Using high-speed video cameras that capture more than a thousand frames per second, Andrew Mountcastle's videos reveal an insect ballet hidden to plain sight.
"I refer to high-speed cameras as time microscopes. You see things that you can't see with your naked eye," says the Harvard University biologist, who specializes in the flight dynamics of moths.
While a Ph.D. student at the University of Washington, Mountcastle and labmate Armin Hinterwirth were commissioned to replace the Pacific Science Center's outdated video installation. The pair filmed garden-variety insects in flight, their everyday glory unmasked in slow motion.
"What's commonplace in the life of these insects is new and exciting. That's the really neat thing about high-speed cameras," said Mountcastle. "You can point them in any direction, and before long you're capturing something interesting."
Mountcastle took Wired.com on a tour of his work.
A bumblebee launches itself from a bloom.
Frog Fail
"A lot of the filming we do starts with focusing on an insect on a perch, so we can get our aperture and frame rate just right. I was trying to get the takeoff sequence," said Mountcastle. "I had no idea there was a frog camped underneath the perch. When the event happened, I wasn't even looking at the dragonfly. Something else caught my attention. I heard this splash in the water and turned back. My dragonfly was gone and there were ripples in the water."
Ladybug Fail
"In one sense, it's funny to watch he ladybug not successfully take off. But you wonder, how often does this happen?" said Mountcastle. "Takeoffs and landings happen so many times a day, it's not surprising that sometimes it doesn't work out quite so well."
"What you can see clearly is that they have two sets of wings. The forewing, or elytra, is what you're used to seeing when they crawl around. It's a protective wing. What drives flight is the hind wings, which are intricately folded and protected by the forewings," said Mountcastle. "Most people have assumed that these elytra don't serve much purpose in ladybug flight. But to my knowledge, nobody has actually explored the role of forewings in flight. It's easy to look at them and say, evolution has driven them to be first and foremost protective, but there might be implications for flight that have gone unnoticed."
Wasp Turn
"There's something about capturing an insect in midair during flight that's just so exciting," said Mountcastle. "Even if it does something that's entirely mundane to the insect, viewing their flight with the high-speed camera gives you a glimpse into a world that operates on a much faster time scale than we're adjusted to seeing."
Bumping Bees
"It makes you wonder, how often does this happen? It might be totally normal, it might not be. We don't know," said Mountcastle. "You get the sense that this kind of thing happens more often than not. In a given plant, it probably happens many times in a day, and yet we never see it."
"The katydid has a very quick takeoff. It has different control challenges than other insects. It's tempting to see its takeoff as a haphazard, less-controlled launch. But at the same time, it works for this particular organism. It's been around for millions of years, so it's doing something right," said Mountcastle. "It certainly looks a bit uncontrolled on takeoff, but then you see it start to recover as it leaves the frame. That gives the impression that it's able to regain flight control pretty quickly, which is impressive in its own right."
Frog Fail 2
From another perspective, of course, the frog's fail is the dragonfly's success. "It's a really nice illustration of the importance of having a fast escape response. Dragonflies have great vision that's really important not only for capturing prey, but escaping predators."
Hovering Moth
Unlike the other videos, this comes from Mountcastle's academic work on Manduca moths, in particular the aerodynamic consequences of their wings' ripples and folds.
"They are relatively large moths, not quite as big as hummingbirds, but approaching that size. They've got this long, tongue-like proboscis, which they unroll and stick into flowers to feed on the nectar. They need to be very good at hovering," he said.
"If there's a breeze, if their food source is blowing around, they track it while hovering. And as you can see in that video, their wings bend and twist quite a bit, When I started five years ago, we knew that insect wings deformed, but we knew very little about the aerodynamic consequences of these deformations."
While many biomechanicists work towards potential industrial or engineering applications, Mountcastle's great motivation is curiosity.
"In insects, we see a staggering diversity of shapes and sizes, and a huge diversity of wing shape and size and function," he said. "Why has evolution given us so many forms? Understanding that is what motivates me."

Risky Cinnamon Earthquakes (Guest Post)
We are thrilled to present a lovely and inspiring guest post from one of your and one of our favorite vegan cookbook authors, Terry Hope Romero.
My first morning in cool green summertime Portland and I'm sinking a dainty fork into the glistening swirls of a cinnamon bun from Dovetail bakery, sipping iced coffee spiked with coconut creamer, and browsing Facebook on my clunky phone. A sweet morning ritual to kick off the exciting week ahead of the first ever Vida Vegan blogger gathering.
But…there's been a earthquake. An earthquake rippling through my home city of NYC and some neighboring Eastern states. With me on the earthquake-notorious yet calm West coast and my beloved, rock-steady East Coast quivering it's difficult to understand what's actually happening, but there's a soaring flock of comments swarming through my online social networks making each tremble all the more personal. It's equally alarming and comforting. Yet somehow it makes me excited to live in the world today that despite something as scary as earthquake (for many East Coasters this is the first ever they'll recall experiencing one), I can feel instantly connected to both to real-life friends and folks I've never met in the flesh.
Originally this guest post for the Vida Vegan Conference was going to concern taming blog monsters, those boogies that bother even the most dedicated among us. After this morning's literal long-distance shake-up I'm thinking about how something truly monstrous, like an earthquake, can spring us into action and help us get past those inner demons of self-doubt and hyper-criticism that can freeze us from making blog posts with heart.
Coming to the first ever Vida Vegan Conference, I fought my own self-doubts (too far away, too much work left at home, what will I talk about?), but I'm so glad that the urge to bridge the distance with the Internet vegan tribe won in the end. We've gathered as a community in real life, an extension of what we do all year round as people connected by technology. We're a small slice of a tiny but growing group with a tight focus–vegan blogs. How many of you attending told your friends, family, co-workers, and total strangers "I'm attending a vegan blogger conference!" What looks did you get in return? Perhaps ones of surprise, intrigue, a little confusion; but as vegans we're used to that by now, right? Very likely they'll be asking you even more questions when you get home, because it's uncommon, adventure-loving folks like you who grab that rare chance to meet their peers beyond the blog post.
My presentation Sunday morning has a crazy title "There's a DRAGON in my tempeh taco," and it's about putting more story into your blog posts. But secretly it's about putting more YOU into your blog posts. And that's risky. But risks can reward us in ways far more meaningful that just sitting around and wishing good things would happen. With life being as unpredictable as it is, it's more crucial than ever to take these kind of valuable risks, be it with your writing or traveling or meeting new people.
I'm relieved that everyone back home is safe (some lucky ones didn't even notice), and it's thrilling to see the excitement bubbling even before the convention kicks off. No doubt we'll have stories to take back to our hopefully steady and sound homes. Just make certain to take time after to relax, relish your own local species of luscious vegan pastry and fuel your next post with the power of risks taken, rewards earned. and life lived well.
Terry Hope Romero's latest co-authored (with Isa Chandra Moskowitz) baking adventure Vegan Pie in the Sky comes out October 2011. Visit Terry at veganlatina.com.

... I found out today my former SIL (bro's recently divorced from wife) was invited to the shower...she was the one my nephew was physically intimidating.
I have to say , after reading your story , I got down on my knees and kissed the ground in gratitude for my own family .And while I was there , I asked All Gods Great and Small to grant you some peace and serenity ( SERENITY NOW ! ).Hugs to you and your family , especially your dad .
I think what bugs me about that story is your coworkers giving you the third degree and your boss "riding" you about the false information about your daughter. What business is it of theirs? A whackaloon walks into your office and gives them false information, and somehow, they have the right to interrogate you? All you should have had to say was, "I'm sorry, that relative is unstable and is in the habit of lying about my family. The information he gave you about my DD is completely false. I don't wish to discuss it." AND THEY SHOULD HAVE DROPPED IT.You shouldn't have had to pull up your facebook account or be subjected to multiple rounds of questions. And secondly, even if it were true, and your daughter was posting pictures online, what business is it of theirs? Private problems at home are none of your coworkers business. Shame on them for feeding into the drama-rama.

Amanda Knox is back in the news after an Italian court overturned her not guilty verdict in the murder case of Meredith Kercher and now "The Face of an Angel" has released a teaser trailer.
The forthcoming BBC Films project is a fictional adaptation of Barbie Latza Nadeau's book "Angel Face: Sex, Murder and the Inside Story of Amanda Knox."
She's been through the legal ringer more times than she can count, and Amanda Knox is none too pleased that the Italian Supreme Court has found her guilty of murdering Meredith Kercher back in 2007.
The 28-year-old Seattle, Washington native chatted with Robin Roberts on "Good Morning America" today (January 31) to share her reaction to the Court of Cassation's 28-year jail sentence.
Dealt a harsh blow after she thought her legal woes were behind her, Amanda Knox has been found guilty of murder.
After hours of deliberation at the Florence courthouse in Italy, two judges and six jurors sentenced her to 28 years in prison while her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito earned a 25-year-sentence.
She's best known for her runway-walking skills and posing prowess, but Cara Delevigne is also an aspiring actress.
The lovely English model has reportedly snagged a role on "The Face of an Angel," an upcoming film about Amanda Knox's 2009 murder trial.
Now that she's been exonerated for the murder of Meredith Kercher, Amanda Knox is looking to tell her side of the story.
And it sounds like she'll get to do just that, as TMZ reports that Ms. Knox recently signed a book deal with a top literary agent in Washington DC named Robert Barnett.
She's in the midst of a dramatic transition from life in an Italian prison to walking free in her hometown of Seattle, and Amanda Knox is still decompressing from it all.
According to a report, Knox was sexually harassed by the jail workers and at one point she was even falsely told that she was HIV positive.
It has been quite a week for Amanda Knox, having finally returned to Seattle following the reversal of her murder charges.
And according to Knox's father Curt, Amanda's boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito is expected to pay a visit to their home now that they've been released from prison.
She's spent the past four years in an Italian jail after being convicted of murder, but tonight (October 4) Amanda Knox made her return to the United States.
The 24-year-old flew from Rome to London before boarding a flight to Seattle, Washington - where a press conference took place upon her arrival with swarms of media members converging on the locale.

Speaking only for myself I think Wicd is a load of horsepoop. Maybe it is something to do with that particular model of Alfa (I own it too) but it never works right for me. If I tell it to connect to network X it connects to network Y. It only discovers 1/2 the networks I can get in Windows 7, and it is slow as ice on any connection that is not at 100% line quality.
So the fact that you have problem with Wicd and Alfa is not surprising. And don't even bother going over to the Wicd forums because the developers are in denial that there is any problem whatsoever.
I guess what I am trying to say is I honestly don't think this is a BT4 problem. I think it's a Wicd problem. Or maybe it's a driver problem. Hell, I don't know; I'm not an expert on how all these intertwine. What can I say.
Welcome to the club????

Mar 3, 2013 - The Associated PressAbout half of Yellowstone National Park's more than 4,000 bison have been exposed to brucellosis, which is also found in elk.
BILLINGS, Mont. -- A panel of scientists recommended against ramping up a vaccine program as a way to reduce disease prevalence in Yellowstone National Park bison, park officials said Friday.
The eight-member panel of university scientists and government researchers was convened this week by park administrators and Montana wildlife officials.
After three days of deliberations, they said proposals to more aggressively vaccinate wild bison against brucellosis would be ineffective at suppressing the disease.Brucellosis can cause pregnant animals to miscarry.
Some ranchers in Montana want the park to eradicate the disease from Yellowstone bison to prevent transmissions to cattle. About half the park's more than 4,000 bison have been exposed to brucellosis, which is also found in elk.
Yellowstone's chief scientist, Dave Hallac, said the scientific panel's recommendations will be considered as the park seeks to finish a decade-long bison vaccination study that includes the possibility of shooting the animals with specialized vaccination guns.
A final report from the scientists is expected in about three months, and Hallac said a final decision on a vaccination program is expected within a year.
Panel members also said the existing approach of keeping cattle and bison separate appeared to be effective because there have been no documented transmissions of brucellosis from bison to cattle.
And controlling the park's more than 4,000 bison through hunting and slaughter will likely continue -- even though it has not had any apparent effect on reducing brucellosis levels, they said.
More research was recommended on proposals to use contraception as a way to control brucellosis and prevent its spread.

Women's Progression camps are not a novel idea when it comes to encouraging women to progress and commit more time on-snow. The misconception of these camps is that they are mainly geared towards beginners or never-evers, but as the percentage of women who have taken up shred increases, the nature of the women's progression camps has shifted from teaching women the basics to helping them push their riding ability to the next level.
As many brands continue to push this initiative by offering annual weekend retreats, an interesting yet unsurprising pattern has emerged— Not only have the programs grown and expanded, but women continue to return year in and year out, reaming loyal both to the particular event and to the specific brand.
One of the longest running camps has been the Burton Pillow Fight Retreat and Camp, held at Stevens Pass and run by The Sales Asylum. Started by former principle rep Sasha Dietschi-Cooper and former SG rep Colleen (Coco) Farrell, the camp was created not only to help women progress, but also get in some much needed R&R time. The result has been impressive. Going into its fifth year, this has fast become a coveted event with women traveling from all over the country. Participants from as far as New Mexico came out to join the shred-fest this year, combining a weekend of serious pow, all day riding, and unlimited access to the full 2012 Burton Women's quiver, with yoga sessions, festive drinks, and nighttime fun.
The camp is currently organized and run by Sarah Kuhns, the Sales Asylum's key accounts and regional marketing guru. "The Burton Pillow Fight Women's Camp and Retreat is held at Steven's Pass every year and brings together a perfect combination of snow, friends (new and old), female camaraderie, progression, and most of all, fun," she says. "I will not take credit for the concept but this camp has been going on for five seasons and is the most fulfilling event I have had the pleasure of working on. This camp allows women to escape from the 'boy's club' aspect of snowboarding and really give them a comfortable environment to progress. Steven's Pass Resort and several over partners to ensure that the girls have the best-on snow experience possible, which ultimately keeps the sport strong and retains athletes. The girls and I look forward to this event every year."
This year's camp brought girls from all areas of the country, and the return rate was quite high, with a select group of ladies on their third or fourth year of participation. The level of riding was high, and the women really pushed their coaches to teach and inspire. Beth Steel, Burton's director of sales, flew in from Burlington for the weekend and was duly impressed: "This event was everything snowboarding should be: fun, inviting. and progressive. I plan on encouraging all our reps to incorporate something like this into their territories by inviting participation into snowboarding, for women of all abilities, and most important, having enough women's specific products so that the experience is that much more enhanced."
Check out BurtonGirls.com and Evo.com for recap's of the event.

HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pa. - The University of Pennsylvania men's golf team struggled on the difficult par-70 Philmont Country Club course all weekend, and finished 16th out of 19 teams at the Big 5 Classic. In the process, the Quakers lost the Big 5 trophy to Temple.
Penn shot 323 as a team on Saturday, then followed up with a 317 on Sunday to finish at 640 for the tournament. Hartford won the team title, shooting 291 on Sunday to overcome Sacred Heart -- the Hawks finished the tournament at 609, with the Pioneers one shot back. Binghamton was third, at 612, while Yale was low team among the seven Ivies in the field at 614.
Temple took sixth place overall, but had the low score among the city schools and thus garnered the Big 5 trophy. The Owls shot 310-306--616 to defeat Villanova by a stroke. Temple also gained the individual title, as Brandon Matthews carded 76-69--145 to best the other 97 players who completed the tournament.
For Penn, freshman P.J. Collier was the low scorer -- he shot 78-79--157 and tied for 35th overall. Ben Cooley tied for 62nd, shooting 81-82--163. Senior captain P.J. Fielding carded a 78 on Sunday, but coupled with his 86 on Saturday he finished at 164 to tie for 67th. Sophomore Austin Powell also shot a 78 on Sunday to tie Fielding as the low Quaker, but his first-round 91 left him at 169 for the tournament and tied him for 87th. Junior Max Marsico tied Collier for Penn's low score on Saturday, a 78, but withdrew and did not play on Sunday.
The Quakers are back in action one final time this fall, participating in the Ivy League Match Play this Saturday and Sunday in Princeton, N.J.

The choice to paint Pamela Anderson shows just how intertwined with commercialism her work has become.
Wilde deplored American commercialism and vulgarity, but he admired American simplicity and decency.
Ecclesiasticism and commercialism, antagonism between, 134-136.
There would have to be another colloquy after I had regained my commercialism.
Can we wonder that commercialism is mistaken by nations for progress?
Was there nothing, nobody, that commercialism did not think for sale and to be trafficked in?
It is a genuine old border town, so far unspoiled by commercialism.
Of course, it had its drawbacks, but I think it was better than the commercialism that is replacing it.
Don't you be too rash, Betty—I'm not exactly cut out for commercialism.
It's the only thing that keeps Englishmen sound; commercialism is their curse.

Cheers dude.
Next week we will be starting at the Stakeout to Lockdown ,so basics really but there will still be a few Hollywood moves in there .The advanced guys can whip up to Dog Fight then Drowning Whizzar to Swim Move to take the guys back then to the Truck.
Nice venue and friendly bunch of people. I thought 12+ was a pretty good turnout for a first class and gave a bit of variety when rolling. It probably sounds like a lot was covered but from memory it was 3 techniques with a few variations and everyone seemed to keep up. It just seems 10th Planet has a name for absolutely everything. Hope the club does well.

Fontana police arrested two Riverside men early Thursday after they led officers on a chase in a stolen vehicle.
Jacob Williamson, 19, and Justin Lucero, 18, were booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga on suspicion of auto theft and possession of stolen property, police said.
Williamson is also suspected of evading police.
Police came to an area near the corner of Newell Court and Jeanette Drive at 1:50 a.m. on a report of two men acting suspiciously.
Officers saw the men sitting in a maroon 2013 Honda Accord.
When police pulled up near the vehicle, the driver sped away.
The driver allegedly ran several stop signs while fleeing, and then stopped in a driveway on Granite Court north of Planger Lane.
Williamson jumped out of the car and ran, but was captured. Lucero stayed in the car and was also arrested.
The vehicle had been stolen from La Verne the night before and the owner had not yet reported the theft.

Just wanted to thank the organizers of this discussion group and contribute my own success story. After 3 years of increasingly excruciating left-hip pain (after years of basketball, running and skiing, not to mention a family predilection of osteoarthritis), I finally got the diagnosis. I'm glad I waited as long as I did. I learned about hip resurfacing and actually found a surgeon who was a 25-year veteran of THR but who had jumped on the Birmingham hip bandwagon. He's one of the few in the Portland, Oregon area doing the procedure, and in fact I was no. 15 for him.
I'm 53 years old, and in reasonably good physical shape. In other words, a good candidate. Had my surgery on Sept. 17, 2007. Despite some minor notching, and an ugly bout with a blood clot 4 weeks post-surgery, I'm now walking 3 miles a day (and have been since a week before New Year's Day). Except for the embolic episode (and yeah, I'm on coumadin until March '08), everything went according to plan. Surgery on a Monday, up and around a bit on Tuesday, home on Thursday. Used a walker for 3-4 weeks, then crutches, then one crutch. By Thanksgiving '07, I was doing a lot of stuff unaided. At the 12-week point, I was cleared for 100-percent weight-bearing. Never used a cane, just went straight to walking (and a wee bit of soft jogging) and haven't looked back.
I'm absolutely thrilled with the outcome. Skiing may yet come back into my life.

Your Weekly Update In The World Of Technology
Under Oceans And Into Your Home
We can all guess that a good chunk of the Internet is connected through wires through the US and throughout other countries, but how are we able to connect to other continents over vast expanses such as oceans? With the increase in wireless technology, it's based on some super powerful wireless signal right? Wrong. Believe it or not, the networks in various continents are connected to one another with a large of network of undersea fiber optic cables. Really. Long. Cables.
When it comes to the Internet in today's fast-paced world, speed is everything. Currently there is work in process to build a cable network between London and Tokyo. Connecting the two global centers of commerce together involves a cable that will go through the polar ice cap, all so latency can be reduced 60 milliseconds. While they may not seem like a lot, that reduce in lag is a huge difference when it comes to global trading.
Tata, a telecom giant in India, recently completed the world's first network that went around the entire planet. This is a series of cables that handle up to 25% of the world's Internet traffic. Adding more and more cables is helping to create a faster and more stable worldwide network. This means that if some accident happened (say a boat anchor severing cables, or famed director James Cameron's recent trek to the bottom of the Marianas trench going awry) we would not lose much speed or performance. What does that mean for you? "Liking" a friend's Facebook status from across the globe will happen even faster than before, even after a cable is sliced in half!

Bloggers and other internet users are crying "don't censor me" after a controversial cyberbullying bill was brought into the public light last week in Arizona. The bill, which has passed both houses and is awaiting the governor's signature, is making many people believe that so-called Internet "trolling" will be illegal. Trolling is the act of posting inflammatory or off-topic posts online that is meant to provoke a reaction. The paragraph that has everyone up in arms is as follows:
"It is unlawful for any person, with intent to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend, to use any electronic or digital device and use any obscene, lewd or profane language or suggest any lewd or lascivious act, or threaten to inflict physical harm to the person or property of any person. It is also unlawful to otherwise disturb by repeated anonymous electronic or digital communications the peace, quiet or right of privacy of any person at the place where the communications were received."
Arizona Rep. Ted Vogt fired back at those against the bill by stating it is meant to prevent people from targeting and harassing certain individuals. The bill also does not apply to online comment sections and Facebook walls, areas that are often a hotbed for trolling.

The Next Tavi? Meet the New Teens on the Scene
What are you looking forward to reading and listening to this fall?
Roberta Benteler: I was just given an amazing book called The Beautiful Fall by Alicia Drake, which is a double portrait of Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent and is a captivating account of the fashion world in the '70s.
In terms of music, I'm really looking forward to Ben Howard's new album, Every Kingdom. His debut album is definitely one of my all-time favorites.
What is your favorite fall vacation destination?
Erin Mullaney: I love going to my family home in the Algarve in Southern Portugal in October right after fashion week. It's the perfect temperature then: The sun is still warm during the day, but there is a nice breeze at night and you can still swim in the ocean. It also happens to be my birthday, so I always go there with my friends and family to celebrate and recuperate from the fashion week madness!
What would we find on your nightstand?
RB: A Cire Trudon scented candle, Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream, and Dan Brown's new novel, Inferno.
Avenue 32 is based in London. What is your favorite hidden gem in the city?
EM: I love the Whispering Gallery at St Paul's Cathedral as it's where my boyfriend first told me he loved me! Whenever we have a nice day, we go to the very top as you can't beat the views and it's one of the only London monuments that remained untouched during the bombings in the Second World War. The architecture is truly amazing as well—I always find something new to admire every time we go. It's one of my favorite places in the world!
What is your favorite heirloom or vintage find?
RB: A gray Chanel jacket that I bought for $100 at a Decades pop-up shop in New York City. I have had it for about six years and wear it all the time.
What is your favorite new addition to the store?
RB: Eugène Riconneaus, an incredibly talented young French shoe designer whose collection features beautiful pumps as well as amazing trainers.
EM: Muveil, a super-cool Japanese brand that we are launching exclusively in Europe for fall 2013. They have been around for many years in Japan and have several stores there, but they haven't sold anywhere in Europe or the U.S. until now. Their autumn collection was based on the new Wizard of Oz movie that came out earlier this year and features T-shirts with Toto and Dorothy on them as well as amazing collector's items such as a clear PVC trench coat and an oversized white rabbit fur jacket with pearl buttons and embroidery.
"I really loved the simplicity and sportiness of Derek Lam's show," says Mullaney, fashion director for the e-commerce upstart. She and Benteler, the site's founder, will funk up such subdued looks with street-influenced accessories from their site: ponyskin kicks from skateboarder turned designer Eugène Riconneaus, Eddie Borgo's Cyprus necklace, and Wunderkind's cat-eye sunnies.

The Eisenhower Memorial Commission unveiled significant changes today to the design of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial. The revisions proposed by the memorial's designer, Frank Gehry, FAIA, include new statues representing the physical figure of President Eisenhower. The new site plan leaves other features, including steel tapestries depicting the President's home of Abilene, Kan., unchanged.
During a meeting of the memorial commission today, Gehry Partners architects Meaghan Lloyd and John Bowers, AIA, presented a letter from Gehry, who could not be in attendance at the meeting.
"I have very seriously considered the comments made by my Commissioners, the Eisenhower family, the Department of Education, NCPC [National Capital Planning Commission], CFA [Commission of Fine Arts], and noted historians," Gehry's letter read. "It is a process that I think is vital to the success of any endeavor and one that was necessary to make sense of sometimes contradictory characterizations of President Eisenhower. How do you represent a man of such towering achievement whose modesty was one of his core values?"
In Gehry's revised design, heroic-scale sculptures take the place of bas reliefs representing President Eisenhower's career as president of the U.S. and Supreme Commander of Allied Forces during World War II. One sculpture depicts President Eisenhower as he appears in the familiar 1966 Yousuf Karsh photo titled "The Elder Statesman": one hand on his hip, the other leaning on a vast globe. Another set of sculptures depicts his military leadership, representing the Supreme Allied Commander as he speaks to soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division before they parachute into Normandy. (The soldiers also appear as sculptures.)
In this design, the sculptures will appear at one-and-a-half human scale, or approximately 9 feet tall. Cantilevered stone blocks bearing inscriptions from President Eisenhower's life will frame the sculpture.
Perhaps the single greatest design change is the statue of President Eisenhower as a youth—a feature of the design that has drawn recent criticism
"I feel like I've known the Eisenhower family for 25 years in the last 3 months," said Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., who spoke before the assembled commission about the centrality of Abilene in both President Eisenhower's life and in Gehry's design. "I really appreciate that Mr. Gehry has endeavored to capture this in his design. Ike loved Abilene, Kansas. He came from Abilene, Kansas. His roots were Abilene, Kansas," Sen. Roberts said. "Without the elements specific to that, the tapestries, it could be anywhere in the United States."
Sen. Roberts described the plan as "evolving," but added, "I think it's very close. It has my support."
Others on the commission echoed his enthusiasm. "Over time, the Memorial has gotten better," said Rep. William "Mac" Thornberry, R-Texas. "I'm very supportive of the changes and very grateful for the Gehry team's willingness to listen to input." Another commissioner, legislative affairs specialist Susan Banes Harris, praised the testing of the materials for the tapestries and said, "I feel that we're ready to move forward."
"In his [Eisenhower's] case, he was both a great general and a great president, and I think we are very, very close to a final decision here," said commissioner and corporate communications executive Alfred Geduldig. "And it looks like a realization of the dreams of the commission for 12 years."
"America has one weakness. We seem to forget soon," said Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, D-Hawaii, the ranking congressional member of the commission. Sen. Inouye said that, on the 50th anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor, a poll of high school students revealed that less than half could name the correct date : Dec. 7, 1941. "I believe it is in our best interest and in our national interest that this memorial is completed to remind Americans and our next generation of Americans what we had to go through. Otherwise it's going to be forgotten."
At least one dissenting voice was present at the hearing: the National Civic Art Society, which has condemned the design in various forums, including in testimony provided to Congress. Representatives of the organization, a consortium of classical architects and members of conservative think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation, have objected to such elements of the design as the metal tapestries and a statue depicting President Eisenhower as a child.
"I have yet to find a single person who likes it," said architect and NCAS vice-chairman Milton Grenfell, who described the tapestries as "iron curtains" and called the design "the eyesore memorial."
Before the conclusion of the meeting, commission chairman and World War II veteran Rocco C. Siciliano—who has defended the design against its critics—called Lloyd forward to praise her and the rest of the Gehry team for their work and asked her for final comments from the design team. "I think we're very honored and very pleased with where we've gotten with the design," Lloyd said. "For us, it's been very gratifying—all the disparate voices have led us to understand this complicated character."
For his own part, Gehry had special praise for President Eisenhower.
"The memory of Eisenhower deserves the best that we all can deliver to help future generations understand the impact of this great leader on everything we are as a nation," his letter read. "I would be proud to wear an 'I Like Ike' button every day for the rest of my life."

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by respectdatstar, Dec 25, 2012.
Thanks for clearing that up.
That's too high for a guy without a position, imo.
Depends on how sold you are that the guy can really make the transition.
If that guy can turn into a high quality WR, even if it's a slot guy, and give you some KR and PR abilities as well?
That's a pretty nice pick up if you ask me. I definately would give some strong consideration to him if he's there at the right time.
The most important thing for this team in the off-season is the trenches. Securing upgrades on the O-line and D-line will give this team some serious steps in the direction everyone wants to see them go.
I dunno. Those are some big ifs for a project. If he wows at the combines then I think someone takes a chance on him in the 2nd, but I personally wouldn't consider him until the 3rd and would consider him to be good value in the 4th.
His workouts will be really important. It's anybody's guess where he falls right now.
...I've seen this kid all 4 yrs. he's played as I live in Big Ten country and he IS as someone said dumb as a stump.(rival teams fans sometimes referred to him as 'Detard' which is outta line IMO but they said it not me) They usually don't make him available for interviews because he isn't too articulate.(had his speech at big ten media day before the season written for him and subsequently read it straight off cue cards...kinda sad)
Sure, he's fast but he doesn't have a whole lot of wiggle and he isn't durable AT ALL. He is a 4th rounder IMO and no better. He's way overrated.
Just look at Devin Hester, same thing. Didn't have a position in college, got drafted as a CB, was moved to WR still can not do anything but return, and is as smart as a box of rocks.
Hester's not a fair comparison though. Yes, he didn't really have a position at Miami, but he was an elite returner there. Chicago drafted him as a difference maker as a special teamer. I honestly don't think they expected much from him as a skill player. He walked into training camp without a position but because of his prowess as a returner, he had a definite role. Not sure if the same can be said about Robinson. Yes, he's been productive at college, but his projection to the next level is based on potential based on roles he's never been asked to participate before.
think we've already spent too much time and draft picks on project players like Robinson.....
...that's a fact man. We have serious issues and drafting this kid won't solve any of them. That said, he is a NICE 4th round value pick for a team that can AFFORD to bring him along slowly and spoon feed him: Pats, Pack, Texans, etc....
We already know he's going to blow those workouts up though. Sub 4.4 40. That's going to get you drafted a round higher than you should most of the time. Speed kills, to use a cliche used way too often. I think Robinson will off of the board by the start of the 4th.
With each passing draft, the thing i've come to learn is that it's really difficult to predict how one will perform at the combine. You expect someone to run 4.4 and they turn in 4.6. On the other hand, you expect someone else to run a 4.6 and they run a 4.4.....
With that said, hell would freeze over if robinson runs a sub 4.4
Huh? I overstated it by saying he will definitely run a sub 4.4, that was a bit of hyperbole. But why would hell freeze over if he ran a sub 4.4 if he's done it before? High school state track champion and got timed at 4.32 with a 300+ max bench during his HS senior year. Kid is an athletic freak. No idea how you think its out of the question that he can run a sub 4.4.
I'll believe it when I see it. There are always reports of super fast 40 times and players being so and so height and weight. Then they get to the combines and they end up being 2 tenths of a second slower (which is a lot) an inch shorter and etc...
No doubt he's a very good athlete, but I'm not convinced he's an elite athlete.
Just an update.
Former Michigan QB Denard Robinson accepted his invitation to the Senior Bowl as a wide receiver.
Per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Robinson should also get a chance to play some running back. Robinson is smartly giving up the ghost that would have been an attempt to play quarterback in the NFL in favor of a position switch that could translate to a lengthy, productive pro career. Listed at 6'0/197, Robinson is thick in the lower body with short-area burst and runs with patience behind blockers. We think his best projection is as a returner/running back prospect. Robinson would have to learn to pass protect, though.
He should run well, but I'm talking about route running, hands, even interviews.
If he aces all of that I think he's got a shot to be a late 2nd/early 3rd round pick. He's a dynamic talent that these offensive gurus in the NFL would love to get their hands on.
BTW, when I say offensive gurus, I'm talking first and foremost about Jason Garrett.
Robinson will be the modern day Woody Danztler. Great athlete who can never find a position.
Woody is famous to us for his amazing kick return against SF where he broke about 8 tackles, tip toed down the sideline and scored. He was a star QB at Clemson, and played QB,RB,WR,KR,PR,CB,FS in the pros but never kept a position for very long.
Brad Smith, Josh Cribbs, Julian Edelman, Antwaan Randle El
A bunch of success stories when it comes to this kind of thing here. And I don't think you can discount the fact that Robinson more or less dominated at a major D1 college program when it came to running the ball. Over 4,000 yards of rushing in 3 years with 37 TD's (just rushing) is pretty damn impressive. I'd take a shot in the 4th without a doubt. Could easily be a guy who can get 5 carries a game, 5 catches a game, and return kicks. Could be a useful game for sure.
What everyone has failed to mention is how good of a person this kid is. All his talent aside, he's a stand up guy with a great head on his shoulders. Watch his interviews and read about him. Everyone loves him, and he's been a positive influence in the community at Michigan the past 4 years. He's definitely a JG kind of guy.

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer
EVERETT — A deadly crash on Broadway in 2010 has sparked a lawsuit that in part blames the roadway for the head-on collision and names the city of Everett and state Department of Transportation as defendants.
Also being sued is Camille Spink, the woman who was drunk when she drove the wrong way on Broadway and smashed into a southbound car near 41st Street. The Bothell woman is two years into her seven-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to vehicular homicide and assault.
The crash killed Sheena Blair, 24, and Martin "Tony" Ramirez, 19, both of Tacoma. Luis Reyna and Marco Ortiz, then both 18, suffered serious injuries, including multiple broken bones.
The lawsuit was filed in Snohomish County Superior Court on behalf of Reyna and Ramirez's young son.
Both plaintiffs filed claims last year with the city and state. The lawsuit alleges that the city and the state are responsible for different sections of the road.
Reyna sustained life-changing injuries from the crash, including brain damage. He should be compensated, his attorney Kyle Olive said.
"Also we want to do whatever we can to prevent this from happening to any other person," the Seattle attorney said.
Reyna and Ramirez were passengers in Blair's car. The trio had picked up Ortiz in Everett and were driving on Broadway toward the I-5 southbound onramp.
Spink was northbound on Broadway. She and a friend were headed to a bar in the downtown area. She told police she'd had three glasses of wine at her friend's house before she got behind the wheel of her sport utility vehicle. She also admitted to smoking marijuana earlier in the day.
Spink missed the turn onto the short bridge over the freeway at the north end of the Evergreen Cemetery. There is a large sign and flashing lights to warn drivers that the road becomes one-way.
The lawsuit alleges that as Spink reached the end of the one-way section on Broadway she tried to move back to the right side of the road but was blocked by a newly installed curb between the lanes. Her SUV slammed into Blair's southbound car.
Ramirez died in the backseat. Blair was rushed to a hospital but died about an hour later.
Reyna suffered life-threatening injuries, the lawsuit alleges. He was flown by helicopter to a Seattle hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery.
Neither Spink nor her passenger were injured.
A blood test hours after the Feb. 26, 2010 crash showed that Spink's blood-alcohol level was more than double the legal limit. She smelled of alcohol and was stumbling and swaying at the scene, court papers said.
Spink is accused of being negligent and failing to exercise ordinary care. Her husband also is named as a defendant.
The lawsuit also alleges that both the city and the state are responsible for unsafe road conditions. Design, maintenance and repair of Broadway fall to the city while the bridge over the freeway is the responsibility of the state Department of Transportation, court papers say.
The lawsuit alleges that Broadway is dangerous. The city and state are accused of failing to protect the public from distracted or impaired drivers who encounter the "misleading" section of roadway. The dangerous conditions were exacerbated by the installation of a barrier to divide northbound and southbound traffic just north of the one-way section, the civil attorneys wrote.
No one from the city or state returned requests for comment for this story.
Olive said the city and state have ignored the dangerous conditions, leading to other accidents, including a fatal crash last year.
"It's difficult for drivers to determine what they're supposed to do at that point of the road," Olive said.
A Freeland man was killed June 23 when his truck crashed into the barrier on the west side of the bridge over I-5. Police believe Mitchell Casey, 28, missed the sharp turn and hit the guardrail. He died at the hospital.
More than six months later, mourners still leave flowers at the crash site.
Less than a mile away on the shoulder, a sign bearing the picture of a smiling Blair can be seen by drivers leaving north Everett. Her parents joined other grieving families last year when former Gov. Chris Gregoire signed into law tougher penalties for drunken drivers who are convicted of vehicular homicide.
The new law raises the sentencing range in Washington for DUI-related vehicular homicide to the same level as first-degree manslaughter, 6½ to 8½ years.

From overseas to "A steady rain"....,
|reviewer: Cathye B. from Paris, FRANCE
|Hello, we are 2 French "Jackmaniacs" and we will attend the Schoenfeld Theater on October, 23rd and 24th. We are longing for that event.....Our only concern is about the language, of course we can understand English in everyday life situations, but what about the kind of vocabulary that is going to be used in this play ???? We would be so happy if somebody could provide us with the text of the play, so that we could at least read it first and have a chance to understand it all.....Thanks by firstname.lastname@example.com

It's RAINING men!,
|reviewer: Maria Wells from Manchester, NH
|There is only one thing better than seeing Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig, for the first time, in "A Steady Rain"----seeing them a second. This duo only improves their stage presence as they meld their performance delivery. Both actors give 150% each showing, before and after the play starts. They are uniquely generous with their time and it's well appreciated. Never should a live performer have to deal with rude theater goers (bad enough that the audience has to), but Mr. Jackman and Mr. Craig have had to do just that. Cell phone interruptions and loud, unnecessary chatter annoyed me, but the gentlemen actors were far more gracious. They acknowledged the offense with warm humor and continued their lines flawlessly. Hope you're able to make this limited run---the story is very moving even when hearing it over & over. Hats off to Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig!

They actually made me forget who they were,
|reviewer: Karen Parker Lemeiux from Neenah, WI
|These men are completely believable in their performances. I was quickly drawn in by their characters and was actually able to forget the "stars" that they are. As a Wisconsinite, I'm familiar with Chicago accents and they nail it! I urge you to see this show, it's the best money I spent in NYC. A powerful play performed & produced with excellence!

Actors more than Stars.,
|reviewer: Frank Leonardo from N.J. USA
|I have to admit that I was drawn to "A Steady Rain" due to the fact that I like the films of Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig. When the play began, I watched the opening somewhat star struck. As the play progressed though, they ceased to be Hugh and Daniel to me and began to be Joey and Denny. They pulled me in as they say and I was riveted. These men are actors more than stars, and actors of the highest caliber. The writing is also excellent, first introducing the characters, then developing the story with a great mix of humor and drama.Leaving the theater I felt the story in my chest. It's something I'll never forget.

A Greek Tragedy,
|reviewer: Anonymous from Boston, MA USA
|Wonderful performance by the actors in this play of human tragedy. The language is nothing new. Lots of the s and f words plus the pejoratives you would expect cops to use. I thought it was stunning.

Generic Name: imipramine (im-IP-ra-meen)
Brand Name: Tofranil
Antidepressants may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or actions in children, teenagers, and young adults. However, depression and certain other mental problems may also increase the risk of suicide. Talk with the patient's doctor to be sure that the benefits of using imipramine outweigh the risks.
Family and caregivers must closely watch patients who take imipramine. It is important to keep in close contact with the patient's doctor. Tell the doctor right away if the patient has symptoms like worsened depression, suicidal thoughts, or changes in behavior. Discuss any questions with the patient's doctor.
Imipramine is not approved for use in all children. If imipramine is prescribed for your child, talk with the doctor to be sure that imipramine is right for your child.
Imipramine is used for:
Treating depression. It is also used in some children to help reduce bedwetting. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Imipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant. It works by increasing the activity of certain chemicals in the brain that help elevate mood.
Do NOT use imipramine if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in imipramine
- you have taken linezolid or a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) within the last 14 days
- you are recovering from a recent heart attack
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using imipramine:
Some medical conditions may interact with imipramine. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you drink alcohol or have a history of alcohol abuse
- if you take thyroid medicine or you have a history of an overactive thyroid, glaucoma or increased pressure in the eye, heart problems, kidney or liver problems, diabetes, seizures, the blood disease porphyria, or difficulty urinating
- if you have a history of suicidal thoughts or behavior, bipolar disorder, or any other mental disorders; you are undergoing electroshock therapy; or you are scheduled to have any surgery
- if you are taking a medicine that contains methylene blue
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with imipramine. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Buspirone, cimetidine, fentanyl, flecainide, lithium, methylphenidate, phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine), propafenone, quinidine, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (eg, fluoxetine), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) (eg, duloxetine), St. John's wort, tramadol, or tryptophan because they may increase the risk of imipramine's side effects
- Linezolid or MAOIs (eg, phenelzine) because the risk of high blood pressure or serious heart problems (eg, irregular heartbeat) may be increased
- Barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital) or phenytoin because they may decrease imipramine's effectiveness
- Anticholinergics (eg, benztropine) or sympathomimetics (eg, phenylephrine) because the risk of their side effects may be increased by imipramine
- Clonidine, guanethidine, or guanfacine because their effectiveness may be decreased by imipramine
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if imipramine may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use imipramine:
Use imipramine as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Imipramine comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get imipramine refilled.
- Take imipramine by mouth with or without food.
- Taking imipramine at bedtime may help reduce side effects (eg, daytime drowsiness). Discuss this possibility with your doctor.
- It may take 1 to 3 weeks before you notice the effect of imipramine. Continue to use imipramine even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.
- If you miss a dose of imipramine, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once. If you take 1 dose daily at bedtime, do not take the missed dose the next morning.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use imipramine.
Important safety information:

Contact the doctor right away if any signs of suicidal thoughts or actions occur.
- Serotonin syndrome is a possibly fatal syndrome that can be caused by imipramine. Your risk may be greater if you take imipramine with certain other medicines (eg, triptans, MAOIs). Symptoms may include agitation; confusion; hallucinations; coma; fever; fast or irregular heartbeat; tremor; excessive sweating; and nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Contact your doctor at once if you have any of these symptoms.
- Imipramine may cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to imipramine. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time.

Tommy Lee handles drums on new Smashing Pumpkins album
Listen to Smashing Pumpkins on iHeartRadio
It appears the Smashing Pumpkins have a new drummer for their upcoming album Monuments to an Elegy.
Billy Corgan posted a picture of himself in the studio with Tommy Lee this week, explaining that the Motley Crue rocker handled the drums for all nine songs on the record.
Corgan recently revealed that he's almost done recording Monuments to an Elegy, but the album isn't due out until 2015. A second Pumpkins album, Day for Night, is expected to follow that same year.

West Jordan Woman, 19, Dies in Climbing Fall Near Zion National Park
A West Jordan woman has fallen to her death this week, while rappeling in a popular area, just outside Zion National Park.
Authorities say Shelby Christensen, 19, was climbing -- in the Birch Hollow area, with four friends -- when her hand got caught between the rope and the cliff face.
She fell about 120 feet and was pronounced dead at the scene.

IMO..I don't think there will be a JB released for couple of months. It is great to see that there were no complications with the A6 chip, but the devs will hold back on the release. Apple will be patching up the map issue so I'm sure a new update is right around the corner for iOS 6 and I believe that's when the JB will be released.
Gotta love this community
I'm loving this new phone. I'm having no wifi problems at all. Also I did a speed test of LTE in my area - download of 24 and upload of 7 (whereas upload speed on wifi was only 5). The sound is amazing on phone calls, speaker phone, etc.
Still miss jailbreak though.
ih8sn0w's LTE speed:
Once AT&T gets LTE. Anything will be better than 4g. I have no problems getting the phone. I just don't wanna lose my jailbreak. Not so much for themes but for tweaks
I'm trying to cut down my tweaks as much as I can so that I can live with it enough to upgrade to ios6 and hopefully soon a jailbreak will be available. Hoping 4s will be next soon to be jailbroken
But the 3GS, 4S and 5 will get the untethered JB at the same time. As was the case for the 4S too- which i will add took a little over 15 weeks.
So about Christmas-time. And each new iOS gets a little harder to JB. So maybe January. :-(. That's why I'm sticking with 4S for now. Long about Jan there'll be an untethered JB AND LTE should be in my city with AT&T. Til then I need my jailbreak.

NIAMS Postdoctoral Fellow Honored with International Dental Research Award
Brian Foster, Ph.D., a researcher in the Intramural Research Program of the National Institutes of Healths (NIH) National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), has won the 2013 Distinguished Scientist Young Investigator Award from the International Association for Dental Research (IADR). The award is given annually to early-career dental researchers who are making significant contributions to the field of dental research.
Dr. Brian Foster
Dr. Foster is a postdoctoral research fellow in the NIAMS Laboratory of Oral Connective Tissue Biology. His work focuses on the molecular biology of dental-oral-craniofacial development, and how cells and signals influence the growth of tooth, bone, and gums. His goal is to find better methods of promoting regeneration and function of periodontal tissue that has been lost as a result of disease, trauma, or inherited conditions.
"This award is given only to the brightest in the field. Dr. Foster is a talented and insightful researcher who richly deserves it," said Martha Somerman, D.D.S., Ph.D., who leads the dental research laboratory in which Dr. Foster works. Dr. Somerman also is the director of the NIHs National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.
Dr. Foster earned a B.S. in Biology and an M.S. in Microbiology from Central Michigan University. In 2011, he earned a Ph.D. from the University of Washington. At the NIAMS, he continues his work as a postdoctoral research fellow, focusing on basic and translational aspects of tooth development and regrowth.
The award presentation took place on March 20, 2013, at the Opening Ceremonies of the IADR Annual Meeting and Exhibition in Seattle, WA. The meeting, which brings together members from the IADR, the American Association for Dental Research and the Canadian Association for Dental Research, attracts more than 6,000 dental researchers from around the world.

As Utah's resident defensive stopper, We all thought Cedric Martin would be assigned the task of stopping Washington's guard C.J. Wilcox, the Pleasant Grove native who's been tearing up the Pac-12 this season.
We thought wrong.
The assignment didn't go to Martin, the man who had been so successful against people like Shabazz Muhammad and Tyler Haws.
No, the assignment went to 5-foot-10 junior Glen Dean. And he promptly played his best game of the season.
Dean held the 6-5 Wilcox scoreless in the first half. He did score 14 by the end of the game, but it was mostly after the game was decided.
By the way, Martin harrassed Scott Suggs, the other high-scoring wing, into a 4-16 shooting performance.
The reasoning was simple. Dean, defensively, is Utah's best trail guy on screens, the guy who can get through and challenge Wilcox. Martin is a better defender against guys who post up and try to take you off the dribble. Together, the two took away a huge chunk of Washington's offense.
