YMF Popsicle Stick Bridge Contest
**Save the date for the 2014 Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition!! It will be held on February 8th, 2014. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions. **
The 2014 ASCE YMF Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition
Summary of the 2013 ASCE YMF Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition
The 18th Annual Popsicle Stick Bridge (PSB) Competition took place this year on February 9th and March 16th.
On the first day of testing, 56 teams from 17 different schools across the Puget Sound area participated in the event, hosted by the Seattle ASCE Younger Member Forum (YMF). The Museum of Flight hosted over 130 students as well as teachers, families, community supporters, and volunteers from ASCE YMF. Three corporate teams also competed, including:
- KPFF Consulting Engineers
- Buckland & Taylor – COWI
- Darrel's Drafting & Design
All bridges were constructed using only Popsicle sticks and white glue and were required to meet strict technical specifications. The bridges were scored on efficiency (load carrying capacity / bridge weight), and were also scored on aesthetics. This year there was also a T-shirt design competition. The winning T-shirt design will be featured on the front of the 2014 Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition.
All corporate and unofficial bridges were tested on February 9th and the winning company, Darrel's Drafting & Design, held 742 pounds! Three emcees kept the crowd entertained between bridge testing with fun facts about popsicles, civil engineering, and more! Unfortunately, just before beginning to test the official bridges, the hydraulic press, on loan from Seattle Public Utilities (SPU), broke. While SPU worked to repair their machine, the University of Washington (UW) Department of Civil Engineering stepped in to test the remaining bridges. For those unable to attend the 2nd testing, we videotaped the event and you can find your bridge testing at the link below. Each video is identified by the school name and team number.
On March 16th, the final 25 bridges were tested at the UW structures lab. While aligning each bridge in the press for testing, the students learned more about engineering from the volunteers. Each volunteer described their type of work, discussed example projects and tried to give the students an idea of what engineers do on a daily basis. The overall winning bridge held 2277 pounds and weighed just 0.67 pounds. Prizes were awarded in multiple categories including aesthetics, strength, and teamwork. The official summary of all winners is located below. Congratulations to everyone involved!

John Brown and "Bleeding Kansas"
John Brown and "Bleeding Kansas"
The Free State Party had made the town of Lawrence its headquarters. In May of 1856, hundreds of Border Ruffians marched on Lawrence and sacked the town. When this news reached the ears of the fiery abolitionist John Brown, he decided he had waited more than long enough to take action against the slavers.
John Brown was born in Connecticut and had lived in Ohio and upstate New York before becoming a prominent abolitionist in Pennsylvania. He had worked with the Underground Railroad, and all his life had treated blacks as equals. When the Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed, Brown foresaw that Kansas might become a battleground. He had always believed that only an armed uprising of abolitionists and slaves would bring about emancipation.
On May 23, 1856, Brown led a small group of abolitionists to Pottawatomie Creek, a center of proslavery advocates. Brown and his small army kidnapped five of them and hacked their bodies to pieces. The Pottawatomie Massacre outraged southerners and gave the territory the nickname "Bleeding Kansas." In the Senate, Charles Sumner of Massachusetts delivered a scathing speech blaming the violence on the slavers who had insisted on overturning the Missouri Compromise. Two days later, Congressman Preston Brooks of South Carolina retaliated, accosting Sumner in the Senate chamber and attempting to beat him to death with a cane. This murderous attack polarized Americans still further; many who had been neutral were converted to fervent abolitionists, while voters in Brooks's home district sent him gifts to show their approval.
In Kansas, the Free State Legislature broke up in July 1856, convinced that since the majority of the people were antislavery, the principle of popular sovereignty would eventually make Kansas a free territory and then a free state. This indeed happened. The voters elected abolitionists to the legislature, and Kansas drafted a free-state constitution in 1859.

First up in December, Everton headed to London to face champions Chelsea.
After the 4-1 home reverse to West Brom, David Moyes had called for a response from his players – and they duly delivered.
The Toffees were more than competitive throughout and after they fell behind to a Didier Drogba penalty before half time, they stepped things up even more.
Leighton Baines was outstanding and he helped set-up Jermaine Beckford for a deserved leveller in the last ten minutes.
Fans hoped it would be the turning point but seven days later back at Goodison, frustration set in again. Everton dominated a poor Wigan team but couldn't find a winner and the crowd showed their feelings at the final whistle.
But the ill-feeling was all but forgotten in the next game. Moyes' teams have an excellent record at Manchester City in recent years and the run continued.
Tim Cahill and Baines had the Blues 2-0 up inside 20 minutes and despite a City onslaught and the dismissal of Victor Anichebe, they held on to eventually win 2-1.
The victory was celebrated with equal glee by the players and the travelling supporters who had braved the coldest of nights to watch the drama unfold.
But Everton were denied the chance to build on that win when the Boxing Day clash with Birmingham at Goodison was called off.
Frozen pipes meant the stadium wasn't in a fit condition to host a Premier League game.
So instead, attention turned to the game at West Ham on 28 December. Avram Grant's side had struggled all season but came into the match on the back of a morale boosting away win at Fulham two days previously.
Tony Hibbert, deputising for Phil Jagielka as a makeshift centre half, scored an unfortunate own goal to give the Hammers the lead but Seamus Coleman capped a fine move to equalise before half time.
Everton were the better side in the second period but couldn't find a winner, meaning they ended 2010 in the bottom half of the table.

World Cup Correctly Predicted by Paul the OctopusAn apparently psychic octopus named Paul has correctly predicted the outcome of all of Germany's matches in this World Cup including their recent loss to Spain. What does this have to do with advocacy I hear you ask? Nothing at all – it's just really cool!

YouTube Adds Vuvuzela ButtonThe jokesters at Google/YouTube are at it again. This time, they've added a small soccer ball icon that blurts out the sound that all World Cup followers love to hate, the Vuvuzela horn. When the button is clicked, the audio track of the video changes to the sound of the familiar loud horn .

Whitney Houston is a 5'9" German dude ... at least, if you believe Piers Morgan.
Allow us to explain -- Morgan was talking to LL Cool J about Whitney's life during the July 6th episode of his CNN show and aired some generic footage of the singer to accompany the interview.
Problem is, the woman in the footage isn't Whitney ... and isn't even a woman -- it's a celebrity drag queen named Ikenna Beney Amaechi.
We spoke with Ikenna ... a charming fellow from Berlin ... who tells us, "I was just sitting at home and at first I didn't realize it, but then it hit me like BOOM! It wasn't Whitney … It was me!"
Ikenna tells us he's been "playing" Whitney for 21 years (video below) and the picture used by CNN is from the 2008 Reel Awards Show in Las Vegas -- an event dedicated to celebrity impersonators.
Ikenna adds, "I feel very honored that I was mistaken for the real Whitney Houston on CNN … is there EVEN a bigger compliment for a tribute artist?!"
Probably not.
Harvey can't avoid any news about penis, no matter how stupid they are.
haha, that's hilarious!
No, I'm not going to allow you to explain. I didn't read it. I'm not going to. I don't give a ****.
A celebrity drag queen? Is that like being the head freak at a freak show?
Piers is an ignoramus, which makes CNN the biggest POS "news" network for giving him a show of his own, sort of follows suite though they give that cow Joyce Beher a show too so...
seems legit
CNN's Piers D. Organ strikes again!
WOW! Im'ma white dude who DOESN'T do drag and I think I look more like Whitney Houston than that creature. Egg on your face, Piers! What do u have against Whitney???
CNN still has to work harder at mucking things up before they get as bad as Faux News.
I think drag queens are absolutely fascinating. I met one once who did local shows where I live and outside of his "act" he was a guy ... a bit of an odd guy but a guy all the same. He was completely transformed when he was his drag persona.
Piers Morgan and CNN suck.
Thats great I bet he got a huge ego boost.
What a blunder. They should have known it was not Whitney since he didn't look strung out.
CNN: The king of BS...move over Fox News, you got competition
She looks similar to Whitney I could tell right away it wasn't her.

Design Suggestions for Bedroom with Red Carpet?
Good Questions
Q: I'm moving into an apartment that has red carpeting all over. My bedroom (photos below) is 11 x 8.5 with red carpet and white walls. I have a white full size Aneboda bed from Ikea. I am not sure of what color bedding and window treatments to buy. I have bow windows and two regular sized windows on the opposite sides of the wall. Underneath the bow windows I have an ugly big white heater. There's a lot of light in my room. Please give me some direction on bedding, window treatments, and decorating!

What I would do is head back to IKEA and pick up an inexpensive big area rug and cover up as much as you can of the red rug, and then you're free to do what you want without the restriction of the carpet!
I agree, getting a big rug is a good idea (or a lot of smaller rugs, or perhaps FLOR tiles if you can afford them) and go with that. If you don't mind the red carpet, then there are a few colors that go well with it. gold, grey, white, black, chocolate brown, deep purple, burnt orange, etc.
I would go with a relaxing large scale white and grey print of some kind on the windows and the comforter, then pull in the red of the carpet in throw pillows on the bed. I would go with a fairly limited color scheme to make the carpet seem like it makes sense. As long as you reference the color again you should be fine.
Something like the "Marimekko ® Lehtimaja Mist Bed Linens" at Crate and Barrel might work!
how about a moderate 8 X 10 sisal, rest of furniture black, off white bedding with hot pink and black accents pillows, silver lamps, tray, and frames. Paint the walls swiss coffee.
Is that indoor/outdoor carpeting? Oh my!
You said that this carpeting is "all over" the apartment. So, what are you doing with the rest of the decor?
Large area rugs can get pricey, even at IKEA, and if you don't have the budget, there's hope. And you don't want to "have" to buy something because it's cheap and will almost work. So here is my advice...hope it helps:
You can work with the berry colored carpet by toning the rest of the apartment down with a monochromatic scheme of either whites, warm cremes and chocolate-milk browns or white, cremes and warm grays. This takes the focus off your feet and throws it up to the walls, windows, furniture, art, etc.
Then play up the berry color, because you can't escape it, with some accent pieces here and there in either the same family of colors. The berry colored carpet won't be such an eyesore with a light, but warm, color on the walls, and the combo of cremes, white and grays really add some glam to a space.
As for the bedding, I would keep it tone on tone, no colored pattern to try and bring in the carpet. A throw pillow or two could help marry the carpet to the bed, and art would help balance it all too.
Spend some money on switching out a ceiling fixture with a large drum pendant. Helps in bringing your eye up, rather than down to a "almost matches" area rug that you don't really love, but feel forced to put down.
Lastly, I too have a large white radiator, and I just made a wood plank shelf for it. More surface space for lamps, photos, and your favorite things. Well watered, tropical plants love the warmth of that shelf.
I agree about getting a large rug to cover as much. What about solid sisal rug and then you can do and bedding and window treatments you like. Also, sisal is so versatile you can use it again at your next place.
Pottery Barn makes a nice one and they are on sale
Play up the red by exposing a border with this blue and white small striped and go with all white bedding and maybe some blue and white drapes, think summer beach house, clean and crisp and mix and match patterned pillows on all white bed.
Ikea has two nice solid white duvet cover and pillow cases options.
Then maybe some patterned curtains-
or this pattern for drapes with white bedding and maybe a pillow or two
See KALAH Blue
http://www.calicocorners.com/product/designer fabrics for the home/shop fabrics by color/blue/kalah blue.do?search=basic&keyword=kalah&sortby=priceAscend&page=1
If you don't want all white bedding then something like this -
with simple white curtains.
I'd head to Lowes and buy a big azz carpet remnant in a better color is what I'd do.
The link does not work- go to http://www.calicocorners.com
and see this pattern, I saw this pattern as draperies in this months Lonny Magazine they looked great.
I agree with the suggestion by D A Cooke about the rug. But if you don't opt for that, here are my suggestions:
I was in LOVE with that blue-red for years and I think it looks terrific with Asian-inspired decor. Chinese foo dogs and other porcelain in a blue-and-white scheme make wonderful accessories. On the wall, I hung a glass reverse-painted Emperor painting in blue-reds, blues, and golds.
On the bed were gold silk chinoiserie throw pillows, and in a corner (you can put this in front of a window, the radiator, behind the bed, or wherever), I had an ornate metal screen that I had spray-painted antique gold.
Other accessories that would play up the deep red would be rosewood carvings, such as Buddhas, pagodas, etc. Happy decorating!
I agree w/ Tampabound: Make everything else in the room White and Navy with Red and Gold/Brass accents.
I think I'd stay with white bedding and I'd get some FLOR carpet tiles to coverup some of the rug.
I moved into an apartment with mauve/pink carpeting, tried to work with it, and wish I hadn't, because the things I purchased didn't look good once I moved out and was in a place without a pink rug. I agree with covering it up with sisal or another inexpensive rug. Try homedecorators -- their prices are way lower than pottery barn, and they have a much larger size range. They sell chenille rugs that are cozy and inexpensive.
The rug looks fairly worn; if you think your landlord would be receptive, ask if the rug could be replaced at some point. A friend did that after living in a place for two years, and wishes she hadn't waited so long to ask.
Robin's egg blue or turquoise blue, depending on the white on the walls.
I agree with mlhdrain's suggestion if you are on a budget. home depot, lowes, or a carpet store have huge carpet remnants cheap. much cheaper than pottery barn, overstock.com, or even ikea.
my suggestion: go to Home Depot and purchase carpet remnants. You can get them for significantly less than an area rug, and they act as a "wall-to-wall" area rug. Using a sharp-edged knife, you can notch them into the threshold so it stays in place and virtually "replace" your carpet without violating the terms of your lease.
To help with the look of the carpet, you may want to purchase some rugs for the bedrooms to help with the plain red look of your carpet.

Evans High opened Region 2-AAAA play Friday with a pair of boys and girls basketball wins against Greenbrier.
Evans (9-5, 1-0) immediately took the lead to start the game and never relinquished it, finishing with a 53-42 win.
The Knights finished the first period with a six-point lead, but Greenbrier (5-8, 0-1) closed that gap to four to end the half.
But it was in the second half that it all started to go wrong for the Wolfpack.
Evans High senior Tyler Moore signed a letter of intent Thursday to play at USC Aiken.
"I really liked it there," Moore, 18, said of the campus and facilities at USC Aiken. "I liked the program and what they're about.
"The decision came down to USC Aiken or (Augusta State University), but I just liked them (USC Aiken) more."
With the Pacers, Moore said he likely will switch from his typical role as a middle infielder to the outfield.

While Clemson University and West Virginia fans will be watching the football game during tonight's Orange Bowl, Harlem High School fans will be looking for their band during halftime.
The marching band traveled this weekend to Miami for the Orange Bowl, where the members are set to perform tonight (8 p.m., ESPN) along with other high school bands during the haltime show.
The measurement for athletic success varies from person to person.
For some, nothing less than a championship will suffice, while others might count simply finishing as a personal victory.
Then there are some, like Wil Sanders, for whom just showing up to play means as much as any title.
A seventh-grade player on the Evans Middle School basketball team, Wil suffers from cerebral palsy, a genetic disorder that affects muscle tone and hampers motor skills.
The North Carolina State softball team will get a double dose of the Masters sisters next season.
Lauren Masters, 17, signed a letter of intent last month to play softball for the Wolfpack.
Not long afterward, Ashlyn Masters, 20, earned a spot on the team and will transfer to N.C. State from Northwest Florida State College this year.
It will be the first time the sisters from Evans have played together since serving on the same travel ball team years ago.
A pair of Columbia County teams, including a home team, made it into the finals Thursday of the Robolli's Christmas Tournament at Evans, but neither came away with wins.
Aquinas used a 24-point second quarter to move safely in front during a 57-38 win against Evans in the boys finals of the tournament at Evans High.
"We got stops and we pushed it," Aquinas guard Ruben Garnett said.
According to the Web site 43things.com, these items are the Top 10 New Year's resolutions of 2012:
1. Lose weight
2. Read at least one book each month
3. Keep a note pad of awesome moments
4. Eat, drink, learn or try something new
5. Get enough sleep
6. Set an attainable athletic goal, like running a 5k or 10k
7. Take charge of your own financial life
8. Embrace your personal style and beauty
9. Sing a song at the top of your lungs at least once a week
10. Take time to read
A strong defensive effort led the Evans High boys to victory Tuesday in a final tuneup game against Grovetown prior to the start of region contests.
The Knights won 69-53 in the home game against their county rival.
"Our defense pushed hard tonight," said Evans head basketball coach Kevin Kenny. "We're trying to get more consistency and tonight was a good start toward doing that."
Evans also ruled beneath the boards, scoring at least eight points on offensive rebounds.
Sports in 2011 in Columbia County featured changes in the leadership of the county's Recreation Department and big plans for a new park, along with successes for area teams. Here are the highlights:
• The Columbia County school board was presented with $1,328 raised during the Peach Belt Fall Festival cross country meet held in November 2010 at Blanchard Woods Park. The money was for the school system's middle school sports programs.

Hammock to help your iPhone kick back and relax
I've been dreaming of hammocks and beaches for a while now, but work seems to have taken its toll on me. The iPhone is luckier than me though with this conceptual drawing for an iPod Hammock dock. It comes from the idea to stop the owner's table from rattling when the phone vibrates. There are plans of adding an umbrella that functions as a solar charger as well. It all sounds like a nice and relaxing time for an iPhone. How I envy it and want to go laze around now.

The Korean War is sometimes called the Forgotten War. But those who lost their lives serving in Korea will be remembered forever.
Veterans Memorial Hall was filled today with the memories of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. The local Korean war veterans chapter hosts the ceremony each year.
Warren Ramsey, Chief Master Sergeant of the U.S. Air Force, coordinated the event. He referred to a quote from George Washington: "The young people of this nation or any nation will only determine the greatness of that nation by the way they treat their veterans."
Veterans read off names and rang a bell for each of the 57 Winnebago and Boone county soldiers who were killed during the Korean War.

Rescue on hold for stranded pelican
NEW LONDON -- Rescue efforts are on hold for a lone pelican stranded on a small, frozen lake west of New London.
If the weather warms up and the ice melts, a rescue attempt could still be made.
But despite the best intentions of a rural Willmar couple to summon help Thursday to rescue the juvenile pelican that apparently can't fly, wildlife and law enforcement officials say going out on thin ice now to rescue the bird would put human lives in danger.

PM SentThanks for the reply at last. Hope things will pick up for you soon. I was falling into that category of users (and i haven't installed yet) that was losing faith a little.
I'm still interested in using the product but will have some issues with the hosted solution, i'd appreciate if you can email me so we can discuss options.
I'd love to stay involved with the project as i think it's really good, and i also believe that schools would be willing to pay a little extra if it means that you are better able to handle support, because your prices are extremely low.

"Après-Sex" Hair And Makeup, Backstage At Michael Kors
A warm cheek and wind-blown hair are par for the course backstage at Michael Kors, whose sporty woman has frequently just come in from skiing, sunning, or a safari, as was the case last season. For Fall, she hit the slopes again and had just returned to the lodge for an après-ski cool-down when we caught up with her. "It's an American well-bred couple , and they've just come back to have a little cocktail," Orlando Pita explained. "So she takes her hair back, twists it into a little knot, and puts a bobby pin on the side," the hairdresser continued, displaying a sheet of clips that had been spray-painted alternating shades of matte bronze, black, and white. "It's a little undone," Pita added of the style, using his T3 Elevate Heat-Seeking Volumizing Spray to add a bit of texture, taking extra care not to blow-dry "too much."
"It's more like après-sex," Shiseido artistic director Dick Page interjected, using the brand's forthcoming Lacquer Rouge in Drama, a deep crimson, to coat lips and blend a creamy flush from the apples of models' cheeks all the way down to the jaw, "the way you'd get if you were cold, or hot, or excited," Page explained. Shiseido's Luminizing Satin Face Color in Soft Beam Gold and High Beam White dusted along lids and cheekbones added a transparent glow. "Blush makes everyone look better," the face painter surmised. "It's a very simple way to look and feel glamorous."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I always tend to enjoy the moment when I speak up on Vent for the first time and there's this brief pause as they figure out that Im a girl. Im not so surprised to find other women in MMO's anymore, the social aspect really is a huge draw for most other women, it becomes a bigger surprise to find them in FPS's, RTS's and Fighters.
Male avatar or female avatar?
My girlfriend and I are always kind of having fun with our pair of male characters. No one can figure out why the two male toons that just joined the guild brought a pair of female voices on vent. No one can tell us apart on vent- even though we have very different voices and inflections. We're always getting told to do things each other's characters are capable of.
But the 'uh...' moment is pure gold. I'm sure its funny even when you don't start out with a male avatar.
Female avatar, most of the time, though I am so very fond of my muscly boy orcs. :D There was a case where my male roommate and I were in the same guild, he with a female character and I with a male, and we were confused for each others gender a lot. (No Vent with that group!)
Zandalis - BS said...
I enjoy that myself, being the recruiter.
Having female players in my guild seems to make it a tad calmer. Unfortunately we no longer have any active raiding girls/women, as they have come and gone.
I remember very fondly one player we pugged for some hard mode Ulduar 10s, a mage who came on vent and then started speaking with the softest voice and the guild chat went crazy. To top that off she also displayed presicion and cleverness in both movement and rotations.
To me it adds one very important thing in a guild, diversity. But you need more than just one, or they end up getting overrun. So when I see 40/60 female/male ratios in wow, I have to ask if that is the case in raiding as well, or if they are doing something else.
My boyfriend's character --> blond bloodelf paladin girl
My character --> male tauren druid
When some people realize we are a couple (well because sometimes we control each other's character) they always think that I am the bloodelf female and he is the druid. Kinda get used to it :) He likes to see that small girl swinging a huge axe, and I - well, dont really have other choice in Horde because I think tauren females are very weird. However, if it would be possible, I would change my druid into troll female in a heartbeat.

Ming Dao and Liu Shi Shi previously dated each other?
Although veteran Taiwanese actor Nicky Wu's girlfriend, Liu Shishi, has remained rather scandal-free since her debut in 2005, the Chinese actress was said to have once dated Taiwanese singer Ming Dao, according to online rumours.
The netizen who broke the news even shared the details of their relationship. According to the source, the pair hit off after they started filming for drama series Angel's Happiness in 2011, which sparked off a one-and-a-half year long relationship. They eventually broke up in June 2013.
It was also said that one of the extras on set saw the couple speaking in low voices in a deserted corridor, when filming for the series was about to end. The details of the conversation were suspected to be along the lines of how they were going to maintain their relationship after the filming ends, seeing that they would be in different places. But the discussion did not conclude amiably, and Shishi was seen leaving in a huff.
In July 2012, Ming Dao was seen emerging from a hotel with a long-haired woman, who is speculated to be Shishi. Putting two and two together, netizens' suspicions were affirmed when Ming Dao revealed that he has been out of love for half a year, at his album release Lovelorn Aesthetics last month, which coincided with the time he supposedly broke up with Shishi. The actress got together with her new love Nicky Wu last November.
In Ming Dao's album, a particular song called 'I suddenly Want to Love Her' was said to depict his relationship with Shishi. The music video for this song depicted two actors who fell in love after they filmed a drama together. A source from his production team also revealed that the storyline of the music video is based on his experiences.

Originally written January 11, 2013 on Mets360.com:
Major League Baseball officially announced their choices for the Hall of Fame. Well, actually, they didn't announce anyone this year. The big controversy is that baseball writers did not elect a single player for baseball's highest honor. While I understand the dilemma they faced with names like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, there are others who were equally worthy that were passed over for suspicion of PED's. Names like Curt Schilling, Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio and, of course, our beloved Mike Piazza. The news isn't all bad for Piazza however. He is coming out with a book soon that will deny his involvement with the steroid era. That, in and of itself could boost him over the top this time next year. Until then, the New York Mets have another option for Queens favorite catcher of the last decade. It seems that the Mets Hall of Fame Committee will be meeting before Spring Training to decide on any inductees into the Mets HOF honor. Piazza has a solid chance of making that c...

The last sweet years or bad romance? Handling infidelity in the nursing home
Ulf suffers dementia and lives in a nursing home. He often interacts with Lena, who also has dementia. They seek each other out, invite each other to their rooms, hold hands and kiss. They can clearly express what they prefer (or not). The staff think they enjoy life and each others company. There is just one problem for the happy couple: Ulf is married, and his wife is not happy. She and their children strongly dislikes the relation between Ulf and Lena and asks the staff to keep them apart. They argue that if Ulf had been free of dementia he would not have desired contact with Lena; he might sometimes even be confused and think Lena is his wife.
