Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln didn't have in her unsuccessful re-election bid in 2010. To address that, GOP strategists say Cotton will need to make voters associate Pryor's name more with Washington and the Obama administration than his father's legacy.
"The name is a name that has been held in good stead, but now it has been linked with a name, Obama, that is not in Arkansas," state GOP Chairman Doyle Webb said earlier this year. "I think it has fallen out of favor with the average Arkansas voter."
Thomas reported from Washington.

wunder needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 69 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
Need logo for a revolutionary new astronomy product to aid astrophotographers.
This product will allow astrophotographers to quickly focus their equipment using a mask which covers the end of the telescope. The mask creates a diffraction spike pattern when the telescope is focused on a bright star. I want the pattern to be prominently featured in the logo and the product name 'Spike-a' to be integrated with the graphic. Note the trailing 'a' must be lower case. The logo will be laser engraved in the final product along with the website for the product.
The name of the product is a play on a bright star called 'Spica' and the fact that it uses optical diffraction splikes to achieve focus.
I am an avid amateur astronomer who spends far too much time focusing my equipment. This new product will save me and hopefully many other astronomers a great deal of time.
- Incorporate the diffraction spike pattern in the logo as shown at the following locations: http://www.allprosoftware.com/xt10spikes.jpg
- http://www.allprosoftware.com/lx50spikes.jpg
- http://www.spike-a.com
- It's not necessary to include the star in the center of the spikes- the pattern of the spikes themselves are the important part.
- Include the word Spike-a in the logo.
- The orientation of the spikes does not have to be the same as shown in the sample- they can be vertical, horizontal or anything in-between.
- I need the final format to be able to be opened with Photoshop Elements. Thanks.
I do not want the last character in 'Spike-a' to be upper case

Extraterrestrial Fireworks
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of a cosmic explosion that is quite similar to fireworks on Earth. In the nearby galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud, a massive star has exploded as a supernova, and begun to dissipate its interior into a spectacular display of colorful filaments. The greenish-blue supernova remnant, E0102, resides 50 light-years away from the edge of a bright glowing massive star-forming region.

Electronic cigarettes became a trend in a matter of years. These devices became widely accepted in the past few years but e cigs have been around for quite a long time. There are millions of people out there who love experimenting with different e liquid flavors and also turn to electronic cigarette usage for the sake of quitting their bad habit of smoking combustible tobacco. The vaping phenomena have undoubtedly become the most popular trend of this generation. The use of different types of e cigarette devices and more than 8,000 e-liquids is something both young and young-at-heart equally enjoy.
Like any other industry, e cig technology is also advancing as we move forward and it is obvious that with an enhanced experience the popularity of electronic cigarette devices is only increasing. The reason why e cig devices have been a success because of their affordability, clean & safer use, and the enhanced user experience that these devices offer as compared to the combustible tobacco products. Users get to pick the flavor of their choice. E liquids allow users to experiment with different flavors that could just only be imagined a couple of years ago.
The Invention Of E Cigarettes
Herbert A Gilbert was the man who filed a patent for his electronic cigarette design in 1963 but the invention didn't really catch up in his days. A lot of people believe that Gilbert had envisioned the benefits and possibilities that would give birth to the modern-day popularity of e cigs. Han Lik, a Chinese pharmacist who himself was a smoker, after the death of his father who was suffering from lung cancer, invented the modern electronic cigarette as we see it. The prototype, that Han Like developed, allowed the users to get the same sensation as of smoking a combustible tobacco cigarette but without the health hazards that are offered by hundreds of toxins and harmful chemicals that are found in traditional tobacco cigarettes. The company that Han Lik was working for went on to invest in his brilliant idea and the product was dubbed as 'Ruyan' which meanings 'like smoking cigarettes'.
Over the period of more than a decade, e cig market has grown into a worldwide phenomenon after being accepted by the whole world, especially Europe and America. A lot of studies have been carried out so far which prove the benefits of e cigarettes over its rival, traditional tobacco cigarettes. The WHO has also contributed a lot in finding out if whether the usage of e cigs is safe. It hasn't been dubbed safe or unsafe yet but surely has been proclaimed as a way of quitting smoking. Many vapers and the e cig manufacturers believe that the science will soon enough endorse the usage of electronic cigarettes and more people would vape instead of smoking, and be able to enjoy a healthier lifestyle.
Reasons Behind The Success of Electronic Cigarettes
There are a lot of factors that contributed to the success of electronic cigarettes among the masses. The fact that e cigarettes allow the users to experiment with a number of different e liquid flavors while keeping them away from the harmful effects that tobacco cigarettes have to offer and letting them enjoy everything it has to offer within a reasonable budget is the main reason behind its popularity.
E-liquid Flavors
There are almost 8,000 e liquid flavors available in the market at the moment. There are all sorts of exciting e-liquid flavors that you can enjoy as a vaper. If you haven't come across an e-liquid catalogue yet then you might just be surprised by the number of different e-liquid flavors a normal person can imagine that resemble the daily life products that we use and then there are e-liquid flavors that carry their own unique identity – exciting mixtures and combination of various daily life consumables that you would get surprised to see and e-liquid flavors that don't taste like anything you might have ever tasted.
In the beginning, e-liquid flavors usually featured some known hits like bubble gum, chocolates, and fruity flavors but as the e liquid industry grew, the competition among the manufacturers increased which resulted in experimentation of different flavors to serve the consumers with something original. Soon enough, the manufacturers came up with eliquid flavors and combinations completely unknown to the mankind. Now, if you'd take a look at any e liquid store you will find various types of cakes and pudding flavors, a number of custards, combination of various fruits, and even tobacco and cigar flavors that you can enjoy without bringing any sort of harm to your personal health.
Health Benefits
Electronic cigarettes are battery-powered devices that turn a flavored e-liquid into vapors with the help of coils. Unlike traditional cigarettes that include tobacco along with hundreds of toxins and harmful chemicals, the material that burns off in an e cigarette is the e-liquid that contains Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG) that are both used in hundreds of daily life products and are considered to be hundred times safer than what is present in a tobacco cigarette.
The e-cig trend is relatively new as compared to smoking, so there hasn't been a lot of research carried out on the effects of its usage but it has surely been found out to be a much safer alternative to smoking. Tobacco smoking, besides putting the life in danger of the person who smokes, also threatens the health of the people sitting by. But there are no harms that come out of passive vaping as indicated by the research carried out by health experts. Unlike passive smoking, passive vaping does not pose any threat to people in the vicinity because of the vapors, exhaled by the e cig user, are quickly dispersed in the air.
Hundreds of thousands of people who smoke are turning to electronic cigarettes for the sake of quitting their harmful habit and enjoy better health. In e cigs, users get an option to control the amount of nicotine that their e-liquid has to offer. Most e-liquid flavors offer different nicotine content levels for the convenience of their users. Nicotine dependency is the main culprit that keeps people from quitting their habit of smoking along with the hand to mouth motion and sensation of taking a drag. E-liquids allow the users to gradually reduce the nicotine intake that keeps their bodies safe from dealing with any withdrawal symptoms. Users also get to enjoy the same hand to mouth delivery and the sensation of dragging and exhaling the vapors in and out of their lungs. Within the first few months of switching to e cigs, you will start noticing the following health benefits.
- You won't feel nauseous in the evenings
- Normal heart rate
- Improved sense of smell and taste
- Improved balance
- Increased confident
- Improved energy levels
- Healthier lung capacity
- Increased stamina
- Improved focus
- Easy breathing
- Healthy digestion system
- Increased productivity
- Optimistic approach towards life
- Increased healing power
and the list goes on. There is a reason why vaping is dubbed as 95% safer than tobacco smoking and just like smoking has different effects on different individuals, the benefits of vaping can also be recorded as per individual findings. It is not only 95% safer but it is also 40% cheaper as compared to traditional cigarette smoking. Frugal-lifestyle experts claim that switching to vaping can help an individual to save up to £1,000 per year.

- Bauer Bodoni is a variation of the Bodoni typeface, this font was released by Heinrich Jost in the year 1926 for the Bauer Type foundry in Frankfurt, Germany. Heinrich Jost was the artistic director of the foundry from 1923 to 1948, period in which he designed this font which was punch cut by Louis Hoell. The form of this typeface is closely related to the Bodoni, but considered more delicate and graceful than other bodoni variants.

Hyde Park is about to get a shot in the arm when the Promontory, a new restaurant, bar and concert venue, opens in early 2013. Even more exciting is the team behind the project: Longman & Eagle owners Bruce Finkelman (Empty Bottle, Bite Cafe), Craig Golden (Evanston's Space and Union Pizza) and chef Jared Wentworth will helm the kitchen.
At this point, much of the details, including the type of cuisine, have not yet been revealed. But seeing as L&E is Michelin-starred and Wentworth has been much heralded, it stands that this new restaurant, with a "hearth-driven kitchen," will likely gain a lot of attention. Should we expect a lot of grilled and smoked meats?
The Promontory, named for the nearby Promontory Point in Lake Michigan, is set to be part of the 53rd Street revitalization project, which already has a new Clarke's diner and Five Guys Burgers, and adjacent Harper Court project. The addition of another quality restaurant attached to a music venue, will not only give South Siders (in particular University of Chicago folk) a place to hang, it could help make the area more of a destination.
Longman & Eagle in Logan Square (Barry Brecheisen/For RedEye / September 11, 2012)
Empty Bottle's Bruce Finkelman and Craig Golden, of Space in Evanston, are currently prepping their newest venture, The Promontory (1539 E. 53rd St.), for an early 2013 opening.
Finkelman—who is also behind Logan Square's Longman & Eagle, a bar-restaurant-hotel hybrid that serves up contemporary American treats such as Kentucky fried quail and roast leg of venison—is keeping quiet about many of the details, including the style of cuisine The Promontory will serve.
He did confirm that the owners are currently renovating the building and the space will offer live music events and food.
The team behind The Promontory—named after Hyde Park's nearby Promontory Point lakefront area, which in 1933-1934 housed Chicago's second World's Fair—will also include Longman & Eagle chef Jared Wentworth.

Brussels, 1 December 2010
European Stability Mechanism (ESM) – Q&A
A new permanent crisis mechanism, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), will be set up in the euro area as of mid-2013. Following a proposal by the European Commission, this was agreed by the euro area Ministers of Finance on 28 November 2010.
This agreement will be reflected in the proposal for an amendment to the Treaty that will be submitted by President Herman Van Rompuy to the European Council in December 2010.
What is the ESM?
The ESM is a crisis mechanism set up to safeguard financial stability in the euro area. Its main features will build on the existing European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF).
The ESM will complement the new framework for reinforced economic surveillance in the EU. This new framework, which includes in particular a stronger focus on debt sustainability and more effective enforcement measures, focuses on prevention and will substantially reduce the probability of a crisis emerging in the future.
When will it be operational?
The ESM will become operational as of mid-2013 following the expiry of the existing EFSF.
An overall evaluation of the new mechanism will be performed by the Commission, in liaison with the ECB, in 2016.
How will the ESM work?
The ESM will be able to provide assistance to euro area Member States in financial distress. Assistance will be conditional on the implementation of a strict economic and fiscal adjustment programme, in line with existing arrangements.
What form will private sector involvement take?
Private sector involvement will be decided on a case-by-case basis, fully in line with IMF usual practices. There will be no automatic solutions and no prior requirement. The exact form of the participation by private creditors will depend on the specific nature of the problem to be addressed and will be fully consistent with IMF practices.
What type of crises will be addressed?
A distinction will be made between liquidity and solvency crises. This will be based on a debt sustainability analysis (DSA) conducted by the European Commission and the IMF, in liaison with the ECB. DSAs are usual practice in IMF-led assistance programmes.
In case of a liquidity problem, ESM support will be provided conditional to an adjustment programme and private creditors will be encouraged to maintain their exposure, in line with the current EU and IMF practice. Voluntary arrangements to maintain the exposure in a country under financial assistance were for instance already put in place in Hungary, Romania and Latvia (the so called 'Vienna initiative').
In the unexpected event that the debt sustainability analysis reveals that a country could be insolvent, the Member State will have to negotiate a comprehensive plan with its private creditors, in line with IMF practices, and liquidity assistance under the ESM may be provided.
What happens in the extreme and unlikely case of insolvency?
Collective Action Clauses (CACs) will be included in the terms and conditions of all new euro area sovereign bonds starting in June 2013. These clauses will be standardized and identical for all countries and will provide the legal basis for the negotiation process with creditors.
CACs will enable the creditors to pass by qualified majority a decision agreeing a legally binding change to the terms of payment. This could take the form of a standstill, extension of maturity, interest-rate cut and/or haircut, depending on the specific case.
CACs will be consistent with those common under UK and US law after the G10 report on CACs. They will include aggregation clauses allowing all new debt securities issued by a Member State after 2013 to be considered together in negotiations.
Loans under the ESM will enjoy preferred creditor status, junior only to IMF loans.
Will private sector involvement apply before 2013?
No. The provisions for private sector involvement will not apply before mid-2013.
Will CACs increase the risk of debt restructuring?
No. The insertion of collective action clauses does not per se increase the risk of restructuring. The clause is a simple tool to facilitate the discussion between a debtor and its creditors. The risk of restructuring depends on one thing and one thing only: the sustainability of the debt of the Member State concerned. The implementation of the new economic governance package will precisely help ensuring that the debt level of the Member States remains on a sustainable path.
Are CACs a new idea?
No. It is by no means a new idea. Following discussions at the G10, the Ecofin Council had already concluded in 2003 that the Member States should include collective action clauses in their government bonds issued under foreign law or jurisdiction.
The EU itself has today collective action clauses in all its bond issuances.

It's not about competence, it's about time and effort spent. I wouldn't need to compile every application myself if there was a ABI. It's not a particularly difficult thing to do, it just going through the hoops of doing it every time you need an application. The ability to install a cluster and type '[apt-get|yum] install pmb' would be a truly wonderful thing indeed. You also make the assumption that it's the high-performance vendors who do things differently, I don't believe this is the case. Quadrics for example (my employer) happen to use whatever ABI MPICH (1.2.x) provides as we have never had a reason to modify it. I believe the same holds for Myrinet, I've certinally run binaries compiled against Myrinet MPI on our MPI stack without obvious problems. Having said that though I have never attempted to verify binary compatibility and we don't support such programs but insist they are correctly compiled before support requests get more than a cursory glance.

Researcher: Students who listened to a lecture via iTunes U outperformed those who attended in person -- pause button a factor
By Dennis Carter, Assistant Editor
The ability to pause and rewind podcast lectures gave the upper hand to college students in a recent study that compared the performance of students who attended a lecture in person and those who viewed it from iTunes University.
The study, "iTunes University and the Classroom: Can Podcasts Replace Professors?," was conducted at the State University of New York Fredonia. It called for some introductory psychology students to watch a recorded lecture available online and others to attend a traditional classroom lecture. Students who watched the lecture podcast--available from the iTunes U online video library--scored an average of 71 percent. Students who sat through the 30-minute classroom lecture scored an average of 62 percent, according to the study.
Dani McKinney, the study's lead researcher, said test scores were most dramatically affected by note taking. Students who watched the video lecture and took notes, McKinney said, scored an average of 15 points higher than their peers in the lecture hall.

Google Earth now allows exploration of oceans, Mars
Google Inc. has launched a new version of its Google Earth software that allows users to explore the oceans, view images of Mars, and watch regions of the Earth change over time. The new features mark a significant upgrade to Google Earth, a popular software program that provides access to the world's geographical information through digital maps, satellite imagery, and the company's search tools. Google Earth 5.0 was unveiled at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, where former Vice President Al Gore, singer Jimmy Buffet, and others spoke about its capacity to educate the public about global warming, ocean acidification, and other threats to the planet. "This is an extremely powerful educational tool," said Gore, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work raising awareness about climate change.

The first page I have decided to keep simple so I started off by scribbling with candle wax.
Covering the page with water soluble black ink.
Then applying gum arabic prints of moths, beetles and cow parsley in black and silver.
The second page became more adventurous...wax first then some gestural marks in Mars orange and orange acrylic ink.
Then a layer of water soluble and indian black ink, finishing off with the same gum arabic transfers.
Now I have 2 pages ready to bleach, scrape and draw into which will in turn inspire some enamel pieces.
It has been a liberating experience working on a larger scale, usually my sketch books are A5 and smaller. Bigger marks, bigger photocopies.
My next sketch book techniques and gum arabic transfer course is here in Cheltenham in October.

This year Congress is debating reauthorization of the expiring provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), widely considered the most effective civil rights law in American history for its ability to protect the right to vote of all Americans. When passed in 1965, the VRA put teeth into the 15th Amendment's guarantee that no citizen can be denied the right to vote because of the color of their skin. Nonetheless, there is no question that barriers to equal minority voter participation continue to exist today, making VRA reauthorization imperative.

Author Notes: This is one of my favorite fall recipes because it is just perfect with a roast or paired with lamb chops. For a more robust dish, use the maximum amount of gruyere. Butter is optional but not the the vermouth which adds nice depth of flavor. It is important that the potatoes be close to uniform in size so that they all cook evenly (and most importantly, don't get too soft). The end result should be tender potatoes steeped in a rich flavorful cream sauce. Finally, ENJOY! —AlexisC
Food52 Review: The secret to a great gratin is not trying too hard. Potatoes are delicious; there's no need to smother them. And this is a point that AlexisC clearly gets. Her potatoes are gently scented with leek and garlic and enriched with cream and Gruyere. AlexisC has you bake the gratin at a fairly low temp – 300 degrees – so by the time the gratin emerges from the oven, the layers of potato are buttery in texture and topped with a crisp, caramelized crust. As for all gratins, buy yourself a mandoline (the best are the inexpensive Japanese-style ones) – it will preserve your sanity and make for uniform slices. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 4 to 6
Leeks (medium size)
Garlic Clove
splash Vermouth (or dry white wine)
2 to 2 1/2
pounds Boiling Potatoes (approx 6-7medium size potatoes such as Yukon Gold)
1 to 1 1/4
cups Grated Gruyere
1 1/4
cups Heavy Cream
tablespoons Unsalted Butter
Kosher or Sea Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
small saute pan
10 inch long / 2 inch deep baking dish.
Shavings of Gruyere
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Remove roots and green leaves from leeks. Wash and dry the white part of the leek.
- Split leeks in half lengthwise. Then chop crosswise into thin to medium size half moon crescents. Dice garlic
- Sauté leeks slowly in approximately one tablespoon of the butter on medium low heat in a nonstick pan until soft but not brown (about 6-8 minutes). Add garlic and sauté for a minute more. Add a dash of vermouth (or white wine) and sauté a minute more until most of the vermouth (white wine) has evaporated. The leeks should be damp, but not swimming in vermouth (white wine). Remove leeks from heat, cover and let sit.
- Peel and slice potatoes evenly into approximatly 1/8 inch slices. Dump slices in cold water as you slice so that the potatoes don't turn brown. (note: I peel and slice each potato individually rather than peeling them all first so that the peeled potatoes spend less time sitting around possibly turning brown.)
- Grate a block of gruyere so that you have 1 cup of grated gruyere.
- Lightly butter the baking dish. Drain potatoes taking care not to break them.
- Lay down one layer of potato in the dish. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Then sprinkle with sautéed leek mixture. Then sprinkle with some of the gruyere. Finally dot with one or two bits of butter (optional). Repeat sequence until all potatoes are used. The last layer should be just a layer of potatoes.
- Slowly pour cream all over potatoes in dish. Finish with a few shavings of gruyere which will give a nice color and a little bit of crust. Bake for approximately 1 ¼ to 1 1/2 hours. Cream should simmer and may even gently bubble, but it should never boil (boiling will cause the cream to separate and curdle). It's done when it has a nice golden brown / orange color; the potatoes are tender but still hold their shape; and the cream has thickened and reduced slightly. Let cool for 15-20 min before serving.

As we become acquainted with truth in good sources of all kinds, we are better prepared to work in the world and serve in the kingdom of God. The Lord revealed, "The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth" (D&C 93:36). All truth comes from Heavenly Father and is designed for the good of His children. God wants us to educate our minds, improve our skills, and perfect our abilities so we can be a better influence for good in the world, provide for ourselves, our family, and those in need, and build God's kingdom (see D&C 88:78–80).
All truth, whether religious or secular, is included in God's plan for our salvation and happiness. The Prophet Joseph Smith taught, "Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection. And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life … he will have so much the advantage in the world to come" (D&C 130:18–19).
The Lord has given each of us gifts and encourages us to improve upon them and seek other gifts (see D&C 46:8, 11; 1 Corinthians 12:31). He has also instructed us to "seek learning, even by study and also by faith" (D&C 88:118). Church leaders encourage members to engage in efforts to increase literacy, learning, and skills training.
God's modern-day prophets have encouraged both men and women to get as much education as they can. President Gordon B. Hinckley told young men to "work for an education… . Get all the training you can" ("Living Worthy of the Girl You Will Someday Marry," Ensign or Liahona, May 1998). President Thomas S. Monson urged the young women of the Church to "pursue your education—if you are not already doing so or have not done so" ("Three Goals to Guide You," Ensign or Liahona, November 2007).

A man who was shot Monday night in the parking lot of a 24 Hour Fitness club in El Cajon, CA, was in stable condition on Tuesday, according to multiple San Diego media reports.
The 28-year-old man was shot in the abdomen after a fight with another man in the club's parking lot, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. The shooting occurred in a dark area of a side parking lot, the newspaper reported.
Members of the club told the newspaper that the shooting victim ran into the gym and collapsed on the floor after he was shot. 24 Hour employees called 911 at around 8:50 p.m. Pacific time and tended to the victim before he was taken to a hospital. The shooter remains on the loose.
24 Hour said that it is cooperating with local police during the investigation.
"The safety and security of our members and our community are top priorities for 24 Hour Fitness, and we have placed additional security onsite for the forseeable future," the company said in a statement.
The San Ramon, CA-based company has had its share of violence and tragedy in the past year. Last May, a man was stabbed to death in the parking lot of a club in Buena Park, CA. Last August, the wife of a 24 Hour employee survived a stabbing in her car in the club's parking lot in Sacramento, CA. In March, a 24 Hour member was killed in the parking lot of a club in Costa Mesa, CA, after he crashed his car. The victim suffered an apparent heart attack.
Tragedy struck a 24 Hour employee earlier this month. A man who taught water aerobics at 24 Hour clubs in Rohnert Park and Santa Rosa, CA, as well as at a local YMCA died after he was swept away in the current of a river while white-water rafting. Stan Decker of Rohnert Park was 59. His daughter told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat that her father helped three people get on a raft after they were thrown from their boat before her father was pulled back into the water and was overcome by a current.
