What is the difference between a workshop, an institute, a summit, and a hybrid? See event chart.
Do I need to have a team to attend a 2-day workshop? No—but we recommend it! Research suggests attending with a team allows you to apply your learning more seamlessly; however, if your team can't make it, you can always bring the event keynote back to your school or district.
How do I register a team? Please register members at the same time. To add an individual to the group, call Customer Service at 800.733.6786.
Will a workshop be worthwhile for me to attend as an individual, or should I wait until I can register a team? While most workshops include built-in team time, many individuals attend with a train-the-trainer approach and plan their presentation during team time.
How do I register more than one individual at a time? Change the number in the quantity field, and additional registration forms will populate. If you are planning to register 11 or more individuals, please use our multiple registration form. Email multiple registration forms to email@example.com.

How do I substitute another attendee for a registration I have already confirmed? Send your substitution request to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include the name of the individual currently registered, the event, and your substitute's name and email address.
How do I cancel my registration? Email email@example.com. Cancellations more than 90 days prior to the event require a $75 processing fee per person ($100 per person for events in Canada). Cancellations between 10 and 90 days prior to the event require half the registration fee per person. Cancellations less than 10 days prior to the event will receive no refund.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Parents of sick children, especially those fighting a large battle like cancer, can feel a heavy burden when caring for their kids.
No one knows that hurt better than parents like Kathy Leduc, who uses the Ronald McDonald House in Spokane.
Leduc and her six-year-old daughter Gabby are staying at the Ronald McDonald House while Gabby goes through intense chemotherapy treatments.
"We needed to get the fever taken care of because she had a dance recital that weekend. I took her in, thinking it was strep. They sent us in for blood work, and by 1:30, we were told she had leukemia," she said. "I won't allow myself to sit and think about it because once you start crying, you might not stop."
Despite her overwhelming feelings, there is one place Leduc allows herself to sit: Nick Chun's massage chair.
Chun volunteers his services every Thursday to give parents like Leduc a break.
"They say thank you, obviously because it feels good, but they also say, 'I think I can sleep tonight. The stress is off me now,'" Chun says.
Just minutes in the chair gives parents more hope and the strength to keep fighting the battle of a lifetime.
"That's the one time I can take 15 minutes for myself. I don't have to feel guilty about having 15 minutes," Lenuc says.
Chun insists he gets the most out of the experience. Seeing the pain, the stress and the heartbreak melt away, if even for a moment, makes him feel better too.
"If I'm feeling good, then that means I'm more relaxed and I can project that on her. Then she's more relaxed. It's a better treatment for her."
Gabby is in the most intense part of her chemotherapy. Leduc and her husband say Gabby's spirit is bright. The family hopes to return home to Kalispell after Christmas.

Here's your chance to share a photo of your favorite tractor.
The V8-powered IHC tractors are not the most powerful nor the most efficient models for their times, but the double stacks and the throaty V8 rumble make the 1468s and 1568s extremely popular with collectors. This 1974 1568 came back to life after a phone call and a long hunt. The call came from a neighbor, who told the owner he found the tractor buried in a shed. The owner went to look at it and discovered the machine had no fenders, a tattered cab, and the world's worst paint job. They bought the tractor on the spot. The tractor was completely restored, and took many years to complete as the family spent a lot of time hunting for the correct parts. The hunt was worthwhile—the end result is a show piece.

[Nosh On] Urban Picnics: Dine in the great outdoors — kinda — on these "hidden" new patios
The mercury in our thermometer is finally on the rise, which means that patio dining around town is similarly peaking. We sought out two new, out-of-the way patios to get in on the action.
Benefitting from the advantage of height, the Sinclair's second floor deck is hidden from Harvard Square street traffic. Though still a recent addition to the 'hood's culinary scene, their menu has already become a drunken night's best ally — namely their disco fries, soaked in American cheese sauce and scattered with jalapenos.
The club's offerings extend beyond late-night snacks, however. They've got a full menu with sophisticated seafood dishes like crisply battered oysters garnished with pickled celery, which adds an intriguing flavor twist to the shellfish standby. Take advantage of the new patio — which boasts hardwood pine tabletops, twinkling lights and a playlist spun by knowledgable staffers — to nosh on such summery dishes.
Meanwhile, in another square, al fresco diners will delight in communally-inspired nibbling at Kendall Square's Belly. The lovely little wine bar opened just last fall and is embarking on its first patio season. The Blue Room's little sister shares its brick-shrouded, basement level patio, but its space feels wholly separate and more casual.
Their Charcuterie, made in-house, and cheese platters are perfect sharable snacks. New to the menu is a fried chicken dinner, also for sharing. Fixings include biscuits with locally-made honey and a bitter slaw of radicchio, cucumber, fennel, and thyme. All the fixings of an urban picnic beneath stars.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) – The mention of possible bills moving forward in Raleigh to regulate abortion has the Cape Fear region's lone Democrat in the state legislature speaking out.
State Representative Susi Hamilton said Monday that any legislation concerning a woman's ability to make her own medical decisions is upsetting, but she's not surprised.
"Disappointed is a better word," she said. "We're not focusing on the things that we promised to focus on."
The News and Observer recently reported that State Rep. Paul "Skip" Stam hinted at a few proposals that would exclude abortion from health insurance coverage and outlaw abortions based on gender preference.
Tuesday marks the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, and Hamilton said she will rally supporters against any abortion bill that moves through the General Assembly.
"I can't believe we're still caught up with social agendas when there are so many important issues right now," Hamilton said.
Those issues, according to Hamilton, include tax modernization, education and economic development. Hamilton and the rest of her elected colleagues will begin a new session at the end of the month.
Calls to local Republican legislators have not been returned by the time of this report.

Cosmo calculators with tabular output
by marcus
Tags: calculators, cosmo, output, tabular
|Share this thread:
Feb18-13, 10:58 AM
It is very interesting that the new Ynow input automatically adjust Ho, Ωλ and Ωm. This is an advantage over the usual Ho and Ω input calculators, which usually can take a combination that is invalid (without user knowing it). I must look at a way to adjust S_eq and S_CMB defaults automatically as well and it will be even more convenient for all sorts of cosmo calculations. One can obviously override any of them manually if you want...

Basically however, I trust your pedagogical machine design sense. So far all your added features seem like definite improvements and not "too much". It's become a really fine learning machine---someone could write a brief user manual which would suggest things to do with it---cosmological exercise book, things to try on it.
I wish I knew someone who was teaching Introduction to Cosmology at some college or university. I'd like to see TabCosmo tried out for use in a class. I know OF people but I'm not in close enough personal touch with the right ones to be effective.
Does anybody here know of someone teaching Astronomy for Non-Majors or something comparable?

For completeness of reference,[1] here is the full compact set of TabCosmo6 equations (added particle horizon from previous).
Given present Hubble time [itex]Y_{now}[/itex], long term Hubble time [itex]Y_{inf}[/itex] and the redshift for radiation/matter equality [itex]z_{eq}[/itex]
Since the factor [itex]z + 1[/itex] occurs so often, an extra parameter [itex]S = z + 1 = 1/a[/itex] is defined, making the equations neater.
[tex]\Omega_\Lambda = \left(\frac{Y_{now}}{Y_{inf}}\right)^2, \ \ \,
\Omega_r = \frac{1-\Omega_\Lambda}{1+S_{eq}}, \ \ \,
\Omega_m = S_{eq}\Omega_r [/tex]
Hubble parameter, also referred to as H(t)
[tex]H = H_0 \sqrt{\Omega_\Lambda + \Omega_m S^3 (1+S/S_{eq})}[/tex]
Hubble time, Cosmic time
[tex]Y = 1/H, \ \ \,
T = \int_{S}^{\infty}{\frac{dS}{S H}}[/tex]
Proper distance 'now', 'then', cosmic event horizon and particle horizon
[tex]D_{now} = \int_{1}^{S}{\frac{dS}{H}}, \ \ \,
D_{then} = \frac{D_{now}}{S}, \ \ \,
D_{CEH} = \frac{1}{S} \int_{0}^{S}{\frac{dS}{H}}, \ \ \,
D_{par} = \frac{1}{S}\int_{S}^{\infty}{ \frac{dS}{H}}
To obtain all the values, it essentially means integration for S from zero to infinity, but practically it has been limited to [itex]10^{-7}< S <10^{7}[/itex] with quasi-logarithmic step sizes, e.g. a small % increase between integration steps.
[1] Davis: http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0402278 (2004), Appendix A. All equations converted to Stretch factor S (in place of t and a in Davis).
Feb25-13, 10:20 AM
Marcus has previously posted many tabular outputs from the TabCosmo calculator, but he had to massage the output considerably in order to make it readable in the [code] tags of the editor. The [tex] array option is available, but that requires a lot more manual work - something that the machine could actually do better. I have added an option for a LaTex compatible output and uploaded it as TabCosmo7.
It requires you to first play around until you have the range of values that you are interested in, tick the radio button for LaTex, Calculate and then copy and paste the code into a LaTex compatible editor. It is optimized for the PF editor, but you can modify any part of the Tex code after copying (obviously at your own risk :-)

I'm continuing to try this version out. Especially the LaTex feature. This is where I checked the "S=1 exactly" box, so the present moment in included in the history. And set it for 29 steps (from 1090 to 1 and then from 1 to 0.05, around year 62 billion in the future.)
I think many of us, perhaps most of the regular posters here, are familiar with the idea that the present expansion rate of distance is 1/140 % per million years.
Can you find when it was in the universe history that the expansion rate was ONE PERCENT per million years? I mean roughly, around what years?
Can you find the FARTHEST DISTANCE a galaxy could have been when it emitted light which is arriving to us today?
At what speed was that galaxy receding when it emitted the light (which we are now receiving)?
Easy questions which may help you get quantitatively engaged with the expansion history (if it is new to you.)

It's just a layman style of talking and there's no one right or perfect way to express the distance growth rate, I think. As you point out, there are several equally good ways to put it.
I guess I've gotten into a rut of saying "1/140 of a percent per million years". I hope this works, but could try different ways if you want.
To me, the word "per" suggests an instantaneous rate, as when one says the guy is going "miles per hour" even though the guy is only going to drive for 15 minutes. This is important because the instantaneous rate idea is what we need to get across. Plus the idea that it is very slowly changing. Towards 1/165 of a percent.
I really like the fact that in the table you see "dark energy" manifestly there as something real. Namely you see the cosmological constant surface as the limiting expansion rate of 1/165 percent per million years.
You and I have noted that numerous times. But it may still be new to some readers: it jumps out in the table just printed, so clearly. As the eventual 16.5 Gly cosmological horizon and 16.5 Gy Hubbletime. It stares one in the face in two columns, down at the bottom of table, way in future.
One can think of it as a residual built-in expansion rate that cannot go away or as a small residual space-time curvature. We can remind ourselves how that expansion rate or spacetime curvature can converted to a (possibly fictional) "energy" density---basically just converting the curvature into different units using the natural constants G and c.
Put this in the google window: 3c^2/(8 pi G)/(16.5 billion years)^2
when you press the "equals" key you should get 0.593 nanopascals
or in other words 0.593 nanojoules per cubic meter (the energy density that conventionally corresponds to cosmo constant Lambda as currently estimated.)
The constants 3c^2/(8 pi G) are simply what accomplishes the change into units of energy density.
I think it's great that in a table with future like this you get to see the constant Lambda (or its energy density alias 0.6 nanojoules per cubic meter) emerge clearly as something tangible like the distance to a horizon.
The answer to one of the questions a couple of posts back: around year 60 million was when distances were expanding at just 1% per million years.
That was when distances were about 1/40 what they are today. So the stretch factor is in the interval 37 to 47 that one sees in the table.
Can anyone suggest some other questions one could ask as part of practice reading a history table like this? It might be good to have a supply of warm-up exercises.

Here's another practice question referring to the table a few posts back. Imagine four galaxies that are roughly the same shape and size which are visible today. They are at different distances from us and the light we are receiving today from them was emitted at different times: in year 2 billion, in year 4 billion, in year 6 billion, and in year 8 billion, say.
Call the galaxies A, B, C, and D respectively, if you like. Which one looks the smallest?
In other words which one has the smallest angular width, and makes the smallest angle in the sky?
Maybe instead of 2, 4, 6, 8, I should have said 2.0, 4.0, 5.7, and 7.9 since those times are closer to the times appearing in the table. But mentally interpolating is easy enough. Obviously the one with the smallest angular width is the one which was the farthest away when it emitted the light, and that's not hard to spot.
Another practice question: in what year of the universe history were distances expanding ELEVEN percent per million years? And by what factor have distances and wavelengths expanded since then, up to present day?

For completeness of reference, here is the updated compact set of TabCosmo9 equations.[1] (changed from Hubble time inputs to Hubble radii and added da/dT). Basic inputs are the Hubble radius [itex]R_{now}[/itex], the long term Hubble radius [itex] R_{\infty}[/itex] and the redshift for radiation/matter equality [itex]z_{eq}[/itex].
Since the factor [itex]z + 1[/itex] occurs so often, an extra parameter [itex]S = z + 1 = 1/a[/itex] is defined, making the equations neater.
[tex]\Omega_\Lambda = \left(\frac{R_{now}}{R_{\infty}}\right)^2, \ \ \,
\Omega_r = \frac{1-\Omega_\Lambda}{1+S_{eq}}, \ \ \,
\Omega_m = S_{eq}\Omega_r [/tex]
Hubble parameter, also referred to as H(t)
[tex]H = H_0 \sqrt{\Omega_\Lambda + \Omega_m S^3 (1+S/S_{eq})}[/tex]
Hubble radius and Cosmic time (in geometric units, where c=1)
[tex]R = 1/H, \ \ \,
T = \int_{S}^{\infty}{\frac{dS}{S H}}[/tex]
Proper distance 'now', 'then', cosmic event horizon and particle horizon
[tex]D_{now} = \int_{1}^{S}{\frac{dS}{H}}, \ \ \,
D_{then} = \frac{D_{now}}{S}, \ \ \,
D_{hor} = \frac{1}{S} \int_{0}^{S}{\frac{dS}{H}}, \ \ \,
D_{par} = \frac{1}{S}\int_{S}^{\infty}{ \frac{dS}{H}}
The expansion rate as a fractional distance per unit time (at time T)
[tex]\frac{da}{dT} = aH = \frac{a}{R} [/tex]
To obtain all the values, it essentially means integration for S from zero to infinity, but practically it has been limited to [itex]10^{-7}< S <10^{7}[/itex] with quasi-logarithmic step sizes, e.g. a small % increase between integration steps.

If I interpret this correctly, it means that the object has been outside our Hubble sphere up to around T=3 Gy, then entered the sphere and is leaving it now, to stay outside for as long as accelerated expansion keeps going.

Here is a zoomed portion of the Davis center-panel:
The object presently on the surface of our Hubble sphere will be at redshift z~2.33. It was also on the Hubble sphere at t~2.86 Gyr (the dashed purple lines that I've added) when it first entered our Hubble sphere. Outside the Hubble sphere the recession rate exceed c.
Do you think this experimental column is useful? Or is it just cluttering up the calculator?

Beautiful graphic! I somehow missed this post yesterday. I am still unclear about the physical meaning of the righthand column quantity, and the example of the object we observe with S=3.336.
I'll keep thinking about it.
I see! You see the dashed line for T=2.86. On the right it does not extend far enough, it should go out to the light cone (where the object is).
But fortunately it does extend out on the left far enough, so it interesects light cone. It shows us that the current distance of the object is around 18.7 Gly just as your calculator says! The comoving distance to the object is around 18.7 Gly, which is pretty much where that T=2.86 line intersects lightcone.
And it also looks to me like the horizontal dashed line intersects lightcone around z=2.336 too, as it should. 2.336 would be say 2/3 of the way from 1 to 3, which it looks like it is. Also since the horizontal z scale is kind of "log-ish" and the "2" mark itself might not be exactly halfway between 1 and 3 but somewhat closer to the 3 mark, in case that matters.
So that all fits with what the top row of your latest table shows, for S=3.336
What is not so fortunate is that the Tamara Davis charts don't have an a(t) curve. The scale factor is used as a vertical scale up the righthand side, sort of as a alternative to time, to mark the stage in history. So we dont have an a(t) curve. Your new column is about the SLOPE of the a(t) curve.
I'm undecided about it, haven't figured out what I think. Somehow it should show a minimum around year 7 billion (you gave it exactly a while back, something like 7.6) Actually it seems to do that! I just looked at the S=1.7 row in the preceding table. That is year 7.4, close enough, and in fact it does look like da/dT is bottoming out right there. I'll get back to this after a while and try to give a coherent opinion
I had another look and I think there are pros and cons about the 9th column. Multiplying by Rnow seems somewhat arbitrary. Doesn't it just scale the numbers up? I thought the notation Rnow' is a bit confusing since it gives the impression it is the derivative of Rnow,and that Rnow is changing. But Rnow is a constant. A fixed parameter of the model. Isn't da/dT what the column is really about? So couldn't you achieve the same effect by making it
100xda/dT, or 1000xda/dT? Some arbitrary multiplicative factor, in other words?
Or perhaps I'm missing something.

I have changed the 9th column header to be more sensible dot{a}R_0. This corresponds with the values shown on the zoomed center panel below. The redshift of an object that is on the Hubble sphere now is actually z~1.45 or S~2.45. I got that from my old Cosmocalc_2013, with Tamara's values. The z=2.1 represents a more distant galaxy, permanently outside the Hubble sphere, but whose photons managed to reach the Hubble sphere, and hence also to reach us.
Does this make sense?
Edit: Thanks Marcus, I have corrected the z=1.45.

You should probably check that the number S=2.67 is right. You might have intended, say, S=2.47, and simply misremembered. That's easy to do, memory glitch at one digit and the rest right. We should both check.
I will check using your parameters 14.0, 16.7, 3280. Let me see what I get when I put those in and look for an S that will give me the present distance D = 14.0.
I get S=2.454 using your numbers.
[tex]{\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline R_{now} (Gly) & R_{∞} (Gly) & S_{eq} & H_{0} & \Omega_\Lambda & \Omega_m\\ \hline14&16.7&3280&69.86&0.703&0.297\\ \hline\end{array}}[/tex] [tex]{\begin{array}{|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|} \hline S=z+1&a=1/S&T (Gy)&R (Gly)&D (Gly)&D_{then}(Gly)&D_{hor}(Gly)&D_{par}(Gly)\\ \hline2.454&0.407498&4.338413&6.201108&13.998&5.704&12.202&12.864\\ \hline\end{array}}[/tex]
Using numbers that we were using earlier 14.0, 16.5, 3280 it's more like 2.43 (but about the same.)
[tex]{\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline R_{now} (Gly) & R_{∞} (Gly) & S_{eq} & H_{0} & \Omega_\Lambda & \Omega_m\\ \hline14&16.5&3280&69.86&0.72&0.28\\ \hline\end{array}}[/tex] [tex]{\begin{array}{|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|} \hline S=z+1&a=1/S&T (Gy)&R (Gly)&D (Gly)&D_{then}(Gly)&D_{hor}(Gly)&D_{par}(Gly)\\ \hline2.430&0.411523&4.522759&6.430132&14.028&5.773&12.278&13.434\\ \hline\end{array}}[/tex]

I think I know now what the vertical dashed line labeled z=1.67 is supposed to be. With your numbers 14.0, 16.7, 3280, we get S=2.61 for the intersection of lightcone with Hubble radius.
That is, a galaxy we are observing today which was receding at c in the past when it emitted the light.
THAT is a galaxy which was subsequently inside the Hubble sphere, and then later was again outside.
[tex]{\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline R_{now} (Gly) & R_{∞} (Gly) & S_{eq} & H_{0} & \Omega_\Lambda & \Omega_m\\ \hline14&16.7&3280&69.86&0.703&0.297\\ \hline\end{array}}[/tex] [tex]{\begin{array}{|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|} \hline S=z+1&a=1/S&T (Gy)&R (Gly)&D (Gly)&D_{then}(Gly)&D_{hor}(Gly)&D_{par}(Gly)\\ \hline2.6104&0.383083&3.970&5.7192&14.929&5.7192&11.828&11.737\\ \hline\end{array}}[/tex]
So the vertical line for that galaxy does slice off a bit of the side bulge of the Hubble radius curve, just the way it appears in the figure. First it is outside Hubble sphere, then the sphere expands more rapidly than the galaxy is receding, and takes it in (for a while). Then its recession begins to dominate and it exits.
But that galaxy is not NOW at the Hubble radius. Your calculator says that its current distance is 14.929 Gly, not 14.0 Gly.
So instead of being labeled "z=1.67" the vertical dashed line probably wants to be labeled "z=1.61"
or S=2.61, and to be moved slightly over to the right so that it passes exactly thru the intersection of lightcone with Hubble radius. It will still slice off some of the bulge, on its way up, though slightly less of it.
I see you relabeled that to say z=1.45. Now it makes sense, talking about a galaxy which is at comoving distance (now distance) Rnow = 14.0 Gly.
So multiplying that by the scale factor a(t) we get the past distance history of that galaxy
D(t) = Rnow a(t)
OK so that is a sample proper distance history. And you are going to take the slope of that.
And the slope should decline at first and then start increasing---the distance growth curve should have an inflection point where the slope is at a minimum. Which, as I recall, it does.
Yes! I checked on your table. S=1.636 is where the table minimum of the slope comes. Which is around year 7.6 billion. So that looks quite good. So I can see a real pedagogical benefit.
This is making a lot of sense now. I still don't have a definite opinion whether the 9th column pedagogical benefits outweigh the cost of having a more elaborate table. Probably it depends on who one expects to be the user.

A Perrsyburg woman has admitted she embezzled nearly $100,000 from youth organizations over the past two years.
Kiki Lorann pleaded guilty to four counts of grand theft and three counts of theft in Wood County Common Pleas Court Friday. Lorann was a volunteer with the Perrysburg Elementary Parents Association, Toth Parent Club, Perrysburg String Baseball, and several other sports teams. She handled the finances for the organizations.
Last May, other members took a closer look at their accounts and realized the numbers weren't adding up.
Lorann could be sentenced to up to eight years in prison when she faces a judge again on July 16, but some Perrysburg residents say paying the money back would be the right thing to do.
"I mean, that's really what would serve justice to me," said Laura Williams. "But that's probably not going to happen, unfortunately."

Reisenthel makes really great European-style shopping bags and totes. I've been eyeing these bags lately - they are designed to sit in a shopping cart. So your items go straight into the cart, onto the conveyor belt, then right back into the cart. Lift the bag right out and you're done. This would be a fabulous bag for those who like to shop at places like Aldi or Costco, where no bags are provided. The bags roll up nice and tight when they're not in use, too.

OMGSH THESE are a dream come true..now,i would tend to think that we might still need our regular cloth bags inside each basket, as they'd be pretty HEAVY for me to carry alone with the shopping amounts we do! STILL,a FANTASTIC FIND! J9;)
Agree with MyContainedLife that they could get a little heavy, but these would be great for places where you can scan your own groceries as well (which is what I do, while I struggle with my floppy canvas bags)
I use a collapsible plastic crate for this same purpose. If you think about the process however, unless you have extra bags to load into, everything comes out of these bags to scan, then gets set aside, then back into the bags after they are emptied, which slows everyone behind you down.
I wonder if the bags are washable a report on the local news test show many bags hold bacteria as people just use them over and over and not really think about it
Thank you for this post. The county next door requires consumers to pay for shopping bags and someone stole my friend's totes at the grocery store a few days ago.
@trixiegoodbits. Wherever you shop, items must be removed from a cart or basket, set aside, and then placed into shopping bags. This isn't any more time consuming. If shoppers using reusable bags help bag, as many do, the line will move faster because the cashier isn't bagging.

Drew Peterson has a lot of time on his hands in jail, and he's used it to write a letter to Chicago Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed.
Peterson is awaiting trial for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
In a 10 page letter to Sneed, Peterson wrote that he spends most of his time in isolation and undergoes frequent strip searches.
Peterson wrote his only human contact comes when he is visited by prison guards or another inmate bringing him food and clean clothes.
He said his only source of entertainment is T.V. because he doesn't like to read.
Peterson said the staff at the Will County Jail has treated him well.
He described how he misses his children and how painful it is for him to miss birthdays and other events, but he doesn't let his kids visit him in jail. He feels it will leave them with bad childhood memories.
He said he talks to them by phone a couple of times a week.
Peterson also took a shot at Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow, saying he has too much power and too much ego.

RedKaraoke Sings in English
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Music
Europe's fave site for wannabe singers, RedKaraoke, has been launched in an English version. They claim they are the largest site of their kind with over 14,000 songs and over 400,000 users. You can record both audio and video, compete with rankings, and a Tone Control Tool will make you sound even better. The site utilizes MIDI and KAR files, which can convert almost any song into a karaoke track. Created last year by brothers Miguel Angel and Richard Diez Ferreira, the site is free since it generates its funding through advertising and sponsorships.

I Haven't heard abiut this site before but since now I guess its available in English I might. I guess I might get entertained by some good singers. Also, I've always wondered if any famous singers have ever been discovered through karaoke?
I just took a look at it—awesome job! The website reminds me of YouTube except it focuses on videos of people singing rather than all sorts of videos.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Hundreds of people lined up yesterday, to remember former Metro councilwoman Judy Green. It was standing room only at St. Stephen Church.
Judy Green passed away last week at the age of 57 after a massive heart attack.
Yesterday's ceremony was emotional for many people, but also included uplifting music.
Green resigned from Metro Council after she was accused of an ethics violation. A council court later voted to formally remove her from office. That's not how her attorney, and family friend Derwin Webb, hopes she will be remembered.
"I think the attendance said it all. To see so many people come out just to see her and show the love and respect they had for her said it all for me," said family friend Derwin Webb.
Hundreds of other people remembered Judy Green not only as a public figure but as a wife, mother, sister and friend.

SPOKANE, Wash. – The Chiefs ended their scoreless power play streak at the 6:54 mark in the first period when Mike Aviani and Jason Fram found Adam Helewka for the game's first goal. But the Seattle Thunderbirds outscored the Chiefs 7-2 for the rest of the game, ultimately ending in a 7-3 loss for Spokane, on Friday night at the Spokane Arena.
Spokane was whistled for eight penalties, giving Seattle 26 minutes with the man advantage. The Thunderbirds took advantage of those opportunities, scoring on three of the eight chances. Spokane only had one more power play chance after Helewka's first goal, but couldn't capitalize.
Branden Troock tallied a hat trick for Seattle and added two assist for a five point night. Troock has now scored 4 goals and 3 assists in just two games versus the Chiefs this season.
In the third period, during a Seattle power play, Helewka scored his second goal of the game as he skated through the Thunderbird defense for an unassisted shorthanded effort. Helewka also returned the favor from his earlier goal and found Aviani crashing the net for an easy score at the 17:09 mark.
Eric Williams was replaced in the third period after allowing four goals on 16 shots. His replacement, Garret Hughson, allowed three goals on nine shots. The Chiefs managed just 15 shots on goal, with T-Birds netminder Justin Myles turning away 12.

Newborn screening tests
Newborn screening tests look for serious developmental, genetic, and metabolic disorders so that important action can be taken during the critical time before symptoms develop. Most of these illnesses are very rare.
In the United States, individual states regulate newborn screening, so the diseases screened for vary considerably from state to state. Most states require three to eight tests, but organizations such as the March of Dimes and the American College of Medical Genetics suggest more than two dozen additional tests.
The most thorough screening panel checks for about 40 disorders. All 50 states screen for congenital hypothyroidism, galactosemia, and phenylketonuria (PKU).
Alternative Names
Infant screening tests; Neonatal screening tests
How the test is performed
Blood tests: A health care professional will prick the baby's heel to obtain a few drops of blood. The blood is sent to a lab for analysis.
Hearing test: An audiologist will place a tiny earpiece or microphone in the infant's ear or stick electrodes on the baby's head.
How to prepare for the test
There is no preparation necessary for newborn screening tests. The tests are performed when the baby is between 24 hours and 7 days old, typically before the baby goes home from the hospital.
How the test will feel
The baby will most likely cry when his or her heel is pricked to obtain the small blood sample. The hearing test should not cause the baby to feel pain, cry, or respond.
Why the test is performed
Screening tests do not diagnose illnesses. They identify which babies need additional testing to confirm or rule out illnesses. Good screening tests have a low false-negative rate (if the test is normal, the child should be healthy), but may have a high false-positive rate (as many affected children as possible should test positive, even if this means many healthy children also test positive).
If follow-up testing confirms that the child has a disease, appropriate treatment can be started right away, before symptoms appear.
Screening tests are used to detect a number of disorders, including:
- Amino acid metabolism disorders:
- Arginosuccinic acidemia
- Citrullinemia
- Homocystinuria
- Maple syrup urine disease
- Phenylketonuria (PKU)
- Tyrosinemia type I
- Biotinidase deficiency
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
- Congenital hypothyroidism
- Cystic fibrosis (see also: Neonatal cystic fibrosis screening)
- Fatty acid metabolism disorders:
- Carnitine uptake deficiency
- Long-chain L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
- Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency
- Trifunctional protein deficiency
- Very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCAD)
- Galactosemia
- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD)
- Human immunodeficiency disease (HIV)
- Organic acid metabolism disorders:
- 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaric aciduria (HMG)
- 3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency (3MCC)
- Beta ketothiolase deficiency
- Glutaric acidemia type I
- Isovaleric acidemia
- Methylmalonic acidemia
- Multiple carboxylase deficiency (MCD)
- Propionic acidemia
- Sickle cell disease and other hemoglobinopathy disorders and traits
- Toxoplasmosis
See also: Hearing loss - infants
Normal Values
Normal values for each screening test may vary depending on how the test is performed.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What abnormal results mean
An abnormal result means that the child should have additional testing to confirm or rule out the condition.
What the risks are
Risks for the newborn heel prick blood sample include pain and possible bruising at the site where the blood was obtained.
Special considerations
Newborn testing is critical for the baby to receive treatment that may be life saving. However, not all disorders that can be detected by the screening tests can be treated.
Although states do not perform all screening tests, parents can have additional tests done by qualified laboratories at large medical centers. Private laboratories also offer newborn screening. Parents can find out about extra newborn screening tests from their physician or hospital where the baby will be born, as well as through organizations like the March of Dimes.

Great Value
By ougrandma
from Oklahoma
When I purchased this, I didn't read the description closely, because I was surprised to find there were FOUR in the package instead of one. What a great value. I like the fact it comes with the ability to hang it on the door knob, no searching for it when its out of use and needed again.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend
a smart way to hold door in place.

Handy Door Stoppers!
By Senior Shopper
from San Diego, Ca.
These are wonderful! Better than the small brown ones I was using. And they fit on the back of your doorknob when not in use. Take one with you when you travel for your hotel room door, so it does not close automatically and lock you out! I was so excited about finding this product that I did not read the entire ad which stated 4 to a pkg. What a deal! So I bought 3 packs and ended up with 12 door stoppers! But that is ok since Christmas is coming and these will make great gifts.

Narcolepsy is a potentially serious and persistent sleep disorder that causes people to fall asleep at inappropriate times for as briefly as a few seconds up to 30 minutes. In other words, their daytime sleepiness is so excessive that it causes them to suffer sleep "attacks" in the course of their normal daily activities even after a full night's sleep. Narcoleptics may suddenly fall asleep while they are talking, walking, eating, driving or working. Poor quality of sleep is frequently seen in narcoleptics and may require treatment to consolidate sleep at night, resulting in an improvement in daytime alertness.
Other Symptoms.
- Cataplexy (sudden, brief losses of muscle control)
- Sleep paralysis (the inability to move when waking up or falling asleep)
- Hypnagogic hallucinations (vivid dreams during sleep onset)

PCTEL Inc. Stock Upgraded (PCTI)
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Get full access to Jim Cramer's thoughts for less than $3/week - sometimes before he says them on TV! Start with a 14-Day Free Trial.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Communications Equipment industry. The net income increased by 688.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $0.03 million to $0.20 million.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 14.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 4.6%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- PCTI has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 7.59, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- This stock has managed to rise its share value by 8.52% over the past twelve months. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- PCTEL INC's earnings have gone downhill when comparing its most recently reported quarter with the same quarter a year earlier. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, PCTEL INC turned its bottom line around by earning $0.01 versus -$0.20 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.33 versus $0.01).

The rumor has been confirmed: Joan Jett will stand in for the late Kurt Cobain when Nirvana 's surviving members perform tonight at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Brooklyn, New York.
Multiple sources report that the onstage collaboration will indeed happen, including AlternativeNation.net , which has posted a video in which you can hear Jett rehearsing "Smells Like Teen Spirit," apparently with the Nirvana guys. Word that the punk pioneer might be hitting the stage with the grunge rockers began to circulate on Wednesday, when a photo appeared on the Foo Fighters ' Instagram page showing Krist Novoselic 's bass, Pat Smear 's guitar, Dave Grohl 's drum set and Jett's battered white Gibson Melody Maker guitar.
Jett is a longtime friend of the Foos and has played with the band a number of times, including on The Late Show with David Letterman . In addition, Grohl recently collaborated with Jett on "Any Weather," the lead single from her latest studio album, Unvarnished .
Nirvana will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tonight along with KISS , Peter Gabriel , Hall and Oates , Cat Stevens and Linda Ronstadt . R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe will induct the band.
