When I first saw the Mercedes Benz GLK premier in the Sex and the City movie all I could think was, this is a vehicle strictly intended for females. Although the squared off two box exterior looks like this mini G Wagon should be off-roading, the compact crossover is too small to be anything but cute, and the clean white exterior doesn't help its cause either. However the 20's our GLK is riding on are another story.
The interior is nicely finished, everything you would expect from Mercedes, there is the familiar large three spoke steering wheel and beautiful brushed metal trim. The audio system is easy to use audio, that is once you figure out how to control the imitation i drive wheel, I just wish the same could be said for the climate controls, there are simply too many buttons.
It took parking next to a Focus hatchback for me to realize that this would be perfect luxury vehicle for Europeans; the GLK was just slightly bigger than the Ford in every dimension. It's attractive, easy to drive and especially with BlueTEC power, would make a great car overseas.
Keep following Top Speed for more on our GLK and to see if I change my mind about feeling like I should be wearing stilettos.

I love this soup recipe and look forward to making stock with the turkey carcass after Thanksgiving just so I can make it!
Turkey Caldo Tlalpeno
Photography: Karry Hosford
Named after a community on the outskirts of Mexico City--Tlalpan--this is a simple brothy soup studded with bits of turkey and chickpeas. If you've already eaten all the leftover turkey, chop some rotisserie chicken. Adjust the spice level to your taste by using more or less chipotle. We liked it spicy.

What's New - June 2014
Google Integration
Google Integration is a feature that allows instructors to integrate Google Docs and Google Sites created in Google Apps at Princeton into their Blackboard courses.
The integration of Google Apps at Princeton with Blackboard enables instructors to collaborate with Princeton students via the students' "@princeton.edu" accounts. Instructors create Documents and Sites within the Google Drive environment. Once created and linked within a Blackboard course site, this Google Drive content is shared automatically with all Princeton students enrolled in the course. The share settings for Documents and Sites by default assign the "collaborator" role for all students, allowing the students to edit and add to the linked Documents and Sites, though instructors can, if they wish, limit student privileges to only viewing the content.
Group Management
Group experiences are critical for fostering a more personal and engaging student experience in courses and organizations. Whether you have a large number of groups with many students or just a few small groups, creating and managing those groups in Blackboard Learn is easier than ever.
Creating Groups
It's simple to create groups in Courses and Organizations. With a new "Add Users" interface, Blackboard made it very easy to choose the students you want to add to a group as well as distinguish among students by viewing their picture and Profile Card. Once a group is created, adding and removing members is just as easy.
Grade Center Smart Views
When you create a group, you can now simply click a button to create a Smart View in the Grade Center that corresponds to that group. A Smart View is a focused look at the Grade Center that is saved for continued use. You can also create and access a group's Smart View directly from the "All Groups" management page.
One Place to Manage Your Groups
The "All Groups" management page is a one-stop-shop for managing your groups. It provides bulk actions for deleting groups and creating Smart Views, quick actions on individual groups, and sortable columns. You can also view and manage tool availability for each group right from this page.
On the "All Users" management page you have a complete picture of group membership across all of your students. You can easily search and sort students to quickly view and manage their group memberships. You can view which groups each student belongs to, add users to groups, and delete users from groups – all from this page.
Importing and Exporting Groups
You can now also import and export groups and group memberships as well as view a history of import and export actions. For example, you can export a CSV (comma-separated value) file containing your existing groups and group members, reorganize as needed offline, and then import them. Or you may want to export groups from one course and import them into another course to replicate the same structure.
Date Management
Date Management is a new utility that allows instructors to have the system automatically "shift" content and tool dates in a course in a highly efficient way. After the system makes this shift, the instructor is able to see all the dates in one place – due dates, adaptive release dates, test dates – they're all pre-populated based on your previous course setup. And of course you'll be able to validate and tweak dates using a single user interface.
And what if you decide to add a new lesson that will shift everything in your course? No problem. With the bulk move option, you can push the dates of multiple items at once.
Grade Center Improvements
Instructors spend so much in the Grade Center, and critical it is critical that your workflow be as easy and seamless as possible. Therefore, several improvements have been made to the Grade Center in this release.
My Grades Ordering & Design Update
Based on instructor feedback, Blackboard redesigned the My Grades page for students. Now you can control the presentation of scores – by last activity, due date or Grade Center alignment. Other improvements make this view easy on the eyes and easy to comprehend including:
New "Order By" option in the top-right.
The "All," "Graded," "Upcoming," and "Submitted" filters allow the student to narrow down the number of rows they see.
The text size and row spacing have been reduced, resulting in more information being displayed on the page at once.
Feedback is included right in-line, so the student doesn't need to click on anything to view it – it just shows up on the page.
Test total points adjustment
You have more control over Grade Center fields that are auto-summed from test. Instructors can adjust the total points possible while maintaining the integrity of the exam.
Grading Schemas greater than 100%
Previously, the grading schema in the Grade Center had a maximum value of 100%. This is no longer the case and percentages can be greater than 100%.
Define "Score Attempts Using" setting from the "Options" page
This is a basic workflow improvement to ensure that instructors know about and can easily find this setting for tools that support multiple attempts.
Test and Survey Options
Test and survey options allow instructors to edit the name and description of a test or survey. Options control the availability, presentation, and feedback. These options are available only after a test or survey is added to a content area. When instructors add a test or survey to a content area, it is "deployed."
To edit options for a deployed test or survey, access a test or survey's contextual menu and select Edit the Test Options or Edit the Survey Options.
Test Availability Exceptions
New settings—called Test Availability Exceptions—have been added to the Test/Survey Options page, available only after the test or survey is added to a content area. The new settings allow instructors to select one or more groups of students and make a number of exceptions to the already established availability settings. Instructors can use exceptions to provide an accommodation to a disabled student, or provide accommodations for technology and language differences.
Instructors can change these settings at any time, even after the test has been attempted by some students. If conflicts in rules occur, the most permissive settings for that user or group of users is granted. For example, the students would receive the greatest number of attempts, longest availability time, and so on. Individual exceptions override group exceptions when an exception is explicitly added for an individual user, even though that user belongs to one or more groups that have exceptions.
Instructors can create exceptions for:
Number of attempts.
Time of test.
Auto submit on or off.
Availability of test using start and end dates.
Force completion on or off.
Show Test Results and Feedback to Students
After they complete a test, results and feedback are available to students. By setting up rules, instructors can set the release of progressive feedback to keep test results secure and prevent cheating. Rules occur in the order they appear.
For example, you can choose After Submission to present Score, All Answers, Correct, Submitted, Feedback and Show Incorrect Answers to show students their scores along with all answer options. Student also see their submitted answers marked as correct or incorrect and any feedback provided.
Test Begin Page
The first page students see before a test includes several changes that clarify taking the test, including:
The test description, when provided by the instructor.
The test instructions, when provided by the instructor.
Forced completion and timer setting descriptions.
If students have already completed an attempt, they see a test previously taken page. From here they can:
See previous completion information, and the number of attempts remaining if any.
Go back to their courses.
View previous attempts.
Take the test again, if permitted.
Adding Questions to a Test or Survey
New questions added to a test or survey no longer appear at the bottom of the test, and then requiring dragging them into the proper order. On the test or survey canvas, instructors can add new questions exactly where they want them. Click the plus sign before or after another question and choose a question type.
Due Date and Late Submissions
A new setting lets instructors decide whether or not to allow a student to take a test after the due date has passed. If students are not allowed to take a test after the due date has passed, they will receive a message telling them the test cannot be completed because the due date has passed.
When late submissions are allowed, they are clearly marked on the Needs Grading page, the View All Attempts page, the Review Test Submission page, and the Grade Details page.
Quick Links
The Quick Links tool will help significantly improve the navigation experience for sighted, keyboard-only users. This tool can be quickly accessed on any page using a link at the very top of the page or a keyboard shortcut (Control+Alt+L). It will aggregate a list of all of the landmarks and headings on a page and allow a user to select one and jump directly to that location within the page. It will also collect and highlight any keyboard shortcuts that exist for the current page or tool, providing another method for quickly completing key tasks within the application.
lynda.com Intergation
lynda.com online training software courses can easily be browsed and incorporated into Blackboard course sites. The lynda.com training library contains over 1,000 titles featuring a wide variety of software packages, such as Adobe and Microsoft Office products, video- and audio-editing software, web development applications, scripting, and 3D design packages.
Discontinued: Wimba Voice Tools
Launching Wimba tools has become more and more problematic and frustrating, especially for students. The company is aware of the issues, but is no longer putting resources into developing and modernizing the product, and informs us they have no plans to do so, as their efforts are being channeled into developing their more feature-rich (and exponentially more expensive) Web-conferencing tool. While we are investigating Web-conferencing tools that can be integrated with Blackboard, a decision on adopting one is still in the future.
Our suggestion for a substitute for Wimba is using Audacity, the free open source, cross-platform software for recording and editing sounds. Some of our language courses are already using it successfully. It can be downloaded at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/. Instructors and students can record their voices, then save the file to be uploaded to Blackboard Discussion Boards, Blogs, Assignments, tests, and email. Using the Blackboard discussion boards will give you the closest approximation to the Wimba Voice Boards.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm with Eliah on this one - the old experience of long waits between patches was annoying. The folks complaining about how Blizz handles bugs should imagine what it was like when you might have to wait two or three months for any fixes at all (and yes, I know there are still bugs that hang around for a long time but I don't believe as many as there used to be).
Also, vanilla wow had exactly two things to do at endgame - PvP or raid. Now there's a whole lot more. I mean, I remember the Darkmoon fair going in being the pinnacle of new casual content! I sure wouldn't still be playing if the game hadn't expanded as much as it has. So yeah, whoever this "B-team" is, good job guys!
epsilon343 said...
The thing you point out about the casual players getting more to do is also, I think, the biggest failing. Blizzard has made great strides in making the game accessible and enjoyable for casual players that make it so that people don't HAVE to raid or PVP. And that's GREAT!
But on the other side of the coin...those same strides haven't been made in the PVE/end game content and everything I've been seeing seems to be confirming that this trend will continue. The new raid looks horribly uninteresting and rivaling the 3.0 raids in terms of laziness. From what I've seen, most of the bosses borrow tactics from previous encounters and the instance is a single room that collapses and you encounter a reused boss from this expansion. Nothing is original and it all feels old before we've even gone into it.
My $.02
I dunno. I made a post above that pretty much sums up my feeling about end game PvE in vanilla. Personally I think we as a player base have gotten kind of spoiled. We get new content and new armor sets every 2-3 months, and we complain that it's not ZOMGthebestthingeverseen. It's like the whole thing with the new armor designs. We complain when our armor doesn't match, but giant flashy sets only look good if you have the whole set, otherwise you look like a clown. So they give us mix and match gear, and we complain that it's not huge and flashy. *shrug* Eventually it's just the same arguments recycled over and over and over again. There are posts in this thread that could be copied verbatim into a thread from three years ago.

Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the transition of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Uranium Enrichment Program to the United States Enrichment Corporation.
GAO found that: (1) despite a short transition period and a small transition team, the Corporation was successfully established on July 1, 1993; (2) DOE effectively completed the lease agreements, developed regulatory oversight responsibilities, and transferred the assets necessary for the Corporation's establishment; (3) of the $11.9 million in total transition costs, DOE costs totalled about $6.5 million and the transition team's costs totalled about $5.4 million; (4) most of DOE costs resulted from planning studies, acquiring lease agreements for uranium plants, and transfer fees; (5) the Corporation used uranium enrichment account funds to pay for all transition costs; (6) at the time of the Corporation's establishment, DOE transferred about $2.2 billion in cash, accounts receivable, and raw and low-enriched uranium inventories to the Corporation; and (7) during the Corporation's operation it developed procurement policies and procedures, properly contracted support services using competitive procedures, implemented integrated financial accounting systems that conformed with appropriate accounting principles, and developed effective personnel policies.

PISCATAWAY, NJ - Junior Jack Egbert (Rutherford, NJ) has earned BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week honors for the week ending Sunday, March 21. Egbert, who shares the award with Pittsburgh's Jeff Landing, has now received two weekly awards from the conference already this season. Egbert was named the league's Pitcher of the Week on March 1 as well.
Egbert made one start last week, holding Florida International to just four hits and three runs in 7.0 innings of work. He also walked just two and struck out nine, one strikeout shy of his career best (10 vs. Virginia Tech, May 22, 2003). He allowed just two runs through seven innings before a leadoff home run in the eighth and retired nine of 10 from the first through the fourth innings, including five in a row by strikeout. He left the game following a leadoff home run and walk in the eighth and Rutgers held on behind the relief pitching of freshman Steve Healing (Brick, NJ), who earned his first save with two shutout innings of action, and the clutch hitting of Jeff Frazier (Toms River, NJ), who delivered a pair of two-out, RBI singles.
He is currently 2-1 this season with a 6.60 ERA, allowing 35 hits and 22 earned runs in 30.0 IP. Opponents are hitting .289 against him thus far. He also held Old Dominion to just three hits and one unearned run in nine innings of work on Feb. 27, picking up a 2-1, 10-inning victory.
Rutgers (5-11) returns to action on Wednesday at Fairleigh Dickinson at 3:00 p.m. The Scarlet Knights' BIG EAST slate kicks off on Saturday, when they head north to South Orange for a doubleheader with Seton Hall, beginning at noon.

David Blake Hartley
Southern Comfort
If you mistakenly thought that the largest soundstage on the East Coast might be in New York City or South Florida, you are forgiven your ignorance. After all, UPM David Blake Hartley didn't even know there was a film industry in Wilmington when he moved there some 25 years ago to study marine biology at the University of North Carolina.
"When UNC introduced its first film internship program in 1983, I put my oceanic studies aside and dived in to the industry," the state's busiest UPM explains from the set of his long-running TV series, One Tree Hill. "Until Dino De Laurentiis came to town around 1984 and fired up three to four projects at the same time—we're talking features like Blue Velvet and The Year of the Dragon—there was no [film production] infrastructure at all."
And as Hartley tells it, if not for the flamboyant and oversized ambition of said Italian producer, this diverse coastal city would not be constructing its 10th soundstage with a water tank and all. "Dino brought in creative heads like directors, DPs, and production designers from all over the world," Hartley continues, "so the crew base that started the industry in Wilmington, like myself, was exposed to all different kinds of filmmaking styles. That influence has lasted to this day and directors get an amazing variety of looks for such a small town. The facilities and crews are on par with New York or L.A."
Although Hartley's sister, a one-time TV producer in Charlotte, warned him to steer clear of the film industry because of its "nomadic instability," the UPM says he's been a homebody most of the time. In fact, more than half of his 25 working years in North Carolina have been spent on two hit series—Dawson's Creek and currently One Tree Hill.
Hartley says that no one who comes to town to shoot can resistthe area's laid-back coastal vibe, or the self-deprecating humor of Carolina crews. For instance, he recalls the time Arnold Schwarzenegger came to Wilmington to make Raw Deal in the late '80s. "He was playing a small-town sheriff who takes on a new identity to infiltrate the mob. In one scene, cameras are rolling, the elevator doors open, Arnold adjusts his fancy suit, takes out a fine cigar, lights it, and...boom! His bodyguard had 'loaded' the cigar with one of those small explosive charges that you buy at novelty shops. The cigar exploded like a cartoon and, of course, our crew all roared."

A study of 911 operators from 24 states found about one-third of potentially traumatic phone calls caused them to be emotionally distressed.
About three percent of operators had severe enough symptoms to be diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder.
Operators most commonly listed the unexpected injury or death of a child to be the hardest type of 911 call to handle, followed by suicidal callers.

Whatever Ed Miliband's flaws, the British people love an underdog, especially when they feel like underdogs.
Our libel laws affect what we can write, what we read, what we discuss - online and offline. The Queen's Speech on 9 May may, just, strike a blow for freedom of expression that will benefit authors, researchers, journalists, bloggers and others, not only in the UK but around the world.
Media freedom has the power to transform societies and to change the course of history. Over the past year, across the Middle East and North Africa, ordinary citizens found their voices using social media and blogs. But freedom of expression continues to be repressed in many countries and some have seen a significant decline in media freedoms. Around the world, journalists, bloggers and others have been obstructed from doing their work by being harassed, monitored, detained, or subjected to violence.
My westernised nephew said this to his father recently. "Men rule the world dad, but women control men, so really women rule the world". Very smart and intuitive, and quite possibly true in some households. But in Afghanistan women are the missing and beaten half of humanity.
The word "nuclear" is often on the front pages of the press, whether you're in Tehran, Tokyo or Tunis. In the last few weeks alone, we've seen international talks about Iran's nuclear programme and united international concern that it is developing a nuclear weapon.
The proposals for a 'Pasty Tax' have certainly caused a stir in Westminster and across the country. It will have been hard to avoid the media furore on this, one of a series of measures in last month's budget which have attracted criticism from across the board.
It is difficult to justify such a large body and in an era where there is clearly a desire for increasing democratic accountability and transparency, it is difficult to justify a revising Chamber that is wholly nominated and where no member is elected.
Over the past few weeks the government's flagship energy efficiency policy, the Green Deal, has lurched from one setback to the next.
Under this Coalition government, the Foreign Office has a renewed sense of mission. It is a mission to promote Britain's national interest, while tirelessly working for a world which is more secure, more stable, more free and more prosperous. In no area is this more relevant than the fight against climate change. Today ministers from more than 20 countries will meet in London with the goal of speeding up global progress on clean energy. I am in no doubt that we must meet this challenge...
Since my brush with death at the Ashura bombing in Kabul, and my crack on the head, I have developed a disturbing ability. In the same way that bats can locate moths by echolocation, I have discovered that I can locate furniture with my shins. We never stop learning it seems. It started in Dubai when I jammed my foot into a table and sliced my toe open.
Now, more than ever, we need a World Bank that is credible, effective and responsive to the economic pressures of the 21st century. Dr Kim will take on its presidency knowing the task ahead of him to be considerable.
On my final night in Beirut, we went out to dinner at a restaurant that specialises in Chocolate dishes. If your sole intake of chocolate for three months has been Ferrero Rocher, then you are to endorphins what insomnia is to sleep - utterly deprived.
The last few years have been an exciting, yet scary and unknown time for the nuclear industry. After decades of inaction under various governments the coalition announced a major initiative to see new nuclear power station construction.
When it comes to water, the scale of the threat from our changing climate has never been laid out quite so starkly, and against such a dramatic backdrop that is drought.
Our cousins across the pond were horrified and, rightly so, at the damage wrought by the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But what about the misconduct of the U.S oil company, Chevron, in Ecuador?
Few events in the political calendar underline quite so graphically the power of the government and the impotence of the opposition as much as the Queen's speech. Backed by all the pomp and finery the British state can muster, the Gracious Address, to give it its proper title, affords the government the opportunity to draw a line under past difficulties, and turn a somewhat dry recitation of its legislative programme into a demonstration of its political priorities. The shadow cabinet should seize on this year's Queen's speech to provide its own 'shadow Queen's speech' as a way of demonstrating how Britain could be different under Labour.

Fernanda Coppel's Chimichangas and Zoloft Bites Off More Than It Can Chew
To refer to something as being "sitcom level" often has a negative connotation, which shouldn't always be the case; sitcoms are a valid, valued form of entertainment. It's just that what they set out to do – introduce a situation, develop and then resolve it within 22 minutes – can only accommodate so much within its limited storytelling framework. So when I refer to Chimichangas and Zoloft, Fernanda Coppel's new play currently running at the Atlantic Theater Company's Stage 2, I don't aim to insult it. Playwright Coppel certainly demonstrates a penchant for catchy but realistic dialogue. She's working in the right genre. But she has yet to figure out exactly how to play within the size of her chosen sandbox.
Coppel has created five characters representing two Mexican-American Los Angeles families undergoing some major sea changes in their lives. Upon turning forty, Sonia (Zabryna Guevara), a depressive wife and mother, has abandoned husband Ricardo (Teddy Cañez) and daughter Jackie (Carmen Zilles). Jackie's best friend, Penelope (Xochitl Romero), meanwhile, knows what it is like to grow up sans mother, having been raised by single dad Alejandro (Alfredo Narciso). Hyper-articulate and mis-educated, young teens Jackie and Penelope have to contend not only with changes in their family architecture but also with some weighty problems affecting their own immediate futures.
I won't spoil any of Coppel's plot points, which seem to come as surprises though they hew quite close to formula content. I will say, however, that Chimichangas – whose title alone shouts for humor – has been structured as a comedy and nimbly staged by talented director Jaime Castañeda as such, and this is ultimately an ill fit for a show that derails into very heavy subject matter regarding one's identity and serious life choices. Chimichangas works best in its earliest scenes, when we first meet characters saying and doing relatively innocuous things. As the show continues, and more hugging, learning, and fighting occur, it becomes too glib. The size of these situations is bigger than the theatrical walls and running time really allow for.
However, the show's remarkable cast navigates this rough terrain with aplomb, with a uniformly terrific attentiveness to the rhythms of Coppel's firecracker dialogue and to Castañeda's timing. Romero and Zilles are believable as teenagers and strike up the right combination of faux bravado and insecure angst, supplying the play with both its comedic funny bone and also its tender heart. Guevara, stuck punctuating each of Chimichangas's chapters with unnecessary monologues that tell the audience what we need to know but provide further additional insight (for instance, what is Penelope's deep connection to Sonya? And exactly what kind of a marriage did Ricardo and Sonya have?), nails her role; there isn't a single inflection that isn't totally justified.
Another problem with Chimichangas is that it is unclear exactly whose story is the central one. Is the young girls'? Sonya's? Or does it belong to either Alejandro or Ricardo, played here by the powerhouse duo of Cañez's appropriately rigid characterization and Narciso's sadder, looser one? The two of them work so well in their scenes together and with the actresses who play their daughters that one is sorry they don't have more stage time. Of course, that's the problem with this overstuffed, occasionally amateurish play. Coppel hasn't yet figured out that sometimes, less really is more.

Rapid rain quickly flooded parts of Johnson
County this morning.
Parts of Highway 421 and Highway 67
received the brunt of it.
The high waters come only days after
another flood hit the area on Saturday.
One family tells us the water came up
to their home, ripped off the siding, and even washed one of their storage
sheds down a creek that runs behind their home.
Today's flooding did even more damage,
washing up some roads and washing away more property.
"We got a phone call this morning
and said it surrounded the house again," said Johnson County resident Debbie
Dunn. "I guess the state, the county...have been working hard to try to detour
it from the house."
The Johnson County Sheriff's Department
tells us they did not have to evacuate anyone from their home during the
flooding event this morning.
Johnson County is experiencing flooding right now due to heavy rain this morning.
Johnson County Sheriff Mike Reece says Highway 421 North has the worst flooding issues right now.
Sheriff Reece says there is also flooding on Highway 67.

The state attorney general's office says the lawsuit brought by Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz against the State Board of Education is unauthorized and invalid.
Ritz says that the State Board of Education violated state law by secretly drafting a letter to top lawmakers asking them to have legislative analysts calculate A-F grades for schools instead of her department.
Attorney General Greg Zoeller's office filed a motion Thursday to strike the Department of Education's court filing by saying that he is the only legal authority who can represent state officials in court proceedings.
The court has not yet ruled or scheduled a hearing in response to the Attorney Generals motion.

A rather large church had been built at Ukirigulu, in Bukumbi Parish, Mwanza Archdiocese in Tanzania. It was ready for the blessing by His Grace the Archbishop Anthony Mayala on 17th. December, 1993. It was a festive occasion, of course, but I was not so happy because the walls were still only plastered with cement and looked a drab grey. At about the same time a priest-friend of mine in the Netherlands asked me if I had a project for which he could find funds. I asked him to help me out for painting the walls with some Biblical scenes. I had already seen murals in a church of the neighbouring parish, Nyakato, done by an African artist. He had received some training from Danish people, who are regular visitors to Bujora parish, where they study and promote the local traditions of the Sukuma people, one of the largest tribes in West Tanzania. Charles Ndege, a young promising African artist, followed another session with these Danish people before he started in Ukirigulu church. He was asked to paint a Christ of the faith, not a historical Christ as such, who belongs to all people and is not like the European Christ of the pictures former missionaries had brought with them.
There can be added something more about the pictures themselves. For example you see that the Last Supper is not eaten in a room or big hall. The meal is taken outside and the participants are sheltered behind a reed fence. Unwanted onlookers cannot see what is going on. The resurrection scene is a mixture of colours indicating the dawn and glorious happening. The mural of the Let the Children Come to Me is very lively. Look at the child still rushing on. It is all creative work for which the artist had to use his own imagination after reading the Bible. Everywhere Charles Ndege painted the murals in the African setting.

This blog is all about science and technology (with occasional math thrown in for fun). The goal of this blog is to try and pass on the sense of excitement and wonder I feel when I read about these topics. I hope you enjoy the posts.
Last time we looked at the volume and surface area of one, two, three, and four dimensional hyperspheres. We found that if we took the integral in spherical coordinates, we could find the volume of a circle, sphere, hypersphere, etc. We saw that to find the surface area of a hypersphere, you just set R constant and integrate the angular portions. It's worth noting that you can also simply take the derivative with respect to r of the volume to get the surface area, for example, the two dimensional case:
Surface Area = d/dr V(r) = d/dr(πr2) = 2πr
So how can we extend what we've done for any n-dimensional hypersphere? Is there a general expression for the volume of a hypersphere in n-dimensions? Turns out it can be calculated (This is a complicated calculation, please see links at bottom for derivations). The result is:
where Γ is the gamma function. The gamma function is a function that looks like:
You can see from the graph above that the gamma function (Γ) is discontinous at 0, -1,-2,-3,......-n). The gamma function is a more general expression of the factorial:
where z can be a negative number, fractional number, or complex number. In fact, the graph above is only the real number graph of the function. The entire function, including the complex parts looks like:
That's a bit more than we need, since we are talking about dimensions which are positive integers (at least in this discussion). As a result, the gamma function in the equation:
the z of the gamma function will be positive integers for even n and positive fractions (3/2, 5/2, etc.) for odd n in the equation above. As a result, we can break out the general solution in terms of even and odd number of dimensions.
We break them out this way because of the identities:
which allow you to get values for the fractional factorials found in the odd number of dimensions case.
Volume of a Hypersphere with Even Number of Dimensions
We can now calculate the volumes of hyperspheres of different even dimensions (2,4, 6, ... 2n), without integration, since we now have the general solution.
For 2 dimensions we get:
π1(r)2(1/1!) = πr2
For 4 dimensions we get:
π2(r)4(1/2!) = 1/2 π2r4
which agrees with the value we got for a four dimensional hypersphere in part one.
Volume of a Hypersphere with Odd Number of Dimensions
We can now calculate the volumes of hyperspheres of different odd dimension (1,3, 5, ... 2n-1), without integration, since we now have the general solution.
For 3 dimensions we get:
23π1(1!/3!)r3= (8/6)πr3 = (4/3)πr3
For 5 dimesions we get:
25π2(2!/5!)r5= (64/120)π2r5 = (8/15)π2r5
Volume of a Hypersphere as Dimension Increases
So now we have the volumes of hyperspheres of one, two, three, four, and five dimensions. If we call a hypersphere with radius=1 (r=1), a unit hypersphere, we can see that r2=1, r3=1, r4=1, .... rn=1, so we can get real numerical values for our volumes. Now we can take a look at the volume of the unit hypersphere with increasing dimesion (up to 10 dimensions). We get:
Notice that the volume of the unit hypersphere is at a maximum in 5 dimensions and the surface area of the unit hypersphere is at a maximum in 7 dimensions.
If we take the limit as the number of dimensions approaches infinity (Lim n→∞), you would find that the volume approaches zero (V→0). So after 5 dimensions, the volume gradually decreases as more dimensions are added. Also, since surface area is simply the derivative with respect to r of the volume, the surface area also approaches zero (SA→0) as the number of dimensions approaches infinity(Lim n→∞), though it would approach zero slightly slower than the volume does, which explains why surface area peaks in 7 dimensions instead of 5 dimensions.
Of course, that's just the unit hypersphere (radius = 1), what about hyperspheres of larger radius? Does the volume of those hyperspheres go to zero as the number of dimensions goes to infinity? Lets take a look at the volume for an even number of dimensions again:
Lets see if there is any value of r that would produce a nonzero volume as n→∞
If we use Stirlings Approximation:
and make our radius:
r= (1/√π)(√πn)1/n(n/2e)
we get:
V = [πn/2 rn (1/(n/2)!)]
V = [πn/2 (1/πn/2)(√πn)(n/2)n(1/e)n (1/(n/2)!)]
V = (n/2)! (1/(n/2)!)
So the radius of a hypersphere with unit volume (V=1) for a large even number of dimensions (the "large" is a restriction that comes from the stirling's approximation) can be approximated as:
r= (1/√π)(√πn)1/n(n/2e)
Notice that if we take the limit as n→∞ that the radius goes to infinity. In other words, as the number of dimensions approaches infinity, the radius must also approach infinity in order for the hypersphere to have unit volume (V=1). Remember, when we kept unit radius earlier (r=1) the volume went to zero as n went to infinity, so it makes sense that to produce a nonzero volume we must increase the radius of the hypersphere as the number of dimensions approaches infinity.
Ok, that's enough for now. I'll see you next week.

This reportedly is the first-ever Calvin Klein Collection commercial to air on television. (Sixty-second version here.) Keep watching — yes, they *are* promoting clothing, accessories, and furniture.
I didn't watch tonight's Golden Globes broadcast, but from what I've seen online of the event's fashion coverage, Calvin Klein's designs were winners, with both Claire Danes and Emma Stone wearing simple, sleek Calvin Klein Collection gowns. Most other actresses' gowns simply looked like they were overdone.

I chose this recipe from the CL Annual Recipes 2007 to make with my mom who is teaching me to cook. We make an "American" version of Beef and Noodles and thought this would be a fun flavor twist. We're from a small town so we had to substitute regular Bok Choy (sliced) for the baby version in the recipe and Grandma's egg noodles for the Chinese egg noodles. It worked out fine however. Also couldn't find Star Anise so proceeded without it. Otherwise followed recipe to the letter and it was delicious and easy with a nice, soft Asian palette of flavors.

Answer the following questions, based on these box plots, on the amount of time boys and girls spend per day on social networking sites.
Approximate the girls' IQR and the boys' IQR.
a) The girls' lower quartile is about 1.25 hr/day and the upper quartile is about 3.5 hr/day.
Girls' IQR = 3.5 – 1.25 = 2.25 hours/day

It started out small. When my son was maybe two or three years old he got his hands on a marker and doodled on his bedroom wall. His dad is an artist, and we're both a little bohemian, so we let the doodle stay. Soon my son drew another doodle, and another, and another. Over the next several years he covered his walls with drawings. He drew rocket ships and space aliens and things I couldn't identify.
Just before his 10th birthday these drawings were painted over. Now my son's walls are simply white (with a blue ceiling above). All I have left are the photographs.
That's a load of crap! If you own the house, you can let the kids draw on the walls if you damn well please. SMDH.
Really adamat34? A Bad parent? For allowing her kid to draw and color on the walls in his room? Judgemental much?
I think that if you're okay with it, and he knows his limits (where he CAN'T draw), it's fine!!!
no because they have to respect things, and they should know that a wall can't get cleaned, they can use all the paper they want and then hang it on the wall, you have the same result but in the mean time you teach your child to respect things
I think it is AWESOME!!!! it is NOT bad parenting. it is allowing them to be creative, and like another said, if they know that is where they can draw and the rest of the house walls are off limit, what is the harm???NONE!!! go for it....those are things and ideas and individuality you will never get back!!
I can't let drawings stay on the walls because we rent. It wouldn't bother me as much if we didn't have a security deposit to earn back.
It's funny how everyone complains about how disrespectful kids are these days, yet when I read comments on this website, parents are straight up admiting that they allow their kids to be disrespectful brats. A few days ago I commented on a story about an incredibly rude child who didn't know how to behave in public and was featured on the Ellen show. Everyone seemed to disagree with me and bascially said it was okay for him to be a rude little brat. Again, the comments on this story prove my point. Kids are disrespectful because parents allow their kids to be disrespectful. Would I let my kid draw on the wall? Absolutely not.

Frank Santoro is a Pittsburgh-based cartoonist. He self-published his first major work, Storeyville in 1995 while living in San Francisco. Upon its republication twelve years later, Tom Spurgeon wrote, "Frank Santoro's Storeyville may be the book of 2007, which is doubly amazing when you realize that it may have been the book of 1995 as well." After spending time in the New York art scene, where he painted and assisted painter, Francesco Clemente, he returned to making comics in the early 2000s with Cold Heat - an unfinished collaboration with Ben Jones. He cofounded the influential comics criticism blog and publication, Comics Comics, with Dan Nadel and Tim Hodler. In 2011, he founded the Santoro Correspondence Course. He writes a weekly comic for tcj.com and runs comicworksbook (currently in the midst of the comicsworkbook Composition Competition 2013). This fall, Picturebox, Inc. will release Santoro's new graphic novel, Pompeii — a historical romance set in the days before the eruption.
This is episode 14 of Boing Boing's Tell Me Something I Don't Know. It's an interview podcast featuring artists, writers, filmmakers, and other creative people discussing their work, ideas, and the reality/business side of how they do what they do.

Ok we're back, sorta. School is a terrible environment for art. And I have a lot of people who can vouch for that XD Anyway, the point is, I won't be working on it at 10 a day. Not for now, anyway. What is going to happen instead, is, I'll be drawing the remaining Pokemon first, then will vector them. After that I'll color them all at one go, and you guys will see the complete collection. About time, I know. It's coming to the end of a school term, after which I have a week to rush up my homework, and of course, the project. Hopefully I can get it up by then.
Anyway due to the new sequence of actions, we'll actually need 3 progress bars to handle this.
Sketched: 644/725 (Reuniclus)
- 89%
Vectored: 600/725 (Seismitoad)
- 83%
Colored (And Complete): 560/725 (Serperior)
- 77%
Hey guys, I'm working on a new Pokemon drawing project with . This project involves the sketching of all 649 Pokemon there is to date. What happens is, I sketch each Pokemon, Aldenlite will vector the outlines, and I'll color them in.
I'll update our progress frequently on this post, so come back and check every few days. We're working at a speed of around 10 everyday, and we plan to finish by early March. That's quite fast considering we started on 30th Nov in the evening.
We have 649 Pokemon to finish, but since we're working on all the different forms (E.g. Unowns have 28 forms, Castform has 4, etc), this brings the number up to 725.
Here's a list of all the additional forms we are going to do:
Unown (A-Z, ! and ?)
Castform (Normal, Sunny, Rainy, Snowy)
Deoxys (Normal, Attack, Defence, Speed)
Burmy and Wormadam (Plant Cloak, Sandy Cloak, Trash Cloak)
Cherrim (Overcast, Sunshine)
Shellos and Gastrodon (West, East)
Rotom (Normal, Heat, Wash, Frost, Fan, Mow)
Giratina (Altered, Origin)
Shaymin (Land, Sky)
Arceus (Normal, Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, Steel)
Basculin (Red-Striped, Blue-Striped)
Darmanitan (Standard, Zen)
Deerling and Sawsbuck (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter)
Meloetta (Aria, Pirouette)
Genesect (Normal, Shock, Burn, Chill, Douse)
Numbers in brackets includes the extra forms we'll be drawing
Generation I: 151/151
- 100%
Generation II: 127/100(+27)
- 100%
Generation III: 141/135(+6)
- 100%
Generation IV: 137/107(+30)
- 100%
Generation V: 4/156(+13)
- 2%
Overall progress: 560/725
- 77%

Posts tagged with 'HM'
MANICURE MUSE: Isabel Marant pour H&M Fall '13
Here's how to get the embroidered jacket without the blood, sweat, tears and cardio… IMxHM Ladyfingers.
MANICURE MUSE: Beyonce for H&M Swim '13
If Queen Bey modeling swimwear isn't enough to envision your next workout or starting a "Single Ladies" flash mob on the beach, I don't know what is… Get the suit and the Ladyfinger right this way… (plus, 25% of sales goes towards WaterAid to help give children in Africa and Asia clean water)
MANICURE MUSE: Maison Martin Margiela for H&M
Fall shopping usually has me overwhelmed. The list of things I want always triples the list of things I actually need (isn't this true for most people?), but I can only hunt down the perfect Fall coat across the infinite internet and retail assortments for so long. I need some direction… something I know I can't resist or live without. Enter H&M's newest collaboration with Maison Martin Margiela. The 100 piece collection features the avant garde brand's most iconic looks and best selling pieces. What am I coveting? Namely the Trompe L'oeil bodysuit, the plexi heeled pumps, this structured duvet coat, and the 2-in-1 dress. This collection is sure to sell out in minutes, so come November 15th… get your game faces on people.
MANICURE MUSE: Acne AW'12
If uttering the words "supersize me" is ever encouraged without judgement, it would be for Acne's Fall '12 collection. Distorted silhouettes and proportion play were the key elements to the collection that featured oversized jean jackets, sweatshirts, parkas and trouser pants. These printed cameo trousers do make a statement with room for digestion, which is important if you're a foodie like me.
To emulate this look, I used Dusty Miller by Priti NYC, Beige by H&M and Got My Groove Back by Ginger+Liz.
To get these ladyfingers:
1. Paint your full nail sea foam green
2. Draw irregular shapes using beige
3. Once dry continue to paint gold irregular shapes slightly overlapping the beige
4. Top it off with top coat
MANICURE MUSE: Preen AW'12
For Fall '12, abstract expressionist art made its way into the Preen collection. The series of looks with the wide brush stroke prints translate perfectly to nail art. Yes, the canvas may be a tid-bit smaller, but the beauty of it all is that we're all artists. Grab your brushes, ladies, and get inspired.
To recreate this look, I used Cotton by American Apparel, Black by Mattese Elite and Brown by H&M Nail Lacquer.
To get these ladyfingers:
1. Start with a white nail
2. Using a black nail art brush, paint a wide brush stroke across your nail
3. Paint over the black brush stroke by layering a brown brush stroke on top allowing a peek of black to show through
(Photo: elle.com)
MANICURE MUSE: Marni for H&M
Ever since the Marni for H&M collaboration was announced, the countdown to March has been painfully slow. Luckily, we're in the homestretch. The collaboration finally hits stores March 8th. The complete lookbook has already gone viral giving us much to look forward to (I'll take one of everything, please). Even better that everything is reasonably priced with most pieces under $100.
I used Urban Purple by Rimmel London, Summer Peach by American Apparel and Stolen Sapphires by Topshop.
To get these Ladyfingers:
1. Paint your full nail a burgundy color
2. Using a dotter tool- I used Orly's Dotter Duo tool (available here)- make two rows of peach dots across the middle of your nail
3. Make a line of vertical dots aligning with a column dots you made on the right side of your nail
4. Clean your dotter tool and start again dotting with dark blue. Create a dotted vertical line on either side of your peach vertical line
5. Clean your tool again and apply more peach dots at the top and bottom of your nail
6. Seal off with top coat and voila!
MANICURE MUSE: Versace for H&M available November 19th
It's Donatella's world and we're just living in it. If you weren't one of the super lucky fashion insiders who attended the extravagant fashion show and after-party headlining Prince and Nicki Minaj, don't fret. Versace for H&M ladyfingers are all you need to add a little glam to your last few days of waiting. The collection hits select stores on November 19th, so I'd suggest breaking in your favorite running shoes in the meantime. Featured in this post: 310 Beach (Revlon), Royal (Love & Beauty available at Forever 21), and Austin-tatious Turquoise (OPI).

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
A random idea that just popped into my head but why is it that the dungeon finder doesn't group similar geared folks in the same instance? I mean I love my rogue and I love dpsing but when I'm doing heroics for valor points to sell boots I don't want to be in the same group as the poor fellow who just hit 85 and got the minimum ilvl to tank. Now if they put 4 overgeared folks and 1 minimum geared person that would be understandable because those 4 could make up the lack of the 1 (often called carrying but it might work). Another possible solution to the recent frustration of the call to arms thing is make a call to arms random just for dps. So like once a day at a random time the call to arms flips from tanks and healers to needing dps.

Schladming, Austria (Sports Network) - Marcel Hirscher skied to his sixth win of the season here tonight in front of 45,000 spectators screaming for him and igniting flares a plenty, blowing horns, and waving red and white flags.
With a total time of 1 minute, 43.01 seconds, Hirscher took home his first career victory in Schladming, just a 30 minute drive from his hometown. He snuck by Stefano Gross by 0.22 seconds. Mario Matt rounded out the podium in third, 0.29 behind Hirscher.
"50,000 honey bees are behind you so you want to go pretty fast," Hirscher said about skiing in Austria. His first run was fast: 50.13 seconds, 0.75 ahead of Mario Matt in spot two.
The weather wasn't helping the other racers catch him; snow continued to fall on the Planai track. But that didn't prevent the course crew from giving the 50,000 spectators what they wanted tonight - The Night Race. Just prior to the first forerunner, World Cup Slalom Champion Marlies Schild skied down, course workers were hosing down the bottom of the track, salting, and slipping. Considering the conditions, Schild said: "I think they did a very good job."
After being disqualified for straddling in the last two slaloms, and controversy surrounding Hirscher's previous victories, the 22-year old was particularly pleased with this hometown win.
"It means a lot to me especially after this," he said, moments after being pronounced the winner. "It's been the hardest time in my career. It's been pretty tough, maybe I made some small mistakes. It's a new situation for me. To have another victory, here, in Schladming. I live 30 minutes by car away from here. I thank everyone from my nation, what a wonderful feeling it is."
Though "boos" were heard for Ivica Kostelic tonight due to a storied week of drama on the circuit, his skiing did the talking - he narrowly missed the podium, just 0.01 behind Matt for fourth. He refused to make any statements tonight about the controversy, and the racers said they have put the drama behind them.
Hirscher said he was happy that he and Kostelic met on Monday and came to some conclusions, respecting each other's opinions. The drama was seemingly suppressed by their actions to talk it out and FIS Chief of Race Gunter Hujara confirming that no straddles occurred in the Zagreb and Adelboden races. Nonetheless, there was still fear by the organizers that snowballs would be directed at Kostelic during the race tonight, but through the mitigation of all parties, no violence occurred.
"The most important thing is that sport brings people together," Hirscher said."...I'm pretty happy that all of the thousands of fans were friendly and nothing happened and thanks so much to all of them."
Gross, with a blazing fast second run at 51.89, put the Italian into second place and gave him his second career podium.
"It's a beautiful moment for me," Gross said. "I skied fast in training. It was not that easy, the conditions were not easy, but today I skied fast."
Matt, who now has a total of four career podiums in Schladming, got his second win of the season. Matt said he was happy with a podium, but disappointed with third just like last weekend in Kitzbuhel where he finished second behind Cristian Deville.
"I was focused on the win today," Matt said. "I made a really good run until the flat part and then I didn't ski like I wanted."
Impressive skiing came from darkhorse Naoki Yuasa with a speedy second run that put pressure on the following competitors. Yuasa watched six top skiers walk past him in the leader box, all giving him high fives. He finally got knocked out, and finished fifth-the best result for a Japanese racer in six seasons.
