Ticket Prices
With about a week until the 2015 Master's Tournament, tickets for a two-day pass to see the action on Saturday and Sunday are averaging for $2402 on the secondary market. A two-day pass for Thursday and Friday is slightly less expensive at $2330 on average. For fans that just want to catch one day of the Master's, a day-pass for Thursday is averaging $1187 on the resale market, while a ticket for Friday is reselling for $1118. Meanwhile, tickets for Saturday are going for $1134 on average, and the average ticket for Sunday is about $1205 as of right now.
Tickets to see the 2015 Master's Tournament are less expensive than they were on this date last year. On this date in 2014, tickets for Saturday and Sunday at the Master's averaged $2890 on the resale market, a decrease of about 16% over that span. Similarly, a Thursday-Friday pass to the Master's was going for about $2773 on average, meaning ticket prices for the first two days have dropped nearly 20% over the past year.
The ticket price for a badge to the Master's increased by $75 on the primary market this year, but it's unclear if this is behind the reason for a decrease in price on the secondary market. It's also worth mentioning that numbers from last year don't account for Tiger Woods officially withdrawing from the competition with lingering back issues, which ultimately caused prices to dip in the few days leading up to the 2014 Master's. So although prices were more expensive on this date last year, the 2015 Master's could ultimately be more expensive by Thursday when the tournament officially begins.
Ticket prices are significantly more expensive when looking at the past five years. On this date in 2013, a two-day badge for Thursday and Friday averaged $2113 on the secondary market, while a Saturday-Sunday badge was actually less expensive with an average of $1948. In 2012, a Thursday-Friday badge was slightly more than in 2013 with an average price of $2212, but that's still slightly less expensive than this year's tournament. A badge for Saturday and Sunday was also somehow cheaper than a Thursday-Friday badge on this date in 2012, as tickets for the final two days resold at $1879 on average. Finally, back in 2011 a ticket for Thursday and Friday went for $1622, over 30% cheaper than tickets for the first two days of the 2015 Master's. A badge for Saturday and Sunday in 2011 only averaged about $1568 on this date, nearly 35% less expensive than the average price for this year's tournament.
The Master's is by far the most expensive major golf championship. Last year, a badge for the whole week at the U.S. Open averaged just $484 on the secondary market, about one third the price of a Sunday ticket to the 2015 Master's. An entire week at the PGA Championship last August was slight more expensive than the Open with an average price of $536, but still about half the price of one day at the Master's. Part of the reason that both of these majors are markedly cheaper is that both rotate in location each year, whereas the Master's always takes place at Augusta. Unfortunately since the Open Championship occurs in the United Kingdom, and therefore SeatGeek does not have ticketing data for the fourth major tournament in the PGA circuit, but it's unlikely prices are comparable to the Master's.

Masters Ticket Prices - The Cost to See Golf at its Finest
The Masters is days away, and as always, the exclusivity of Masters tickets is making them scarcely available in the open market, hard to get and steeply priced. According the their official site, this limited supply is long sold out from the primary box office. This is not a surprise. A near-negligible amount of tickets…Read more

Today the final National Book Award category longlist was announced. For the authors involved, that means it's time for nervous hand-wringing to commence. For readers, well, it's time to dig into those lists and start reading, dissecting the judges' motives and/or rooting for your favorite . . . which is exactly what we're doing at BookPage! Read on for the behind-the-scenes action.
I'm pulling for young, experimental poet Maureen N. McLane—third er, collection's the charm, right? The New York University English professor blends lush natural imagery with pointed, contemporary syntax in This Blue. At once playful and profoundly sobering, these poems examine mankind's history and our tendency to exploit and abuse the beauty of our earth. Now is the perfect time to dive in if you missed this fantastic collection during National Poetry Month.
—Hilli Levin, Editorial Assistant
Looking at the NBA's nonfiction longlist reminds me of the old "Sesame Street" song: One of these things is not like the others. Roz Chast's hilarious and moving graphic memoir, Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, stands out from a crowd of traditional narrative history and biography. Could Chast emerge as the winner? It seems highly unlikely, but I'm thrilled to see her deeply personal look at the perils of aging among this year's contenders.
—Lynn Green, Editor
One farm. One family. One hundred years. Jane Smiley is taking on a seriously ambitious literary project with her Last Hundred Years trilogy, so it doesn't surprise me a bit that the first novel, Some Luck, grabbed a spot on the NBA longlist this year. This installment takes us through the life of the Langdons from 1920 to 1953, and if the next two books are anywhere near as marvelously executed, then don't be surprised if the critical praise and award nominations continue to flow her way.
—Hilli Levin, Editorial Assistant
It might feel shocking to see John Darnielle, a man most famous for being the lead singer of The Mountain Goats, on the NBA longlist for his first novel, Wolf in White Van. But when you consider the fact that his lyrics might as well be poetry or short stories, it's really not that surprising. Blame it on my love of the underdog, but I'm hoping for a win for this musician-turned-novelist.
I'm also rooting for Molly Antopol and her quietly beautiful collection of short stories, The UnAmericans, because, well, wow. She's under 35 and this is her debut work of fiction. I'm under 35 and I just googled "how to handwash stuff" so I find this immensely impressive.
—Lily McLemore, Assistant Editor
As the fiction editor at BookPage, I'm starting to have a visceral reaction to the descriptor "post-apocalyptic fiction." But Canadian author Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven brings a breath of fresh air to the genre with her fourth novel, a beautiful and deeply felt story that uses its dystopian setting to explore our very human need for shared culture, art and stories. Here's hoping this original and insightful work moves on to the shortlist.
—Trisha Ping, Managing Editor
It's no surprise to see Jacqueline Woodson's memoir-in-verse, Brown Girl Dreaming, on this list, and you'll likely see it on several more award lists before the end of the year. Her accessible and poignant story shares what it was like to grow up in the 1960s and '70s in a country "caught / between Black and White" and how writing helped her find her voice.
Also, is there any living writer who better captures the hilarity, messiness (sexual, social and emotional) and adventure of being a teenage boy than Andrew Smith? Not likely. Although I thought Grasshopper Jungle was the better of his two books that came out this year, 100 Sideways Miles is another winner—and it's about time Smith was publicly and widely recognized for his talent.
—Cat Acree, Associate Editor

Yesterday the winner of the 2014
Orange Bailey's Prize for Women's Fiction was announced, and it was a bit of a dark horse: debut author Eimear McBride's modernist masterpiece, A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing.
The Irish author, who is 38, snagged the prize despite a highly competitive shortlist that included Jhumpa Lahiri, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Donna Tartt, as well as the acclaimed debut Burial Rites.
Published in the Commonwealth last year, A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing is a challenging stream-of-consciouness narrative, told from the perspective of a young girl, that proved a tough sell: McBride spent most of a decade shopping it around before finding a home with Norwich's Galley Beggar Press. But its vital, visceral voice—one UK reviewer called the book "an instant classic"—proved impossible for the judges to ignore.
In her announcement, judge chair Helen Fraser called the book, "An amazing and ambitious first novel that impressed the judges with its inventiveness and energy. This is an extraordinary new voice—this novel will move and astonish the reader."
A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing will be published in the U.S. in September by Coffee House Press. Will you read it?

We always look forward to the Newbery, Caldecott and Printz Awards, and this morning was filled with delight (and some surprise!) over this year's recipients.
We're perhaps most ecstatic that Kate DiCamillo won the 2014 Newbery Medal for Flora & Ulysses, the adventurous, hilarious story of a cynical, comic-loving girl who befriends a most unusual squirrel. (We were looking forward to this one several months before it came out; watch us chat with DiCamillo about seal blubber, poetry and giant donuts here.)
Mad props to our teen literature expert, Jill Ratzan, for predicting the Printz winner! She shared her prediction for Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick, saying, "Midwinterblood makes its readers work hard to uncover its secrets. That makes it a top Printz contender in my book." Seven intertwined narratives, full of blood and magic, unfold in reverse chronological order on a mysterious, remote island.
We are also tickled that Brian Floca won the Caldecott Medal for Locomotive, a gorgeous picture book about the beginnings of the transcontinental railroad in the United States.
Here's a (partial) list of the 2014 Youth Media Award winners. Find the full list here, and click the links below to read coverage in BookPage.
Locomotive by Brian Floca (Atheneum)
Flora & Ulysses by Kate DiCamillo (Candlewick)
Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick (Roaring Brook)
MARGARET A. EDWARDS AWARD (lifetime achievement in writing for young adults)
Markus Zusak (The Book Thief)
So, what do you think, readers? We're definitely thrilled by some, surprised by others.

Cats may not really have nine lives, but they do usually land on their feet. It's a smart skill evolved from eons of clambering through trees to dodge predators and hunt for food. But this innate ability makes for some serious worry in the urban world.
Pet parents who live in tall buildings often allow their cats to sun themselves in open windows and on fire escapes, unaware that their felines' prey drive may lead them to pounce on moving birds or insects. Tragically, falls often result in shattered jaws, punctured lungs, broken limbs—and even death.
While it may sound a bit like urban legend, High-Rise Syndrome is actually a serious problem for cats in the city.During the warmer months, veterinarians at the ASPCA Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital in New York City see approximately three to five cases a week!
Why Take Chances?
The good news is that these falls are 100 percent preventable. Please visit our High-Rise Syndrome FAQ for a complete list of safety measures all feline parents should take.

Originally created for a live performance, this silkscreen concert poster presents a great example of the illustration work created by artist, printmaker, and Ground-Up Studios founder, Dan Grzeca. Partial to surrealistic subject matter, Grzeca's style creates a frenetic effect thanks to a wild use of lines and shading. The kind of work that creates a feeling of reverberation thanks to its style, each one of these prints comes signed by the artist himself.

I am connected to 3 layer switch used to create IP subnet-based VLANs. Is there any way to do VLAN hopping? Note that this isn't using 802.1q; it's not port-based L2.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Information Security Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for information security professionals. It's 100% free, no registration required.
This can be easy as changing your IP address to one of the other subnets. Since you mentioned that this isn't port-based, then if there is no anti-spoofing rules on that switch you can do vlan hopping just like that. Try various gateways too, e.g. IP address from one LAN, and gateway from another. Sometimes works - on default setup with no filtering or routing policy this is the case on most switches.
You can see one vendor's implementation of subnet-based VLans and how they interact with the switch here starting on page 12: http://www.alliedtelesis.com/media/fount/how_to_note_alliedware_plus/overview_vlans.pdf

The Browns went from 5-11 last season to 4-12 this season under first-year coach Rob Chudzinski. According to Chris Mortensen, Chud will be fired. (Although he hasn't actually been fired yet.) Browns players are reportedly mad at the prospect of Chud leaving.
Mike Silver talked to various people in the Browns organization, and they seem to be in disbelief that Chud wouldn't get the chance at a second season.
A Browns coaching source, regarding reports that Chud may/will be fired: "This is out of nowhere."
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) December 29, 2013
I am texting with numerous Browns players and their emotions range from bewildered to furious
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) December 29, 2013
One Browns player: "We are so dysfunctional. These billionaires need to pick somebody and stay with them. These aren't girlfriends..."
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) December 29, 2013
"... you can't dump them if they (fail to please you) one time."
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) December 29, 2013
I just heard from a knowledgeable Browns source that the reported Chud firing "is not a done deal."
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) December 29, 2013
Another Browns player: "This organization is a joke."
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) December 29, 2013
A third Browns player: "I'm on the wrong bus, and very happy I don't have to sit on bus one in awkwardness..."
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) December 29, 2013
Considering the offensive weapons that Chud—a guy with an offensive coaching background—was handed in his first season as head coach, his canning would be so, so stupid. Outside of Josh Gordon and tight end Jordan Cameron, Chud had nothing to work with, and yet the team still produced the best wide receiver in the league this season. Cleveland's top running back Trent Richardson was traded away to the Colts after two games, and the stable of replacements included Chris Ogbonnaya, Fozzy Whittaker, Willis McGahee, Edwin Baker, guys who shouldn't be considered as starting rushers.
The quarterback depth chart was the largest clusterfuck. Brian Hoyer was awesome for a few games early in the season, but he tore his ACL, because nothing nice is allowed to happen. Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell played out the rest of the season, but neither of them should be held against a coach's first-season performance, especially considering what he came into. It's not like the Browns were an annual contender and Chud fucked everything up. How can you rebuild if you keep rebuilding the rebuilding staff?
Update: Chud has been officially fired, according to Ian Rapoport. The Browns tweeted out Chud's firing, too.

Supreme Court not yet saying whether it will take up the issue.
Those who were waiting Monday for the U.S. Supreme Court to say whether it would decide one of the gay-marriage cases it has under consideration were disappointed by the silence. The court has been asked to rule both on Proposition 8, the ballot initiative that banned gay marriage in California, and the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which bans benefits for same-sex couples. If the justices don't make an announcement after their next closed-door session on Friday, gay marriage may not be on the court's docket this year.
That's one more reason for state legislators not to put off voting on their gay marriage proposal. Lawmakers have already approved the measure once. If it passes one more time, it will go to voters in a referendum, and they will decide whether to put the state's ban on gay marriage in the state constitution or leave it as a mere state law.
Possible Supreme Court action has been one of the reasons opponents of the ban gave for delay. Why bother to put something in the constitution if there is a chance the Supreme Court will rule gay marriage bans unconstitutional? Given the court's current makeup and recent rulings, it's anybody's guess whether the U.S. Constitution's full-faith-and-credit clause would be invoked to make states honor each other's gay marriages the way they now honor traditional ones.
Actually, that never was a very good argument in the first place. Even if the measure goes to a voter referendum, that balloting wouldn't take place until 2014. If the court does approve gay marriage in some fashion in 2013, the vote could simply be canceled – no harm, no foul.
The best argument against the measure is that it attempts to make more permanent something that is now very fluid. It's much harder to change something in the constitution than it is to rescind a state law, and there is a growing acceptance of same-sex marriage in this country. Three states just approved it in voter referendums, and new polling suggests that for the first time a majority of Americans has no problem with gay unions. It's not that high in Indiana, but approval is still higher than it once was.
But that's what a referendum is all about, isn't it? If the General Assembly approves the measure again, then opponents and proponents alike can make their strongest cases to the voters who will make the ultimate decision. Whether or not you like the proposed outcome, the consulting-the-public process is admirable. And it sure beats imposition of agenda by the courts.

The ultimate home fragrance
Two years ago when my husband died, a friend sent me a gift box from Thymes. Inside was a Manderin Coriander candle and home fragrance. I can't begin to tell you how therapeutic those two products were for me at that time. The aromatherapy they provided always gave me a sense of calm. Since that time I have given these products as gifts to people I love. They are magical in the soothing, fresh scent they provide. There has never been a home fragrance before Manderin Coriander that matches my desire for a fresh, clean,citrus scent, that softly lingers in a room.

Train fatality ID'd as Cromwell teen
A teen was the person reportedly killed by a train early Tuesday in Kosciusko County.
Nicole Skaggs, 15, of Cromwell, a freshman at Wawasee High School in Syracuse, was identified as the victim by the Kosciusko County coroner's office. She was pronounced dead at the scene from blunt-force trauma according to Deputy Coroner Mike Wilson of the Kosciusko County Coroner's Office.
Skaggs was reportedly walking across the CSX railroad crossing on County Road 1000 North, just south of County Road 1250, before being struck by a westbound CSX train at 2:40 a.m.
The coroner's office and the county sheriff's department are still investigating the fatality.

Pronounced: You-vee-eye-tis
Deanna M. Neff, MPH
Uveitis is inflammation of the middle layer of the eye. This middle layer of the eye is called the uvea. Uveitis is a potentially serious condition. It requires care from your doctor to prevent vision loss.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Most often the cause of uveitis is not clear.
Some uveitis may be caused by a trauma to the eye or an infection, such as:
Uveitis may be more likely to occur in people with other health problems and immune system diseases, such as
Uveitis may cause:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. An eye exam will also be done. An eye specialist will do a more extensive exam of the inside of your eye.
Blood tests may be done to look for other diseases or illnesses associated with uveitis.
Most often treatment will focus on relieving the symptoms of uveitis until it goes away. It is important to follow treatment recommendations to prevent complications or recurrence.
If an underlying condition is causing the uveitis, treatment will focus on the condition causing the problem.
Medication can help to:
In some cases, surgery or a special eye implant may be needed.
It is important to follow up with your doctor and watch for signs of recurrence.
Since the cause is often unknown, it is impossible to prevent a first episode of uveitis.

|Greatness by Trevor from Walpole, MA
I have all of the Edges, this one is very well designed. It is a wider head than most but it can be used for any postion. All in All its a great head and I would recommend buying it
|Excellent Head by connor from darien, ct
I have this head on my longpole and I like it very much. The headface is pretty wide, so I picnched it a little bit. It still works just as well pinched, so I would recamend to people to pinch the head. Also, it is very stiff, which is good becasue I play defense. It can withstand a solid check without warping even the slightest bit. Overal, this is a very good head that I would recomend specificly for someone who plays defense of long pole middie.
|Great Defensive Head by Logan from Brookline, New Hampshire
This is my first year playing defense and I wanted a really strong and sterdy head that would get the job done. I got this and it was perfect! Not brakeable at all and with a good pocket, its a beuty!
|unbeatable by David from Hartford, CT
I was using the Cyber pro a few years back but because of the amount of poke checks I throw I broke a couple so i decided I'd move to the edge last year. Held up great! I throw a TON of pokes and I didn't have ANY issues. My only complaint is the head could be more pinched but if you string it well that isn't an issue. Also the flat scoop helps with ground balls. GREAT D HEAD!!!
|Great for D, LSM & developing middies by Jay from Boston, MA
Flat wide scoop great for D and LSM. Also great for the developing middy looking for a solid upgrade from entry level head. Great for scooping grounders on the run and promotes a great pocket for ball retention both a pro and con`;` no matter how many times I string it, it always has a low seated pocket causing slower release. Always a staple on a bench as a versatile back up.
|Great head by Kyle from Woburn, Mass
On last wensday I bought a unstrung brine eadge x head that was strung by comlax it had blue hard mesh with neon green string in a sixth nation formate this was the best head and mesh job I have every had this head is outstanding with picking up ground balls great wide head so it is easier to catch balls with THIS IS HANDSDOWN THE HEAD I HAD EVER HAD MY ENTIRE LIFE

After his arrival at WATE around 1958, Jack Wiedemann was a popular on-air host who was also instrumental in moving the station into its current headquarters, Greystone. Wiedemann still lives in town (see Secret History). Perhaps coincidentally, the perspective of this mocked-up photo is from the block where WROL-TV began broadcasting in 1953.
Woodruff's furniture store on Gay Street (now the Downtown Grill), a major purveyor of television sets, displayed these promotions for Knoxville's first two TV stations: a quiet promo for WATE, at left, and a flashier show of WTVK, then a CBS affiliate, at right. In the mid-1950s, WTSK boosted its signal and became WTVK, but the UHF channel continued to have problems. What it lacked in coverage, it made up with fresh ideas.
An early WROL-TV test pattern. In 1954, WROL-TV became WATE.
At left, around 1955, a dramatic day in the history of Channel 26, when they paved the steep dirt road that led up to their studio. Previously it was reached only by Jeep.
At right, WTSK's original station identification, showing the 1953 Knoxville skyline between the Henley and Gay Street Bridges. WTSK originally broadcast shows from both the CBS and DuMont networks. DuMont did not survive the '50s.
"Stoney" Stonecipher, better known in some circles as a steel guitarist, was one of Knoxville's first professional TV cameramen. Here he works on a cooking show starring Jeanni Sparks, better known in some circles as an opera singer.
WTSK featured monkey shows, clown shows, cooking shows, country shows, hepcat shows, dance shows, always in hopes that there was someone out there who could pick up their UHF signal.
Bobo the Clown, with friends.
Ray Rose, another guitarist-turned-cameraman, known for his audio skills, with one of Knoxville's first color cameras. Rose began with WTSK, but later became WATE's longest-working staffer.
A WATE shoot at the opening of Market Square Mall, ca. 1961.
Due to a logjam of competition and bureaucratic tie-ups, Channel 10 was slow to arrive, but tried to catch up. Musician and former leader of Jim Early and the Westerneers, Jim Early became one of Knoxville's first TV personalities, first with WATE, but he later became one of WBIR's early local stars. Lighting his rocket is Carl Williams, another longtime newsman, who still lives in the area.

Archie Campbell—first known as a singer and radio comedian—hosted a daily show on WATE.
Acey Boy Wilson, Knoxville's first black TV host, ca. 1955. A DJ, he hosted an R&B music show that featured dancing.
The white dance show Sundown Serenade was reportedly low key.
The late-night nightclub-themed Penthouse Party sometimes had a bit of a vaudeville air.
Mary Starr, popular host of WATE's Homemaker Show for many years beginning in the '50s, cooked and sometimes interviewed celebrities, like Knoxville's own diva, the Met soprano Mary Costa, about the time she provided the voice for Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

Step 1: What you need:
Glue gun or some sort of strong glue
Magnets (you can buy them at wal-mart or any other craft store for really cheap)
Magazines or some sort of small image
Clear glass pebbles (also can be found in craft sections in mesh bags)
I can't wait to make some for myself.
Love the idea of gluing them onto the magnet itself first. sooo much less messy.
I got clear glass pebbles (big ones) and rare earth magnets from Etsy sellers too.
I used diamond glaze adhesive but any clear craft glue stronger than Elmer's will work. Diamond glaze is particularly nasty about building up on your fingers and costs a lot. Alene's works. Mod Podge works. These are cheap and readily available in lots of sizes.
The rare earth magnets are very small, about 4mm dia. A little small for gluing your image onto. So I glue the picture on the glass first, seal the back of the image (with glue), then paint black or gold nail polish over it to "finish" it. (If you don't seal it, the nail polish will soak through.)
After that's all dry, I attach the little magnet with super glue and lay it magnet side up to dry completely. Cyanoacrylate glue will give off vapors for a while, which will stain your surface if you put it on a fridge right after attaching the magnet.
I had my sheet of pictures printed out at a copy center on their color laser printer. I don't know if mod podge will cause inkjet to run, but I was making a ton of them and didn't feel like doing them twice.
Something those flimsy peel-and-stick magnets are good for, though: I got a digital collage sheet of "inchies", printed them out, had them laminated at a teacher supply store, cut them apart, and stuck the little magnet on the back. I sent them out as promotion items (stuck it in a little zippy and stapled that to my business card). They might not hold more than a coupon on the fridge, but people do tend to keep fridge magnets and they're perfect for this size.
I'm thinking next time I'll try using some of the colorful clay that dries solid, around the edges to make things a little cleaner. Other than that, this was a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
I just got some off ebay to do a similar thing. My wife and I collect fridge mags. from places we visit. Some places however don't have fridge mags. For example, the casino boat we went on recently. So I stole one of their $1 tokens and got some magnets to glue on the token! Here's a link to the ebay seller.

Quad City area libraries are offering teens an opportunity to hone their video skills this spring with the 2nd Annual "Teen YouTube Video Contest."
Between now and March 14, teens are encouraged to create a 3-5 minute video, using one of the following themes as related to their favorite book:
-a book trailer
-a missing scene/unwritten scene
Next, they can upload the video to the Quad City Libraries YouTube website: www.youtube.com/group/qclibraries.
Finally, to be entered into the contest, teens should submit an official entry form to their favorite library.
Entries will be judged by area library staff, and winners will be revealed at the 2nd Annual "Teen Film Festival Red Carpet Screening Event" at the Putnam Museum and IMAX® Theatre. Two winners will be chosen – one video as the "Librarian's Choice," and the another as the "Viewer's Choice." Both will receive a $100 cash prize. Other awards will be given to the makers of the most creative, entertaining, and best quality videos.
To help participants with their projects, there is a one-time workshop and numerous free, "Movie Maker Labs" scheduled at Davenport Public Library's Fairmount Street location (3000 N. Fairmount Street).
On Tuesday, February 17, at 5:30 p.m., teens can participate in a two hour, hands-on workshop, teaching them how to use video cameras, video-editing software, and other devices that will help them become the next great Martin Scorsese. There are also numerous "Movie Maker Lab" sessions on the following dates/times: Tuesdays, February 24 and March 10, from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.; Thursdays, February 26, March 5, and March 12, from 3 – 5 p.m.; and Saturdays, February 21, February 28, and March 7, from 3 – 5 p.m. The Labs are an opportunity for teens to work on their projects, using the Library's technology. All of these sessions are free for all Quad City teens.
The presentation of the "Teen YouTube Video Contest" winners will happen at the Putnam Museum and IMAX® Theatre on Thursday, March 26, beginning at 6:00 p.m. with a Premiere Party for teens. Beginning at 7:00 p.m., teens will walk the red-carpet into the IMAX® Theatre, where hundreds of local fans will be waiting to view the world premiere of their videos. More information about this grand event will be forthcoming.
The "Teen YouTube Video Contest" and related hands-on labs/workshops was created in 2008 as a way to promote "Teen Tech Week," a national initiative sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). This year, Teen Tech Week runs from March 8 – 14, and is aimed at teens, parents, educators, and other concerned adults that want to ensure teens are competent and ethical users of technologies, especially those that are offered through libraries. Technology includes DVDs, databases, audio-books, and videogames. Teen Tech Week encourages teens to use the Library's non-print resources for education and recreation, and to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted professionals in the field of information technology. This year's Teen Tech Week theme is "Press Play @ Your Library."
The "Teen YouTube Video Contest" is sponsored locally by Libraries Together, a consortium of the four public libraries in Scott County – Bettendorf Public Library, Davenport Public Library, LeClaire Community Library, and the Scott County Library System. Illinois Quad City libraries are also participating. Contact your local library for more details.

I went to VoTech school while in high school. my welding jobs were varied, starting as a helper on a natural gas pipeline, then welding on the pipeline. After that I was a production line welder for Theuer and Fruehauf. I went into the Navy in '84, not as a HT, but as a Boiler Tech. I have been a civilian marine engineer since 1992, and I weld on many different things onboard ship.

hahaha, they wont break him, they may teach him to Iron though, just kidding, just a Marine giving a future sailor boy a good ribbing. Ive been to the gas chamber so many times, Ive gotten used to it to the point that I go in without a mask on. Freaks out the new Marines, because the CS is like a fine hot sauce, and I have been known to lick my cammies when exiting the chamber. I got to admit the first time I got gassed it was a doosy, because some bozo panicked dropped his mask, and then grabbed mine off my face. As soon as he dawned and cleared his mask he was greeted with a middle finger. The drill seargents thrashed him, serve's him right.
What I do....Hmmmmmm
I am an ammonia refrigeration technician and "other duties as assigned".
I received my welding training primarily at WSOHK. The only other class I've taken was at the Construction Education Foundation where I teach HVAC advanced courses.

Software Engineer.
Interesting that miweldmi is also a computer science major, and is going to school just down the road from where I work (assuming he is in Ann Arbor).
I actually work in Dexter.
I go to U of M Dearborn because U of M Ann Arbor does not have night classes for the masters courses I need.

I'm an Airframe Mechanic for the USCG. I have mostly worked on the rotary wing side my whole enlistment. I also build and race circle track Stockcars as a hobby. I've got an AWS Cert. also. The USCG paid for it all. I do a lot of TIG on aluminum and stainless. We tinker with a little MAG here and there but it's a pain.

I"m a Process Systems Technician for a major book distribution center. I handle the routing, barcode scanners, and order picking equipment. I got into welding so that I could build an engine stand for single cylinder engines. I never did finish it, it's still sitting here, but since then I've started and finished several projects and repairs on equipment/vehicles. It is a butload of fun to see what can be done with a few simple tools and ideas.

Ha thats funny, but I'm also a Software Engineer.
I've been wanting to learn to weld for a while just because I like to wrench on cars and do a lot of stuff around the house and yard. I always saw the usefulness of it. I finally got a MM180 for xmas and have been doing some of the projects I've had in my head for a while.Millermatic 180 Auto Set

Post-Sandy:At a GOP primary debate in June 2011, Romney, when asked about FEMA's budget woes and how he would deal with it, had said, "Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that's the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that's even better."
During that debate, the moderator, CNN's John King, had gone on to ask if that included "disaster relief." Romney suggested it did.
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/r...-election.htmlAsked for clarification today, Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg said the GOP nominee wasn't implying he would get rid of FEMA, but rather that he simply wants states to play a greater role in disaster response.
"Gov. Romney believes that states should be in charge of emergency management in responding to storms and other natural disasters in their jurisdictions," Henneberg said. "As the first responders, states are in the best position to aid affected individuals and communities, and to direct resources and assistance to where they are needed most. This includes help from the federal government and FEMA."
Romney has proposed a budget that includes across-the-board cuts on federal programs, with the exception of defense and entitlement programs, as a way of curbing the growing federal deficit. But he has not said specifically where those cuts would be. Asked if FEMA's budget could be on the list for potential cuts, Henneberg did not comment.
Gotta give Romney credit, hes consistent about being inconsistent.

Hi I have a one year old Motorhome, the number plate lights have corroded beyond repair. I am waiting for the to be repaired under warranty. Does this mean technically my Motorhome off the road as I had already been informed one night that they were not working by a policeman?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for mechanics and DIY enthusiast owners of cars, trucks, and motorcycles. It's 100% free, no registration required.
It depends on the law in your jurisdiction - in the UK, it is illegal to drive any vehicle with any non-functioning lights - although this doesn't seem to be enforced much, jusging by the number of people driving round with only one working headlamp...
As you've used the British term 'number plate' rather than the American 'licence plate', I'm guessing you are over here, and so yes, your motorhome is technically not roadworthy until it is fixed.

This is part 1 of 3. Part 2 is posted here and Part 3 is posted here.
As you may know, I recently completed a move from Las Vegas to Philadelphia. The move has been in the works for a long time but it finally got under way in full force on Monday August 8th when my "pod" was dropped off at my house in Henderson (suburb of Vegas if you're not familiar). I woke up early on Tuesday and loaded up my pod with the help of the strongest person in the US (no, not kidding): Pat Mendes. In case you're wondering who Pat is, check out this article. After Pat helped I spent the rest of the day doing all of the annoying little remaining things related to packing. For my final dinner as a Nevada resident, I went with Pat and his coach John Broz (and John's wife) to the brazilian steakhouse Texas de Brazil at Town Square. It was delicious. They do the usual endless rounds of various meats and I enjoyed pretty much everything.
Day 1 – Wed, August 10th: Las Vegas, NV to Grand Junction, CO
The next morning I woke up for my 9am house walkthrough with the leasing company. That went smoothly and by around 9:20 I was headed to get some breakfast. At exactly 10:17am (I will explain why I know that in a second) I turned on the car ready to get on the road. My destination for that first day was Grand Junction, Colorado which is a town of about 100,000 just over the border from Utah in western Colorado. The drive mapped out at just under 8 hours and roughly 500 miles. I picked a medium distance drive the first day partially because there aren't a lot of decent places to stay in that region of the country and I didn't want to book a stay in Denver in case I got a late start from Vegas — driving all the way to Denver the first day seemed too far with the unknown variables in the morning (i.e., if the person from the leasing office doesn't show up on time). But I also wanted to make sure to get in some miles the first day so 500 miles seemed like a good compromise. It turned out to be perfect. I got in to Grand Junction in the late afternoon (remember that time jumps forward an hour going from PST to MST) and I had plenty of time to check in and then grab dinner at a place called the Rockslide Brew Pub which was right down the street from my hotel. But before I get ahead of myself, back to that whole 10:17am thing.
As you might remember from my prior blog entry with the driving test video, I bought a keychain video camera to record my entire drive across the country. I was planning on releasing the full footage as a torrent file (the files for this much driving are over 100gb in the keychain video format) as well as editing it down into a super sped up version and putting that on youtube. Everything started off smoothly — I turned the camera on at 10:17 (and I wrote down the time to make sure I changed the memory card in time and didn't run out of space), drove about 3.5 hours to Beaver, UT, stopped to get gas and, as expected, I had a bunch of files on the memory card. I decided to unload them onto a hard drive so I could delete them from the card and use the same card for the remaining 4.5 hours to Grand Junction. So I did that, started the recording back up and continued on my way. At some point in Utah, I saw a sign for a scenic overlook so I pulled over to check it out. I also checked on the camera. That's when I knew something was wrong. I tried to stop the recording but it appeared the camera was off. I tried to turn it back on — nothing (it's plugged into the car so it definitely had power). I checked to see if anything was on the card — nothing. So I had everything up until Beaver, UT but nothing beyond that. I finally managed to get the camera to appear to turn on and start recording so I started driving again, wondering if it was recording. I really hoped it was because I drove by this guy walking on the highway and I saw a bunch of other cool things. Alas, when I got to Grand Junction it was not recording and I played around with it for about an hour without much luck. There went my hopes of recording the whole trip. Which is really sad because Colorado was an amazing state to drive through.
So even though I don't have video, I did manage to snag some pictures of a wildfire north of Grand Junction. I could see it from really far away but it wasn't clear what it was until I got closer. I read about it a bit online and it said that it was started naturally by lightning.
Overall Grand Junction seemed great. The restaurant was good, people seemed nice, weather was perfect, hotel was fine, etc. I'd love to spend more time in Colorado (particularly, west of Denver) and I definitely plan on it. I'm not much of a skier simply because I've never really done it — I'd love to learn though so I'll try to get to that as soon as I can.
Day 2 – Thu, August 11th: Grand Junction, CO to Lincoln, NE
I woke up really early (5:45am) to get an early start. Day 2 was my longest drive of the trip at 725 miles from Grand Junction, CO to Lincoln, NE. Basically, I was driving almost all the way across both Colorado and Nebraska in one day. I was really excited for the first four hours or so which would take me through the Rockies on I-70. As you may know, this stretch is one of the most famous and difficult-to-build portions of the Eisenhower Interstate Highway system. I've seen TV shows about Glenwood Canyon before and it really lived up to the hype. It's an incredible drive and I highly recommend that everyone make it out there at some point if you haven't already. The rest of the Rockies were really awesome as well. Here's a picture from the Rockies:
I was amazed at how my car went from being a fairly high performance sports car at 4,000 feet to being a struggling vehicle at 10,000+ feet during the higher parts of the drive. At one point I was going along in a slower construction zone and I needed to downshift to get some acceleration because traffic had slowed and then started to speed up. I put it in fourth gear at around 40 mph figuring that would be more than enough to give me some oomph. Nope. I put it in third gear and it was still not quick at all! It's amazing what not having oxygen will do for an engine. Going through the Eisenhower Tunnel at 11,000+ feet was probably the highest I have ever been on land. And I think that most planes are pressurized to 8,000 feet so I think 11,000 feet is actually the thinnest air I've ever been in. I didn't notice any difference but I guess sitting in a car doesn't give you the full experience. I'm sure I would have had trouble running. Here's a screenshot of the altitude screen on my car's GPS system:
After descending out of the Rockies and going past Denver, I got off of I-70 and got on I-76 which heads up to the northeast corner of Colorado and merges into I-80 right around the Nebraska-Colorado border. I stopped for gas in the small town of Sterling, CO for gas and some food. I'd actually driven this stretch of I-76 only a few months before when I flew into Denver and drove up to Nebraska for ahh_snap's wedding reception in Oshkosh, NE. But I hadn't seen the rest of Nebraska so most of the state was new to me. It was not exciting. The post-Sterling aspect of the trip was about six hours (and prior to that was about five hours) so it was not a short day considering I only stopped once for a few minutes. But due to my early start, I managed to reach Lincoln between 6 and 7 PM despite losing another hour when I crossed into CST. On ahh_snap's recommendation, I went to dinner at Bisonwiches which is a divey college sports bar. The corned beef sandwich was really good though.
After that I went back to the hotel to get to sleep — I was pretty worn out after the ~19 hours of driving I'd done over the prior two days even though it was really easy driving overall. My next stop was Chicago! Here is a map of my first two days:

Rubens Barrichello from the Williams Formula One team was kind enough to answer some of our "hard hitting" questions, for our latest driver Question and Answer post.
What is your favourite part of the Albert Park circuit?
I love Albert Park as a whole. I love the atmosphere and arriving to see all the smiling people. Turns 11 and 12, the flying fifth gear corner left to right, is the best part of the circuit for me as it has a nice high speed flow.
What is your favourite restaurant in Melbourne?
There are plenty of good Italian restaurants in Melbourne and there is a very good meat restaurant near to where we stay; Australian meat is really nice. Australia is great for finding any restaurant from around the world.
What is the first thing you think of when you hear the words 'Australian Grand Prix'?
Happiness. I wish it wasn't as far away to travel to though. I am a Brazilian, but if someone asked me if I would like to live in Australia, I would say yes. It is one of those places.
Who do you think will be your biggest rival this season?
I think the thing that we are up against the most is ourselves. Our biggest challenge will be making everything work in the car. Your biggest rival on track will always be whoever is quickest on that particular day, but to make everything work well in the FW33 will always be our biggest aim.
What do you like about Aussie Formula 1 fans?
I like the fans in Australia a lot. They are great fans as even though they support Mark Webber they still have the freedom to have their Ferrari, Red Bull and Williams caps on and just be fans of Formula One.
What is your favourite thing to do in Melbourne away from the track?
I love playing poker at the casino!

I had ordered USDGC tickets when they were available back on Aug 18th.
Through an error somewhere on Innova's end they never got the order.
Sam Covington is sending me 100 by UPS and I should have them in time to bring to the PPIC2 this weekend.
Anyone who is interested can pick them up from me there, or NEXT WEDNESDAY at Wills doubles (i'll keep back 15)

Test ID: TAE
Therapeutic Antibody by Flow Cytometry
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detecting cell-surface antigens on malignant cells that are potential therapeutic antibody targets
Determining the eligibility of patients for monoclonal antibody therapies
Monitoring response to the therapeutic antibody
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Monoclonal antibodies are critical tools for detecting cellular antigens in various hematologic diseases and are used to provide critical diagnostic information. Monoclonal antibodies are also used as therapeutic agents in a variety of hematologic diseases. For example:
-Anti-CD20 (Rituxan): B-cell malignant lymphomas and multiple myeloma
-Anti-CD52 (Campath-1H): B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and T-cell disorders
-Anti-CD49d: estimates prognosis for B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients
This list will undoubtedly expand over time to include other antibodies.
It may be necessary to document expression of these markers by the malignant cells prior to initiating the respective monoclonal antibody therapy. Expression of these markers may also be required for follow-up to monitor the impact of treatment on residual normal counterparts (eg, CD20-positive lymphocytes in patients treated with anti-CD20).
The distribution of these cellular antigens is well established in normal, reactive, and in various malignant disorders. The laboratory has several years of experience with therapeutic antibody monitoring of Mayo Clinic patients as part of the routine B-cell, T-cell, or acute immunophenotyping panels.
For the most appropriate interpretation, the requesting physician must provide the laboratory with:
-The therapeutic monoclonal antibody being used or considered
-The pertinent hematologic diseases that have been diagnosed or considered
-Any pertinent protocol requirements
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Normal individuals have B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, or myeloid cells that express the corresponding cell-surface antigens in question.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The immunophenotyping report will summarize the pattern of antigenic expression on malignant cells and, if appropriate, the normal cellular counterparts that correspond to the therapeutic monoclonal antibody target.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A complete diagnostic B-cell, T-cell, or acute immunophenotyping panel will not be performed and must be ordered separately (LCMS / Leukemia/Lymphoma Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry). In some cases, a limited morphologic evaluation will be performed. This test should not be used as a shortened diagnostic panel.

Recent studies also show that women with a soy-rich diet have healthier bones and increased breast health. The diets referred to in these studies involve fermented soy (as in foods like natto, miso and tempeh).
EstroSoy Plus from Nature's Way is a unique dietary supplement containing fermented soy consistent with the scientific research.
The EstroSoy Plus Difference
Whole Foods Approach: EstroSoy Plus is made from whole soybeans fermented with a natural, proprietary process. Fermentation yields more isoflavones and a diversity of supportive nutrients including beta glucan and glutathione.
Enhanced Absorption: EstroSoy Plus delivers soy isoflavones (60% genistein, 40% daidzein) in their "free", unconjugated form for better absorption and more effective use within the body.
Non-GMO Soy: EstroSoy Plus is made from 100% natural soybeans with no genetic modification.
Standardized Black Cohosh: A popular herbal with estrogen-like activity, Black Cohosh is widely recommended by European doctors for menopause.
