Eve Ensler Reads Emma Goldman
On October 24, 2015, The Nation feted its 150th anniversary with an unprecedented celebration at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn in a renovated Civil War–era Tobacco Warehouse. Featuring acclaimed writers and activists channeling iconic Nation voices from the past, plus music and comedy, the evening was hosted by Nation writers and MSNBC hosts Chris Hayes and Melissa Harris-Perry and featured readings and reflections by Tony Kushner, Katrina vanden Heuvel, Bill McKibben, Eve Ensler, Calvin Trillin, Victor Navasky, Laura Flanders, Kai Wright, Zephyr Teachout, Mychal Denzel Smith, along with a moving live performance from the Brooklyn Youth Chorus.
In this inimitable reading, Eve Ensler, the pathbreaking feminist playwright, reads from an essay on political exiles by the great anarchist Emma Goldman, whom Ensler calls "my revolutionary mother and inspiration," someone who understood that "there is no revolution with sex and dancing." Published in The Nation in 1932, Goldman's essay spoke of "the cruel plight of the political refugees" after World War I, who continued to believe that someday "the workers will wake up from their leaden sleep, that they will once more take up the battle for liberty and well-being."
Celebration of Wislawa Szymborska

Renowned American poet Charles Simic will be joined by Szymborska's award-winning translator Clare Cavanagh; Szymborska's personal assistant, the writer and critic Michal Rusinek; and the poet and translator Krystyna Dabrowska, who won the first Wislawa Szymborska poetry prize in 2013.
Wislawa Szymborska (1923-2012) is among Poland's most-read and best-loved poets. Her work spanned 60 years including the Second World War, the Communist period and the return of democracy after 1989. She began writing during the Second World War, and published her first poem in 1945. Her mature poetry emphasized human dignity and the wonder of the everyday, with a characteristic wit and humor.
The winner of many awards, Szymborska became Poland's fourth Nobel Prize for Literature laureate in 1996. The Nobel committee praised her "for poetry that with ironic precision allows the historical and biological context to come to light in fragments of human reality."

Gallery: Instagram's new policy causes Twitter storm
Just about the time Tuesday #boycottinstagram began to trend on Twitter, the co-founder of the popular photo sharing application insisted his company has no intention of selling users' photos.
Kevin Systrom blamed unclear legal language for the problem and promised to fix a proposed changed in Instagram's privacy policy.
"Since making these changes, we've heard loud and clear that many users are confused and upset about what the changes mean," Systrom wrote in a statement issued late Tuesday afternoon. "We're listening and ... commit to you that we will be doing more to answer your questions, fix any mistakes, and eliminate the confusion."
Purchased earlier this year by Facebook for $740 million, Instagram's plan to monetize its service, generated all sorts of grief for the company, much of the criticism was leveled on other social platforms including Google +, Facebook, and Twitter, where hashtags like #instabad, #instastupid, #instagreedy, #instadrama and #instakarma adorned posts about the announcement.
Of course all the concern leads to the #instaquestion, who owns your shared photos?
Dan Cotman, a copyright attorney at Cotman IP Law Firm in Pasadena, said although users technically agree to allow Instagram to use their photos, the new terms pose a serious question about copyright law.
"My understanding is that they are obtaining the right to use your image and profit from your image without telling you or compensating you and that goes in the face of every copyright law that has been on the books for 100 years," Cotman said.
Instagram's new rules, he added, go along with a growing trend in the digital world toward less privacy and ownership over content posted online.
"If we are going to re-do copyright laws so that the content you post online is no longer owned by the author, that is a major shift," Cotman said. "Where is the boundary becomes the problem. ... You end up with this slippery slope and I think once you go down it's hard to climb back up."
Karen North, expert in social media and Internet privacy at the University of Southern California, said Instagram's new terms shouldn't have been too surprising, as the service is a business that needs to make money.
"The bottom line really is this, Instagram was purchased by Facebook and we're going to see more and more of these changes because Facebook has the struggle right now of how to figure out how to be profitable at an incredibly high level," North said.
Even though users are upset, the bottom line is that Instagram's privacy policies are geared toward making money.
Katie Abbott, social media manager for Santa Anita Park, said while she doesn't like the idea of her photos being used for an ad, any exposure for horse racing or the track is ultimately positive.
"From a horse racing standpoint if they are going to put any photo we take out there, then that's a win for us as long as they give us credit," Abbott said. "Of course there is a monetary loss if they are using it as advertisement and we aren't seeing any of that, but I think for us I wouldn't change anything as of now, because of what we are still gaining from it far outweighs any loss."
On the other hand, Marc Campos, photographer for Occidental College, said he was concerned that he would no longer have control over professional photos he posts to Instagram. And, he said, many of his photographs are of Occidental students who wouldn't know if their picture was used in an ad.
"I photograph just kind of fun things on campus for (my professional) account and if a student is in it and then that appears in an ad, that is really against what we are doing," Campos said. "We don't want a student to be exploited basically for an ad."
In the end, regardless of privacy policies, North said users should know that anything they post online is free game.
"People like to believe that their privacy settings maintain their privacy," North said, "but the reality is that anything you do on social media you should perceive and expect to be public."
Systrom's statement indicated the company hoped to seek some balance between users' concerns and corporate necessities.
"I always want you to feel comfortable sharing your photos on Instagram," Systrom said, "and we will always work hard to foster and respect our community and go out of our way to support its rights."
Finally, Systrom emphasized that users will still have control over who sees their photos, and will maintain ownership over anything they post.
"We respect that there are creative artists and hobbyists alike that pour their heart into creating beautiful photos, and we respect that your photos are your photos. Period," he said.

Post subject: Gameday thread: Denver at Arizona(Filling out the roster)
I'm going to focus this on the battle for roster spots and depth chart placings.
This basically comes down a straight battle between Caleb Hanie and Brock Osweiler. Peyton Manning will be the starter and Adam Weber will be waived and resigned to the practice squad. Should Osweiler come out on top tonight, Hanie will be cut and we go 2 deep at QB, but personally I reckon Hanie edges him out and Brock will be the developmental 3rd guy.
Projected depth chart: Manning, Hanie, Osweiler
Depending on whether we keep 3 or 4 Running Backs this is either a closed shop on a 2 men going for 1 spot type battle. With McGahee and Hillman both injury risks I'd imagine we will carry 4 RB's, so it's between Knowshon Moreno and Jeremiah Johnson with Moreno just edging on to the team, but he's a prime candidate to be the first man out if we make a roster move after the cuts deadline.
Projected depth chart: McGahee, Ball, Hillman, Moreno
Nothing to see here, Chris Gronkowski has wrapped the gig up.
Projected depth chart: Gronkowski
We know who the starters are, we also know who the primary backups are. Hill, Orton, Robinson and Willis are going for the last spot. I expect Gerrell Robinson to make it to the practice squad, with Jason Hill and Matthew Willis battling it out for the 5th and final main roster spot. Willis wins out due to familiarity, and special teams prowess.
Projected depth chart: Thomas, Decker, Stokley, Caldwell, Willis
The real kicker here is whether we'll keep an extra Tight End whilst Virgil Green is suspended. Bizarrely I think the answer to that may come down to whether we keep two or three QB's. To be honest with my projection that Hanie wins the backup QB job, as well as Chris Gronkowski and Chris Clark's ability to play as a 3rd Tight End, I'm inclined to think we just go 2 deep at TE for now and possibly cut Knowshon Moreno when Green is back in the fold. If we do keep a 3rd TE I believe it will be Cornelius Ingram as opposed to Julius Thomas who has shown nothing.
Projected depth chart: Dreessen, Tamme
Clady and Franklin are entrenched as the starters here. With potentially 10 spots for the offensive line I think both Chris Clark and Ryan Harris will sneak in.
Projected depth charts
LT: Clady, Harris
RT: Franklin, Clark
We know that Zane Beadles, JD Walton(Who has come on leaps and bounds) and Chris Kuper are the starters. We also know that Manny Ramirez will be the backup RG. I quite fancy CJ Davis and Phillip Blake as the last 2.
Projected depth charts
LG: Zane Beadles, CJ Davis
C: JD Walton, Phillip Blake
RG: Chris Kuper, Manny Ramirez
We know that Doom and Derek Wolfe are the starters here. We also know that the next 3 are Ayers, Jackson and Beal. Honestly with the amount of spots we have to apportion I expect all three to make the roster.
Projected depth charts
RDE: Dumervil, Beal
LDE: Wolfe, Ayers, Jackson
This looks settled here. Bannan, Vickerson, Warren and Unrein are roster locks. I personally like both Garland and Siliga for the practive squad.
Projected depth chart: Warren, Bannan, Unrein, Vickerson
We know that DJ Williams is going to the reserve/suspended list. That leaves us with starter Wesley Woodyard who is the only lock to make the roster, Danny Trevathan and Keith Brooking. It comes down to Brooking and the Trev for one spot, and since Brooking has shown nothing and Danny is a special teams demon it looks a no brainer.
Projected depth chart: Woodyard, Trevathan
Joe Mays is entrenched here as one of the weakest starters on our team, and MLB should be a priority going into next offseason. Unless of course we see promise from backup Steven Johnson.
Projected depth chart: Mays, Johnson
Von Miller is the best player on our defense. Nate Irving has gained a new lease of life as his backup so this looks pretty simple.
Projected depth chart: Miller, Irving
Our top 5 is determined. It's whether we keep a 6th corner or a 5th safety. I'm going for Squid because he can play FS as well and is a demon on special teams.
Projected depth chart: Bailey, Porter, Harris, Florence, Bolden, Thompson
Moore, Carter and Adams are locks. I'm picking Bruton for the last spot because of his special teams prowess.
Projected depth chart:
FS: Adams, Moore
SS: Carter, Bruton
K: Prater
P: Colquitt
LS: Brewer
And my practice squad is
QB Weber
WR Robinson
WR Orton
DE Blatnick
DT Garland
DT Siliga
LB Franklin
S Ihenacho

That is because P-mac is obsessed with depth charts. I used to be too, but they really mean nothing.
As for the game I expect alot of PT for Siliga, Unrein, M Jackson, and Beal. There are 2 spots for those 4 players IMO.
I also want to see what happens on that O-line. The 2nd's have been crap for the last two weeks. We may be looking elsewhere for OL depth.
Finally I want to see Osweiler play more. We have seen alot, but he needs more. He also needs an o-line to block and receivers to catch.
Otherwise I hate this 4th game and probably won't stay awake for the entire game.

Drayton Florence is not that good of a player. Give me Tony Carter any day of the week. And give me Leonard as well at S. Denver will keep 10 - goodbye to Squid - he's not that good.
Thomas will be signed to the P.S. if he does not make the roster (which I fully expect him to make)
They will keep 8 O.L - one of those players is going to have to be a swing man and play mutliple positions.

I really wish our OL depth was better so we could get a better feel for Brock and Caleb and what they can actually do. I just dont see either having much time in the pocket to do much tonight.
Players I will be focusing on tonight.....
Jamie Blatnick
Malik Jackson
Julius Thomas
Ryan Harris
Gerrel Robinson
Brooking (if he even plays)
Moreno versus Johnson

If it's Gameday, how come AZ, our opponent isn't even listed......
I'm with TO, don't think we'll carry 10 OL, think Harris is on his way out, I believe JT will be the 3rd TE, could be waived/PS after Green becomes eligible. I don't think Clark will see 5mins of time at TE this whole season.
I see Leonard making it over Squid too, Leonard's return skills and experience get the nod over Squid IMO.

I only saw Irving last week p-mac but wasn't very impressed. He just seemed too much hit or miss (no pun intended)
I'd like to see a lot more consistency from a backup.

Nice play my Malik Jackson shedding the block and stopping the run.
Ayers had good pressure against the backup tackle with an inside move, but Arizona got it out on a quick pass.

Trevathan making a lot of tackles. Went through a blocker to stop Wells from gashing the defense on a draw. Good coverage on a crossing route by Heap, too.
Quinton Carter came up to make a big hit on 4-and-1 but the replacement refs say first down.

Nice catch by Floyd on the TD there.
Lindley throws a jump ball behind a crossing Floyd in the endzone covered by Tony Carter. Floyd reaches back and tips the ball as Jim Leonhard knocks him in the direction of the falling ball. Floyd secures the catch on the way to the ground.

I think Danny T. and Malik J look good. Moreno is looking nice so far but Thomas may have just cut himself dropping that pass.

Have you seen this? https://gist.github.com/4393324
Hope it does the trick for you =)
Hey guys,
So, I have installed backtrack 5 r3 on a Virtual box and often use it for playing about with wifi exploits on my home network. Both myself and my housemate have it on our home PC's and laptops too.
I have an Atheros wifi usb card and the wifi guides all over the internet are all good. Airmon, Airodump, Aireply and Aircrack all work and I have no issues with backtrack5 in this respect.
However, I am now expanding my knowledge to network connected exploits and cisco switches. However, I cannot get any of the metasploit or armatage functions of bt5 to work correctly.
I am not sure if this is a setting with the network on my actual VB setup, as the wireless manager option no longer appears within backtrack since setting to a bridged connection :/
To add any extra advice see below:
I have found guides on changes between r2 and r3 and have tried a fresh install of metasploit using the commands 'apt-get update', which crashed (found the advice here: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/backt...acktrack-5-r3/, however it doesnt say about errors or if it crashes), followed by the command 'svn cleanup' and trying to get the update to run again.
On a side note, I have tried following guides, one here (https://community.rapid7.com/communi...metasploit-pro) seemed to work, but I could not register metasploit, the site doesnt seem to want to load on my virtualbox.
I also cannot get the DHCP3-Server settings to work, it simply hangs on the pop up window with the bar ticking up. I assume this is a Java / Flash update issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried to use the search functions here, but cannot find a suitable answer. If I am just being an idiot, please just feel free to point and laugh and point me to a newbies guide to setting stuff like this up :P
Thanks in advance,
Have you seen this? https://gist.github.com/4393324
Hope it does the trick for you =)
Have you...g0tmi1k?
bt5 screenshot.JPG
I still cant seem to connect to the internet via a wired connection - that might be an issue, its set to bridged at the moment, this should be the right setting, right?
Fresh install of BT5R3, going to give that guide a go and will update accordingly.
Thanks in advance guys
Oh, and yeah, I did have internet, both on my windows box and withing the BT VM :/
Hey guys and gals, so following the above advice I got it all working, not sure what it was but also had to re-install the drivers for my lan card.
Having further issues now though, might just be my bad luck, not to sure.
I am giving a little network a scan and am finding all the expected machines; Linux x 1, Apple x 1, Windows XP x 1, Windows 7 x1.
I do a scan and get the IP addresses, find the attacks and get a nice list of exploits to try. However, when I run a Hail Mary ... NONE of the exploits work, I updated the metasploit (2 days ago as opposed to the 153 days it was on before) but still get nothing that works. Am I missing something here?
Cheers again for your help

Snoop 'fesses up to pimp past
Listen to Snoop Lion on iHeartRadio
Apparently Snoop Dogg wasn't just playing the role of pimp in some of his past rap songs - he really was a pimp. Now going by the name Snoop Lion, the rapper-turned-reggae artist tells "Rolling Stone" magazine he actually had a bus of "employees" whose "services" he would farm out to athletes and entertainers while on tour.
Snoop says a lot of athletes bought into his "program," but unlike most pimps, he says he would let the women who traveled with him keep the money. He tells "Rolling Stone," "It was never about the money; it was about the fascination of being a pimp."
Snoop says he dreamed of being a pimp as a kid and of having cars, clothes and women to match. While enjoying his fame as a rap star, he decided he would fulfill that dream.
Snoop says his wife had to take a "backseat" to his "pimp program" but praises her for sticking by him even when she could have left. He says he loves her to this day because of that, noting that when he decided to end his "program," she was still there.

Materials Chemistry and Green Chemistry
What Am I Interested In Teaching?
Chemistry and technologies have contributed in countless ways to improve our way of living and have helped lead to a prosperous economy. At the same time "chemophobia" exists because of the bad image associated with the toxicity of chemicals. This paradox can be overcome if we think about a focus on green chemistry education and applying it to research with a sustainable development. Why don't we stop blaming chemistry and instead use chemistry to contribute to a greener and sustainable world? Let's stop talking and take action!
I have always believed that motivation is the key to success. To increase the thirst for new knowledge, I use educational tools to communicate my passion for chemistry. To make the lectures attractive and interesting I involve the students in discussions concerning new discoveries in chemistry and the environment. I incorporate Green Chemistry whenever the topic is appropriate. The students realize that they can contribute to pollution prevention by themselves and they feel responsible, which is the first step towards the "greening" of their minds.
A special topics course on "Towards the Greening of Our minds" is offered every other Spring at Washington College. See the following publication:

WATERBURY, VT — Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. announced executing a definitive agreement for it to acquire all the outstanding shares of Keurig Inc. that the company does not already own. Total consideration is $104.3 million. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.
Green Mountain Coffee currently owns approximately 35% of Keurig. After the merger, Keurig will remain headquartered in Wakefield, MA, and will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Green Mountain Coffee.
Green Mountain has signed a four-year employment contract with Keurig's president and chief executive, Nick Lazaris, to take effect upon consummation of the merger. Lazaris and his team will continue to lead the Keurig business.
Under terms of the pact, Green Mountain will acquire all outstanding common shares, preferred shares, warrants and vested options of Keurig for $99.5 million in cash. Additionally, the company will assume currently outstanding unvested options with an aggregate value of $4.8 million to Keurig employees. The total aggregate purchase price for the outstanding shares that Green Mountain Coffee does not already own in Keurig, representing approximately 65% of Keurig, implies a total value of approximately $160 million for 100% of Keurig.
Green Mountain Coffee has enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Keurig and its management team. It first invested in the business in 1996 (see VT, June 1997) and has watched Keurig grow into a leading premium, single-cup brewing system in both the office and at-home distribution channels. Keurig's financial highlights for its audited calendar year 2005 include an increase in net sales of 66% to $61 million.
Green Mountain Coffee currently represents more than 60% of Keurig's total "K-Cup" sales. Keurig's other North American "K-Cup" brand partners include Diedrich/Gloria Jean's, Timothy's, Van Houtte, Celestial Seasonings, Bigelow, Twinings and Tully's.
Since one of Keurig's differentiating features is its brand diversity, offering over 100 varieties of K-Cups, both Keurig and Green Mountain Coffee remain committed to Keurig's multi-brand strategy.
In addition to being firmly established as a leader in office-based single-cup brewing choices, Keurig is quickly establishing leadership in at-home sales. Keurig brewers are currently sold in more than 5,000 retail locations including Macy's, Filene's, Bloomingdale's; Dillard's; Marshall Fields, Target, and Bed, Bath & Beyond.

In-Game Blog/Box Score
Chris Bates couldn't find a lacrosse ball, so all he could do was tell Eric Sanschagrin that if had a game ball, it would have been his.
Sanschagrin, making his first start in goal this season and second in his career, helped shut out Harvard in the second and third quarters and five players had at least three points to lead Princeton to a 14-6 win over Harvard in front of 1,809 fans at Sherrerd Field at Class of 1952 Stadium.
The win improved Princeton to 8-4 on the season and 3-2 in the Ivy League and enabled the Tigers to join Cornell and Yale as teams that have clinched spots in the upcoming Ivy tournament.
Harvard is now 6-7 overall and 2-3 in the Ivy League but could still make the Ivy tournament field.
Sanschagrin, a sophomore, made one start a year ago but had played only 3:13 for the season prior to the Harvard game. He made eight saves in the game, seven of which came while Princeton built a 12-4 lead at the end of three quarters.
TURNING POINT OF THE GAME - It's a bit of a stretch, but it might have been the first four minutes, when Harvard's Peter Schwartz and Jack Walker unleashed strong shots that Sanschagrin was able to save. With a confident goalie at one end, Princeton scored five times before the end of the first quarter and then led 8-3 at the half.
WHAT THE BOX SCORE DOES TELL YOU - Princeton had five players with at least three points in the game, led by a three-goal, two-assist night by Jake Froccaro and a four-goal night by Mike MacDonald. Kip Orban tied his career high with three goals and added an assist, and Jeff Froccaro had two goals and two assists. Tom Schreiber did not have a goal for the first time this year, but he had three beautiful assists, two to MacDonald and one to Jake Froccaro.
WHAT THE BOX SCORE DOESN'T TELL YOU - Eric Sanschagrin is a vegetarian.
WHAT ELSE THE BOX SCORE DOESN'T TELL YOU - WIth his four goals, Mike MacDonald now has 53 for his career, making him the seventh player in program history to reach 50 goals before the end of his sophomore year. The other six: Jesse Hubbard, Chris Massey, B.J. Prager, Sean Hartofilis, Jason Doneger and Jack McBride.
NOTES - Jake Froccaro's five points were a career high ... Ryan Ambler returned after missing the last two games due to injury and had an assist ... Chris White also returned to the lineup ... Luke Armour had his third straight game with a goal after missing the first nine games with an injury ... Derick Raabe had seven more ground balls and now has at least five in seven straight games ... Princeton outshot Harvard 45-23, including 39-17 in the first three quarters ... Harvard did not score for 31:04 after scoring with 0.8 seconds in the first quarter to make it 5-3 after 15 minutes.
WHO WILL HOST THE IVY TOURNAMENT - Cornell would clinch the outright league title and home field for the tournament with a win over Brown on Saturday afternoon. Should Brown defeat Cornell, then the winner of next week's Princeton-Cornell game at MetLife Stadium would host the league tournament.
WHY IS PRINCETON DEFINITELY IN THE IVY TOURNAMENT - Princeton is now 3-2 in the league. Cornell is currently 4-0, and Yale is 3-2. Harvard and Penn are 2-3, while Dartmouth and Brown are 1-3. Princeton has beaten Yale, Harvard and Brown with losses to Penn and Dartmouth, so Princeton would be out if it finished in a tie with either Penn or Dartmouth or a three-way tie with both. But because Penn and Dartmouth play each other, a three-way tie is not possible. Princeton can only be in a two-way tie with either Dartmouth or Penn if Yale beats Harvard, but then only four teams would have three wins, so even though Princeton would lose the tiebreaker, it would still be in the top four. There could be a five-way tie for second at 3-3 between Yale (with a loss to Harvard), Harvard (with a win over Yale), Princeton (with a loss to Cornell), Penn (with a win over Dartmouth) and Brown (with a win over Cornell and a win over Dartmouth). In this scenario, Princeton would be the two seed by virtue of its 3-1 head-to-head record against the other four.


description: August 1, 2013—Though EEG (Electroencephalography) has been around for decades, now, new technology allows us to detect and measure brain activity with a lightweight headset and mobile phone. National Geographic Emerging Explorer and entrepreneur Tan Le demonstrates how her company's EEG headset and software can be used for a variety of research purposes.

So, EEG has been around since the 1930's, but the way in which we've collected those signals have been very much confined to a clinical context. The benefit now is that you can collect this data in a highly contextualized manner.
This particular headset provides coverage of key EEG sites around the cerebral cortex. Within a few minutes the signals will settle and you're ready to collect EEG. And so, with this it gives you an insight to someone's emotional state in real time.
She's awesome. So Amazing.
You record the data and once you complete your recording the rest of the data is sent to the cloud and then it generates a report to let you know how you performed essentially.
I had a relatively high degree of emotional arousal to that content because I am a woman trying to forge new frontiers and so that really resonated with me. There was a really strong degree of emotional positivity towards that segment and also I was pretty engaged. I had a high degree of attention and emersion. And the idea with this is it's not a one-time score but it's about getting a longitudinal sense of your activities. What interests you, how often are you engaged, how engaged are you.
The four main areas that we're starting to see the bulk of the activity is around, human-machine interaction, around learning, understanding consumer behavior or market research and the fourth area is medical and research.
What's great about having systems that are portable and relatively affordable is that people are starting to explore new ways of using EEG to capture information about the brains network connectivity across a broad range of real life situations.

Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport today welcomed the announcement that Spirit Airlines plans to start nonstop service to Fort Lauderdale and Dallas/Fort Worth on September 6, 2012. From those Spirit focus cities, travelers can connect to other destinations, including international markets in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
"We are pleased to welcome Spirit Airlines, which will offer additional flight options and low fares for our customers," said Paul J. Wiedefeld, Executive Director of BWI Marshall Airport. "BWI Marshall has the longstanding reputation as the convenient, 'easy come, easy go' airport for the Washington-Baltimore region. The addition of Spirit bolsters that value for travelers in this market."
Spirit Airlines promotes itself as an airline that offers ultra low base fares, with a number of optional travel services for a fee. Average domestic airfares at BWI Marshall are well-below the national average and among the lowest of any major U.S. airport, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
"Spirit has been providing low fares to Fort Lauderdale with connections to the Caribbean and Latin America from the Washington, DC/Baltimore area for nine years, and we look forward to better serving our customers from throughout the region at its premier low-cost airport – the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport," says Mark Kopczak, Maryland native and Spirit's Senior Director of Network Planning. "Our new location at BWI provides Spirit with better scheduling flexibility and the ability to add flights to more cities nonstop, which ultimately translates to better service and more low fare options for our customers. Spirit's new nonstop service to Dallas/Fort Worth is a perfect example of the flexibility that BWI provides us."
Spirit will offer twice daily roundtrip flights between BWI Marshall and Fort Lauderdale, and one daily roundtrip flight between BWI Marshall and Dallas/Fort Worth. The airline will operate from Concourse C at the Airport. Spirit will operate the flights using its 178-seat Airbus A320 aircraft.
Passenger traffic has grown steadily at BWI Marshall, with a new record set in 2011 with 22.39 million passengers. The first quarter of 2012 was the busiest first three months of any year in the Airport's history.

AT&T 4G LTE Available in Watertown
Customers to benefit from nation's fastest 4G LTE network on the latest devices
Watertown, New York, March 27, 2013
AT&T* has turned on the nation's fastest 4G LTE network** in Watertown, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. The LTE upgrade to AT&T's 4G network includes Watertown, Black River, Calcium, Evans Mills, and Fort Drum.
"We welcome AT&T's investment in its network in Watertown," said Watertown Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham. "Reliable wireless coverage for residents and local businesses is vital to the economic health of Watertown and all of Jefferson County. As folks become more and more tied to their wireless devices, it's comforting to know they can have dependable coverage in Watertown."
Elsewhere in upstate New York, AT&T has upgraded its network to 4G LTE in Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Saratoga, Saratoga Springs, and Ithaca.
Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including:
- Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G***. Customers can stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before.
- Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets.
- Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming, two-way video calling and telemedicine.
- More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource, and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better network experience.
"We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Watertown responds to what customers want from their mobile experience — more, faster, on the best devices," said Marissa Shorenstein, president, AT&T New York.
AT&T invested more than $1.4 billion in its New York wireless and wireline networks from 2010 through 2012, with a focus on expanding 4G LTE mobile Internet coverage and enhancing the overall performance of its networks.
AT&T's 4G Network
AT&T's innovation and investment has resulted in the nation's largest 4G network, covering 288 million people with ultra-fast speeds and a more consistent user experience. Our 4G LTE network delivered faster average download speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld's most recent 13-market speed tests.
AT&T's 4G LTE network delivers speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G as well as multiple innovations that optimize the network for performance. Our network's radio components are placed close to the antenna at most cell sites, instead of inside the base station, which helps minimize power loss between the base station and antenna and, in turn, improves the performance of our 4G LTE network. The network also is designed with its core elements distributed across the country, which helps reduce latency, or the delay when using the Internet, because your request isn't traveling as far.
Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage, customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G LTE areas on our 4G HSPA+ network, unlike competitors, where smartphone customers fall back to slower 3G technologies when outside of LTE coverage.
AT&T's focus to deliver the best possible mobile Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embrace additional connection technologies. AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network**** including more than 32,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers, and provides access to more than 402,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.
AT&T also is a leading developer of Distributed Antenna Systems, which utilize multiple small antennas to maximize coverage and speed within stadiums, convention centers, office buildings, hotels and other areas where traditional coverage methods are challenging.
Over the past five years, AT&T invested nearly $98 billion into operations. Since 2008, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a July 2012 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. "Investment Heroes."
AT&T recently announced Project Velocity IP, its strategic plan to invest $14 billion over the next three years to expand its wireless and wireline IP broadband networks. As part of Project Velocity IP, AT&T's 4G LTE network is expected to cover 300 million people by year-end 2014, and its wireline IP network is expected to extend to approximately 57M customer locations, covering approximately 75% of customer locations in AT&T's wireline service area by year-end 2015.

Were the Stone Roses demoted for Blur to headline Coachella?
Listen to Stone Roses on iHeartRadio | Listen to Blur on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Britain's Stone Roses may be best known for their 1989 modern rock hit "I Wanna Be Adored," but apparently during the first weekend of this year's Coachella Music Festival, they weren't adored quite enough.
The turnout for the band's headlining set last Friday night (April 12) was noticeably thinner than the crowds that turned out for the weekend's other headliners. In fact, fellow reunited '90s Brit-rockers Blur pulled a larger and more enthusiastic crowd. With that the case, the bands have swapped spots for this Friday's fest (April 19), leading some to assume that the Stone Roses had been demoted from the headlining spot.
However, Paul Tollet, president of Coachella promoter Goldenvoice, told Rolling Stone that's not the case. It was also planned to have the two acts switch spots over the two weekends all along.
"When the [lineup] poster came out, when we announced the show, each weekend's poster was different," Tollet said. "The first weekend said 'Stone Roses/Blur' and the second weekend said 'Blur/Stone Roses.' This was planned from day one. It was a dual bill and we'd flip-flop them." He added, "There's not a chance I could take a headliner and demote them."
The move will likely have Blur fans singing "woo-hoo" from that band's biggest hit, "Song 2," while the Stone Roses, who hail from Manchester -- the same town as Blur's late, great Brit-pop rivals Oasis -- will still wanna be adored. They'll just be looking for love a little earlier.

Gamecock Guarantee makes college accessible, affordable
A University of South Carolina program that covers tuition for its neediest in-state students is making college dreams a reality for more than 200 undergraduates in the program.
Established as the Gamecock Guarantee, the program is the only need-based scholarship plan of its kind in South Carolina. Two classes have been admitted since fall 2008. The program guarantees that students from the state's lowest-income families and who meet the entrance requirements of the university will have their tuition and technology fees covered for four years of study.
"The Gamecock Guarantee is helping to remove the financial barriers that have kept many South Carolina students from being able to attend the University of South Carolina," said Scott Verzyl, assistant vice provost for enrollment management. "The program enables students to earn a high-quality education and a degree from the state's premiere research university regardless of their financial circumstance."
A total of 211 students have enrolled at Carolina because of Gamecock Guarantee, which places students in one of three programs to ensure their academic success and adjustment to college life. The programs include the Opportunity Scholars Program, Capstone Scholars Program and the South Carolina Honors College.
Jordan Addison, a freshman and a graduate from Stratford High School in Goose Creek, said the Gamecock Guarantee has lifted financial burdens and allowed her to be a successful member of the campus community.
"When I think about the Gamecock Guarantee and the support that the Opportunity Scholars Program has provided for my first semester at USC, I feel blessed," Addison said. "I have been brought into a community of loving and caring professors, advisers and fellow students. There is a sense of community and a common bond that have been created by all involved in this program. More than anything, I am thrilled that, because of this program, I do not have to add any financial or emotional burdens to my mother. I have not had to ask her once to help me out financially with anything regarding paying for school. It is such a relief to know that because of this program, I can continue my dream of being at the University of South Carolina and continue to make my mom proud by accomplishing all that she has ALWAYS told me that I could."
Addison wasted no time in becoming involved in campus life; she is a member of Freshman Council and a university ambassador.
A student must be accepted to the University of South Carolina Columbia as a first-time, full-time freshman for fall semester, be a first-generation college student (neither parent earned a four-year degree), and qualify for a Pell Grant and complete a federal financial-aid form (FAFSA) with a family income no greater than 150 percent of federal poverty guidelines, or approximately $33,000 for a family of four, to be eligible for the Gamecock Guarantee.
The amount of financial help that students receive through the Gamecock Guarantee, so that tuition and technology fees are covered, varies depending on other scholarships and grants each student may have earned. Regardless, all students receive a $2,500 award through the Gamecock Guarantee, which can be applied to expenses such as books or supplies if tuition and technology fee costs have been met by other scholarships and grants.
"Our goal is to limit or eliminate altogether educational debt for Gamecock Guarantee students and their families and create a college-going culture for all citizens of South Carolina," said Verzyl.
South Carolina Honors College student Chadwick Devlin, a sophomore from Pendleton, sees the Gamecock Guarantee as the foundation for his future success as a lawyer.
"Without the Gamecock Guarantee and the financial resources it provides, I would not be able to reach my greatest potential," said Devlin, a peer mentor who is majoring in criminology and criminal justice. "This program exemplifies how the University of South Carolina cares for the future. It is only moral that an individual should not be barred from higher education due to their financial circumstance."
Verzyl said the university wants to raise awareness of the Gamecock Guarantee and donor support for it.
"An educated citizenry is vital to the health and economic future of South Carolina," he said. "The Gamecock Guarantee is critical to making a quality education at the University of outh Carolina available to the state's neediest students. Gamecock Guarantee was created with internal funding, but it is external funding from donors that will be the key to growing the program and helping more students."
To be eligible for the Gamecock Guarantee program in fall 2010, students must apply to the University of South Carolina by Dec. 1 and complete a federal financial-aid form by Feb. 28.
To learn more about Gamecock Guarantee, visit the www.sc.edu/guarantee, or contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, 803-777-7700. To give financial support to Gamecock Guarantee, call the Office of Development at the University of South Carolina, 803-777-4488.
"The University of South Carolina must be both accessible and affordable to meet the higher-education needs of South Carolina," said Verzyl. "The Gamecock Guarantee is the cornerstone for realizing that, and it is our promise of a brighter future for South Carolina's neediest students."

The Log Cabin Quilters met Thursday, April 26, at the Levy County Quilt Museum. Now that we've set the date for our Open House on May 19, it's time to start getting ready for the event. We'll be spending the next few weeks moving items around.
Bobbi in Orlando sent a package of her stained glass items. We have them hanging in the windows to catch the morning sun. She had also sent up flower pins, which are adorable.

Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald wrote Wednesday that the battle to be the Dolphins' starting running back is "wide open." It has been assumed all summer that Lamar Miller will get the first cracks on Sept. 8, but his grip on the job has loosened due to preseason mistakes such as a fumble and a costly drop on third-and-2.
"Obviously, Lamar has to catch the ball on third-and-2 when you're wide open like that," head coach Joe Philbin said. "That's a play you have to make in that critical situation early in the ballgame. ... There are still plays to be made before the final decision."
As Miller falls, Daniel Thomas is getting more opportunities to run with the starters. The two backs have been splitting time with the first-team offense in recent 11-on-11 drills.
Fantasy Analysis:
I scoffed when offensive coordinator Mike Sherman hinted at a competition here, but this is for real. It may be difficult to understand because Miller is so much more talented, and Thomas is such a sluggish runner, but it's obvious that Miller, who has 51 career carries on his record, hasn't gained the coaching staff's trust. Odds are Miller rises to the top and separates himself. Until then, he is probably best drafted as a low-end RB2 or flex. Of course, that could make Miller a value pick if everything pans out like it should.

When Justin Bieber was 15 years old he was recorded telling a racist joke that also involved him using the N word. The recording had been suppressed since then, but over the weekend was finally released. Yesterday Bieber released a statement that said, "As a young man, I didn't understand the power of certain words and how they can hurt. I thought it was OK to repeat hurtful words and jokes, but didn't realize at the time that it wasn't funny and that in fact my actions were continuing the ignorance. I take my friendships with people of all cultures very seriously and I apologize for offending or hurting anyone with my childish and inexcusable mistake. I was a kid then and I am a man now who knows my responsibility to the world and to not make that mistake again."
Setting aside the question of whether he acts like a man now or not, he was 15 years old and yes, he should have known better, but I have never met anyone who thinks he is racist and I also believe him that he does not use the N word any longer. He had lots of people rush to his defense yesterday and lots of people knew the recording existed, but it didn't stop them from associating with him and I don't think its release will probably change any of that.

Theater Review by Adam Feldman. Irish Repertory Theatre (Off Broadway). Music and lyrics by Johnny Burke. Book by Robert E. McEnroe. Dir. Charlotte Moore. With James Barbour, Jenny Powers. 1hr 50mins. One intermission.
For the past decade, the Irish Rep has striven to include musicals in its seasons, and it seems to be running out of options. That's the best explanation I can offer for its revival of Donnybrook!, a four-leaf snoozer that played Broadway for two months in 1961. Adapted from the film The Quiet Man, Donnybrook! tells of an American boxer, Sean (Barbour), who returns to his Irish hometown of Innisfree after killing a man in the ring; there he promptly falls in love song with a hardheaded lass named Mary Kate (Powers)—only to be thwarted by her belligerent brother (Ted Koch), whom he refuses to fight. Dramatic potential is all but excised in Robert E. McEnroe's threadbare book, at least as adapted by director Charlotte Moore. What remains is a bus-and-truckload of quaint-misbehavin' blarney.
Donnybrook! 's main asset is its score by Johnny Burke, the lyricist of such standards as "Misty." Here he has written the music as well, which is pleasant and instantly forgettable. Barbour sings in a commanding baritone but otherwise shrugs through his role; Kathy Fitzgerald and Samuel Cohen inject hints of comic relief. The rest of the cast strains to convey a sense of rural Irish cheer, whether stumbling through brogues, rooting for fistfights ("I'd love to see a donnybrook!!!!") or essaying a few mandatory step dances. It would be unfair to blame them for failing to deliver a show that has no punch to pack.—Adam Feldman

Compare great Chrysler Fan Belt prices in Hendon with Who Can Fix My Car.
Friendly efficient garage who are keen to help. Work completed quickly no problems keen pricing and they kindly arranged for my car to be MOT'd too. Recommended.
Received a brilliant service from this garage they picked my car up from my home address took it away replaced clutch and returned it same day at a very reasonable price compared to other garages. The major highlight was that I didn't have to leave my house so so so convenient plus a job well done
Nina was exceptionally helpful. The communications were excellent, she recommended some additional work to the car, which I authorised. The additional cost was very reasonable and not a "rip off" as you would expect from garages. When the car was dropped off, Nina insisted on showing the parts that were replaced and the state of wear and tear. The workmanship was excellent, as was the price and communications. I couldn't ask for more. I can definitely recommend GML Automechanics!
I am very satisfied, they did a great job!
Nothing much to say Great Job at a reasonable price Thank you GML AutoMechanics
Quick and good value. I would go back!
was very happy with the service
good work, great people, good quality
Bit more than I wanted to spend, but done a really good job at fixing the damage on my car. Better than expected.
Took in my s type jag to change the gearbox sump,filter and oil.i supplied the parts.i bought them from eBay.got a call from garage to say I got wrong sump pan.they cleaned up the original and put my new oil in.car runs and gear change is smooth and spot on. Thank you and I will recommend you to my friends and use you again.i also got a call to say I forgot my sump pan that I supplied.went back and got it and now its going back to suppliers.thanks again.great customer care.friendly staff
I was very happy with the level of customer service and care and attention they paid to my BMW and to explaining the issues to me. They were very thorough and have a great family feel about them. The price was fair and I would most certainly recommend them to others. I will definitely be doing business with them again.
Efficient service, got booked in straight away
Robert provided great communication throughout. The final price reflects additional work required to replace the air con unit, as well as an interim service I requested. Would be happy to recommend, very professional service.
Pros: good documentation of the service Cons: they don't work with customer's parts and i would have expected them to use Castrol Edge, not Magnatec, which was quite expensive (49gbp for 4.5 l)...agree customers can fail bringing the correct parts but don't think it's a valid reason. Also, gbp 120 plus vat for an oil change, i think that's too much and the oil is not even the best one. They should inform the customer amd agree on the spare parts/ oil. Using after market spare parts should be an option. Next time I will go for a service where i can use my own spare parts and oil/ cooling liquid. However, if you agree with their way of car service, you should go for it.
Robert contacted me for the work and explained to me exactly what was needed and time required. He also helped me book the appointment for Saturday. He answered all my queries clearly. On the day as agreed, they started work as soon as I reached the garage and the work was completed on time as previously mentioned. Read brake pads and sensor were changed. Brake fluid was replaced. They also inspected the front brakes and discs and even suggested when I would need to change it and did not scare or persuade me to change it right away like some other garage had quoted me. Overall it has been a pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend C&R Motors and their team. Thanks guys
Very good service
Not only did they do the work on the same day, very quickly, charging reasonable prices, they were also top guys. Would recommend without hesitation.
Positive experience with Autowerke Garage. They booked me in and fixed my ailing aircon all on the same day. Warm and friendly staff with a cosy waiting area. I'll most certainly be returning in the future for other jobs. Highly recommended. Thanks guys
Really good service friendly and helpful will defo return when needed don't get service like this verry often thanks
Great service..very friendly...
Great service and did a great job on repairing a dent that I had on my car. Have a flexible approach and was able to book the car in at short notice. Would definitely recommend
Very good
Definitely Recommend this garage, great staff, very welcoming and friendly, gives honest advice and good service. Extra things were done without charge. A++++++++
You cannot trust them either..they didn't make oil change and they charge me 30£ for that job, what didn't do, some unreliable..i'm sitting customer room and i cannot see, what they do..watch out this garage..i cannot recommended them ! They try to charge brake discs too, discs not always need to change same time, when pads..
Job could have been done a little bit quicker but very good service overall!
Very good communication. Fast repair and quality work. I would go back again.
Nina at Bonis made me feel welcome to the garage and informed me of the progress while the car was being repaired. When I returned she showed me what parts were replaced. Honestly have to say that the service Nina provided is the best I've had from a garage. I would highly recommend this garage for friendly / honest customer service, fantastic value for money and performing repairs within stated budget. There were closer garages to me but decided to travel in because of the competitive quote and how I was treated by the staff here.
Good, professional and work done as expected. Totally recommend.
Fast and very good service.I recommend this garage if you want to be cheap and to get maximum quality service for your car.
Good communication very helpful. Great job, done very quickly, for a reasonable price. Will definitely use again and would recommend.

Is April a bad month?
(Cleveland) - With the stabbings of students at a school near Pittsburgh, we are reminded that April can be a tragic month in America. It marks the anniversaries of some of the most gruesome attacks in U.S. history.
April 19, 1993: the FBI's siege of the Waco compound leaves 76 dead.
April 19, 1995: the bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City kills 168 people.
April 20, 1999: A mass shooting at Columbine High School leaves 15 dead.
April 16, 2007: The Virginia Tech massacre kills 33.
April 15, 2013: - Two separate bombs explode at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and wounding about 170 others.
Is there something about April and the start of spring that drives some people crazy?
Nationally recognized crime expert Dr. Daniel Flannery of Case Western Reserve University says there are several factors at play, especially in school violence.
Flannery is director of the Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education at CWRU's Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences.
As far as school attacks are concerned, Flannery says April can be a stressful time for students facing academic achievement testing. It's also a transition time, with students and teachers coming and going. Kids without strong connections can feel lost and confused. Couple that with social media and Flannery says there is an increased potential for trouble.
Flannery also says there is in a trend in the media, to do stories about the anniversaries of tragic events, often highlighting the acts of the perpetrators, with victims and first responders receiving less attention. So anyone who is thinking about acting out and bringing attention to themselves are reminded of exactly how to do it.

In modern electronic devices such as digital cameras, mobile phones, portable gaming consoles, laptops or netbooks, micro-optical systems are decisive interfaces between the real world and the microelectronics of the image sensor inside a camera module. At present, the general concept of a camera module assembly undergoes a transition from discrete assembly to wafer-level integration using well-established semiconductor technologies. Wafer-level cameras have already started to replace conventional modules due to smaller form factors and lower cost performance ratios.
Aligned UV Bonding The ultimate micro optics stack is fabricated by UV bonding of all elements, including individual double side microlens wafers as well as spacer wafers required to achieve the final stack height. Crucial parameters are lens-to-spacer alignment accuracy, total thickness variation of the resulting bond interface and wafer throughput.

description: For gorgeous beaches, sangria under the sun, rich cultural history, and a vibrant urban scene, only one choice fits the bill... Spain.

title: Destination: Spain

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
If you’ve got an appetite for a vacation filled with gorgeous beaches, sangria under the sun, and a vibrant urban scene, then there’s one choice that’ll fit the bill, Spain.
Hi, I’m Patty Kim. More than 50 million people visit Spain every year, to gulp down the sunshine, the music, the art, the bold architecture, and the platefuls of paella that make up Spain’s contagious passion for living.
In 1975, after 35 years of General Franco’s Fascist regime, King Juan Carlos I took power and propelled Spain into an era of freedom and democracy. Today, cities like the capital, Madrid, and Barcelona are cultural centers, buzzing with life day and night.
And at over 2 thousand feet, Madrid is Europe’s highest capital. Located here, is the royal palace, the largest in Western Europe. It became the royal residence in 1561, was rebuilt after a fire in 1734 and today, is used only for ceremonial purposes. Spain’s rich history can be seen all over Madrid; from the Plaza de Cibeles to Don Quixote to the Museo del Prado where you’ll find works by Velasquez, Goya, and El Greco.
Northeast of Madrid is Barcelona, the second largest city in Spain as well as the capital of the Autonomous Community of Catalonia. In the streets of Barcelona, not only will you hear Catalan as well as Spanish but you’ll also be surrounded by the work of artists like Miró, Picasso and Gaudí. Architect Antoni Gaudí’s buildings can be seen all throughout the city. His last project, Sagrada Familia, is a massive church that has been under construction since 1882. Some people expect it to be completed around 2041.
One of the most delectable ways to get a sense of Spain is through “tapas,” traditional appetizers that keep you going until dinner, which rarely happens before 10 pm.
Bullfighting is a fiber deeply woven into the Spanish cultural tapestry. With origins dating back thousands of years it is both ritualistic and ceremonial. While protested by some as a cruel pastime, brave souls who wish to experience bullfighting firsthand should venture to a Plaza de Toros, or Bullring, the most famous of which are in Madrid and Seville, where only the best matadors are allowed to flaunt their artistry. That’s right. For fans, bullfighting is not a sport but an art.
Another deeply Spanish cultural performance is Flamenco. Flamenco is a form of song, guitar playing and dance that embodies the complex soul of Andalucia, a region in southern Spain. If you listen closely, you can hear Arab, oriental and gypsy influences blending together to produce this world renown sound. And if you’re really lucky, you might catch a dash of flamenco not on a stage but in its rawest, most authentic form as a spontaneous outburst late at night in a backstreet bar. Most experts believe Flamenco originated between the 9th and 14th century when gypsies arrived from north India, via Egypt, and Eastern Europe and fused their music with cultural arrivals from North Africa.
In addition to influencing Spanish music, the North African Moorish presence in Spain has shaped Andalucian architecture. In Granada, Alhambra, derived from the Arabic for "red” is a palace and fortress complex built for Moorish monarchs.  The Mosque, in Cordoba, though now a Catholic Cathedral, once stood as the second largest mosque in the world.
Wherever your travels may take you in Spain, most likely at every turn, you’ll encounter that Spanish spirit, a passionate force, with a flair for drama.
