Hoping all goes well at the Re-union !
Tomorrow is Aug one a new month and nine days to the reunion so closing the journal and using my Aug journal
it opened at last its on 11 days to go now time to think about what i will wear since i did not not make my goal no new out fit thats fine have set a new goal . off i go i can do this
boy July flew by so fast and the its 12 days to the reunion did not get to my goal but i am going to go and have fun. set a new goal for Sept to do a memory walk with a spark friend she is the East Coast and I am on the west coast but it will be fun.
July 26 its day 10 of spark guys challenge to get 10 extra minutes of the fitness so Racey and I are going walking. then home to tidy up around the house and get a few extra fitness minutes in sun is out but since i mess up in the gym and pulled a muscle so taking today easy but not the day off . dealing with a house tax issues so it making want to eat even though i know that won't solve the issue i need to wait until Monday and sort this issue out.
To keep my self moving to my goal i joined Spark Guy and his challenge and reading his blogs today was a about out jump rope moment since I don't jump rope I decided to to do the chicken Fat work out three times thought . and since its Friday its dance party night
I did get my Racey walk in
learned the hard to follow directions and do the foot press exercise right do 3 sets of 5 for 15 to start with not 3 sets of 15 ouch today and heating pad day so dance party wont last and hour to night just going to do my best and heal up and I have 15 days to go until the reunion and I am on day 9 of spark guys challenge tomorrow its double digits that looks so much better than single for some reason .
Coach Nancy says:
When you take the focus off the scale, amazing things can happen.
What great advice we all know this is important part of out journey in the past I have found my self weighing several times day and even in different room. I have tossed the scales down the basement steps given them away to Good Well but some how they talk they way back into the house and when they are here I struggle watching them go up and down. Spark guy talks about streaks of fitting in ten min work outs. I am adding my own streak to weight only every other week and get those fitness minutes to increase and the weight will decrees .
Dute06 sorry you are unable to attend the reunion i would not go either but i still live in the city where i went to school. and the odd think is its now a retirement home and extend care center .

Hope all who go to there's have a great time !
This journey is not going to end over night i need to remember i did get this way over night and i need to just deal with one day at time no huge goals to stress me out when i don't lose the weight like you often read about 2 pounds a week 8 pounds a month something i have not done in ages .
today Racey and I did three walks short but walks the grass got a hair cut and watering the lawn. we had a huge wind storm pass though so that interrupted our evening walk so did things in the house joined spark guys team for the 10 minute challenge each day. going to challenge my self to add 10 minutes to regular work out plan of 45 keep adding time until its back to the 120 minutes i have been doing working on add steps to my tracker. have a walk planned with a spark friend in Sept she will be walking in the East coast me on the west coast. storm waring again so need to end and log out

I have been on this journey since 2012 and only lost 39 pounds sounds like a lot but for three years it not much I have had weeks I stayed the same gained to 15 pounds lost and regained them so like Erma Broombeck said she had lost enough weight to be on a charm bracelet. I feel the way. I have made the list why I want the weight off
Gathered the quotes the work plans joined the gym have a tracker just need to remember these three things and the journey will be more fun
1 do it to get healthy not for an event or some else
2 take one meal at time not the entire week
3 it will not happen over night
I have started over more times than I want to count but I am starting again not over just doing the hike over.
Its like when I go visit Tom we go the Garden of the Gods have been there several times but each time I see and look forward to revisiting the park I have a new map now stop doing this for and event. I need to do it to get healthy and make that the the only reason.

Determination today leads to success tomorrow! good advice that is all i to have to eat right and exercise one day at a time and they slowly add up to a week and a soon two them we have a habit a sun set reminds me i completed another day on the journey thankful for a safe journey on the trail each day and enter my none scale victories in my journal . it can be as simple as getting 9 glasses of water or not snacking at the computer

my flame was on low again figured out why watching to much news again and then my brain tells me it time to eat. I need to remember to make a shopping list and plan dont go to the store hunger I have the tools just sometimes forget to use them and then I get my self in trouble .
I need to keep telling my self I can do this and like spark guy says ten minutes at a time one meal at a time .
I enjoy collecting and sharing quotes and post them where I can see them and keep myself going to the end zone. Found one that says a lot You can save write down all the great quotes and exercise tips but the real thing I need to do is do the work out and follow the quotes advice. So I have joined spark Guys challenge to see how many 10 minute works I can get in each day then will add my regular routine back in with a goal if 120 min a day it a one day at a time deal
The ultimate goal isnt to look fit but to be fit

Today is Thursday and time for an update on finding my lost MO JOE.
Thanks to so many helpful spark family a blog by Spark guy came at just the right time I was reminded that summer heat and life in general gets us down at times. I just need to sit down and re do my plan and goals Do not beat my self. Do not start over.
Like the quote that says, If we get a flat tire we change it and move on, we dont start over just get back in the car and continue on our errand.
Like golf has the mulligan doing the stroke over. I can do the same and that is just what I am doing
That is what I did
I have achieve the goals I listed in my blog. New goals its time to get back to doing an accurate food journal. Found a fun quote your body keeps and accurate account even if your pen does not
Adding more water to the day
exercise time spark guys ten minute plan can sure add up quickly standing up and doing simple exercises siting standing up marching in place squats side kicks to name a few. today they have a towel exercise I adding to list. Cant forget my favorite chicken fat I have added some of my own exercises the second time thought.
Up dated my spark page and motivational board on the start page helped too
while walking in the Park on Monday had some take my picture its now my new before picture I did go back and look at my before picture that was taken in June 2010 that got me re going also I can see how far I have come. My quote continues to be taking baby steps is the winning plan not how fast I go
Remember if I am moving I out lap the coach potato and the person who did not get back up after their fall on the trail.
Thanks for the support hints and tips and sharing your stories about your journey on the trail. Have a great day. picture of my brother and me in June 2010
this was taken on Monday as my last picture in the 160;s
HAVE RE WRITTEN SOME GOALS AND RE WROTE MY PLAN IN PLACES KNOW now that i don't need to an hour in the gym every day can did 30 min three times a week and sneak in the short work outs at home and they add up walk early in the morning . remember that need to plan and eat what i plan to eat to stay sparky. and adding lemon to my water helps me get my 8 glasses in and ice tea counts as water.
met my goals for i talked about in my blog . thanks to my spark family i am moving FORWARD The quote Friends are family by choice is so true and they are showing me i just needed to ask for help and not pretend everything was O kay and a good piece from my brother when some one the family says some thing like why are you eating that cookie thought you were on a diet let it fo in one ear and out the other . marching on to the class reunion may not lose that 10 pounds but trying for five since i have 20 days to go.
Persevere and you will win the prize.
If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up. ~J.M. Power
Funny I wrote a blog on losing my MO JOE after reading another spark friend with the same disease. Thought about what a couple family members said to me at a picnic in June. I am the over weight family member Most of them are shaped like Barbie and Ken
Since it was a potluck I was assigned desserts you have your moms cookie baking gift and bake for Tom so dessert is your job.
I took a couple to enjoy !!! Of course a comment was made I thought you were trying to lose weight.
Since starting spark in 2012 until now 2014 I went from 198 to 163 and no one has mentioned anything the lose!
They seem to notice the times I have none spark foods on my plate.
Made me want to eat all the more cookies. I had forgotten about the comment until another spark friend share her struggles and lack of family support. And it all came back so I did a short blog with mini goals to meet this week. When I checked into Spark this afternoon what a surprise when a note popped up telling me I had a popular blog award thank you so much for the votes and encouraging words of support my spark is on high in fact it 1000% checking in early to thank you for the votes and tips to get me going. I walked out side early
Did a errand at the Mall and added two loops as well and hit the for 35 minutes
The woo hoo is that the bathroom sink would not drain this morning then that little silly voice said. just think you can skip the walk and gym today to handle this . wrong its not leaking on the floor! and I would need to go out to get liquid Plumber any way so
Walk done Morning Mass Walgreen for Liquid plumber Mall to pay a bill and get a walk in there too hit the gym for 35 minutes and them home to tackle the water issue sink had drained in that time dumped the stuff down the drain and headed to the kitchen time for breakfast and then run the hot water down the sink . Clog in sink gone goals checked off the list and water goal for the day done and its only 2 PM The mini goal is going good and I have decided that My spark family is here to be my cheer section. Talked with Tom (brother) and he said you know I think your doing great just dont always think to say anything. And consider the fact you only see the relatives twice a year let it go in your left ear and out the right. Thanks again and I will be reporting in Wed afternoon . just need to remember baby steps are a great way to get where we are going . no scales until WED.

I know I have slipped and slide along the trail telling my self I am doing all I can do to get this weight off but when I set down and really sit and take a hard look I have given it only 49% the last several weeks first I was waiting to get the biopsy done then waiting for the results no insurance stress so I ate it may have been healthy but to much can be unhealthy
Pity parties play a role poor me everyone else is making summer travel plans its another stay home vacation but then I stop many of my spark family are staying home too
And that has nothing to do with getting the weight off . Maybe I can have another Denver Christmas
Telling my self its too warm to work out yet a few months ago it was to cold to do any thing I need to stop and remind my self getting up when its cool I can walk and when it warms up I stay in where it cool .
Its a new week no I am not starting over staring over would mean I would be back at 198 pounds
I am not going there
Even though the TV ads say look at what this person did in 3 mos of just using the stair stepper ten minutes wonder how much photo shop was used just be me and give 110% and put the spark tools to use and not just use the water glass.
22 days to go no no 10 pound loss the scales won stayed her same and no Nsv this week
HOW I am going WIN this plight? Of lost MO Jo #1. to remember short goals are important put them some place I will see them every day a grand plan is going to the gym every day for 1 hour not reasonable when its 100 degrees out side a reason able goal go to the gym 30 mins three days and go on my way home from Mass take a banana with me to have as my snack them breakfast when I get home.
#2. Want to complete this goal Monday Tuesday Wed and not talk my self into saying I do it latter the appt is set 8:30 Am
3 get up by 6Am so Racey and I are walking in the cool morning
4 water in each day
and tracker on
will up date Wed and add some new goals
like a spark friend told me once
simple and
I am not there yet but I am closer than I was yesterday
A lot of small changes make a big difference so start now unknown
Baby steps will get me going again

Don't quit.
My husband's class just had their 50th anniversary reunion but we didn't go, since my husband hadn't seen any of those 130 people since he left school. But, I did look up the web site where they had pictures and there were lots of them, so realize you will be in a LOT of pictures. That is a great reason to get the weight off before August.
I have been sparking along for several years and play the yo yo game very well loge it gain it back. struggling to get out and stay out of the 160 "S the good thing is I started at 195 and now bounce between 159 and 164 . i received my class reunion announcement this month. Its being held in Aug so this gives me time to get a few pounds off before the reunion. its our 45 th class reunion ! This week I say the new I phone ad and the chicken Fat songs . what memories it brought back of PE class !!! i could see us doing the work out in our red shorts !!! found it on the internet and book marked it so now i can do it a couple times a day. I have added some ball work and hand weights to it and starting out doing wall push ups . have made it a full week today ! thankful that the exercises are getting easier . the Dog thinks it great fun to watch me dance around the living room
thankful it gets easier each day
so will be anxious to see if I can get some of that Chicken Fat to go
When you see a duck move with ease of grace across the pond remember it is because under the water his feet are moving like crazy

Structural equation models with latent variables are sometimes estimated using an intuitive three-step approach, here denoted factor score regression. Consider a structural equation model composed of an explanatory latent variable and a response latent variable related by a structural parameter of scientific interest. In this simple example estimation of the structural parameter proceeds as follows: First, common factor models areseparately estimated for each latent variable. Second, factor scores areseparately assigned to each latent variable, based on the estimates. Third, ordinary linear regression analysis is performed among the factor scores producing an estimate for the structural parameter. We investigate the asymptotic and finite sample performance of different factor score regression methods for structural equation models with latent variables. It is demonstrated that the conventional approach to factor score regression performs very badly. Revised factor score regression, using Regression factor scores for the explanatory latent variables and Bartlett scores for the response latent variables, produces consistent estimators for all parameters.

I have been using a 30yo 6 ton bottle jack, and a 3 ton floor jack for years. Both of them won't raise to 20 inches in heighth, and both of them needed oil in order to get them to raise again. I got tired of reliying on something so old, so I bought this. The first thing you need to do with these Pitsburg jacks is pull the oil plug out, loosen the release valve 3 turns out, and then manually pump the handle 20 times quickly. This purges the jack of air. Then you need to get some hydraulic jack oil and top off the oil inside the jack until its just under the hole. Then replace the oil plug and your good to go.I first tested the jack manually, and believe me, that took a long time to get it fully extended! I then put 6 drops of air tool oil into the hose coupler and then hooked up to my compressor and used the power to get her fully extended, which was a lot faster!Believe it or not, despite it having an air motor, it really isn't all that loud at all. I wouldn't use an air impact wrench or air rachet without hearing protection, but this is so quiet you could run it inside the house. I then began testing it under load, which was less then 1 ton.It jacked up my tractor no problem, it was so fun to watch it raise under power. The good thing about this jack is that the ram will not jam. (Hey, that ryhmes!) Once you reach the top of its travel, it will drop down half an inch or so, good feature. Most bottle jacks require weight on them to lower.This one is nice cause it has springs on either side that help the ram to lower weather or not you have weight on the jack. Overal durable construction, jack feels solid, quality 3/8 air hose, I can see this lasting me a good while. Highly recommended!

This is a powerful jack, but I,m currently on my 2nd one. Both has had the same problem the fluid reservoir leaks at the bottom after a few uses, must be a weak lower seal. But it is smooth and powerful. If you buy one buy the extended warranty.

About Me Auto Enthusiast, Casual Driver, Truck Enthusiast
I use this primarily to raise a car and a lifted 4X4, probably used 2 times per month for the last year. It will not fit under the car without first using a low profile jack. This jack has plenty of power and lifts at a quick rate, provided your compressor can keep up. I don't see the spec but would estimate it uses at least 7 cfm. So be prepared to wait if you have a compressor much under that cfm. The ACME thread extension is useful to get more lift once raising and setting on jack stands. I have used the option of manually pumping it, which is an acceptable amount of work for the lift you get. That is not why I purchased it, though.Only con I listed was "heavy", but that is not really a true con when it comes to jacks, IMHO. it even comes with a seal kit and replacement instructions, which was nice to see.Watch the HF catalogs for a few months and you'll find a good sale price. Don't forget to get the properly rated jack stands if using it for a vehicle!

great little jack
By baer19d
from Savannah, Ga
I'm not a professional mechanic buy I do maintain my own vehicles, ne of which tends to need jacked up quite often. Having a pneumatic jack just makes it easier. I actually bought this at a yard sale for $25. I'm not sure I would've paid full price for it though.

Looks like a great little jack

About Me Auto Enthusiast, Shade tree machanic
Just picked this up today. Tried it out by lifting my 1 Ton diesel truck. Now problem at all. I did the lift on packed sand in Ga.and the footprint didn't allow the jack to sink. Looks very well built. Lifted the truck like it wasn't even there. I plan to use it lift the truck to grease it at home and on the road. It will be great for tire changes on the truck and fifth wheel camper while on the road. They happen more often than you may think. Being in the middle of no where with a blow out can be a problem if you can't get the tire of the truck or the camper off the ground. You very well may not get a service truck at all. Portable floor jacks won't do the job. Regular hydraulic bottle jacks will but are harder to use. The truck and camper are heavy. I carry a compressor in the camper so air is no problem. If no air is available you can just pump it without an air supply. Should have had this years ago. It takes a blow out on the side of I95 with very marginal lifting ability to make this a must. Longevity, well we will see but I'll bet it will give great service for years to come.

So far so good
By Mark
from Undisclosed
I bought this bottle jack so that I could jack up my motorhome without having to crawl under it. It weights 13,000 lbs (this jack is rated at 24,000). So far it seems to do the trick. It's really cool to just stand there and watch the wheel come off the ground. The down side is that you have to turn the little screw on the jack to let the jack, and whatever it lifted. Which means you have to get under the vehicle. I plan to use my HF welder and manufacture a long rod to reach this screw so I don't have to be down there to lower the MH. Otherwise, it's a good jack and gets you through the most uncertain part of the process.

Dear community,
All of a sudden, my blog's visual editor is not showing anymore. I can only make posts and edit them in the CODE editor, currently. Also, some special characters in the blog posts are not showing correctly anymore. They're now some sort of strange #ä"§($ etc.
I really don't know how to fix this, as I've already installed the new WP version (the problem had started while using WP 2.1.3) and it still doesn't work. It's work in all of my blogs but this one, and I haven't changed or broken anything as far as I can tell.
This is my main blog, so I'm really dependent on your help and it will be highly appreciated!
Looking forward to your replies. Thank you so much!

Valley Coaches who can't keep their pants on.....
Posted in the Smithers Forum
#97 Sep 21, 2010
You guys are really retarted. I think if you know them that you should keep certian things to yourself because eventhough most peole like gossip it is rather hurtful to some and unless you really know them don't say stuff, just keep your hurtful remarks to yourself.
#98 Sep 21, 2010
I can't believe grown people that tell us not to spread rumors come to this site and talk about my coaches and classmates. I dare someone to post 1 more thing about any coach.
#99 Sep 21, 2010
good job, whoever you are. own up to your mistakes !
#100 Sep 21, 2010
Some of these rumor spreading people, GET A LIFE!!
#101 Sep 21, 2010
U guys are sorry! I have to admit I did get a laugh, a little bit of truth is in here, not much. I remember some of the things that took place years ago, I know them well. Let sleeping dogs lay.

#107 Sep 21, 2010
This site is the most retarded thing i have every come across. The people on here (besides the actual REAL people that put their actual REAL names on here) Are worthless Trolls that are just trying to start shit at Valley. They are pathetic and they need to get a life. The people that you all are talking about are good people and dont deserve to be talked about like that. Most of you all are probably parents that need to grown the hell up, you talk all this crap syaing "ohh these cheerleaders are drug addicted whores" and "these kids only get on the team cause they are the coaches son/daughter" But really your the drug addicted whore and your not good enough and never will be good enough to do a single damn thing in your life. I bet not even 99.9% of the people that post this trash on here has half the balls to come out and say any of this shit to anyone they talked abouts face. So everyone on here needs to stay outta everyone elses business and get your OWN fucking life and stop trying to pry your way into everybody elses cause yours is pathetic, worthless and boring.
#108 Sep 21, 2010
why dont you all that are bitching jus stop lookin at this site? ur jus puttin urself dwn in the low ranks as the ppl talkin shit, an if the stuff was said there has to be a reason an it probably is true or it wouldnt have been said, and i doubt this is ever going to stop so jus quit ur bitchin an get back on ur facebook or myspace, it doesnt mean that there immature for talkin crap on here, usually its the nice quiet ppl that are on here hidin thereself tellin how they really feel or the truth that they think they know so there not being immature or anything at all there just keeping thereself from looking bad but cant say how they feel an tell there name. so i think u all bitchin about ppl talkin crap on here need to get a life;

You need to get a life! If you are so backwards and quiet that you can't say anything to anyone's face and would rather defame people behind a fake name, then that is just a sad excuse for the trashy and immature kind of person you are! As for not saying anything, I will look at this site all I want to. The reason being, there are family members and good friends that are being lied abouto n here because some skanky people don't have any friends because they are "too quiet to say anything". If I were you, I would be completely and utterly embarassed!

Hey Jason, you can suck one! I have my location hidden because I choose to. My first and last name are on here and clear to read. Where I am located has nothing to do with what is being said on here about my family members and friends! Yes, I do check on here, because I happen to know most of the people that are being slandered on here, so YES, I do check it. As far as writing a bunch of lies about people, NO, I don't do that. I am a grown adult and I act as such. Which is more than most can say on here!

Pay Dispersion and Work Performance
The effect of intra-firm pay dispersion on work performance is controversial and the empirical evidence is mixed. High pay dispersion may act as an extra incentive for employees' effort or it may reduce motivation and team cohesiveness. These effects can also coexist and the prevalence of one effect over the other may depend on the use of different definitions of what constitutes a "team." For this paper we collected a unique dataset from the men's major soccer league in Italy. For each match we computed the exact pay dispersion of each work team and estimated its effect on team performance. Our results show that when the work team is considered to consist of only the players who contribute to the result, high pay dispersion has a detrimental impact on team performance. Several robustness checks confirm this result. In addition, we show that enlarging the definition of work team causes this effect to disappear or even become positive. Finally, we find that the detrimental effect of pay dispersion is due to worst individual performance, rather than a reduction of team cooperation.

Australia were bowled out for the embarrassing total of 74, with Nuwan Kulasekara (five for 22) completely bamboozling the top order with a textbook spell of swing bowling. The Sri Lankans stuttered in the chase, losing six wickets along the way, but still managed to surpass the total with 30 overs to spare.
After losing the Test series 3-0, then losing heavily to Australia in the first ODI in Melbourne, Sri Lanka have shown great resolve to turn the tables on their opponents in Adelaide and Brisbane, according to Ford. "I've always had huge admiration for the Sri Lankan fight and the character that they show," Ford said.
"I think everybody in the camp was a little bit disappointed after the Test series and certainly after the first ODI but they've stuck together, they've chatted a lot, the coaches have worked really hard with the players and they've come here and certainly put in the best bowling performance since I've been involved.
"So once again it's great to see the character that the Sri Lankan cricketers show."
Michael Clarke's side's inability to handle the swing of Kulasekara on Friday was not an indication of a greater malaise in Australian cricket, according to Ford.
"No batsman really looked at home out there on that surface so I don't think it's fair to start judging Australian batting on that performance," he said.
"But certainly one of the things that we've spoken a lot about is improving the ability to assess conditions and then adapt to conditions and I thought the bowlers did that fantastically. At times on the tour we've shown that we can adapt as a batting unit as well and that's something we have to keep doing."
Finally, Ford spoke of the value of opening bowler Kulasekara to the team.
"He's always been a big factor for us. He does a fantastic job with the new ball and has great skills at the end of the innings as well," Ford said. "He really used those conditions superbly well and bowled the perfect length required on that surface."

Thanks. It was my first time using it. I have sense seen the book in a simulated reader and the links work there. Conclusion: preview doesn't support links.
Re: table of contentstbrosz Aug 17, 2012 9:13 AM (in response to arnulf)
That's been my experience as well. Links like the table of contents don't seem to work on the online PubIt preview function.
As an alternative, you can download and install the Nook for PC reader or Adobe Digital Editions.
I downloaded my converted EPUB file from the PubIt publishing page, and then previewed it using these programs. On both of them the links in my file work fine, so I'm assuming they'd work on a real Nook reader (I don't own one).

I love my family. I miss them when I'm not with them. Now that I've said those things, there's absolutely no reason for any of you to e-mail me, chastising me for supposedly being ungrateful at having a wonderful family. I'm grateful. I appreciate them. I know I'm lucky. But I also think it's time we all admitted that sometimes it's nice to be alone. It's time for us to come out of that closet — the closet whose floor we dump our clothes on when nobody else is around.
Both of my kids are off at college, so when my wife went out of town for a week recently, I was all alone. Sure, there were times when I was lonely, but — am I a bad person for saying this? — there were times when it was bliss.
When many of us find ourselves suddenly having the house to ourselves, we react like kids whose parents are out of town. One friend of mine turns on really loud music and thinks about smoking a cigarette, even though she doesn't smoke. I enjoyed doing scandalously rebellious things like leaving my dresser drawers just a little bit open, and having two different TVs on at the same time. I ate cereal in bed, and there was nobody there to tell me that I was probably going to spill it all over the covers. If I felt like going to a movie instead of eating dinner, I went to the movie. If I didn't feel like washing dishes for a couple of days, I didn't. (I discovered, however, that for some strange reason, they're a bit harder to wash after a couple of days.)
There was also a very pleasant silence that permeated the house. I understand why yogis and others derive so much from meditation. I no longer think those people who take a vow of silence one day a week are wackos. There was definitely something spiritual about not talking and not hearing others talk for hours at a time.
Short-term solitude works when you travel, too. It's nice to share travel experiences with those you love, but once in a while, traveling alone can be great. First of all, when you walk through the airport, you actually have one hand free. You can go into the airport store and buy two Advil for three dollars, and nobody says, "Are you crazy?" When you get to the hotel, you can stay in the first room they give you. You don't have to move because it's too close to the elevator or too hot or too cold. And the big bonus is you don't have to start talking about where you're going to go to dinner while you're finishing breakfast. You'll find a place to eat when you're hungry.
Again, I'd hate to be alone for a significant amount of time, but I definitely recommend it to everyone once in while. When you reach the last day of your "alone time," you'll probably become aware of just how much you miss the people you're alone from. That's another benefit of this experience — it makes you appreciate the people you're usually around.
But I didn't have much time to wallow in those feelings on the last day. I was too busy picking up seven days' worth of sports sections from various rooms, trying to remember where I put all those phone messages, and wondering what's the best way to remove dried bran flakes from a hundred-year-old quilt.

Bruce Alberts. Photo ©Tom Kochel.
On November 17, 2015, Bruce Alberts, the Chancellor's Leadership Chair in Biochemistry and Biophysics for Science and Education at the University of California, San Francisco, delivered the 26th annual Ullyot Public Affairs Lecture at the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia.
We all agree that science education is important—but what if we're going about it the wrong way? Bruce Alberts, known as "the education president" of the National Academy of Sciences, has big ideas on redefining science education.
Alberts, a prominent biochemist and one of the country's most passionate voices for science education, believes the central purpose of education is empowering students to learn how to learn on their own. Rather than simply conveying what science has discovered about the natural world, we need to empower all students by giving them the knowledge and practice of thinking like a scientist. These skills are essential to citizens in a democracy.
Bruce Alberts, a prominent biochemist with a strong commitment to the improvement of science and mathematics education, is the Chancellor's Leadership Chair in Biochemistry and Biophysics for Science and Education at the University of California, San Francisco. He took that position in 2005 after serving two six-year terms as the president of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). From 2008 to 2013 he also served as editor in chief of Science.
While at the NAS, Alberts led development of the landmark National Science Education standards subsequently implemented in school systems nationwide. From 2000 to 2009 he served as the cochair of the InterAcademy Council in Amsterdam, governed by the heads of 15 national academies of sciences and established to provide scientific advice to the world. In 2014 he was awarded the National Medal of Science by President Barack Obama, and from 2009 to 2011 he served as one of Obama's first three Science Envoys. He is also one of the original authors of The Molecular Biology of the Cell, a preeminent textbook in the field now in its sixth edition.
Alberts received a bachelor's degree in biochemical sciences in 1960 from Harvard College and a PhD in 1965 from Harvard University.
The Ullyot Public Affairs Lecture was established in 1990 to emphasize to the general public the positive role that the chemical and molecular sciences play in our lives. Ullyot lectures are held annually and are open to the public. Ullyot lecturers are distinguished in their fields, nationally recognized, and able to communicate to a nonscientific audience.
The Ullyot Public Affairs Lecture is jointly sponsored by the Chemical Heritage Foundation, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of the Sciences, and the Philadelphia Section and Delaware Section of the American Chemical Society.
Glenn Edgar Ullyot earned a BS in chemistry from the University of Minnesota and an MS and a PhD in chemistry from the University of Illinois. During a successful 38-year career with SmithKline & French Laboratories (now GlaxoSmithKline), Ullyot progressed through several stages of responsibility, from bench chemist to director of scientific liaison.
Ullyot's primary scientific interests were with medicinal chemistry, therapeutic agents, and their biological activity. He published many papers, received patents on numerous compounds, and played a significant role in the development of several products, including Benzidrex, a nonstimulating analog of the inhaler Benzidrine, and Diazide, a diuretic agent for the treatment of high blood pressure.
Ullyot was an active member of and leader in the American Chemical Society for more than 60 years and served on several important U.S. governmental committees. Owing to his deep commitment to education, he established the Ullyot Public Affairs Lecture, stating, "Chemistry, biology, and physics are the basic sciences that are keys to understanding the world around us. It is my hope that each Ullyot lecturer will increasingly stimulate more people to appreciate the positive impact these sciences and the people who pursue them have on our daily lives."
Ullyot lecturers are distinguished in their fields, nationally recognized, and able to communicate to a wide audience.

I always log in to my server(Amazon EC2) by: ssh -i blahblah.pem firstname.lastname@example.com This morning the server asked for a password which I never set.
I thought this could mean either my key(pem file) is corrupted somehow. Asked a friend to log in from another computer with his own copy of the pem file, he had the same problem.
Totally confused why this would happen all of a sudden, but I remembered I did this last night (which I thought was unrelated.):
/root had permissions 700.
chmod 770 root
then put it back by
chmod 700 root
made a mistake, but thought it would have no effect though.
Any suggestions to logging to my server? I am very confused by this, and I cannot create a new .pem file for my amazon ec2 instance. Thanks for the help!

The Power Out
by Electrelane
- Record Label: Beggars Banquet / Too Pure
- Release Date: Feb 3, 2004
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Entertainment WeeklyRecalls both early [Philip] Glass and Stereolab, at least until the squaling vocals begin, when it starts to conjure the art brut of punk foremothers like the Raincoats or the Slits. [Listen 2 This supplement, Feb 2004, p.16]
There are gimmicks, but there's musical merit, and genuine feeling to match the calculated charm.
Q MagazineVerity Susman's wayward, fragile Nico-lite vocals will either delight you or drive you nuts. [Mar 2003, p.102]
The album carries a compelling intensity among the varied and evocative songs.
Its not so much that Electrelanes signature film score sound has been replaced, more added to and built upon; becoming the veiled framework to a new - almost celebratory - level of contentment.
The Power Out's most impressive feature is the musicianship and songwriting skill on display.
Swapping the winding soundscapes of Rock It To The Moon for punchier, vocal-led pieces, Electrelane have struck creative gold.
This is probably destined for the darkest recesses of the John Peel programme, but it deserves the same attention afforded to similar one-offs such as British Sea Power.
UncutThe minimalist grooves grow ever tighter. [Feb 2004, p.71]
But even though the group perfectly defines the way that so many British art-school bands have sounded since the late '70s, in Electrelane's hands it still seems fresh.
MojoAn arresting cocktail of post-punk angularity and instinctive pop savy. [Feb 2004, p.102]
Equally inspired by The Raincoats and Jacques Brel, The Power Out veers from one inspired genre tribute to the next, if it never quite cements the band's identity.
The Power Out may surprise and confuse listeners expecting Rock It redux, and the new album has a few rough patches and a general inconsistency due to Electrelane's willingness to experiment.
BlenderA heartfelt batch of art-pop that never sounds snobby. [Mar 2004, p.117]
The sheer ambition of it is staggering at times and you can't help feeling that Electrelane are on the right trajectory.

Is EA Prepping for Army of Two Number Three?
Written Friday, April 15, 2011 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Despite failing to hit the right note with the critics, it appears that the Army of Two franchise did well enough at retail, as it could be that EA is looking to start work on a third title in the series, following up meatheaded co-op buddies Elliot Salem and Tyson Rios' previous adventures in Shanghai with Army of Two: The 40th Day.
A pair of job listings for the expanded Dead Space developer Visceral Games in Montreal (the developer now has studios in LA, Shanghai and Melbourne, as well as its original Redwood location) point towards an Army of Two sequel, as both are looking for fresh talent to join the team in working on the "Army of Two franchise". Seems pretty clear that Army of Two 3 could well be on the horizon then.
The job listings are after both a senior producer and a lead environment artist to join the team at Visceral in Montreal to work on what's referred to as a "multimillion selling hit." In response to the listing, EA representatives told GameSpot that "Army of Two continues to be a very important franchise. At this time, we have nothing to announce."
You can bet that if EA really does consider Army of Two to be a "very important franchise", we can expect to hear more about a third chapter in the series soon. Stay tuned!

The high tedium quotient of the average soccer game for most Americans affords motivation for the eye to wander–as mine is wandering right now– and take in the event's vibrant surroundings, including the flags whose colors provide the teams with the design of their uniforms. But not many know the backgrounds of these banners. Here is a handful of examples.
— Brazil: few realize that that the flag of this historic world soccer power was borrowed from the label on a 1930's lard pail, incorporating a yellow diamond, a blue planet, and myriad stars, on a background of a rich green not found in nature. Flashy but confusing — almost certainly a stopgap, while this historically unsettled nation grapples with its identity. Coffee more important than rubber? Bossa Nova bigger than both? Let's figure out all this and more, the Brazilian flag is saying to itself, and then come up with a design that shows it to the world.
— Italy's familiar green-white-red tricolor was designed in hopes of being mistaken for the even more familiar flag of richer, sexier France, tops worldwide in five-star Guide Michelin restaurants, host to the ultra-glamorous Cannes Film Festival, and otherwise always one-upping its Mediterranean neighbor. Italian military bands have occasionally been known to strike up "Le Marseillaise" at public events, for similar reasons. And France has filed an injunction to prevent Italy from changing the name of Leaning Tower of Pisa to the Leaning Tower of Eiffel. "A line must be drawn somewhere," sniffs the head of the Acadamie des Souvenirs Francaise.
— South Korea: Are the interlocking red and blue teardrop shapes forming that ball at the center of South Korea's flag celebrating the qualities of yin and yang, and are those Korean-language quotation marks at the four corners making an ironic comment? Or is the design meant to represent a Zen soccer ball vibrating in place? An expert on South Korean history and heraldry explains: "The whole thing is basically meaningless, actually. We just wanted to drive Kim Jong-il and those clowns up north bananas by coming up with something they think is a secret code that they can't decipher. Plus, of course, it looks very good on the tail of an airliner."
— Few people realize that the flag of Greece is patterned after a Ralph Lauren summer men's shirt–crisp blue-and-white stripes with a white cross in the upper left hand corner taking the place of the polo rider. Take a good look at it now, while you can, because as one of the conditions for the bailout of the Greek economy, the European Union will require Greece to change the pattern to a pure white background on which a large amount of red ink has been splattered.
— World Cup contenders Slovakia, Serbia and Slovenia share identical flag designs of horizontal red-white-and-blue bands, distinguished from one another only by a tiny superimposed national escutcheon. History tells us that these striking look-alikes were the handiwork of a fast-talking traveling flag salesman who swept through the region after the Balkan wars and sold all three sovereign nations the same design. By the time the three nations compared flags and the scam was uncovered, he was long gone.
— To summarize: Of the 23 nations represented in World Cup competition, 12 fly flags consisting of simple vertical or horizontal bands of varying colors. Why the boring similarities? Research reveals that schoolchildren draw more flags than any other group in the population of a given nation, so the design must be geared to a child's minimal graphic skills. And because the standard-issue schoolroom crayon box contains only red, yellow, blue, black and green, these – plus the white of a blank page — are the colors most often seen in national flags. And did you know that Uzbekistan's flag used to be a lion's head with the body of a sea turtle, because–
Wait! Things are getting exciting down on the field. A player appears to be coughing and yawning at the same time!
