TEAMS: Toronto Raptors, Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland Trail Blazers
Andrea Bargnani was the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2006 and has not developed into the franchise player the Toronto Raptors hoped he would become. The team has had one winning season since he was drafted, and they actually started winning this season after he got hurt. Though he is talented, one of his big problems seems to be his mental toughness. Sam Mitchell coached the Raptors four and a half seasons and led the team to the playoffs twice. He was the team's coach when Bargnani was drafted, and he says he wasn't able to coach the Italian player the way he would have liked. During an appearance on "Tim & Sid" on the Fan 590 in Toronto, Mitchell says the organization coddled Bargnani. "I would say my biggest problem with Andrea is I wasn't allowed to coach Andrea the way I was allowed to coach Jose (Calderon). I was a hard ass on Jose. I was hard on him," said Mitchell, "but look at the type of player he turned out to be." Calderon was drafted by the team the year before, a...

In an interview with Grist's David Roberts, climate hawk Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA) attacked Republicans who have prevented the federal government from setting limits on carbon pollution and letting market competition play out in the energy sector. "Good, all-American, red-blooded capitalists should let the market work," he said, but "the GOP has abandoned all logic when it comes to the third law of thermodynamics." (To be pedantic, Inslee probably meant to refer to the second law.)

According to the will of fate
I have come...
I emerge from the flood
A living soul.
My memory is torn by the night.
The night is enshrouded with darkness.
I wander around the world
Searching for a meaning...
I want to drink a toast to happiness...
Here I am gulping the toast to death.
I cry....Is there any survival?
I hear no response...
But the hot winds caressing the grass of silent graves...
And the world plunging into illusion and vanity...
Do you remember the mad rain,
And the wood of the vessel hanging on the summit?
O intoxicated land,
That is burdened with jealous desires,
Bless, and have pity on my soul
For lo! I never enter the place of secrets
Nor lift the cover
On the earth's burial...
My body is prey...
Time is a hunter chasing me
Whilst traps are set for me....
I flee...
I flee with terror and fear...
My footsteps are slowing,
Wearing out with the race
And the veiled fate engraves on my face
With the edge of a corroded spike...
I wander alone in the land of Delmon
The land of eternity
Calling the aged-young man....
The earth cleaves,
And the serpent emerges
Devouring the plant...
Whilst the dream of eternity turns out to be plumes of smoke
Climbing the unknown of the silent wall....
Rest, you, the butterfly soul
And ease me of my burden which galls my back..!
Nectar dried out of the roses of fortune..
Whilst death gazes at the butterflies...
The dinghy of desire sails on fire
No water
No shore
And the claws of lust shred the soul
My life is but a womb of a virgin
Delivering a mount.
You are so harsh and mean...!
I receive you for my sorrows
And my perishing...
I gulp the bitterness of my grief
Thereby planting a forest of thorns in my mouth.
I walk on a path of pain
Chasing a dream...
Threads of smoke....
I grow older and so do the dream and sorrow
At the end of the long path of misery
I surrender unto you
Reposing in your womb....!

Seattle's Former Police Chief Speaks Out Against Police Brutality
In recent weeks, incidents of lethal police violence against unarmed young black men have occurred in cities across the country, not just Ferguson. But in Ferguson more than anywhere, police doubled down on their role as a hostile occupying force in the community, showing off theirmassive collection of military-grade equipment and weaponry in a crude (and so far unsuccessful) attempt to intimidate the local population it purports to serve. This isn't the first time a local police force has turned an American city into something resembling a war zone in the name of civilian crowd control…. Read More »
"We Have Become the Kurdish Air Force" — Former State Department Official Matthew Hoh Makes the Case For Non-Intervention in Iraq
Matthew Hoh is a former Marine who served two tours in Iraq before being stationed in Afghanistan as a high-ranking foreign service officer. In 2009, Hoh resigned in protest from the State Department over the U.S.' misguided occupation of Afghanistan. Leighton Woodhouse, who interviewed Hoh, writes for Capital & Main. Note: This interview was conducted before the Obama administration announced that it would not send in ground troops to evacuate refugees on Mount Sinjar. You've written that sending U.S. troops back into Iraq, bombing the Islamic State, or otherwise engaging militarily in Iraq's civil war… Read More »
Fear for the First: Is Activist Speech Terrorism?
On Monday, the Center for Constitutional Rights filed a request to the U.S. Supreme Court for judicial review of Blum v.

The brainchild of the American Legislative Exchange Council, the AETA was crafted as a direct response to the extraordinary… Read More »
Alone and Afraid: Refugee Children Face Deportation Without Legal Representation
Isabel Mejia was 17 years old when she arrived in the United States from El Salvador, having fled her home country for reasons even the most hardened immigration opponent might have trouble dismissing. Some local gang members had decided to conscript her as the "gang's girlfriend" — to force her into a life of sexual slavery. At home, the situation was no better: She had been a victim of domestic sexual violence. Faced with rape, death or flight, she chose to flee.

Boycott Angora
This post originally appeared in The Huffington Post and Alternet. It would be dishonest of me to say that I recommend watching PETA Asia's video exposing the barbaric methods employed by Chinese laborers in the manufacture of angora fabrics. Even by the standards of animal cruelty investigative videos, PETA Asia's footage is hard to watch.

Steve King's Farm Bill Amendment Hurts Animals — and California Farmers
This article was first published as an op-ed in The Hill. Iowa Congressman Steve King is an interesting kind of conservative. Last year, when a seemingly non-controversial amendment was attached to the 2012 Farm Bill making it a federal crime to attend or to bring a minor to an organized animal fighting event, King strenuously objected, lashing out at those who seek to "elevate animals above humans." Later, in the face of criticism for his apparent support of criminal dogfighting and cockfighting rings, he tried to explain himself by arguing that enactment and enforcement of… Read More »

A time-domain reflectometer (TDR) is an electronic instrument that uses time-domain reflectometry to characterize and locate faults in metallic cables (for example, twisted pair wire or coaxial cable).[1] It can also be used to locate discontinuities in a connector, printed circuit board, or any other electrical path. The equivalent device for optical fiber is an optical time-domain reflectometer.
A TDR transmits a short rise time pulse along the conductor. If the conductor is of a uniform impedance and is properly terminated, the entire transmitted pulse will be absorbed by the far-end termination and no signal will be reflected toward the TDR. Any impedance discontinuities will cause some of the incident signal to be sent back towards the source. This is similar in principle to radar.
Increases in the impedance create a reflection that reinforces the original pulse whilst decreases in the impedance create a reflection that opposes the original pulse.
The resulting reflected pulse measured at the output/input to the TDR is displayed or plotted as a function of time and, because the speed of signal propagation is almost constant for a given transmission medium, can be read as a function of cable length.
Because of its sensitivity to impedance variations, a TDR may be used to verify cable impedance characteristics, splice and connector locations and associated losses, and estimate cable lengths.
These traces were produced by a time-domain reflectometer made from common lab equipment connected to approximately 100 feet of 50 ohm coaxial cable. The propagation velocity of this cable is approximately 66% of the speed of light in a vacuum.
Consider the case where the far end of the cable is shorted (that is, terminated into zero ohms impedance). When the rising edge of the pulse is launched down the cable, the voltage at the launching point "steps up" to a given value instantly and the pulse begins propagating down the cable towards the short. When the pulse hits the short, no energy is absorbed at the far end. Instead, an opposing pulse reflects back from the short towards the launching end. It is only when this opposing reflection finally reaches the launch point that the voltage at this launching point abruptly drops back to zero, signalling the fact that there is a short at the end of the cable. That is, the TDR had no indication that there is a short at the end of the cable until its emitted pulse can travel down the cable at roughly the speed of light and the echo can return up the cable at the same speed. It is only after this round-trip delay that the short can be perceived by the TDR. Assuming that one knows the signal propagation speed in the particular cable-under-test, then in this way, the distance to the short can be measured.
A similar effect occurs if the far end of the cable is an open circuit (terminated into an infinite impedance). In this case, though, the reflection from the far end is polarized identically with the original pulse and adds to it rather than cancelling it out. So after a round-trip delay, the voltage at the TDR abruptly jumps to twice the originally-applied voltage.
Note that a theoretical perfect termination at the far end of the cable would entirely absorb the applied pulse without causing any reflection. In this case, it would be impossible to determine the actual length of the cable. Luckily, perfect terminations are very rare and some small reflection is nearly always caused.
The magnitude of the reflection is referred to as the reflection coefficient or ρ. The coefficient ranges from 1 (open circuit) to -1 (short circuit). The value of zero means that there is no reflection. The reflection coefficient is calculated as follows:
Where Zo is defined as the characteristic impedance of the transmission medium and Zt is the impedance of the termination at the far end of the transmission line.
Any discontinuity can be viewed as a termination impedance and substituted as Zt. This includes abrupt changes in the characteristic impedance. As an example, a trace width on a printed circuit board doubled at its midsection would constitute a discontinuity. Some of the energy will be reflected back to the driving source; the remaining energy will be transmitted. This is also known as a scattering junction.
Time domain reflectometers are commonly used for in-place testing of very long cable runs, where it is impractical to dig up or remove what may be a kilometers-long cable. They are indispensable for preventive maintenance of telecommunication lines, as TDRs can detect resistance on joints and connectors as they corrode, and increasing insulation leakage as it degrades and absorbs moisture, long before either leads to catastrophic failures. Using a TDR, it is possible to pinpoint a fault to within centimetres.
TDRs are also very useful tools for technical surveillance counter-measures, where they help determine the existence and location of wire taps. The slight change in line impedance caused by the introduction of a tap or splice will show up on the screen of a TDR when connected to a phone line.
TDR equipment is also an essential tool in the failure analysis of modern high-frequency printed circuit boards with signal traces crafted to emulate transmission lines. By observing reflections, any unsoldered pins of a ball grid array device can be detected. Short circuited pins can also be detected in a similar fashion.
The TDR principle is used in industrial settings, in situations as diverse as the testing of integrated circuit packages to measuring liquid levels. In the former, the time domain reflectometer is used to isolate failing sites in the same. The latter is primarily limited to the process industry.
In a TDR-based level measurement device, the device generates an impulse that propagates down a thin waveguide (referred to as a probe) – typically a metal rod or a steel cable. When this impulse hits the surface of the medium to be measured, part of the impulse reflects back up the waveguide. The device determines the fluid level by measuring the time difference between when the impulse was sent and when the reflection returned. The sensors can output the analyzed level as a continuous analog signal or switch output signals. In TDR technology, the impulse velocity is primarily affected by the permittivity of the medium through which the pulse propagates, which can vary greatly by the moisture content and temperature of the medium. In many cases, this effect can be corrected without undue difficulty. In some cases, such as in boiling and/or high temperature environments, the correction can be difficult. In particular, determining the froth (foam) height and the collapsed liquid level in a frothy / boiling medium can be very difficult.
The Dam Safety Interest Group of CEA Technologies, Inc. (CEATI), a consortium of electrical power organizations, has applied Spread-spectrum time-domain reflectometry to identify potential faults in concrete dam anchor cables. The key benefit of Time Domain reflectometry over other testing methods is the non-destructive method of these tests.[2]
A TDR is used to determine moisture content in soil and porous media. Over the last two decades, substantial advances have been made measuring moisture in soil, grain, food stuff, and sediment. The key to TDR's success is its ability to accurately determine the permittivity (dielectric constant) of a material from wave propagation, due to the strong relationship between the permittivity of a material and its water content, as demonstrated in the pioneering works of Hoekstra and Delaney (1974) and Topp et al. (1980). Recent reviews and reference work on the subject include, Topp and Reynolds (1998), Noborio (2001), Pettinellia et al. (2002), Topp and Ferre (2002) and Robinson et al. (2003). The TDR method is a transmission line technique, and determines apparent permittivity (Ka) from the travel time of an electromagnetic wave that propagates along a transmission line, usually two or more parallel metal rods embedded in soil or sediment. The probes are typically between 10 and 30 cm long and connected to the TDR via coaxial cable.
Time domain reflectometry has also been utilized to monitor slope movement in a variety of geotechnical settings including highway cuts, rail beds, and open pit mines (Dowding & O'Connor, 1984, 2000a, 2000b; Kane & Beck, 1999). In stability monitoring applications using TDR, a coaxial cable is installed in a vertical borehole passing through the region of concern. The electrical impedance at any point along a coaxial cable changes with deformation of the insulator between the conductors. A brittle grout surrounds the cable to translate earth movement into an abrupt cable deformation that shows up as a detectable peak in the reflectance trace. Until recently, the technique was relatively insensitive to small slope movements and could not be automated because it relied on human detection of changes in the reflectance trace over time. Farrington and Sargand (2004) developed a simple signal processing technique using numerical derivatives to extract reliable indications of slope movement from the TDR data much earlier than by conventional interpretation.
Another application of TDRs in geotechnical engineering is to determine the soil moisture content. This can done by placing the TDRs in different soil layers and measurement of the time of start of precipitation and the time that TDR indicate an increase in the soil moisture content. The depth of the TDR (d) is a known factor and the other is the time it takes the drop of water to reach that depth (t); therefore the speed of water Infiltration (hydrology) (v) can be determined. This is a good method to assess the effectiveness of Best Management Practices (BMPs) in reducing stormwater Surface runoff.
Time domain reflectometry is used in semiconductor failure analysis as a non-destructive method for the location of defects in semiconductor device packages. The TDR provides an electrical signature of individual conductive traces in the device package, and is useful for determining the location of opens and shorts.
Time domain reflectometry, specifically spread-spectrum time-domain reflectometry is used on aviation wiring for both preventative maintenance and fault location.[3] Spread spectrum time domain reflectometry has the advantage of precisely locating the fault location within thousands of miles of aviation wiring. Additionally, this technology is worth considering for real time aviation monitoring, as spread spectrum reflectometry can be employed on live wires.
This method has been shown to be useful to locating intermittent electrical faults.[4]

The Bush Administration will announce today that a Silicon Valley entrepreneur has been tapped to run the nation's defenses against cyberattacks and other cyber-related vulnerabilities, reports The Wall Street Journal and washingtonpost.com.
Rod Beckström—best known for developing the TWiki.net, an internal networking tool for businesses— will run the National Cyber Security Center, which sprang from a national security directive signed by President Bush in January. The NCSC will be part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Beckström will report directly to DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff.
The Center, WSJ reports, will first work to protect the government's information networks from unauthorized intrusions by spies, terrorists, and hackers and then use that knowledge to help protect private networks as well. Over the past year and a half, the U.S. government has experienced multiple cyberattacks against networks at the departments of State, Commerce, Defense, and Homeland Security, according to another story on washingtonpost.com.
The appointment strikes both news outlets as an unlikely choice for Washington. Beckström is neither a DC insider nor a cybersecurity expert. His allure may come from ideas he advocated in a book he coauthored called "The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations." The book's thesis argues that networked organizational structures with many nodes, flexible and fluid heirarchies, and no clear leadership are more resilient than top-down organizational structures with concrete hierarchies found throughout government and business today.
Washingtonpost.com explains using the book's analogy:
Following this analogy, user-driven, starfish-like organizations distribute decision-making among all members. If parts of the organization are crushed, the whole survives and recovers, just as a starfish regenerates an arm if it is severed. In contrast, the book posits, industry and government are more akin to "spider" organizations that function within a centralized structure, with the leader calling the shots. One solid blow to the head cripples or kills a spider.
While noting Beckström's unique qualifications, WSJ implies Beckström's knowledge of decentralized networked structures made him the ideal choice for the position after the U.S. underestimated the threat of al Qaeda, insurgents, and hackers, which employ networked organizational structures successfully. The paper says his book has a "quiet following in U.S. military and intelligence circles" and that Michael McConnell, the director of national intelligence, pushed for his appointment.
Another reason for Beckström's appointment may be his credibility within the private sector. WSJ said he will act as an ambassador to the private sector, which has become wary of government interference in their computer networks even if the stated goal is to protect them. The private sector, says the paper, fears participating in any government initiative after the telecommunications industry faces lawsuits for allegedly participating in the National Security Agency's warrantless wiretapping program.

Stuffed Swiss Chard
Posted By Linda Capeloto Sendowski On October 24, 2012 @ 9:12 PM In Cookbook,Fresh Produce,Meat,Rice,Sephardic,Side Dish,Vegetable | 1 Comment
Swiss chard is so beautiful as to be inspiring. The rainbow colored stalks of super bright colors with broad dark green leaves make me think about eating them in a healthy frenzy. Since Swiss chard is a bit on the bitter side, rice with beef as a filling and a slightly sweet sauce make the perfect contrast and taste combination.
Nona rolled all kind of green leafy things into Yaprakes or Dolmas or Yalanjis and then, stewed them until tender so you could easily bite into the tasting fillings of rice or rice and meat combinations. You may eat them cold or hot. [1]
Servings: 8 first course servings (2 each)
1 large bunch of red or rainbow Swiss chard, 16 or more large leaves (pick one with large perfect leaves)
2 tablespoons safflower oil
1 large onion, diced small
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 pounds ground beef
1/ 2 cup long grain white rice
1 large onion diced small
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/ 2 cup quartered prunes or black figs
14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Carefully wash and dry leaves. Remove the long colored stems, dice them and set them aside in a bowl to use in the sauce.
Heat a 12 inch skillet or fry pan on medium-high heat. Add oil and diced onion. Sauté onion until translucent. Next, season with salt and pepper and add parsley. Stir vegetables, turn up heat to high, and add ground beef. Sauté beef until cooked through and crumbly and then add rice. Add 1 cup of water and cover. Let meat and rice steam through until all water is absorbed. Remove filling from heat and let it cool until ready to use.
Heat a very heavy bottom Dutch oven on medium heat. Add diced chard stalks, diced onion and parsley. Sauté until translucent, season with salt and pepper turn off heat and begin to fill Swiss chard leaves.
Spread out each leaf, scoop several tablespoons of filling from bowl and place at the stem base of the leaf. Start rolling, fold in sides and then continue to roll all the way up. Place each chard roll in bottom of Dutch oven on top of sautéed onions and chard. Finish rolling and place all rolls in pan. Add prunes, diced tomatoes and lemon juice. Place cover on Dutch oven turn on heat to medium until it starts to bubble, and then, turn down heat to low and let simmer for one and one half to two hours. Serve [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

Bolt Technology Corporation Stock Downgraded (BOLT)
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 14.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 38.5%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- BOLT has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 6.00, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Energy Equipment & Services industry and the overall market, BOLT TECHNOLOGY CORP's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- BOLT has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 11.24% from its price level of one year ago. Looking ahead, other than the push or pull of the broad market, we do not see anything in the company's numbers that may help reverse the decline experienced over the past 12 months. Despite the past decline, the stock is still selling for more than most others in its industry.

I can't guey understand guey your accent guey.
puerto-rico-preys replied to your post: "Hey there!" -waving-
[steps inside, and grins] "How have you been?!"
[pulls her in for a big fat cheek kiss]
[shhhhh gotta do what a latino gotta do]
"Pretty good, thanks. How's your ankle doing?"
"As long as everything is okay…"
She releases him and walks around him, "It has healed enough that I can walk, just can't dance on it. Not without physical therapy."
Yeah, you don't need to worry about me. I've been around for a good amount of years, so-so days aren't going to do much to me.
[he grins then focusing on her ankle before glancing up]
Well it's a good thing we are what we are. I'm sure with a couple of sessions you'll be back to dancing all over again.
[he gestures to his couch]
C'mon sit down, there's no need to strain it when you don't need to.

Lindita! -waves back-
Come in, nena.
It's the first lines uttered to every Mexican newborn. It's the last lines a Mexican says before he dies. It's a motto that, as Mexican, my people and I follow. No nos hacemos wey.
((Actually… 'no te haces wey' is is an distinctly Mexican slang phrase. 'Wey' is actually a common misspelling of the the word 'güey'. The meaning can range depending on the context, from 'dude' to 'jackass'. In the phrase 'no te haces wey' it means don't be a jackass, or 'don't be ignorant'. It's a play on the phrase itself.
Sorry if I didn't explain it correctly, some phrases are a bit difficult to translate. ;;))
puerto-rico-preys replied to your post: [hugs eddie from behind] "Haven't seen you in a while. Hey there."
"Happy Palm Sunday." she grins. "how have you been?"
Thanks. I've been better. [lets out a tired sigh]
And what about you?
She tilts her head, "Something wrong?'
"And, i'm healing still."
It's not anything of significance. I just have had better days, you know?
[his eyebrows arch, before turning around to glance at her ankle]
Shouldn't you be sitting down? Or resting?
puerto-rico-preys replied to your post: [hugs eddie from behind] "Haven't seen you in a while. Hey there."
"Happy Palm Sunday." she grins. "how have you been?"
Thanks. I've been better. [lets out a tired sigh]
And what about you?
[turns to the side, a smile clear on his face when he realizes it's her]
"Long time no see. Or talk. Happy Palm Sunday Mari."
"Dia duit" Ruaidhri greeted he mexican, he didn't recognize him but he knew he was a nation.
Raising an eyebrow he nodded, not quite understanding what the other said, assuming it to be a greeting. "What brings you here, sir?" He replied.

I always loved playing with material when I was young, but it wasn't until the age of 16 when I started learning how to sew. Over time, my older sister and my sister-in-law made sure I was taught how to quilt. Now I sew, quilt, knit, crochet, scrapbook, and cross stitch whenever I get the chance!!

Ribeye the Fish -- once known as "The Snarkiest Fish in the Z" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the situation tell us ... one of the TMZ staffers found Ribeye floating in his tank ... unresponsive to various taps on the glass.
The fish -- only a few months old -- was given a burial at sea ... via the toilet in the men's bathroom.
Harvey Levin released a statement saying, "He was a good fish ... he will be missed."
Harvey's asst. Tyler adds, "Not much of a swimmer though." R.I.P.
Nancy Grace's fart claims a life....poor fishy!!
Damn! I liked Ribeye. He was the only really good thing left at TMZ. RIP Ribeye
I had a beta for over 4 years! What did you do to him?
I suppose the next fish will be called Porter House?!
What is it with you freakin PETA hippies? My GOD! It's a freakin BETTA!! They can live for years in a damn shotglass! You want proof? I have them all over my house in everything from juice glasses to bowls to vases to even one in an empty liquer bottle. They can live in ANYTHING. They don't require a lot of space and the reason for that is in the wild they are extremely territorial, and fight to the death if two males come near each other. Which is why they don't travel far in the wild. They stay in one little tiny space to themselves....no bigger than a cerial bowl of space. And that's in the wild. You don't need a heater if they are kept in a normal room temp. environment. They don't need a light if they are kept in a normally lit room. Even then, I have two wall bowls mounted in my freakin bathroom and they've been alive for YEARS! Mostly in the DARK. They can die from anything. I've had one die of a heart attack because it's bowl was too close to another one's and it puffed up at the sight of another male and went into cardiac arrest. Another little tidbit of knowledge for you. The biggest most beautiful bettas with full fins you find in pet shops are usually the older breeding fish that the breeders are replacing with new younger ones and by the time you get them, they're already old and only live a few more months anyway. Otherwise getting a young fish wont have as pretty fins. It's just a $2.00 fish people. Nobody shot Lassie. Damn! Go get another one.
SERIOUSLY??? Four pages and no "it happens in 3s" jokes??? TMZ community you have let me down!!! So, here goes, "First it was Jobs, now Ribeye . . . can someone confirm the whereabouts of Keith Richards???"
Any hint of fowl play? Propanol or such?
Rumor has it that he drowned! Rest peacefully little buddy!
TMZ = Retarded.
I just want to know if anyone did mouth to mouth on Ribeye?
Speaking of floating on top of the bowl, that seems to be tmz's fate too. So lame and stupid. Harv must be the oldest slacker in the world. Grow up!
could have one of the TMZ staffers slipped ribeye some propofol?
Will you be sitting Shiva?
bye bye ribeye,
you didn't have to die.
did someone feed you a potato chip?
or didja see Nancy's nipple slip?
did your bowl of water
finally go bad?
or were you being tended to
by Dr. Conrad?

For the 18-month period ending 30th June 2011
Issued on 5th July 2011 by the National Climate Centre
Rainfall across much of southern Australia continued below average during June 2011. The largest areas of below average rainfall were in the southeast of the mainland, and in the southwest. Much of Tasmania, central and southern parts of the NT, southeastern WA and northeastern NSW experienced above average rainfall.
For the 18-month period from January 2010 to June 2011, rainfall deficiencies remain in place through much of southwestern WA. Despite some rain at the end of the month, below average total rainfall during June 2011, over much of the southwest region, has extended and added to deficiencies. Areas of rainfall deficiency are very similar to those reported in the previous drought statement, with a large area of lowest on record rainfall covering much of the southwest corner, and severe deficiencies over most areas southwest of a Geraldton-Esperance line, except near the south coast from Albany eastwards. To relieve serious deficiencies in most areas in southwest WA, i.e. just to get out of the "serious deficiency" (lowest 10%) category, rainfall for the next three months will have to be in the "above average" to "very much above average" category.
After the very wet March, rainfall in southeastern Australia has been below average, and especially so in June. This continues a trend in recent decades of unusually dry mid-autumn to early-winter conditions to recur in most years (for example Victoria has experienced below average April-June rainfall in 10 of the last 11 years). This is a topic of active research, and climate scientists will be closely monitoring rainfall in this region.
For more information on dry periods over Australia and extreme rain events see the Special Climate Statements issued by the Bureau of Meteorology.

Note: The terms used to describe rainfall in these Drought Statements have the following meanings -
Serious deficiency
- rainfalls in the lowest 10% of historical totals,
but not in the lowest 5%
Severe deficiency - rainfalls in the lowest 5% of historical totals
Lowest on record - lowest since at least 1900 when the data analysed begin
Very much below average
- rainfalls in the lowest 10% of historical totals
Below average - rainfalls in the lowest 30% of historical totals, but not in the lowest 10%
Average - rainfalls in the middle 40% of historical totals
Above average - rainfalls in the highest 30% of historical totals, but not in the highest 10%
Very much above average - rainfalls in the highest 10% of historical totals

Karl Braganza on (03) 9669 4344
The Bureau of Meteorology does not make formal drought declarations as these are done by either the relevant State Governments or by the Australian Government. The Australian Government Program is called Exceptional Circumstances and it is administered by the Federal Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF).

I can't tell you how much I've been enjoying reading The Suits of James Bond. I'm not a Bond nut by any means (if you want to target me, try The Suits of James Brown) but the blog is chock-full of fascinating information. Not only does Matt Spaiser break down specific Bond outfits, he does it with a well-informed eye for men's tailoring. I always learn something reading his posts. It's a blog that's about the what, but also the why. I wish more menswear blogs had actual content.

Use this to emphasize cultural diversity - your students will learn about scientists from all over the world – both male and female. I send this home as a research assignment but it can be done in class if you have internet access. I have my students share their knowledge with the class and then we create a bulletin board (photo included). You can have your students pick a scientist or you can assign them a scientist. Possible scientists included. I did this with my second graders last year as a part of our cultural diversity curriculum - they had a great time learning about their individual scientist and they loved presenting their info to the class!! You can pick up this freebie by clicking here or on any of the photos below.

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)- Grade K
Has your state adopted the new Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)? Or are you at a private school and your school has adopted the new standards? I just put the set of NGSS "I CAN" posters up for sale at my TpT store (click here). I have each poster laminated & I display them on one of my bulletin boards. I keep the black & white copies in my lesson planning binder. Included in this set are the 13 Kindergarten standards (in color as well as in black & white) along with the 3 grades K-2 engineering standards. If you would like a set, just leave me your email below & I'll send out copies to 2 random people!
If you're looking for Kindergarten NGSS resources, these are the ones I use with my students - all are available at my TpT store, just click the pics below!

Colonizing Mars STEM Challenge
Do you know that NASA has plans for a manned mission to Mars by the 2030s & Mars One plans to establish a human settlement on Mars in 2023??!! Over 200,000 people have signed up for a one-way ticket to Mars!! I was amazed when I heard about this and right away I designed a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) lesson called "Colonizing Mars". My 4th graders surpassed all my expectations with this STEM project - I am soooo proud of them!! I challenged them to create a Martian colony that would include everything we would need if we landed on Mars tomorrow.
I began the unit by addressing misconceptions using the anchor chart below:
Then we used an iPad augmented reality app called Aurasma - this is such a fun way to present new info/ review facts!! I made up a worksheet and I attached every picture on the worksheet to a short video about Mars.
I began the unit by addressing misconceptions using the anchor chart below:
We used pink stickies for misconceptions (Mars has liquid water, Mars is our neighbor so it must be a short trip away, etc.)
As we went through facts, we added green stickies to represent our facts:
Then we used an iPad augmented reality app called Aurasma - this is such a fun way to present new info/ review facts!! I made up a worksheet and I attached every picture on the worksheet to a short video about Mars.
Next, I had my students brainstorm - what would you need if you were to live on Mars? There is no food, liquid water, or oxygen there!! It's cold on Mars! There is not a lot of gravity! The answers ran the gamut from the necessary structures such as a hospital, food store, habitats; to the unnecessary but fun malls, movie theaters, arcades. We narrowed it down to the absolute essentials and then everyone started discussing their ideas with their partner. Designs were drawn and labeled and then it was time to start building.
We followed the Engineering Design Process:
My students were soooo excited to start building their prototypes using recycled materials. I keep a huge 42 gallon contractors garbage bag in one of my school closets and throughout the year, I'm constantly filling it with things people would normally throw away but that I see as building components: toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, plastic cake covers, milk cartons, cereal boxes, etc. My kids were so excited to turn this "trash" into structures. We set some design parameters - the structures couldn't be too big, the perimeters had to be <297 centimeters (approx. the size of 3 pieces of paper). The structure also had to hold the weight of 3 humans, represented by a bag of pennies with a mass of 150 g.
I love doing STEM challenges with my students - it's really a time for them to SHINE!! What are your favorite STEM activities? I would love to hear about them. To everyone that has finished the school year: Happy Summer!!!

NGSS standard: BIOMIMICRY
I am teaching the Grade 1 NGSS biomimicry standard this week & I can't wait to see what my students come up with when we do the Mystery Box challenge!
This is my FAVORITE first grade NGSS standard – biomimicry: using nature to inspire design. Nature has perfected so many things- want to walk up a wall? Mimic gecko feet. Swim faster? Mimic shark skin. Assess damage after an earthquake? Send in tiny drones that mimic one of the most efficient flyers – dragonflies! Invention inspired by nature – the possibilities are endless! I created this packet to help my students start to look at nature in a different way – using its perfection in design to solve human problems. That's what biomimicry is and that's what NGSS:1-LS1-1 standard is all about. This is a really creative standard and I LOVE encouraging kids to be creative in their scientific thinking. Our nation's future scientists and engineers are sitting in our classrooms – let's encourage, challenge, and empower them!!
The whole lesson can be found on TpT. If you would like me to send you a copy for free, just leave me your email below. I'll send it out to two random winners! Happy Memorial Day weekend!

Mentos & Diet Coke
What happens when you add Mentos candy to Diet Coke?
Amazing 20 foot geyser!
How does this happen? Carbon dioxide is pumped into soda and it wants OUT, as you can see/hear anytime you open a new bottle of soda -that hissing sound is the CO2 escaping. A piece of Mentos candy has microscopic pits all over it. These are called nucleation sites - places where CO2bubbles can grab onto. A ton of CO2 bubbles will form all over each Mentos candy as they sink to the bottom (we put in 8 candies) . The bubbles seed more bubbles as they rise & soon there is a raging foam in the bottle - pressure builds & the result is a huge geyser! Almost all of the soda comes shooting out of the bottle! I do this every year with my students & I never get tired of the looks on their faces - priceless! I use this experiment to teach the scientific method: making observations, asking questions, making hypotheses, recording data, making conclusions.
Using this tube has made it much easier for me to get out of the way before the geyser erupts:
There are so many questions you can address in this activity/ so many ways to change the variables, here are some of the questions I've investigated with my kids:
Does it work with fruit Mentos? (yes)
Does it work with Sprite? (yes)
Does it work with soda that has been sealed but left in my science closet for a year? (no!)
Does it work with Life Savers? (no!)
I like to have my students write down 2 variables they would like to change and then I choose a couple of the experiments to try each year.
I also use this experiment to teach solids (Mentos), liquid (soda), gas (carbon dioxide) - fun fun fun & educational too!
Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Blubber Glove
I asked my kindergarteners if they liked being in the ocean when it's really cold - they all answered a resounding NO! So then I asked them - what do you think it feels like to be a beluga or a polar bear? A mammal that swims in the freezing cold Arctic Ocean? How can they possibly keep warm? Blubber!
Here's the blubber glove we made out of Crisco vegetable shortening:
We put our hands in ice water with & without the blubber glove - everyone was amazed to feel the difference! Our hands were so much warmer in the blubber glove! We looked at some slides I made up of mammals with blubber:
I just put the whole lesson up on TpT. I'll send it to the first 2 names below, just leave me your email!

So far, Hyundai has been the only automaker in the U.S. to accept early trade-ins under the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS), or Cash-for-Clunkers (CFC), program. Most are waiting for the U.S. Department of Transportation to finalize the program's rules and regulations by July 24th, but Hyundai decided to start early since the program covers all transactions dating back to July 1st. Since the government hasn't set up a reimbursement process for the rebates that range from $3,500 to $4,500 just yet, Hyundai is floating its participating dealers short-term loans in the meantime.
After just one week of accepting Cash-for-Clunkers trade-ins, Hyundai has revealed that these deals added up to 7 percent of its overall sales and could reach 10 percent by month's end. The most interesting statistics, however, are what's being traded in. While Hyundai doesn't break it down by model, according to its numbers, 32 percent were Ford vehicles, 23 percent Dodge and the rest were from Lexus, Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Keep in mind, all these customers are trading in for a Hyundai, and 41 percent chose the Elantra! The Sonata came in second with 29 percent of CFC sales and the Accent third with 16 percent.
Judging by this early report on how the CFC program affects sales, it will be very interesting to see what happens after the hammer drops on July 24th and all automakers begin participating. The effect on July sales will likely be small, so we'll have to wait until the end of August to see if Cash-for-Clunkers has really made a difference. For Hyundai, however, it already has.
[Source: Hyundai]
Hyundai Elantra Accounts for 41 Percent of CARS Deals; Ford Tops List of Clunkers, Comprising 32 Percent of Trade-ins
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., July 10, 2009; Hyundai became the first automaker to honor the government's "Car Allowance Rebate System" (CARS) incentives on July 2 and the novel consumer incentive program, also known as "cash for clunkers," accounted for seven percent of Hyundai sales in its first week. Nearly a third (32 percent) of the trade-in models reported by dealerships were Ford vehicles, followed by Dodge (23 percent). Lexus, Jaguar, and Mercedes-Benz are among the other brands delivered as "clunker" trades, demonstrating both the broad appeal of the government program, and the changing nature of Hyundai's product line and buyer demographics. Hyundai's rollout enables buyers to receive the full rebate allocated under the CARS program (also known as "cash for clunkers") when an eligible trade-in is exchanged for a qualifying Hyundai model at a participating Hyundai dealership.
The fuel-efficient Hyundai Elantra was the most popular model purchased under the CARS program, making up 41 percent of sales. Elantra recently earned top honors in the 2009 J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study for the highest initial quality in the compact car segment, and is a "Top Pick" from Consumer Reports. With manufacturer incentives and a full CARS rebate for a qualifying "clunker," consumers can purchase a new Elantra for as little as $8,620. Sonata (29 percent) and Accent (16 percent) ranked second and third, respectively, in CARS transactions in the opening week.
"The early response we're seeing demonstrates the CARS program is working, with inefficient gas guzzlers being traded-in for fuel-efficient Hyundai models," said John Krafcik, president and CEO, Hyundai Motor America. "We expect overall sales from this program to grow as consumer awareness increases - it should surpass ten percent of our retail sales this month."
Hyundai is the first automaker to extend the government incentive to consumers, accelerating its implementation by several weeks by backing dealerships with short-term cash advances as the government organizes the rollout of the program industry-wide. Under the CARS program, consumers qualify for a $4,500 rebate on the purchase or lease of new vehicles that achieve 10 miles per gallon more than a trade-in car or five miles per gallon or more than a trade-in light truck. New vehicles that achieve between 4 to 9 mpg more than a trade-in car, or 2 to 4 mpg more than a trade-in light truck qualify for a $3,500 incentive. See www.cars.gov for complete details.
Thirteen Hyundai models and engine combinations qualify for the CARS incentive program, which requires passenger cars achieve 22 mpg or more combined fuel economy, and light trucks achieve 18 mpg or better combined fuel economy.
-- Accent
-- Elantra
-- Elantra Touring
-- Entourage
-- Sonata 2.4L
-- Sonata 3.3L
-- 2010 Genesis Coupe 2.0L
-- Tiburon 2.0L
-- Tucson 2.0L
-- Tucson 2.7L
-- Santa Fe 2.7L
-- Santa Fe 3.3L
-- Veracruz
Five Hyundai models achieve 30 miles per gallon or more on the highway -Accent, Elantra, Elantra Touring, Genesis Coupe 2.0L and Sonata 2.4L. Hyundai ranks third in corporate average fuel economy according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, so consumers will realize further cost savings by stepping into a more fuel-efficient model than they currently drive.
The CARS incentive program complements all existing special incentives and financing options from the manufacturer, including Hyundai Assurance, which allows consumers to return their vehicle if they unexpectedly lose their income, and Hyundai Assurance Gas Lock, which offers a year's worth of gas at a guaranteed price of $1.49 per gallon.

Are the Newest Facebook Features Imitating Google+?
Being the king of the castle may be a great position to hold, but you may lose sight of why you're king. You're loved by just about everyone; even those who hate you pretend to like you. But what do you do if a prince in another castle starts to build their kingdom better than yours? Copy their ideas of course!
It seems Google+ is doing things right, causing another twist in the Google+ vs. Facebook debate. So much so, that Facebook is adopting their competitor's ideas and features.

Honestly, Do Collagen Supplements Work?
People hear and read about collagen and its regenerative abilities, how it improves skin elasticity, and even that it helps with weight loss.
Of course, after learning about all the things that it does, it's natural to ask why and how do collagen supplements work. This is especially true amongst people who have only just learned about the benefits of supplements or have recently started supplementation.
To find out how and if it works, we will take a deeper look at the products in detail. We will look at the different types that are available in supplements, how it works in weight loss, and its benefits for the skin as a whole.
There are three types and each is beneficial in its own unique way.
This type is the best absorbed because it is also the lightest. It is also the closest in its make-up to human collagen, which makes it an excellent oral supplement for both regeneration and to prevent the signs of aging.
This is the densest type, which makes it difficult to be absorbed if taken as an oral supplement. However, it is excellent for creams because the skin easily absorbs it. If paired with the marine type, the appearance of the skin can improve quite noticeably.
This is the type that is the most similar to skin collagen, but is generally only effective when taken as an injection. This is the type that celebrities have made famous, however treatments are expensive and do not provide any permanent effects and numerous rounds of injections are needed to maintain appearance.
In short, the question of, "Do collagen supplements work?" can be answered with a firm yes. The only trick to the use of supplements is being sure that the right supplements are being taken for the desired effects.
Now that we have the basics out of the way, it's time to discuss the weight loss benefits of supplements.
Supplements do work to help with weight loss, and are certainly much more healthy than jumping on and off of fad diets that can cause adverse reactions which sometime result in rebounding back to the old weight and maybe a little extra.
To begin with how it helps; our bodies have a large amount of collagen because it's essential in the regulation and sustenance of our cells. Its used to replicate and regenerate cells, and repair the tissues of tendons, tissues in joints, and skin.
This process is how supplements help with weight loss. All of this creating, regenerating, and process of maintaining healthy tissues uses energy, and the creation of that energy expends fat, thus playing a role in weight loss.
So, do collagen supplements work?
Yes they do. However, the supplements need to be taken appropriately and the right form of the supplement needs to be used for it to be effective.
If taken correctly, supplements will help the body resist the signs of aging, help with maintaining joint tissue health, and even providing weight loss benefits.

"Hairspray" the musical is a high-energy story of love, teenagers, stereotypes and acceptance. Cardinals for the Appreciation of Musical Theatre performs their own version of the show this week featuring an all-student cast. But Spencer Scruggs, who plays Edna Turnblad, says their group is not made up only of theatre majors. Their eclectic cast draws from all over campus.
Jackie Provenzano becomes Tracy Turnblad for the show. Tracy is a large girl with big hair and a kind heart, has only one passion--to dance. She wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show" and is quickly transformed into a teen celebrity. She then successfully sets out to vanquish the program's reigning princess, win the heart of the super handsome Link Larkin, and racially integrate the television show.
Cast members include Hannah Boyle (Penny Pingleton), Adam Byrd (Seaweed), Katie Kiefer (Nicest kid), Oby Igwe (Dynamo), Wayne Hogue (Nicest kid), Alex Betts (Dynamo) and producer Sarah Clark.

Midfielder dishes out final 'Out of the Blue' Season Ticket.
Tim Cahill
Evertonian Danny Critchley knows he made a good decision when he headed out in his trusty blue jacket on Friday morning.
Hours later Danny, 32, of Crosby, became the sixth and final Everton supporter to be surprised 'Out of the Blue'.
Midfielder Tim Cahill was circling the city centre in a 'Stand Together' Everton-branded taxi on the look out for a fan when he spotted the club crest on Danny's back as he was withdrawing cash from an ATM near Liverpool Central Station.
As our free video above shows, the Australian promptly leapt into action and gave the unsuspecting Toffee the surprise of his life.
"I was just stood at the bank and heard this commotion going on behind me. I turn around and there's the legend that is Tim Cahill just stood there behind me!" said Danny. "I was so shocked. I didn't know what was happening."
Tim then handed over a 2012/13 Season Ticket as a thank you to Danny for being a Blue.
"I was happy just to see Tim but when he gave me the Season Ticket as well, I didn't know what to say," added the lucky recipient. "It's amazing. It tells everyone why this is the People's Club."
Cahill followed Marouane Fellaini, Leon Osman, Phil Jagielka, Seamus Coleman and Phil Neville in heading out and about to surprise a fan 'Out of the Blue' as part of the 2012/13 Stand Together Season Ticket campaign.
Each player gave away a free Season Ticket and a signed shirt and the aerially-astute 32-year-old said he was honoured to get involved.
"I've been here eight years and this is one of the best things I've done," he told evertontv. "It was priceless to see Danny's face and his reaction.
"We care about the fans. You try to do as much as you can and, for me, to have this interaction off the park is really important. I've been a proud Blue for many years now but this has made me even more proud."
Almost 20,000 Everton fans took advantage of discounted Season Ticket prices during this year's Early Bird window, meaning the total number of supporters signed up for the 2012/13 campaign is well above that at the same stage in 2011.
"It's fantastic," added Cahill. "And this kind of thing helps. The players want to be proactive and they want to get the fans involved and make them feel special. I think these sort of moments make them feel special."
Time is running out for Evertonians wanting to guarantee their seat for next season.
Existing Season Ticket holders have until midnight on Sunday, May 13 to secure their current seats for the 2012/13 campaign.
For more information, to renew or to buy a Season Ticket and join Danny at Goodison Park next term, click here.

What I learned from Ranelle today
Working with Ranelle King, the new owner of American Quilt Retailer, has been educational for me since day one! And my most recent lesson was how to use bloglovin.' Unbeknownst to me the blog world was up in arms when Google reader ceased earlier this summer. I had looked into using Google reader several years ago, but being slow to catch on to new ways and feeling comfortable with my old ways — well — I'm afraid I didn't catch on to the benefits.
As Ranelle patiently explained that now people were jumping to bloglovin' as a replacement for Google reader and while she was at it she patiently explained how Google reader worked, and how bloglovin' works and the benefits of using bloglovin'.
Okay so now I'm hooked! It is easy and efficient to use and I'm lovin' bloglovin' — and I guess this is the whole idea!
Go to www.bloglovin.com and set up an account. Then in the upper right hand corner of your home page you can search for all your favorite blogs and mark each with "follow." Create special groups for your interests and you can sort your blogs by category: business, style trends, quilts, embroidery or even cooking and decorating. Whatever works for you.
At the end of each day you will get an e-mail with the lead in to all the new blog posts on the blogs you follow. Click on those you want to read, at your leisure, whenever you want to read them. Mark them as read or keep them in a list down the right-hand side. You can then search for a specific blog and read all the entries for that blog — again whenever you want to read them.
Here are just a few of my favorites:
Retail Adventures in the REAL World
Be certain to "follow" this "Missing Pieces" blog — you don't want to miss a post! — Susan
PS — Two new blog hops just started — a great way to add some great designer blogs to your bloglovin' page:
Moda Fabrics, Moda Cutting Table "Size Matters"
Clothworks, The Works "Everything Blue"

Germany Paralysed as Cruising Sailors Await RescueSomali pirate .While the German Government fiddles with its constitutional questions and political wrangling, its world reputation is probably burning as three of its citizen cruising sailors, including a child and a diabetic who needs insulin, remain hostage in a camp in Somaliland.
Reports are conflicting from the lawless area, but a local elder who has been negotiating with the pirates, who apparently abandoned the captured yacht Rockall on the shore, says they are now claiming $2 Million dollars in ransom.
Germany is paralysed, so there seems no imminent action for the rescue of the Rockall's crew, which also includes one French national, or the 15 crew of a German flagged ship which was captured several weeks ago.
If you're anywhere near Melbourne, get along to the Melbourne Boat Show, started already, and if you're up Sydney way and you'd like to look at some nifty 'pre-loved' sailing boats, Bavaria is having an Open Day on 12th July in Pittwater.
Read how that great weekly radio broadcast, the 'Sailors Radio Show', is coming to a station near you - now you'll be able to listen easier, and on a Sunday morning, just before you go sailing!
Over in a remote Aur atoll in the already remote Marshall Islands, some other cruising sailors were very lucky this week, when, after wrecking their boat on the atoll entrance, they were saved by a passing Russian/Israeli media magnate in his superyacht.
Another lucky sailor is the solo yachtie off Perth with no steering, no engine and rigging problems who had to be located not once but twice before being towed to Fremantle. He was also saved in similar circumstances a couple of years ago - he'd have to be running out of luck some time soon.
Then there's the couple of irresponsible sailors who managed to jam Channel 16 in the English Channel for so long the coastguard had to send a helicopter to tell them to shut up - they'll be lucky not to cop a penalty, if the English can find a suitable charge.
Talking of luck, or rather making your own, this week we bring you thirteen top tips for climbing your mast.

The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) has named Johns Hopkins Community Physicians (JHCP) a winner of its eighth annual Cheers Awards. According to ISMP, the award is given each year to organizations that "have set a superlative standard of excellence for others to follow in the prevention of medication errors and adverse drug events."
"We are delighted to have the opportunity to share our experience and expertise in error prevention strategies with a large, national audience," said Joan Kramer, Ph.D., R.N., C.I., and staff development manager for JHCP. "The program initiatives we have developed can be easily adopted into similar medical practices.
