An Inspirational Note
In late April Robert Swan spent a few weeks in Hong Kong where he had the opportunity to engage with students at the Hong Kong Academy. At the Academy, Robert presented for three different age groups: Early Childhood, Upper Primary and Secondary Students. Here Robert highlighted the importance of our youth's role in the environment and discussed how the application of clean renewable energy can be used to better the environment. Robert's visit inspired one particular Secondary student, Lucus Eliot, to develop a plan of action on his own: supporting Robert Swan and 2041's mission. Jennifer Eliot, Director of the Hong Kong Academy said, "Lucus invited his guests to make a donation to 2041 if they wished to participate. Additionally, Lucus contributed his own money earmarked for charitable donations."
A big thank you to Lucus and his peers for the ongoing support!

Terri Jane is one of Britains newest glamour models, and is gaining in popularity for 2 very good reasons. Have a look at the Terri Jane picture below, click on it to see the whole gallery, and you'll see what I mean.
This picture set was sent to me with the proclaimation that it was "Terri Jane's First Full Frontal Picture Set". Well call me old fashioned but seeing as she's not actually starkers and parading her clackalackadackdack for the whole world to see – I think their claim is unfounded. Anyway I know plenty of you like her, and will appreciate the gallery. You can see more of Terri Jane and a bunch of other UK glamour models at Brooke Lee Playmates.

Within Temptation was formed in 1996 in the Netherlands. The band consists of singer Sharon den Adel, guitarists Ruud Jolie and Stefan Helleblad, bassist Jeroen van Veen, drummer Mike Coolen and keyboardist Martijn Spierenburg. Robert Westerholt was one of the founders of the band and was their guitarists until 2011; he is now only a studio member. The band has released five albums so far and are currently working on their sixth album, which will be released sometime during 2013.
All I Need is from their fourth album, The Heart of Everything, which was released in 2007. The song is a power-ballad with symphonic influences. Sharon den Adel's voice is truly amazing, which she displays very well in this song. Sharon den Adel explained what the lyrics are about in an interview -
"It's about the fact that [everybody], you know, everybody gets this point in life… And that is what the song is about; that you're trying to hold on to the things that are important, that you try to find something that you can believe in and which is worth living, if it's family or the love of your life or (laugh) things that make your life worth [living]." (Source: Wikipedia)
I will hopefully be able to see them this summer at the Getaway Rock Festival together with other bands, such as System of a Down and In Flames!

Student Challenge: Real World Design
The annual Real World Design Challenge asks high school students to work on real world engineering challenges in a collaborative environment. Each year, student teams address a challenge that confronts one of our nation's leading industries. This year's Challenge: design of an aircraft wing that provides better operational performance and improved fuel efficiency. This experience provides the students with the background and framework for competing effectively in a 21st century workforce through an innovative partnership involving government, private industry and education.

Focus on "Telework"
"Telework", or telecommuting, involves working remotely from locations other than a central workplace. Employers worldwide have used telework to reduce business costs and improve productivity, while employees who telework reduce expenses and increase the 'work-life' balance. Transportation industry professionals say telework has the potential to reduce congestion and add environmental benefits.
The Road to Reform
Record Funding for Local Road, Bridge Projects
Governor Deval Patrick signed a bill to provide cities and towns a record $200 million in state Chapter 90 funds this year to rebuild and repair local roads and bridges. This allocation, approved by the Legislature, represents a 29% increase in Chapter 90 funding compared to last year, providing a significant investment that will create construction jobs, improve transportation and public safety and encourage long-term economic development.
Each city and town will receive an increase in Chapter 90 funding for the fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2011 compared to the previous year, with funds allocated using a longstanding formula based upon community road miles, population and employment. This investment represents a $45 million increase over 2010 and continues the Patrick-Murray Administration's legacy of investing in the Commonwealth's aging infrastructure.
Chapter 90 funds approved by the Legislature may be used for road, bridge and multi-use path projects and related needs.
View a complete list of awards, broken down by community.
The Patrick-Murray Administration continues to build on a legacy of record investments in transportation infrastructure. In FY 2010, nearly 400 road and bridge projects totaling an unprecedented $965 million put thousands of people to work on road and bridge projects in every corner of the Commonwealth, funded by the Statewide Road and Bridge Program, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and the Patrick-Murray Administration's historic Accelerated Bridge Program to repair structurally-deficient bridges. In FY 2011, another record $1.2 billion will fund state road and bridge projects, more than double the investment in FY 2007.
Route 9 Resurfacing Project Continues
The $12.5 million Route 9 Resurfacing Project has resumed, funded by the federal stimulus American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) as part of Governor Deval Patrick's Massachusetts recovery plan. The project includes resurfacing of approximately 7.8 miles of Route 9 from Walnut Street in Natick to the Framingham/Southborough line. The work also includes the ramps at Route 27 in Natick and Route 126 in Framingham. The project began in 2010 and will be completed by June 2011.
Beginning this month, the contractor is cleaning catch basins and drainage pipes throughout the project, seen at left. Other work includes completion of sidewalks and wheel chair ramps, curbing, guard rail, and signs. Milling work on Route 126 over Route 9 is expected to begin in late April.
Overnight lane closures Sunday-Friday, 8pm-5am, will be posted at various locations throughout the corridor as work continues. Visit the Route 9 Resurfacing Project web page for the latest information.
Where's the Train? Check "Rail Radio"
The MBTA and the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Company announced the launch of an updated "Rail Radio" service. "Rail Radio" provides real-time information about the status of approaching trains on car radios. It is now integrated with commuter rail's Passenger Train Information System, a computerized system that links real-time information from approaching trains to LED monitors at stations.
"The integration of Rail Radio and PTIS delivers real-time information directly from approaching trains to customers' cars," said MBTA General Manager Richard Davey. "This service gives commuter rail customers more accurate information about when their train will arrive."
The low wattage AM radio service is currently available at more than 80 MBTA commuter rail stations with over 50 parking spaces in Eastern Massachusetts. Customers should check LED monitors at their local stations for the "Rail Radio" frequency in their area.
MassDOT May Public Meeting
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation Board of Directors will hold its next regular public business meeting on Wednesday, May 4, 1:00pm, MBTA Board Room, Suite 3910, State Transportation Building, Boston.
The MBTA Board will meet first at 1pm, followed by the MassDOT Board. All meetings are open to the public.
The meeting schedule is available on the MassDOT website.

blast from the past!
just heard from my FIRST Neuroscience mentor from summer camp 2007 for the first time in a few years!
Just touching base and hearing that he's proud of what I am accomplishing and what my goals have become is so gratifying and makes me want to both jump up and down and get a little teary-eyed.
His journey with his father's Parkinson's mirrored my own in so many ways, and that summer really inspired me to go forth and pursue research as a tangible and real career path. He planted the ideas of the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience and looking to research as soon as I could, and in a way instilled the values of good, conscientious understanding of Neuroscience as well as research methods that have stuck with me even to this day.
I am so glad that I have such great mentors, both in my past and in my present. and that in reality, they have never really left me. :]

Report: Drunk passenger forces flight diversion to Phoenix
PHOENIX -- A drunk passenger reportedly caused an American Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Miami to be diverted to Phoenix on Tuesday.
According to NBC Miami, the 28-year-old passenger was part of a wedding party.
While on the flight, the man had a few too many drinks and got into a confrontation with another passenger who was traveling with his family, officials said.
After he refused to cooperate with flight crew demands, the plane was diverted to Phoenix. He was removed from the flight about 11:30 p.m.
The plane continued to Miami where it landed safely.
No charges were pressed, so the unruly passenger was booked on a later flight.

Are people starting to trust brands and corporations more than governments?
Technology has reconfigured the mechanics of the traditional business landscape, changing what we buy and how we pay for it. Peer-to-peer systems like AirBnB and TaskRabbit encourage people to swap, share and rent amongst themselves rather than buy from stores. Concurrent with the growth in collaborative consumption is the emergence of a new understanding of 'money'. The limits of traditional monetary units are being tested against a backdrop of financial uncertainty, currency volatility and technological progress. People are coming to realise that their data, everyday activities and social chatter are alternative forms of value and payment. Slowly, we're seeing new micro- and crypto-economies being forged that aren't necessarily based on a traditional understanding of cash.
Surveys such as the Edelman Trust barometer suggest that there is a global weakening of trust in institutions and governments, If people are starting to trust businesses and brands more than their civic leaders, should we be questioning whether governments need to be in sole charge of money any more? In 1860 there were 1600 varieties of currency in America. Are brands hoping that history will start repeating itself? In a digital age, are loyalty programs becoming new forms of currency? Will people start to demand commodities (products and services) from brands in exchange for access to their personal data and consumption patterns? Are mobile phone credits more useful to modern consumers than loose change from a shopkeeper?

Jul 28 2013: Hi Fritzie. You are right; there was a huge controversy a couple of years ago when BA changed its airmiles scheme into a new service called Avios. People who had been loyal to BA in the air and who had been diligently accruing points by purchashing goods at accredited retailers were suddenly faced with the prospect of paying hundreds of pounds in taxes and charges. See article here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2011/sep/09/angry-flyers-airmiles-avios
One of the points I made in my TED U talk is that the balance of power is shifting: people know that the data they hold as consumers (their purchasing habits, quantified exercise patterns, social media influence, etc) means that they don't necessarily need to receive rewards purely via purchases; in an age of targeted advertising they can now acquire goods and services in exchange for sharing their data with marketers.

House Tour: Seonna's Hillside Modern
Los Angeles
Name: Seonna Hong
Location: Mt. Washington
Size: 926 sq. feet
Years lived in: A little over a year
Finding Seonna's hillside Mt. Washington home was an adventure in itself, with more twists and turns than a spy thriller novel. Clinging to a dramatic hillside, the post and beam residence expresses its pedigree with a variety of original midcentury architectural details, all complimenting its most impressive feature: an expansive hillside view of Pasadena and the Angeles Forest. The home is comfortably decorated with both modern and vintage pieces, warmly accentuated by the obvious presence of Seonna's daughter's playthings and artwork (we love her doorway sign to please "nock" before entering). Additional art from various artist friends give each wall not only visual interest, but colourfully highlight the home and our hostesses' friendly character..
AT Survey:
My/Our style: Modern toy box
Inspiration: Art and my daughter
Favorite Element: I fell in love with the view.
Biggest Challenge: There is very little storage (except in my large creepy basement).
What Friends Say: They want to live in my daughter's room.
Biggest Embarrassment: My clothes storage challenges belie my penchant for clothing and retail therapy more than the afore mentioned issues of physical space.
Proudest DIY: This isn't as much a project per se, but my proudest DIY moment was when I got my first power drill.
Biggest Indulgence: My home is on a hillside and the stairs to the backyard and the backyard itself are a little precarious. My daughter loves playing down there and so I put in a fence so she wouldn't tumble down the hill. While it absolutely serves it's purpose, it is also reaaaaaally pretty and it impacted my choice (and the pocketbook). This is also how I go grocery shopping btw.
Best advice: To work within my means.
Dream source: Mr. Pink in NYC: Sadly they've closed but they had the most amazing collection of vintage housewares and small furniture. Tinlark gallery in L.A.: Cris McCall has an amazing eye and I have collected many of the treasures in my home from her gallery.
Appliances: The kitchen was already done when I moved in. All I added was the stainless penny round backsplash.
Furniture: Rose Bowl Swap Meet, DWR, the super-amazing-crazy-deal-gettin' Modernica sales, Modern Seed, IKEA...
Appliances: I'm lucky. A lot of the original appliances, lighting, and hardware were in my home when I moved in.
Accessories: Mr. Pink, my talented friends, my daughter's school projects
Lighting: Mr. Pink, DWR...
Rugs and Carpets: Anthropologie, IKEA
Beds: Modernica, IKEA
Artwork: Tinlark, my friends and my daughter.
Paint: Classic Color in South Pasadena. They carry low VOC paints and their knowledgeable and friendly staff can custom mix colors.
Flooring: The bamboo flooring was in when I moved in!
(Thanks, Seonna!)

I'm looking for a bench exactly like the one pictured in your entryway in pics 3 & 4. Where did you get it?
Love the turquoise door! Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous home! May I ask how old your daughter is? I think I'd like to move my son into a loft-style bed to open up space.
Love all the drawings of your daughter. Beautiful place.
I remember when this house was for sale. I'm glad to see it went to someone with great taste!
Oh, how charming! The quintessential laid-back California house.
awesome! are the little horses on the wall decals?
the bench is ikea molger
thanks threesquare - i guess i should have been able to guess that.
love the use of color throughout!
does anyone know if the dining room modernica eiffel chairs are "chiffon" or "celery"-colored?
hi - love your home! what is the print that is over the china cabinet?
I want to move in. What a gorgeous house! It looks like the kind of house I would have if my husband didn't get a say in the decorating.
Question: What is the black and white print in your entry way? (The one with the two white blocks).
It is really stunning and I want to know if it was done by one of your friends or if there was a possibility that I might get a copy.
PS. Your Murakami in the bedroom is cute.
Please give me that bird picture above the hutch.
So beautiful! You should have entered the color contest!
How do you find the quality of the Urban Outfitters side tables by your sofa? I've been considering buying one of those, but I'm wary about the quality of their furniture.
I love, love, love the door! I love the colors of in your home!
I'm a fan of your art, and I enjoyed seeing your home! I particularly like the yellow wall.
Love the colours and the mix of classic and modern furniture.
this happy home made my day. so real and so do-able. such inspiration, thank you. any hints on where to find that great basic dining room table?
I really like this cheerful home. It reminds me that, although there is some chatter about mid-century furniture having become ubiquitous or cliche, we can be grateful that these are perhaps new classics that bring charm and good design to many homes. I can't get enough of the George Nelson lamps, mostly because they give terrific glows to a room! Danish furniture is simple, attractive, and allows personal objects which fill them to shine.
What a happy home! This looks like a great Fall Colors entry!
i love love love the two prints above the china cabinet & above your daughter's bed!!! Were they done by friends? Thank you for sharing! You have a lovely home!
that dining room table is so elegant that for a second there I wondered how it was supported: couldn't spot the legs... perfect with the chairs... GLORIOUS home... happy place... really inspiring
Wonderful, glorious blue door. One must just feel great walking through it to what appears to be a happy home. Thanks for sharing.
That was very enjoyable, what a lovely home.
Hi! Thanks for all the lovely compliments.
The prints above the China cabinet and my daughter's bed were done by living legend, David Weidman in the 1950s and 60s. He's a true inspiration. You can find prints and posters here: http://www.weidmansart.com/index.html.
Not sure about the Eiffel chairs... I looked on Modernica's site and neither Chiffon or Celery looked like the yellow that my chairs are. I can describe them though as a very lemony yellow.
The horses in my entryway were done by the amazing artist, Ann Wood: http://annwood.net/blog/category/horses/. She also creates magic with pirate ships, birds and the like.
The Urban Outfitters side tables are fine... but I've had issues of wobbliness with some of their other stuff... but that may have had more to do with my poor assembling abilities...
And the black and white piece of artwork is a map that one of my favorite artists, Ed Ruscha drew... it's a long funny story, but it ends with me receiving the map at the end of the day, immediately going to get it framed and treasuring
The 70's decor reminds me of creepy school camps and old church halls.
What fun! Proves that 1) you can have a beautiful home and actually live in it, 2) DIY is not tacky by definition. Well done.
I like this as it's a welcome departure from the MCM places that feel like time-warp museums.
wow! i've actually been a fan of seonna hong for awhile now, ever since her work caught my eye in a magazine a few years ago. her house captures the spirit of her work so well -- cute, feminine without being too girly, humorous, modern. at least, that's the way i see it.
someone please ban ally stone now.
The art work is so, so well placed and so great - is anyone in your house the artist?
this question may have already been answered but I love your coffee table, where did you get it? Thanks sooo much.
ps: I love the feel of your home!
I love your dining table; where is it from?
Your home is beautiful in every way.
I'm a fan of Seonna Hong's artwork and what a treat it is to see how she's decorated her own home.
this house is a cross between a classroom and the brady bunch set.
I have to say, I too am in love with the daughter's room. It is so whimsical and I love the color on the walls and the orange sconces and all the little animals :)
<3 the home
<3 the view
<3 the artwork!!!
yay for korean american women!!!
Am I the only one getting sick of faithful midcentury? Mix it up a little...
Love your house, this is one of my favorite house tours ever!
The first picture blew me away, I have been searching high and low for the perfect sideboard/hutch combination for my MCM dining room. You have it! I'm sure it's vintage, but where did you get it? And do you know the maker or name of the line? Thanks so much!
Ignore the haters, who wants to live in a Crate and Barrel catalog?
This place looks like fun--midcentury works really well with kids and we are transitioning over to it...(now I could scream at some of my old pieces that I got rid of years ago--cast offs from my inlaws)...anyway, I feel a sudden uncontrollable urge to run out and buy 8 Eiffel chairs....can't decide on which colour though....
That's a great looking house. Love all the artwork and toys, too.
Very fun house you are very creative. I am sad by the painted ceiling though. Maybe it was done before you moved in.
Those beams and planks are harder and harder to come by and for those who are mid-century buffs they are truely iconic. Painted though they lose all their character and charm.
I don't feel the same about painting the wood walls, usually, as is the case here, it is an improvement.
I am a big fan of Seonna Hong's artwork so it isn't a big surprise that her house is lovely and a mix of old/new influences. Totally cozy and charming.
I don't know how I missed this when it was first posted, but I'm glad to see it now (AT's year-end retrospectives do serve a purpose!).
I think Palmetto's comment above sums up my feelings: I like this as it's a welcome departure from the MCM places that feel like time-warp museums.
This looks like a marriage between house and human rather than an enforced occupation by the latter -- she respects and delights in the house's architectural heritage; the house reciprocates by providing a perfect backdrop to her contemporary take on its mid-century aesthetic. The result is... love! And a genuine, liveable home as opposed to a Disney-esque timewarp into MCM Fantasyland.
I especially love the exposed wood in the bedroom, the loads of playful, original art, and the fusion of affordable furniture with high-end designer pieces. Kudos all around. Now, when can I visit?
This is delicious!! Love it.
Those lamps are making me pant and drool. They are SO SO FAB.
Those lamps are to die for! I love the way you decorated, love the MCM! Awesome job. I have been debating buying those Urban Outfitter night/end tables, i think you convinced me!

The identity of Top Gear's masked racing driver, the Stig, is quite possibly one of the biggest mysteries facing automotive television fans and at the same time is one of the things that keeps viewers coming back week after week to watch the BBC's best program. It would appear that the Stig's popularity has led him to set out on his own and star as the face of a new "Where's Waldo?" type magazine in which the white racing suit wearing top secret test driver is hidden amongst hoards of other individuals and all sorts of wacky automobile paraphernalia in Top Gear world. This is quite a paradox indeed, the Stig is mostly known for stepping into a car and going like hell, so the idea of having to catch the fastest man on Top Gear standing still is just absurd.
While the mystery of the original Stig is a closed case, being unmasked as Ben Collins , a professional racer who specialized in everything from rally car racing to stock car racing, only to have the BBC killed off the original man in black and replace him by the racer in white overalls that we know today. This lastest creation from illustrator Rod Hunt and BBC Books, "Top Gear, Where's Stig?" has just been released and should soon be available wherever books are sold.

White is the new black down-under as the international football frenzy surrounding the All Whites 2010 FIFA Football World Cup feats sweeps through New Zealand, and even into Australia.
The All Whites sporting prowess has made the guys in the white shirts into the Kiwi men of the moment - the local boys that everyone is clamouring to know more about.
So, here's some insider goss - what you probably didn't already know - on the All Whites.
Black to white
The All Whites have not always been lily white - in true Kiwi tradition, the national soccer team used to wear all black gear for international matches. Later, they moved to white tops and black shorts, changing to white shorts in 1982.
From less than 200,000 players nationally, the All Whites are selected from a pool of just 25 fully-fledged professionals - somewhat less than their previous opponents Italy which has almost 5 million players (more than New Zealand's population) including 3541 professionals.
The All White's 23-member World Cup squad includes at least one amateur player, and five players who are not under contract to professional clubs. Five team members play for the Wellington Phoenix.
Four members of the 23-member All Whites squad are Māori - striker Rory
Fallon, defender Winston Reid, midfielder Leo Bertos and midfielder
Jeremy Christie.
New Zealand has only appeared once before in a World Cup tournament - the 1982 event in Spain, and lost all three matches.
Ricki Herbert
Coach Ricki Herbert is on a mission to prove that passionate amateur footballers can cut it with multi-millionaire world champions.
Herbert is New Zealand's first locally-born national coach. But, it's only a part-time position that he shares with coaching duties for the capital city's much-loved Wellington Phoenix.
Herbert earns a NZ$50,000 salary as the All Whites coach which could make him the tournament's worst-paid manager - though he also earns an estimated NZ$200,000 as the Phoenix coach. Post tournament he's sure to be fielding some pretty good offers.
As a centre back, Ricki Herbert won 61 caps for New Zealand, and had a brief career in Wolverhampton Wanderers First Division.
Ryan Nelsen
All Whites captain Ryan Nelsen, who was born in Christchurch, has New Zealand's highest international football profile - as he also captains the Blackburn Rovers.
Nelsen, formerly of DC United in the United States, had almost given the game away when he was signed to Blackburn Rovers - a career move that soon established him as one of the English Premier League's top performers.
Mark Paston
All Whites goalkeeper Mark Paston - a Kiwi hero since his spectacular performance in New Zealand's 1-1 draw against Italy - has a twin brother, Andrew.
Paston and wife Amie also have a son - one-year-old Jack - who at only 10 weeks old had his first taste of World Cup action in Wellington last November. Jack was in the crowd cheering his father's historic $10 million penalty kick against Bahrain that opened the way to New Zealand's World Cup entry.
Paston, who made his All Whites debut back in 1997, plays for the Wellington Phoenix. His career has also included stints with Walsall, Bradford City in England, and St Johnstone, Scotland.
Shane Smeltz
Shane Smeltz scored eight goals in the qualifying rounds leading to the 2010 World Cup, making him New Zealand's leading scorer.
Smeltz - who was born at a US army base in Germany and grew up in Australia - got his chance to represent New Zealand after his uncle told the national football body about his parentage.
Rory Fallon
Rory Fallon - the son of British-born former NZ coach Kevin Fallon and a NZ Māori mother - left his birth country early in his career to represent England at youth level.
Fallon was on the bench at Plymouth when a recent FIFA regulation change allowed him to return to New Zealand.
His father Kevin Fallon coached New Zealand teams on various occasions, and was assistant coach for the 1982 World Cup appearance.
Chris Killen
Chris Killen has put his honeymoon on hold in order to play in the World Cup.
The New Zealand striker missed the warm-up friendly match - against Serbia earlier this month - because he was in Scotland saying his wedding vows to girlfriend Hannah.
Andy Barron
Andy Barron, who juggles a full-time job in banking with his football-playing career, has his iPhone on hand in South Africa - to keep an eye on the NZ-billion dollar asset fund he manages for Westpac clients.
Most of Barron's colleagues had been unaware of his extracurricular activities, until the midfielder was photographed - at home in Wellington - ironing his shirt before work last November. It was the morning after the successful World Cup playoff against Bahrain last November.
Barron, 29, was born in Invercargill in New Zealand's deep south, and has business finance degree from William Carey University in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
Chris Wood
Chris Wood, 18, is the youngest All White to play at the World Cup. The All White striker grew up in the Waikato where he played for the Hamilton Wanderers in his teens. He now plays for English Premier League Club West Bromich Albion.
Wood's parents - Julie and Grant Wood - are in South Africa supporting their son in the first leg of what will be a family world cup double. Chris' sister Chelsey (20) will be playing for New Zealand in the world under-20 womens' championships next month in Germany.
Ben Sigmund
Ben Sigmund played a leading role on-field in the All Whites qualifying matches, but has been surpassed at the tournament by rising star Winston Reid.
Sigmund's football career includes the New Zealand under-17 campaign at the 1997 World Cup in Egypt, an All Whites debut at age 19 - against Oman in 2000 - and a year playing club rugby in Christchurch. However, Sigmund - who was born in Blenheim, in New Zealand's Marlborough wine region - eventually found his way back into football.
Following his All Whites recall in 2007, Sigmund was named as the NZFC player of 2007/08. He now plays professionally as centre back for the Wellington Phoenix.

Filling seats still a challenge for ACC schools (AP)
Source: Yahoo! NCAAF - Oct 27, 2011 at 3:01 PM
Football stadiums in the Atlantic Coast Conference generally are less full than they were last year. The 12 ACC teams have been filled to only 86.9 percent capacity this season. According to league data, its stadiums were roughly 90 percent full during the 2010 regular season. Both figures are well below the high of 94.5 percent set in 2004, the year Miami and Virginia Tech joined the league.

IndiGo Airlines Employee Dies at Kolkata Airport
An IndiGo Airlines employee at India's Kolkata Airport (VECC) fell to his death onto the apron after accidentally walking through the open rear cabin doorway of a parked Airbus A320. The man's job was to supervise aircraft cleaners and maintain a safe work environment. The airline normally places stairs or a jetway only for the forward door, while allowing the back door to remain open to ventilate the cabin, with yellow caution tape strung across the open doorway as a safety precaution. An IndiGo spokesman reported that the tape was in place at the time of the accident.

Obama's Switch on Same-Sex Marriage Stirs Skepticism
Essential Reads
Most Americans suspect that President Obama was motivated by politics, not policy, when he declared his support for same-sex marriage, according to a poll released on Monday, suggesting that the unplanned way it was announced shaped public attitudes.
From the Vault: The Politics of Same-Sex Marriage

Asked About Gay Rights, Boehner Sticks to Economy
Essential Reads
One day after President Barack Obama roiled the political world by declaring his support for gay marriage, House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) Thursday seemed determined to keep his distance from the subject. Pressed on the gay marriage issue at his weekly press conference, Mr. Boehner repeatedly tried to steer the discussion back to the economy.

Obama Evolves on Gay Marriage
Essential Reads
President Obama's announcement Wednesday that he was done "evolving" and now supports same-sex marriage was, in retrospect, inevitable. Vice President Joe Biden made it so Sunday, when he remarked almost casually that he had grown "comfortable" with gay marriage. Biden's comfort level made Obama the nation's least comfortable politician, tied up in a knot of convoluted positions that he had hoped voters on both sides would overlook.
Obama's Gay Marriage Turnabout Forced Public by Biden
Essential Reads
At a fundraiser with gay activists in New York last June, the day before state legislators passed a same-sex marriage law, President Barack Obama considered the choice they were making. He concluded he'd almost certainly have voted "yes" too. Conversations with staff, family, friends and supporters also moved him in that direction.

Isotonic is a new generation of sports drink. In hot conditions, when sweat rates are high, athletes often prefer a "weaker" mixed sports drink with a lower carbohydrate concentration, which they then consume in higher volumes. Isotonic is the same formulation as EnergySource, except that it has a reduced carbohydrate content when mixed as directed. The carbohydrate in Isotonic is 2:1 fructose (with electrolytes).
Research suggests that you should consume a maximum of 60g carbohydrate per hour from traditional sports drinks. The recommended intake for new generation Isotonic with 2:1 fructose can be substantially higher, at up to 90 gram per hour. The ingredients in Isotonic help sustain performance during tough endurance events and help maintain hydration by enhancing the absorption of water. Leading event organisers and Pro athletes choose Isotonic for hot sweaty conditions.

It may be months before authorities learn the cause of the death of a man whose body was found unclothed in a North Salt Lake train yard.
Autopsy results for 27-year-old Brandon Taylor are not expected for 8 to 10 weeks, said North Salt Lake police Sgt. Mitch Gwilliam. Taylor's body was spotted March 18 near train tracks close to 1800 North and Beck Street. There were no obvious signs of trauma on his body, which was covered with mud, Gwilliam said.
Officer's found Taylor's clothing near the scene the next day, Gwilliam said. He would not describe the exact location or how officers confirmed the clothes were Taylor's. He said the clothes were not damaged.
Investigators are treating the death as suspicious but aren't actively pursuing suspects, Gwilliam said. Taylor was found in a gated railroad right-of-way with just one access point.
Anyone with information may call police at 801-335-8650.

"I don't hate dogs or anything, but why do dogs get special dog parks? There should be HUMAN parks!"
"not ageist but it's unfair how there are whole schools dedicated solely to teaching children, I demand there be schools just for adults! We want to learn too!"
"Why do vegans get to have special restaurants and menu items and stuff in the grocery store? There should be food just for carnivores!"
"How come gays get their own special clubs? How about a place where STRAIGHT people can dance and drink alcohol and hopefully hook up??"
"Why is it that wild animals get their own habitats? There should be areas that are predominantly populated by people! Hey, that was really alliterative! Predominantly populated by people"
"Women get to wear special underwear called panties. There should be something for men to wear between their pants and they're nude bodies! Men underwear!"
"Why do cars get to drive all over the place? I want to travel to! I want to go where cars go! I should be able to get INSIDE that car and make it go vroom vroom! Here's a thought, maybe people should drive the cars! Vroom vrooooom! Honk honk! Weeeeee!"
"How is it fair that homeless people get to be outside and people with homes have to live in them? Huh? How is that fair? Why do I have to have a job and shower? Why do homeless people get to lose their teeth and lay down in the sidewalk and I can't? Huh? HUH? Someone tell me!"
"Call me crazy, but doesn't anybody find it ridiculous that our parents get to have children? We should be able to grow up and have our OWN kids!"
"Call me crazy, but doesn't anybody find it ridiculous that our parents get to have parents? If my grandma and grandpa are my parent's parents, I should have parents too!"
"Night time? What about DAY TIME!?"
Okay that's enough of that.
People who get mad about black history month I think exemplifies a quality that is unique to being privileged. I feel like really privileged people, who are unaware of their privilege, are typically the only people who will get mad at someone else gaining something even if it takes nothing away from them. I suppose they are unaccustomed to actually being deprived of something, so the closest thing to them is someone else gaining something that they aren't gaining. That also explains why there are so many idiots who complain about not being "allowed" to say the n-word. A privileged person can't stand for anyone to have anything that they can't have, even if it's something they have no use for. It's the exact behavior of spoiled children.

MONROE—The lid on the rim was securely sealed on the Adams Central side of the gym Friday night as the Jets shot 3-26 from beyond the arc in a 55-46 loss to the Canterbury Cavaliers.
All three triples for the Jets came in the second half as AC went a staggering 0-12 in the first half in just their second loss of the season.
Defensively, Adams Central held the Cavaliers to below their season average but none of that matters if the Jets score less according to the Jets' coach Aaron McClure.
BERNE—SA coach Eric Myers knew his team would be thin at spots against the number one ranked Jets in class A.
In a last ditch effort to steal some points and ward off some Jet opportunities, the Starfires made a few lineup changes but after a few key AC pins, the Starfires ended up losing a 46-23 decision at the hands of their county rivals in the Stardome on Thursday night.
NEW HAVEN—Bellmont is still figuring out how to win during this young wrestling season.
On the road Tuesday night, the Braves took down the Bulldogs in an NHC battle but not by the dominant score fans are accustomed to seeing. Coach Brent Faurote's green squad earned a 40-27 victory over New Haven.
BERNE — South Adams went 4-1 Saturday in the annual Spencer Haworth Memorial Wrestling Invitational, losing only to eventual champion of the day, Jay County, 43-31.
"We needed a couple of guys to come through, either not get pinned or win a match that they weren't supposed to and it just didn't happen," stated SA mat coach Eric Myers, after his Starfires improved to 5-1 on the season.
NEW CASTLE—Bellmont made their presence felt over the weekend as the Braves' wrestlers cashed in on a 5-0 domination of the field at New Castle High School's Invitational.
The most notable win of the day on Saturday for coach Brent Faurote and his young Braves came against Pendleton Heights topping the Arabians 39-33.
PONETO – Life is good for a basketball coach when he has starters listed at 6-0, two at 6-3 and one at 6-5.
The heights as listed on the Adams Central boys' basketball roster aren't a stretch, and the players aren't just tall but strong, too.
Yes, the season should be a good one for Adams Central coach Aaron McClure and his towering team.

keep breast pump away from dogs lol
|Mon, 01-09-2012 - 11:19am
Its all my fault so I can't even be mad at my dog! I was mad at my damn self. So I pumped before I left out and I started to clean up. For some reason I left the silicone part to the pump in the living room. Came home and it was on the floor chewed up. So I left out and went to babies r us and they were closed! I checked online and noone had the replacement parts. I ended up hand expressing 6 ounces this morning. I have a manuel pump but I hate it! I was able to hand express more. I called some 1800 number and the chick said they don't sell replacement parts anywhere! BUT she was able to send me the parts I needed for free in 7 to 10 days!!
No dogs were harmed lol

Tomme tippee, I checked online everywhere for the attachment that goes on the breast. I even checked tommee tippee website.. they don't sell them! That kinda pissed me off cause if one part is missing the whole pump doesn't work. I'm happy that they will mail me the part I need but I will believe it when I see it. I'm gonna give them til next week to mail it to me, if not I'm gonna buy a complete different brand! I refuse to have something and the company doesn't sell replacement parts! The thing that's hard to believe is... when I called someone picked up right away..

Hedge fund still hammering? Time to celebrate by hopping on Denver-based Ecosse Moto Works' Titanium Series Supercharged Edition. For the price of a Lamborghini Gallardo (plus or minus a month's worth of manicures), this sweet $230,000 superbike delivers a hand-built titanium frame, a supercharged billet aluminum engine, and enough bespoke details to reduce a billionaire to tears. Tossed into the high-tech mix of carbon fiber and aerospace aluminum are old-school touches like hand-painted pinstriping and metal surfaces polished to a velvety sheen. But forget all the museum-worthy minutiae; this baby's got the subtlety of a Bunker Buster, and the power to cause about as much damage.
The Power Plant
The bike's heart is a 2,150 cc fuel-injected, hand-assembled engine. A supercharger squeezes more than 200 hp and 210 lb.-ft. of torque from the V-twin, which is mated to a transmission cut from solid billet. You know the guys who buy motorcycles to save gas money? This one ain't on their shopping list.
Hot Seat
They may look like merciless spine benders, but Ecosses are actually designed for comfort; gel-filled seats, adjustable foot controls, and an upright seating position make riding the Titanium Series more like sitting on a La-Z-Boy than hunching over a rice burner. But one crack of the throttle will quickly remind you that death is just a 180 mph hairpin turn away.
Devil's Details
Look closely at most superbikes and you'll find more plastic parts than you see on the Deal or No Deal girls. Not this one. Peep the machined, bezel-like notches in the headlight ring and exhaust hanger. The intricate trellis frame alone takes two welders 30 days to construct. Hey, pick up the pace, guys!

Reblog this if you think people with scars and stretch marks are still beautiful.
This is pretty much everything I like or want make comments on. So if it comes mind I might share. I also write Fanfiction for Twilight but want to also write Teen Wolf which I love. So I want to check it out my name is LoveK.
After watching the last episode I am very fricking upset.
We learned the identity of the Darach, and soon after, she found her next victim: Sheriff Stilinski.
This is not okay at all [cries 1000 years].
But when Jennifer was talking to the Sheriff at the end, going down the list of sacrifices…
Warriors, Guardians, Philosophers, Healers, Virgins.
This put an interesting idea in my head that I've toyed around with a bit.
Can we just speculate for a minute?
That's a really interesting theory because if that were true then that could possibly explain why Stiles is a 'Spark' in the first place or where he could have inherited it from. But then I would have to question why the Sheriff was taking care of Stiles in the first place. Is he doing someone a favor or did the Stilinski's change their name to hide from something or someone?
(via dylansneck)
Dear Derek,
Sorry you have zero luck with the ladies. Maybe you should consider banging dudes?
PS. I hear Stiles could be persuaded.

High-Altitude Challah
I make this challah for my family and family gatherings in Colorado, and it turns out beautifully each time. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does! If you'd like, sprinkle poppy or sesame seeds before baking, but we never do.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Vanessa is a fair bit smarter than Ozruk. He's a giant rock and shes the mastermind of a criminal organization with a vast knowledge of poisons. Vanessa is also quite small compared to Ozruk which does mean he can squash her like a bug but it also means she's going to be hard to hit.
Now the Elementium Spike Shield does pose a problem for Vanessa but there's no reason to think after one hit she'll learn to avoid that (it doesn't exactly last the whole fight.) But this leaves her open to the deadly Paralyze Shatter combination. Or so you would think. If Backslash is anything like Cloak of Shadows then Paralyze isn't going to do a thing and she simply avoids the Shatter.
Vanessa would probably win as long as she doesn't make a mistake.

New lizard genus discovered in Guyana - Page 2
New species are still being discovered. Does that mean that biodiversity is doing well?
Paradoxically, not... As a matter of fact, biodiversity is declining at an unprecedented rate. Thousands of species are now threatened with extinction. The degradation and destruction of biotopes are the main cause, but the global climate changes also play an important role (frogs for instance are very sensitive to these climate changes).
It is very likely that many species disappear even before they are discovered. While scientists inventory the species diversity and discover new species, a whole series of other species becomes extinct. To use a metaphor: it is like filling up a pierced recipient, with the hole growing increasingly larger.
What makes such discoveries important?
First and foremost, these discoveries allow to increase our knowledge about biological diversity, interactions between living species and thus about the environment they live in. While space probes are being sent out to explore distant planets, thousands of species remain unknown on Earth. Furthermore, the state of biodiversity is a safeguard of prosperity for all of us that use natural resources, and we have a duty to protect it.
We cannot protect what we do not know… That is why we must devote ourselves to describe living things and to understand the complexity of interactions that unite them. A species that has not been described simply does not exist. Moreover, the discovery of new endemic species in Kaieteur National Park is a solid argument for retaining and even increasing the protection of the park.
Who funds this line of research?
This research is funded by the Directorate-General for Development Cooperation through the Belgian Focal Point to the Global Taxonomy Initiative (this website will be opened in a new window).
Why is the Belgian Development Cooperation funding this research?
Human activities result in habitat restrictions throughout the world. Our remaining biodiversity badly needs protection, but this requires sufficient scientific knowledge. Unfortunately taxonomic skills and knowledge are very limited in developing countries, although these hold a major part of our biodiversity. The Belgian Development Cooperation (site opens in a new window) has decided to invest in projects allowing both the training of local researchers and the education of the public.
Research in Kaieteur National Park aims not only at a local biodiversity inventory, but at the schooling of Guyanese researchers as well. Moreover, young assistants, recruited in the villages bordering the park, have been trained during expeditions. Local schools are also involved in the park activities: this way, the population is made aware of the importance of protecting their region's biodiversity.
Have any other species been discovered in Kaieteur National Park?
Yes, at this moment, several species are being described. These are mainly frog species, but there is also a second new lizard species, which lives alongside Kaieteurosaurus hindsi in the park.

We loved it!
Our family had a great stay at Legacy Dunes. It's a fabulous location, property and condo with great amenities. We look forward to visiting again in the near future! Anthony and Karlyn
No complaints!!
My family of 5 spent the first week of August 2014 at this rental. Booking and access were simple. It's a gated, safe and secure location with 2 bedrooms, a sleeper sofa, a full kitchen and a washer and dryer in the unit. As we walked through the front door my whole family was impressed and excited about it. We found it to be very comfortable and spacious. We were less than a minute walk from an entry gate to one of the pools areas. There was also a tennis court and volley ball area on the site ( we didn't make use of them even though equipment was supplied in the condo). Disney is right up the road as well as Sea World. Legoland was a little over an hour away. Plenty of restaurants and stores close by. All in all very satisfied. Mike and Cathy
Condo at Legacy Dunes
The listing description was completely accurate. The property is well maintained and is very comfortable for a family of four. The location of the property is close to all the popular attractions and major food chains and shopping centers. The amenities are all well stocked as in silver ware and dinning ware. Also a washing machine and dryer and a dish washer. The property was clean and neat and the beds very comfortable. The owner has perfect customer service and will call or email you as soon as you notify him of any concerns. I strongly recommend this property to family and friends. The swimming pool is spacious and there is a tennis court and exercise room.

Hey, peeps of the net. I am Draculrider. I also go by the name of Kiba1303. The very own Kiba1303 that was on Youtube and is still active on DeviantART. I do cosplay and go to anime conventions. I will blog or post of what I want.I am 18 years old and a graduate of Etiwanda High School. I currently live in a small town in California. Yes, I am bisexual and FtM Transman. If you wanna ask questions, go right ahead. Don't like that I am transgender or bisexual, Neal with it.
So today at my college, they had a big book sale going on. I looked around and found a 1966 published WWII picture history book. I made my way towards the racks they had at the end of the table and looked around. I spotted the works of Oscar Wilde and decided to check it out. To my surprise, this book was published in 1940 during the WWII era. And since it looked tattered and the pages showed aging, I knew this was a legit copy. And it was only for $10. This is what it looks like.

Topic - Mont Blanc and Guilding Companies
Boulderdash86 on 07 Nov 2012
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Guilding Companies for Mont Blanc and if so approximate cost wise. I have done some googleing but there are so many about I would like to know which ones people have had good experiences with. Also I know its mainy a motorway up the top but what other (interesting) routes are there for someone who want to lose there Mont Blanc virginity??? I'm on a Winter ML course in Jan so that and my expereince of 3 seasons of Scottish Winter should give me some good foundations to work from. Or if anyone else is going out there sometime let me know of dates - you can see what I've done on my profile, but would probably prefer to go Guilding first as to obtain some knowledge.

Introduction to NoSQL and Neo4j Graph Database
Mike Pluta discusses some ideas behind NoSQL, Graph Databases, and Neo4j, including what they are and how they work
What is NoSQL?
NoSQL is a word derived from the word SQL. SQL stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is a programming language used to manage data (retrieve data, insert data, update existing data) in a relational database management system.
So, then, what's a relational database? If I were to write a complete description about relational databases this post would become too long (and boring!) to read. In short, relational databases use a relation schema as the data model of the database. In a relational database, data is stored as collection of relations (tables).
So again, returning to our question. What is NoSQL?
NoSQL doesn't means Not SQL or "no" SQL or the abjurement of SQL. It simply means NOT ONLY SQL. There are several common characteristics for NoSQL databases. They are:
- Non-Relational
- Cluster Friendly
- CAP Theorem Instead of ACID
- Schema less
In relational database systems, the relation schema is the data model of the database. What, then, is the data model of a NoSQL database? There are several dominant data models for NoSQL databases. Based on those data models NoSQL databases are commonly categorized as follows:
- Column-Oriented Database
- Document Database
- Key-Value Store Database
- Graph Database
Graph Data Model
Here in this example graph we have three vertices. Let denotes the vertices set as V={a,b,c}. If we denotes the set of edges as E, we can write E={ab,ac, bc}. The graph in the image is not a directional graph. That means the direction of the edges actually doesn't matter. In our example graph data model we will use directional graphs.
What is Neo4j?
Neo4j is a NoSQL database management system which uses a graph data model as its NoSQL data model. For more details, visit the Neo4j home page: http://www.neo4j.org/
Installing Neo4j
Neo4j is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS X environments. The installation of Neo4j is very simple.
Locate the appropriate version of the Neo4j database at the following link: http://www.neo4j.org/download
The rest of this section makes the assumption that you are installing onto a Windows-based system, however, the basics of installing Neo4j do not differ all that much from Windows to Linux (amazingly!).
After downloading the zip file, decompress it to any place desired. On my system, I've uncompressed the downloaded .ZIP file to a folder named "WORK" in the root of my F: drive.
Before taking the next step to installing Neo4j, make sure that you have the most current stable Java JDK on your system. In addition, you will need to be running a 64-bit OS (and the 64-bit JDK).
There were reports on the internet of Neo4j installations failing due to an error in the start script. On the systems I have installed, I have not run into this issue, however, THIS LINK will take you a blog post which discusses and addresses this issue.
Starting Neo4J
- Open a command window with elevated privileges (Run as Administrator)
- Navigate to the directory into which you unzipped the Neo4J file you previously downloaded
- Further navigate into the bin folder
- Type Neo4j start to start the Neo4J database
The command window will display some startup information along with the port number where the Neo4J Server is running. Neo4j will also open a blank Java console window. This can be minimised, but do not close this window.
