Programs offered online by many colleges and universities provide a solid educational foundation for people of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences. Last year, the U.S. had over 1.4 million active military members who offered their skills to support defense. As many of these personnel expand their education, retire, or leave active duty, online studies are often the best path to completing a degree. Online programs offer veterans a number of tuition discounts, credit for previous military training, scholarships, flexibility in scheduling, and other educational benefits. Due to the number of educational options available to military personnel and veterans, we've created a list to assist in the selection process.

Look at these angels, these shepherds, these sheep. (double click too and see the stars Skyler and I made and her earnest little face in the crowd of joyfully singing children).
2 months ago, I met with the priest at our church to chat about the pageant. Halfway through the meeting I realized that she was trying to ask me to direct it this year.
I said no. No. Too busy. Don't know anything about it. No idea how to do that. No time. (plus there is this tiny complication that I'm still not sure I'm a real Episcopalian).
Nevertheless, 10 minutes later, I was all:
"Okay, so I'll start working on the script and email you in the morning."
That's a good quality in a leader: she pulled a jedi mind trick on me without me knowing it by telling me how good I'd be at directing a pageant because I was so good with my students and next thing you know...
So, I was the director of the pageant this year. But I had a lot of help. And it was stressful and fun and it turned out beautifully. (Except for Reed who cried from the second we zipped up his sheep costume and wanted no other shepherd but Sam to hold him, so he was in the audience instead). I wish I had video of the kids singing "GOOOOOOOO Tell it on the Mountain!" with their perfectly cute o-shaped mouths and their wings a-bouncin.

Okay, I have to admit I have never met you in person but only know you through your blog but I have to ask: How do you do it? I know it may sound corny but I could use some of that "je ne sais quoi" I can't really say, "you had me at hello", but I have to admit, from woman to woman, from mother to mother, from wife to wife and from teacher to teacher: you inspire me to keep working on everything...thank you

OK, now the Omom (grandmother) has to chime in. Seeing the joy in Skyler's face ( and the other children too) as they sang their songs and enacted their roles as perfect little angels truly brought tears to my eyes. Even Reed as the wandering lamb had its endearing moment. (I wish we had a photo of him in that suit.)
You did it , Emilie. Great job!! - January 6, 2009 at 11:28 AM

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The Oklahoma City Thunder relocated from Seattle in 2008 and many questioned the step down in terms of market size and household incomes of residents. Salt Lake City and New Orleans are the only metro areas smaller than Oklahoma City among NBA cities. Higher incomes should fuel higher ticket prices and incomes in Seattle are one-third higher than Oklahoma City. But little Oklahoma City with 1.3 million people in the metro area is supporting the Thunder just fine.
The Thunder has the highest median ticket price ($185) on the secondary market for the second half of the NBA season for home games, according to data from ticket reseller Vivid Seats. It is higher than prices in the big markets of Los Angeles and New York, as well as glamour spots like Miami. The Thunder has the NBA's second-best record and fans are clamoring to see Kevin Durant, who leads the NBA in scoring, and is the favorite to capture his first MVP award this season.
The Thunder has sold out every game at Arena since February 2011 and count 4,000 people on its season ticket waiting list. Demand has risen during the year with median prices at $170 to start the season, which ranked third behind the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers, according to Vivid. The Thunder is a hit on TV also with ratings tripling last year for games on Fox Sports Oklahoma to an NBA-high of 8.65.
The rest of the top 10 is littered with big market teams. The Knicks have the second highest prices at $159 despite sitting 15 games under .500 at 21-36. The Knicks started the season with the priciest ducats at $200, but the train wreck of a season, which hit its nadir this week with the arrest of point guard Raymond Felton on gun possession charges, has dinged demand.
The Lakers have dropped to fourth, as their own nightmare season unfolds without Kobe Bryant, who has played only six games this year. The Lakers 19-38 record is the worst in the Western Conference and prices at the Center have dropped to their lowest levels in years. The median price is $125 versus $185 to start the season. Sandwiched between the Knicks and Lakers is the Heat at $150. The LeBron James-led squad started the year at $155.
One of the big movers is the Phoenix Suns. At the start of the year, the Suns were lumped in with the NBA's tanking teams that stripped their rosters bare for a shot at picking high in the loaded 2014 draft. Suns' ticket prices sat in the middle of the pack of NBA teams at $95 in November, but have jumped to fifth overall at $110. The team sits a surprising 10 games over .500 and currently in the eighth playoff spot in the competitive Western Conference.
Prices on the secondary market tend to drop as the season unfolds, particularly for teams out of the playoff hunt. No team had as big a fall as the New Orleans Pelicans, who hosted the NBA's All-Star Game this month, but now sit 10 games out of the playoff picture. Prices for Pelicans games on the secondary market started the year at $60, but have plummeted to $22 for the second half. Below is a full list of the current pricing for the NBA's 30 teams from Vivid.

Seibel ends season in state quarterfinals, Elston and LeJeune lose opening round match to Columbus Academy
Division II State Boys Tennis
Compiled by Gary R. Rasberry
Celina's Alex Seibel had the longest match of the opening round at the Division II boys tennis singles tournament, and he fought through two tiebreakers to win the match Friday at The Ohio State University.
The Celina senior's season ended, though, in the quarterfinals as he could not win a game against Cincinnati Country Day's J.J. Wolf.
Seibel opened the tournament against Jason Prince of Proctorville Fairland. Seibel started out strong, jumping out to a 3-1 lead in the first set before Prince came back to tie it at 5-5 before Seibel won the last two games to take the opening set 7-5.
In the second set, Seibel was up 5-0 before Prince charged back again at 5-5. Seibel took the next game, but Prince came back to make it 6-6 and force the tiebreaker. Prince won the tiebreaker 7-3 to even the match.
The back-and-forth play continued in the final set, but this time Seibel came back from down 2-5 to tie it and force the tiebreaker. This time, the NetDog came away victorious with an 8-6 tiebreak win to take the match 7-5, 6-7 (3-7), 7-6 (8-6).
"He saved two match points and came back and won the tiebreaker," Celina coach Toma Hainline said. "That just shows the heart that he has. Very proud of the effort."
Seibel next faced Ford, a freshman who was the runner-up out of the Southwest District. Ford dominated the match, winning 6-0, 6-0 to advance to this morning's semifinals. Celina's doubles team of Isaac Elston and Kris LeJeune faced off against the Central District championship team of Evan Alexander and Dean Firouzian of Columbus Academy, losing 2-6, 3-6 to end the season.
"I thought we could have done a little better," Hainline said. "(The Columbus Academy team) was a little bigger. We made some unforced errors that we typically don't make. There was some nerves."

Hawks 80, Celtics 83
Key Moment
The Boston Celtics won their first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks Thursday night with an 83-80 victory in Game 6.
Many fans who were watching this contest will remember the fact that Al Horford missed a critical free throw that would have tied the game with 2.3 seconds left in regulation. Others will remember the fact that Kevin Garnett, who was as dominant as ever, drilled the go-ahead basket with 30.4 seconds remaining in the game.
But who will remember the fact that neither of the plays above would have happened if Ryan Hollins, who had played all of 250 career postseason minutes heading into Game 6, hadn't made the biggest play of the game with 42.3 seconds remaining on the clock?
Doc Rivers sure will.
"I've got to say again, Ryan Hollins tonight was sensational," Rivers said moments after the win. "That rebound was the biggest rebound in the game."
The rebound Rivers alluded to arrived with 42.3 seconds left in the game when the Celtics trailed 79-78. Kevin Garnett had just missed a potential go-ahead jumper and it seemed as if Boston was going to need another critical defensive stop in order to have an opportunity to win this game. Then Hollins stepped in for the biggest rebound of his career.
Camped out in the paint against a rebounding machine like Horford, Hollins rose up to grab Garnett's miss and immediately went back up to put home a basket. However, due to the noise of the TD Garden faithful, no one heard the fact that the whistle had blown and Hollins was fouled by Horford before the shot was attempted.
Rivers called for a timeout and replaced Hollins with Brandon Bass, but that didn't matter. Hollins' work was already complete. He gave the Celtics another shot at a go-ahead basket, and the team capitalized on that opportunity.
Garnett banged home a 13-foot, turnaround jumper about 12 seconds later on a play that Rivers says wasn't even run for him.
"The last play that Kevin scored on... [the Celtics] went to the last option," Rivers confessed.
It doesn't matter which option Garnett was. All that matters is that it worked. Garnett made the shot and the Celtics held on for the series-clinching win.
After everyone is done slaughtering Horford for choking and savoring Garnett for stepping up, be sure to give Hollins some love, too.
Key Box Score Line
Hear ye, hear ye! An announcement to all NBA players and owners: Do not criticize Kevin Garnett.
"First off, I want to say 'Thank you,' to their owner for giving me some extra gas tonight," Garnett immediately exclaimed after the Boston Celtics discarded the Atlanta Hawks Thursday night.
Hawks co-owner Michael Gearon Jr. called Garnett the "dirtiest player in the league" on Wednesday. Garnett responded by dominating Gearon's players in Game 6 as if they were high schoolers.
The Big Ticket delivered the goods tonight with a ridiculous state line of 28 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, three steals and five blocked shots. He's one of four players ever to deliver a box score like that in a playoff game. And he did it all while committing just one measly foul.
Box Score Nuggets
- The Celtics outscored the Hawks in only one of the four quarters.
- Kevin Garnett, who logged game highs of 28 points and 14 rebounds, scored 10 more points than the next-highest scorer and grabbed five more rebounds than the next-highest rebounder.
- Garnett's five blocks were one more than the entire Hawks team logged.
- Rajon Rondo's double-digit assist streak ended at 28 games. He dished out eight assists in Game 6.
- Three technical fouls were called in the game and all of them went against Atlanta.
- Rondo committed a game-high five turnovers.
- Paul Pierce scored 18 points on just 11 shots.
- Boston outrebounded Atlanta 40-36, and none of the Hawks' players grabbed more than nine boards.
- Four of Atlanta's five starters scored between 15 and 18 points, led by Josh Smith's 18.
- Ray Allen led Boston's bench with seven points and five rebounds.
- Rondo (five) and Pierce (three) were the only Celtics players to commit more than one turnover.
- Boston's Big Three were the only Celtics to attempt a free throw in the game. They combined to shoot 19-of-24 from the stripe.
- The Celtics outscored the Hawks 42-30 in the paint.
- Al Horford, in just his third game back from injury, played a game-high 46 minutes and 26 seconds.
- Four of Atlanta's five starters were whistled for four fouls. None of Boston's players committed more than three.
Quote of the Night
Kevin Garnett's first comments of his postgame press conference, regarding Atlanta's co-owner Michael Gearon Jr.: "First off, I want to say, 'Thank you,' to their owner for giving me some extra gas tonight. My only advice to him is next time he opens his mouth, actually know what he's talking about, X's and O's versus checkbooks and bottom lines."

About MeHello everyone!"hackers/impersonators/haters/theives, etc" just so you know, you're screwed. Don't think so yet? You will soon. You must know the laws by now. I don't care whom you all are; the few names I have are all they need to find the rest of you pedophiles, murderers/attempted murderers, stalkers, sick malicious dorks who think it's your job to ruin my life. Who needs CIA, FBI, or even weapons, when I am me? I don't need those. If you don't know that by now, you will very soon. Step off, back off, quit the illegal and threatening BS. Unless you simply want me to have even MORE proof that i'm correct and you simply suck. Enough about that for now. And giving the $ you owe to me (all of it) starting um, NOW, is a great idea... Ok that was for the losers/freaks/tools/sociopaths NOT on "my side." To the legitimate photographers, producers, directors, reps, etc... Mt info is as follows: I will consider shoots/work, paid only, and in the LA area for the most part, for art-figure through clothed. Some mild fetish too. Rates range $80+/hr , $200+/4hrs (half-day.) I normally cannot book more than 4hrs at once due to my spine-injury. For on-camera/acting, depends on the genre, usage, etc, but I do not to extra/background work (unless it pays like $100/hr); no nude acting (that's called my Life, lol), singing (in-studio) is generally based on song(s), location, usage, and if i'm using a "real" studio or "home" equipment I have... Generally I can do very good studio work for one song in 2-3 hrs max. in "real" studios; but at home, one song will take me appx. 10-12 hrs. (Voiceovers are much less time, etc.) Sounds I am hard to work with. I'm not. I have hundreds of referrals I can provide upon request, resume for acting/singing. I also do "live" work, like pilots for game shows/talk-shows (paid); radio/podcasts; promotions for specific clubs/DJs/events. I do a lot of different things... Please email me at email@example.com and/or email@example.com with name, when the shoot/job is, where, pay range, usage, etc. I AM actively seeking representation for acting, singing/audio (studio), voiceover/commercials, literary, art/photography, modeling, and other. Legal rep sought as well... Please do not ask me to do unpaid work, explicits, and please do not contact me re: work then totally disappear after we set a date and everything. I haven't done much when that happens but I will if it happens again. Also, if YOU have a "problem" about ME, I prefer you contact me and tell me.. As it might not have been ME (like I said, my impersonators are many and they aren't nice to me...) please don't ask ME for $. Ask my "hackers." They stole most of it, they know it, aren't they proud of themselves... Well. That was mu CONSISE biography... LOL. CreditsHave you worked with JustAGirl?

text: Dual-Headed MRI Machine Allows for Cuddling During ScansFerris Jabr - NewScientist1/27/11 9:20pmFiled to: HealthDual headed brain scannerBrainBrainsMriRepublished17EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Right now, getting an MRI scan means you have be still—and alone—in a gigantic machine. Thanks to some clever researchers though, future fMRI scanners might be double-headed—meaning that you can bring a buddy for simultaneous, cuddle-filled brain scans. Advertisement Two heads are better than one—particularly if you're studying the brain activity underlying social interaction. The problem is that imaging technologies such as MRI have only been able to handle one brain at a time - until now. Ray Lee at Princeton University has developed the world's first dual-headed fMRI scanner. The innovation allows the simultaneous imaging of the brain activity of two people lying in the same scanner.Usually, a lone person lies inside a scanner's narrow tunnel, cocooned by powerful magnets and radio-frequency coils which detect how hydrogen atoms in the body respond to magnetic fields, or how the flow of oxygenated blood changes as a result of brain activity. Although it is possible to squeeze two adults into most MRI machines - Willibrord Weijmar Schultz at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands famously scanned the bodies of couples as they copulated inside an MRI—attempting to scan both their brains at once would produce too fuzzy an image. Advertisement So Lee designed a pair of coils that fits into a scanner, providing two distinct loops in which to place each participant's head (see picture). He also fitted a window between the coils so participants can see one another. "This opens up a new area of MRI," says Lucien Levy, head of neuro-radiology at George Washington University Medical Center in Washington DC. "I haven't seen anything like this."To test the scanner, Lee asked couples to lie facing one another and blink in unison. Brain activity in the fusiform gyrus - involved in facial recognition - was tightly correlated. Lee also asked couples to repeatedly embrace and release one another, and observed similarly synchronised brain activity. He announced his results in November 2010 at the Society for Neuroscience conference in San Diego, California."In close proximity, people tend to mimic each other in all kinds of ways, especially through non-verbal signals," says Marco Iacoboni at the University of California, Los Angeles. "Now we can examine brain activity of an intimate pair copying each other in real time. That hasn't been done before." Sponsored James Coan at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville is also eager to test the device: "People distribute neural processing across multiple brains when solving problems," he says. "You essentially contract out part of a given problem to someone else's mind. Lee's work would give us the opportunity to see two brains reacting to a problem simultaneously."Jesse Rissman at Stanford University in California says it remains unclear just how advantageous scanning people in the same machine will be compared with scanning people in different machines who are linked by video. He points out that if people move around too much inside a scanner, they disrupt the signal, so interactions may be limited to small gestures. Advertisement But Coan stresses the potency of even minor actions: "Couples could hold each other or rub each other's back," he says, "and simply having another human face inches from their own is a very powerful stimulus. With a little creativity, the sky's the limit for figuring out how brains respond to each other."Image: Ray F.

Frank Ocean - 'Nikes' from DoBeDo Productions on Vimeo.
in mood and verse Frank Ocean takes us on a soulful psychedelic ride filled with monstrous pain and passion. 'Nikes' is a trip designed to mesmerize you. Frank and provocative lyrics wrapped in swaggarific swirl of sound and complemented by arousing imagery, are all designed to seduce you. And a seduction it is. The verse gives way to the performers attempt to pull you away from your love with a promise of a night to remember. Yeah… you'll remember it if you give in. Yeah.
Giving credit where credit is due. DoBeDo Productions produced this psychedelic mini-movie which was directed by Tyrone Lebon. Director of Photography - Adré Chemtoff and edited by Adam Biskupski. VFX by Electric Theatre Creative. 'Nikes' by Frank Ocean is the first single off his new album, 'Blonde.'
In an age of immediacy the idea of waiting sounds hopelessly outdated. But that said, there is something to be said about anticipation...
Maxwell has artfully managed to transfix music lovers for more than two decades, releasing 4 studio albums, all in his own time - all duly anointed as classics. Now, the Brooklyn-born soul legend returns with his 5th album, BlackSUMMERS'night, the long-awaited second installment of his trailblazing trilogy, a powerful reminder that great music really is about more than moving the twitter needle.
The first single, the stunning "Lake By The Ocean" kick-crosses diced-up drum grooves to the singer's undulating sensuality. His legendary vocal nuances are even richer now, commanding our attention with less on blackSUMMERS'night, seductively shifting intonation and meaning as he reaches for more than just a reprise on the sequel; a master fully in charge of his instrument.
Maxwell's Lake by the Ocean is available on ITUNES, Spotify, Amazon and Google Play.

Often, we hear of conversations of inspiration with sistas about the Garden. Photographers are inspired by a sista's presence and/or she is curious and inspired by the images in Pangea and this leads to discussions creating captures of afrosensual glamour, possibly as earthSistas. It takes a level of boldness to step in front of the camera, baring your natural beauty for the world to see. And such an action is not for everyone. But every woman should have the opportunity to explore her inner diva. Thirty Minutes in the Garden is a way to do that from an afrosensual perspective. CLICK on the images below to see sistas who already have and ask yourself: Would you want spend thirty minutes in the Garden?

Just got some thoughts i want to share about audio sources. I have got my computer, iphone, and finally heard a couple of amps.
First off the computer is an awful source with its built in headphone amplifier/dac. Very little bass, and the bass that might exist seem to be unaccurate and underpowered (but i guess this depends on what you plug in to the computer. For instance i use only 16 ohms IEM's). The middles aren't good either, and they sound un-musical and boring, and for the treble its just a pain. Just want to mention, that my motherboard is new, and it isn't cheap (120 dollars or so). Static noice is present here.
My iPhone seems to be a more capable source, and its quite neutral. Not good, nor bad, except the bass that doesn't seem to be very controlled, and kind of dull. Also static noice is present.
Going to the amps. you get an overall more musical experience, with more fullness and accuracy to the sound, and it just seems more musical in every way. The result is, that the earphone seems to be full and not underpowered. But ofc all this does vary depending on which amp you use, of course. The static noise may also vary, but it is less in general
Just wanted to say, that this is what i think of the different sources that i have tried/use.
You can put it like this: My iphone is a considerable opgrade from my pc, and an amp is a considerable upgrade over the iphone.
Definitely worth the money to get an amp, if you have got some decent ear-/headphones and are considering to spend more money on audio in the future.

Oh Henry!
'Henry Eilers' Rudbeckia
It gets about 4ft tall, and 2 ft wide.
It loves the sun.
It doesn't mind a bit of neglect (I can provide that).
It also does pretty well as a cut flower.
I have pulled some of the fading summer annuals in anticipation of planting fall pansies, and some hardy plumbago.
This little (big) guy caught my eye and will be good towards the middle of the bed where I need some more height and definitely more fall interest.

I Want Fall
- I'm ordering and stocking and displaying fall plants of every kind.
- I'm receiving and displaying Fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving merchandise in the gift area.
- We are starting to see more reddish peppers in the green pepper bushels in the produce area.
- Concord Grapes are in!
Sneak Peek Mukdenia 'Crimson Curls'
Also I'm getting in a lot of 'Sneak Peaks'. 'What is that?' you say? They are new varieties and new colors of sample plants nurseries start to see if they want to grow them for next year. A few of my growers plant extra to sell, and therefore get reactions from retailers and consumers on how those selections might go over for next year.
Above is one of these 'Sneak Peeks', it is Mukdenia 'Crimson Curls'. It is a shade perennial ground cover. It likes to be kept moist. Its color starts out green and then goes into a bronze red on the edges as summer progresses. It gets a white flower in spring, and grows to a height of 12-16 inches.
Chrysanthemums, another none mistakable sign of Fall. I know a lot of people gripe about not liking mums. I don't get it. It seems if its a plant readily available, easy to grow, and fairly expensive it gets labeled as commercial and over done and therefore undesirable. Hey, mums are gorgeous, easy to care for, inexpensive, and come in a boatload of colors...whats not to love?

Your local time: Jun 5, 2014 - Jun 14, 2014
Elkmont, Tennessee local time: Jun 5, 2014 - Jun 5, 2014
Photinus carolinusis a species of rover firefly whose mating displays of synchronous flashing have fascinated both scientists and tourists. As individual males synchronize with males nearby, waves of alternating bright light and darkness seem to travel across the landscape. Firefly displays typically occur in early June near Elkmont, Tennessee in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
A typical Photinus is a "lightning-bug firefly" (as opposed to the so-called "glowworm firefly") because it emits light in its winged (imago) stage. Both male and female adults produce mating signals with an abdominal light organ or "lantern". Members of Photinus are called "rover fireflies" because typically males fly about singly, not in groups, flashing a species-specific pattern until a receptive female responds with her species-specific flashing signal.
P. carolinus was the first North American species found to show synchronized flashing behavior. Synchronized flashing by male fireflies is common in South Asia, where huge aggregates of males perch on specific trees to create a bright display of flashing. The synchronized flashing of P. carolinus males occurs in aggregates of flying fireflies.
The timing of flashing depends somewhat on temperature, but the flash pattern of a male P. carolinus is typically four to eight very bright flashes emitted over two to four seconds, followed by a dark period of eight to 12 seconds. The female reply is much less bright, a pulsed signal during the dark period of the male. Scientists have suggested one reason for the synchronized flashing is to create a synchronized dark period, during which males can search for female responses without being distracted by signals from other males.
When males of P. carolinus detect a female response, a cluster of males will form surrounding the female, with as many as 20 males energetically walking, flashing, and attempting to mount the female or nearby males. The female does not necessarily mate with the first male to reach her, but may show avoidance behaviors to several males before permitting one to begin copulation. In the early stages of copulation, other males may try to separate the couple, but once the mating pair has moved to stage 2 copulation (tail-to-tail), the unmated males fly off to seek females elsewhere.
One of its small population ranges is Elkmont, Tennessee. The species is also found elsewhere in the Smoky Mountains, usually at elevations near 2,000 feet, and has been observed as far north as Pennsylvania. They are also found in parts of Southeast Asia, such as Malaysia.
Increasing numbers of people come each year to the small trailhead near Elkmont to see them. Scientists use a "degree-day" model to try to predict the onset of each year's maximum display.
Driving and parking near Great Smoky Mountains National Park are strictly regulated during the two-week P. carolinus mating season. Would-be visitors are required to park at the Sugarlands Visitor Center and wait for a trolley to take them to the viewing site. On weekends there may be a four-hour wait for transportation.
The firefly display near Elkmont attracted more than a thousand visitors nightly in early June 2011. A biologist who has studied the fireflies expressed concern about increased crowds at the park, saying, "The bulk of people are respectful ... But the total number of people is obscene."
Light Show EtiquetteFlashlights disrupt the fireflies and impair people's night vision. The light show is best when you:
You can also help protect the fireflies and their habitat:
All visitors wishing to see the fireflies during this time period will need to make advance reservations for a parking pass at www.recreation.gov.Parking pass sales began on April 29 and all Advance and Large Vehicle parking passes were sold out by the end of the day. An additional 85 Day Before parking passes will go on sale at 10 a.m. the day before each of the eight days of the event (i.e. passes for June 6 will go on sale at 10 a.m. on June 5.) If you wish to attend the event in 2013, please check back on those dates.
Because of the popularity of the synchronous firefly display, access to the Elkmont area is restricted after 5 p.m. in late May and early June to registered campers and those who park at the Sugarlands Visitor Center and ride a special shuttle trolley to Elkmont. Access to the Sugarlands parking lot and to the trolley during this period requires a parking pass, which must be obtained in advance through www.recreation.gov
Like many seasonal events in nature, the timing of the display of synchronized fireflies is influenced by environmental conditions and is impossible to accurately predict in advance.

sym·bol·ism (n.)
1. The practice of representing things by means of symbols or of attributing symbolic meanings or significance to objects, events, or relationships.
An understanding of symbolism is a critical part of graphic design. Designers use symbols in both obvious and subtle ways to communicate something about the design. Symbolism is a profound, complex subject so in this post I will present an overview of what I consider to be the most important for designers to be aware of in terms of symbolism.
Symbols exist everywhere and we 'read' them without even realizing it. For example, we all know the red octagon symbol for "stop" and respond to it even if the words are not there. If we used the stop symbol and put the words "go" on it instead, the majority would stop anyway and the rest would be confused. Why? because the symbol is more powerful than the words.
Another common symbol for "stop" is the circle with the line through it. The meaning is slightly different than the octagon but in both symbols the color red is used because in signage red has become symbolic with: stop, warning, danger, error, prohibited — red is the first color the eye perceives and therefore the best choice for these uses.
Symbolism of Color (source adapted)
Color in World Culture
Color means many different things to different people and cultures. Color also represents feelings, people, countries, cultures, and color symbolism. Color can be personal to each individual but as designers, we consider the how color is generally represented in the particular culture we are targeting. In the western world, for example, the color red symbolizes many things: depending on context. In addition to the meanings as listed above, red is frequently used to symbolize anger, aggression or intense passion. Some car insurance companies even charge more for red cars because studies show that the owners of red cars are more aggressive drivers and take more risks.
Symbolism of Color: Using Color for Meaning
The color black represents the lack of, emptiness, night, death and even the negative or evil. The color black is used in funerals because a funeral is the mourning of loss or lack of a person and the emptiness one feels after they are gone.
The color white symbolizes purity, life and new beginnings like the break of dawn. This is why you see the color white in weddings and angels are dressed in white gowns.
However, color symbolizes different things in different parts of the world.
Color Symbolism in the Western world:
Color Symbolism in the Eastern World:
Color is only a part of symbolism of course, the other part is shape/form. Some common shapes and their symbolism in western culture are:
There are many many more to consider of course. Here are some resources I can recommend to explore the meanngs of different symbols:
One of the most controversial symbols in modern history is the swastika. The Swastika has been a symbol of peace for millions of Hindus, Buddhists and also Raelians since it is their symbol of infinity in time, their symbol of eternity. But when Hitler adopted the swastika as his symbol for the Nazi party, he changed the meaning worldwide to be associated with hate, atrocities and oppression.
So through the use of a symbol in a design and then promoting it, the meaning of a symbol can be created or changed. That is the power of advertising.
A crossed red ribbon was adopted as the symbol for anyone supporting AIDS research and now is recognized worldwide. The crossed ribbon is a powerful symbol that represents supporting a cause. Other examples are: yellow ribbon for troops in a war, a pink ribbon for breast cancer.
Symbolism can also play a subconscious role in design. If you look at the FedEx, logo for example, at first glance it seems very simple, just type in two different colors. But look closer at the white space, or counter-form, between the E and the X. It is an arrow pointing to the right. Since we read from left to right, pointing right signifies moving forward and an arrow is speed. Then add the color symbolism of orange which can mean caution. The underlying message is that FedEx will deliver your packages quickly and carefully.
I welcome any other examples anyone would like to share. There are many.
An awareness of the symbolism associated with what you are designing is not only valuable but necessary. Designing without an understanding of symbolism is like having blindfold on, unaware of how your design may be perceived.
There is hopeful symbolism in the fact that flags do not wave in a vacuum. — Arthur C. Clarke
Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors. — Jim Morrison

A woman was reported in critical condition after being hit by a vehicle Saturday afternoon.
Las Vegas police said they received a call that a pedestrian was struck around Bonanza and Mojave roads about 2:20 p.m.
Witnesses indicated the 23-year-old woman was attempting to cross Bonanza outside of a crosswalk.
A 2004 Ford F-150 traveling east on Bonanza hit the pedestrian when she entered the two-way center turn lane.
She was taken to University Medical Center, where police erroneously said she died. But at 9 p.m., police indicated she was still alive and in critical condition.
A police lieutenant originally reported the crash as a hit-and-run, but the vehicle that hit the 28-year-old woman was discovered nearby when it was involved in another wreck on Bonanza near Pecos Road.
The 68-year-old man driving the Ford was sent to Valley Hospital Medical Center.
Police were still investigating the incident, but early reports suggested the driver had a medical episode.
Bonanza was closed to traffic in both directions west of Mojave.

As Henrik Zetterberg was flying home from Sochi, Russia, in February, a fellow NHL Olympian rushed to help him.
Zetterberg, who was scheduled to have surgery within days, was hauling a bag when he was approached by Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara.
"Chara is the guy who helped me with my bag from the Olympics," Zetterberg said Tuesday. "He's a part of this rehab.
"When we flew home from the Olympics, I was walking out and I had a backpack with me. He said, 'No, you're not carrying that.' And he carried it for me."
MORE: Eastern Conference preview
Zetterberg will be watching when his Detroit Red Wings renew acquaintances with Chara and his Bruins in Game 1 of the first-round series Friday, still sidelined from back surgery. Zetterberg skated with fellow injured teammates Daniel Cleary and Mikael Samuelsson Tuesday, the third day that Zetterberg has skated, but he opted against a planned practice, postponing it till Thursday.
"Up till now, everything went well," Zetterberg said. "Each phase of my rehab has been good. On Thursday, I'll skate a little bit with the team and see what progress there. So far, the back feels good."
MORE: Western Conference preview
Zetterberg reiterated what has been said since he had surgery on Feb. 21: He isn't likely to play again unless there is a second round for the Red Wings.
"We were shooting for round two, and that's still the plan," he said.
The Red Wings had the same lines in practice as last week, with Pavel Datsyuk centering Justin Abdelkader and Johan Franzen, Riley Sheahan centering Tomas Tatar and Gustav Nyquist, Darren Helm centering Tomas Jurco and Daniel Alfredsson, and Luke Glendening with Drew Miller and David Legwand.

The speed that the Red Wings have on every line is part of why Zetterberg has confidence that they can beat a team as good as Boston.
"It's a good team," he said. "They have really good depth, good goaltending, but it's been good games when we've played them during the regular season. We have to play well and we have to play structured and we have to have good defense. If we have that, and good special teams, we can do some damage."

text: You Are There: Catching A Home Run BallBarry Petchesky5/02/10 6:30pmFiled to: Duan!Ballhawks53EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink If you're like me, you've never caught a ball (fair or foul), but always wondered what it felt like. Well, this amazing video is probably the closest we're going to get.AdvertisementYouTube user "dodgerfilms" seems to have found the sweet spot, somewhere in the first row of the bleachers in left-center at Dodger Stadium, judging from his numerous videos of snagging batting practice balls. But this one, from yesterday's game, appears to be the first one that really counts.Again speaking on behalf of everyone who's never caught a home run, good on the cameraman for not giving in to peer pressure to throw the ball back. Who cares if a Pirate hit the home run? Those things are fucking valuable! Not in any sense that implies, you know, currency or objective worth, but still valuable.AdvertisementStill though: you're over 13 and bringing a glove to a game? Maybe you shouldn't have made this video public.•••••I've received word from Daulerio that he's "still up," so we should have a full house tomorrow, though please hold off on the bright lights and loud noises.Reply53 repliesLeave a reply

fntproof – A programmable font test pattern generator
The package implements all the font testing commands of Knuth's testfont.tex, but arranges that information necessary for each command is supplied as arguments to that command, rather than prompted for. This makes it possible to type all the tests in one command line, and easy to input the package in a file and to use the commands there. A few additional commands supporting this last purpose are also made available.

Following the recent public release of Adobe Camera Raw 7.4, we've updated our studio comparison database with new raw conversions of files from the Fujifilm X-Pro 1, X-E1 and X100S. We've been using the release candidate version of ACR 7.4 for some time, which contained significant improvements to Adobe's treatment of files from Fujifilm's X-Trans sensors. The official public release version of ACR 7.4 brings some further (very minor) tweaks.
Follow the links below to the studio comparison pages in our X-Pro 1 and X-E1 reviews, and X100S preview, now with final ACR 7.4 raw conversions.
Studio scene comparison (Raw)
For a (more) level playing field for comparison we also shot our studio scene in Raw mode with each camera and converted it using Adobe Camera Raw. Because Adobe Camera Raw applies different levels of sharpening to different cameras (this confirmed) we use the following workflow for these conversions:
- Load Raw file into Adobe Camera Raw (Auto mode disabled)
- Set Sharpness to 0 (all other settings default)
- Open file to Photoshop
- Apply a Unsharp mask: 100%, Radius 0.6, Threshold 0
- Save as a JPEG quality 11 for display and download.

Spurs star hails young defender after Manchester United performance
PUBLISHED: 10:25 03 October 2012
EMPICS Sport
Tottenham defender William Gallas hailed his centre-back partner Steven Caulker after the pair helped Spurs to a win over Manchester United.
The 20-year-old is in his first season in the first team at White Hart Lane and his work has not gone un-noticed by the Frenchman.
"I'm sure he'll be one of the best in England if he works hard," said Gallas, quoted in the Daily Star.
"He did well against United and what I like is that he listens.
"He is focused. He is not afraid to play football or to go forward and that is fantastic for him."

Bruno Mars, the R&B singer who gained fame in 2010 and won a Grammy for his singing that year on "Just the Way You Are," is expected to sing at the Super Bowl half-time show next year, his manager said on Saturday.
The singer is set to be named as a performer in the coveted half-time spot during Super Bowl XLVIII next year in East Rutherford, New Jersey, his manager, John Marx, said in an email. An official announcement of the 26-year-old Mars' selection was scheduled for Sunday, said Marx, who did not say whether Mars would be joined by other entertainment acts.
The annual NFL championship draws millions of viewers every year. For many, it has come to be defined as much by its half-time shows and attention grabbing television commercials as for the game itself.
Beyonce's performance with her former girl group Destiny's Child was watched by more than 100 million people at the Super Bowl half-time show in New Orleans in February.
Past Super Bowl performers have included Madonna, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Prince, Paul McCartney and U2.
The Hawaiian-born Mars' album "Unorthodox Jukebox," which included the hit song "Locked Out of Heaven," came out in December 2012 as the follow-up to his debut 2010 album "Doo-Wops & Hooligans." That release won Mars widespread fame and earned him a Grammy that year for best male pop vocals.
Next year's Super Bowl game will take place on Feb. 2. A spokesman for the National Football League declined to comment on Mars' participation in the half-time show.

Choice deferral and ambiguity aversion
When confronted with uncertain prospects, people often exhibit both choice deferral and Ellsberg-type ambiguity aversion. This paper obtains a joint representation for these behavioral phenomena. The decision maker as portrayed by my model is willing to choose an uncertain prospect f over g rather than to defer this choice if and only if the expected utility of f is greater that or equal to the expected utility of g for every probability measure in a convex and closed set Delta. This set is interpreted as a collection of the decision maker's possible future beliefs. When choices cannot be deferred, the decision maker evaluates every uncertain prospect via an epsilon-mixture of the least favorable element in the set Delta and her current probabilistic belief p in Delta. All components of my model are derived from observable preferences in an essentially unique way.

ANN ARBOR -- Michigan football coach Brady Hoke announced today that tailback Fitzgerald Toussaint and defensive end Frank Clark will rejoin the Wolverines for practices on Monday.
Toussaint and Clark were suspended indefinitely, Toussaint after a drunk-driving charge last month and Clark after he was charged in June for second-degree home invasion. Hoke did not say if he made a decision regarding their availability for the season opener Sept. 1 against Alabama in Arlington, Texas.
Hoke said receiver Roy Roundtree underwent arthoscopic knee surgery last week and is expected to resume practicing in two weeks. Hoke also confirmed the departure of sophomore defensive back Tamani Carter.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Billionaire financier Tom Steyer is spending $50+ million of his money this election season to oppose the use of fuels, which he equates to an heroin addiction.
Refreshingly, Steyer has called for open debate on fossil fuels and their impact on climate--which is one of the most important issues this country, and the world, faces. And he has offered to participate in a public debate himself, which takes courage.
Or does it? I'm not sure Steyer actually wants a debate, because he keeps challenging non-debaters who have every reason not to debate him. First he challenged Russ Girling, the CEO of (creator of the Keystone XL project), whom Steyer's organization, Generation, has publicly smeared. Then he challenged the notoriously reclusive Koch Brothers, whom Next Generation has also publicly smeared.
Selecting highly-unlikely debating partners has enabled Steyer to claim that the opposition is afraid to debate him (see this Crickets video).
But I agree with Steyer. We need a debate over fossil fuels and climate.
Being perhaps the most experienced debater on this issue--I have debated Steyer's climate mentor, Bill McKibben, as well as representatives of the Sierra Club and Greenpeace--I decided to offer my services to Steyer at one of his favorite hangouts: .
Steyer didn't respond. But he has continued to post what I regard as very ill-informed statements about fossil fuels. I decided to try a different tack: rather than debate him, I'd try to convince him in advance, by offering him an early copy of my book, The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, which comes out in November. If he read it and still disagreed with me, we'd debate.
Still, no response.
