For a conversation to take place, two people must feel the desire to stop what they are doing and converse. If there is technically no need to converse, the odds of finding two strangers willing to do so are quite low. And every time you get burned by initiating an unreciprocated dialogue, you lower those odds even more
That's why forced grouping as it was in some "old school" MMOs was never encouraging socialization. People use to think they are some kind of "brothers" because they killed some dragon and stole his virtual trinkets together, but at the end, it means nothing.
Real socialization, forging friendships, is done outside of the forced grouping part of MMOs.
And "it has been PROVEN that players will not socialize of they can solo" is a huge pile of smelly crap. Nothing has been proven except that some people are unable to make contact with other players if they aren't forced to by game mechanics. If others can do that just fine, then the problem lies in those players unable to do it, and not in the game design.

This is where your server is fighting two other servers. I'm usually chatting so much I dont see that guy behind me jumping on me and clubbing me in the back. Check out Lion's Arch or any of the other major cities and you will see people running around. I spend more time socializing in this game maybe than any other I have played.
Ive quit after 5 months playing GW2 becouse it was as so many mmo's these days grind grind and grind, buy gold, cheat, epeen and endless dungeon crawling for gear treatmill at his best, not so friendly people constantly in dungeons im sick of it.
Lionarch on my server i can't remember i had ever a nice chat with anybody it was like if there all where npc's and did not know i was there hehe. Also this dumb standing in front for hours at bank or auctionhouse. Nah GW2 and so many other mmo's in last years learned me its anti social and i need to quit and go solo only rpg's much more fun then mmo's.
My experience was on Desolation euro server, maybe others where more friendly but for me it was enough to quit.
I know some RP servers that are not playing for gear or epeen but just wanne have fun but they are rare.
I play Skyrim and ive more contact with players on mod forums in past year then i had in last 12 years i play mmo's.

Makes me think of Dr Strangelove
Makes me think of a distant future where technology is so advanced that one can terraform planet by clicking on an icon. It' good to see a positive depiction of the future for once.
Wow, spectacular representation of a holographic navigation platform, or alien observatory
Weird. I drew something like this a while ago. Of course nothing like the levels of yours.
Let's make weather!
This is what I would envision if the World of Tiers with their Lords existed. Looks like a Lord surveying his world.
This is... Very interesting.
Well done!
Wicked cool!
This kind of reminds me of "Oblivion", I really like the science fiction side of this, and great work on the clouds!
Again, wonders from your mind. Love it.
Sehr coole idee!
Reminds me a Scene of Halo 4.
Wow, this is awesome!
I like the colors, good job!
I like the colors, good job!
.. umm yup that sure is beautiful
I like the sky~!!!
Very cool, great atmosphere.
This is nice. I like to colors and overall mood
Intense! That's beautiful.
this reminds me of the new "Tron" movie, where the whole existence was programmed, and there was a platform like this.. cool image
by new "Tron" I just mean not the old movie, which I haven't seen.. not that there is a "new" one.. its several years old now
I'd like to be standing where that person is standing. Now if those were tornadoes, that'd be neat too.
Wow, it looks almost like an altar!
Excellent work!
Awesome mate !
Great work dude...
Superb work, as always mate. Really like the composition here, very strong. The way that you've framed the lighter secions of the work with a darker mass of cloud works really well.
reminds me somehow on the Bifrost of the Thor-Saga
hmm dunno it
zumindest wenn man die Hollywoodverfilmung hernimmt, welche ich übrigens ziemlich mies finde. im Gegensatz dazu aber Dein Bild: einfach genial.

Uncharted 3 multiplayer gets biggest update ever this week
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception has been updated to version 1.17 in a patch issued earlier today. Full patch notes are available direct from Naughty Dog, but as fascinating as they are, the developer's comment that the patch sets the game up for "biggest update to Uncharted 3 Multiplayer yet" is particularly interesting. This second update apparently drops tomorrow. I wonder what it could be? Hem hem.

Category: family names for babies
This week, Abby Sandel of Appellation Mountain finds lots of family ties in the names in the news.
The big trend in baby name news this week? It has to be borrowing a name from your family tree.
Once upon a time, it might have been expected that your firstborn son was a junior, or maybe shared his name with grandpa. In other places, family surnames were handed down along with the silver.
These days, there's less pressure than ever to choose heirloom names. And yet we're still inclined to honor our loved ones.
Other parents aren't passing down family names, but they are coordinating their children's names. Sometimes it is a shared first initial; other times, the theme is more subtle.

Now wrong time to raise taxes
Published: Tuesday, July 1, 2003 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 1, 2003 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: If you are rich, what follows will not be of interest.
In Henderson County, payday lenders' and pawn shops' business is surging. Western Taxolina bankruptcies are on the rise. Our county has laid off commercial pilots, engineers and hourly workers. Even as they write new mortgages, banks are experiencing home loan defaults. Local apartment and home rentals are at an all-time low. Our economic problem is growing.
Yet, rigid, truculent Commissioner Hawkins seems uncompassionate. He has raised property taxes so he can avoid spending cuts, so he can show "progress" through increased property taxes to renovate the old courthouse, which he never maintained anyway, build an animal shelter and Taj Mahal for the commissioners' offices. This spending must be delayed until we see improved economic times.
In these hard times Hawkins should assimilate the spirit of elected officials like Tom Apodaca and emulate many other state Republican officials in Raleigh to cut rather than spend. He absolutely refuses to follow in the spirit of the thrift-wise state Republican leaders.
If Hawkins ever matured he'd delay gratification.
If he had compassion, he'd consider the plight of the nonrich of the county -- and those soon to become nonrich.

Just got my '68 Camaro back from my engine builder, I had a 383 stroker built, w/flat top pistons, dyno'd last week at 347 hp. Right now it has an Edelbrock carb on it, my mechanic didn't have much luck getting it set right when running under a load, this carb was new in 2003 but it also ran flat (on acceleration and midrange rpms) on the 350 I had it on, so I'm not real happy with it.
I'm thinking about purchasing a different carb, what would be the smoothest running carb for a 383? I'm not interested in racing, just smooth idle and accelaration. Years ago I had a Rochester Quadrajet on a 327 (275hp) Camaro, it ran great, it just took off on acceleration. Is that the way to go, or is a Holley carb a better investment?
Thanks everyone--
Go with a Barry Grant if you want to go with a holley style carb. Nice to look at sitting on top of the motor and will perform better than a Holley. As for sizing... When calling up the parts house tell them what you have, c.i., rpm range, compression ratio, cam specs, what the main use of the car will be, etc, and they will be better able to come up with the appropriate size and type for your application.
...Ron -- 68' Camaro RS 88' Firebird Formula 00' Mustang GT Vert
Ron, tell me a little more about the Barry Grant. What about buying a new carb vs. finding one on Ebay and rebuilding, like Dave says....years ago I did rebuild a Holley carb, never could get the damn thing working right though....
I'm not a carb guy and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night either. :-) There are others better suited to answer that question on the group.
I put a Demon 750 VS on top of my 350 with a late 2nd gen Z28 intake on top. I set the 4 corner idle screws and that was pretty much it. I don't see it being hard to rebuild one, it's mainly a matter of getting everything clean and replacing gaskets. BG sends a video with new Demons. I'm sure that once I complete my little project on my 68' I'm going to want to get it as clean running as I can. What I'm planning on doing is either manufacturing or buying a led LED combustion anylizer. That will help me with getting the correct jetting.
...Ron -- 68' Camaro RS 88' Firebird Formula 00' Mustang GT Vert
I'll have to look up the Demon series, I'm not a carb person either (although I'd like to learn). Price is a factor for me but really it's to the point that I have so much invested in this car, I want to get it running well no matter what! I now have a special file cabinet for car receipts that my wife CANNOT see, ever.
To me, since I use the car as a daily driver, smooth running is more important than high end efficiency, so that's what I have in mind for a carb choice...my mechanic tuned my car this week so that it idles fine, accelerates well enought to drive it, and he offered to fine tune this Edelbrock once the snow is gone (Wisconsin) and he can drive the car and adjust it under load conditions...if that works I'll stick w/ the Edelbrock, otherwise I'll consider a Demon series carb. Another factor is that the engine has no miles on it, except for the Dyno last week, so I think it'll run differently once it has a few hundred miles on it--
The first thing I'd do is to go and get a how to rebuild Edelbrock Carbs or a test and tune Edelbrock book and learn how they work. It's easier to tune carbs with knowledge rather than guess work.
-- 68' Camaro RS 88' Firebird Formula 00' Mustang GT Vert
Check Edelbrock's website, used to be able to download the carb manuals from there. Tuning kits are pretty cheap, they come with jets, metering rods and power circuit springs. If you decide to try to tune it (these are easy to work on) take a good look at the small screws that hold the power springs in place. They are fairly easy to break and only have to be loosened enough to rotate the cover out of the way.
Two things I don't like about the AFBs is they are prone to flooding under hard cornering (it can be fixed though) and the rear air valves are pretty much non-adjustable. Holleys, Demons and even quadrajets are more tunable but if you're not looking to wring the last tenth out of the car, you should be able to get satisfying results out of the Edelbrock.
I will definitely see if I can get the Edelbrock carb working right before abandoning it--
thanks for the advice!
Afreind of mine has a 71 Camaro with a Dart head, roller cam 383 that runs 11.80s on a cool night. Even with a converter it's a very smooth daily driver. We both run Holley 750 mechanical secondary double pumpers with Proform center sections. I just picked up another Holley on Ebay for $150 bucks. A center section is $99 and I add clear sight plugs, 5/16 hex head bowl screws and a jet extension/float for the rear bowl. Total cost with a good score on Ebay runs around $300. Check the Proform website for the carbs that will work with the 750 center section.
I do watch Ebay, I'm a little spooked about buying something used that has lots of moving parts....

My One Nightstand: A Story of Cancer, Addiction, and Furniture
My nightstand served as a holding tank for the turquoise kidney shaped throw-up trays I'd need over five years of chemo.

When I moved away from home, my nightstand naturally came with me.

My first cavity!!!
So yeah, not related at all but I went to the dentist yesterday and got my first cavity ever!! :-\ I made it almost 26 years cavity-free so I thought I was in the clear. I'm super nervous about getting the filling next week - as I said in a previous post, I'm very, very afraid of needles.
My dentist recommended I cut back on soda, but I only drink water, coffee and occasionally tea.
Guess I just needed to de-stress a little, thanks for listening! :)
You'll be just fine. I'm also deathly afraid of needles, but dental work doesn't bother me. Cavities sometimes just happen, even with regular brushing, flossing, and cleanings. If you need any m-oral (bad pun!) support, let me know - I have over 20 fillings and have had a few rounds of oral surgery. Bad genes, I guess. I see my dentist more often than most members of my family. ;)
Take your Mp3 player, and once he starts work, close your eyes. I had a double root canal once and I have to say not watching makes it a lot more bearable. Listen to some soothing music or nature sound recordings. Best of luck (((DeuceO)))
Let your dentist know about your anxiety. He/she can apply enough topical numbing stuff so that if you just look away, you will hardly know anything about a needle. And once that stuff kicks in, you are good to go. That is the worst part, and it isn't bad at all if you have a gentle dentist. I hate needles more than anything, but dental work is ok for me.
The Mp3 player is a great idea. That calms me down so much for plane rides (so scary!)
everything will be fine! i also got simular news in my last visit (this after years of "eat more candy you're teeth are too nice!! (he was joking)). oh well, it happens to us all. it is also a very very thin needle, if that helps, that they use and the numbing gel works well.
Are you serious about the laughing gas? I should ask for that too! :P
Well, in that case, you have *nothing* to worry about. You will be feeling really good!
I feel for you Deuce! I haven't been as lucky as you and have had quite an array of dental work: Braces (including the headgear), cavities, 1 root canal, crown and crown lengthening procedure...oh yeah, and I've had my molars pulled. Needless to say, I normally have the dentist prescribe me some Valium and take one the night before and one the morning of the appointment if I an having anything more than a filling or cleaning. I'm sure you'll be just fine though. Make sure you let your dentist know that you don't drink soda so he knows that your cavity didn't come from excessive sugar.
I do not recommend laughing gas. I've had it many a time, and after the effects wear off I *always* vomit my guts out. Vomitting=worse for teeth than soda. I guess it's fairly common to vomit too--after anestesia or any thing like that.
Just get the regular numbing drugs. They work just fine. Close your eyes if you like--I've never had a cavity, but I've had plenty of other oral surgeries and I've never seen a needle.
I don't mind the needles or the drills. The laughing gas doesn't relax me. It has the opposite effect of making me restless and very paranoid. I hated it.
atleast u know ur dentist will numb u good. my mom and i had a bad one once. with me the guy didnt even numb me and so i felt everything, with my mom he made a hole somewhere near her nose (or it could have just been somewhere in her mouth) and she a absess, or something like that. all i know is that we are never going there again. the last dentist i went to i loved b/c him and his assistants we nice. if they hurt u they said sry and when my mom had a allergic reaction to something he gave her he said he was really sry and prescribed something else that helped her. sry not trying to make ur phobia worse, and i hope ur not in much pain afterwards.
If you're having conscious sedation, you shouldn't have the negative effects of laughing gas. I've had both and have never gotten ill after sedation - it is IV administered though.
Keep us posted!
You could ask around and see if any dentists in your area do fillings without drills. Using something similar to a waterblaster instead of a drill so there's no pain (only cold) and no need for pain relief or a numbing agent. It sounds space age but it's actually quite common, my little, reasonably priced dentist will use nothing ese.
Done even think about the needle. I hate needles but I've survived dental work, oral surgery, multiple piercings, a tattoo, blood donation, allergy testing, blood samples for everything from b12 to thyroid function testing. In Johnny Cash's biography he mentions a self hypnosis routine he uses to help relax himself. He thinks of a time he was fishing in a stream in Alaska. The water on his bare feet was cold and the sunshine on his back was warm, the air cool and fresh. By putting himself in that place he could relax. I use a similar technique to get through needle anxiety. I've actually gotten better at dealing with needles over time. Now I can even look at the needle when its in my arm and not throw up or pass out like I used to.

Holy mackerel! I love technology. I googled "fillings without drills" and it looks like there are quite a few alternatives developing. I can't wait until those needles and drills are gone!
Yay! Glad to hear it went well!

they're on the move, but it seems some like to push the
boundaries with parking as well, as this Twitter post by
James Meager shows.

Chronic ethanol consumption is a strong risk factor for the development of certain types of cancer including those of the upper aerodigestive tract, the liver, the large intestine and the female breast. Multiple mechanisms are involved in alcohol-mediated carcinogenesis. Among those the action of acetaldehyde (AA), the first metabolite of ethanol oxidation is of particular interest. AA is toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic in animal experiments. AA binds to DNA and forms carcinogenic adducts. Direct evidence of the role of AA in alcohol-associated carcinogenesis derived from genetic linkage studies in alcoholics. Polymorphisms or mutations of genes coding for AA generation or detoxifying enzymes resulting in elevated AA concentrations are associated with increased cancer risk. Approximately 40% of Japanese, Koreans or Chinese carry the AA dehydrogenase 2*2 (ALDH2*2) allele in its heterozygous form. This allele codes for an ALDH2 enzyme with little activity leading to high AA concentrations after the consumption of even small amounts of alcohol. When individuals with this allele consume ethanol chronically, a significant increased risk for upper alimentary tract and colorectal cancer is noted. In Caucasians, alcohol dehydrogenase 1C*1 (ADH1C*1) allele encodes for an ADH isoenzyme which produces 2.5 times more AA than the corresponding allele ADH1C*2. In studies with moderate to high alcohol intake, ADH1C*1 allele frequency and rate of homozygosity was found to be significantly associated with an increased risk for cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract, the liver, the colon and the female breast. These studies underline the important role of acetaldehyde in ethanol-mediated carcinogenesis.

RotaFlash, April 2016
"The antibodies in your breast milk have prevented any serious illness." At those words from the pediatrician, I pulled my head out of my hands, astonished.
There I was doubled up in the corner of the doctor's office with a 104°F fever, a mask covering my face, and the worst stomach virus I had ever had. Yet, my two-month old son, who had been exposed to the same gut-wrenching bug, was lying on the exam table smiling and cooing. It seemed impossible that this tiny baby, whose immune system was not yet fully developed, could stave off what my mature immune system could not. I had taken my son to the doctor because I was worried that his symptoms (some slight diarrhea, vomiting, and loss of appetite), would snowball into the same severe gastrointestinal symptoms I was experiencing. But, as the doctor explained, my breast milk was not only providing all of the nutrients and fluids that my son needed to grow and thrive, it was also protecting him from getting really sick.
The truth is I shouldn't have been so surprised. I make my living as a global health communicator at PATH where talk about disease prevention is routine. We communicate widely about the importance of tools such as vaccines, medicines/treatments, clean water/air, AND breastfeeding as essential components of an integrated strategy for controlling some of the world's leading child killers, including pneumonia and diarrhea. I knew well how antibodies that help me fight disease can pass to my son through my breast milk. But, despite my awareness, I was seeing the power of breastfeeding in action through a "new mom" lens and could hardly believe my eyes.
Here, in the United States, we are used to having ready access to a whole suite of tools for helping our children make it to adulthood. We have the vaccination and treatment resources to protect our children from many life-threatening infectious diseases, including diarrhea and pneumonia. We have clean water and sanitation systems that run to virtually every household, preventing the spread of water-borne illnesses. The stoves in our well-ventilated homes most often use resources other than fossil fuels, keeping the air our children breathe clean and avoiding harmful air contaminants that can be contributing factors to pneumonia and other respiratory complications. While easily accessible for us, these resources are often out of reach for children in the developing world. As a result, too many children die because they cannot access or afford the interventions that could have saved their lives.
Breastfeeding is one of few tools that mothers around the world already have in their arsenal to protect their children from disease, no matter where they live. It provides ideal nourishment that prevents malnutrition, assists in the development of children's immune systems, and enables the transfer of disease-fighting antibodies from mother to child. When direct vaccination is not an option, breastfeeding is a good way for infants to receive at least some immunity to some diseases in the critical early months of life, including several causes of pneumonia and diarrhea. When clean water and sanitation are unavailable, exclusive breastfeeding can also help children avoid exposure to diarrheal and other diseases caused by contaminated water.
Reflecting on how I was able to help my son fight off a strong stomach bug by breastfeeding, I feel a sense of empowerment and solidarity with mothers around the world. This is something we can do naturally with great benefit to our children. Here in the United States, getting my son to the doctor took a phone call, a five minute drive, and a nominal co-pay to my insurance. In other parts of the world, mothers travel long distances at great financial hardship to get their children to the care they need. Sometimes they arrive too late. Some mothers have no access to health care at all. In an ideal world, all children would have access to the highest standard of health care, which includes the full suite of disease prevention and treatment tools. While obstacles to this access are not going away any time soon, I am reassured that breastfeeding is at least one lifesaving tool inherently capable of crossing the geographic and socioeconomic divide.
Just playing devil's advocate - where's the medical evidence that it was breast milk that staved off this virus? Yes, breast milk has many benefits - this we all know - but your pediatrician seems to be making a sweeping generalization here. Also--the thrust of the Got Milk? advertising campaign was to promote the consumption of cow's milk.
Hi! Thank you for your insight. While this baby and mom weren't involved in a clinical study on the benefits of breastfeeding, important evidence does point to breastfeeding as a significant tool for staving off infectious disease and illness among infants. For further reading, we recommend:

Hot Sheet: Steaming Hot Outfest
The second edition of Gaymer X, the only convention dedicated to gaymers (gay gamers) and queer geek culture, kicks off today in San Francisco. Held at the InterContinental Hotel, the three-day event features an exhibition hall packed with vendors, open rooms to play card, tabletop, and video games, cosplay competition, panels discussing LGBT representation and advocacy in gaming, and much more. Several fantastic guests are also scheduled to appear throughout the weekend, including Bioware designer and writer David Gaider, Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian, and WWE superstar Darren Young. Tickets and more info are available at GaymerX.com. — Jase Peeples
Is love just an act? For actresses Zoe (Sharon Hinnendael) and Mal (Jill Evyn), whose romance begins and then falls apart after meeting on set, the answer is unclear. Anatomy of a Love Seen, an exciting and largely improvised new film by first-time director Mariana Rice Bader, portrays the reunion of these two former lovers, who are forced to see each other again after learning the love scene in which they first met must be reshot. In exploring the relationship of these women both on- and off-screen, this drama paints a compelling portrait of love that is at once sexy and sorrowful. Anatomy of a Love Seen premieres at Outfest July 18. Watch the trailer below. — Daniel Reynolds
Kill Hannah front man Mat Devine will be releasing his first solo album, Gold Blooded, under the name "Wrongchilde." "Falling in Love Will Kill You" is the beautifully melodic first single from the project with duet vocals from Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance. According to Out, the song was originally intended as a male-female collaboration, but Devine wanted to challenge the social construct of duet performances and create a more inclusive space in music for LGBT people. Devine explains, "By choosing to release 'Falling in Love Will Kill You' as a guy-on-guy duet, I'm hoping we can ignore the expectations of the music industry and make it accessible to everyone. And to me, that's what makes it a modern love song." — Scott Ragan
This might just be the gayest show we've ever heard of. Out actor Michael Urie stars as a struggling gay thespian who gets a job at the shopping center in Barbra Streisand's basement (and yes, in reality, her estate has an underground reproduction of a quaint small-town main street). He ends up having a series of surreal encounters with the icon, and he tells us all about them in this play by Jonathan Tolins. A hit that's been playing off-Broadway for nearly a year, Buyer & Cellar kicked off its national tour in Chicago in May, and it just opened for a run at Los Angeles's Mark Taper Forum, where it continues through August 17. After that there are planned engagements in San Francisco, Dallas, and Toronto, while the New York production, with Barrett Foa stepping into Urie's shoes, will be playing through July 27. Order tickets for the L.A. run here and get info on other tour stops and the New York performance schedule at BuyerAndCellar.com. — Trudy Ring
The new single and video "Angeles" is a catchy and stripped-down piece about the bittersweet experience of living in L.A., where talented electro-pop duo Wrathschild is currently based. Simon Curtis and Wolfy say the song sprung from a deeply personal place. In an exclusive interview with The Advocate, Curtis said, "L.A. is both the city of dreams and the city of broken dreams. You could say the song is our diary, our experience. It's an anthem dedicated to that feeling of loving and loathing Los Angeles." Wolfy added, "It's a lot of observations we've made through just being here. It's bittersweet, but it's still really hopeful." — Scott Ragan
The intersection between immigration and the LGBT experience is the timely topic of the annual production by Chicago-based About Face Theatre's youth ensemble. The young performers use storytelling, spoken word, and movement to share their tales of coming out and pursuing the American dream. The show opens tonight at Chicago's Washington Park and will play Thursdays and Fridays at parks around the city through August 1. Find the schedule here; admission is free. — Trudy Ring
Critics are raving about Boyhood, the new film by Richard Linklater that was produced over the span of 12 years. Before their eyes, audiences can witness young Mason (Ellar Coltrane) grow from a child to a young man, conveying the journey of adolescence in a way that has not been done in cinema before. His parents, played by Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette, also age throughout the film, which portrays the milestones of young life with both nostalgia and fresh life. Boyhood opens in theaters this weekend. Watch the trailer below. — Daniel Reynolds
The world tour of legendary rock band Queen with Adam Lambert standing in for Freddie Mercury is "dynamite with a laser beam," offering a fresh yet nostalgic serving of the iconic group's classics. Praised by critics and fans alike, the tour is currently burning though the U.S. before it heads to Australia to rock fans Down Under beginning in August. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com. — Jase Peeples
Showtime's period drama Masters of Sex is back for another roll in the hay. The show's subjects, sex researchers Virginia Johnson (Lizzy Caplan) and William Masters (Michael Sheen), smartly dive into (gasp, because its 1958-ish!) female sexuality in a pre-Mad Men America. Add Masters's closeted longtime mentor Barton (Beau Bridges) and Annaleigh Ashford's former prostitute Betty DiMello, and you're looking at a titillating second season. — Michelle Garcia
Aside from the annual LGBT Pride that floods the streets of West Hollywood every June, Outfest is one of the biggest queer events this side of the Hollywood Hills all year. Dozens of films, panels, parties, and events bring LGBT film lovers together for 10 days of celluloid bliss in Los Angeles. And yes, that is The Advocate's staff you'll see at the Wizard of Oz screening Wednesday at the Ford Theatre. Get your Red Vines and popcorn buckets ready for the best in LGBT movies. — Michelle Garcia

--National Science Foundation Awards a 5-Year Grant for Summer STEM!
We are very excited to announce that the National Science Foundation has awarded a 5 year grant to Professor Dan Bisaccio and his colleagues Charles Steinhorn (Vassar College), Victor Donnay (Bryn Mawr), and Maria Rivera (Barnard College) for "Summer STEM Teaching Experiences for Undergraduates (TEU) from Liberal Arts Institutions". The $2.2 million over 5 years TEU program will develop and test a model program that provides undergraduate STEM majors with an immersive summer experience in secondary mathematics or science education. Over five summers, a total of 120 undergraduates (24 per year) will be recruited from a network of 60 liberal arts institutions to take part in a 6-7 week program that integrates a high quality STEM discipline specific pedagogy course with a teaching practicum. Twelve students per summer will participate in a mathematics TEU program at Brown University and 12 will participate in a science TEU program at Trinity College.
Sixty liberal arts colleges and universities have committed to join this project as institutional partners. The majority of these institutions do not currently offer discipline-specific STEM pedagogy courses in their Education programs. The TEU pedagogy course will enhance participants' discipline specific pedagogical knowledge and skills. In the practicum, which is tightly integrated with the course, participants will create and deliver lessons of their own design to local urban secondary students in a summer enrichment program. The teaching practicum will allow participants to apply the theories and strategies they are learning in their pedagogy course directly to classroom teaching. The TEU participants will be closely supervised in their teaching by master teacher mentors.
The high school students for the Brown TEU will be drawn from the Providence area and will be taking part in Brown Summer High School (BSHS). For the Trinity TEU, students will be the entire class of rising sophomores from the Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy (HMTCA). Over the 5 years, roughly 1250 high school students will receive an enriching STEM experience through these programs. This project builds upon a highly successful TEU pilot project focused on math pedagogy held at Brown Summer High School in 2013 and 2014.
Book Release!
Assistant Professor of Education Mona Abo-Zena
Co-edited with Carola Suarez-Orozco and Amy Marks, http://nyupress.org/books/9780814770177/, was released this month. The volume takes a developmental approach that focuses on contexts, processes, and outcomes to understand this growing, diverse group of children and youth.
Dr. Joan Gujarati, Lecturer in Education; Director of Elementary Education
Prior to her appointment at Brown University, Gujarati spent five years in the School of Education at Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY where she began as an Assistant Professor of Childhood Education, teaching courses predominantly in childhood mathematics education, and then assumed the position of Associate Dean for Accreditation and Technology. Before receiving her EdD from Teachers College, Columbia University, she spent 15 years as an early childhood and elementary classroom teacher.
Her current research focuses on elementary teachers' mathematics identity (their beliefs about themselves in relation to mathematics), and the relationship between their mathematics identity and their teaching practices. She is in the process of analyzing several years' worth of mathematics autobiographies which teacher candidates wrote at the start of each semester in her mathematics methods courses. She want to probe what, if any, common themes emerge across these stories and how they can potentially impact the structure of mathematics methods courses in order to prepare teacher candidates for greater mathematics success and set them on more positive mathematics teaching journeys.
Fall Courses:
EDUC 2120 Practicum and Analysis Seminar in Elementary Education
Dr. Rachel Kantrowitz, Postdoctoral Fellow in International Humanities
Rachel Kantrowitz received her PhD in African History from New York University in May 2015. While at Brown University, she will be teaching courses in International and Comparative Education, working on her manuscript, and adding to her digital database of archival sources. Dr. Kantrowitz's manuscript in progress, "Education for All: Development and Decolonization in Francophone West Africa", examines a French development program in West Africa within the context of shifting stakes in Franco-African relations. A regional study of the international move towards mass education, "Education for All" explores debates about secular versus religious schools, changing the curriculum and language of instruction, and the relationship between education and development. Her work will appear in the March 2016 issue of Cahiers d'Etudes Africaines. She is looking forward to meeting Brown faculty and students as well as fully participating in the life of the Education Department.

As an aerospace student, I'm being taught extraterrestrial travel with a much larger goal in mind. Mars is no longer only a dream, but a rapidly approaching reality, and I hope to create the opportunity for humanity to look through their windows and see a much different planet than today. How will life react to transport? Can it be sustained on a foreign planet? I hope to find these answers in my lifetime, and in the words of Armstrong, "our opportunities are unlimited."

This page is initially in support of a breakout session at the CASE Winter Leadership Conference. (We asked attendees of the breakout session to read the first two items below before the breakout session.) Our hope is that this will expand and grow not only via Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation, but also through discussions and input from administrators around the state (and beyond).
Here are some additional resources and recommended activities for administrators to continue their learning about - and sharing of - network literacy.
Read those blogs for two to three months, commenting when you're ready and have something to say. Then consider starting your own blog, either an individual blog or a group of educators in your school/district, to continue the conversations you're having about teaching and learning in the twenty-first century.
Networking: The New LiteracyOur students must be nomadic, flexible, mobile learners who depend on their ability to connect with people and resources. As educators, we need to master this as well, we must know for ourselves how to create, grow, and navigate these collaborative spaces in safe, effective, and ethical ways. We need to create our own Personal Learning Networks not only to learn ourselves, but to model these shifts for our students. Come join this session with Friday's Keynote Speaker Will Richardson as we discuss what steps administrators can take to ensure that they – and their schools – are meeting the needs of our students.
- We would like all CASE Winter Leadership Conference attendees to read Footprints in the Digital Age from the November 2008 issue of Educational Leadership. This will prime you for the closing keynote on Friday by Will Richardson.
Essential Questions
What literacies must educators master before we can help students make the most of these powerful potentials? What's one thing you are going to do in the next six weeks to help you begin to master these literacies? How does "authentic" assessment change when the student's audience is the world?
- For those folks attending Will Richardson's breakout session on Thursday, please also read Mark Pesce's blog post Fluid Learning before the session.
Essential Questions
Capture Everything: What's worth capturing in my classrooms? My building? My district? Audio? Video? Text-based assignments? Student work? Writing?
Share Everything: Where can I share it? With whom? What audiences is our organization working to serve? How will they benefit from these shared items? Who needs to see what's going on?
Open Everything: What are the closed silos of information in our schools that shouldn't be? What things outside of our schools have we closed (blocked)? What can we do to open both of those up?
Only Connect: How can I help my students and teachers connect with content, with each other, and with others outside the classroom (students, teachers, experts, mentors, the community, etc.) in a meaningful way?
What questions do I have for my administrators/curriculum staff? Teaching Staff? IT Staff? Students?
Graphic Organizer for this activity (Word, PDF). Feel free to download and use.
Online, editable pages for each of the questions above: (Capture Everything, Share Everything, Open Everything, Only Connect, What Questions Do I Have). As you have these discussions at CASE, at CoLearning, in your schools, and in your communities, please share out the results on the appropriate wiki page. It might take a few minutes to get the hang of editing a wiki, but you'll figure it out - give it a shot. And, don't worry, there's a history page so if you accidentally delete something, you can get it back.
Here are some additional resources and recommended activities for administrators to continue their learning about - and sharing of - network literacy.
Additional Recommended Readings and QuestionsThe following is a long list of thought-provoking blog posts, articles and videos that can help administrators start or continue conversations in their school districts, schools, and communities. Each one is accompanied by a set of essential questions that can guide you as you read the article and can help further spur discussion.
- Essential Questions
We know that good teachers existed before the current wave of technology, but can a teacher today be the best teacher they can be and truly meet the needs of their students without using technology? What implications does this have for professional development and teacher evaluation? What implications does this have for the technological literacy levels of administrators?
Read Karl Fisch's Is it Okay to be a Technologically Illiterate Teacher? blog post (including comment thread) and National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers(NETS-T).
- Essential Questions
What does it mean to be literate in the 21st century? Are we as educators currently literate? If not, what implications does that have for our students, and what proposals can we put in place to get all educators to a basic level of 21st century literacy in a reasonable amount of time?
Read NCTE's definition of 21c literacy along with The Partnership for 21st Century Skills English Skills Map
- Essential Questions
Do you believe schools foster inquiry and passion in students? If so, are your schools currently structured to do that? Are students regularly asked to research, collaborate, create, present and network in your schools? If not, what can you do to change that?
Read Chris Lehmann's blog post Talking to 49 Superintendents along with his Ignite Philly 5 minute presentation
- Essential Question
Of the 10 things the author thinks we should unlearn, pick the three that most resonate with you. Now, how are you going to foster "unlearning" those things for you, other administrators, and teachers in your school/district?
Read Will Richardson's Steep Unlearning Curve blog post
- Essential Questions
In a rapidly changing, information abundant world, what should students know and be able to do? What should "school" or "learning" look like in a world where almost all factual information is literally a click away? How do we help students create their own Personal Learning Networks? What steps are you going to make to create your own PLN? Which of the suggestions in Shift Happens – Now What? resonates with you, and how can you go about implementing them?
Read Stephanie Sandifer's blog post Shift Happens – Now What? and watch this version of Did You Know?/Shift Happens (Vision Remix, Fall 2007). Also explore the Shift Happens wiki for more information.
- Essential Questions
Do you agree that the culture of most educational institutions today is insulated, that it actively tries to block out the "outside" world? If so, do you believe that educational institutions can survive (and thrive) with that culture? If not, what are some steps you can take to open up the culture in your school/district?
Read Bill Farren's Insulat-Ed blog post and we also highly recommend reading Here Comes Everybody by Clay Shirky
- Essential Questions
Where do you rank yourself in terms of competency on the NETS for Administrators? What do leaders really need to know about this? What are you (your school, your district) doing to help your leaders grow in this area?
Read the National Educational Technology Standards for Administrators (NETS-A) along with Scott McLeod's An Absence of Leadership (pdf) article from ISTE's Learning and Leading with Technology magazine.
- Essential Questions

Read Will Richardson's article World Without Walls - Learning Well with Others from Edutopia
- Essential Questions
Take a look at the seven survival skills that Wagner postulates through the lens of a typical classroom in your school (or, if you're at the district level, a typical elementary, middle, and high school classroom). How's that classroom do on those seven skills? Pick three of the skills and brainstorm ways to work with teachers in your building to strengthen their presence in the typical classroom.
Read Tony Wagner's article Rigor Redefined from the October 2008 issue of Educational Leadership, along with this post on the Google Blog
- Essential Questions
Is it important to bring meaning and significance into the classroom? Do you think the way students portrayed themselves in these videos is fairly accurate for today's student? How can we leverage the "networked" student, and the technological tools we have at our disposal, to empower our students to pursue real, relevant, and rigorous questions?
Read Kansas State Professor Michael Wesch's blog post and watch some of his videos (A Vision of Students Today, The Machine is Using Us, and Information Revolution). Also watch Wendy Drexler's Networked Student
Start Reading BlogsThe only way to truly begin to understand the literacy of networking is to participate. We would recommend subscribing to 3 to 5 blogs to begin with (ask your tech folks for help if you don't know how to subscribe). We would highly recommend that you subscribe to Will Richardson's Weblogg-ed and to LeaderTalk. Then find one to three more blogs that interest you, either by asking people you know, following links in Weblogg-ed and LeaderTalk, or by doing a Google Blog Search.
Read those blogs for two to three months, commenting when you're ready and have something to say. Then consider starting your own blog, either an individual blog or a group of educators in your school/district, to continue the conversations you're having about teaching and learning in the twenty-first century.

I have a executable that when double clicked opens in a command line window.
Now there is a input file (i.e named "sphere_15000.inp") in the same directory where the executable apame_win64.exe is located. So we can inter the file name in the command line.
The question is how this can be done from mathematica front end? With the
RunThrough command I tried to do it with no avail.
RunThrough["Executable Location", "sphere_15000"]
Do I need to put this file location in my Windows 7 environment path variable? Hope for some suggestion in this regard.
Found a solution to my problem.
First set the Mathematica directory to the folder where the executable is located.
path="C:\Users\FlowCrusher\Desktop\CUSP solver\Apame_build_2011_01_09\solver"; SetDirectory[path];
Then use the following style of input.
Run["\"\"apame_win64.exe\" \"input\"\""]
Here "apame_win64.exe" is the executable one want to run and "input" is the input file for the executable. This solves the problem. But a new item in the wishlist.
Is there a way to hide the console window in the background?
Here is how it looks on my screen.
As Chris suggested if we use minimized console in the Run command we get a minimized window but the program does not execute.
I hope that a solution exists.

Over the past few years there have been several threads that address camping style both here and on Whiteblaze. Hammockers generally come in around 10%.
Try "Hammock Camping" in Wikipedia.
Bonnie, my 35 pound English Springer Spaniel, has gone on a couple of trips with me. She sleeps between my legs in the hammock with her head out through the No Sniveller head hole.

For smaller dogs, putting them in the hammock with you works fine as long as they're dry and somewhat clean.
That's one reason for making the Hammock Hut.

There have been a couple of people curious about the new JRB differential cut under quilt. Well, it's now on the web site.
At 6 feet tall, you can pull the No Sniveller up to about your eyes. In a hammock, with appropriate head gear (balaclave or beanie) and a sufficient under quilt or equivalent bottom insulation,...
This picture should give you a good idea (JRB 8x8 Tarp is the green one).
Well, we didn't make the print magazine but we did make the on-line magazine.
It's a little amusing.
What the heck. ...
1. Loosely tie the ridge lines to the trees. Center the tent.
2. Use a single stake to stake both door flaps straight down from the ridge.
3. Adjust the ridge line to maximize the height.
4. ...
Get over it guys. The research and history truly is interesting. But the whining is tiresome. Unless someone is independently wealth, whos going to pay the lawyers to challenge the patents?
At 9 ounces and $50 it would be hard to beat our 8x8 right now.
I know ... shameless plug.
I think you would find the tri-glides in the link above will bend/flex under a load. They're too thin. And once they've been stressed they don't recover their shape and begin to slip. Believe me,...

Maybe this will help.
Actually, we're waiting on the trial run from the factory now. We should have something on the web site this month.
We have always recommended NOT putting the Nest inside the Super Shelter. It fits too tightly to the hammock and will limit the loft of the quilt. Besides, at that temperature the Nest should be...

Our recommendation is to stake down both side tie-outs as close to the hammock as you can. Then tie the two mid-side tie outs on each end together effectively closing the ends.

What an amazing story. It serves to remind us how quickly our lives can change, but more importantly Jill and Sam show us how attitude plays such an important part in our lives. I am truly impressed with how both of them are dealing with their challenges, and how their community is such a support to them. I wish them both well, and look forward to a follow-up story letting us know of more progress Sam has made.

Thank you for telling this story. As the mother of Sam's best friend, and a friend of Jill's, my heart was broken the night of August 14th. When the call came I was scared for all involved. Miracles have come to Sam and her family, and our community has been wonderful. Sam is an amazing person. A fiercely loyal friend, who loves life and all the adventures that come with it. With so many awful things being reported in the news, it was great to get the paper and see Samantha and hear of her strength and amazing attitude.

L'Austral for Families
L'Austral is not especially aimed at families but does carry children and makes them welcome. There's no structured kids entertainment or activities; French families tend to do everything together, including eating dinner, and all the children on my cruise seemed sophisticated and well-behaved. Kids menus are available on request, but there was plenty on the buffet or menu in any case that would appeal to kids -- pasta and omelets, for example, and ice cream every day. The waiters were generally very sweet with the children. A small children's playroom was unsupervised but had a good stock of games and toys, and we often noticed small children playing quietly in there. In the Karikal Lounge, a giant screen with Wii kept the teens amused. In-cabin baby-sitting is sometimes available on request, especially on family theme cruises, but you'll need to make arrangements with the Hotel or Cruise Director on a case-by-case basis.

An Edneyville man was sentenced to between 22 and 27 years in prison Tuesday after pleading guilty in Henderson County Superior Court to several sexual offenses involving two children.
Matthew Charles Woods, 27, pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree rape of a child, four counts of taking indecent liberties with children and five counts of first-degree sexual offense with a child, Assistant District Attorney Corey Ellis said. Ellis said a grand jury indicted Woods on the charges in September after he was accused of assaulting two girls who were 11 and 13 years old when the incidents occurred in the summer of 2002. Woods knew the girls, he said.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jun 08th, 2010
Running Time: 116 Min.
Director: Andre Madness
Company: Adam & Eve Pictures
DVD Extras: Behind the Scenes, Bonus Scenes, Dolby Digital, Interviews, Outtakes, Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s), Widescreen
Cast: Kylee Reese, Marcus London, Kacey Jordan, Anthony Rosano, James Deen, Bella Cole, Dane Cross, Bree Olson, Tessa Taylor, Tony DeSergio, Talon (I), Rocco Reed
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
From Bree's sexy attire, to her sexual positions (sex swing, anyone?!), to the premise of this movie, Bree is one naughty neighbor! 69 Bree Street is five smoldering scenes of non-stop action between Bree Olson and her dirty little friends ... based entirely upon Adam & Eve fan votes!
The scenarios in this collection of five explicit scenes revolving around Bree Olson, her all-blonde female castmates and her "neighbors," are culled from comments by Adam & Eve customers. Presumably, if that cross-section of mail order customers wants this material, it's a sure bet that renters and buyers in brick and mortar retail stores or customers of online retailers will be happy. Or Bree Olson's fans, for that matter.
In the kitchen, Tony DeSergio fills Bree's mouth with his dick, bangs her on the counter and slams her pussy on the floor before covering her asshole with cream cheese. The very cute, very young, tiny-breasted, pony-tailed Kacey Jordan fucks Dane Cross in a scene where his large dick penetrates her plump, small and shaved cunt; his rope of cum is so intense it covers her head to her pussy.
Tessa Taylor satisfies Talon's peep show fantasy with a good, moody sex scene where he loads her mouth with jizz and she blows bubbles. Kylee Reese and Marcus London perform a decent fuck scenario. And the closer, a five-way mini-orgy, has Anthony Rosano banging Bree in a sex swing while Rocco Reed and James Deen double-up on Bella Cole. They switch, with Reed fucking Olson in the swing, and eventually, Bella gets banged as Bree takes the double team. The girls spit three loads of cum into each other's mouths.
Excellent quality, nice direction and solid editing ensure that each scene reaches its maximum erotic potential.
