Japan Quake Deaths Estimated at 10,000
POSTED: Monday, March 14, 2011 - 6:09am
UPDATED: Monday, March 14, 2011 - 8:09am
JAPAN - Rescuers are frantically working around the clock in northern Japan trying to find any survivors from Friday's massive earthquake and tsunami.
Officials estimate more than 10,000 people were killed in the 9.0 quake.
Strong aftershocks continue to shake the region and officials remain worried that another tsunami could hit the coast.
Some 450,000 people are now in evacuation centers not including the 80,000 forced from their homes due to a nuclear power plant leaking radiation prompting fears of a multiple nuclear meltdown.
This morning U.S. warships and planes helping relief efforts have moved away from Japan's coast temporarily because of low-level radiation.
Over the weekend, Japan's prime minister said Friday's quake was the nation's worst crisis since world war two.
The cost to rebuild is estimated at 171 billion dollars.

Oceans episode facts
• Oceans and seas account for over 70% of the world's surface area.
• The oceans contain around 97% of all the water on Earth.
• The oceans support the life of nearly 50% of all species on Earth.
• Over one-third of the total human population, nearly 2.4 billion people, lives within 100 km (60 miles) of an oceanic coast.
• One billion people rely on fish as an important source of protein. As many as 90% of all the ocean's large fish may have been fished out.
• The oceans absorb 50% of the carbon dioxide humans release into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels for energy, as levels increase this leads to an increasing acidification of the oceans.

Tom Hugh-Jones Producer/Director Oceans and Jungles
Ever since his anthropologist parents took toddler Tom to live with a tribe in the Amazon rainforest, he's had a fixation with travelling to remote places. Since then, Tom's spent as much time as possible travelling, finding weird animals and generally scrabbling around in the dirt. When he heard about Human Planet, he knew it would be perfect for him, bringing together his passion for natural history and anthropology. Aptly he was assigned the Jungles episode and has been sweating it out in the forest ever since. He was also given the Oceans episode, but his dream of directing it from a sun lounger, pina colada in hand hasn't quite come to fruition. No one prepared him for the challenges, frustrations and physical hardship of storms, big waves and sea sickness!
Charlotte Scott, Assistant Producer, Oceans and 'Making of' Producer
Charlotte showed an early love of nature when she learnt to scuba dive at 14. This early training came in handy on several of the Human Planet Ocean shoots. She has been involved in rigging ropes (and cameramen) up boat masts, swimming with sperm whales and sailing across the Pacific Ocean in a traditional canoe. She has also explored the Colombian jungle and the pristine landscape of Papua New Guinea, dodging men with machetes and narrowly avoiding a bomb in Bogotá. But it is the character of the local people and their unique way of life that has made all these shoots so memorable for Charlotte.
Rachael Kinley, Researcher, Oceans and Jungles
With a first class degree in Archaeology and Anthropology from Cambridge, a love of adventure and a desire to meet intriguing people across the world. Rachael is convinced the job description for Human Planet researcher was designed for her. Coming from chilly Lancastrian climes, what she didn't bank on was quite how rubbish she would be at coping with the tropical heat. Luckily, most of her shoots have involved water, from days at sea on a boat in the Philippines to weeks being drenched by tropical downpours in the Amazon – providing a welcome opportunity for a cooling dip.
Working for Human Planet, she has dodged rocks thrown from slingshots in the Andes and narrowly escaped typhoons in the Philippines but couldn't avoid being stung by African bees in the Congo basin.

That's essentially the question Erin McPike is asking about Ron Paul in an article recently posted on RealClearPolitics.
It seems that the impetus for this article came when she asked Paul if he actually wanted to be president, and "he shrugged and said, 'Sure.'"
She also notes that in a speech on monetary policy sponsored by the Cato Institute, Paul stayed on topic and never mentioned he was running for president. "Even when his presidential rivals swoop into the nation's capital for a speech," she writes,
they tend to remind their audiences that they are running for president. It's something most people in this position simply can't stay quiet about. But more important, addressing a conference is an opening to get to more donors and support from activists or coalitions.
And yet, Paul didn't emulate Mitt Romney, who likes to tell listeners he is running for nation's highest office, perhaps so they can get used to the idea; or Rick Perry, who said he'll bring what he did in Texas to Washington. Paul never asked for a vote, never asked for the support of the people in the room, and never talked about what his administration would do come 2013.
As a result, McPike is not sure that Paul actually wants to be president.
First of all, Paul is running for president because he is deeply committed to his ideas, and he knows that it gives him a high profile platform to educate the public. Even despite the media blackout. McPike seems to get this point. What she doesn't get is that Paul wants to win. He just doesn't want to win for the normal reasons. As Paul explains,
I don't want to run your life, I don't know how to run your life, and the Constitution doesn't give me the authority to run your life.
Such a statement would be anathema to all the other candidates, who are running for president because they want power. That's why Mitt Romney is so quick to change his position to match those of his audience. That's why Herman Cain doesn't bother to learn things about the world (the experts will tell him who the president of "Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan" is and he'll be the supreme decider). And that's why Newt Gingrich is as slimy and demagogic as ever.
What I think McPike is picking up on though, is Paul's increasingly obvious frustration with the media who belittle, ridicule, and attack him. He's sick of questions that are never asked of the other candidates, like, "Why do you want to be president?" But just because he's tired of stupid questions like this (which is evident in his response that McPike included in her article) doesn't mean that he is indifferent about becoming president.
It just means that he thinks a lot of reporters and pundits are assholes. He'd just never put it that way.

A little about me...
Love the city and what it has to offer, but can be just as comfortable around family or the outdoors. I smile and laugh as often as possible, even if it is at myself. Love meeting new people and visiting new places. Love animals and kids. I am passionate about many things. I have a love for life and do not like wasting any moment to learn something new, experience something, or to make someone else feel loved or appreciated.
About the one I'm looking for...
Ideal match would be kind to others, intelligent, fun and easy going, and have a wide variety of interests. Must be an active person, not necessarily sporty, but likes to be out doing things. Must love to be around friends and family. He should enjoy art, music, and theater but still love a cold beer and a ball game.
Ideal Date - He would take what he knows about me, combine it with his likes and plans a casual, comfortable evening where we could actually interact together and make a memory. It could be our first of many.
I'd just like to add...

text: Oct23 healthcarebig datanew intelligence How Big Data Can Make Us Happier and Healthier webcommdesigns: Big data is getting personal. People around the globe are monitoring everything from their health, sleep patterns, sex and even toilet habits with articulate detail, aided by mobile technology. Whether users track behavior actively by entering data or passively via sensors and apps, the quantified self (QS) movement has grown to become a global phenomenon, where impassioned users seek context from their big data identities. Moreover, with services like Saga and Open Sen.se, users can combine multiple streams of data to create insights that inspire broader behavior change than by analyzing a single trait. This reflects a mixed approach design (MAD) research methodology that purposely blends quantitative and qualitative factors in a framework where numbers are driven by nuance. The science of happiness, for example, is now a serious study for business, as organizations combine insights of the head and heart to create environments where workers feel their efforts foster meaningful change. However it's studied, the desire to understand monitored behavior has reached a fever pitch, and the QS movement is attempting to meaningfully interpret our daily data. The Power of Passivity "We're moving towards a time when the ability to track and understand data is deeply woven into our daily lives," says Ernesto Ramirez, community organizer for Quantified Self, the eponymous organization created byKevin Kelly of Wired and Gary Wolf. "Sensors are becoming cheaper and connectivity is more ubiquitous by the day." This ever-present nature of data availability will become even more powerful when the general public begins to use apps that require little ongoing attention or input. Passive data collection is especially relevant in the healthcare industry, for example. "The data quantified self provides is not a replacement of any measurement to date — we haven't had this type of measurement to date," says Halle Tecco, co-founder and CEO of Rockhealth, the first seed accelerator for digital health startups. "Patients live very cautiously before trips to doctors, and this causes more trips to doctors. It's better if physicians can get a more comprehensive view of people's ongoing health." Tecco highlights the importance of passive monitoring. For instance, a mobile app can continuously measure glucose levels or other factors like heart rate over time. Spikes in those readings could immediately trigger a doctor, even remotely. "We can save money and improve outcomes by having data collection embedded in our everyday lives," she adds.

Fine Art Fridays #4- Giotto
Giotto di Bondone was born near Florence in approximately 1266. He began his early life as a shepherd though ended his life as a celebrated and rich artist. Not many artists in his day could boast being able to support a wife and eight children through their artistic endeavors alone, but he could. The works of Giotto are an important road marker in the history of art because in them we see the breaking of traditions long held in painting style thereby creating an open door to the Renaissance. Indeed, Giotto is known as the "Father of European painting." The style of the day called for stiff, emotionless figures. Giotto's figure were caught in candid poses, full of joy or sadness, much like a photojournalists captures images of peoples all over the world in celebration, everyday life, or in the grips of war. He was even an architect though he is best known for his frescoes, a painting process where color is applied to wet plaster and in the drying process bonds with the plaster creating a permanent, vibrant, and very durable piece of art. In fact, Giotto's frescoes can still be seen today over 700 years later. He is best known for his fresco The Nativity in Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Northern Italy. His frescoes even helped inspire Diego Rivera, the famous Mexican muralist who also chose fresco as his medium.
Together with this post, this cloze activity and coloring page can make a whole lesson on Giotto.
Just click on the images to enlarge and then you can print them out. Be sure to check print preview to make sure your print comes out right. I had to set mine at 50 percent to get each of the whole images on one page.
Tomorrow I will add a plaster painting project for you to try at home.

Thank you so much! Such kind words. I peeked at your site Chrysalis, and am now even more honored by what you said. I plan to visit there more, especially the Recipe for a raising a daughter. There were some very interesting ideas there! Mine is 15. She is also my oldest, so all my worst parenting mistakes have been inflicted on her. Poor kid.

Samhain (Wicca)
Samhain celebrates the Celtic New Year. The dying god returns to the womb of the Goddess in preparation for rebirth at Yule. The souls of those who have dies during the turning of the past year's wheel are bid farewell. It also marks the third and final harvest.

Thorogood has been building high quality work boots for over 100 years and the dark brown 6-inch Moc Toe Wedge Sole boots carry on that tradition. Made in the USA and built on broad wedge outsoles, these Thorogood boots support and cushion every step you take. The wedge outsoles are a must have for ironworkers and provide maximum surface contact, increasing traction on flat surfaces.
The Thorogood 6-inch Wedge boots are made with high quality materials and durable construction. Made with a unique moccasin toe design, this American made flat sole work boot offers a wider toe box for a more comfortable fit. The dirty brown crazy horse leather upper is attached to the slip and oil resistant Thorogood MAXwear Wedge sole with tough Goodyear Storm Welt construction. Another nice feature of the flat wedge sole is that they track less of the outdoors inside with you, making these boots great for roofers and farmers. This exterior is flexible but still creates a strong fit around your feet.

The mission of the Department of Government is to educate students in the areas of government, politics, and international affairs, and by this means to foster more knowledgeable, informed, and active citizenship, as well as more enlightened future political leadership, in the communities to which they belong.
On September 17, 1787, at the conclusion of a months-long convention meeting in Philadelphia, 39 representatives of the several states affixed their signatures to what became our founding document. In 2004, Senator Byrd initiated legislative action that renamed Citizenship Day to Constitution Day. This legislation also required that all public institutions recognize through learning opportunities the U.S. Constitution on or around September 17.
We, as a university community, will join the rest of the nation in honoring the Constitution of the United States on September 10, 2014. Together, we will focus our attention on and express our appreciation for that lasting and influential document with a pre-lecture reception and public lecture on the U.S, Constitution by a distinguished judge, The Honorable Terry D. Terrell, Circuit Judge, First Judicial Circuit State of Florida. Judge Terrell is a graduate from the Department of Government in Political Science.
Event Date: Wednesday, September 10, 2014

Ryan Murphy was born with Cerebral Palsy. Just everyday walking can be a tiring challenge for the 28-year-old.
"It takes me anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to take a shower or to get ready," Ryan said.
But the struggles are worth every effort for Ryan to come to Farmworkers Self-Help in Dade City. He tutors migrant children in math and English.
"I feel like that kids are the future," Ryan explained. "I feel like it is important to nourish and help our children."
He has a bachelor's degree in management and a master's in business administration. He uses what he learned -- along with his physical challenges -- to inspire a generation of kids to rise above any obstacle they may face.
"Life is full of challenges. You just have to learn to overcome them." Ryan continued.
Ryan volunteers his time to help these kids whose parents are migrant farm workers and often can't afford the luxuries of life and don't have the education to help their children learn and succeed.
He tutors at the center twice a week and his dream is to be a elementary school teacher.

I made this 2 years in a row for Thanksgiving and my mother said yesterday - you are making those sweet potatoes again, aren't you? They are SO good!
Brown Sugar-Glazed Sweet Potato Wedges
mhmolinaro Posted: 11/23/09
sirrah231 Posted: 06/25/09
I didn't have the same success as other reviewers with this recipe. I also made ahead of time, and wedges weren't coated, but rather soft and gooey. It was okay, but I'm still looking for my perfect sweet potato recipe.
RebeccaCH Posted: 12/09/08
Everyone loved this! I've made it for Thanksgiving two years in a row now and even people who claimed they didn't like sweet potatoes went back for seconds. This year I added some chopped pecans before baking and they were a great addition. I made it two days ahead and they kept well. Just had to reheat them for about 30 minues.

Such was the case for Warhill High junior Alex Koon when she appeared this winter in a volleyball tournament in Raleigh, N.C. Chris Lamb, the coach of national women's volleyball power Wichita State, was there to scout another player and saw Koon, a 6-foot-4 hitter who led Warhill to the 2013 Group 3A state championship match.
Shortly thereafter, Wichita State scouted Koon at a Williamsburg Volleyball Club practice conducted by Jamestown coach Tom Stephenson. Greg Koon, Alex's father and the Warhill coach, said the practice was a "huge benefit" because of the intensity.
Koon then received an invitation to visit the campus, and liked the program, players and Lamb so much that she committed. Wichita State has offered her a full scholarship to play there, Greg Koon said.Koon, a consensus all-state selection as a hitter at Warhill, will be joining one of the elite programs in Division I. the Shockers have won more than 20 matches in 11 consecutive seasons, reached seven consecutive NCAA tournaments and were in the 2012 Sweet 16.

Beats can collapse/fold up which is a big plus for me and they have a smaller carrying case with a hook thats cool where as syncs dont collapse and have a bigger carrying case with a weird but good handle. Sounds Like Beats win this category .......... BUT the wireless feature on the Sync's give them the ultimate portability, its sweet af without the wires, i can walk around the house and everything its sweet trust me. I dunno how many times ive ripped out the wire on Beats it can be annoying af, you dont get that with Sync's therefore Sync's get the point for this category. (I will give Beats a half point as they fold up and have a smaller carrying case)
Design Sync's have a very good design, they look hot you cant deny that. Beats design is good too the black/red, brushed metal is hot and the Beats By Dre across the headband is sweet its looks better than the SMS Audio on the Sync's but compared to the Sync's the overall design is not as nice. The Sync look flashy and thats when the blue LED in the "S" is turned off, the flashing blue light is class. Sync design is alot better so Sync's win here.
Durability Beats are notorious for snapping, that musta sucked big time. Syncs are un-breakable, you can bend em and twist em as much as you want, they will not snap. That was one of the coolest thing bout Syncs, they win here.

What's your excuse for not pursuing your passion?
Mr. Smith talked about all kinds of excuses we are making for not going for it in life. I have many tiered dreams in life, and while some are checked off (like working abroad), others still need to be (like changing the world). I find myself thinking that there are too many gatekeepers in the world and too much potential for environmental destruction (i.e. putting out a certain product), so I am always rethinking my "passion", and hoping that I don't come across something where others or the world have to suffer just because of my own ego / narcissistic need to self-actualize.

Mar 24 2012: I agree Genevieve, that we may be like teenagers in terms of how we are figuring things out, and we may be slowly starting to understand more about our power with a growth spurt!
We have more advanced communication systems, which allow us to connect throughout the world, science and technology has given us the gifts of more advanced methods of studying the brain/mind, and we know that with evolution, the brain is expanding in size, and perhaps is ready for the next step of evolution in which we may discover more about the power of communication and connectivity throughout our world? Guess we'll see! It is also a big life-long curiosity of mine:>)

Proper, comfortable footwear can make the difference between outdoor adventure and outdoor agony. Save yourself the blisters. Find our top hiking, backpacking, and climbing shoes and boots, plus trail runners, sandals, and water shoes below.
Browse thousands of independent footwear reviews and ratings by real hikers, backpackers, mountaineers, climbers, paddlers, and trail runners to select appropriate, dependable, field-tested shoes for your next trip. And don't forget the wicking socks, gaiters, insoles, and booties. Your dogs will thank and reward you.
Reviews and product information will point you to quality outdoor footwear, but ultimately the most important aspect is a good fit. Here are some tips to help you properly fit hiking and backpacking boots:
Try on boots at the end of the day, when your feet are their largest.
Wear the socks and any insoles or inserts you would normally use with the boots.
One of your feet is probably larger than the other. Size boots to the larger foot. Better to have one shoe a little loose than the other too tight.
Walk around in the boots for at least 15 minutes.
Toes should have a little room to wiggle, and shouldn't jam into the toe box.
Heels should feel firmly in place with no heel slippage.
Walk up and down an incline to check for heel slippage on the uphill and any toe jamming on the downhill.
Try different styles and widths. You may be a different size in different brands.
Women typically should consider footwear that's built on a women's last, instead of models sized down from a men's last (but everyone is different, buy the shoes that fit you).
Boots should feel like they fit initially. Don't rely on breaking them in to make them fit. If they don't fit now, they won't stretch to fit later.
While you want to pick a boot that fits from the start, you can tweak boots with custom orthotics and insoles (to fill up extra space), professional stretching of the boot (to add space), and different lacing techniques (to reduce foot movement).
No matter how well they fit, don't forget to break in your boots around the house or on some easy day hikes before you embark on that weeklong backpacking trip.

IRVING, Texas – The entire gamut of problems limiting the Cowboys all year manifested itself into one futile half too great to overcome, providing quarterback
The same issues with turnovers, defensive lapses, injuries, rushing failures, red zone woes, third down struggles offensively and defensively and untimely penalties that afflicted the Cowboys sporadically throughout the year were all on full display Thursday.
This time, another furious second-half comeback wasn't enough in a 38-31 defeat.
"You can't spot good teams," said tight end
Rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III finished with 311 yards passing and four touchdown passes to provide the Cowboys with their first-ever Thanksgiving loss to the Redskins, snapping a streak of six straight wins. He started slowly on his first two possessions before guiding the Redskins' offense to four second-quarter touchdowns, finding the end zone on every drive of the quarter.
Head coach Jason Garrett compared Griffin to Cam Newton in the week leading into the game, but the Redskins quarterback provided much more firepower than the Panthers signal caller had earlier in the year against the Cowboys. The Redskins outscored Dallas, 28-0, in the second quarter, including three touchdown passes from Griffin, after Dallas took a 3-0 lead to start the game.
"I thought we were actually OK on the college stuff, but they out-executed us throwing the deep ball and they hit some huge shots on us," said defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. "Those are hard to recover from. That deflates the entire team.
A 68-yard bomb to Aldrick Robinson and a 59-yard heave to Pierre Garcon were both included in the second quarter attack, in which the Redskins outgained the Cowboys offense by 163 yards. As the Redskins found success deep, the Cowboys offense remained stagnant, fumbling, throwing an interception and punting.
"They made big plays, they made little plays, we didn't convert plays and we turned the ball over," Garrett said. "You can't do that against a team like this, that's as dynamic as they are. We missed some opportunities and they took advantage of their opportunities. We dug ourselves a big hole."
The Cowboys finished the game with three turnovers and only 35 rushing yards, while allowing 142 yards on the ground. They also finished at 50 percent efficiency in the red zone and committed seven penalties, building on the problems of the past.
Most of the damage came in the first half, as the 25-point halftime deficit set up another energetic comeback attempt. Memories of
Bryant was once again the player leading the charge in the second half Thursday, providing six catches for 125 yards in the second half alone. After fumbling early in the game, he gave the Cowboys an outside chance on the longest reception of his career, taking an 85-yard catch and run for a touchdown to cut the deficit to 28-13.
If that touchdown displayed his big-play ability, his next one demonstrated his newfound sense of reliability.
The Redskins scored another touchdown on a wide open play-action pass before the Cowboys drove the field and answered with a
The problems inside the 20 continued, but on a fourth-and-3 at the Redskins' 11-yard line, Romo turned to Bryant, who delivered on a diving grab near the sideline to cut the Redskins' lead to seven points.
"I thought Tony did a phenomenal job keeping things alive and Dez really came on and has come a special elite player, not only with the big plays, but with the underneath plays as well," said Witten. "But, all that means nothing when you're not winning. It's that time. We've got to start doing it and playing better early in games so that you can stay within the game plan."
With 8:18 still remaining, the game would be in the hands of a reeling defense that had already lost
The Cowboys answered with Bailey's third field goal of the game as Romo increased his passing total to 441 yards, but by then, only 18 seconds remained and the onside kick attempt was nearly returned for a touchdown.
Once again, a late comeback attempt came up just short as the Redskins hopped the Cowboys in the division. And once again, the Cowboys can point to the same reasons for the ineffectiveness.
"Tony was phenomenal trying to make those plays and us fighting at the end, but it's just too hard," Witten said. "You get away from your plan, all the work you put in the week to study and the formations and how you're going to attack them, that goes out the window. You've just got to do a better job. There's no other way to say it, but we've got to start better in these games."

From Texas A&M Athletic's Department:
Bone, Pratcher & Walker Earn All-SEC Honors
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.- Three Texas A&M women's basketball players earned recognition as the 2012-13 All-Southeastern Conference Women's Basketball Awards were announced by the league on Tuesday.
Junior Kelsey Bone (Houston, Texas) was selected to the All-SEC First Team, while senior Adrienne Pratcher (Memphis, Tenn.) was selected to the All-SEC Second Team, freshman Courtney Walker (Edmond, Okla.) represented A&M on the SEC All-Freshman Team. The honors were voted on by the league's 14 head coaches who are not allowed to vote for their own players, ties were not broken.
Kentucky's A'dia Mathies and Tennessee's Meighan Simmons were named Co-Players of the Year and Tennessee's Bashaara Graves was named Freshman of the Year. Tennessee's Holly Warlick has been named Coach of the Year and South Carolina's Ieasia Walker Defensive Player of the Year, while Arkansas' Sarah Watkins and Missouri's Morgan Eye shared 6th Woman of the Year. Additionally, Auburn's Blanche Alverson was named Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Bone is in her second season at Texas A&M and led the league in field goal percentage, ranked second in rebounding and third in scoring. The 6-foot-4 center started every game this season for the Aggies and ranked eighth in the country in field goal percentage, 56th in rebounding and 63rd in scoring while recording the 28th most double-doubles (13). Bone was named to the All-SEC second team and the SEC All-Freshman Team following her freshman season at South Carolina. Bone recorded season bests in minutes, field goals, free-throws, rebounds, assists and points in 2012-13. Bone is the 24th player in program history to record 500 career rebounds and currently sits in 20th on the career list. She is on pace to be the 26th player to record 1,000 points, just 77 points shy of the milestone.
Pratcher, in her final year in Aggieland, took over the starting point guard role starting 28 of 29 games and relished her opportunities by leading the league in assist-to-turnover ratio, ranking third nationally. In conference games the 5-foot-7 guard took her game to another level, leading the league in three-point field goal percentage and ranking 25th in scoring. Pratcher with 301 career assists is just nine assists short of making the top-10 all-time in program history. Kerrie Patterson (1995-99) currently ranks 10th with 309 career assists. Pratcher recorded career bests in points, rebounds, assists and steals in 2012-13.
Walker in her first season at A&M and has started every game this year, becoming the first freshman in the Gary Blair era at Texas A&M to record back-to-back 20 point games. Later in the season the 5-foot-8 guard scored 20 points two additional times to help her rank second in scoring for the Aggies on the year at 10.5 points per game. Walker was a warrior on the floor averaging just over 30 minutes per game and playing all 40 minutes during the final two games of the year.
