That Pop Song May Provide a Classics Lesson
Some women have spent hours obsessing over the songs of "Les Misérables" since the movie's release last year. But on a recent afternoon, female students at Touro College took an unusual angle: analyzing parallels between the film's song "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" and the work of German-American political theorist Hannah Arendt.
They were led by Assistant Professor Thomas Rozinski, who teaches political science at Touro, a New York school oriented toward Jewish students. He uses songs from such varied sources as musicals, rock bands and the Swedish pop group Ace of Base to illustrate classic themes in nearly every class.
To wit: The professor said Supertramp's "The Logical Song" is "basically the story of [Jean-Jacques] Rousseau," the French philosopher; the theme song from the 1966 movie "Alfie" reprises a debate from Plato's "Republic"; the song "Gee, Officer Krupke" from the musical "West Side Story" is "an indictment of the social welfare state."
"I'm constantly on the look for these things," Mr. Rozinski said. If songs can "convey a message and help people understand, then they can participate in a conversation" with philosophers and theorists that's been continuing for 2,000 years.
Mr. Rozinski, who presented his approach at an academic conference this year and is planning to publish a paper on the technique, is part of a growing wave of academics who use popular culture to illuminate traditional intellectual concepts.
Students say they appreciate the effort. "A lot of times you're dealing with abstract concepts and abstract ideas," said Raphaela Abramson, a 21-year-old senior at Touro. "When you have a song you've heard of, it brings it together."
Professors tread a fine line when they integrate pop culture into their lectures. "It's always tempting to become an entertainer in front of the classroom and to become popular and trendy and cool," said Michael Baur, an associate professor of philosophy at Fordham University. Mr. Baur has used Coldplay songs to illustrate the principles of stoicism. But he adds that if the professor isn't careful, "the pop culture sort of takes over."
Another challenge is using cultural references that resonate with today's students. John Davenport, an associate professor of philosophy at Fordham University, used to try to tell classes that Han Solo, hero of the original "Star Wars" films from the 1970s and early 1980s, embodied all three types of Aristotelian friendship. It fell flat. "None of the students knew what I was talking about," said the 46-year-old professor. "It's pretty sad."
When William Irwin started teaching 16 years ago, his tastes kept up with those of his students. Now, at 43, "my references don't go over the way that they used to," said Mr. Irwin, who teaches philosophy at King's College in Pennsylvania. "There's nothing less cool than somebody who's trying to force a hip reference that they don't really get themselves."
Princeton University sociology professor Mitchell Duneier teaches a class inspired by the music of Bruce Springsteen. One issue: Many of the students "tell me they're taking the class because their parents are making them take it," he said, adding that the class is packed on parent visiting day.
The class, offered roughly every two years, is divided into two lectures a week; in the first, a musician will perform a Springsteen song live. Then Mr. Duneier will lecture on topics such as working-class life, the connection between people and their cars and teenage mothers.
In the second session, Mr. Duneier interviews someone from New Jersey whose life embodies the themes of the song. There also is a mandatory class trip to Atlantic City that has included interviews with cocktail waitresses and boardwalk vendors.
Despite their initial reluctance, Mr. Duneier said he often sees former students when he goes to Springsteen concerts—and he's been to more than 100 of them. "They say, 'I'm so glad I took this class,'" he said. Students start "thinking sociologically about things that they had not been thinking sociologically about before."
The debate over pop culture is crystallized in a series of books overseen by Mr. Irwin. It all started when the professor used characters from the TV show "Seinfeld" in his classes. "Jerry is like Socrates in this way," Mr. Irwin would tell his students. "George decides to do the opposite in this episode. Is that rational according to Aristotle's theory of rationality?"
When the show ended, "I was not only sad as a fan to lose the show but sad as a teacher to lose a pedagogical device," he said.
So he wrote a book. "Seinfeld and Philosophy," published in 1999, explains some of the academic lessons he drew from the show. To his surprise, it was a hit, selling more than 50,000 copies. "That sort of opened the floodgate," he said.
There are now more than 50 books in the series, which have sold more than a million volumes combined, Mr. Irwin said. Topics include TV shows "The Sopranos" and "The Big Bang Theory," the heavy metal band Black Sabbath and James Bond. A book based on the J.R.R. Tolkien novel "The Hobbit" is subtitled: "For When You've Lost Your Dwarves, Your Wizard and Your Way."
With success, the focus of the books has shifted. "As it broadened in audience, the mission broadened a little bit, too," Mr. Irwin said. "I think an equal amount of people find it either too fluffy or too rigorous."
Some books in the series find that balance better than others. With a "30 Rock and Philosophy: We Want to Go to There" edition, he said, "I think we stretched a bit."

text: I guess you Twilight fans have another movie to flip out about. Critics are saying that Beautiful Creatures is an appealing movie to folks who loved the Twilight series. Today's tutorial is going to be on "how to draw Lena Duchannes", step by step. She is one of the main characters from the romantic fantasy novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. I guess the story takes place in South Carolina and it follows the life of Ethan Wate. Ethan has these consistent dreams of a girl that he never met before or even seen. All that changed when he starts school again for another year. A new student named Lena Duchannes. It isn't long before Lena starts having stories revolve around her. All sort of rumors are spread but the most popular is the one about her entire family being devil worshipers. The actress that plays Lena in the new film is Alice Englert. I think that this movie is going to be almost as big, or equal as the Twilight series. Drawing Lena is going to be fairly simple, so make sure you leave some feedback letting folks know if you have seen the movie, or plan on seeing it soon.

2012 Collections and Research Annual Report
Collections-based research has been the core scientific mission of The Field Museum since its founding in 1893, and "Collections & Research" has been the name of the division housing the core scientific departments dedicated to that mission since 1983—the year I started here as a curator, in fact (with a shift to "Academic Affairs" for a few years). Before that the research arm of the Museum was called "Science & Education," and was grouped with the Exhibits and Education Departments. In 2013, the name will change again—to, interestingly enough, "Science & Education" —in conjunction with a fundamental restructuring within the Museum. But research, grounded in collections, will continue to be one of the most important strengths of this institution.
Looking back over 25 years I am struck by the continuity between the scientific work then and now, but also by the amazing increase in productivity. In the late 1970s and earlier '80s it was typical to see at most 100 publications per year from the curators and scientific staff. In 2012 our scientists (including a markedly smaller curatorial faculty) produced nearly 270 scientific publications, ranging in subject from CT scanning of Egyptian bird mummies, to DNA barcoding of fungi, to the beer-consumption practices of the ancient Wari culture of Peru, to the sharing of host plants by competing ant species. And of course many of these papers identified new species: a theropod dinosaur, a few shrew-mice, a myrtle tree, a dozen-odd rove beetles, several bats and snakes, and over 100 lichens. C&R scientists described 149 species and other taxa new to science in 2012, putting the number published in the past 22 years over 1,300. Most of our studies would seem familiar to our colleagues of a quarter century ago, although methods like DNA barcoding would surely intrigue them. Molecular-based research into evolution and populations has been going on at the Field since the late 1970s, but the pace and scope of that work, thanks to automated sequencing, has increased by incredible leaps. Likewise, the chemical investigations carried out in Anthropology's Elemental Analysis Lab have unlocked previously inaccessible information about how artifacts were created and where they came from, and CT-scanning technology has enabled "virtual dissection" of cultural objects that would have amazed our predecessors. New technologies solve old mysteries, breed new questions, fuel innovative work, and increase the productivity of our scientists. But while new technologies and methods account for some of this increase in productivity, I think the deep passion and commitment of our scientists account for a great deal of it as well. Their commitment is obvious by their publications, their broad involvement in their fields, and by their dogged pursuit of grants. The scientists of C&R have not only generated, but also funded, much of the original scientific research produced at the Museum. Grants are the engine that drives this research. Scientists in C&R received more than $3.7 million in new awards in 2012 from the National Science Foundation, Institute of Museum and Library Service, Marie Curie Foundation, National Geographic Society, Negaunee Foundation, and other sources. With these awards, the active grant projects being spearheaded by this group number more than 80. New awards combined with existing grants total more than $17.7 million. Tracing C&R grantsmanship back to the mid-1980s would no doubt total in the neighborhood of $100 million raised.
Our researchers are also more deeply involved than ever in educating future generations of professional scientists. It is perhaps a cliché to compare the "3rd floor" of the Museum to a mini-university, but it is apt. We continue to have strong connections, through teaching appointments and graduate student advising, to Chicagoland universities. Our closest and most formal ties are with the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Northwestern University. We are the scientific home base to over 50 resident graduate students from these three schools, and more, and our curators serve on dozens of dissertation committees. Some students enroll at these schools specifically to work with certain Field Museum curators.
Our training efforts reach far beyond Chicago. Field Museum scientists are deeply engaged in building the expertise of conservation specialists and museum professionals internationally. The scientists in Zoology and Botany in particular lead conservation and capacity-building efforts across the globe, including Madagascar, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Thailand, China, Tibet, the Philippines, Peru, Costa Rica, and Brazil. FM-trained students now occupy influential conservation positions in universities, museums, and NGOs worldwide. As the map on the inside cover of this report shows, this research and training takes Field Museum scientists around the world. We routinely conduct fieldwork in more than 30 countries (plus the Antarctic and the North Pacific Ocean), and research collaborations take us to another 20 or more locales.
But ultimately it all comes back to the rows and rows of shelves and cabinets on the 3rd floor, and in the Collections Resource Center, that house our 24.7 million specimens. The Field Museum's reference collections constitute a vast lending library for the international scientific community. Our collections are in constant use by Field Museum scientists as well as visiting researchers from other institutions. Last year more than 700 visiting scientists and dozens of graduate students conducted research in the collections. We also hosted dozens of college classes, and numerous back-of-the house tours for VIPs, donors, and groups with specialized interest in the collections—ecology classes, artists, gardening enthusiasts, Native American tribal leaders, and more. In addition, we loan tens of thousands of specimens each year to researchers around the world. The Field Museum collections are really the "go-to" place for a broad array of disciplines, and form a crucial part of the global knowledge base in the biological and social sciences. Numbers alone cannot capture the unique character and scientific importance of the numerous objects accessioned by the collections staff each year. Whether through field collecting by Museum curators, purchase, donation, or salvage (e.g., road kill) literally every day the Museum gains new specimens that significantly enhance the quality, depth, and breadth of our collections, and most important of all, expand their usefulness as a "library" of the natural and cultural world—a world-class resource for research. It is incumbent upon us to maintain this resource, grow it, and make it available to the world scientific community, so that they can fuel current research, and help future scientists address questions we can't even envision.
As we move into 2013 the Collections & Research division will cease to exist under that name. All the scientific departments will be merged together under the title "Science & Education," and a restructuring of the various efforts and function is underway. These changes will require a great deal of effort on the part of the scientists and staff involved, but ultimately we hope these changes will yield new efficiencies, and new synergies. But the core science carried out at the Field will not change. It is our brand. The scope and impact of collections-based research is grounded in its dedication to documenting the natural world, the patterns of biological evolution, and the development of human societies. We are also committed to leveraging that knowledge to understand and conserve biodiversity, enhance our understanding of ourselves as humans, and increase scientific literacy in an age of declining expertise in the sciences. Division names may change, but this mission will not.

Hey, kids. Vegan Dad here. Just a wee note to tell you that I will be taking a brief hiatus from the blog for the next month. My professional life is extremely busy with three projects on the go right now that need my attention, combined with a full teaching load. I need a few weeks (four, actually) to get everything in order. I will still post links and pics and the like on the Facebook page to keep in contact with you all, but don't expect any new recipes for a while. When I get back I will start gearing up for the holiday season and the New Year with baked goods and savoury dishes aplenty. So, for now, enjoy this pic I snapped at the cottage and I will see you again soon.

So what did you get in your latest Bag Of Carrots?
I got:
3 X Tabletop Tripods
Primula Tea flowering tea set (tea leaves)
A pop-up lawn sprinkler
iGo Universal Car Charger, without any charging tips. So completely worthless.
Hats that are Hatty T-shirt (size small lol)
And one of those reusable grocery bags with a big purple flower on it

Check out here for the unofficial Woot BOC tracker : http://wootsack.bfusion.net/index.php
Or here for the BOC thread, where a lot of people post their contents: http://www.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=4918776
Unexpected awesomeness thanks to @colonelcrap
My Bag was fantastic. Lock + Lock food storage set, Electric bug zapper (already zapped myself and a few co-workers) A Cars book with buttons that make noise... for kids. Barbie Backpack, Black Duffle bag, some drink holder or something, a ladies small woot shirt. and something else I'm forgetting.
Not a bad haul for 8 dollars, I swear that Lock+Lock set was just on woot for 24 dollars.
Mine is "out for delivery". Why, oh why, is my house at the end of the mail route?
@katblue: Mine has been "out for delivery" for 2 days. I think my truck got re-routed to Canada.
@thumperchick: Aww gee, thanks for the encouragement. I think.
Edit: I have a friend who lives in Canada. Maybe she can check on that for you. It's not like it's a big country or anything...
Here's my haul, nothing too fantastic, but was a good haul nonetheless.
Best BoC yet this time around. I'm an incredibly happy camper.
77-piece Reed & Barton Everyday Concannon stainless steel flatware service for 12 plus 12 bonus steak knives ($149.99 list)
Rabbit fliptop cocktail shaker ($29.99 list),
black duffle bag (don't know the cost),
ladies large t-shirt with the seal of University Wikipedius ($15.00), and
Humvee monofold compact binocular (monocular?), (don't know the cost, but it's not a toy).
As someone whose BoCs are sometimes very carppy, I had my socks knocked off by this one.
My 5.7 lb bag just arrived. Nothing too different than others have already gotten: lawn sprinkler, 3 tripods, blue duffel bag, and Igo charger with no tips, flowering tea,
AND: Not one, but TWO Baywatch Barbie backpacks. Wow! I'm speechless!
I am so unworthy of this great honor.
Does the Backpack count as a bag? If not I didn't get a bag, sigh
I received the same as OP but with a WXL zombie bait shirt. I expected crap and woot! did not disappoint. :)
@linuxtrance: The rule of thumb is this - 4 total items, one of which has to be a bag. Yes, a backpack counts as a bag.
i got stoodup by the deliverybunny.
@thumperchick: That's what I figured :) I'm actually happy with my crap, nothing spectacular, but the anticipation and the "little kid at Christmas" feeling I got when opening it was well worth it.
I'll get mine tomorrow if the post office is open.
Let's see..
- A star wars calendar that I gave to my sisters friend.
- Locking Tupperware (x2) that I gave to my mom.
- Pop up sprinkler that I gave to my dad.
- Pet blanket that I gave to my dog.
- Two shirts (it came out of nowhere and ugly xmas sweater) that I gave to my sister.
- And a gym bag, for myself.
So yeah, I gave most of mines away and it was the best feeling in the world. :D
Can't wait what comes next because I love the adrenaline rush anxiety that keeps me awake at night like I was going to Disneyland the next day. Remember that commercial? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b95oyhSd5ls The first half is basically what I looked like the whole week waiting. Lol.
- Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar
- Black Duffel Bag
- Electric Bug Zapper
- Pop-up/Pop-down Lawn Sprinkler
- Easy-Bake Cake and Cookie Kit
- 2 shirts (Zombie Bait & Lassie pushing the kid down a well) that wouldn't have fit me 15 years ago let alone today.
Already gave away the shirts, going to give away the Easy-Bake Kit and Duffel soon. I was secretly praying to not get one of the toilet foot flushers after seeing one of the posts. All in all, a fun experience.
First of (hopefully) many BOCs.
I've given those flowering teas as gifts before- not sure about that specific brand, but I know in general they aren't cheap. Nice thing to throw in.

To the editor:
Recently I have read several letters condemning abortion and feel that your readers should hear valid points from both sides of this issue.
We have all heard of the many incidences of babies being thrown away or even killed by the mother almost immediately after birth. Many of the incidents are a direct result of what pro-choice advocates have accomplished thus far. Mandatory reporting laws in cases of supposed abortion leave young girls with nowhere to turn and little choice going forward. When you back an overly emotional pregnant teenager into a corner, this is exactly the type of behaviors you will see as evident by the hundreds of thousands of young girls who have done exactly this or something very similar. With an abortion a "baby" is not being killed, a fetus is quelled from being able to develop into a baby.
We also have women and young girls who are victims of rape who the government nor anyone else has the right to further victimize by making them carry their attackers' child full term. Each day of the pregnancy would be a constant reminder of the ordeal they survived and would ultimately leave deep emotional scars any female would spend a lifetime trying to overcome. Overcoming the emotional scars left by an attack of this nature alone is enough to put on any woman's shoulders without adding to it. No woman asks to be a victim and unless you know what it's like to be held down and helplessly violated you have no right to tell a victim they have to carry and give birth to their attackers' child.
Further, many pro-life advocates argument against abortion rests solely on the Bible, however we have a separation of church and state which makes their argument invalid as well as irrelevant.
I readily agree that the abuse of abortion by some women who have had multiple abortions as a form of birth control is sinister to say the least, however you cannot violate every woman's constitutional right to choose because there are a few morally deficient women out there. With anything on this earth there will always be that socially inept group of people that will abuse any and every situation in any way they can.
I ask of those people who oppose abortion, what gives them the right to step into a woman's life and tell her what she has to do without knowing any of the facts concerning said woman or her situation? Every woman's story, life and situation is unique. You're awfully naive to think the issue of abortion is that cut and dry to impose a blanket restriction on all women in all situations.

That is what the respectable etymological dictionaries like the Oxford English Dictionary and the Larousse etymologique and the grandaddy of all French etymological dictionaries, The Franzosiches Etymologisches Worterbuch say. The earliest attestation in French is from 1609, and no phonological relation to cats is possible. But I like your description of cats batting at one another! The slippers with the embroidered cat's heads, now that's fanciful! Hey whatever works for the students.. Actually I have watched my cat jumping and they do kind of bend their legs as in a pas de chat.
I've heard that before, but do we have proof? (I always though one needed to beat as fast as paw batting between two cats...). I've never seen a cat leap like a pas de chat, but I can imagine them picking them up high to avoid stepping in water.... Perhaps you could do Pas de Chat next?

Hi Amy, I was a dictionary editor for 20 years, so when I talk about words, these are the sources I rely on, though I may not mention it.
That is the kind of proof I was looking for, thank you.... Sometimes we get things passed own through the generations in class that had their start in some teacher's imagination....

Corella Ballet in New York

I am not interested in Corella. Good riddance, in my book.
What an extraordinary thing to say! Angel Corella has just created the first large scale classical ballet company Spain has ever had, a wonderful achievement when so many European companies are going to the wall and all you can do is whinge because he dropped your favourite dancer! Show me a male dancer who hasn't dropped his partner at some time. For the ladies of the ballet its an occupational hazard.
Posted 27 March 2009 - 04:43 AM
Corella has more than earned the love and loyalty of American ballet audiences. Now we have the chance to see what he and his artists have been able to achieve for Spanish ballet in such a short time.
I hope this will be a MAJOR cultural event for New York City and for the future of ballet both here and in Spain.
4mrdncr, will you be there? And, wouldn't it be great if CarolinaM and others from fotoescena can make it as well? Who else is planning on attending?
Here's the company website (English version):
And here's a review (with plenty of photos) of one of their recent productions.
Posted 27 March 2009 - 11:57 AM
I wouldn't expect it to show on City Center's website before September.
Wow! The City Center website doesn't have this yet. Nor does Corella give information about the planned program. This is definitely a story to follow.

This will be a remarkable way of introducing Spain's new classical ballet company to the United States.

Sorry, folks, I've known about this for 3 months, though couldn't say anything until CB posted it, which they did last month on their calendar page. Anyways, if I'm not there, I hope my film is.
Posted 27 March 2009 - 07:01 PM
Yes! I hope some distributor realizes that pairing the first U.S. visit by AC's company and an extended run of the AC/Company documentary would make for great box office.
Anyways, if I'm not there, I hope my film is.

I hope those of you who follow this thread also know that 5 Corella Ballet dancers (M.Golding, N.Tapia, J.Gatti, A.Almeida, and H. Cornejo) are scheduled to appear in New York at the YAGP next week. I'll be there (physically at least; mentally, the headaches are so painful, I don't want to think about it.)

March 17 20, 2010
New York, NY, July 23, 2009 Choreographer Angel Corella has announced the U.S. debut of Corella Ballet Castilla y León, March 17 - 20 at New York City Center. The engagement will feature the U.S. premier of String Sextet, Mr. Corellas first choreography, performed to music by Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky. The four-performance engagement will feature three other pieces to be announced.
Corella Ballet features acclaimed dancers from around the world, including Principal Dancers: Herman Cornejo, Iain Mackay, Adiarys Almeida, Carmen Corella and Natalia Tapia; First Soloists: Kazuko Omori and Joseph Gatti and Soloists: Ashley Ellis, Mª José Sales, Cristina Casa, Kirill Radev, Fernando Bufalá and Yevgen Uzlenkov. Mr. Corella is also a Principal Dancer.
Corella Ballet Castilla y León was founded in April 2008 at the Royal Palace of La Granja in Segovia-Spain. Corella Ballet, under Angel Corellas artistic direction, is currently the only classical ballet company in Spain. The company consists of 60 dancers from 12 countries: Spain, Cuba, United States, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Ireland, Japan, Lithuania, Russia, Portugal, Argentina, the Republic of Georgia and Kazajstán. Corella Ballet Foundation projects include the creation of a dance school which will also be the base for future Corella Ballet dancers. One of the companys missions is to provide a professional career for classical dancers in Spain, so that Spanish born dancers do not have to leave the country to further their careers, as Corella and many others have done. Corella Ballets wide repertoire incorporates classical, neoclassical and contemporary choreography.
Corella Ballet will play for four performances, at New York City Center, 55th Street, between 6th and 7th Avenues, according to the following schedule March 17 at 7:30, March 19 at 8 pm and March 20 at 2 & 8 pm.

King Abdullah chairs Cabinet session
October 25, 2010
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz began the Cabinet session at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh today with a briefing on his most recent talks with foreign officials. He described his meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, which focused on the condition of the Palestinian people and efforts to put the peace process back on track, as well a telephone call he received from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Next, King Abdullah urged all relevant agencies to do everything possible to serve the pilgrims who have been arriving in Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj rituals. Several reports were presented on the preparations that have already been undertaken by various sectors to serve the visitors.
The Cabinet reviewed the proceedings of the International Conference on the Effects of Masses and Crowded Gatherings on Public Health, which was held in the Kingdom last week. The ministers welcomed a call by King Abdullah to establish a modern discipline in the field of medicine specifically concerned with this phenomenon.
Turning to its weekly agenda, the Cabinet approved the application of a charter regulating the affairs of the personnel of the Saudi Commission for Tourism; approved the system of state revenues; approved amending paragraphs 1, 3 and 4 of the provision "Thirdly" of Cabinet decision No. 21, dated 29/01/1430; approved a set of regulations involving loans from the Real Estate Development Fund; and authorized the President of the King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (KACARE) to sign a draft agreement between the Kingdom and Russia on cooperation in the peaceful application of nuclear energy.

In June 2013, the National Science Foundation announced that The University of Akron (UA) would be one of three initial I-Corps Sites locations designated to educate faculty, students and the community on entrepreneurial principles. Our goal is to help faculty and students answer important commercialization questions directly applicable to state and federal grant programs, as well as to support in identifying industry partners and potential licensees.
What is the NSF I-Corps Program?
The UA I-Corps Sites program will support teams through critical market and commercialization evaluations associated with a specific UA developed idea or technology. These teams will be comprised of at least one faculty member (Academic Lead), one student (Entrepreneurial Lead), and one Mentor. Faculty from all colleges and department are encouraged to apply. Students may also apply independently to join teams.
Application Process
Each team will be required to submit a short application that will be evaluated on the following criteria:
- Team and Commitment
- Intellectual Property Strength
- Technology Strength
- Commercial Potential / Applications
- Fit with I-Corps Sites
Applications will be accepted any time, and will be evaluated three times each year (September, December, and May).
UA I-Corps Sites Program
As part of the program, each team will be required to attend training and meet with a business Mentor. The goal of the program is to help commercialize UA technologies and ideas with the specific outcome of the UA I-Corps Sites program being a team decisions on whether to pursue commercialization through one of the following:
- NSF I-Corps Teams program (an intensive 6-week NSF training with $50,000 grant)
- Ohio Third Frontier Technology Validation grant (a $50,000 grant with required matching funding)
- UA's Innovation Practice Center (prototyping and commercialization assistance through UA)
Program participants are also eligible for up to $2,500 in NSF funding, which can be used for:
- Prototyping materials
- Travel to visit potential customers and end users
- Training or education in entrepreneurship
- Any other needed resources
- Budget must be approved by I-Corps Sites Budget Review Committee

Shoal Cave
13,170pages on
this wiki
this wiki
Shoal Cave is a cave in the Hoenn region. Here you can gather items such as the Shoal Salt and the Shoal Shell. After four of each of the Shoal Salt and the Shoal Shell are gathered, the player can give the items to an old man so he can make the Shell Bell for the player.
At certain moments, the Shoal Cave switches between Low tide and High tide.
Low tideDuring low tide, there is barely any water in the cave, allowing access to Shoal Salts and the Ice part of the cave, the only place in the entire game where you can catch the rare Snorunt.
High tide
During high tide, most of the cave is flooded, which means you have to surf most of the time. The high water allows access to points otherwise unreachable, where the items usually are found.

The various cultures of the Ancient Near East spoke a wide array of languages and we know that there was plenty of communication between cultures. We even have a language like Akkadian that served as a lingua franca between many different cultures. Diplomats, and others, must have received training in foreign languages. Do we have any written grammars from the Ancient Near East used for such teaching? Dictionaries? Explanations of points of grammar? Even exercises used by students?
Well, written language was, at the time, an economic tool primarily. It was used to record business, political and liturgical transactions, and to cary on a conversation at a distance through correspondance. The things we use it for, instructive texts (such as language instruction courses) and recreational reading, developed much, much later.
But! There are ancient documents that are meant to instruct scribes in how to learn and teach writing itself - one such is detailed in this online book. (Begins on page 181 "How did they learn Cuneiform?" by Niek Veldhuis). These were word lists, lists of kings, and snippets of seemingly unrelated text, meant as a "primer" for the neophyte scribe to copy.

Just noticed that 3.1 added a new filter to customize queries: posts_clauses. All I could find about it is that instead of using the separate query filters like posts_where or posts_join, you can edit them all in one go. I was wondering if someone could give an example of the usage of the new "posts_clauses" filter?
Below is the query I found somewhere and was going through it. The purpose of query is to sort the posts based on taxonomy. So, I am sharing the code so it might help you understand the use of posts_clauses.
here is the source where I found the above query: http://scribu.net/wordpress/sortable-taxonomy-columns.html
The answer from scribu / Hameedullah is a great pointer, but it will hide posts that are a member of a different taxonomy (e.g. 'category'), but not of 'color'. I have modified the code, and this seems to work great:

I could sit in my kitchen and bake all day, every day in December and still not have time to make every delectable treat whose recipe has crossed my path. This year I have the additional challenge of creating gluten free treats so that SuperDad isn't left in the proverbial Christmas dust …
I had these meringues on my list last year and never got around to them so I made it a point to give them a run this time around. This is such a simple recipe and it whips up very quickly…add to that the fact that it is a little different than the standard holiday treat and has that unique meringue texture…. I was sure it would be a winner. I was right!
The original recipe for these treats comes from the 2010 Holiday magazine. I made this recipe two times before I got it to turn out the way I wanted it to. While I love the recipe collections that Taste of Home puts out during the holidays, they often don't come with good instructions (or I've just become way too spoiled by my food blogger friends who lay out wonderful details on how to make their creations!). A little trial and error and I'm excited about the results.
Tip: Don't overcook these, it will make the meringues difficult to lift off of the baking sheet. I used a metal bar server and a butter knife to lift the meringues and get them onto the cooling racks. If your base was not full enough, you may find the chocolate kiss has become the bottom of the treat and the top lifts off. This is okay…they still taste magnificent
These meringues have an amazing chocolate flavor, they are slightly crunchy and the chocolate in the middle stays soft and gooey long after the meringue has cooled.
The original recipe calls for a "medium star tip" and has a batch count of 48. I tried this and frankly, they looked like little piles of poo…the tip was too thin! The 1M makes a nice full shape but it greatly decreases your batch size. Have no fear, they are still small enough to fit in a 6 year old's mouth in one giant bite
Rumor has it you can freeze meringues and pull them out when you are ready to serve them…. if I can ever keep these in my house long enough to get them frozen, I'll let you know.Read More

- About Plattsburgh
Going into elementary schools and learning in context is an important part of our program. Freshmen in the undergraduate childhood education major take education classes every semester with required field placements in every class.
Our updated course content is designed by teams of faculty, including professors from childhood education, special education, and literacy education, working collaboratively to develop course syllabi and to team-teach.
The childhood education program has spiraling themes (e.g., multicultural competencies, technology, contextualized experiences/learning, modeling, assessment, etc) that build on the knowledge and skills you gain throughout the four-year curriculum.
Through close relationships with faculty and peers, and excellent teaching — in the classroom and in elementary schools — our undergraduate program will fulfill degree requirements for certification in childhood education (Grades 1-6) from the New York State Education Department.
A Master of Science for Teachers in Childhood Education (Grades 1-6) is available for students who already possess an undergraduate degree in a field other than education.
Teachers who have initial certification in childhood education have several M.S. Ed. graduate programs as options to fulfill degree requirements for professional certification:
Jim Brown, an alumnus of SUNY Plattsburgh's childhood education program and a sixth-grade teacher at Sand Creek Middle School in Colonie, N.Y., was one of only 80 teachers nationwide to receive the annual Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching this year.
Brown credits his experience at SUNY Plattsburgh for changing the way he understood and now teaches math. One of his professors taught him to use tools or manipulatives to explain the concepts behind mathematical equations. This is something that isn't generally done with students beyond the primary grades but something that his professor believed was important.
To teach the importance of these tools, that professor asked his students to solve the Pythagorean Theorem using squares. This forced Brown to understand the concepts behind the theorem in a way that he never had before. Read more.

10 AMC Gold Experience Movie Tickets for $65 + free shipping
coupon code: popcorn7
use voucher code: popcorn7 on checkout to drop price
12 Comments add a comment
6.50 a ticket?
Now $7/ticket
@ctrlaltdefeat: Still $6.50 each with coupon
The $100 for 10 Tix + 10 Popcorns + 10 Drinks looks like a better value to me.
Is this site reputable? I also really want to the 10+10+10 combo!
This totally beats the $6/ticket AMC silver tickets I got from Groupon today. Time to go see LOTS of movies!
Wow, well I just bought 2 packs of the gold experience 10 tickets for 67$ per from costco, but they drink and popcorn pack from here sounds excellent, but dunno if I could use another 10 movie tickets
Sales made in NY are subject to NY Tax (8.875%)
my college sells it for $7 to students. it's still cheaper to get it from school after tax
Hmm I'm worried that this site is not legit, can anyone confirm that they have ordered & received their tickets?
Its Dead Jim
sold freakin out. -.-
and I think they are legit, joined their facebook and read comments there
Gone... :(
yep. SOLD OUT!
This was a better deal than Groupon yesterday... their's was SILVER tickets (cannot use first 10days of new release films). GOLD you can use opening-night!

I'm currently studying some problems about the Whitehead manifold $W$ (the open 3-manifold which is contractible but not homeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^3$). Does there exists some survey paper on its properties ?
I'm particularly interested in geometric results in the spirit of "Taming 3-manifolds using scalar curvature" by Chang, Weinberger and Yu (MathSciNet page) which shows that $W$ admits no metrics of uniformly positive scalar curvature.

However it wouldn't hurt showing that
$\text{Expression} \leq \epsilon$
would it, since $\epsilon$ is getting infinitesimally small? I have been doing this type of $\epsilon$ proofs quite some time now, but never asked myself that question. Am I allowed to write $\text{Expression} \leq \epsilon$? If so, when?

Abstract: Through the Eyes of the Elder: Understanding the Rock Art of the Dreamtime
Northern Australiais one of the last places left where rock art is still a living part of Indigenous culture. For the last five years, I have studied with Yidumduma Bill Harney, the last fully-initiated Wardaman man, and custodian of his people's Country, Songs, and Stories. Together we have documented twenty-five of the rock art sites in Wardaman Country, and all of Yidumduma's knowledge about them. This knowledge provides many insights into how rock art functioned in the daily and ceremonial lives of early peoples. Yidumduma and the other Wardaman elders wish to see this knowledge recorded for their descendants, and shared with the rest of the world.

Attorney General Troy King said that Alabama's price gouging law was triggered and went into effect with the Governor's declaration of a state of emergency earlier this afternoon.
General King has vowed to use the resources of his office to enforce it.
With gas prices across Alabama being reported to have reached or exceeded five dollars per gallon in some cities and with hundreds of Alabamians calling the Attorney General's Office to report rising prices, Attorney General King warned unscrupulous businesses that are seeking to profit illegally at the expense of Alabamians that these practices will not be tolerated.
"We have laws to protect against those who would profiteer and take advantage of their fellow-citizens," said Attorney General King. "It is wrong and against the law to illegally charge outrageous amounts for necessities that people must have in times of emergency. My staff and I understand that the soaring costs of fuel is working an extreme hardship on those in our state who are already struggling to live on fixed incomes and to provide for their families. I have directed my Consumer Protection Unit to respond aggressively to reports of wrongdoing."
The state law that prohibits "unconscionable pricing" of items for sale or rent comes into play when the Governor has declared an official state of emergency.
An unconscionable price is defined as one that is 25 percent or more than the average price charged in the same area within the last 30 days, unless the increase can be attributed to a reasonable cost.
The penalty is a fine of up to $1,000 per violation, and those determined to have willfully and continuously violated this law may be prohibited from doing business in Alabama.
Attorney General King's Consumer Protection Unit can be reached by calling toll-free to 1-800-392-5658 or though the Attorney General's main web page at www.ago.state.al.us.

Contemporary style combines with soft blue color in the Swarovski 2058B SS9 XILION ceramic flatback in Marbled Blue. These enhanced 2058 flatbacks display many facets for the luminosity of a multi-layered cut and intensified color. The table size is small and high, allowing more space for the facets to catch and reflect light. These ceramic flatbacks feature a unique texture created from a marbled blue pattern that is accented occasionally with a bit of white. A polished look creates an occasional reflection of soft light on the facets of this component. Use an adhesive to attach these flatbacks to clothing, accessories and more! SS9 flatbacks are approximately 2.5 to 2.7mm in diameter.

I am battling with the absurd power usage of ubuntu 11.04. On windows 7 (which came preinstalled) I can get around 4:30 hours turning everything off (wifi, bluetooth, lowest brightness for screen) with same settings I get 2 hours with ubuntu. I was wondering if I install xubuntu will that help me reduce my power usage?
Yes, but not on that scale.
To change your kernel to something that will increase your batter life, you need to use the kernel that is in the Proposed updates repository. For more on how to enable that, look here.
Yes, but almost definitely it wouldn't increase AC work hours by two times. Xubuntu has less tools and apps, and more optimized to be used in older, less powerful computers.
I don't think this is Ubuntu's fault. Battery life on a computer decreases over time. Ubuntu isn't going to steal two hours of battery life, I know this because I have a netbook which gets the same battery life as it did when it was running Windows XP. It is currently running Ubuntu.

An auction at the Louisville Slugger Museum pulled in $253,000 for a 1924 Babe Ruth autographed professional model baseball bat.
According to a news release from Hunt Auctions, two collections of sports memorabilia also did well at the weekend auction.
A group of autographed baseballs assembled by the general manager of the St. Louis Jefferson Hotel in the early 1900 sold for more than $102,000. The collection included an R.J. (Bobby) Wallace single signed baseball and an incredibly rare 1915 Miller Huggins single signed baseball.
The second large dollar collection was a group of 20th century baseball programs which sold for over $89,000.
Hunt Auctions President David Hunt said the collections prove that there still are some great "attic finds" remaining in the hobby.

The Microsoft SoundLab is a group at Microsoft that supports our needs for sounds and sound effects, mostly for video games. They have handled most of the Microsoft Game Studio sounds, for games like Halo, Fable, and Forza. Mike Caviezel walks us through the SoundLab and talks about what it's like to create interesting noises for a living.
Oops, something didn't work.
I see Apple computers being used. Why is that? Because of the available software/hardware or because of OSX itself being better for sound production?
@ZippyV:Maybe it's because they make a better sound when you drop them?
Seriously, that's a good question. I bet it has to do with the available software.
@ZippV & @Steve Wortham, your both right. I'm a MS developer, but i'm also a musician/producer, and in my home studio I have an apple laptop for that very reason; hardware avaliability, software choices and intergration, simple setup with equipment (audio and midi mappings etc..)
Im split between two worlds
great vid also
@ZippyV: If a game studio had someone work in a widely used Mac authoring application, they need to support moving that project over to work with it. Macs are somewhat common in most of the production areas of Microsoft that work with outside vendors and services.

I have a friend from Mississippi and I've heard him use this expression sometimes: slicker than snot on a doorknob. What exactly does it mean? (I guess it's something positive but I'm not too sure myself.)
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Doorknobs, generally being made of smooth materials such as brass or glass, are somewhat slippery. Snot, also being made of smooth materials, is comparably slippery.
Combine the two and you have quite the traction-less situation.
This is a vivid metaphor known colloquially as a 'redneck expression', like colder than a witch's tit in a brass brassiere or hotter than two rats [redacted] in a wool sock.
For what it's worth, I have always heard it as
I'm inclined to think this expression may be a coinage from Harlan Ellison (sci-fi writer hero of my youth, who moved on to become a successful Hollywood screenwriter). The earliest occurrence of slicker than snot I can find is from his 1972 The other glass teat: further essays of opinion on television. He writes of some particularly abysmal TV shows that they have vanished...
Based on the fact that doo-doo through a colander occurs nowhere else in Google Books, it seems likely to me that Ellison created both expressions there and then, but only the former survived.
Ellison himself is pretty slick with words - among which I'm quite taken with his "The two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity."
As regards meaning, per Ellison's usage above, it's an alliterative conjunction of (pejorative) slickness with a situation whereby something exceptionally unpleasant turns out to be exactly where you can't avoid coming into contact with it (you have to turn the knob to use the door).
More recent usages often dispense with the "unpleasant" connotation, with the expression being used as a (sometimes even admiring) metaphorical reference to a smooth operator, or simply a literal reference to slipperiness (icy roads, pavements, etc.)
To me, it means that your hand will come off of said doorknob VERY FAST! Based on the idea that if you grab onto a doorknob that has something unknown on it, your first instinct is to let go. But once you realize that said substance is SNOT, your entire mind and body will be completely consumed with the visceral commitmentment to remove your hand!! Perhaps at speed approaching the speed of sound.
And anybody with a whit of imagination can relate, and will unconsciously wince at the thought of sticking their own hand on a similar doorknob.
The connotations of slick in US usage are broader than in British usage. In the USA, slick can mean both physically slippery ("Be careful! The roads are very slick this morning!") and metaphorically slippery ("His answer was too slick for her liking") or metaphorically polished ("She delivered a very slick presentation at the conference"); British usage does not generally imply physical slipperiness.
It is not apparent from the OP's question whether the referent is a person or a physical object.
For me, describing a person as slicker than snot on a doorknob strongly suggests that they are given to sophistry, equivocation, evasiveness or the deceitful manipulation of appearances; they are certainly not to be trusted.
A similarly described physical object (e.g. a road surface or knife handle) is extremely slippery and lacking in grippability, and may also be unpleasant to touch for either physical or psychological reasons.
It's a colourful expression, but a pretty vulgar one. In other words, it's ideal for teenagers who want to piss off their parents.

During cancer therapy, you may notice changes in your skin and/or nails. These changes vary based on the type and dose of therapy you are receiving. Some common changes with radiation therapy include redness, peeling, thin or fragile skin and/or increased sensitivity to sunlight. If you are receiving chemotherapy, you may notice changes in skin tone or pigmentation, very dry skin, rashes, redness, peeling, and/or increased sensitivity to sunlight. If you develop any of these problems, be sure to show them to your oncology healthcare team, as they can be signs of reactions to some medications or can require adjustments to the doses of chemotherapy or radiation. Your fingernails, and possibly toenails, may become discolored, weak, break or lift off, or develop ridges (which will grow out over time). For most people, the nail changes are temporary and will grow back to normal after some time. It may take about 6 months after treatment is stopped for nails to return to prior condition.

2017/18 Transfers - A lot of players left and a lot of players came in.Some of those who left,I wanted to keep when I took over but they were not interested in negotiating a new contract so off they went.Those who left in February were causing problems and harming the squad's harmony,there contracts were up in June 2018 so I let them go early to solve the problem.A lot of players came in to replace the ones who left but also to leave my print on the club,my aim was to be top half and to possibly challenge 3rd place which was a playoff spot.I actually managed to use the entire transfer budget up so I would definitely need to meet the boards expectations!
3. fußball liga - League Table - All I can really say is that was much easier then I was originally expecting.We set new records for points and goals scored in what was a brilliant season.We averaged at 2.7 goals per game while conceding 0.9 which showed that our defence was excellent while our attacking was pretty much unstoppable at times.Our biggest win of the season was 7-0 against Werder ll who also set a new record...for goals conceded,they only conceded 167 which I think is a record that won't be beat!
Players,Stats and Awards
Pascal Breier was the clubs top scorer smashing the previous record of 17 by scoring 23 in 34 appearances!He has proved to be a bargain at £55k,he looks like he should be able to do more of the same at a higher level and will definitely get a chance at doing so next season.He probably would have hit 25 games if it wasn't for suspension and injuries!
Ante Mihaljevic topped the assist chart with a club record of 17 but also chipped in with a very impressive 18 goals in 36 appearances,all from the AMR position.He was the top performer averaging at 7.63 which helped contribute to him winning Spieler des Jahres!
Special mentions to Anderson Bamba and Stian Ringstad who both played their absolute best during the season.Bamba was a rock in defence who we did miss when he was injured or suspended,he also took a paycut as well which is pleasing.Ringstad was pretty much unstoppable in the AML position as he scored 9 times as well as contributing with 16 assists which helped him pick up five man of the match awards during the season.
I was not actually anticipating a season that turned out to be that easy!We topped the table at the start of the season and we topped it at the end to clinch not just promotion but the title as well.We set records for goals scored as well points total,I'm not actually to bothered with the points we dropped as the challengers were dropping more points then us so it was like a walk in the park.I know for sure that next season will not be that easy,especially playing the teams relegated from the Bundesliga so we will see what we are truly capable of.
After the season finished,I received two offers from Mexican side Santos Laguna and MLS side New England Revolution.I managed in Mexico in FM11 and I found it to be a nightmare to start off with so maybe I'll manage in Mexico much later down the line!As for the MLS,I would only manage Toronto,Vancouver,Seattle or New York (just to keep the Red Bull connection!).I will more then likely be at RB Leipzig next season unless an absolutely ridiculous offer comes in from a big club!

Slocomb, AL - Blueberries are beginning to mean big business in the Wiregrass.
Just a few years ago Ben Blaxton traded in his sales job and bought this farm in Slocomb to grow blueberries. He's got ten acres planted right now, and by next year he'll have 85.
"I did the research and saw the money that you could make on it and was thinking wow why doesn't everybody do this. You can make a lot of money doing it. Then you get out there and start doing it and you realize wow I know why other people don't do it," said Blaxton.
It takes a large capital investment and knowledge to get a blueberry operation going, but local famers have one advantage, the Wiregrass Blueberry Growers Association. From marketing to packaging, the organization helps members get the most out of their berries. It looks like there will be plenty to sell this year.
"We haven't had any weather events that have come through and hurt the crop yet. We're looking good production wise. Hopefully we'll be able to get a good price for the berries so we can profitably pick," said Blaxton.
He's hoping to produce a couple thousand pounds per acre this year, but his blueberry bushes are still pretty young. It takes about 5 years for one to mature and by that point you are looking at 5,000 – 10,000 pounds per acre.
"This is a still a relatively new industry around here and these bushes are still pretty young. It is a risk and you have to be willing to not risk any more money than you can afford to lose," said Blaxton.
There are some blueberries plants producing fruit now, and then there will be another wave in a little over a month.

A Wind Advisory will be in effect in Butler County from 11:00 this morning until 6:00 this evening. Strong northwest winds averaging 30 mph are expected to assault the area, with gusts to 40 mph possible.
Our Grassland Fire Danger is forecasted to reach the "Very High" category around noon, peaking in the "Extreme" category by mid-afternoon, particularly in the western portions of our county. Currently, we are nestled up against the edge of a Red Flag Warning (exceptionally dangerous fire conditions), which encompasses Sedgwick County, Sumner County, Harvey County, and points west.
The combination of warm temps (around 50 degrees), stout winds, and dry grasses could cause any grass fires to spread out of control very quickly. Outdoor burning is highly discouraged today and any fires that do crop up should be reported quickly. Be safe… and help keep your neighbors and our firefighters safe!
