The Albtrauf escarpment in the Swabian Jura is unparalleled in Europe. We hike on the Albsteig Trail, which mostly follows the Albtrauf escarpment with a drop of up to 300 metres
The Albsteig Trail is the oldest hiking trail in the Swabian Jura. We discover the region's scenic beauty on many narrow paths. Nevertheless, the Albsteig Trail is physically demanding and difficult throughout. So hikers have a decision to make: athletic hikers can do the Albsteig Trail in 15 stages; leisurely hikers can do it in 25.
The Albsteig Trail is guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience, one highlight being the breathtaking view of Hohenzollern Castle. The vantage point on the Zeller Horn mountain is one of the most beautiful spots in Germany.
We hike past several other castles, caves and bizarre rock formations and discover a very special highlight: the Urach Waterfall on the outskirts of Bad Urach. And we are rewarded time and time again with fantastic views of the hilly landscape around Stuttgart.
Manuel Andrack, editor, presenter, author and hiking blogger:
"Hohenneuffen Castle is one of the most outstanding castles on the Albsteig Trail. Visitors can have a look around the expansive castle grounds for free and quench their thirst with a drink in the restaurant."

Saturday, April 23rd is easily the biggest night of International Pop Overthrow - Chicago 2011. WXRT is sponsoring the event, and the Material re-Issue gig, featuring singer-guitarist Phil Angotti, along with original members, bassist Ted Ansani and drummer Mike Zelenko, has been generating a lot of publicity. All the attention should result in a packed house, and hopefully some new people who'll become regular visitors to this annual celebration of power pop and indie rock music.
So, tomorrow is sort of a Media Blitz Eve at The Abbey Pub. There's a lot of Chicago musical history within this six-act lineup, and as always, promoter David Bash has assembled some impressive talent.
True to its name, Your Gracious Host, a Michigan-based band led by former Autoliner member Tom Curless, exudes an easy-going vibe on tunes like the intricate "Admit To Myself" and more energetic "I Feel Alright." The band's indie rock approach is crafted from acoustic and electric guitars, along with layers of vocals. Your Gracious Host has released two CDs, the more recent one being Easy Red.
The spotlight currently being shone on singer-guitarist Phil Angotti is due to his role in Saturday night's Material re-Issue show, but his new People And Places CD merits attention as well. Angotti's power pop resume reaches back to the days when he fronted The Idea, so this Friday night's solo show qualifies as one of IPO - Chicago's highlights as well.
Singer-guitarist Kevin Junior was one of the chief artists behind the renaissance power pop of The Chamber Strings, a multi-faceted ensemble that has released two critically-acclaimed CDs. Look for his new solo work to carry on in that tradition.
Singer-guitarist-keyboards player Ellis Clark's contributions extend well beyond Epicycle, which in itself would cover several years of being at the cutting edge of the Chicago music scene. He was also behind the melodic rock of Social Act, and is currently a member of The Handcuffs, the indie rock band fronted by vocalist-guitarist Chloe F. Orwell and drummer Brad Elvis. Brad Elvis will be at the drum kit for Clark's Friday's show.
Doleful Lions have a droll sense of humor that's manifested in the title of their latest CD on Parasol Records, Let's Break Bobby Beausoleil Out Of Prison. They also recently posted a minimalist music video by frontman Jonathan Scott on their Facebook page. Some of the off-kilter pop tunes they might be playing Friday night include "Underground Werewolf Scribe Agape" and "The Brooks Brothers Riots."
Penthouse Sweets are no strangers to The Abbey Pub, having been part of IPO - Chicago showcases there in the past. The band, led by vocalist-guitarist Andy Hansen and guitarist-vocalist Lou Hallwas, combines funny antics and solid musicianship on songs like "Dark Eyes." "Smart Black Dress," from the latest EP, See You In Bed, is a rollicking number that evokes The Rolling Stones

Rapids defender Drew Moor following the 1-0 loss at Portland
Overall thoughts on the game:
"It was a good game. We're unfortunate to not have anything to show for it. I thought other than the last five, seven, maybe 10 minutes of the first half where Portland were probably the better team. I thought it was a pretty even game. They always make it tough here, they certainly did tonight, but I thought defensively we were very solid. Like I said other than maybe five minutes of the first half when they got their goal... and at the end of the day we had a couple pretty good opportunities to tie it up, which I think if you look at the overall game, it would have been more of a fair result. But, when you don't put the ball in the back of the net you get punished for it."
On the quick turnaround between the next match with Portland on Wednesday:
"We got to put it behind us. We came into a tough atmosphere and played well, played better than we did the past couple weeks, certainly better than we did last weekend in San Jose. But, you got to put it behind you and they have to come to our place. Quick turn arounds are usually good after performances like this where you play well and you don't get the result because you get to put it behind you quick and move forward and look forward to it."
Moor: A tie would've been a fair result

Gutai: Splendid Playground presents the creative spectrum of Japan's most influential avant-garde collective of the postwar era. Founded by the visionary artist Yoshihara Jirō in 1954, the Gutai group was legendary in its own time. Its young members explored new art forms combining performance, painting, and interactive environments, and realized an "international common ground" of experimental art through the worldwide reach of their exhibition and publication activities. Against the backdrop of wartime totalitarianism, Gutai forged an ethics of creative freedom, breaking through myriad boundaries to create some of the most exuberant works and events in the history of Japanese and international avant-garde art.
The Gutai: Splendid Playground exhibition runs from February 15–May 8, 2013 at the Guggenheim Museum. The exhibition includes a free interactive mobile app, featuring voiceover narration by ME!
JETAANY is organizing an informal group outing to see the exhibition on Saturday, March 16 during "pay as you wish" admission hours from 5:45 pm-7:45 pm. Feel free to arrive anytime and explore the museum at your own pace. I will be at the museum at 5:45 pm on the 16th if you would like to meet up.

VIDEO DOWNLOAD - Face Off Volume 12 - Kevin Nash & Sean Waltman
We have captured some emotional moments before on video but last nights will over ride anything we have ever shot. You will see another side of Kevin and Sean as they discuss in great detail what happened when Sean tried to take his own life in Mexico. Both men break down and you can feel the bond between them as Kevin and Sean go into great detail of what happened on that horrific weekend. The tears are flowing in the room even by Ryan Shamrock who made a very special appearance on the shoot. Kevin and Sean both broke down as they recounted in great detail on how Kevin saved Seans life. This story in itself makes the entire DVD on its own but there was so much other information that is going to really wake up the wrestling world when it comes to drugs and all of the recent deaths as we really talked harsh about the recent events of people passing away. Kevin and Sean speak out for the first time ever and give their most humble and honest opinions on all of these matters especially when it comes to blaming anyone in the business for these passings.
Both men share some of the most inside stories when it comes to doing drugs in the business. I was shocked to hear some of them as I never thought they would be this honest but RF VIDEO was able to get them to open up so we could really educate the fans and other wresters on these matters. You will hear from Kevin how at times he is even surprised that they are even alive themselves. They take you inside the antics of the clique and how they used to party. We discuss Scott Hall as well and how he is doing these days. You will never get a chance to ever hear these stories anywhere else.
We talked all about the current events in the wrestling business today especially what really went down when he posted his latest rant against TNA on his twitter account. Kevin and Sean talk all about the backstage politics of TNA. What do they think needs to be done to get the company on the right track? What do they think of the Hulkster and Bischoff connection in TNA. His most recent comments on RVD and Jeff Hardy. Do they like working for Dixie Carter? Who in TNA has the it factor? They were just a few of the topics that we talked about when it came to TNA. Trust me when I say this, you have never ever seen a interview like this one.
What happened backstage with the Rock and Kevin Nash when Kevin returned to the WWE. This story was awesome in itself. Kevin gave his brutal comments on ECW and what he thinks of Paul Heyman. What do both men think of Bret Hart being back in the WWE and what did they think about his angle with HBK. What do they think about the NXT angle and the

Renovated dorm welcomes students
PLAINVIEW - Malissa Johnston was pleasantly surprised when she moved back into Owen Hall in preparation for the fall semester at Wayland Baptist University that officially begins Wednesday.
"It's amazing," she said.
Owen Hall underwent renovation this summer, the first such improvements on the building in its 42-year history. The 94-bed dormitory, affectionately termed "The Hospital" for its hospital-like lighting and appearance, opened in 1961 and is expected to be filled to capacity this term.
"We just gave it a good general overhaul," said Dean of Students Emmitt Tipton, who oversaw the project. "It needed some repair. It wasn't falling down by any means, but it needed some repair."
Johnston, a junior education major from Portales, N.M., is serving as a Resident Assistant in Owen Hall this year, her third in the dorm. She said the improvements will definitely make a difference among the student population.
"When you walked into your room, the halls, everything was like a hospital and nobody liked it," Johnston said. "We had a bad reputation.
"(The renovation) makes a huge difference in the appearance and it makes it more homey and attractive. I think the freshmen will really appreciate it as well as the returning students."
Each room has been carpeted and will have new beds as well as new lighting. Gone are the fluorescent bulbs jutting out from the walls just above the beds, similar to what you find in a hospital room, and new lighting has been installed in the ceilings.
The furniture in each room was also overhauled. As opposed to purchasing entirely new furniture for the dorm, the old furniture was taken out and repaired by students. Chairs and desks were sanded, stained, glued, nailed and renewed.
A major part of the repair involved the bathrooms and showers. The metal door frames near the showers were showing signs of damage and rust from 42 years of usage. The frames have been replaced and the bathrooms have been re-vented to keep moisture from accumulating at the top of the ceiling.
Not only did the summer work address repair needs, but the university looked at safety issues as well. All of the asbestos tiling has been replaced and a new fire sprinkler system was installed.
Johnston hopes the improvements will make the residents feel more at home.
"I know a lot of freshmen get homesick and maybe this will help them feel more comfortable and at ease," she said. "When it looks good, you can fill the place with excitement, too."

CHESTER, Pa. — Anytime you can dominate a match against the defending MLS Cup champions, you know you're doing something right.
Real Salt Lake may have played some of their backups, and they were on the road in an intimidating atmosphere, but the Philadelphia Union pushed them to the limit on Wednesday night—something team manager Peter Nowak was quite proud of, even if they only came away with a point.
"I believe there was a good effort from both teams," Nowak said of the 1-1 draw at PPL Park. "There was a lot of running and a lot of combinations. It took one quick play and we got the goal.
"We put in a lot of heart today, and I told the guys in the locker room that I'm proud of the effort. The last game [a 3-1 loss in Dallas on Saturday] wasn't our best game, and we didn't play as we are supposed to. We came back stronger and the mentality is getting better."
With each passing match, the Union continue to build into a more complete team, one that could challenge for a playoff spot if they start to earn some more positive results.
For Sebastien Le Toux, who wonderfully set up Philadelphia's only goal with a crafty flick to rookie Danny Mwanga, the improvements the team have shown are thanks to a sharp team focus that, even in defeat, is unwavering.
"I think now we really know each other and are able to see ourselves as what type of team we are," Le Toux said. "We just need to be better every day. We're not thinking about playoffs or the championship at the end because right now, as you've seen, we commit lots of mistakes. We just think about winning games.
"Like our coach told us after the matches against Columbus and Dallas, we just need to continue to work hard—don't put our head down or get frustrated as we still have lots of games left."
They are, however, getting to that stage in the season where ties will come back to haunt them. Dominating game after game and not taking the full three points is certainly a habit they hope to break.
Despite this trend, Le Toux was pleased with how they were able to bounce back from their two previous losses. He said he believes that if they keep the right attitude going forward, good things will come.
"It was a good game to come back to after Dallas," Le Toux said. "We had a good twenty minutes there, but it was a pretty frustrating match. Tonight, to come back after that, was good. And then on Saturday, we hope to stay positive and win that game."

Believe it or not, the only time the voice cast of FX's animated spy series Archer gets together is during events like Comic-Con or the TCA press tour. So it's a special treat for them to participate in Archer Live!, an in-person event that not only lets the cast members get out of the recording booth and riff on each other in person, but lets them interact with their rabid fanbase in a variety of ways. Outstanding vocal talent H. Jon Benjamin, Aisha Tyler, Chris Parnell, Amber Nash and Lucky Yates were on hand along with executive producer Matt Thompson to hold a fan Q&A, reenact some favorite scenes, preview episodes of the upcoming fourth season and take us all into the danger zone.
Season three of Archer will be available on DVD and Blu-ray starting January 8th. The season four premiere of Archer debuts on FX at 10PM ET/PT on Thursday, January 17th. Hit the jump for a recap of Archer Live! and a preview of season four.
I wasn't exactly sure what to expect when I attended Archer Live!, but it turns out that neither did the cast members. When asked what they had in store for the audience tonight, Thompson replied:
"A trainwreck…but fun in its trainwreckiness."
Benjamin, the voice of Sterling Archer, replied in his characteristically dry tone:
"A hate letter to fans."
But the fans ate up every minute of the zany event, with set pieces ranging from trivia on Dr. Krieger (proctored by Yates, the voice of the German scientist), an Archer look-alike with the voice of an off-stage Benjamin, a live scene read from the two-part finale of season four, the occasional t-shirt cannon firing accompanied by "Danger Zone," and the eventual fan Q&A. There was also a preview of season four, but I'll save the spoilery bits for later on in the article.
After Yates finished warming up the crowd with a "We want Krieger!" chant, the rest of the cast members took to the stage. Archer Live! plays loose and relaxed with plenty of room for improv and surprises. The first surprise was an exclusive clip played for the audience from an upcoming season four episode, one that danced dangerously close to "tentacle porn." If you've stopped reading after that last sentence, then Archer is clearly not the show for you, because that shit was hilarious.
After a live scene read of a part of the season four finale, the cast invited an audience member up on stage to read the part of Cyril Figgis as he helps ISIS agent Lana Kane disarm a bomb in the season one episode, "Skytanic." The cast then reenacted another scene from a recent season three episode, "Drift Problem" in which Pam Poovey becomes a drift car racer.
The entire event was peppered with antics, jabs and sweet moments between the cast members and the audience members themselves. If you can get to San Francisco on Friday the 4th, Philadelphia on the 11th or New York on January 12th, I'd highly recommend checking out Archer Live! if you're a fan. Tickets can be found on ticketmaster.com. Otherwise, you can pick up season three of Archer on DVD and Blu-ray starting January 8th. Season four of Archer returns to FX starting Thursday, January 17th at 10PM ET/PT. Continue reading below if you're not afraid of spoilers.
- Dr. Krieger will have some hero moments in the upcoming season and will set up a mission in one episode.
- Krieger will also make "mechanical parts" for Ray Gillette.
- Nash, who voices Pam, was once again forced to eat in the booth while recording her dialogue, to the point that Cheez Ball residue covered everything.
- Cyril will get progressively more badass in the next season.
- Malory Archer will enter into a romance with a character voiced by Jessica Walter's real life husband, Ron Leibman.
- Cyril and Lana will get back together, leaving Archer all alone.
- Tyler was not particularly blown away by Skyfall, saying, "Watch Skyfall. When no one fucks or curses, come watch Archer."
- Dr. Krieger's full name is Dr. Algernop Krieger and his favorite invention is the "Heavy Gourdinator."
- With Benjamin providing the voice of the real life lookalike Archer stand-in, he confesses to loving German porn because, "it's really serious…people die."
- The scene read from the two-part season four finale involves a Stealth Bomber crash landing in the Bermuda Triangle, which Malory is attempting to sell in a plan that sounds a bit treasonous. Archer is confused as to why they haven't bombed Bermuda sooner.
- Season four will feature a crossover episode with characters from Benjamin's other animated show, Bob's Burgers, which will "Archer-ify" the main characters.
- Yates is actually a model for the show's character design of Ray Gillette.
- Creator Adam Reed is a Francophile.
- A short sequence was screened that featured Archer injured in an explosion only to come through his plastic surgery looking like Benjamin himself, a short, bald, bearded man who has lost all of his charisma as a secret agent.
- Cheryl/Carol's brother will show up in the finale.
- Pam will attempt to become an agent in season four.
- Season four will also feature an episode that pays homage to Sealab 2021.
- Upcoming guest stars include Timothy Olyphant and Anthony Bourdain, though the season three Blu-ray/DVD has an extra showing a scene with Alton Brown.

Jeff Young
I grew up in an academic family, where my father was a Professor of Political Science. I switched into economics as an undergraduate. I earned a BA in Economics at the University of Maine, and a Ph.D. at the University of Colorado.
My teaching and research interests are in the History of Economic Thought and the Economics of Natural Resources. As a Christian economist I have also been interested in certain connections between economics and ethics, which focuses primarily on the works of Adam Smith, the great eighteenth century moral philosopher who is also credited with founding the modern discipline of economics. In my work I have investigated the connections between Adam Smith's moral and economic writings particularly with reference to his theory of justice. I have also had a long-standing interest in Malthusian theories of population and the relationships between economic growth, population, and natural resource scarcity.
In addition to core courses in economics, I offer courses in the economics of natural resources and a variety of senior seminars on topics ranging from Adam Smith's writings to Malthusian theories of population to Keynesian macroeconomics.

Your baby's sleep - expert dossier
Sleep disorders in young children, by Dr. Lyliane Nemet-Pier, clinical psychologist.
When can a young child be said to be suffering from a sleep disorder?
"We start using the term "sleep disorder" at around the age of 6 months if the problems occur every day and night, and especially when the parents are no longer able to bear it. A sleep disorder therefore depends on the tolerance of the parents – because it is not really a major problem for the child.
Up until the age of 6 months, a baby is only really suffering from the sleep disorder if they do not sleep at all, or for no than 15 minutes at a time, or if they are unable to sleep through a number of sleep cycles in sequence."
What psychological sleep disorders do children suffer from and what are their causes?
"The most common disorders are difficulties in falling asleep and waking up many times during the night, after which the child is unable to go back to sleep by themselves It can sometimes be difficult to determine the causes – each case is specific.
It may be a child-rearing problem (a child who is largely left to do whatever they want during the day is suddenly forced to go to bed, used to sleeping cradled in someone's arms with a pacifier or bottle), the behaviour of the parents who are afraid that their baby will die or run to them at the slightest cry (problem during pregnancy, traumatic separation, feeling of guilt or depression), psychological changes in the environment (problems in the relationship, redundancy, death in the family, moving house or change in childcare arrangements, etc.). Or they could be due to a lack of emotional affection towards child, who does not see his parents enough during the day to have a peaceful night's rest. Or, if they appear in the Oedipal phase, they can be due to the jealousy of the child, who cannot stand his parents being together when they go to bed.
Night terrors are much less common. They may be due to psychological factors and can occur in relatively introverted children who find it hard to express what they feel during the day - especially emotions such as aggressiveness of jealousy towards a little brother who has just been born, for example.
They must not be confused with nightmares, which are completely normal and form part of a child's psychological development and the difficulties they encounter. In the case of night terrors, there is no need to wake (…) or console the child as they are fast asleep and unable to hear any soothing words. But as far as nightmares are concerned, they really do need to be consoled. If night terrors or nightmares occur too frequently, you should take your child to a psychologist."
How can these sleep disorders be cured?
"First of all, you must teach your baby to be on their own or play by themselves at certain times of the day. By learning how to be alone for a few minutes, then for increasingly long periods during the day, they'll be able to remain alone in their beds without any anxiety. They also need to learn and develop ways (thumb sucking, a security blanket or adopting a different position) for calming themselves down on their own and falling asleep without their parents' help. This way, when they wake up in the middle of the night, they will be able to fall asleep again on their own. If a major event occurs which affects close friends or family, you should talk to your child or baby about it so that they don't feel responsible for their parents' unhappiness. If sleeping disorders continue, take your child to a specialist psychologist."

Work Step by Step
$$(6.1\times10^{-8})(2\times10^{-4})$$ Regroup like terms then simplify $$=(6.1\times2)(10^{-8}\times10^{-4})$$ $$=12.2\times10^{(-8+(-4))}$$ $$=12.2\times10^{-12}$$ To convert a number into scientific notation, move the decimal point so that you have a result whose absolute value is between one and ten, including one. Multiply the result by ten with an exponent equal to the number of places you moved the decimal point. If the decimal was moved to the left, the exponent will be positive. If the decimal was moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal was not moved, the exponent will be zero. $$=(1.22\times10^{1})\times10^{-12}$$ $$=1.22\times10^{(1+(-12))}$$ $$=1.22\times10^{-11}$$

- Yield
- Makes about 45 strips
- Active Time
- 45 min
- Total Time
- 6 hr
- 2 small grapefruits
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup superfine granulated sugar
- With peel still on fruit, quarter peel lengthwise then remove, keeping pieces of peel intact. Reserve fruit for another use. Diagonally cut pieces of peel into 1/3-inch-wide strips.
- Put peel in a 3-quart saucepan filled with cold water and bring slowly to a boil over moderate heat. Boil 1 minute and drain. Repeat procedure 4 times to remove bitterness.
- Have ready a lightly oiled large rack set in a shallow baking pan.
- Bring regular granulated sugar and water to a boil in a large heavy skillet, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add peel and boil, stirring, until most of syrup is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
- Turn out peel onto rack, separating pieces. Dry candied peel, uncovered, at room temperature until only slightly sticky, 4 to 8 hours. Toss, a few pieces at a time, in superfine sugar, shaking off excess.
Cooks' notes:
• If sugar syrup begins to crystallize on peel, turn out of skillet immediately. Peel will still be good but will have a different appearance and won't need a sugar coating. • Candied peel keeps in an airtight container at room temperature 1 week or chilled 1 month. If chilled peel becomes too moist, pat dry and reroll in sugar.

The Lumix DMC-FZ40 is the lower-priced linemate to Panasonic's other full-size megazoom, the FZ100. The two are separated by about $100 and a whole lot of features. Many of those features probably aren't deal-breakers for a lot of people, but one of them might be: the FZ100 has a MOS sensor and the FZ40 has a CCD sensor. The sensor change mainly means you lose all of the FZ100's high-speed shooting capabilities.
Other key differences include a lower resolution, fixed LCD; 720p AVCHD Lite movie capture instead of full HD AVCHD movies; and there's no accessory shoe for adding an external mic or flash. If you're not shooting a lot of movies, though, these are for the most part acceptable losses for the price difference.

The main problem is that buyers tend to see the body style and think they're getting dSLR-quality photos and performance, just without the interchangeable lens part. The FZ40 uses the image sensor of a point-and-shoot, though, so the photos are still those of high-quality pocket camera. Photos are very good up to ISO 200 with nice color and relatively low noise. But as soon as you jump up to ISO 400, noise and Panasonic's JPEG processing result in soft smeary details and yellow blotching. ISO 800 is usable at small sizes, but with more of what happens at ISO 400 visible. Photos taken at ISO 1,600 are just plain bad with noise and color issues. This is unfortunate because you need those higher ISOs if you're doing a lot of shooting indoors or in low light without a flash or you're using the zoom in less than full sun.
However, if you don't mind shooting in raw or raw plus JPEG, you can process the images yourself and get much better results than the JPEGs straight from the camera. This is the case with the FZ100, too, but its shooting speeds are faster than the FZ40's. Raw capture drives the shot-to-shot time from the FZ40 up to 4.1 seconds.
Color is very good from the FZ40 up to ISO 400. Subjects appear natural, bright, and reasonably accurate. Plus, there are a number of ways to tweak your color results. Exposure is very good, too. White-balance presets are OK for the most part; however, the auto white balance is not good indoors. Unfortunately, you're stuck with that setting if you're using Intelligent Auto or most of the other automatic shooting modes. Whenever possible, use the presets or take a manual reading, which is really easy to do and you can store two presets.
Panasonic controls the barrel distortion fairly well from the 25mm-equivalent wide-angle lens. There's also little sign of pincushion distortion when the lens is extended. The lens is reasonably consistent edge to edge, though there is a slight bit of softness at the far right side and corners. Fringing is somewhat under control, but not completely. It's clearly visible in very high-contrast areas of photos when they're viewed at full resolution, but not really at smaller sizes.
As for movie quality, its AVCHD Lite clips are sharp with good exposure and color. Low-light recording suffers from the same noise problems as in photos. The zoom does operate while recording, but its movement is picked up by the stereo mic. If you are recording in a very quiet environment, you will hear it in your movies, but otherwise it's difficult to hear.

|Burst mode shot limit (full resolution)
|5 shots (Standard quality); 3 shots (Fine quality)
Other than the loss of burst modes and full HD movies, there are no significant shooting mode differences. For automatic shooting there is the company's Intelligent Auto that combines an ever-growing number of technologies to get the best results. Overall, it works very well, but photos can end up appearing overprocessed. On a side note, Panasonic sticks "Intelligent" in front of no fewer than eight features in this camera. Remembering what each of them does, where they are in the menus, and when you should and shouldn't use them can cause a bit of a headache. They are helpful technologies, but the marketing is really starting to get in the way of using them effectively.
There are 21 scene modes for those times when you want to get specific with your auto shooting. Many of them are available for photos and movies. Five of the scene modes have spots on the Mode dial, and each of them has its own sets of scene modes. Portrait mode, for example, has Normal, Soft Skin, Outdoor, Indoor, and Creative settings. Creative is basically the Normal option with a slider for adjusting aperture, giving users a midway point between an automatic scene mode and aperture-priority mode.
Similarly, Panasonic includes several options for experimenting with color and style. On the Mode dial is a My Color mode with a bunch of filters brought over from the Lumix G series cameras. With names like Expressive, Retro, Pure, High Dynamic, Pin Hole, and Film Grain, they're a lot like what you'd find in a smartphone app. There are color effects you can play with, too, that are for use when you're in other shooting modes.

News Archives - 1998
Augsburg College president William V. Frame announced today that the College has renamed a scholarship program at Augsburg to honor the late M. Anita Hawthorne, who died Jan. 13 after serving for 10 years as the director of Pan-Afrikan Student Services at Augsburg. The scholarship, referred to previously as Augsburg's Pan-Afrikan Scholarship, has been renamed the M. Anita Hawthorne Pan-Afrikan Scholarship.
It will provide up to $1,500 annually for five Augsburg students who have been identified as leaders within their home community, or who have previously attended school and displayed potential to play a significant leadership role on the Augsburg campus. The scholarship's emphasis on leadership is in keeping both with Augsburg's mission of "nurturing leaders in service to the world" and the qualities personified by Hawthorne. Hawthorne invested time and energy helping students make connections with the community and by establishing a mentorship program.
Frame described Hawthorne as "a friend, advocate and colleague in leading our efforts to serve Pan-Afrikan students. Her role in providing the support needed by students has been vital in their life and success at Augsburg. Anita has also been a source of inspiration for all of us in the Augsburg community. We will miss her charm, joy, positive attitude and energy, and we extend our sympathy to her family and to all who were touched by her."
M. Anita Hawthorne was raised in Baton Rouge, La., where she attended South Scotlandville Elementary School and graduated from Southern University Laboratory High School. After receiving her bachelor's degree from Southern University, she earned her master's from Howard University and moved to Minnesota in 1977. Hawthorne served on many boards and committees and held the following leadership positions: advisor to the Excelsior Chorale Ensemble, co-founder of Asili Institute for African Women in the Diaspora, director for the Pan-Afrikan Conference and officer with the Association of Black Psychologists. For information, or to obtain an application for the M. Anita Hawthorne Pan-Afrikan scholarship, call Joe Young, interim director of the Pan Afrikan Program at 612-330-1022, or Dawn Peterson in Admissions at 612-330-1587.
Augsburg is a private college of the liberal arts and sciences and is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

O26 Bracketbusting: South and Midwest RegionsPosted by Adam Stillman on March 18th, 2014
Sing it with me: It's the most wonderful time of the year. The Big Dance is finally upon us. After a terrific regular season, we finally have the bracket in our hands. Before the inexorable slide into ripping them up in exasperation, we are left with hope for a couple more days — hope that we can pick the right Final Four and National Champion. Hope that we can suss out the nearly impossible task of selecting which upsets will actually come to fruition. Will there be another Dunk City-esque run in 2014? Which Other 26 conference team will become America's next darling? Well, we here at the O26 microsite will try to help you out. Let's take a look at the O26 teams — starting with the Midwest and South Regions — and discuss the likelihood that each has to advance this week.
Regional Threats. These are the teams that could be second- and third-weekend squads.
- Wichita State (#1 seed) — The Shockers might be the most polarizing team in the nation. Some people love 'em and want to see a repeat Final Four run, and others want to see them fall flat on their faces, validating their loud group of detractors. The fact is Wichita State is 34-0 and the first team since UNLV in 1991 to enter the NCAA Tournament undefeated. Well, if the Wheatshockers can return to the Final Four, they'll shut those detractors up. They have arguably the toughest path to the Final Four out of all the #1 seeds. Preseason #1 Kentucky in the round of 32, a criminally underseeded #4 Louisville team in the Sweet Sixteen, and then either #2 seed Michigan or #3 seed Duke in the Elite Eight. Woof. This is Wichita State's opportunity to show the nation just how good it is. And the Shockers are plenty good. They boast a top-10 ranking in both offensive and defensive efficiency, per Ken Pomeroy. Star power forward Cleanthony Early also ranked seventh in KenPom's player of the year rankings. With additional prospects in guard Ron Baker and point guard Fred VanVleet, the Shockers could find themselves in Arlington, Texas, in early April.
One and Done. These teams have a solid shot at winning their round of 64 game, but are unlikely to reach the second weekend.

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

Archbishop Chaput Talks Politics ... and Philadelphia
Catholics need to be more involved in politics, Philly archbishop says.
In the wake of his surprisingly frank pastoral letter on the challenges ahead for the Philadelphia Archdiocese, and as a presidential election draws near, we spoke with Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia, the author of Render Unto Caesar: Serving the Nation by Living Our Catholic Beliefs in Political Life during his ad limina visit. During a wide-ranging interview, he reflected with characteristic directness on the distinct but overlapping roles of Catholic bishops, the laity and politicians.
The Capuchin archbishop spoke from Rome with Register correspondent Edward Pentin on Dec. 10.
What have been the highlights of your ad limina visit to Rome?
The highlight is always the visit with the Holy Father. The bishops of Philadelphia — there are five of us (I have four auxiliary bishops) — met with him the day after we arrived. And it was a wonderful half hour where he listened very intensely about our concerns for the Church in the United States and in our own diocese of Philadelphia. He was very supportive in calling us to be good and faithful bishops in the work that lies ahead for us. One of the things Jesus told Peter to do was to confirm the brethren, and this Pope has an extraordinary way of doing that.
There was a change in the ad limina visit from the past. Each bishop used to have a one-on-one with the Holy Father, but now he meets in groups. Those who have had previous experience (including myself) thought that this wasn't a good idea because we very much liked the one-on-one time. But having experienced the method by which he does this, we think it's good for everyone because he focuses on every bishop present. He makes sure everyone says something, looks at the person who speaks, and gives them his full attention. He has a huge ability at the end to synthesize the things that are spoken about.
Is it rather like a tutorial with a professor, in which everyone is free to participate?
It's more like a fraternal experience than it would be a teaching experience. But he's certainly very interested in hearing from us, so he gets to know the Church internationally, but he also knows that we very much look up to him and depend on him as our brother, but also "Peter," who confirms us in the faith.
How useful were your meetings with the various dicasteries?
The bishops pick and choose which dicasteries they go to, and it's generally the ones that are most involved in the life of our local churches. Because of the issue of sex abuse, we certainly talked about that issue with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and also with the Congregation for the Clergy. But the bishops are also interested in the New Evangelization, so the newest Pontifical Council (of the New Evangelization) the bishops went to in great numbers, and also the Congregation for the Laity, women and young people. There was a huge interest in that.
You issued what seems to be a very well-received pastoral letter to the archdiocese on the feast of the Immaculate Conception in which you aired a variety of serious concerns and spoke about difficult times ahead with the completion of your review of priests accused in the grand jury report and church and school closings. Could you tell us more about why you wrote it?
The circumstances in Philadelphia are difficult at the moment. We're in a period of responding to a grand jury report that was negative about the way the archdiocese has handled the issues of sex abuse of minors by the clergy.
In addition to that, we have a major study about the number and locations of Catholic schools. Philadelphia was a place where parochial schools began in the U.S. under the leadership of St. John Neumann, so Catholic education has an extraordinary place in the hearts of our people. But we have huge financial problems as a result of schools using up their resources of their parishes, because we don't have enough students in the schools and yet we have to pay living wages to our teachers in ways that wasn't the case when we had large numbers of religious working.
So we needed to re-order the way we do Catholic education, not to do it less, but to re-order in a way that we save our system so that it doesn't kill itself by just using up all its resources.
We have the issue of priest personnel, Catholic schools and the issue of multiple parishes in the same neighborhood because they were ethnic parishes. But as time has gone on, the people who founded them have moved to other places. We have on the same city block sometimes three to four parishes — how do we manage those in a way that is financially feasible and also respects the tight personnel situation with priests in the local Church?
Also, I'm concerned about the number of seminarians we have. We only have 48, and yet where I come from prior to September — a diocese one-third of the size in terms of Catholics — we had 80 seminarians. So I'm concerned about the number of seminarians. We have a great seminary, Saint Charles Borromeo, but it's underutilized.
You stressed there would be tough times in the year ahead.
All of those issues are coming to a head at the same time. It's the "perfect storm" they talk about. The grand jury has led to the indictment of four priests who have served in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. One of them is a former vicar for clergy who's being accused of participating in an assignment of a priest who had a previous accusation of sexual abuse against him. So we'll have a trial probably in the last three months [of 2012], and you can imagine what that does to the psyche of a diocese where we're in the headlines of the newspapers every day for three months.
All of this is coming together at the same time, and there's a new bishop who's responsible for making decisions and leading us through this difficult time. … [My letter] was, therefore, to say to people: Be prepared because things are going to be tough, and they're going to get worse for us for a while before they're going to get better.
What issues should Catholic voters consider most during the upcoming presidential election year?
First of all, Catholics shouldn't only be interested in politics during an election year. My biggest concern is that no serious Catholics enter politics, whether in active participation of the party they belong to or run for office. So, really, I wish this would be on the minds of Catholics all the time.
An election year [has] an impact on the direction of our country. ... So the role of bishops is really to encourage, inspire and motivate Catholics to become involved politically. Catholics do believe in the separation of church and state, but that's not at all the same as separation of our faith from political life. What it simply means is that the state doesn't tell the Church what to do, nor does the Church have control over the state; they're separate.
But … it's very important that the Church be active. [That] means its people have to be active. Many Catholics aren't active and say there doesn't have to be a moral issue involved in voting and running for office.
There are some very big issues … before us. The Church does have a deep tradition regarding economic issues, and the impact of Catholic morality on the way we do business is very important.
We have ongoing concerns about religious freedom. I've been talking about this for 10 years, but I think everyone is finally aware that this isn't just a passing issue; it's a very fundamental issue. If we don't speak about it now, we'll wake up one day and find we've lost our freedom.
The Holy Father often says it's the fundamental human right because from it come all other human rights.
Yes it is, and it's a way of protecting the right of God over us as compared to the rights of the state over us. Our duties to God are more important than duties to the state. But you know: Our duties to the state flow from our duties to God, so these are very, very important issues.
And yet they're now more under attack than they've ever been.
People say we have our issues with this administration, but this administration is elected because of the mood of our times. It isn't just this administration that has brought these issues upon us — they [have] been in discussion in public life ... for a very long time. We have to also look at Europe [which has] marginalized and sidelined religion in a way that it hasn't been sidelined in the United States.
We need to say, "Just look at Europe" — where Catholics are embarrassed to be religious in the public sphere, especially politicians. They're astonished when people mention God in public discourse.
But isn't the United States different, much more a nation of a people of faith?
We have been, and this would be guaranteed if people would speak up and act because we are still a deeply religious people. But the leadership of a country isn't always representative of its membership, and they tend to be the elite. The elite are very clearly not as religious as the vast majority of people.
Should the Church be more pastoral and corrective in dealing with those publicly dissenting Catholic politicians?
The Church should be with all of our people, not just politicians. People love to hear about people speaking about politicians because it's interesting or controversial, but politicians aren't different from any other Catholics. They have the exact same duties, and they can't make themselves exceptions to obligations Catholics have by saying: Well, I personally believe this, but I can't act that way publicly. They're … asking to be dispensed from being Catholics in public service, and none of us can. Doctors can't be non-Catholic in their practice; lawyers can't be non-Catholic in their practice; so I'd think politicians can't be non-Catholic in their practice.
Would you want to see more leadership from other bishops to say these politicians must offer a coherent witness?
I'd like leadership of bishops on all these issues, not just about politicians. It has to be every day of every year and not just in the election cycle. If we dealt with these questions all the time, we wouldn't have to deal with them in special ways during election cycles.
Should a candidate's own moral failings and inconsistencies in the past have a bearing on how one votes?
Well, it seems to me, we all can change. The heart of all Catholic moral theology is conversion, so if conversion's possible, then we really can trust people to be converted if they say they are — and if they show they are. We have to do more than just to say it; we have to show it.
If someone held a position a year ago, does that mean they'll hold the same position now? I don't think so. I think people genuinely can be converted and genuinely change their mind about things. Someone said a sign of intelligence is to change your mind. […] I think that's true, except when it comes to matters of faith and morals, when we have to submit our own mind to the mind of Christ.
You're held up by some as a model bishop who takes a stand on crucial issues when other bishops often don't. What advice would you share with other bishops?
First of all, I think comparisons are odious. I don't like to be compared to other bishops; I'd like to be compared to Christ and the apostles, and there I fail miserably. So I don't have any advice for other bishops — except that which I take myself, which is: Be faithful to Christ without compromising … to be clear in our preaching and our teaching, and then to model it in our own lives.
Looking ahead to the future of the Church in the U.S., what are the other priorities, the most urgent issues that the Church should be focusing on?
The New Evangelization is the most important issue for the Church generally, everywhere in the world, especially in the West. In Africa and Asia, the first evangelization is going on in some areas, but the New Evangelization is the evangelization of those who claim to be Christian but aren't captured by Christ. Their imaginations aren't captured by the Gospel. It seems to me that all the areas we talked about are contained in that responsibility to teach the Gospel in ways that are always fresh and clear and faithful to the Gospel.
So the New Evangelization should be the preoccupation of all bishops: to make sure that our budgets are in the direction of evangelization, that we don't just maintain structures, but that we promote the faith. It's very easy in an older diocese, which is more complex and as institutional as Philadelphia, to be caught up in managing buildings and the past rather than walking or running into the future. So we have to be sure we don't get strangled by our institutions.
[We should] listen to people, be creative and judge ourselves and our success in preaching the Gospel by conversion. … Personal conversion … takes place one soul at a time. You don't convert an institution — you convert people.
Edward Pentin writes from Rome.

Children are naturally curiousthey want to know "how" and "why." Teaching research skills can help students find answers for themselves. "Skim, Scan, and Scroll," taken from a research skills unit, is a step towards students completing a written research report. Here, students learn to read informational text, looking for supporting details. After the skills of skimming and scanning printed and electronic texts are modeled by the teacher, students practice the skills on their own.
Teaching the process and application of research should be an ongoing part of all school curricula. It is important that research components are taught all through the year, beginning on the first day of school. Dreher et al. explain that "[S]tudents need to learn creative and multifaceted approaches to research and inquiry. The ability to identify good topics, to gather information, and to evaluate, assemble, and interpret findings from among the many general and specialized information sources now available to them is one of the most vital skills that students can acquire" (39). In her article "Rethinking Research," Eileen A. Simmons agrees: "We can't expect students to produce outstanding research papers unless we teach them strategies for gathering information, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating that information through critical thinking." (115)

Drawn Back Somewhere I've Never Been
I'm at the Krakow Airport, after a trip more beautiful and sad and cold than I expected. I'm eating a bagel (they're all the rage here), staring at an empty tarmac and hoping that my delayed flight will get me to Munich on time to make my connection.
Krakow brings to mind the kind of old Europe that reminds me of my great-grandmother. A large part of my family comes from the eastern part of Galicia (the southern part of Poland). The town we're from is now in the Ukraine, but at one time it was all the same country. The food here smells like my house did during the holidays. The Jewish history of the city is palpable and tragic and you can feel it wherever you go, even in the souvenir markets. The deep Antisemitism that existed in Poland before the war has, in many cases, been replaced by a kind of nostalgia for the decimated culture. There are lots of "Jewish style" restaurants and Kazimierz (the old Jewish quarter) is now the vibrant, trendy area of town, with tons of pubs and galleries. The markets are filled with carved wooden figurines of Jews in traditional garb, like the ones pictured above. I wasn't sure how to feel about them.
I felt particularly moved by the old temple and the cemetery at Remu, built in 1553. It was ancient and intrepid and quiet. Even the building itself felt like a survivor.
I went to Shabbat services at the bright and modern Galicia Jewish Museum. I happened to be walking by and heard the music and it sounded great, with a Klezmer type of feel, so I went in. There was a large group of tourists there and it was a lively service. It definitely feels that there's an effort to keep some Jewish soul of the place alive. I asked someone how many local Jews generally attended and he said about twenty. The entire Jewish population of Krakow now is around 500. Before the war it was 60,000.
I surprised myself by attending services, as I don't usually go at home. A lot was surprising about the trip. It was meant to be a work trip- promotion for the Polish translation of my memoir- not some rootsy back-to-my-origins pilgrimage. Yet after services, I found myself saying to a guy from Hungary, "Something drew my back here." I don't know why I put it that way. It's not as if I had ever been there before.
My trip to Auschwitz is another story and I need a moment to sit with it before I blog about it. It left me feeling like one of those cartoon characters that got an anvil dropped on its head. I'm still half-flattened. It's going to take me a minute to rearrange myself and figure out how to put words to my experience.
Now Israel is bombing Gaza and my head is spinning with sadness about all of it, all of it. I'm grateful for my trip. And I can't wait to get home.

Archos, a company which among all other things also manufacturers Android tablets, has announced that it will be upgrading all the variants of its G9 tablet to Ice Cream Sandwich starting from the first week of February.
While the Archos G9 series of tablet are not really popular, they are still pretty good and decently priced. Forr the unknown, the G9 tablet is powered by a dual-core OMAP4 processor, packs 1GB of RAM, a PowerVR SGX540 GPU and come with either an 8-inch screen or a 10-inch one. The tablets are also available with either flash storage or a 250GB hard disk as well.
The usual connectivity features like Wi-Fi, GPS and sensors are also present. Also, unlike quite a few other Android tablets, the G9 series runs on stock Android 3.2 Honeycomb. All this, and the the prices of the tablet starts from a mere $299.
Now, that Archos has confirmed that it will be updating its tablets to Ice Cream Sandwich, it makes them more attractive for potential tablet buyers.

It's no secret that I am a huge proponent of anything Spanish. The culture of Spain and its people is beautiful in every single facet and interior design is no exception. While the Spanish revel in all styles, I have found that their interiors are most often either A. very eclectic feeling as if they have been collected and carefully curated over time or B. they are sleek and modern.
Enter the aptly named Nuevo Estilo Magazine, which translates to "new style". If Domino and Elle Décor had ever had a love child, it would have been this publication. It features incredibly chic interiors which often include an eclectic spin. You'll find gilded antiques and Bertoia chairs in the same room and they do more than make it work, they make it look fabulous! They excel at blending together so many differing styles, yet they never fight against each other. Instead, they seem to balance each other out.
The Spanish have succeeded in their approach of taking the best from multiple influences (just as their ancestors did with Roman, Moorish, Jewish, and Christian influences) and making them work together in creating a unique design identity.These Spanish interiors are among my favorite from Nuevo Estilo as they are a reflection of the way stylish Spaniards live and they exude the same vivacity and warmth as the people.
I love the use of symmetry in this glamorous room.
