Volunteer JDRF: Be The One
A special welcome video from the Department of Volunteer Engagement.
Volunteer Opportunities
From traditional volunteering…
Help at the Office
JDRF chapters welcome office volunteers with skills in data entry, organization, graphic design, writing/editing, mailings and the million and one tasks it takes to fundraise for the cure.
Work an Event
Each year JDRF needs a virtual army of volunteers to make our events truly special and our walks a celebration of grassroots fundraising. Whether you register guests at a gala, pass out t-shirts at a walk, help set up a silent auction, or greet golfers with hats and jackets, your one day of service can help make a huge stride in our fight to cure T1D.
Serve on a Committee
Most of our "behind the scenes" work is accomplished by folks who can commit additional time and resources to organize events and walks. We need leaders to head up committees for areas such as auction procurement, sponsorship, logistics, and planning. We also form committees that work in specific areas of Marketing & Communications, Corporate Development, and Research Information Volunteers.
Outreach is a critical program at JDRF, helping to connect newly diagnosed individuals and families with support and information on life with T1D. From the Online Diabetes Support Team to family mentoring programs and community health fairs, outreach volunteers share both information and hope in our local communities.
Young Leadership Committee
The Young Leadership Committee is a group of young professionals dedicated to raising funds and awareness for JDRF with events that are dynamic, energetic, and fun. The committee hosts various fundraising, networking, and social events that attract hundreds of young professionals between the ages of 21 and 40–with and without T1D.
Kids Walk
Champion a Kid's Walk and help inspire the joy of giving and serving while raising dollars the support both JDRF and your child's school.
To virtual volunteering…
Become an Advocate in our Government Relations Program
JDRF Advocates are individuals who are committed to keeping diabetes research at the top of the federal government's agenda. Making phone calls, sending emails and visiting elected officials help transform the future and move us closer to a cure.
Tell Your Story
Visit our "Who's Your Number One" site and share your personal story about how T1D has impacted your life.
To DIY (do-it-yourself) volunteer service…
Team JDRF
Whether it is climbing Kilimanjaro, producing your own bowl-a-thon, setting up a lemonade stand, competing in your first marathon or whatever you dream up – Team JDRF pairs your passion for a cure with grass-roots fundraising and the online tools to make it a snap!.
Donate Through Your Business
As a small business owner or professional, your skills and products can make a huge impact on JDRF's mission. You can make a gift of your printing or design services, contribute your photography skills, use your public relations firm to help get press for a chapter event, or donate a company product or service for our live and silent auctions. The list is endless!

Vargo Titanium Pocket Cleats
The Vargo Pocket Cleats are a front foot traction option for light hiking and running. I found that they are best for trail running on level terrain or for those interested in a lightweight backup traction device. I had the opportunity to test the Vargo Pocket cleats on the back roads and trails of the White Mountain region of New Hampshire. I found them to be well made and an innovative use of titanium. However, they were not well suited for all applications I tested them in. Ease of Use: The design… Full review
MSR Shift
A great little shoe in firm snow, not just for kids. These shoes are sold as youth snowshoes, but they perform very nicely for adults looking for light shoes in firm snow conditions (think spring in the Rockies). MSR lists these shoes as fitting youth up to 125 lbs and up to a Men's size 7. I took a bit of a gamble and ordered up pair as I was looking for a lightweight shoe (but still wanted good traction) for spring trips where you often carry your snowshoes more than wear them, but when you need… Full review
MSR Women's Revo Ascent
MSR has created a good all-around 'shoe which uses spans from a beginner to a serious snowshoer. Its flex, fit, grip, and heel lift bar create a solid product for those who want a tough, wide ranged product. This 'shoe works really well in a casual capacity, but is easily capable of handling hilly terrain or a serious excursion of a more dynamic trip. These shoes are an excellent choice for the novitiate who wants to grow to for the more experienced outdoor adventurer who needs a reliable, sturdy,… Full review
Fischer BCX 6
Nicely-made, burly construction with best-of-class NNN-BC torsional rigidity and ankle support. But made for big feet and ankles only, and the four steps involved in putting these on and taking them off could get tiring (and difficult to do on-trail). These are the nicest-made and burliest "new school" NNN-BC boots I've seen. They have great torsional rigidity and the exoskeleton actually provides superior ankle support (vs. the burly all-leather Alpina Alaska), which I can't say is the case for… Full review
Atomic Skintec Classic
A very simple, functional product. Atomic has nailed it here. Great kick, good glide, and no maintenance! Not a lot to say — they do what the manufactures says they do. Plain and simple. Full review
Yukon Charlie's Men's Trail Series 825
Broke apart in less than 10 short hikes...CRAP. Used them less than 10 times and the plastic broke and the entire foot piece came out still attached to my foot. Cheap construction...going to attempt fixing them, but would never buy another pair. Even some of the plastic on the decking cracked and broke off. Full review
Yaktrax XTR Extreme
I have to agree with several of the poorer reviews regarding this product. Not having a chain joining the two traction plates allowed them to move around causing the traction spikes to line up incorrectly on the foot. This constant movement of the plates also causes excess strain on the link that joins the chains to the rubber/grommet causing some of those links to start opening up. I bought these a few weeks ago to take along while snowshoeing so when trail conditions warranted, I could use these… Full review

U2 Might Still Release New Album In 2014
Through all the confusion, U2 has officially remained committed to releasing the LP this year, despite reports that he was not satisfied with the work. Now, thinking has again shifted, with the band feeling confident about their new material and going ahead with plans to put out the No Line on the Horizon follow-up this year.
Will U2 Fans Have To Wait Until 2015 to Hear the Band's New Album?
Sorry, U2 fans it seems you're going to have to wait a little longer for that long awaited album from the Irish band.
Listen to Paul McCartney's 'New' Single
Following his 2012 album spent revisiting pop and jazz standards, Paul McCartney is embracing the "out with the old, in with the new" philosophy. So much so that he named the first single from his forthcoming album, "New."

BENEZETTE – During his visit to Elk County on Thursday, Governor Tom Corbett emphasized the importance of public-private partnerships within the state's tourism industry, specifically relating to state parks, visitors centers and more.
"I think it's a wave of the future of the industry not just in Pennsylvania, but around the country, where we can get more bang for our buck if we invoke the private community," Corbett said.
He added by growing in such partnerships allows everyone to get a better product rather than just relying upon state tax dollars.

·Teflon pipe tape
·1½-inch diameter female-threaded PVC pipe adapter
·1½-inch diameter to 3/4-inch threaded PVC reducing bushing

·3/4-inch diameter short iron pipe nipple
·3/4-inch ball valve (It has also been suggested that a pneumatically modded sprinkler valve would allow for a faster and there for more powerful launch. I have no experience with this so for the sake of this article we will use the ball valve.)
·3-foot length of 1-inch diameter wooden dowel or broom handle
·Foot-stabilized air pump
Below is the diagram and the assembled materials.
SAFETY NOTE: I have received several comments regarding the use of Cellular Extruded Piping. In short - don't use it. It is not meant to deal with air pressure and could explode violently producing hundreds of deadly shards. I have not had this occur yet but if at all possible please use a better piping.
if you use smaller diameter pipe for the chamber then you can really push the pressure, i have a 1" chamber and can pressurize it to 200 psi .
Is there a way to build this in such a way to have multiple pipes shoot at the same time? Also, is there a way to build this so that the pipes are built to "shoot" at a precise time, like to music? Thank you.
I remember building one of these for a contest. How I set it up though I was able to hold it and shoot it off my shoulder. We want to get a "bazooka" effect and it worked out pretty well. There was quick a backlash from the kick, but that sucker launched.
Pretty nice pipe bomb.
ABS cannot be used for air cannons though, because it simply cannot hold the pressure. PVC is designed to hold pressures up to 500PSI+, depending on the pipe diameter. The trick is to keep the pressurized air chamber in a safe spot, or pad it against bumps. ABS can, and will, explode if you try to pressurize it.
Pnewtons Petards like this one are pretty safe as far as air cannons go.
Someone should seriously get a blast shield and attempt to blow up PVC and ABS pipes rated for the same pressure. That should settle the argument.
The question I have for you today is as follows: I am looking to build an air cannon with a 6.35mm(or 2.5in., for all of you ingloskiis who still use the English system) bore air cannon capable of launching a .5kg.(1.1023lbs.) projectile 200ft. at a 45° angle. For whoever wants to do the math, what modifications should I make to the specifications above?
depends on the pressure you intend to use. if low, id suggest making the chamber part longer. if high pressure, i think the original should be ok. but that is to be just enough, you may want more power right? maybe double the chamber? keep note that this also increase pumping time.

Family member discovers 74-year-old near boat, NRP leads investigation
The body of a Rockville man was found Wednesday night in the water next to his sailboat anchored at a Solomons marina.
John James March, 74, was discovered at 10:45 p.m. Wednesday beside his boat at Zahniser's Yachting Center on Back Creek in Solomons and was pronounced dead at 11 p.m. His body was transported to the state Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy Thursday morning, according to the Maryland Natural Resources Police, the agency conducting the investigation.
March spent his weekdays on his boat at the marina and his weekends back in Rockville, according to Candy Thomson, public information officer for NRP. When his family was unable to reach him Wednesday, a family member went to the marina and discovered the body, she said.
"According to the report, there were no visible injuries, and at this point, there does not appear to be any foul play," Thomson said. "But of course, the medical examiner has the last word on all of that."
The Calvert County Sheriff's Office and the Solomons Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene, Thomson said, but are not aiding in the investigation. The NRP is the lead agency, she said, because "it was a boating accident."

Top 10 Movie Cars of All Time
I'm not talking about just a quick, superficial job, but a hardcore scrubbing of everything you can reach. Shampoo the carpet and upholstery, excavate all the trash moldering in the trunk, remove the spare and get into every nook and cranny of the tire well, and remove the seat cushions and pick out all the petrified potato chips. If you have the technical aptitude, take out the front seats and vacuum under there. Clean all the grime from the engine bay and get under the car too.
This is a pretty obvious first step. But the cleaning pays off because all that time spent tidying up the car is also time spent inspecting it. This is your chance to uncover hidden problems.
"Focus on the area you're actually going to touch," Atlanta-area used car dealer Steven Lang says. "Start at the steering wheel and the dashboard. If the wheel is pitted or deteriorated, a simple $10 cover can make a big difference to how a car feels. A dashboard cover may be a good investment too."
Also check dashboard illumination. There are drivers out there who can't read their speedometers at night simply because the illumination knob has been dimmed for years through sheer inattention. If the knobs and switches are actually busted or worn-out, though, they can often be cheaply replaced with either new parts or recycled pieces found at a junkyard.
If the dashboard pad is faded, consider repainting or dyeing it. You're going to spend a lot of time staring at it.
And don't forget the fabric. One of Lang's favorite tricks for reinvigorating a car is to swap out the front seats for a pair he finds at a junkyard with fewer miles on them. "Seat foam breaks up over time," he says. "For $100 or $150, a set from a low-mileage vehicle can make a car seem new."

Sorry if this has been discussed but I did a search and came up empty. Years ago, when I was taking welding engineering classes, the instructor showed us a small book that was described as "the definitive welding industry guide" or words to that effect.
Of course, being the air headed student, I didn't pay much attention and never bought the book. Now, being more mature and thoughtful, I've re-considered and would really like to have a copy.
Any ideas what that book was/is?

Thanks for the responses, guys! Those look like some nice books but the only thing that sounds familiar is AWS.

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.

This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
This traditional American carol turns to Song of Songs 2:3 for inspiration; it uses the familiar apple as a emblem of the very tree of life, emphasizing that the promise we have in Jesus goes beyond the merely material to encompass our complete shelter, nourishment, and passionate joy.
BioLogos has been following a sermon series by Pastor Tim Keller entitled The Bible: The Whole Story-Redemption and Restoration." The book of Romans masterfully addresses the solution to the issues raised in Genesis.
In this essay, Godawa argues that the decreation language of a collapsing universe with falling stars and signs in the heavens was actually symbolic discourse about world-changing events and powers related to the end of the old covenant and the coming of the new covenant as God's "new world order." In this interpretation, predictions of the collapsing universe were figuratively fulfilled in the historic past of the first century.
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.

Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles
Strange street plaques embedded in the asphalt of major U.S. and South American urban intersections have been appearing since the mid-1980s. There are hundreds of reported examples. The cryptic four-line message of the Toynbee Tiles reads: "Toynbee Idea / In Kubrick's 2001 / Resurrect Dead / On Planet Jupiter". While the text on the plaques is clear enough, none of the numerous media outlets that have documented the phenomenon know what these tiles mean, how or why they were installed, or who is responsible for them.

Excerpt from the Chicago Sun-Times:
Don't look now, but the U.S. Senate might actually pass legislation that has a chance to significantly reduce gun violence. Some advocates of stronger gun laws were discouraged recently when the Senate dropped provisions to ban assault weapons and highcapacity ammunition magazines from legislation that will be considered starting next week.
But what remains — a bill that would expand background checks when guns are purchased and stiffen penalties for straw purchases — is perhaps the single measure that could do most to tamp down the shootings in America's neighborhoods. Mass shootings with assault weapons are awful when they occur, but over the course of a year, as we in Chicago know too well, far more Americans are killed by handguns.
We need universal background checks, because we need to stop making it easy for criminals to buy guns. Virtually all firearms start out as legal, but gaps in our laws allow guns to flow from legal to illegal hands. Under the "gun show loophole," no record keeping is required in private gun sales, which now account for two out of every five firearms transactions. A "straw purchaser," someone with valid credentials who buys guns for those who can't legally purchase them, can easily operate in the nether region where no records exist.
That's a huge loophole, and truckloads of guns are driven right through it.
The NRA opposes universal background checks. It helped push through a measure that prohibits the FBI from hanging on for longer than 24 hours to records of those who pass the existing background check system. That makes it hard to spot a pattern of straw purchases. Lawmakers should not be swayed by the NRA on this issue.

I hear a lot of stations are also adopting an "use cash for a rebate discount". Some are offering 5-6 cents off every gallon for cash payment because they have to pay the credit card companies a certain amount each time a card is used. Makes sense to me!

"Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men …"
(Psalms 107:8 *NIV)
Today we will look at the shortest Chapter in the Bible. It is located very close to the center of the Bible as well. Now the Chapter I am speaking of is the 117th Division in the Book of Psalms. Though it is only two verses of praise for our Heavenly Father, it gives us two big reasons to praise Him indeed!
Psalm 117
1. Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!
[Laud] means, "to speak very well of." The Hebrew word for [Gentiles] means all people except the Jews; thus this word means all other groups, along ethnic or language lines.
2. For His merciful kindness is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!
[Merciful kindness] refers to God's faithfulness to His Covenant promises, to His Children all over the World. Have you ever said to yourself, "I can't think of anything that God has done for me lately? Therefore how can I praise Him?" Well, this short Psalm gives us two big reasons to praise our Heavenly Father; His tremendous love toward us, and His faithfulness that endures forever. So just think, if God did nothing else for us He would still be worthy of our highest praise everyday!
Have a Wonderful Weekend, and may the Love of God fill your heart and mind, today and always!

Although Frabill does make the most durable landing nets, unfortunately the netting can eventually wear out. It's good to check your netting at the start of every season for frayed areas or weakened strands caused by normal wear and prolonged exposure to the elements. Frabill makes net replacement a snap. Choose from a complete line of replacement netting for most any size or brand of landing net. Frabill's higher quality netting is available in a variety of mesh sizes and styles to fit your style of fishing. It's that easy to give your old net a new lease on life.
To determine the size net that you need: Measure your hoop size width (smaller number) by length (larger number).

Bucs' Smith named to Lou Henson All-American team
Requires Adobe Flash
Saturday, March 26, 2011
BOSTON (March 25, 2011)
- ETSU senior guard
Mike Smith
(Vandalia, Mo.) has been named to the 2011 Lou Henson All-America team, as announced by CollegeInsider.com on Thursday.
The Lou Henson Award is presented annually to the top Mid-Major player in Division I college basketball. The award is named in honor of Lou Henson, who retired after a spectacular coaching career that lasted 41 years. When he left the game in 2005, he was sixth all-time in career Division I wins
with 779. He is the winningest coach at both Illinois and New Mexico State. He is one of only 12 coaches in the history of the game to take two schools to the Final Four.
Smith, who was the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year, currently leads the Bucs in scoring (17.9 ppg) and is second on the team in rebounding (6.9 rpg). He has scored 608 points this season, ranking eighth on the all-time single season list, while also netting 1,765 career points, which ranks seventh all-time at ETSU.
Rather than selecting a first, second, third team and honorable mentions; the Lou Henson All-America squad is just one team. The 2011 Lou Henson Player of the Year will be announced at the CollegeInsider.com awards banquet on April 1 in Houston, site of the men's basketball championship.

This thread is for programmers to pledge that they will participate in NANY 2010.
The Challenge
- Pledge that you are participating well before the New Year (you shouldn't just wait until Dec 31 to reveal whether you decided to participate or not); DECEMBER 18 is a good date to shoot for to pledge to participate.
- Release the application on or before 31st December 2009.
- Any type of application can be included: Windows, Linux, Mac, Web, iPhone, Android, Script, Plugin, etc., but it needs to be a new program that hasn't been released publicly before November 2009 (updates to existing programs don't qualify unless they are complete rewrites).
- You don't have to be affiliated with DonationCoder.com - you still get to announce it as part of the N.A.N.Y. Challenge: you keep all the rights to your software, this is just an event to encourage coders to release new free tools.
The Pledge
Feel free to tell us as little or as much about what kind of program you are planning on releasing -- but let's keep this thread just for pledges, not for discussions.
We'd like to encourage everyone who wants to participate to make a pledge to do so -- and to treat this pledge as a real promise to release something.
Mini NANY
We've decided to also have Mini NANY Pledges and Entries for those who would like to contribute something that doesn't quite fit as a full NANY. See the Announcement. For Example:
- Your entry is not substantial enough for a full entry (For example, I have an idea for a tiny little script that's a bit of fun, and something that's not on the same page as the other Entries).
- Your entry will not be completed (maybe these could be used as a partnership with other entrants?).
- Your entry is not a real NANY.
We hope that Mini NANYs allow even more people to join the fun.
What's Next?
- Volunteers can be found in the Offers of Assistance Thread that may be able to help you with your Pledge.
- Ideas can be found in the Program Suggestion Thread if you need some help with where to start.
- When you're ready to let everyone in on your idea, create a New Teaser Thread in the NANY 2010 Board.
- When you're ready to show everyone what you've done you can change your "Teaser" into a "Release", and manage the project in your RedMine space.
Thanks for all your Pledges: Made and coming

John Findlay Wallace and John Frank Stevens had two things in common: Both men served as chief engineer of the Panama Canal construction project, and both served a term as president of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) — Wallace in 1900 and Stevens in 1927. ASCE has since declared the Panama Canal, which opened in 1914, one of the "Seven Wonders of the Modern World" (in 1994) as well as one of the "Monuments of the Millennium" (in 2000).
The long, involved history of ASCE and the canal will enter another phase in October 2014, when ASCE brings its 144th Annual Civil Engineering Conference to Panama City in honor of the canal's 100th birthday. "We just started talking about [the fact] that it is one of the engineering feats," said Amanda Rushing, CMP, ASCE's director of conferences and meeting services, discussing why the canal made Panama a natural fit for ASCE's annual conference. "They're opening up several new locks. They're building a bridge. And the Panama Canal contributed to a lot of other historical feats besides just the engineering portion of it. [It was there that the United States] discovered how to cure malaria."
It was July, and Rushing was sitting in her office in ASCE's Reston, Va., headquarters, looking simultaneously at the past and the future of the Panama Canal. "That's why the French failed and that's why the Americans were able to succeed," she said, "because they finally found out what was causing the sickness, and how to treat it and prevent it. [The canal] is going to be a big part of the conference."
"Big" is a word that naturally attaches itself to the Panama Canal, the massively ambitious waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The project was begun in 1881 by the French, who largely abandoned it eight years later, exhausted from their attempts to cut a 50-mile-long, 30-foot-deep, sea-level passage through the mosquito-infested jungles and landslide-prone mountains of the Isthmus of Panama, in what was then part of Colombia. More than 22,000 laborers died — from floods, accidents, and, especially, yellow fever and malaria. The United States took control of the project in May 1904 — literally, after backing a rebellion against Colombia by Panamanian separatists, resulting in the creation of the Republic of Panama and the U.S.-controlled Panama Canal Zone, which was only turned back over to Panama in 1999.
The first chief engineer on the U.S. project, Wallace, formerly the chief engineer and general manager of the Illinois Central Railroad, lasted 13 months. He "seemed, almost from the beginning, defeated by the job and by the climate and terrain," Julie Greene writes in The Canal Builders: Making America's Empire at the Panama Canal. "He saw the unhappiness of workers, their constant flight back to the United States, and accurately evaluated the problem: not only were the men worried about yellow fever, but they felt that housing was inadequate, amusements and diversions were nonexistent, and food prices were much too high. And they were homesick."
Wallace's successor, Stevens, was also a railroad man, with stints as chief engineer and general manager of the Great Northern Railway and as vice president of the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad. He made it 20 months as the canal's chief engineer, but in that time had an enormous influence on the project, overhauling its railway system and successfully lobbying President Theodore Roosevelt to switch construction from a sea-level canal to a lock-based canal, which would use a series of dams and locks to raise ships to a 163-square-mile artificial lake 85 feet above sea level for passage through the isthmus.
Stevens resigned in 1907 and was replaced by Col. George Washington Goethals, never a president of ASCE but a distinguished military officer who served with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and who saw the project through to its completion in 1914. And while the U.S. team, led by chief sanitary officer William Gorgas, was able to nearly eradicate yellow fever and malaria by zeroing in on mosquitos as carriers of the diseases, about 5,600 workers still died during the 10-year, $375-million project.
Since its official opening on Aug. 15, 1914, the canal has become a crucial link in international maritime trade and tourism — giving passage to more than 1 million ships by the end of 2011. More than that, it helped usher the United States onto the world stage. "As a symbol of American efficiency, enthusiasm, and contributions to world civilization, the Panama Canal hovered over the twentieth century like a phantom," Greene writes. "It connected the acknowledged strengths of the United States in medicine, technology, and industry to expansionist aims and in this way helped make Americans more comfortable with their new role as a world power."
And the canal is about to get even bigger. In 2007, the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) broke ground on a $5.25-billion expansion project that will double the canal's capacity by adding a third lane of traffic and widening and deepening existing lanes. The project is scheduled for completion in 2015.
But before formally committing to the destination, in April 2012 Rushing and other ASCE executives — the executive director, the senior managing director of communications and public relations, the senior managing director of engineering and lifelong learning, and the then-president of the board of directors — attended the Panama Canal 2012 International Engineering and Infrastructure Congress, organized by ACP and Congrex, and supported by ASCE. "We went down to see how that was run, what kind of education they were having, what their turnout was," Rushing said, "and to look at the city and see if that would fit our needs. And then, what it was going to be like planning a meeting in a Latin American country."
The visit went well, and soon ASCE signed off on Panama City for its 2014 conference. This past April, Rushing returned to Panama for her first formal site visit, which included meetings with officials at ACP, who will be partnering with ASCE on the conference, and whose administrator, Jorge Luis Quijano, will serve as honorary chair. For obvious reasons, the canal will be a centerpiece of the meeting — hosting tours and site inspections, providing fodder for education sessions and historical presentations, offering its expansion as a case study of a "gigaproject" in progress, and more.
But ASCE isn't meeting

Gallery: Energy Generating Soccer Ball Brings Clean Power to Off-Grid A...
When the sun goes down many developing countries rely upon dangerous kerosene lamps, which emit hazardous fumes and generate 190 million metric tons of CO2 each year. Seeking an eco-friendly alternative to this trend, four Harvard engineering students developed the Soccket – a soccer ball that generates and stores electricity during play. Soccer is found in just about every African country, so the energy-generating ball has great potential to encourage healthy activity while producing clean electricity to light up the night.
The Soccket was designed for use in off-grid areas where electricity for interior lighting and charging cell phones is hard to come by. The ball works by capturing kinetic energy through an inductive coil mechanism, which works in a similar manner to those flashlights that are powered by shaking. As the ball is batted about, it draws a magnet through a coil, creating current that is stored in a battery.
According to the designers, the device weighs little more than a standard soccer ball, and 15 minutes of play produces enough energy to illuminate a small LED for three hours. The students are planning to use a buy-one-give-one model (similar to the BoGo light) to distribute the devices, selling them in western markets to subsidize their distribution to those in need.
Here at Inhabitat we're huge fans of designs that benefit communities, cut down on carbon emissions, and enable developing nations. The Soccket does all of that and brings fun into the mix by tapping the boundless energy of kids at play.

Amazing idea – great to see students turning their talents to looking at this issue. I'd have concerns over the cost and robustness of the ball – but at least someone is thinking out of the box.
It reminds me of the playpump idea that used the idea of kids playing to pump water http://blog.playpumps.org/how-the-playpump-system-works/
When you realise that 1.6 billion people in the world have no access to electricity you realise what a huge problem this is, and that we need people to think about how to overcome this situation
February 4, 2010 at 2:33 pm
What an amazing idea. With all the soccer being played we should
get a lot of energy.

Good Morning
Here is Tatiane from Brazil.
I´m really interested in houses as those built in Africa for soccer ball.
So is it possible to bring this house style to Brazil?
Please let me know more about it.
Thank you so much
February 3, 2010 at 6:07 pm
This concept has been around for a while, and it's interesting to see someone take it on, but often the cost of a normal soccer ball is out of the price range for most young children in impoverished nations. The ones they do have get beat up pretty quickly from normal play, and often times in North Africa I'd see kids playing with improvised balls in the streets made out of paper.
So unless this is a nearly indestructible soccer ball that collects kinetic energy for about the same cost as a normal soccer ball, this is really a waste of money. I'd think the investment would be better made in small solar arrays to replace the kerosene lamps.

Dear Friends and Customers:
It has been an amazing run but after 30 years of serving up fresh, creative and delicious popcorn flavors we have made a decision to close down operations at Madly Pop'n.
In the days and years between our first Valentine's Day in 1985 until our final holiday season in 2014, we have been blessed to help our customers show their gratitude toward others with creative one-of-a-kind gifts and snacks. It was always flattering when a customer would come into our store in Oak Park with a 20 year-old popcorn canister and have us re-fill the tin because our popcorn was part of their family's Christmas Eve tradition. Family members have always been the backbone of our workforce, but we have been blessed to spend time with so many fine young people and employees who made working long hard hours a joy. As I prepared to close our doors, the biggest smiles and belly laughs came from up-packing the memories of the good times spent with employees who seem more like family than employees.
We would like to thank you for your support and friendship over these past three decades. Saying goodbye is always hard…but the best is still to come!
Best wishes for 2015 and beyond!
Erik Claesson

Moore's TD catch helps Team USA win Rotary Gridiron Classic College All-Star Game
Saturday, January 25, 2003ORLANDO, Fla. (January 25, 2003) - East Tennessee State senior wide receiver Cecil Moore (Morristown, Tenn.) scored the first points of the 2003 Rotary Gridiron Classic College All-Star Game as he helped Team USA to a 20-17 victory over Team Florida Saturday. Moore, who was playing in front of a national audience as the game was televised on ESPN2, caught a seven-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter from Oklahoma quarterback Nate Hybl to give Team USA an early 6-0 advantage. It was Moore's lone catch of the contest before leaving the game with a hand laceration. Moore had 44 receptions for 682 yards and seven touchdowns in 2002 for the Buccaneers, leading the team in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns for the third straight season. Saturday's all-star game featured athletes from the state of Florida matching up against athletes from the rest of the United States. The game is one of six signature events produced by Florida Citrus Sports annually. Proceeds from the game benefit the Rotary Foundation and the Miami Project's national fundraising arm, the Buoniconti Fund to Cure Spinal Cord Paralysis. Over the last four years, the game has generated nearly $1 million for the Buoniconti project. Since its inception in 1999, the Rotary Gridiron Classic College All-Star Game has allowed 360 players from around the nation to showcase their talents in front of NFL scouts for a chance to play on Sundays. More than 300 of the players have been drafted or signed NFL contracts.

Great names all – including Paddins
He has the face of a boxer, the lilt of a Celt and the heart of an historic racing man.
He's Paddins Dowling, and that exotic-sounding name sits well in the history of the beautiful Maserati 4CL which he is driving in the Shannons Historic Demonstration and Parade this weekend.
The stunning-looking car is actually the first of the 17 4CL's built in Bologna just before the Second World War. "1564 – it's the first-ever, the prototype they made for Luigi Villoresi and Felice Trossi to race," says Paddins proudly.
The 4CL was intended to combat the speed of the Alfa Romeo 158 but never quite reached the heights it was intended for. One of the 17 – previously driven by great French competitor Raymond Sommer – took part in the first Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park in 1953. But back to #1564…
"It wasn't used that much even after the war so it's a really original car," he told us. "All the bodywork is original, the panels have all got the original factory stamp. I love it!"
We were keen to find out how Dowling's obvious love of historic racing began. "A long time ago, when I was 11 or 12, my uncle in Dublin was involved in the historic car scene over there," he explained.
"I used to go and work in his butcher's shop every Saturday morning, and Saturday nights we'd get his little Austin 7 prepared and we'd head on down to Mondello or some hill-climb over there and I got the bug."
Paddins has been in America for 25 years and now has dual citizenship – and some spare time. "Early on business life didn't leave much room for this," he told us, "because when you're getting established you have to focus. But over the past few years I've been lucky enough to get more time off than normal and I'm able to play with these old cars." The story of how the Maserati came into his possession is a sad one with a happier ending.
"A friend of mine in America, Rodney Smith, had a lovely collection," he explained. "Unfortunately he was killed a few years ago in a bicycle accident. I used to race a couple of cars for him and subsequently for his wife, and then after Rodney's death she kept a lot of the cars. I was lucky enough to be driving for her; she decided to sell a couple of them; this is one that I had a real yen for and she kindly sold it to me.
"I've raced it three times, once in Laguna Seca, once in Sonoma; we won those races and then Phillip Island last weekend was the third race for me so I'm still getting used to it."
That Phillip Island meeting left him with a brake circuit problem, but that was quickly fixed. "The smaller stuff I can easily do myself and actually love doing myself," he enthused.
"We were able to do that repair with the help of some great guys here. We got the master cylinder seals, we came up on Tuesday, popped it back in, bled the brakes, put the panels back on and she's ready to go!"
As for Albert Park, like all his fellow-competitors Paddins is keenly aware of his surroundings this weekend. "Lovely and smooth for a road circuit," he said. "It flows nicely. It's a real treat to be on a historic track like this and we're very lucky."

text: The De Pont Museum of Contemporary Art in Tilburg has its own unique approach. It's in no rush to draw as many visitors as possible and has no aspirations to be innovative at any cost. It would rather exhibit work that retains its significance over time. Hendrik Driessen, director and chief curator, has been running this internationally renowned museum for over 20 years with a very small team of people. "There is a kind of camaraderie. Everyone is proud to work here and is capable of fulfilling a variety of jobs in addition to his or her own duties. We occasionally bring in experts for special jobs. This creates an atmosphere in which everyone feels at home. And I like to extend that feeling to the visitors and the artists. In this museum we deal carefully with people, with works of art and with the conviction with which works of art are selected." How is leadership shown? "It is also shown in the work you exhibit, because that is opinion-forming. The art you purchase influences others; you make a statement with it. Understanding art requires an inquisitive mind. When I worked at the Stedelijk Museum, we developed an educational program in which people discussed a work of art together. Putting your thoughts into words adds structure to an amorphous process, helps broaden your view, and can lead to a different perspective on reality. It can sometimes be extraordinarily interesting not to tour the museum with an expert but to have a look on your own. In effect that's what I do when I buy something. In many cases, the role of the new work of art is still unclear and I have no choice but to follow my instinct." Can instinct be developed? "My frame of reference has developed over the years through the many things I've seen and experienced. That frame of reference makes it possible for me to see connections and establish links in a personal manner and gives me the confidence to defend decisions. Choices for particular works of art are made in various ways. Sometimes a piece that gives me a bellyache or irritates me ends up being the most interesting. 'Darn it, that's good,' is such a reaction. I always look for a key work of art, something that says everything about an artist or a particular era. But ultimately, it's the things that don't directly fit into a particular category that turn out to be the most interesting. And, of course, I've made the occasional mistake with regard to the importance of certain purchases. But, after all, I'm only human." As an opinion leader, are you also an artist? "No, that's not how I see it. Artists are unique, enterprising people because they make products that people don't really need. It's a lonely existence, and they carry on even if their work doesn't sell very well. Although art doesn't appear to mean very much to the average Dutchman, artwork can give us a push in another direction. It influences our perception of reality and is ultimately appreciated after all. Most of what remains of past generations and societies is art and unique architecture. Tourists are drawn to major cities mainly for their cultural offerings. People have a need to look at art. Art isn't nonsense; it is a very direct form of communication that can bridge centuries." Petra Baars, Project Coordinator (firstname.lastname@example.com)

We just switched over to Dr. Armour from another doctor and we LOVE it there. Despite the wait and also, normally it takes 2-3 weeks to get in, it's well worth the wait. Dr Armour (as well as his nurse practitioners) is a great doctor, he actually cares about his patients and takes time to listen to everything instead of just rushing off to the next appointment. Also very flexible when it comes to medication. There were a couple that were too expensive for me, and they were able to swap them out no problem with other brands that were cheaper. So I'm extremely happy with dr. Armour, I'm never going anywhere else ever again!

My family has been with Dr. Armour for many years now. He is a wonderful doctor and great friend. But the wait is to long and the staff is just horrible... Wake up doc get people in there that are at the very least semi proffesional and pleasant. The only reason that we have stayed is because of the doctor...

Dr. Armour has been my doctor for nearly 20 years. I trust him with any and all of my personal information. Recently he has not been as helpful and attentive as he used to be. He just hasn't been himself. Before I was able to ask him about and for anything and he would answer me in great detail and prescribe nearly anything to help me out as well. He used to joke and talk in detail about his personal life, but now he won't talk about anything personal and will not explain or answer in detail anymore. It is obvious his office has gone through recent changes because you only have to wait about an hour and a half instead of 2-4 hours. However his office staff is still very rude and disorganized. It saddens me to think of switching doctors after I've been with Dr. Armour for nearly my entire life but due to his non-affectiveness, lack of helpfulness, and rude and disorganized staff I'm basically forced to switch doctors :(

Dr Armour has been my Dr for more then 10 years. I really think he is the best, I could not imagine going to anyone else. although you make an appointment for 1:00 and are seen at 1:30 he is really worth the wait. I give him the highest score there is, but his girls in the front desk I give a 3. Dr Armour and his Physician assistants are the only reason I still go there.

Dr. Armour has been our doctor for many years. He is caring and attentive to underlying issues and emotional upsets that effect my physical health. He takes time to talk and visit and draw out the concerns that are under the surface. The wait is a little long, but I'm fine with that because I know he's giving the same attention to his other patients.

I love Dr. Armour. I used to be treated by him about 8 years ago brieftly, and then recently, when given the opportunity to change doctors/plans I looked him up and chose him. He has a great attitude, very funny and makes you feel comfortable. I do, however, have a huge problem with his staff. They are rude and unprofessional. They have NEVER returned a phone call and they screw-up my file and referrals. I hate to say it, but unfortunately Dr. Armour lends deaf ear to his patients dissatisfaction with his staff. Although I think he is great, his staff has been a deal-breaker for me and I will be switching doctors as soon as I can.

Dr. Armour has been my children's doctor for 11 years. Before him, I went through many pediatricians. My children are never afraid to go to the doctor when it's Dr. Armour they are seeing. Just the knowledge that they are seeing him is an instant comfort to them. No matter how long it's been since the last visit, Dr. Armour treats us as if we are the most important people in the world to him.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2161227].votes_count ]]
Dr. Armour has been my doctor for about 15 years now. He's great, and worth waiting for. If he wasn't such a good doctor, people would find one that would see them immediately. Sometimes you have to wait for various different reasons at his office. When you see him, you immediately know this person cares about you and what you've been dealing with. I have never had an embarrasing moment. He asks questions and wants to know how you've been and what's been going on. I usually show up for my appt. with a list of questions/requests for him. We are serious and discuss things, and then we laugh! If something major happens he refers you or takes care of it. I was worried to death about some tests last year. When the results were in, he called and left me a message at home telling me everything came back good and he didn't want me to worry. I so much consider him a friend. My husband & I even invited him to our wedding. He is my Dr. House. He will help you find the answer.
