Foretelling the Future
Plus, a glimpse into the future from the past.
A hundred years ago, someone tried to see the world through a seer's eyes.
He or she predict-ed travel through air, Christmas gifts delivered by airship drivers and city dwellers driven into apartment buildings that grow bigger and taller until they are skyscrapers by the year 2009.
These and other predictions—printed on page A9—were made a century ago and published in The Times.To carry on a foretelling of the future, Gothenburg High School students were asked what they foresaw in for the holidays in 2109.
Here are a few predictions.
I think that in 100 years from now that Christmas won't be that different. People will still spend time with their family and open presents, but the presents will be so much better!
Women will not have to cook for days to make one simple meal, they can just punch what they want into a computer and it will be made instantly.
People will not have to worry about traveling on icy roads, because eventually global warming will make it so there is no more snow. So, little kids will make sandmen instead of snowmen, and you can walk around in shorts and flip-flops instead of being so cold.
Christmas will never change its basic philosophy of give and be merry, but things that we give and how we give them will change.
Every day the world around us changes ever so slightly, whether it's the way we practice our daily routines or how we travel, but every transformation hints at how the future may be.
Presents today are usually an iPod or some marvelous new video game with the villain being slain by the people's hero, but what about our coming generations? What will they desire? Some may say a brand new, shiny, flying car—perhaps they're right.
I believe that the kids in 2109 will have a much different taste in presents. The iPods of today will most definitely be replaced, but by what no one knows.
I think Christmas in a hundred years will be exactly the same as it always has been. Christmas is about family and giving, and honestly, in the future do you think anything like that will change?
Of course, some things can obviously change, such as the way we get to grandma or grandpa's house to celebrate. Who knows, maybe we will be flying by then or connected by tubes that go throughout the city and drop you off at your destination.
The image of the jolly old fat man who drops down your chimney will probably not change at all. There will still be the same old reindeer and the same old sleigh, but the spirit of Christmas is never changing.
Christmas to me will always be the same, because it is about good tidings and being with your entire family, and just having the closeness that comes every year about this time.
I think Christmas in a hundred years will be different in some ways, like they will not have the same boring toys as we do now, and that they will probably have jet packs and flying cars.
Santa won't be driving a deer-driven sleigh, it will be a turbo-powered jet sleigh with death ray guns on it to protect him from snow balls.
I think that kids and adults everywhere will still consider Christmas the best holiday.
I'm pretty sure that during Christmas in 2109, people will have forgotten about Christmas.
Well, there will still be gift giving and all that business, but there will be no Christ in Christmas—the true meaning of Christmas will be long forgotten with the exponential growth in technology. Technology will soon erase all human customs if war doesn't.
These are my beliefs on Christmas, 100 revolutions around the sun later.
Christmas 100 years from now will be a lot different than it is today. We will have robots that will make and serve us food and clean up everything.
We will give gifts that are 10 times more advanced than what we have now.
I believe we will still have some of the same traditions that we have today, but the things we will do might be a little different. People will probably be able to buy things with wireless head sets or computers in their glasses, and then have the item shipped in one minute.
Many kids will still probably believe in Santa!
I think Christmas in 2109 will be different. Children will be receiving computers and robots for gifts. Parents will be buying them through the Internet and the gifts will be sent within one or two days. The shopping will be done on Black Friday as usual, but many stores will be open even earlier so that they sell all of the stuff faster.
Santa will be the same Jolly 'Ol Saint Nick he has always been. Dressed up in his white and red suit with his long white beard and big cookie belly. The night before Christmas children will leave cookies out for him with milk beside so that he may have his treat. Families will feast and open gifts on Christmas Day.
I do not think Christmas will change dramatically, because everybody loves Christmas!
Christmas in 2109 will be quite different than it is today. For instance, many kids will expect more presents than they get today.
Families will still get together no matter what the distance. The Christmas spirit will still be alive, but not as much as it is today.
With technology advancing every day, people won't have to go to a store to buy presents.
They will just order off of a computer and have it shipped to them. Gift wrapping will probably be done by a robot who will wrap the gifts quickly and better than what we do today.
Santa Claus will still visit kids, but will he still like milk and cookies? He will bring them huge presents that will barely fit down the chimney. The lights and Christmas music played downtown will still be there, but it will be more than what we have today.

AuD Grad/PhD Student Awarded NIH Fellowship
Dr. Sara Mamo, a 2008 graduate of the AuD program and a current PhD student in the Division of Speech and Hearing Sciences, has been awarded an F32 postdoctoral fellowship by the National Institutes of Health.
Her research, titled "Electrophysiological and Psychophysical Measures of Auditory Temporal Processing," will be conducted in the lab of Dr. John Grose, Department of Otolaryngology, under his mentorship.
Mamo's research project will focus on temporal processing of speech and other complex sounds in young and older adults with normal hearing. Many older adults have increased difficulty understanding speech in noisy backgrounds, independently of hearing loss, and age-related deficits in temporal processing have been associated with poorer performance on speech perception measures in older adults. This project combines objective and subjective measures of temporal processing to try and understand the underlying neural mechanisms that contribute to speech perception difficulties in older adults.

I'm using firefox from more than 2 months. I have nothing to complain, but I would like to ask something what is strange for me.
When I click update I download the update and start installing it. When I'm ready I go to add/remove programs and I see that there is staying the old version and the new one. Why the update don't uninstall the old version. Does anyone knows? Is that normal?

I made a wind deflector for my wipers. Ok actually i took my old fish-tank lid and strapped it to my car.
It looks like it should be pretty aerodynamic compared to the wipers sticking up catching wind, but i don't have a wind tunnel so..
It's a piece of coroplast with steel wire fed thru it, then hooked into my car and closed in the hood gasket. Been on my car for a few days and I've tested it up to 75mph with wipers on high.

Hey guys, a wow GM has changed my name a few times recently, from Bumbandit to Thebumbandit and back to Bumbandit when I ticketed them asked them to stop flagging my account. However, while I was Thebumbandit I got a few very high ranking logs that aren't showing up on my wow heros page now because my toon is now named Bumbandit.

Pressly's complaint: Where are the women?
We wonder what Nashua's appointed boards would look like if Alderman-at-large Barbara Pressly had full authority to choose all members. No doubt there would be more women, as Pressly has made a point of complaining that the boards have too few women. Or would there be?
"The balance of these boards is not reflective of the community," Pressly said last week upon the appointment of six new board members, five of whom were men.
Mayor Donnalee Lozeau noted in response, "I don't think there have ever been an equal amount of women compared to men (on city boards). But I am definitely not discriminating. I can't think of any women that I have turned down."
Lozeau, of course, is a woman, which makes this whole issue rather amusing. How dare she discriminate against women!
If there were evidence of discrimination, Pressly's complaint would have more weight. But the evidence is that women simply are not applying for the positions. What is a mayor to do about that? And why?
Keep in mind that the current board composition is a snapshot in time. The percentage of women or minorities applying to and being selected for various positions ebbs and flows. Is there an issue to be addressed here? Maybe, but the ratios alone don't necessarily say that.
Inclusion is a worthy goal. It is not, however, the only goal, or the primary one. Sure, encourage more women to volunteer. But don't make the mistake of thinking that any subgroup will or should have its population percentage precisely reflected in public bodies, either elected or appointed. Freedom never produces such neat results.

Chris Brown: 'I'm Forgiven' After Assaulting Rihanna
In a new interview, Chris says he 'worked hard' to earn RiRi's forgiveness.
Are Chris Brown and Rihanna more in love than ever? It certainly sounds like it, the way Chris talks about RiRi in a new interview with The UK's Mirror. In fact, he even says he's "forgiven" for savagely assaulting her on the evening of the 2009 Grammy Awards — though it didn't happen overnight.
"She loves me, what can I say?" he told the publication Feb. 24 at Elton John's annual Oscars viewing party in Hollywood. "I'm forgiven … but, yes, I worked hard for it."
He also referred to the assault as the "greatest regret" of his life.
The fact that Chris managed to be so cheerful that night — despite Seth MacFarlane totally dissing Chris and Rihanna's relationship during the actual Oscars ceremony — proves that Chris really has arrived at a much better place in his life. The more he speaks openly about what happened, the more people will be willing to accept that he's changed.
Chris Brown & Rihanna: Back Together And 'Really Happy'
But The Mirror wasn't the only publication Chris sang RiRi's praises to.
"We are really happy," he told Page Six. "We are back together. She is the most beautiful girl in the world. But I'm sad she couldn't be here tonight; she is rehearsing for her tour."
And Chris has been rehabilitating his image with the help of an unlikely ally: Elton, himself!
"I met Elton about a year ago, and he's been a good friend to me … so it is great to be here tonight to support him," he added.

Diet to Improve Blood Counts
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My platelet and white blood counts are low and my chemo is being held until they improve. Is there anything I can eat or take (vitamins or supplements) to help increase them?
Karen Wagner MS, RD, LDN, Clinical dietitian specialist for the Abramson Cancer Center, responds:
This is a question that I get asked quite frequently and unfortunately, the short answer is no. The best thing to do for yourself is to stay well hydrated, eat a variety of foods and make sure you are getting enough protein. Most people on chemotherapy need between 70-90 grams of protein per day. If it is difficult for you to get a variety of foods, you may consider taking a �One-a Day� type of multivitamin to make sure your body is getting the vitamins it needs to make new cells. If high protein foods, such as meat, chicken, dairy, beans, nuts, or fish are difficult for you to take in, you may consider a protein supplement like a yogurt smoothie, Ensure or Boost or Carnation Instant Breakfast to help meet your protein needs.
Please talk to your doctor or dietitian about taking any herbal or vitamin supplements for low platelet count or any other issue. Many of the most common supplements, including omega-threes and St. John�s Wort, actually interfere with the way platelets work.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series, Exercise, Nutrition and Cancer Webchat. View the entire transcript here.

For those of you who don't know, Guiliana Alexis is one of the finest Latina teens EVER on Reality Kings. This girl 100% bad. From the top of her head to the heels of her feet, Guiliana is pure sexiness. So anytime she appears in a new Reality Kings video, it's a HUGE deal for us as adoring fans. This time around, Guiliana Alexis graced the site Pure18 in an episode called, Busted. Turns out she's a naughty girl that like to watch porn and masturbate to big cocks. Well during her searches, she came across one of her Dad's old friends, Preston. Turned out that same day, he dropped by looking for her Dad who was away for the weekend. Guiliana saw her chance, invited him in, and seduced him. Preston was in Latina teen heaven. Guiliana gave him an amazing blow job then rode his cock like only a true freak can. Preston made sure to drill that hot pussy and leave a load of cum on her pretty face.
This week on Pure 18, we had a teen dream named Alice March. This little hottie was waiting to get picked up by her brother, but he couldn't make it, so he sent his buddy instead. Juan drove up and scooped Alice. She looked so happy, he couldn't believe it. Alice was really nervous and talking a lot. He thought it was odd until she asked him to come into the house when he dropped her off. She told him she'd always had a crush on him and that she was 18 now, so her pussy was fair game.
Juan liked the straight talk and went into the house with her. He told her how he though his girlfriend had been cheating on him. Alice helped him get back at her. She started rubbing his cock, and he sucked her tits and pussy. She returned the favor by stuffing his cock into her mouth and sucking on it. Juan drilled that teen pussy deep and hard. Alice loved it and had her first orgasm from sex. She also experienced another sexual "fist time" when Juan pulled out and busted his cum load all over her face.
When it comes to ideal pupils, Lara is our girl. This hot teen was doing her regular weekend studying with her tutor when her parents decided they were going to leave for an afternoon of strolling. They thought she was old enough now to take responsibility for her studying since she was 18-years-old. Little did they know that Lara was feeling freaky and had been waiting for this day a long time now. She was no dummy and had noticed her tutor's cock print through his pants several times. She'd had guys in school, but they were all very average in size.
When Lara knew they were alone, she reached down and started rubbing his cock. He knew she was eighteen, so he just went with it.No time time, his huge cock was out and half way down her throat. Lara loved sucking on a dick that was so big it barely fit in her mouth. But she loved taking that dick even more. It was so big, she came so many times. When her tutor was done, he gave her a facial to let her know she was a big girl now.
This week on Pure 18, we had the smoking hot blond teen star Amanda Tate. She was looking as good as ever with her slim and curvy smoking bod. This super cute teen may be 18, but she can work that pussy with the skills of a seasoned MILF. When her sister's BF showed up randomly to the house, Amanda told him she wasn't there. She texted her sister to let her know, but in the interim, she flirted with Tyler and showed off her sexy outfit to him. By the time her sister texted back for him to return later, it was too late. All the cues had been given, and Tyler was headed to Amanda's room so he could "see" what she wanted to show him.
Once in the rom, she showed him her smoking hot teen ass, stripped down and took his cock down her throat. After a good dick sucking, Tyler was ready to get to work on that teen pussy. He gave it a good stroking, as Amanda moaned out in ecstasy. But the real treat was watching her get on top and go wild on that cock. It proved to hot for Tyler to handle, so he just pulled out and busted his load all over her pretty face. He wanted to give her a dose of what it was like to mess around with older guys. She loved it and licked it up.

As a token of gratefulness, Kylee decided she'd get nude and show her instructor that sex teen body. Her tits were nice and perky, and she had a big juicy teen ass. And while her instructor felt awkward, Kylee could see he had a hard-on, so she pulled down his pants and started sucking his cock. He couldn't contain himself anymore, and he went balls deep into that wet teen pussy. Kylee moaned out, as he stroked her pussy until she came. Then her instructor pulled his cock and treated her like a big girl by cumming all over her face. Kylee smiled with that cute face of hers and liked it up.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Nothing was going to keep Eric and Faith DeVault from watching the Big 12 title game.
Not even their own wedding.
The young couple was married Saturday morning at their family's house in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, Kan., and the rabid Kansas fans just happened to receive two tickets to see the seventh-ranked Jayhawks play No. 11 Kansas State from their groomsmen.
With the game scheduled to tip a few hours later, they hurried right over to the Sprint Center — Eric still dressed in his black tuxedo with a Kansas tie and Faith still in her wedding dress, though she had wisely ditched her heels for a more comfortable pair of flats.
"I never dreamed of my wedding as a kid because I'm a guy," Eric said shortly before the start of the game, "but if I did, this would be it."
Eric grew up a Kansas fan and attended the school in nearby Lawrence, and said he converted his new wife, who grew up in San Diego and didn't really have any loyalties.
"He says that the 2008 (national) championship was the best day of his life," Faith said, before Eric chimed in: "Today is the second-best day. It might be the first if KU wins."
They got their wish: The Jayhawks beat the Wildcats 70-54 for the tournament title.
The DeVaults spent most of the game on their feet cheering, blending into the crowd about as much as a bride and groom in wedding garb possibly could.
But they nevertheless stood out, getting photos taken with former Kansas star Sherron Collins and the Jayhawks' mascot, Baby Jay.
They even showed up on the "Kiss Cam" during a timeout in the game.
The Big 12 sent a staff member up to their seats behind the Kansas bench to present them with a basketball, and Eric said he was hoping to snag an autograph on it from coach Bill Self.
"We had a poster that said, 'I do,' and it had a Jayhawk on it," Eric said, "but the Sprint Center (security) took it away."
The news of the couple's exploits filtered its way down to a jubilant Kansas locker room after the game, where senior forward Kevin Young called their allegiance "awesome."
"It means a lot being able to go out there and touch people's lives in different ways," he said. "There are not a lot of things in life that give you the opportunity to do that.
"It's not the first time I've seen that, actually. There was a couple taking pictures in our gym one time and I walked through on accident," Young said. "I am glad they chose to come see us. I am glad we were allowed to be a part of their life like that."


text: Student Profiles Lindsey Bruett '09 Lindsey Bruett '09 Hometown: Gladstone, New Jersey Major: Psychology; Minor: Visual Arts Why did you choose to come to Bowdoin? I looked at quite a few schools and realized pretty quickly that I wanted to go to a small liberal arts college in a relatively rural area. After visiting Bowdoin's campus, I had a great feeling about the school. For one, I loved Bowdoin's proximity to both ocean and mountains. More importantly, the professors and students whom I met seemed engaged and excited about what they were doing. I thought that Bowdoin's relaxed and open, yet hard-working atmosphere, would be perfect for me. And so far, it has been. Why did you choose your major? My first year, I originally thought that I wanted to major in English or visual arts and art history. But in the fall of my sophomore year I took Psychology 101 with Professor Louisa Slowiaczek and fell in love with the class and material. I loved learning about topics that I hadn't had the opportunity to study in high school such as cognition and development. Additionally, Professor Slowiaczek was incredibly captivating as a professor. She made a relatively large class (by Bowdoin standards) feel very intimate, and held lectures as if she was holding a conversation among friends. I decided to major in psychology after taking only one class, and I've been very happy with my decision. One of my favorite psychology courses was Infant and Child Development with Professor Suzanne Lovett, in which we had the opportunity to intern at the Bowdoin Children's Center every week during the semester. I loved going there on Friday mornings and getting to interact with toddlers while observing aspects of development that I had learned about in class first-hand. I have had a great experience with the department as a whole and have realized that I want to pursue a career in psychology. I decided to continue pursuing visual arts as a minor, which has given me the opportunity to take art classes almost every semester. While I don't intend to pursue art professionally, it has given me a creative outlet and a sense of balance in what I study. The department is incredibly open and welcoming to any student, whether they want to just try one class or become a major. What has been a course you especially enjoyed at Bowdoin? It's really hard to choose just one. I loved my First-Year Seminar, Making Faces of Portraiture, an art history class with Professor Linda Docherty. We looked at various types of portraiture while focusing on improving our writing and public speaking skills. Professor Docherty is an amazing professor and did such a good job drawing out each individual voice during discussions. We also had many opportunities to make use of Bowdoin's art collection, which really enhanced the course material. For our final paper and presentation, we each chose an original photograph from Bowdoin's collection, which we researched and focused on. I chose a photo of Max Ernst by Frederick Sommer. Being able to research and then present on a piece of art that I could hold in my hands was a unique experience. Lindsey worked on this mural installation as a part of Prof. Wethli's course. What professor or professors have especially inspired you during your time at Bowdoin? Again, it's hard to choose just a few. Mark Wethli, in the art department, has been incredibly encouraging and inspiring to me throughout the last three and a half years. I have taken several courses with him and also had the opportunity to work with him on a mural installation at a local elementary school, a project that stemmed out of his Public Art course. Professor Slowiaczek, my advisor in the psychology department, has also been a great mentor. She is one of the most patient professors I have ever had and always goes to great lengths to help each of her students learn. She definitely got me hooked on being a psychology major, and I will have taken four of her courses by the time I graduate. She is also an incredibly entertaining lecturer! Lindsey and the rest of the cast of The Vagina Monologues. What extracurricular or work experiences have you had at Bowdoin? Currently, I'm the president of the Inter-House Council, a Bowdoin Outing Club leader, a representative to the BSG (Bowdoin Student Government), a member of the Committee on Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention, and a member of V-Day, a national organization that works against sexual violence. I am also in this year's production of The Vagina Monologues, which I also participated in as a first-year. The Vagina Monologues is a play written by Eve Ensler and is performed all over the world each February to raise money to stop violence against women. It was such a great experience that I wanted to have the chance to do it again before graduation, and was so glad that I did. It was such a neat experience to be back on stage with some of the same women whom I had acted with four years ago, and be joined by "the next generation" of Bowdoin women who will continue to work to raise awareness about issues of violence against women on campus and beyond. Lindsey and other Quinby House members during 2006-2007. As a sophomore, I was also president of Quinby House, one of Bowdoin's College Houses. The College House system was put in place about eleven years ago, and is a terrific resource on campus. Each student is affiliated with one of eight houses, and many chose to live in their houses after their first year. Each house is given a budget for social, community, and academic programming, all of which is student-driven. Being involved with the College House system has been a defining part of my Bowdoin experience. Additionally, I life-guarded at Greason Pool during my first three years at Bowdoin, and now work for the psychology department, both as a study group facilitator for a Psychology 101 class and as a research assistant. Did you study abroad during your time at Bowdoin? I spent the fall of my junior year in Valparaíso, Chile, on SIT's Culture, Development, and Social Justice program. It was a fantastic experience. While I have taken several Spanish classes at Bowdoin, the material that I was learning about in Chile was unrelated to my major and minor. While that made it slightly more difficult to fit in all of my requirements, the experience was well worth it. Lindsey and a friend in Con Con, Chile, north of Valparaíso. The most powerful experience that I had while I was there was the week that I spent with an Aymaran family in the Andes. Learning their way of life and the issues they face caused me to challenge and reevaluate my own view of the world and my place in it. I have been able to bring some of my experiences back to Bowdoin in courses such as The Politics of Development with Professor Ericka Albaugh, and Gender and Secularism with Professor Kristen Ghodsee, which has made my semester away all the more relevant to my undergraduate education. What have you done during your summers? After my first year, I worked in Boston as an intern for the Youth Opportunities Program at the Appalachian Mountain Club. For the past two summers, I have done psychology research, first at the NYU Child Study Center, and more recently at Bowdoin. At NYU, I worked with a psychiatrist on a study on ADHD treatment. This past summer, I worked in Professor Lovett's lab with two other students. We worked on two different studies. One dealt with children's understanding of psychogenic reactions, and the other was on education. Having the opportunity to work closely with a faculty member was a phenomenal experience. Also, being able to spend the summer on campus in Maine with tons of other students around made it one of the best summers of my life. What is your best Bowdoin memory? The fall semester of my first year, I did Leadership Training (LT), which is the program that students go through to become Bowdoin Outing Club leaders. I grew incredibly close to the thirteen other students in my group as we spent many, many weekend days and nights exploring Maine's wilderness. I don't think I've ever laughed so much with another group of people. It was an incredible three months and a really defining experience for me at Bowdoin. Not only did I love spending time outside, but being part of LT really made me feel at home at Bowdoin from my first few weeks on campus. What are your plans for after graduation? I plan to continue with psychology research and hope to enter graduate school for clinical psychology within the next few years. What advice would you give to a prospective student or first-year about the Bowdoin experience? Get involved! Don't be afraid to try things that you haven't done before. Sign up for a bunch of clubs and see which ones you like. Apply for an Alternative Spring Break trip. (I went to New Mexico sophomore year to look at public health issues on the Navajo reservation and had an amazing time.) Get to know as many faculty and staff as you can. There are so many amazing things to do and people to get to know at Bowdoin. What quirky or fun thing do you wish you knew before you came to Bowdoin? Super Snacks! The dining hall serves snacks every weekend night from 10-1. It's a great place to go after a night out or just to take a break and hang out with friends.

In the early 20th century under Democratic political "Boss" Tom Pendergast, Kansas City became the country's "most wide open town".
I am imagining an interesting concept for the artwork. It could be an overhead 3/4 view of Kansas City except all the famous landmarks and buildings are falling over or on fire because of a severe earthquake caused by two giant hands reaching down and tearing a huge gash in the ground right in the middle of the city! Out of the flaming sinkhole emerges a huge disc golf basket, and in the foreground of the image a giant flying disc is spinning through the sky right at it.
The hand drawn sketch had me peeing my pants.
I thought we agreed on last years logo being the corporate logo that gets used every year. The number is the only thing that changed.

LONDON (Reuters) - A crackdown on drivers in China holding a mobile phone in one hand and steering with the other has boosted CSR, the British company that makes chips for headsets.
The group, whose technology is also used in headphones and speaker systems, consumer electronics and cars, posted fourth-quarter revenue of $249 million, ahead of an average market consensus, and underlying operating profit of $15.3 million, up from $0.6 million a year ago.
"In China, hands free driving legislation (...) is now being rigorously enforced, which is giving us an opportunity for additional revenue," said chief executive Joep van Beurden.
The stock hit a two-year high on Thursday, as analysts upgraded estimates on CSR's growth in voice and music.
Shares in CSR, which increased its full-year dividend by 15 percent and announced a $50 million buyback, were trading up 13 percent at 436 pence at 0930 GMT, topping the mid-cap index.
Van Beurden said first-quarter revenue would be between $215 million and $235 million, ahead of market expectations.
Analysts at Liberum Capital increased their forecasts for 2013 financial year revenue and earnings per share by 4 percent and 23 percent respectively.
"CSR is seeing continued strong growth in Voice & Music, a temporary boost from the introduction of hands-free legislation in China along with greater resilience in the legacy business," analyst Eoin Lambe said.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (WWBT) - The search for Morgan Harrington made headlines in Virginia and around the country. Despite very little hope from almost the moment she was reported missing, the college student's family and friends never gave up their search for Morgan.
The only information provided on Sunday October 18, was a photo and the news that Morgan Harrington had not been seen in more than 24 hours. Immediately her parents, Dan and Gil Harrington went to the airwaves.
"Morgan's a great kid," said her father. "And this is very atypical behavior and she's a wonderful person"
A $50 thousand reward was established and the family received help from the band, Morgan had been going to see, Metallica. Meanwhile young women at UVA were on guard.
"I carry a knife in my bag," said Nora Ellison in the days after Harrington went missing. "When I'm walking around at night but especially now with people going missing."
Dan and Gil Harrington, became regulars on national TV.
"You have to hold out hope that you know, that Morgan will come back to us," said Dan Harrington during an appearance on NBC's "Today Show" on October 27.
In early November, thousands turn out for a three day, search of the area. Jay McKee was among them.
"You just really feel lucky for the grace of God it could've been your child," he said. "So we're out here trying to help."
Their efforts net no new leads.
By mid November police reveal that Morgan may have been hitch hiking. At the end of December they say she had been drinking. The information brings them no closer to her discovery. Meanwhile a benefit concert is held at the Hat Factory in Richmond. On the internet, the family reconfirms their commitment to finding their daughter, alive.
Then less than two weeks later, a report that human remains have been found. Police feel confident they belong to Morgan Harrington.
Even though Dan and Gil Harrington remained committed to the safe return of their daughter, tonight they said that they have found some solace in learning where she is, even if that discovery was tragic.

Plaster model of the head of an executed Chinese criminal with case, made in England, c. 1910-1922
This model head is reportedly an executed Chinese Yangstze river pirate. It is made of plaster. The long ponytail is real human hair. It is particularly gruesome because it depicts the head in great anatomical detail. Arteries, veins and spinal cord are accurately modelled across the severed neck. The head also has its own bloodstained carrying box. The origins and purpose of the model are uncertain. It was possibly used in an exhibition because it was made in England early in the last century.

When we last checked on The Volvo Ocean Race, the 15-ton, 70-foot-long boats were safely in Abu Dhabi — after hopping a stealth freighter to avoid pirates in the Indian Ocean. Leg 3 begins with the usual in-port race in Abu Dhabi, home of the boat in second-to-last place, and continues to Sanya, China, home of the boat in last place.
An Arabian fairy tale came true as British Olympian Ian Walker skippered hometown favorite Team Abu Dhabi to victory in the Etihad In-Port Race. Walker's risk paid off in the winds of the Persian Gulf, earning his boat its second in-port victory in three races so far. The next day, the Shamal Winds came rolling in from the desert.
Race leader Telefonica looked to continue its winning ways, dominating the 106-mile race along the coast of the Arab Emirates. Then, with only two miles to go, the crew of old hands of Abu Dhabi pulled another rabbit out of the hat. Abu Dhabi's black, falcon-crested boat known as Azzam (Determination) — a radically designed racer by Bruce Farr of Annapolis — sailed to a one-minute victory over the hard-luck boys on Puma, taking the first stage of Leg 3 to Sanya, China.
Then it was back into the box.
The fully rigged boats were reloaded at Sharjah onto the yellow security freighter and transported to a mystery isle deep in the Indian Ocean (the Maldivian port of Male). Unloaded, they sailed away without fear of capture by pirates.
Snake-bit Team Sanya rejoined the fleet for the second stage. While the fleet was resting, racing and retooling in Abu Dhabi, the Chinese boat had been re-rigging in Madagascar since early in Leg 2. Bad luck throughout the fleet had been such that all six Volvos were now reunited for the first time since the race began in Alicante, Spain.
Each leg of the Volvo Ocean Race is a long-running drama of complex acts. Leg 3 was no exception.
Act 1 was a 1,000-mile straight line, sweltering burn-run on port tack, sailing south of Sri Lanka and across the Bay of Bengal toward the waypoint at Pulau We, off the coast of Indonesia. The first night out, Telefonica's Code Zero headsail ripped and the boat fell to the back of the fleet. Having nothing to lose, Telefonica went north while all the others sailed east. Puma and Camper traded leads daily — only to see Telefonica scream in from the north a few days later and steal the show.
After damage in the first two legs forced Team Sanya to withdraw, the crew of the Chinese boat hoped to make a good showing in Leg 3, which ends in its home port. But it's clear their boat, Telefonica Blue from the last Volvo Ocean Race, simply cannot compete with the latest generation of Volvo boats. That doesn't mean Team Sanya can't get lucky and have a gamble pay off. But over the long haul the Chinese boat is way over-matched.
Act 2 restarted near the entrance to the Malacca Strait at the northern tip of Sumatra. Lead boats hit light winds while the boats at the back rode a stronger breeze to catch up. No lead is ever safe. That's one of the maddening aspects of long-distance sailboat racing.
|Justin Slattery with Team Abu Dhabi performs a space walk repair of the mainsail during leg 3.
The Malacca Strait is a narrow, 500-mile-long channel filled with freighters, fishing boats, drift nets, uncharted reefs, unpredictable winds and a surreal assortment of floating debris. Puma hit a big tree that busted a dagger board. After clawing back into the lead, the boat snagged a fishing net and dropped to third. It was like sailing through a video game where everything is out to get you.
Puma's navigator Tom Addis set the stage. "There's plenty to hit, sandbanks and wrecks, the weather is really unstable — and through all of that you still have to rest so you can remain sane and make good decisions."
In three days of dueling lead changes, Team Abu Dhabi tore a sail and Camper got parked under a windless cloud. Thus ended both of their chances to win Leg 3. Act Two ended as it began, with Telefonica pin-balling out the Singapore side of the Malacca Strait in first, followed 20 minutes later by Groupama, sailing with the rest of the fleet this leg. Puma followed, seven miles back.
Act Three began with a bang as the fleet battled the 35-knot, gale-force winds and the 12-foot jackhammer waves of the South China Sea. Leaving Malaysia to starboard, the fleet began the dangerous 1,000-mile upwind odyssey, dodging rocky reefs and floating landfills.
The original plot line, based on the winning strategy of the last Volvo Ocean Race, was to hug the coast of Vietnam and use it as a shield from wind and current. This final stage of Leg 3 was all about survival and sailing as fast as possible without breaking the boat.
But after a few days of playing catch-up in third, Puma tested the fates by sailing east into an area known as the Dangerous Ground, daring the rest of the fleet to come out and play. No one took the bait, and the wind gods hit Puma with a granddaddy header that pushed the boat back to Vietnam and into a disappointing fourth position.
After 13 days of non-stop mayhem, Leg 3 ended with a bone-crushing tacking duel across Sanya Bay that pushed the exhausted crews to their limits.
Telefonica took line honors for the third consecutive Leg. The only other boat to win the first three legs of the Volvo Ocean Race is Sir Peter Blakes' Steinlager 2 in 1989-'90.

Rising to the Light tells the story of Bruno Bettelheim, who for many years was the Director of the Orthogenic School, a residential treatment center for disturbed children, operated by the University of Chicago. Robert Maynard Hutchins chose Bettelheim to direct the Orthogenic School, impressed by Bettelheim's profound interest in treating severely disturbed children, though Bettelheim had no formal credentials for the job. Instead, Bettelheim drew upon...

Important Notices Regarding Clicker Devices Sold in the Bookstores
- The bookstores are now caring the new QT clicker devices, which have a new look and come with a complimentary 1-year ResponseWare license. Students who already have a clicker DO NOT have to buy the new ones. Both models are compatible with current software.
- The bookstores also carry the 1-year ResponseWare scratch cards. Students who wish to use ResponseWare with their smartphones can purchase the cards and $19.99 rebate by mail from TurningTechnologies.
UMKC has standardized on devices and software from Turning Technologies. Turning Technologies can be used in conjunction with Blackboard to create a complete interactive teaching and learning experience.
Instructions and FAQs
Choose the applicable site to access tutorials, instructions, and frequently asked questions:
What are Clickers?
Clickers are the wireless devices used in Classroom Response Systems (also called Student Response Systems, or Audience Response Systems). In a clicker system, each student uses a device to respond to the instructor's questions posted in a PowerPoint presentation or specialized polling sessions. Through these interactive question-and-answer sessions, instructors can engage students in course materials by providing instant visual feedbacks. It also allows instructors to collect individual responses, generate statistics, gauge student comprehension, and upload grades to Blackboard courses.
UMKC students have two device options depending on instructors' requirements, either the NXT handheld Clickers or a mobile devices.
This small handheld device has a T9 interface much like the style used for cell phone texting. This is beneficial for fill in the blank, short answer, and essay responses. Immediately after responding to a question, the user is able to see if their response was received via the NXT's LCD screen. NXT Clickers can be used with all Turning Technologies software.
|RESPONSWARE (Mobile Learning)
ResponseWare is a web-based polling application that lets students use smart phones, laptops and other Internet-connected devices to respond in real-time to interactive polling questions. Results are immediately transferred through data plans to the Instructor's response software. Instructors can ask not only multiple choice, but also alphanumeric, multiple response, short answer and essay questions.
Why Clickers?
The use of Clickers in the classroom has been shown to increase student attention and interest and to increase retention of information presented in lectures.
Using clickers to pose questions that require synthesis of information, such as asking for an opinion on a complex social or ethical issue, promotes critical thinking and helps make learning personal. Additionally, Faculty have used Clickers to:
- Save time by substituting for a paper test or quiz.
- Save time when taking attendance.
- Poll the class to check understanding of last night's homework with a question(s) over the key concepts.
- Ask "muddiest point" questions.
- Gain instant feedback on student understanding.
- Have students grade peer presentations.
- Facilitate debate sessions.

It will be several seasons before Liberty Link, herbicide-tolerant Acala cottons will be available to San Joaquin Valley producers, but veteran weed control expert Ron Vargas is already sending out a clarion call that timing and tank mixing will be critical to successful use of the new herbicide.
Vargas, Madera County, Calif., Extension farm advisor, told producers and pest control advisers recently at the annual Cotton Field day at the West Side Research and Extension Center at Five Points, Calif., that the active ingredient in Bayer CropScience's new herbicide, gluphosinate, is the same as in the tree and vine herbicide Rely.
It is a contact herbicide with a weed killing response somewhere in between rapid dieback paraquat and the slower Roundup.
FiberMax cotton varieties will be introduced next season in the Cotton Belt that are resistant to Liberty, but it will be several years before the same technology is available in Acala cottons. California Planting Cotton Seed Distributors is now evaluating Liberty Link cottons.
Bayer CropScience announced earlier it is seeking a California registration for Liberty herbicide, even though there are not California Acalas tolerant to it. It could be used on Liberty-tolerant FiberMax varieties being grown for seed in the valley. Most of the major seed companies use the San Joaquin Valley to produce planting seed. Vargas tested in the past as a post-directed weed control in cotton.
Vargas evaluated the Liberty Link system on tolerant varieties at the Five Points field station and said the "take home message" from his research is that treating seedling weeds with Liberty at the four-leaf stage or earlier is critical.
Vargas recorded control of almost 100 percent when weeds were sprayed early. "It is amazing how things really changed when weeds were treated at the five-leaf or greater stage. Control dropped to just about half of what it was at the four-leaf or earlier stage," he said.
Vargas added he has not seen that with Rely in trees and vines, but the weed spectrum is different there than in row crops.
10-leaf stage
Liberty controls pretty much the same weed as glyphosate, but can be applied up to the 10th leaf of the cotton plant without hurting the plant. The current generation of Roundup Ready cotton can tolerate the herbicide without damaging it only up to the four-leaf stage. That will change with the new Roundup Ready Flex technology expected to be available in 2006 allowing producers to apply Roundup over the top of the plant through the 12th to 14th node.
Tank mixing Liberty with Staple or MSMA can enhance control. "We have seen that a lot in our over-the-top work, especially with MSMA. You can really increase the effectiveness of Liberty with tank mixing," Vargas added.
Liberty's active ingredient will offer another mode of action for controlling most of the same weeds as Roundup, thus providing a resistance management tool.
And so will another new cotton herbicide on the horizon, Envoke from Syngenta.
Its active ingredient is trifloxysulfuron sodium and controls a wide variety of weeds, but apparently not yellow and purple nutsedge in the San Joaquin Valley.
"We have sat in meetings at the Beltwide cotton conference and listened to our colleagues in the Southeast and Delta talk about how effective Envoke is on nutsedges, but we cannot get it to work here," lamented Vargas.
However, it is effective on many other weeds. "It is extremely effective on annual morningglory," said Vargas.
Envoke is safe to use over the top of conventional and transgenic cottons. It can be used post-directed as well. It is systemic and used at very low rates.
Arizona results
University of Arizona weed control specialist Bill McCloskey says in his state Envoke has "very good nutsedge suppression and does a good job on our broadleaf weeds, including morning-glories and pigweed."
Many of these new over-the-top herbicides and transgenic cottons prompted cash-strapped producers to abandon pre-plant herbicides like Treflan and Prowl.
However, Vargas that that trend is reversing, according to a call he received from the California Department of Pesticide Regulation asking why pre-plant herbicide use has been increasing of late.
"I think producers have seen problems in eliminating preplant herbicides and are going back to them to get overall, better weed control," he added.

Oilers 0, Predators 6 – Game 24 – 2013-03-08 @ 6:00 PM MST – SNETW
If the Oilers had as much consistency at playing the game as I do at making GDT, we would be a much better hockey team. I'm not sure why I still do these.. 😉
Anyways, Chris Vande Velde got sent back down. Definitely needed this… he hasn't really accomplished much. I don't consider him a bad player, I consider him much like the rest of our bottom six, however…. existing just for the purpose of killing time and hopefully not leaking any goals. That has to change! The Oilers need some players that are tough to play against. They need guys that will give their all every shift, but also score some goals when the skill lines can't do it.
I hope Yakupov makes a return to our top six.. this time without being at the cost of Paajarvi who has looked at home on the top six again, alongside Gagner. Ales Hemsky is out with a bruised foot after blocking a shot from Jacob Kindl. Yakupov still looks good when he is in an offensive situation with the puck on his stick. In a defensive situation, he looks fairly terrible when the puck is on his stick. That will change one day though, so I am not worried.. just mentioning it.
In conclusion, this team is an embarrassing mess.. no matter what lines we slap together, it will stay that way. We need a healthy Horcoff, and we need some better glue players. And we also need a general manager who realizes that you are allowed to make moves during the course of a season. Other teams do it.
Should be another stinker.. I'll still watch though being the masochist I am.

Crucial to the production and marketing of industrial chemicals, fuels, and agricultural chemical products is the ability to move the precursors and products safely and compliantly through the supply chain. The transport of such goods is governed by a complex network of national and international regulations, programs that have extremely broad applicability across many industries. Any company involved in transporting dangerous or hazardous materials, even at very small quantities, is required to comply with the regulations or seek a waiver.

's (BC ® ) regulatory experts help clients identify, classify, label, and ship all manner of dangerous goods by land, air, or sea, and manage the sometimes bewildering cross-border inconsistencies in international regulatory requirements. As a complement to BC's capabilities, our consulting affiliate The Acta Group (Acta ® ), with offices in the U.S., European Union (EU), and China, offers additional international expertise so that our clients are well-served by an extensive network of support globally.
U.S. Standards for Transporting HazMats:
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has primary responsibility for overseeing the transportation in commerce of hazardous materials, commonly called "HazMats." DOT is comprised of a number of administrating agencies, such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The administration responsible for the transport of HazMats is the Office of Hazardous Materials Safety (OHMS), which is housed under the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). DOT's regulations govern the transport of HazMats by ground, air, rail, inland water, and sea. The scope of DOT's regulatory reach is broad: thousands of products and tens of thousands of businesses are regulated under the DOT HazMat program.
Each day, U.S. businesses transport over one million HazMats shipments, and every one of them is subject to the DOT standards. The regulations establish standards for HazMats identification, training, labeling, use of proper containers, recordkeeping, reporting, placarding, and vehicle safety. Any business that offers HazMats for shipment must train its HazMat employees and adhere to the stringent standards DOT has established. The regulations are complex and businesses often require the assistance of seasoned and experienced professionals to navigate the regulatory maze to ensure compliance.
EU Standards for the Carriage of Dangerous Goods:
Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations (CDG) and the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road ECE/TRANS/225 (Vol. I II) (ADR) together regulate the carriage of goods by road within the EU, whereas the International Air Transport Association Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR) set forth the international standard for shipping dangerous goods by air. (International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is the regulation; IATA is the ICAO interpretations with individual contributions from airlines.)

T ragedy struck the UCLA family twice within two days.
is reporting that ex-UCLA star Billy Knight apparently committed suicide on Sunday, July 9. The former basketball player recorded a YouTube video in which he said,"This is probably my last message on Earth." He detailed his struggle with mental illness, saying, "I isolated myself from my family members. I isolated myself from my friends, and that's not something you should do. If this happens, you probably have a mental illness. Mental illness is serious. I hear voices in my head constantly, and I don't know where they come from. I just asked God for forgiveness for all the wrong I've done." We are not linking to the video.Billy Knight

TMZ reports, "Shortly after the video was posted, the Phoenix P.D. says officers found Knight's body in a roadway in downtown Phoenix.Officers say, 'No evidence of foul play was detected,' but the body has been sent to the Medical Examiner to determine the cause of death." Knight was 39 years old.
In more sad news, Tyler Honeycutt, anotherUCLA basketball player, was found dead on Saturday, July 7. Honeycutt had a shootout with police at his home in Sherman Oaks, and The Los Angeles Daily News reports, "He reportedly barricaded himself after shots were exchanged, starting an 11-hour standoff.Initial reports had many to believe that Honeycutt was shot by police after he fired his gun at authorities. But a suicide is now being considered."
Bort Escoto, his former high school coach who remained close to Honeycutt and his family, told The Los Angeles Daily News, "He's been going through some things. He called me at around 4 p.m. (Friday), I planned on going to his house to talk, but his mom called me 45 minutes later saying, 'He had a gun and was talking crazy.' I told her to call 9-1-1." He continued,"Recently, he's been calling me and thanking me 'for all I've done for him'. He has been acting very unusual lately, and our conversations would leave me concerned for him."
Tyler Honeycutt was only 27 years old.
Our condolences go out to the friends and family of Billy Knight and Tyler Honeycutt.

Sabine Vogel born in Munich, studied jazz-flute at the Anton Bruckner Conservatory in Linz, Austria. In 2000 Sabine Vogel moved to Berlin, since 2005 she has been living in Potsdam. As a flautist Sabine Vogel focuses on sound and improvisation, using extended techniques both acoustic as well as electronic, creating a very personal contemporary language for the flute. Discovering and producing the unheard, the intimate, in relation to sound production within the flute, is her main focus of exploration.
She takes the sounds from the inside of her flute – the microcosm of her flute world – and transports these sounds, with the help of amplification, into a sound-able-hear-able world. Bringing what is inside into the outside. She then combines this world of sound withself-made field recordings- the natural macrocosm of existing sound – forming a composed mixture between the macro and microcosmic. Recently she became more and more interested in site specific work, doing sound installation combined with live playing in natural environment.
Sabine Vogel has played as a soloist or in various formations on festivals like: ISEA RUHR, Ultima Festival/ Oslo, EMS Festival/ Stockholm, Ultraschall Festival/ Berlin, High Zero/Baltimore, Internationale Ferienkurse Darmstadt, Audiocraft, Oxford etc
Her current projects are: ORNIS; an audio-visual Duo with british artist Kathy Hinde, a Duo with australian pianist/organist Chris Abrahams, Landscape Quartet – an enviromental, soundart project with Bennett Hogg, Matt Sansom, Stefan Östersjö – She is a member of the "Splitter Orchester", based in Berlin Sabine Vogel has a lectureship for flute at the University Potsdam
She has played and worked a.o. with Anthony Braxton, Arto Lindsay, Tony Buck, Jim Denley, Chris Abrahams, Alex Nowitz, Malin Bång, Andrea Neumann, Schwimmer,Shannon Cooney, the Walter Thompson Soundpainting Orchestra.
Passepartout Duo Ever since they began collaborating in 2015, the musicians of Passepartout Duo have been known for their tireless advocacy of new music, ideas that cross aesthetic boundaries, and the compelling films they create. Driven by their shared values of music, people, and travel, Nicoletta Favari Christopher Salvito's simple and elegant approach has already earned them a reputation as a thoughtful and promising emerging group within the contemporary music field.
The work of the duo has been described as, "globalized and far-reaching and provocative and, yes, even beautiful" by the Lake Champlain Weekly. In addition to performing across dozens of countries and scores of US states, the duo has been invited to perform at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in England, the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival in Connecticut, the Havana Contemporary Music Festival in Cuba, and the KlangBasel Festival in Switzerland. Being avid collaborators, a recent project of the group involved composing and recording music for Belgian-based animator Anna Van Riel's short film. As educators, the members of Passepartout Duo offer a variety of classes and engagements for students; most recently, they were ensemble in residence for the composition department at University of Miami's Frost School of Music.
Their upcoming engagements include the filming of Molly Joyce's piece, and a two-month-long residency in Iceland focusing on the theme Skammdegi, the Icelandic word for "The Shortest Day."
