Seven Hip-Hop Songs That'll Be Your Motivation
Seven Hip-Hop Songs That'll Be Your Motivation
So far 2013 has been a year that is about letting loose, having fun, and getting in great shape. There's no question that music is one of the best accelerants for energy, passion and strong will. Hip-hop is the genre that might be the best motivator. Maybe because a lot of hip-hop deals with real-life issues. Maybe it's because it's inherently aspirational. Whatever the reason, here are seven songs that'll keep your motivation levels high so get to sing along to "Started From The Bottom," and really mean it. Click through the list above and let us know what songs motivate you on Twitter!
1. Snoop Lion "Let The Bass Go"
Featured in the new movie Turbo—a film about the worlds fastest snail—this song is a great way to jumpstart your day. This electric anthem is sure to get you in the right mindset to speed it up, whether you're outside running or just getting errands done with the speed of a champion. Watch the video on YouTube.
2. will.i.am "#thatPOWER" ft. Justin Bieber
will.i.am and Justin Beiber's "#thatPOWER" is another high-octane offering. The former Black Eyed Peas front man's latest definitely has the power to get people up and moving, whether that on the dance floor or in the gym. A version of the song was also selected as the theme to this year's NBA playoffs, so you know it gets the heart pumping. Watch the video on YouTube.
3. Mali Music's "Ready Aim"
Mali Music's "Ready Aim" is a truly uplifting track. This is the type of song you turn to when you're having a rough day and looking to boost your outlook. One spin and immediately all ailments evaporate like rain the day after a thunderstorm. Watch the video on YouTube.
4. Daft Punk "Lose Yourself To Dance" ft. Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers
If Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams and Niles Rodgers' collaboration, "Lose Yourself To Dance," doesn't get you on your feet, we don't know what will. Daft Punk and the Neptunes' producer teamed up to make a song filled with nothing but good vibes. "Lose Yourself To Dance" is a song you play in your car, driving around on sunny day with the top down, screamin' out, problems ain't a thang.Stream it on YouTube.
5. Fergie "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)"
Fergie is another former Black Eyed Peas member who made highly energetic and uplifting music this year. She wrote the party anthem featured on the soundtrack to The Great Gatsby, "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)," featuring GoonRock and Q-Tip. If electronic music had been around in the Roaring Twenties this song would definitely been played at one of Jay Gatsby's legendary parties. This is definitely a song that makes you want to get up and dance.Watch the video on YouTube.
6. Jennifer Lopez "Live It Up" ft. Pitbull
With a little help from Pitbull, J-Lo's "Live It Up" has been motivating people to enjoy themselves and have a good time since it dropped. Jenny From the Block and Mr. Worldwide are two artists known for making fun, dance-friendly music. Listening to this track will definitely have your crew ready to live it up during those weekend adventures and nights out on the town. Watch the video on YouTube.
7. Lecrae "Mayday"
Lecrae's "Mayday" featuring Mississippi emcee, Big K.R.I.T. and Ashton Jones is one of the most inspiring hip-hop songs of 2013 so far.

I first stumbled on Pam Kueber's blog, Retro Renovation, a couple of years ago as we were renovating our 1961 atomic ranch home. Retro Renovation is a Mecca for anyone who appreciates celebrating mid-century style through home decor, and Pam is a guru for all things vintage. I was really excited to see how she transformed her home office into a vibrant space by creating a wall-to-wall crazy quilt using 18 different patterns of vintage wallpaper from her personal collection. The result is amazing. She shares her process for choosing papers, sizing, cutting the 277 squares and adhering them over on Retro Renovation as part of her series of posts on how she remodeled her home office. I must admit, I used to pass up vintage wallpaper remnants at thrift stores and estate sales, because I wasn't sure how to use them … this could change all that!

Cultural excursions provide students with an opportunity to experience the local flavor. Weekly outings, including admission fees, are coordinated on behalf of the group. These events are built into the program, and participation at each event is mandatory. With this in mind, cultural excursions are designed to fit into the program schedule and will usually take place Monday through Thursday in the early evenings, so as not to interfere with courses or weekend travel.
This is the only BBA program with a trip included. As part of the program, students will take a five-day trip to the Southern Chinese province of Guangdong where they will visit companies, institutions and production facilities.
Students will also be invited to experience a different China, and gain firsthand understanding of local cultures and customs. Transportation and accommodations are included as part of the program.

There's a whole slew of fresh couples in town, but that doesn't mean all the star relationships you love to love aren't still going strong, too. At last night's Costume Institute Gala at the Met, arguably the fashion world's biggest party, we spied muses and their designer dates—both old and brand-new—who we always look for on a red carpet.
Dakota Fanning got romantic with Louis Vuitton (we told you at least one Fanning would!), Camilla Belle slinked up to a silver Ralph Lauren, Florence Welch rocked that insane McQueen, and, unlike the grainy paparazzi pics of Us Weekly-staples holding hands, this love fest was fully documented by 1,000 lenses. Without further ado, we're dishing our list—a top 10 to be exact—of the stylish ladies who deserve the best-dressed crown. Breakups might be on the horizon, but right now, the honeymoon phase is in full effect.
Click through to see the 10 red-carpet looks that really brought it at last night's Met Gala—and pick your fave!

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Kristen Schaub A compact bookshelf speaker with a big voice NHT's Classic Two may look like a bookshelf speaker, but it produces the kind of high-end sound that'll fool you into thinking you're listening to a speaker several times its size. This big brother to NHT's acclaimed Classic Absolute Zero is capable of dishing out much deeper bass with more power, making it an excellent choice for high-end stereo systems. It'll light up any small- to medium-sized room with drop-dead accurate midrange and detailed highs. Just fire up a pair of these babies at your next listening session or movie night and bask in the "oohs" and "ahhs" of your guests. Solid design keeps sound-muddying vibrations at bay Like all Classic Series speakers, the Classic Two features an acoustic suspension (sealed) enclosure design. This means it uses air — nature's most perfect spring force — to control the woofer motion, allowing for clean midrange and low distortion. It provides plenty of strength to let the 6-1/2" polypropylene woofer rock out without adding any unwanted resonance to your music and movie soundtracks. The sophisticated 1" aluminum dome tweeter is set in a tiny bezel that allows the tweeter and woofer to be placed very close together. The result is exceptionally even on- and off-axis response, so everyone on your couch can enjoy the clear, sparkling sound. Classic looks help create a Classic system This speaker features a beautiful, curvaceous cabinet made of very dense, rigid MDF. It's covered in eight layers of high-gloss paint and two layers of clear coat that are hand-polished between each layer for lasting beauty. Place the Classic Two on your entertainment cabinet, or mount it on your wall using optional wall-mount brackets. The Two is perfectly matched to the rest of NHT's Classic line, so you can create a high-end audio system to meet your needs. Pick up a pair for your dedicated stereo music system, or use a combination of Classic Twos in the front of your room with the smaller Classic Absolute Zeros in the back of your room. Add the perfectly matched Classic TwoC center channel speaker to enjoy engaging dialogue and special effects with your movies and TV shows. And don't forget to pick up one of NHT's B-10d or B-12d powered subwoofers to get room-rattling explosions on movie night. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers.

The NHT Classic Two is great for your home theater application, as well as music listening. Two-Way Design: The NHT Classic Two bookshelf loudspeaker is a 2-way design using a custom designed 6.5" long throw polypropylene cone woofer & a 1" anodized aluminum dome tweeter. The tweeter features a small yet remarkably powerful neodymium magnet which keeps its physical size small so it remains in close proximity to the woofer (so they act like a single full-range speaker instead of two separate sound sources). "Wunder Bar": The tweeter uniquely mounts in the cabinet using a NHT developed device called the "Wunder Bar". The "Wunder Bar" is a solid aluminum bar approximately 6" x 3/4" that is screwed to the back of the tweeter and then to the back of the speaker cabinet. Besides holding the tweeter in place it also "heatsinks" or cools the tweeter and also provides another cabinet brace. Acoustical Waveguide: The Classic Two's tweeter & midrange utilize an acoustical waveguide to deliver, more even high frequency response, no matter what part of the room you're in. Crossover Network: The Classic Two uses a carefully engineered 2nd order crossover (high-pass & low-pass at 3kHz) to divide the frequencies between the woofer and tweeter. Voice Matched: All Classic Series speakers share a similar "voice" or tonality so that you are assured a matched system no matter which Classic model speaker you decide to add as you build your system. Enclosure Design Acoustic Suspension: The NHT Classic Two bookshelf loudspeaker features an Acoustic suspension design (sealed enclosure with no ports or holes in the cabinet). The NHT Classic Two uses the air that is trapped in the cabinet to control and damp the woofer cone motion. The benefits of an acoustic suspension cabinet design include - tight, accurate bass smooth, natural midrange low distortion high power handling smooth bass rolloff (an important benefit when blending speakers with a powered subwoofer seamlessly) MDF Cabinet: The NHT Classic Two's cabinet and front baffle is constructed from MDF. Additional internal bracing ensures low resonance. Detachable Grille: The speaker comes with a removable cloth grille with a rigid plastic frame. Connections 5-Way Binding Posts: The bookshelf loudspeaker is equipped with one pair of sturdy 5-way nickel-plated binding posts to ensure a secure connection to many types of speaker cables and connectors. The binding post terminals will accept banana plugs (dual/single), pin-connectors, spade-connectors, and bare wire (16-12 gauge). Color-Coded: The 5-way binding post terminals are color-coded so you can easily indentify positive (red) and negative (black). Mounting Options Placement: The NHT Classic Two can be placed on stands, on shelves or hung on the wall. Given the high performance of this model, NHT recommends placement on either stands or on a shelf at close to ear level to achieve maximum fidelity. Feet Rails: If you decide to place the speaker on a stand or shelf, the included feet rails must be attached to the bottom of the speaker (hardware included). Wall-Mounting (Optional): The NHT Classic Two has two threaded inserts (1/4"-20) on the rear of the cabinet for wall mounting, using an optional wall-mount bracket (sold separately).

We're pretty sure we'd follow Chelsea Leyland anywhere she goes. Not only is she New York's hottest DJ with a hip, edgy style all her own, her boyfriend Ben Pundole from The Surf Lodge just opened up Ruschmeyer's, a sweet new hotel, bar, and restaurant in Montauk that's for a decidedly anti-upper east crowd. This eclectic joint stays true to its earlier days as a summer camp by featuring bubble wands, ping pong, and airplane kits, but also features fresh, sustainable Montauk seafood and organic wines—certainly better than what we got at camp! We asked Chelsea to snap some photos for us at Ruschmeyer's opening weekend, which will tide us over until we can get out there ourselves. Click through to see the awesome party pics, and start making room in your schedule to head out east ASAP.

2013 Tassajara Fire
Posts on the 2013 Tassajara Fire
Summarized Status
July 24
See summary article and slideshow in Sangha News:
Fire Returns to Tassajara
July 23
Fire is 100% contained.
Tassajara is fully open and receiving guests.
July 23, 6:20 pm
Official word is that the Tassajara Fire will be 100% contained as of this evening. While there have been a few hot spots today that are still getting doused with water from helicopters, fire crews have been mostly working on clearing debris and cutting downed trees so that they do not become future fire fuel and won't create logjams in the Tassajara creek during the winter storms.
Everyone is delighted that guest season is once more in full swing. Aside from the fire trucks still in the Tassajara parking lot, there are few indicators that anything unusual had happened recently in the valley. The fire crews' presence is noted mostly when they pass through the monastery grounds on their way to the fire site. Earlier plans to have 20 "mop-up" crew members stationed at Tassajara have been changed by the USFS, as they did not want to impose an additional burden on the community now that we had fully reopened to guests. The Tassajara staff appreciates the consideration and support of the USFS, and would have also welcomed the opportunity to host the crews further given all they have done. Once again, deep bows to the USFS and CalFire fire crews. May they be safe and out of harm's way as they turn their attention and efforts now to other fires in California.
And speaking of other conflagrations, Tassajara was not the only Zen community affected by fire this week. The Yokoji Zen Mountain Center near Idyllwild, CA was threatened by the Mountain Fire, which started July 15. While that fire is now reported as 85 percent contained and did not burn any structures of the monastery, Yokoji sustained significant damage from related flooding. SFZC is keeping Yokoji and its residents in our hearts and minds as they begin the hard work of recovering from the impact of the flood waters.
The accompanying image is a USFS elevation map of the burn area of the Tassajara Fire.
July 21, 9:50 pm
Sunday Evening Fire Update:
Almost there! The official word this evening is that the fire is 95% contained, while personnel on the ground say it's effectively 100% contained. Helicopters will continue to dump water on any flare-ups on Monday, although USFS Captain "Doc" Murdock reported that the fire is not smoking anymore. Given the high degree of containment, crews began today the work of "suppression repair, trash backhaul, patrol and mop-up."
The Tassajara road is officially open as of Monday, with no restrictions of any kind on travel. The USFS have begun pulling resources to other fires, but there will still be crews in the valley for the next several days to monitor the fire until it is completely out. Because of the continued presence of fire vehicles in the parking lot, Tassajara will have valet parking during this time ("Valley Valet?"). Signs instruct guests to drive to the work circle, where the shop crew meets them, and drives their cars to the flats. We're delighted to have the valley full of guests again.
Tassajara Director Linda Galijan noted that all the fire personnel she has spoken with feel very good about the response to the fire—including bringing in helicopters and planes and personnel immediately, and in force—as well as about the current status of the fire. Linda also mentioned how careful and kind the fire personnel have been with Tassajara. This seems in part to be a personal expression, given that so many people love Tassajara. And then there may also be an element of the political, as many are still conscious of decisions by Incident Command during the
2008 Basin Complex fire
that left Tassajara without crucial support. (See the book
Fire Monks: Zen Mind Meets Wildfire
, by Colleen Morton Busch
, for an account of events surrounding the last wildfire.)
Regardless, Tassajara is deeply grateful for the all-out effort that has been made to protect the community this time around. We know that fire will return to the Ventana wilderness and to Tassajara, and it is Zen Center's ongoing intention to work collaboratively with the Forest Service and other government agencies whenever this happens again to ensure the safety and well-being of the monastery, the residents and guests, and the courageous crews who engage the fire.
Speaking of people who love Tassajara, CalFire Captain Stuart Carlson (and former Zen student) came by today for a visit. For many years Stuart has come each summer to assist in training resident fire crews, evaluate Tassajara's emergency protocols, and offer first-aid training. The residents were happy to see him again and welcome back our dear friend. He had been assigned to a fire elsewhere in California or he would have joined us sooner.
The accompanying photo is of the fire crews heading to their trucks after another long day. They look not unlike Zen monks engaged in walking meditation ('kinhin') up the road. May they have a restful night.
July 21, 8:30 am
Sunday Update
— Today is the fifth day of the Tassajara Fire, and the fire containment is now about 90% as of Saturday evening. The Inciweb.org site reports that the remaining 10% is in an inaccessible area, and that updated mapping shows the fire to have burned a total of 213 acres.
Yesterday crews continued their effort to draw the fire lines to a close and called on helicopters to drop water whenever spots flared up. One firefighter sustained a chainsaw wound to the hand and was airlifted out of the area and taken to the hospital.
The USFS said that the ability to fly crews in again on Saturday was a tremendous asset in boosting fire line construction and reducing the travel time and exposure for the fire fighters. The crews are expected to continue making great progress today towards total containment, which is expected by Tuesday, July 23.
Tassajara Director Linda Galijan said that SFZC Central Abbot Myogen Steve Stücky and Berkeley Zen Center Abbot Sojun Mel Weitsman arrived yesterday in preparation to ordain one of the monastery residents as a Zen priest in a special ceremony this evening. At dinnertime last night the two abbots "hung out with" some of the hotshot crews who were apparently really enjoying all the chocolate chip cookies and bread the residents made especially for them.
Linda reports that while the hotshots may be on their way soon, there will still be helicopters ready to drop water and, of course, continue to monitor the situation for a few more days. The USFS will start pulling resources on Monday, as there are several other major fires in California that need attention, including the Mountain Fire near Idyllwild in the San Jacinto Mountains, which earlier this week threatened Yokoji Zen Mountain Center. The Tassajara road is currently open between the hours of 10 am and 6 pm. All non-fire-personnel traffic is strictly limited to this window of travel.
Many deep bows and mountains of gratitude to all the fire personnel for their tremendous efforts. Today's photo is of Michael McCord—Tassajara resident, Head of the Meditation Hall (Ino), and "fire monk" in training—who got permission to check out one of the USFS fire trucks.
July 20, 8:30 am
The day begins with good news! While the weather conditions Friday afternoon were more dangerous than anticipated, the fire crews were able to persist in continuing to further reduce the fire. Ground personnel ("the ones who really know") say now that the fire is approximately 60% contained. Fire personnel will work further today to hopefully bring the containment to completion. As an ongoing safety measure, a USFS Fire Crew will again be stationed in Tassajara for the purposes of structure protection.
Because of this positive news, the Incident Command has permitted open travel on the Tassajara road strictly between the hours of 10 am to 6 pm (Saturday, 7/20) and Sunday (7/21) and perhaps for a couple of days further. Vehicles must be completely off Tassajara Rd. before 6 pm. Non-fire personnel traffic outside this timeframe will not be permitted, for safety measures, as a convoy of fire vehicles are traveling during the morning and evening times. In any case, we're very happy to report that it looks like Tassajara will be open once more for guest arrivals as of Sunday.
Tassajara Director Linda Galijan says that because of the significant percentage of containment now, the USFS anticipates starting to pull resources on Monday to attend to other fires in California. Apparently the conflagration level is ahead of schedule this year due to low precipitation levels. Looks like fire personnel will have a very busy fire season. May they all be safe from harm.
Linda also said that the USFS plans to station a "mop up" crew of 20 at Tassajara for several days starting the beginning of next week. They will ensure that all embers are out, finish clearing up fire-fighting debris and equipment, and attend to any remaining wilderness clean up. They will camp out at the "flats," use the monastery hot springs and eat with the residents. Tassajara is delighted to be able to host the mop-up crews and have the opportunity to spend more time with these hardworking men and women.
We'll continue to post regarding further developments, including—we hope—announcement of the full containment of the fire. We extend our continuous deep gratitude and bows of appreciation for all the support, well-wishes and generous expressions of love and concern. Tassajara and SFZC feels greatly blessed with the bodhisattva care, love and attention of so many during this time of uncertainty and challenge.
Included here is a photo of Tassajara Work Leader Allison Tait with several fire "hotshots." If you look closely, you can see that her T-shirt reads, "Imagine the world with more Zen."
July 19, 7 pm
Friday, early evening update — With recent changes in the weather conditions (hotter and windier) Maeva Juarez, the Incident Command-in-Training, told the Tassajara Director that she was apparently less optimistic earlier this afternoon about making significant progress on fire containment today. (Reports strangely vary between 5-55%.)
Last night a log rolled downhill and started a new fire that burned five acres, growing the total burned to 174. Consequentially, crews will not "spike out" (camp near the fire) tonight as originally planned because of the danger to the crews from rolling material and snags, but hike out at the end of shift today. Inceweb.org reports that "crews continue to be challenged by the steepness of the terrain, potential for rolling material, poor radio communications in the steep canyons and difficult access. Helicopters continue to support the ground crews with water drops, as isolated islands and snags within the interior of the fire's perimeter continue to burn."
The IC is being more conservative about when the road might open and is now saying that it may not fully open until Monday, rather than Saturday as had originally been thought possible. All is unpredictable and subject to change . . . once again the fire offers a primary teaching in Buddhism.
We hope to have another report from the Tassajara director either later this evening or mid-morning on Saturday. Again, we extend our deep wishes for the well-being of the fire crews, everyone in the monastery, as well as the wildlife in the wilderness.
July 19, 11:16 am
Still awaiting news of the fire's status this morning (Friday), although last night, Incident Command-in-Training Maeve Juarez told Tass. Director Linda Galijan that the fire was now about 55% contained. There were 7 crews (20 each) in all d
ay yesterday and are returning this morning. There is hopeful expectation that the fire may be 100% contained within the next 24 hours.
Head of Practice Greg Fain shared that "it's all pretty quiet. We hung out with the hotshot crews after they came out yesterday—they were very dirty, very hot, and very tired. We all had lots of questions for each other. The fire burned in "fingers," and they were going around each finger with fire lines, rather than outlining the whole area, which is the best way to do it, but means a lot more work.
SFZC and Tassajara want to once again extend our deep gratitude to the numerous CalFire and USFS crews who have been diligently attending to this fire. We acknowledge and are indebted to their courage, skill and deep concern for the well-being of
Tassajara and its residents/guests as well as of the beloved Ventana wilderness. We appreciate being able to work in partnership with the fire crews to take care of these treasures.
A separate photo album that includes images of many of the fire crews has been posted on Facebook.
July 18, 8:30 pm
As of 8:30 pm, no further updates at the moment, but one fire tracking website has stated that the fire is now 40% contained. May it be so.
Greg Fain, Head of Practice for the monastery, reports that at one point today there were 28 firefighting trucks in Tassajara at the same time. Tonight they're all leaving but for one crew of hotshots.
So for now, we wish you all a goodnight and leave you with this image of the moon (a symbol of enlightenment in Zen) rising over the valley as a vigilant helicopter finds its way home at the end of a long day. May all beings be safe and rest in ease.
July 18, 5:37 pm
Mid-afternoon update on the 2013 Tassajara Fire — A USFS captain at Tassajara said that today is the critical day, and that 2 - 6 pm is the critical time for the fire--the time of day when the fire has the most potential to spread (due to heat of the day and increased afternoon winds). Helicopters are flying back and forth pretty continuously, dropping water and fire retardant (but avoiding getting retardant in the creek). Fire crews continue cutting fire lines and clearing brush in the difficult-to-navigate terrain. Earlier this morning, it was reported that the fire is about 15% contained, but that many lines are still open. They are working to completely contain the fire with fire lines. By early this evening, they expect to have a much clearer sense of what the situation is likely to be tomorrow.
Some service vehicles are stationed on Chews Ridge, while others are in the Tassajara parking lot, including a few Forest Service vehicles. There's also a USFS engine crew and another crew from Cachagua stationed at Tassajara to provide structure protection (as a precautionary measure). Bryce Nason, the son of our long-time neighbor, dear friend and Esselen tribe member Little Bear Tom Nason, is part of the crew.
Between 2 and 3 pm this afternoon the road was held open by fire crews for guest departures via convoy. While a majority of guests have elected to leave in the last two days, some 20 are staying on in the valley, along with 68 students. Air quality in the valley is apparently quite good despite the proximity of the fire. A USFS captain told said that the road is definitely closed for tomorrow (Friday), with a window again from 2 - 3 pm for further departures. There's a 50% chance that the road will be fully open by Saturday afternoon for guests to re-enter.
Tassajara Director Linda Galijan reports that the mood in the valley is very calm and peaceful, and residents are just carrying on with work, practice and our usual schedule. Everyone has been completely willing, open and flexible about meeting any and all requests the arise moment by moment. The remaining guests seem to be enjoying themselves as well. They ask questions and are interested in what is happening. The guests, too, seem to be practicing in the spirit of Zen. Asking, "What is this?"...and then relaxing with a open mind with what is.
May everyone continue to be safe. We hope to be able to post a further report later this evening.

July 17, 8:42 pm
Update on the Tassajara Fire -- Tassajara director, Linda Galijan, just met with Pete Harris, Fire Incident Commander. They dropped 8 firefighters near the fire by helicopter earlier this afternoon, they worked for awhile, and walked out. Pete says that the fire is generally laying down well; however, the terrain and access are making it difficult to fight the fire, which is located around the confluence of Church and Tassajara Creeks. The area burned in 2008, so there are lots of dead trees, and they are falling and making passage up the creek difficult. Helicopters just stopped flying for the night.
Early tomorrow morning, eight fire crews (20 persons each) will be dropped in by helicopter (they made landing pads near the fire for the purpose today). Pete expects fire crews will be working through tomorrow, and maybe the next day. They are not currently expecting crews to encamp at Tassajara. We don't yet know what any of this means for Tassajara Road, and whether anyone would be able to come in tomorrow, or by what time. We should know more in the morning.
July 17, 7 pm
A fire of approximately 200 acres is currently burning in the vicinity of Tassajara, several miles away. Four air tankers , five helicopters and over 150 fire personnel are working on the blaze that broke out about 1pm this afternoon. The
y are dumping lots of flame retardant and water, and beginning to engage the fire by hand, and it seems to be settling down. There are also plenty of fire personnel at Tassajara, although Tassajara is on voluntary evacuation alert. Guests and students who felt inclined have left. Greg Fain, Head of Practice, says that he feels "very safe" and not too concerned.
Interesting timing, as the July 10 was the 5th anniversary of the 2008 Basin Complex fire that passed through Tassajara five years ago.

The Micron Technology Foundation announced a $1 million gift to the University of Idaho to fund an endowed professorship in microelectronics in the College of Engineering. The gift from the Foundation will support the UI's College of Engineering as it continues to grow its leadership position in microelectronics education and research. The gift brings the College of Engineering within reach of its December 2014 $15 million dollar Inspiring Futures goal.
"One of the missions of the Micron Foundation is to help cultivate the next generation of scientists and engineers. The impressive work being done in UI's College of Engineering is helping accomplish this objective," said Micron CEO Mark Durcan. "We are pleased to be able to contribute to UI's microelectronics program as part of our support for STEM education in our state, country and around the world."
The Micron Foundation gift is unique in that it establishes the first fully-funded endowed professorship at the College of Engineering. An endowed professorship awards faculty members who have notable achievements in research, teaching and outreach, and provides compensation and funds to support students, travel, and other research costs. Earned interest on the initial investment will allow for the professorship to reside at the university in perpetuity.
Dr. Fred Barlow, current chair of the electrical engineering department has been selected as the first recipient of the Micron Professorship in Microelectronics. Barlow is internationally recognized in the field of electronic packaging with more than 100 publications on the subject. Barlow is a Fellow of the International Microelectronics and Packaging Society (IMPAS) and a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
"Micron has made a significant investment in the University of Idaho over the last few years which has led to a strengthening of the microelectronics program at UI. This Endowed Professorship is an opportunity to take this collaboration to a new level that will benefit the university, the company, and students throughout the state of Idaho," says Barlow.
The Micron Professor in Microelectronics will help enable the College of Engineering to attract and retain outstanding faculty members to provide leadership, teaching, and research in key areas of interest to the microelectronics industry.
"Endowed faculty positions enable us to support very talented faculty like Fred who are leaders in teaching and research," said Larry Stauffer, Dean of the UI's College of Engineering. "They create a ripple effect, attracting other bright faculty and students. This is valuable for Idaho's economy."
The Micron Endowed Professor in Microelectronics will also head up the Next GenerationMicroelectronics(NGeM) Research Center in the College of Engineering. NGeM is a new interdisciplinary research center with faculty from electrical and computer engineering, mechanical engineering, materials engineering, and mathematics.
The mission of the center is to provide an environment for faculty and students to expand and develop the entire range of expertise associated with microelectronics from applied mathematics to materials science and electronic packaging. It also educates students to be future leaders in the microelectronics industry, which makes the center's relationship with Micron all that more valuable.
"The microelectronics industry plays a key role in the economy of Idaho and the Pacific Northwest," said endowed professor Barlow. "Students that receive degrees in this field are well positioned to contribute to the industry while pursuing a rewarding career. Since this industry faces a number of technical challenges and has a need for well-educated employees, the NGeM center will help create the next generation of leaders for this industry while assisting with some of the key technological barriers."

Softball one win away from advancing to NCAAs
Saturday, May 10, 2003Chattanooga, Tenn. (May 10, 2003) -- In dramatic fashion, East Tennessee State scored a run in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat Chttanooga, 1-0, in the championship game of the 2003 Southern Conference tournament. As Chattanooga was previously undefeated in the tournament, the two teams must play a second and deciding game to determine the winner of the tournament. The Mocs stranded eight runners, hit into two double plays and commited three errors. The determining factor was errors committed in the final half inning. With bases loaded, Chattanooga's Awbrey Winckler coaxed a ground ball out of East Tennessee State's Dani Spetar (Knoxville, Tenn.), but the throw to home for a force was dropped and the Bucs scored the game's only run. Tiffany McVay (Soddy-Daisy, Tenn.) (13-9) picked up the victory for the Bucs, tossing seven innings, allowing seven hits and striking out three. Winckler (21-15) suffered the loss for the Mocs on the mound pitching six innings allowing only one run, which was unearned. She struck out three and walked four. The final and deciding game of the tournament began at 2:15 on Saturday at Frost Stadium. The winner of the game will earn the Southern Conference's automatic bid to the 2003 NCAA Softball Tournament.

1) I would really like to be able to get more involved in the financial part of he club. I imagine it could be done by implementing a new "Chairman-Manager Mode" or something like this. I know that's a difficult thing to implement, but it will add a great amount of depth to the game. Just think about investing yourself into stadium/training facilities etc.
2) I would also like a view from above of the stadium area. This, in connection with the possibility to expand the stadium add bars and pubs, ticket shops and so on would be great (like in Ultimate Soccer Manager series).
3) SI should really think of something to do with the money earned as manager.
4) I would like to be able to create yourself some setplays. It's really something when you see your players scoring from setplay routines created by you.

Next week, governments from around the world will decide whether to put strict controls on Syngenta's highly toxic herbicide paraquat — or maintain the status quo.
This pesticide has long been banned in its country of origin, Switzerland, and its use is highly restricted in most industrialized nations, including the U.S. Yet it continues to be sold indiscriminately in developing countries where farmers and workers often cannot read technical labels and are unable to protect themselves from the pesticide's harmful effects.
Last week, the Chinese government officially announced that the country will phase out use of Syngenta's paraquat, an herbicide linked to Parkinson's, cancer and reduced fertility.
The official announcement stated that the ban had been imposed "in order to protect the health and safety of the people" and gave a phaseout timeline of four years.
Pesticide use on the massive palm oil plantations throughout Asia and the Pacific is putting the health of communities and agricultural workers at risk. This week, PAN's office in the region will press palm oil companies to stop use of the most dangerous pesticides, including the infamous herbicide paraquat.
PAN's resolution and petition will be presented on March 8 to the meeting of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), an organization made up of companies that produce, market, invest and trade in palm oil, as well as environmental and other nonprofit organizations. The list of companies involved includes U.S. giants such as Cargill, Nestle, and Unilever.
My grandfather's Parkinson's was pretty far along by the time I knew him. I remember as a 4-year-old straining to understand his tremoring voice which — when combined with his thick Swedish accent — was almost impossible for me and my sister to understand. Even as a small child, I could tell it broke his heart.
In a study released last week, researchers explain exactly how pesticides can interact with the brain to trigger this incurable disease. Their findings may help prevent and treat Parkinson's for future generations.
A combination of commonly used pesticides can triple the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD), according to a new study released last week in the European Journal of Epidemiology. People who work and/or live near fields sprayed with paraquat, maneb and ziram are more likely to suffer from the degenerative central nervous system disorder, for which there is no cure.
Researchers note that their findings provide the first strong evidence in humans that exposure to several pesticides increases risk of PD more than exposure to individual chemicals alone.

I just took a Star Wars quiz and next thing they condemn me to be eaten by the saarlac?! my score was worse than I thought...
"...And when she smiles, she really shows you all she can...""smiles"?! Yeah, right!
I like the symmetrical mirrored ear configuration.
In one ear and out the other? Too cute!
Dual-force radar maintains surveillance for other desert marauders.
They look like bookends of disapproval... keeping all of your faults and transgressions organized and cataloged.
If Jabba the Hutt had such fearsome minions, you would be well and truly doomed!! *shivers with fear*
I'm not the humans you're looking for! Ahhhh!!!!!
I hate being eternally digested ._.
maybe I can jedi mind trick ny way out of this... or just use treats. Jabba's minions like treats.
P.S. I too enjoy the ear configuration.
A HA! Dune Bunnies!
The Force can have a strong influence on the weak minded. Unfortunately for us, these minions have us on their radar.
I think I'd rather be frozen in carbonite than face such intimidating disapproval.
It's Return of the Bun-di!!

Moving with ease between fiddle and accordion, Cedric Watson and his group Bijou Creole (including a rubboard player) are among the new generation that carry on the Creole and Cajun traditions. His specialty is zydeco, a Louisiana French blend of Creole and rhythm & blues, making this show extra spicy.
This concert is approximately 1 hour in duration.
The Family Music Series is underwritten by Eva Colin Usdan and John Usdan. Generous support is also provided by The Brodsky Family Foundation.

One of the brightest young talents to emerge in Cajun, Creole and Zydeco (Louisiana French) music over the last decade, Cedric Watson is a four-time Grammy®-nominated fiddler, singer, accordionist and songwriter.
Originally from San Felipe, TX (population 868), Mr. Watson made his first appearance at the age of 19 at the Zydeco Jam at The Big Easy in Houston, TX. Just two years later, he moved to south Louisiana, quickly immersing himself in French music and language. Over the next several years, Mr. Watson performed French music in 17 countries and on seven full-length albums with various groups, including the Pine Leaf Boys, Corey Ledet, Les Amis Creole and his own group, Bijou Creole.
Cedric Watson & Bijou Creole resurrect the ancient sounds of the French and Spanish contra dance and bourré alongside the spiritual rhythms of the Congo tribes of West Africa, who were sold as slaves in the Caribbean and Louisiana by the French and Spanish.
With an apparently bottomless repertoire of songs at his fingertips, Mr. Watson plays everything from forgotten Creole melodies and obscure Dennis McGee reels to more modern Cajun and Zydeco songs, even occasionally throwing in a bluegrass fiddle tune or an old string band number. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he is also a prolific songwriter, writing almost all of his songs on his double row Hohner accordion. The songs channel his diverse ancestry (African, French, Native American and Spanish) to create his own brand of sounds. His website is cedricwatson.com.

Crash on 6th St. viaduct kills motorcyclist from Waukesha
A 37-year-old man was killed in a motorcycle accident late Thursday, Milwaukee police said.
The man was identified as James Springer of Waukesha, according to the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office.
He was traveling south on the 6th St. viaduct from downtown to the near south side about 9:55 p.m. when he lost control on the slope and slight curve at the end of the bridge, hit the curb and suffered fatal injuries, according to a Milwaukee police news release.
Police say speed was a factor.
Waukesha County board rejects senior apartment plan for former Moor Mud Baths Resort site
county officials have made it known they wanted to tear down the former Health and Human Services building — the one-time Moor Mud Baths Resort on the Waukesha County Courthouse campus.For nearly two years,
Local preservationists have also made it known that they wanted this historic building to be repurposed and back on the tax rolls.
While the county board previously saved the building from the bulldozer, it appears the national, state and local landmark has reached the end of the line and will be razed.
The county board voted 15-8 on Tuesday, Aug. 25, to deny the only proposal that considered redeveloping the vacant building, which opened in 1911. Gorman & Company Inc. wanted to buy the building at 500 Riverview Ave. and turn it into a 40-unit apartment complex for seniors.
"Their vote certainly seems to move it closer to being taken down," said Allison Bussler, the county's department of public works director.» Read Full Article

Man arrested in fatal shooting in Waukesha
A 35-year-old man suspected in the fatal shooting of another man in Waukesha was arrested Wednesday, according to Waukesha police.
The man is a suspect in the Aug. 14 killing of Kevin Hueman, 40, in the 700 block of E. North St., according to a news release from the Waukesha Police Department.
According to the release, police executed a search warrant shortly before 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in the 700 block of E. St. Paul Ave., where they observed the suspect attempting to hurt himself with an edged weapon.

Health forces Waukesha alderman Patton to step down
Citing poor health, Roger Patton has resigned from his duties as a Waukesha alderman.
City Administrator Kevin Lahner presented a letter of resignation from Patton at the Sept. 1 common council meeting. The alderman had submitted his resignation two hours before that meeting, Lahner explained.
"It is with deep regret that I must resign my office as alderman effective immediately due to poor health," Patton said in his letter. "I have been honored by the trust shown in me by the voters of my district and have enjoyed working side by side with all you for the betterment of our city and the welfare of our citizens over the past seven years."
In his letter Patton explained that, since the start of this year, his ability to carry out his duties as alderman has been compromised due to declining health, mobility problems and frequent hospitalizations.
Patton, who represented constituents in downtown (District 11), thanked all of the aldermen for their support over the years.» Read Full Article
Cindi Duchow wins Waukesha County Republican Assembly primary
Town of Delafield Supervisor Cindi Duchow defeated three other Republicans in Tuesday's winner-take-all partisan primary election for the vacant 99th District Assembly seat in Waukesha County.
Unofficial results showed Duchow tallied 1,341 votes in the race to fill the seat formerly held by Republican state Sen. Chris Kapenga, who was elected to the 33rd District Senate seat in a July special election. Kapenga replaced former state Sen. Paul Farrow (R-Pewaukee), who was elected Waukesha County executive in April.
Dave Westlake, 41, of Hartland, founder and president of ATLAS, an asset management software business, received 1,099 votes; Scott Owens, 50, of the Town of Genesee, owner of an American Family Insurance agency in Brookfield, received 737 votes; and Spencer Zimmerman of Delafield, a chauffeur for a limousine service, received 146 votes.
Duchow, the only candidate in the race ever elected to public office, is all but assured of victory in the Sept. 29 general election because no Democrat entered the race and the only possible challenge would come from a write-in candidate.
She was elected Town of Delafield supervisor in 2012 and re-elected in 2014.» Read Full Article
OSHA cites Waukesha Iron & Metal with 11 violations tied to fatality

Waukesha County Museum makeover moves forward as part of apartment plan
By the end of 2016, a museum focused on Waukesha's history — including legendary guitarist Les Paul — will likely reopen in much better financial shape as part of a project that will create 41 high-end apartments.
The financially troubled Waukesha County Museum is selling its downtown property, including the historic former courthouse, to a group led by local developer Alan Huelsman, who operates Berg Management Co.
If the project wins final city approvals, the new owners will demolish a building that connects the former jail, built in 1885, to the former courthouse, built in 1893 and known for its 120-foot tower and four corner turrets.
In the connector building's place, Huelsman's group, Historic Prairieville Limited Partners, will develop a five-story apartment building with a section that ties to the courthouse. The $9 million apartment development will be a combination of that new construction and the renovated former jail.
Historic Prairieville will lease the three-story former courthouse to the museum for annual rent of $1.» Read Full Article

In the Garden
When to plant your bulbs?
Usually I wait until early December to buy and plant bulbs. Well, in the interest of honesty, I should admit that I don't actually wait. Usually it's December before I get around to buying and putting in bulbs.
I plant tulips. I think they're beautiful, and I think they're well suited to me in part because I really dislike looking at the dying foliage after the bloom fades. Since I don't try to make tulips go more than one year, I'm free to take them out when I start hating the way they look.
This year, I bought bulbs early which meant, among other things, that I paid full price. But I brushed the idea of the extra money aside as I savored a full measure of smug satisfaction that I was ahead of the game.
I've been duly punished.
Chipmunks or squirrels or whatever have been digging up my bulbs every day for the last three weeks. I planted 90 bulbs and, so far, I've counted more than twenty empty holes in my tulip bed. Plus, to add insult to injury, frequently my uninvited guests eat only about half the bulb and throw the rest on the ground for me to find. I think if I want any tulips next spring, I'm going to have to buy and plant some more.
Isn't it enough that they're also eating all my birdseed?
It is in times like these that I either call someone at the Extension office or go online and see if Virginia Cooperative Extension has a publication that will help me.
Since I finally decided to face this issue on a weekend when, understandably, the office was closed, I went online and found "Flowering Bulbs: Culture and Maintenance" at http://www.ext.vt.edu.
"One of the most popular spring bulbs is the tulip," says the publication. "Tulips come in all colors except blue."
My bulbs are pink, white, and pink-and-white, purchased in three different bags. They represent something of a splurge since I normally get the 60-mixed-colors bag that's left on the markdown counter.
"Selecting quality spring bulbs is very important." Okay, did that this year. "Size is important: look for plump, firm bulbs." Check.
"Hardy, spring-flowering bulbs are planted in fall." Yes. "As a general rule of thumb, bulbs should be planted 2.5 to 3 times the diameter of the bulb in depth." Yes, I did that.
"If voles are a problem, the bulbs can be planted in baskets made of wire screen to prevent the animals from reaching and destroying them."
Voles? I have voles. They're tunneling all over my garden, but do they toss half the bulb up on the surface of the ground?
Have I been falsely accusing my chipmunks?
And, where can I get baskets made of wire screen? Really, if I tell the truth, I don't think I'm up for wire screen baskets.
I think I'm going to wait until the bulbs go on sale in early December. Then I'll buy and plant some more. Maybe some bad habits are not that bad after all.

Third Hotel in Triangle Possible
A third hotel has become a possibility in the Mount Vernon Triangle in addition to the Hampton Inn and the future Standard Hotel. The property owner, Han Jan, of the historic row houses at 444 and 446 K St NW have modified their plans for an apartment building and may be constructing a hotel due to the smaller footprint the Historic Preservation Board requested for the site. Currently, the owner is working with the architecture firm of Studio Crowley Hall but no other presentations have been scheduled at this time beyond the June Historic Preservation hearing.
