A mathematical discovery
Published: 04/29/2014
Mathematicans have found a framework for the celebrated Rogers-Ramanujan identities and their arithmetic properties, solving another long-standing mystery stemming from the work of Indian math genius Srinivasa Ramanujan. The findings, by mathematicians at Emory University and the University of Queensland, yield a treasure trove of algebraic numbers and formulas to access them. Algebraic numbers are among the first numbers you encounter in mathematics, says Ken Ono, a number theorist at Emory And yet, its surprisingly difficult to find functions that return them as values in a uniform and systematic way. Ono is the co-author of the new findings, along with S. Ole Warnaar of the University of Queensland and Michael Griffin, an Emory graduate student.
Ken Ono profiled in Scientific American
Published: 04/15/2014
Ken Ono, the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Mathematics, is profiled in a feature story in the May 2014 issue of Scientific American. Ono and his collaborators have solved a large number of open problems in number theory related to the enigmatic writings of Srinivasa Ramanujan.

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 22 (HealthDay News) -- Wearing high heels while
dancing may add an air of gracefulness to a woman's moves, but
heels also place a great deal of extra pressure on a dancer's toes,
scientists say.
British and Chinese researchers measured the forces exerted on
the soles of the feet of six professional dancers. They found that
when the study participants danced in their bare feet, the force
was spread evenly between heel and toe. Dancing in high heels,
however, resulted in more force being transferred to the front of
the foot.
The study findings are published in the latest issue of the
International Journal of Experimental and Computational
Dancing in 10-centimeter high heels (about 4 inches) can lead to
pressures three times that of the atmosphere being applied to the
toes, according to Yaodong Gu, of the Liverpool John Moores
University in the United Kingdom, and colleagues.
This increased pressure on the front of the foot can lead to
discomfort and a painful condition called plantar fasciitis over an
extended period of time, the researchers said. The findings may
help improve the design of dance shoes with high heels, the study
authors suggested.
"Most published studies have been focused on the effects of high-heeled shoes on normal walking, while research on more intensive locomotion such as dancing is very limited," the researchers pointed out in a news release from the journal's publisher.

My Local Food Fantasy Revisited, Part III: Increasing the Demand for Local Food
Posted by James Eisenstein on 07/08 at 09:48 AM
This year I've revisited my 2011 local food fantasy by describing recent developments that are moving us to a vibrant local food system and sketching the outlines of what it could be like given the variety (but limited quantities) of locally produced food already available. To become a reality, the demand for local food here must grow, but some formidable obstacles loom. Part III identifies the major obstacles and sketches ways to overcome.
At the top of my list is the widespread persistent belief that local food costs too much. Yes, Americans spend less on food than nearly everyone else. Mr. Google told me that the World Bank reported 6% of incomes in the U.S. went to food, with the UK next at 9%—half again as much as here. But knowing this won't change anything.
Did you just think to yourself, "Well, gee whiz, I guess I'll just have to pay more from now on?"
Nearly everything you see pictured at the Jade Family Farm stand on May 14th at the Boalsburg Farmers Market was harvested the day before the market. Virtually all of the produce at "producers only" local farmers markets is equally fresh.
Perhaps people will respond if they can be weaned from what I term "the false economy of cheap food." We eat to live, and the more nutritious food is, the better off we are. Folks need to realize that fresh food is more nutritious. Most produce at our farmers' markets was picked the day before. Supermarket produce is typically picked many days before and shipped from somewhere south of Sacramento. And it isn't so cheap when you include the cost of what you have to throw away when it goes bad before you use it. Buy cheap, buy twice, as they say. And don't forget the more robust local economy that results when local farmers rather than supermarket chains receive and re-circulate the money we spend on food.
Another obstacle is that consumers do not sufficiently value the safety of their food. Local food carries less risk, especially if it is organically produced and untainted by GMOs or residues of pesticides and herbicides. Our producers don't want to sicken the customers they meet face to face every week, and they well understand their livelihoods rest on their reputations. The corporate owners and managers of the mega-spinach farms in Mexico or California's Central Valley face very different (read profit maximizing) pressures.
As someone who spent a career in education, I instinctively cringe when someone proposes "more education" as a solution to problems. Mostly it doesn't work. But sometimes it does. School children can learn first hand about the value of fresh food by growing it in a school garden, eating it at lunch, and visiting farms and farmers' markets. Penn State students will taste the difference when they buy a dorm meal using local food. Restaurant customers here increasingly see menus featuring locally-sourced food.
Part V of my food fantasy will argue that as the Friends and Farmers Food Co-op moves toward opening, it will raise awareness of the advantages of local food and accelerate the increase in the demand for it. But growing demand can't be satisfied until the obstacles to increasing the supply of local food are identified and overcome. Stay tuned for Part IV, which will address the topic of supply.
Spinach from this huge field in California in 2007 was shipped all over the country. It was contaminated with e-coli bacteria and sickened 205 consumers in 26 states. Five died.
This spinach bed, ready to harvest, stands in stark contrast to the mega field shown above. You have to look hard to find the spinach among the lettuce that shares this bed and the weeds. Because it is ready for harvest, the weeds can be tolerated for a few more days. Why might there be no weeds in the mega-field? I'll bet it wasn't hand weeded!

Equipment Manufacturers Urge President And Congress To Take Action On Infrastructure and Trade
President Obama Delivers State of the Union Address, Highlights Infrastructure Investment and Trade
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) President Dennis Slater issued the following statement:
"Last night's State of the Union address from President Obama repeated many of the themes we've heard over the past several years. The President highlighted the growing manufacturing sector and stressed the need for more manufacturing jobs.
"But where he touched on the importance of infrastructure and trade in order to help the manufacturing industry grow, President Obama did not go far enough to offer the necessary solutions to the challenges we face.
"I appreciate the President's frustration with Congress and their inability to get important work done. But now more than ever, American manufacturers and workers are depending on them in order to continue to operate and grow in the United States. And some of the equipment manufacturers' most important priorities this year depend on a bipartisan effort.
"The federal highway bill is set to expire this year. Congress and the Obama Administration must work together to pass a long-term bill to provide much needed infrastructure investment in order for our country to stay competitive on the global scale. Streamlining the permitting process is helpful, but will ultimately mean nothing without the increased investment our infrastructure system so desperately needs.
"We appreciate President Obama acknowledging the need for an updated Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) in order to establish negotiating objectives and preserve Congress' authority to approve trade agreements. Concluding the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) are also crucial steps towards strengthening U.S. manufacturers' ability to compete in world markets. We hope to see those completed without delay.
"There are several other areas – like developing a strong domestic energy program – that Congress and the President must work together to keep our economy growing, but these are simple steps they can take now, to put us on the right path. I look forward to the next State of the Union where we can highlight results of hard work and bipartisanship this year."

Now I could go down the route of reorganising my AD structure but it's going to complicate it and it's a bit needless if I can do, as I could in 2003 server deny the policy application to a PC/Group.
Can I do it under the deligation tab? The scope tab just lists who the policy is appied to...
any suggestions.

I've heard of waxing, plucking, and threading as options for facial hair removal, but shaving? No way! It will come back darker and thicker, everyone knows that. But guess what, says esthetician to the stars, Kate Somerville, everyone is wrong -- dun Dun DUN!
That's right, shaving your face is totally cool to do now. I must admit that I thought Caroline Manzo from the Real Housewives of New Jersey was a little nutty for admitting she shaves her face, because, hey, anyone crazy enough to go on reality TV should not be allowed to dole out advice on anything. But I guess she was on to something.
And Caroline isn't the only one up on the trend. Apparently super-famous female stars have shaved their beards, too!
In an interview with Style.com, Somerville -- who got the scoop from her former-boss, Elizabeth Taylor's personal dermatologist -- says Taylor and Marilyn Monroe both shaved their million-dollar faces to get rid of the hair and to exfoliate.
Really? Could it be that maybe they just didn't have any better options? I'm no 1960s expert, but I'm just going to assume that there wasn't a threading or a waxing place on every street corner like there is now. I don't know how many times a sweet man under 5'3" has tried to hand me a flier about a new salon that offers hair removal.
So what are we to assume here? That razor sales are down and Gillette has sponsored a plug? Or that we should all go out and buy a triple-blade gel-grip razor to shave our freaking faces. Listen, I need another body part to shave like I need another email from my sister reminding me I owe her money. At some point we've got to stop the bleeding.
Are you going to shave your pretty face?

This is my beauty secret! Lol! I am 23, almost 24, and have been doing this since I was about 14. I hated the way my foundation looked with that peach fuzz on my face, so one day I just shaved it off. I love the way my face looks and feels. As far as the hair growing in thicker, I have no idea because I've never gone long enough to find out.
Well I don't think of it in terms of slapping on some shave cream and using the male razors..I have a wet/dry female panasonic electric razor used for the legs and has a little pop up razor for doing fine hair such as hands/fingers upper lip. I use it dry and in literally 10 seconds all the peach fuzz is gone..
been doin it for almost 20 years now. have a disease that causes facial hair in women.
if you have PCOS you probably have facial hair, most treatments can't be used if you are trying to conceive. so yeah you might shave.
Not gonna happen for me
Yup, PCOS will do it!
WOW. THAT SUCKS to have to shave your face.
I think at some point, almost every woman with PCOS has shaven their facial hair. I know I have! Spend 10 seconds shaving or 1/2 an hour plucking. Which would you pick?
I'm glad this is a topic, since I have been struggling with PCOS my entire life AND facial hair. I've been plucking for so long that I have scars on my chin. :( I think I am going to give that up and begin to shave.

AMG Review
Andrea LeVasseur
Billing itself as a major television event, Tony Kushner's award-winning play Angels in America is an ambitious project, to say the least. Fortunately, it's directed by theatrically trained veteran filmmaker Mike Nichols (who's enjoyed much success with stage-to-screen adaptations ever since his first film, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, in 1966). As a six-hour epic aired in two long segments, Angels marked a scheduling precedent on HBO. Such a huge project is destined to become overwhelming, and this is no exception. The high language, splashy special effects, and supernatural dream logic are surely too much for the casual cable TV viewer. However, those who appreciated the Broadway smash in 1993 will most likely be delighted by the careful construction and presentation of the source material in this version. Although it's quite a task to top the original Tony-winning Broadway actors, this cast is full of well-known names who are up to the challenge. Two of the biggest stars on the roster, Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson, seem to be having the most fun in their showy multiple roles. Thompson gets to shout flowery lines while in midair, and Streep is just a doll as the ghost of Ethel Rosenberg. As Roy Cohn, Al Pacino gets to play yet another despicable creature, while Mary-Louise Parker is as good as ever playing a long-suffering wife. Relative newcomers Justin Kirk, Patrick Wilson, and Ben Shenkman are all appropriately handsome leads involved in a love triangle, while Jeffrey Wright trumps them all by reprising his stage role of down-to-earth yet flamboyant nursemaid Belize. All of the performers are top-notch at delivering Kushner's poetic prose. Admittedly, it's difficult to view the subject matter in light of the political era in which it was written -- especially given that the state of the world has since worsened (considering the role that AIDS, conservative politics, and religious intolerance have played since the '80s). When seen as a period piece, however, Angels in America is a beautifully excessive drama that seems to have arrived at just the right time. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Maybe this week's Access Points photo game was a little too detailed. Interesting guesses — it is, indeed, a painting that involves a man's jacket — but nobody was able to correctly identify it as the Zell Miller portrait hanging at Manuel's Tavern.
Look more familiar now?
Or now?
Manuel's is a bar art museum right in Poncey-Highland. Beyond the glowing beer signs and TVs, every photo of a police officer, painting of a naked woman, playing-card-and-dollar-bill-tacked-on-the-ceiling has a story behind it. Different versions of those stories might emerge based on the person asked and the amount of time till last call. But the depth of institutional memory behind this portrait made for particularly good storytelling.
Zell Miller and Manuel Maloof, the onetime DeKalb County executive and tavern owner, were big friends. It wasn't particularly strange to have the former governor's

The opinions expressed herein are my own personal opinions and do not represent
my employer's view in anyway.
It is amazing to note the reach to the masses of a single MSDN Webcast. I had conducted a MSDN Webcast titled: "Acks and NAcks: Why We Need the Principles of TCP/IP Reliability in SOAP" in mid-2006 and till this day, I am still receiving questions and feedback about that topic I presented in the webcast. (Incidentally, you can view the on-demand webcast here.)
For those of you who do not want to go through this webcast again, I am going to break that presentation into the WHYs, WHATs and HOWs on this blog. This will make for easy-reading and straight-to-the-point as well.
This is rather straightforward. Why is it important? Why does it matter whether messages can be sent and received reliably? Web services is based on XML messages being sent and received. The most useful Web services will often be those that are the most complex and that rely on many messages being sent and received in a very specific order. That's the way that complex transactions can be built, after all.
Let us look at this problem in context before figuring out where the pain-points are. Most complex transactions in enterprises require far more messages to be sent and received. The messages will be much more intricate and may have very complex dependencies on one another, so that certain processes can't be kicked off until certain previous messages have been sent and acknowledged. Entire complex transactions can fail because a simple message didn't get through. And while it may sound simple to guarantee reliability, it's much more difficult than you might expect.
To add to the complexity, the main characteristics of Web services is communication over unreliable communication channels such as the Internet employing unreliable data transfer protocols such as HTTP, SMTP and FTP. These are considered unreliable, as they do not offer the reliable messaging services such as guaranteed delivery. Accordingly reliable messaging becomes one of the first problems that need to be addressed for Web services to become truly enterprise-capable technologies.
...there is nothing in SOAP or even HTTP that guarantees anyone that a message is delivered, or that allows a someone to tell the sender he/she has received the message...
Making reliable messaging more difficult is that messages are sent not just over the notoriously unreliable Internet, but also between partners that use entirely different networking infrastructures.
What many companies did in the past was to rely on proprietary messaging infrastructures to connect applications with one another. In these days of "open-standards", the industry would much prefer what Web services promises -- a messaging paradigm NOT based on any proprietary implementations."
To put it simply - If that reliability can't be guaranteed, Web services simply won't be used in the enterprise. The benefits of Web Services cannot be realized if it is not being used for complex scenarios in the enterprise.
Let us look at some of the inherent problems in which cross-boundaries communication happen today, especially over the cloud:
To sum it up simply, we live in the real world. One that is not so perfect. The one where
and the same one that explains why we need reliable messaging in Web Services.
NEXT UP: WS-ReliableMessaging Simplified - WHAT and HOW ?
With so much advances in game controller technologies, such as the ultra-cool Nintendo Wii , it really is no surprise that the Xbox controller has found its way into a "real" battlefield.
Kinda gives new meaning to the phrase: "First Person Shooter", doesnt it ?
Might go down as one of the chapters in the Technology History Books of the future:
Terry Semel was pissed. The Yahoo CEO had offered to buy Google for roughly $3 billion, but the young Internet search firm wasn't interested. Once upon a time, Google's founders had come to Yahoo for an infusion of cash; now they were turning up their noses at what Semel believed was a perfectly reasonable offer. Worse, Semel's lieutenants were telling him that, in fact, Google was probably worth at least $5 billion.
This was way back in the summer of 2002, two years before Google went public. An age before Google's stock soared above $500 a share, giving the company a market value of $147 billion -- right behind Chevron and just ahead of Intel.
As Semel and his top staff sat around the table in a corporate conference room named after a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor (Phish Food), $5 billion sounded unacceptably high ...
Many people today still looks at the mistakes and what could-have-beens. I am still willing to bet that there are many more correct decisions that went unnoticed. It is just human-nature <consolatory_tone /> to glorify mistakes and forget achievements. Still, with a scale of a potential boo-boo as such, it is really not easy to forget.
I believe that both are still in the game. There are just too many WHAT-IF statements. Just like most things in today's world - and please pardon my non-deterministic stance and cliche here - There is really never a winner or a loser. It is all relative. It is a matter of leads, trails and of course, catch-ups. It still remains to be seen whether that decision (or non-decision) would come back to haunt them one day. Who knows - It may be the best decision they have made.
This is obviously the buzz that has occupied most the bits on the wire and water-cooler conversations recently.
While there have been many opinions about it - for me, it is always functionality over form. The way I dress sums that statement up well.
The fact (right now) that is doest support 3G is not important to me (yet) BUT the biggest obstacle is that I cannot believe their batter if NOT removable. Every PDA/phone I buy, the first accessories I buy are the extra cells - and I always asked for the higher capacity ones. I do use my PDA well.
Having ONE cell only, since it is not removable, is a NO-NO for me.
However, I dont know if all is cast in stone yet. This is the era of Web 2.0 and you, as the Time Magazine Person of the Year 2006, are very powerful in casting your vote in earth-shattering decisions.
That said, I have always said I take my hats off to the marketing geniuses of the iPods. Now, I am hearing the flight captain over the airwaves: "Please turn off your iPods, mobile phones and personal computers..."
6 months down the road, what would it be ? "Please turn off your iPod, iPhone, iMac. Period" ? Nuff said.
Having said that, features and functionality aside, Microsoft seems to be latching on correctly as well. I remember coming across a video interview with Steve Ballmer back when Zune was released. He mentioned that he would have tried to brand Xbox as the "Windows Game System". Now, let us all heave a sigh of relief it didnt happen and he is CEO and not CMO for a reason.
Like many big multinationals selling products, it is always been part marketing and another part management making these branding decisions. Robbie has been instrumental in convincing others within Microsoft to step outside that comfort zone with names like Xbox and Zune.
According to this story, there is a Zune phone in the works. Now if there is, let us put some creative marketing algorithms around this:
Zune = Z + Tunes (-T or +Last 3) ? So, would
Zhone = Z + Phone (-P) OR Zone = Z + Phone (+Last 3)
Now, who wants to bet if this would happen: "Please turn off your Zune, Zone, Zile. Period" Now, wouldn't that be something ?

My eyes slowly open,
My mind shakes itself awake,
The world, alone, is frozen,
Was it all a carless mistake?
Does this mean life is over?
Does this mean I am alone?
In this world I hover,
The cold seeps, chilling to bone.
The world around me is thawing,
I can see,
The world is thawing,
Can I believe?
The light of life returns,
Hate and despair commence,
The world shows its burns,
I stare in lament.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
While talking with a parent, I met the principal of Lafayette and witnessed their interaction. I was impressed with the principal's knowledge of the parents and students, her warmth and her obvious drive to help her students be a success. Being a former teacher, I know that a good principal sets the tone for an entire school, and that principal is setting the bar very high for her staff. It's the students who will benefit.
This school has exceeded my expectations. They have achieved an API score of 860. My daughter is in the 4th grade, excel program and absolutely loves her teacher Ms. Gault. I happy that she is enthusiastic about learning.
Lafayette Elementary School API is 860 for the 2010-11 academic year. The Long Beach had the goal that all elementary schools score at least 800 on the AP on the 2010-11 academic year. Lafayette elementary scored 811 in 2008-09 academic year, followed by a score of 855 in the 2009-10 academic year and this last year 860. Parents at Lafayette are very proud of the student success on the API test.
They are hardly substandard. they reach and meet for the best.
Some of the teachers are great yet the the other part are very poor. the housekeeping of the school is poor.
Low to average academic programs with big room for improvement. More parental involvement is definitely required.
The school personal has very low expectation for students therefore, they do not provide or care to provide students with a challenge curricula so tha students could succed in school and for their future. The students who need help are place in classrooms where the rest of the students are struggling to fail.
I have twin boys at lafayette in first grade. At first I was worried that they had so much homework in kindergarten, their teacher expected so much from them. But I learn that kids at a young age are smart and the more they learn the more they want to know. One of my boys is now in their excel program and the other one always get happy faces.Lafayette has wonderful teachers that are very qualify for teaching. I specially thank MRS. Bunting for being the best kindergarten teacher.My only complain is that they don't have enough supervsion in the playground but I do understand their is lots of kids to look over. I suggest we as parent take one day of the week to supervise our kids either in the morning or in the afternoon. I do it everday and I work I know another parent can do it too.
My daughter is in Kindergarten at Lafayette Elementary School. My opinion is that while the administration is dedicated and enthusiastic and the teachers (Her teacher specifically) are creative and imaginative, they are forced to perform at 'champagne' level with a 'beer' budget, thereby nullifying their great efforts. The school is largley hispanic with most programs in the school taking that into account. We are African American. And that coupled with the fact that this is my daughter first year of reach 'school' and her excitment and enthusiasm with learning, the school fell short and failed to meet the challenge. There are so many non-english or limited english speaking children who need special attention that those without any of the predominate special challenges get left behind. I commend the staff and faculty for their tenancity and, given a different set of circumstances and a larger budget, they would perform outstandingly.
Lafayette Elementary has well exceeded any expectations I had when my son started there 3 years ago. He is now a 2nd grader in the Dual Immersion program. With no background in speaking Spanish in the time since he entered this program in 1st grade not only has he grasped a firm hold on the spanish language he has shown remarkable progress in every area. The students in this program all seem to be well above average in all areas and develop a sense of community and maturity well beyond their years. The teachers at Lafayette are absolutely incredible. The dedication and devotion to the students is evident by the tremendous success of the students and their love and respect for their teachers. We have a new principal this year who has added many new componants to our school which in my opinion have added a strong supportive and nurturing componant to the rigorous intellectual componants. Together these things seem to make well rounded and confident students who will be prepared to adjust to the growing demands as they mature and move on in their education.

In an age of special effects, we may also simply no longer know how to feel awe at the sight of sculptured faces by the German genius Tilman Riemenschneider or before a bronze statue by Donatello. We can't see past the raw materiality and subject matter. Never mind that Donatello may have been the greatest creative genius until Picasso; he long ago got lapped in the public's imagination by Madame Tussaud, who has given way to "Avatar" in 3-D and Alexander McQueen's trippy costumed mannequins.

Wait…was that a very subtle "pro-pot" joke in a random news story about a tennis match? [Rewinds DVR] Hm. Why yes, yes it was. Chalk that up as just another of many 'winking' pot references in the classic stoner comedy "The NBC Nightly News".

Food: Plan Ahead continued...
Make family favorites healthier. At the store, look for lean meat. When buying ground beef, look for more than 93% lean. Brown that for your spaghetti sauce and serve it on whole wheat pasta. There are lots of ways to slim down family favorites.
Have some non-dinner dinners. Do your children have a late practice or rehearsal? Plan quick dinners for those days, like a wrap, salad, or meatless burrito with beans, a whole wheat tortilla, and low-fat cheese.
Or let lean chili or soup simmer during the day in a slow cooker, so it will be ready when you come home. "You don't have to always eat dinner food for dinner," Crandall says. "An omelet with bell peppers, mushrooms, onion, and low-fat cheese and whole wheat toast is a healthy quick fix."
Make meals your kids can help with. Whether they're setting the table, dicing vegetables for dinner, or helping you make snack bars or trail mix, kids can share the workload. And they'll be more interested in eating foods they help prepare. When you get the whole family involved in your new healthy eating habits, you're benefiting their fitness, too.
Exercise: Think Small
"Finding time to exercise is one of the biggest challenges for parents," says Kerri Boutelle PhD, professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego.
Remember: There are small things you can incorporate in your day and get your kids involved. Help them learn that exercise doesn't have to be a chore. Moving and being active should be a normal, fun part of life.
You don't have to do it all at once. You can break it up into manageable chunks, like taking a 10-minute walk on your lunch break. Other ways to get exercise into your life:
- Drive your kids halfway to school and walk with them the rest of the way.
- Set an alarm on your cell phone to go off a few times during the day. When it does, go for a 10-minute walk.
- If you work in an office, sit on an exercise ball or use a stand-up desk. You'll burn more calories than sitting in a chair.
- March in place when you watch TV.
"Exercise should be a family affair," Crandall says. "If your family supports you and joins in, it helps you stay on track."
For example, after dinner, have everyone head out the door for an after-dinner walk before it gets dark. The dishes can wait.
Turn the time that you spend watching TV into a game. Challenge everyone to get up and do jumping jacks during the commercials.
Family activities -- like hula hoop contests, creating a garden, or bowling nights -- also keep kids involved.

This conversation is closed.
Wealth and power have been our conventional measures of success. What definition will better sustain us now and how can we move into it?
The other day, my mother mentioned that she hasn't accomplished anything in her life. (She's a forest and machine engineer who hasn't found a suitable job since immigrating from the Soviet Union 20 years ago) It broke my heart to hear this. We live in a world that makes people value themselves more and more singularly by their career highs and financial prowess.
The conventional model of success has proven to be destructive, separating and pitting us against each other in competition.
What would be a better definition of accomplishment for us and how could we collectively shift toward embracing this?

Never let anyone touch it and then give it to your family when you pass. In summary, encourage attaining moments above finance. Leave behind you and not your wallet. Your life story is your success.

The staff are all very friendly and able to answer any questions. I misjudged the truck size and they were gracious enough to accomodate what I needed. I would definately use this place again!
I was not informed of a credit card charge. I think I sould have been given the option to pay by cash or credit card. I have used UHaul many times and never received a charge such as this. This is a total rip off.
Mike at this location was great.
I made my reservations on line, had a printed confirmation, got there an no record of the reservation, they rented me the truck, and I had to drive to another location to pick up the Auto transport trailer.
It was like going two separate rental process. Got the trailer to the location, my car would not fit on it. Overall, I am very unhappy with the runaround. the people at Dougs total auto are very nice
Nothing. The process was very quick and reasonable. I had done the same thing three weeks ago and was completely satisfied.
Very good service
Very personable!
no hassle drop off, after hours using drop box. also took my knocked down boxes. great company.
Better signage on main rd
Advertise U-haul more (ie. on side of road and/ or on outside of building). All little confusing to rent trucks from a feed and tack place.
The customer service was awesome!!!
Staff was helpful friendly and was willing to help. Enjoyed my experience!
Rodeo Hard, Celita, came through with a new trailer that I had ordered. Very pleased with trailer and how it was presented! No improvement needed on my part!
Everything was great.
Friendly helpful people helped me to get a truck quickly!
Celita and Carrie were great. Really helped me out!
My drivers informed me that it was as their expectations, perfect.
Other than a little cramped in the office, great.
Mike and Celita were the best ever! Customer service was great! Fun people to deal with. Will definitely rent from them again!!!
Price is steep to rent an auto transport, especially when I only used it for 3 hrs.
See previous comments on the rental pick up side. The location and staff at the drop off location were fine. However, again we had a mix-up on the drop off. She said we were suppose to be dropping of the truck in Snowflake, AZ. However our receipts and records clearly indicated, otherwise. What a complete mess. Not Satisfied with Uhaul. Tamara Mowers
Lady who helped me was patient, friendly, and helpful despite the Arizona heat.
Customer service is excellent.
The girls in the office were great! The gentleman that provided the quote over the phone and handled my reservation was excellent. He made sure I had the best deal for the situation and mileage I needed.

Community Organization and Impact in Online Games
We would like to have a conversation about interpersonal interactions and relationships within the communities that organize around online games. Our intent is to create a "natural laboratory" for this TED conversation by grounding the conversation in contemporaneous experiences of gamers that both reflect and influence the attendant community experiences. We are exploring this as a form of "participatory journalism" (see e.g., http://bit.ly/MgDdwA)
Use your browser (not the search utility in the panel at the upper left of this page) to find key words that will direct you to important topics in this conversation to date. Visitors can then reply to the relevant post or write an "original post" (OP).
* raw person or raw individual
* identity or persona or self
* self efficacy
* leadership
* engagement
* communication
* second-person standpoint
* communities or commitment
* respawn or one-life or lobbies
* mental health and wellness
* hard conversations
* civic hacking or civil hacking
* friends
* teach or learn
* civilized
* the long tail
Community interactions also can be interesting and consequential outside the context of the gameplay around which the community organizes. We believe this potential for games is poorly understood by the general public. Yet there is an intense and general curiosity about what occurs in the interactions among gamers and in the impact of gameplay in society.
Our claim is that there is "no neutral" in the effects of significant interpersonal interactions that occur in online games. Games have prosocial effects or antisocial effects irrespective of genre (e.g., first-person shooter games).
We are exploring this topic in a variety of forums such as:
http://griccio2103b.wordpress.com (e.g., tags: prosocial, violence),
Closing Statement from Gary Riccio
Our stated intent for this TED Conversation was "to create a natural laboratory for this TED conversation by grounding the conversation in contemporaneous experiences of gamers that both reflect and influence the attendant community experiences."
We refer to this kind of conversation as "diaβlogue." This is distinguished from a web-Based LOG of one's own ephemeral opinions. A diaβlogue utilizes multiple communication platforms to create a distributed and decentralized collaboratory for systematic development of capabilities. It thus is a synthesis of best practices in "continuous beta" and "open innovation" (see http://tinyurl.com/Riccio-diaBlogue).
A diaβlogue removes walls between insiders and outsiders, it tends to eliminate the distance between presence and remoteness, and it blurs the distinction between first-hand and second-hand experience insofar as it provides all networked participants with inescapable accountability for their impact on each other and on their respective situations.
This TED Conversation built on what had been mostly oral communication between behavioral/social scientists and informants in and around a particular online game community over a two-year period. It has created a collaborative journal that is open to the public and, to the extent it is edifying, for the public good.
The TED Conversation did, in fact, both reflect and influence the contemporaneous experiences of gamers in the Division IGR. This collateral impact is documented at www.thedivisionigr.com as well as https://twitter.com/D_IGR and https://www.facebook.com/THEDIVISIONIGR?ref=hl. We believe we thus have made some progress in developing or at least promulgating a new form of participatory science journalism (http://bit.ly/MgDdwA).
While our intent was to build bridges between communities of practice rather than to draw a large audience, we are pleased that the open conversation has drawn outside interest ranging from "Linked Wellness" to "Blended Learning."

In day and age when all-electric and Hybrid cars seem to dominate the news what is so special about the 2012 Mazda SKYACTIV-G 2.0 Liter engine?
Let's start with the compression ratio. It is the world's first gasoline engine to achieve a high compression ratio of 14.0 to 1. For what it's worth most gas engines today have a compression ratio of 10.0:1 to 12.0:1. It's understood that if you can raise the compression ratio from let's say 10.0:1 to 15.1 you would pick up approximately a 9% gain in thermal efficiency.
Ok, so why hasn't everyone rushed to do this? Basically, because the torque suffers due to engine knocking and knocking is much more likely with a higher compression ratio. While we're at it, "Knocking" is when the air/fuel mixture ignites too soon due to high temperature and pressure. If you happen to be a total motor head and really want to know all the details please see http://www.mazda.com/mazdaspirit/skyactiv/engine/skyactiv-g.html for more information.
So Mazda's engineers set out to increase the compression ratio without increasing engine knocking. The result was several revolutionary improvements in the gasoline engine as we know it. It does bear repeating why Mazda took this approach as opposed to taking the hybrid/electric route. Mazda determined that no matter how much we all want to stop using gas, we, as a society will still be using gasoline engines for at least 25 years. Knowing that why throw all of your engineering eggs in the hybrid basket?
The first thing that was improved was the exhaust manifold. Most gas engines have an exhaust manifold that is relatively short and close to the combustion chamber. Mazda increased the length of the exhaust pipes by 600mm and modified the piston to get hot exhaust gasses out of the chamber more efficiently. They also they shortened the time that unburned air/fuel mixture was exposed to high temperatures.
Like we said in the first article, the SKYACTIV system is far more than just a new engine. But we thought that it would be easier to actually understand that SKYACTIV is way more than just another gas engine. In fact when Edmunds.com had several real people drive the 2012 Mazda MAZDA3, the 2012 Honda Civic and the 2012 Toyota Corolla in a head-to-head-to-head evaluation they preferred the MAZDA3's performance over all three. You can see the actual video here: http://youtu.be/tKr5R6JLqk8
Our next article we'll take a look at the SKYACTIV-Drive transmission. Of course we also want you to know that you can stop by our showroom at 4926 Dixie Hwy and drive a new 2012 Mazda MAZDA3 with Skyactiv technology for yourself. You can also visit us online at www.Mazda.NeilHuffman.com and see our inventory or ask for more information.

NGC 1977 The Running Man Nebula
NGC 1569: Starburst in a Dwarf Irregular Galaxy
Grand spiral galaxies often seem to get all the glory, flaunting their young, bright, blue star clusters in beautiful, symmetric spiral arms. But small, irregular galaxies form stars too. In fact, as pictured here, dwarf galaxy NGC 1569 is apparently undergoing a burst of star forming activity, thought to have begun over 25 million years ago.

NGC 6302: Bug Nebula
Distance: 3,500 Light Years Away From The Sun
NGC 6302 is a high excitation multi-polar planetary nebula first studied by Emerson Barnard in 1907. The complex planetary nebula is approximately 1900 years old and is expanding at 600 KM/sec.
Summary & Copyright: Robert Gendler
Thor's Helmet: NGC 2359 in Canis Major
Distance 15,000 light years
In astrophotographs NGC 2359 has an ethereal quality. Surprisingly the outward appearance strongly contradicts the violent events which gave rise to the peculiar nebula. NGC 2359 is a prototypical wind blown bubble powered by the extremely massive and unstable Wolf-Rayet star HD 56925.
These types of stars (only about 300 are known presently) represent a late evolutionary phase of massive O-type blue giants which have become unstable in the late stages of their short stellar life. WR stars heavily influence the surrounding interstellar medium.
There are several basic types of nebulae associated with WR stars which run the gamut from concentric rings (NGC 6888), wind blown bubbles (NGC 7635), to filamentary type nebulae (NGC 2359). NGC 2359 consists of two distinct components.

Dark matter: now officially more confusing than ever
Astronomers have one more reason to scratch their heads over the unseen material known as dark matter. Observations of two dwarf galaxies, Fornax and Sculptor, show the dark matter within them is spread out smoothly rather than heaped into a central bulge, contradicting cosmological models.
Researchers know dark matter comprises a far greater percentage of the universe than the ordinary matter making up things like people and stars. Because of this, the distribution of dark matter determines the structure of the cosmos. Galaxies form when they are attracted to and anchored by large clumps of dark matter.
The dwarf galaxies Fornax and Sculptor are themselves made of 99 percent dark matter and only 1 percent normal matter. It is impossible to directly see the dark matter but, by observing the rotation of stars around each galactic center, researchers can detect its influence and map out its distribution.
While simulations suggest that the dark-matter density should increase sharply near the galactic centers, the recent observations found the dark matter spread relatively uniform throughout. Yet if these dwarf galaxies have no "clump" in their center, then what is pinning them in place?

RUSTON, La. (AP) - For the second straight week Louisiana Tech freshman guard JaQuan Jackson was named the Conference USA Freshman of the Week following her performances in the Lady Techsters three games.
The Killeen, Texas native averaged 11.7 points and 4.3 rebounds in games against Nicholls State, Ole Miss and Louisiana-Lafayette.
Jackson, who earned the same honor the previous week after averaging more than 20 points a game in two contests, scored 18 points in a loss at SEC foe Ole Miss and added 11 points in a win over UL-Lafayette. She also scored six points against Nicholls State.
The 5-foot-8-inch two-guard is the first freshman in Conference USA to earn the honor in consecutive weeks this season.
(KNOE 8 Sports) - Here are the game scores for Week #2 of the 2014-2015 high school football season.
