A recent apparent full-throated defense of Glenn Beck hasn't left Stardock CEO Brad Wardell with a shortage of vehemence. He lashed out at Games for Windows Live, its certification process and the payments it requires to keep games patched and running.
In an interview with Shacknews, Wardell was asked if he knew why Microsoft wasn't "showing more leadership" on the PC. Wardell - well, just let the man speak for himself. He's quite comfortable with doing so, after all.
I started out as a big Games for Windows Live advocate. I intended for Elemental to be on Games for Windows Live, but then as we got closer, the Xbox group took it over more and more. And they have things where, oh, if you want to use Games for Windows Live to update your game, you have to go through [their] certification. And if you do it more than X number of times, you have to pay money. It's like, "My friends, you can't do that on the PC."
On the console, I don't have to update my game because an anti-virus program got an update and is now identifying my VB scripts as viruses and I have to apply an emergency patch. That would just add insult to injury. We've had to upgrade our games plenty of times over the years, not because we found some bug, but because some third-party program, or driver, or whatever screwed it up. If Games for Windows Live maintains that strategy and they take over, I'm done. I'm not making PC games. I would be done.
Is he impertinent? Impolite? Merely exaggerating? Maybe, but the man does have a point.

Lightning Researchers Successfully Deploy Sensing Stations on Chilean Island, June 20, 2008
By Thomas Guengerich
Right: Tech professor of electrical engineering Bill Rison stands on a fence rail as he sets up a lightning sensor on Chiloe Island. The plume from the Chaiten Volcano is visible across the bay to the right of Rison.
SOCORRO, N.M., June 20, 2008 – No one said the study of volcanic lightning would be easy. A team of three New Mexico Tech researchers overcame all the minor obstacles – chickens and pigs, remoteness and a bit of rain – on a recent scientific expedition to Chile.
Two electrical engineering professors and a geophysics professor deployed an array of lightning sensors near the explosive Chaitén Volcano. They will return in a few months to collect the lightning sensors and begin analyzing the data.
See Dr. Jeff Johnson discuss Chaitén Volcano on YouTube
Chaitén Volcano first erupted May 2, 2008, ending a period of nearly 10,000 years of dormancy. The initial eruption was one of the largest worldwide in the last decade. Immediately, the Tech team began feverishly preparing their portable sensing stations for transport to Chile.
Left: Tech professor of electrical engineering Bill Rison works on his laptop in preparation to deploying lightning sensors. He is sitting on the container used to transport the sensor. Just seconds before this picture was taken, Rison had to shoo a pig away from his gear.
Ron Thomas and Bill Rison of the Department of Electrical Engineering and volcanologist Jeffrey Johnson left the country two weeks later, hoping that the volcano would continue to erupt explosively. The team spent about two weeks in Chile setting up the sensors.
The challenges for the team included finding four cooperative landowners on Chiloé Island and Achao Island, which are about 60 kilometers from Chaitén Volcano on the mainland. The team scoped out four ideal locations and then approached those landowners.
"We were four for four," Johnson said. "The locals were a little skeptical at first, but once we explained that we were researching the volcano, they seemed interested and happy to help."
Right: Chickens and a dog investigate the new orange cable running through their habitat on Chiloe Island. The Tech team buried the extension cord to prevent chicken damage.
Johnson has extensive experience studying volcanoes in Central and South America, including Chile. In addition to helping the engineers deploy their sensors, he deployed his own sensors in parallel – low-frequency sound sensors that track eruptive activity from a distance.
Rison said the locals were very nice and helpful – but no one spoke English.
"It was essential to have someone to speak Spanish. Luckily we had Jeff," Rison said. "Everything went well. The main challenge was that it was raining a lot. On our first day, we got soaked."
Left: Tech geophysics professor Jeffrey Johnson hides his sensing equipment in the brambles to minimize the "noise" from wind.
Because transporting batteries would have been cost-prohibitive, the Tech researchers purchased batteries and chargers in the coastal city of Puerto Montt. They entered agreements with homeowners to use their electricity to keep the batteries charged. In each case, the team used a series of extension cords to deliver electricity from a home to the sensor site.
In some cases, the cords were buried to prevent chickens, pigs and dogs from eating the cables. In other cases, the cords were tied to fences.
"The island is mainly small private ranches," Rison said. "Everybody had chickens, pigs, dogs, sheep and maybe a few cows."
The Patagonia region of Chile is currently in the Austral winter rainy season, but the team's efforts were only slightly disturbed by rain. The sensors – which included multiple proprietary systems – were designed to acquire data in any weather condition.
The sensing stations can store up to three months of radio wave information and are capable of running unattended.
"We'll head back in late July or early August," Rison said, "unless we get a major eruption before then. In that case, we'll go right down."
After the entire array was set up, the team collected several hours of data that included several small eruptions. At many times all the sensors detected radio signals from the small lightning in the volcanic plume.
"This is exactly what we wanted to see," Thomas said. "It is giving more evidence that lightning is common in small eruptions even when it can't be seen visibly."
Right: Tech physics professor Ron Thomas puts the finishing touches on the installation of a lightning sensor on a small hillock overlooking Corvovado Bay.
Rison designed the mapping sensors using field programmable gate arrays that determines the arrival time of radio waves with 40 nanosecond accuracy.
"We'll measure the time the signals arrive at the four different stations," physics professor Paul Krehbiel said. "From the four stations, we can determine the location and time of the lightning surges. It's similar to triangulating."
Krehbiel has conducted lightning research at New Mexico Tech since the 1960s. He was unable to participate in the May trip to Chile.
Radio waves created by lightning travel about one foot per nanosecond. With equipment that captures information every 40 nanoseconds, the sensors will be able to pinpoint a three-dimensional location of lightning within about 40 feet, Krehbiel said.
"We receive radio bursts of noise generated from sparks of lightning, just like the static you hear on your car radio during a thunderstorm," Thomas said. "We will use our sensing stations to locate the lightning and track its path."
Left: The explosive eruption of Chaiten Volcano propelled tons of pumice into the atmosphere. Pumice is a volcanic rock that floats. This photo of pumice washed ashore on Chiloe Island was taken about 60 miles from the volcano.
The team set up an array of four mapping sensors that were developed by New Mexico Tech professors and students over the past 13 years. Tech's pioneering research into lightning – both volcanic and thunderstorm lightning – has led to a series of breakthroughs, including proprietary sensing technology that allows scientists, meteorologists and storm chasers to pierce the veil of clouds to "see" lightning as it occurs.
By studying the path of lightning in a volcano's plume, Rison and Thomas hope to gather an understanding of how electrical activity is transmitted from the Earth into the atmosphere.
"With each lightning flash, we'll be able to monitor how it moves through the clouds and where it goes," Thomas said. "If we take all our theories about lightning created in thunderstorms, we can learn about both types of lightning."

Up Your Wow Factor This Weekend With False Lashes Like Vanessa Hudgens!
Learn how to get celeb-worthy fake lashes this Friday night!
Ever wonder why celebs look amazing all the time? Here's their secret: fake lashes! Just ask Vanessa Hudgens who sported a gorgeous full set at the ShoWest awards ceremony in Las Vegas on Mar. 18. Vanessa shows you how a set of falsies can transform a look from great to glam. "If you're going out, adding fake lashes is the best thing in the world!" says DuWop cosmetics creator, Cristina Bartolucci. "It's so worth the effort." For a perfect party look, Cristina recommends pairing lashes with a bold, red lip, or, if you're too shy for red, try a smokey eye with a nude lip. Check out Christina's tips and trick for applying your own set of party worthy lashes!
- "Trim the very edges off, about 1/8 of inch of the Ardell demi wispies lashes for a more natural look," Cristina says.
- "Put a small dot of lash glue on your hand and run the lash strip through it from left to right so just a little glue is on the strip," she says.
- "Place the strip so it goes right past your natural lash line. Tilt the lash up so it just blends in with the natural lash. You might have to hold your eyebrow to steady the eye and make applying easier."
- "Once it gets on you can adjust it. You can pull it left or right but not up and down. Give it a few minutes to dry so eye shadow doesn't get stuck to the wet glue," Cristina says.
- "Use a mascara wand to blend your natural lashes into the fake ones. You want to try to make the lashes stick to the false lashes so they become one. That's the way you'll get that totally glam look," she says. – Marta Topran

The Santa Barbara Ocean Ducks gather Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at Goleta Beach County Park, and Sundays at Butterfly Beach in Montecito (plus Saturdays in the summer). It's a diverse, friendly group of folks, and even this late in the year you can expect to see 8-10 of us in the water during the week; more on the weekends.
Typically we head out in groups of 2 or 3 according to speed. There are a variety of possible swim routes. Here's one of my favorites (click to enlarge):
From our meeting place next to the shower head (west of the restaurant and pier, east of the restroom), we make our way beyond the surf line, 100-150m offshore. Then we turn right, towards UC Santa Barbara and Campus Point. On the outbound trip, we try to maintain a constant distance from shore as we bend around the cove. In the image above I've noted four intermediate landmarks, which offer convenient turning-back points if someone is in a hurry.
The full trip to the east side of Campus Point is approximately 1800m. As seen on the satellite image, this location is actually a "false" point, beyond which there is a small cove that bends into the "true" Point. Usually the false point (or even a little before) offers a better turn-around spot, to avoid rocks and surfers – especially on big W or SW swells. Even on flat-ish days there's often a nice little right-breaking wave at the Point – perfect for a bodysurfing interlude.
On the return trip we aim for a straight-line trip across the cove. If done correctly, this shaves 300m off the outbound distance. The north side of the pier (where it intersects with the beach) is the best sighting landmark. I usually make the 3300m (2-mile) round-trip in a little under an hour, including a bodysurfing break.
Here's a short video I took near "the rock":
<iframe - src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6RnHgmm0TxE?hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It's a beautiful little swim. There's an occasional kelp patch to dodge, and perhaps a lone seal or pod of dolphins out for lunch; but for the most part, not much in the way of sea-flora or fauna.
A couple gratuitous Google Earth views of the swim:
Interesting historical note: this swim route partially retraces a favorite workout of Lynne Cox, a 1979 graduate of UC Santa Barbara. According to her memoir Swimming to Antarctica, Lynne would swim from the Goleta pier to Campus Point, then on to the next point (Coal Oil Point), and back – a 6.5-mile round trip.

The World of Tibetan Buddhism (Paperback) - Foreword
The Gere Foundation is honored to continue its sponsorship of important books by His Holiness the Dalai Lama published by Wisdom Publications, the first two in the series being Opening the Eye of New Awareness and The Meaning of Life from a Buddhist Perspective.
In the present volume, The World of Tibetan Buddhism, beautifully translated and edited by Geshe Thupten Jinpa, His Holiness offers a clear and penetrating overview of Tibetan Buddhist practice from the Four Noble Truths to Highest Yoga Tantra with, as always, special emphasis on the practices of love, kindness, and universal responsibility. He asks us to be mindful and present in the moment, to be constantly vigilant in monitoring our attitudes, actions, and motivations, and to engage in a thorough-going research on our own mental functioning and examine the possibility of making some positive changes within ourselves. Not easy tasks! Few of us are capable of the monumental courage and iron determination required to achieve the enlightened state of Skyamuni, Nāgārjuna, Milarepa, or Tsongkhapa, or the other saints and heroes. But we can, with sustained practice, bring more clarity to our minds and feel the warmth of our opening hearts.
Recipient of the 1989 Nobel Prize for Peace, the Dalai Lama is universally respected as one of our greatest spiritual friends. He is the product of an unbroken lineage extending back 2,500 years to the historical Buddha. His forty-five years as a spiritual teacher and political leader are unique in our time. He has often said, "My religion is kindness."
Since the Chinese invasion of independent Tibet in 1950 and his harrowing escape to India in 1959, His Holiness has worked tirelessly to free his people from a systematic genocide that has killed 1.2 million Tibetans—one fifth of the pre-invasion population. His Holiness's unfaltering compassion for even those who continue to destroy his country is the mark of a true and reliable bodhisattva. This book is a wondrous opportunity for us all to make contact with such a man and his teachings.
The Gere Foundation is proud to be associated with His Holiness and his message of universal responsibility and peace, and pleased to support Wisdom Publications in its efforts to promote these ideals. May this book help bring happiness and the causes of future happiness to all beings.

The feud continues: One Direction and The Wanted in Twitter war of words
Move over Louis Tomlinson, there's a new sasquatch in town - and he's taking on The Wanted.
Yup, the rivalry between One Direction and The Wanted reached new levels today, after Zayn Malik embarked on a war of words with Max George on Twitter.
The Twitter row/banter/whatever you want to call it seems to have been sparked by Zayn's comment two days ago, when he called Max a 'geek' for cosying up to Usher.
Now, up until this point the tweets could have all been passed off as banter. Then Tom Parker got involved, and said: 'I think "1 stripes" got his knickers in a twist'.
Unsurprisingly, Louis Tomlinson didn't stay silent for long - and leapt to the defence of his bandmate with the simple, yet sassy, '@TomTheWanted pipe down bad boy'.
Now stay with us, because this is where it gets a bit confusing timeline-wise. While the Zayn/Tom spat was going on, Max then replied to this earlier tweet from Zayn, saying: 'that's not very nice. I was just starting to like you and your RnB hits.'
A few minutes later, Tom revealed his extensive knowledge of the 1D boys nicknames, by posting a photo of Zayny-pops with the caption: "Bradford Bad Boi".

AMC released the full-length trailer for The Walking Dead season 4 at Comic-Con and whatever you may think of the show as a whole, there's no denying the awesomeness of their trailers.
Sounds like they may be channeling 28 Days Later with that radio broadcast, which might actually serve the show well. I have long considered 28 Days Later to be the best zombie flick ever made. (Some argue that it isn't a true zombie flick because the zombies became zombies by infection rather than reanimation after death. Whatever. Splitting hairs as far as I'm concerned.)
Plus, it appears that Daryl gets loads of screen time and anyone who watches knows that more Daryl = happiness. 🙂

I bet you have had some of those nasty lil ants invade your home and you have wondered if you could get a pet anteater to come and clean them up. Maybe you haven't thought that but, I have.
Since I hate the ants, I did a bit of research on giant anteaters. I even looked at the pet aspect in an article titled Giant Anteaters May Not Make Great Pets.
I have always thought that I had way to many ants but, have found that I may not have enough to sustain a pet anteater. Oh, I will look into different types of anteaters. It's just that the giant anteater is so danged cute.

Can you picture your partner as a small child? At that age, he or she was learning how to gain approval from parents, what they liked, what they didn't like. S/he was sometimes hurt by reprimands, criticisms, perhaps even hitting. What did that child do to protect himself? Withdraw? Act out with aggression?
I once had a couple in my office. He had been struggling with her "nagging." Once he realized how hard it had been for her to get attention in childhood, he began to have more compassion. Suddenly he said, "I can never hurt you when I picture you as that little child trying to make sure people paid attention to you."

Well, I took my LSAT on October 4th and received the score the other day. I got a 157, which puts me in the 72nd percentile (means that 72% of scores are lower than mine). Not great, but good enough!
I must say that the LSAT is a very tough test. I did not spend enough time preparing for it. Here are my excuses:
- Hurricane Gustav.
- Hurricane Ike.
- Extremely heavy workload during two weeks previous to LSAT at school.
Don't they sound good? They are true, but I normally don't accept or make excuses, so ignore them.
With my grade point average (currently 3.66 for my entire college career and 4.0 for my current degree) it should be a cinch to get into my choice of schools.
Now, let's just see if I can afford to go with the economy killing my income.

Jesse Root scores off turnover at 9 seconds of OT, Yale beats Minnesota 3-2 in NCAA tournamentNHL.com @NHLdotcom
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Jesse Root scored 9 seconds into overtime to give fourth-seeded Yale a 3-2 victory over top-seeded Minnesota in the NCAA West Regional semifinals Friday.
Kenny Agostino intercepted Minnesota defenceman Ben Marshall's pass behind the net and feed Root for his 10th goal of the season. Yale (19-12-3) will play North Dakota or Niagara in the regional final Saturday for a spot in the Frozen Four in Pittsburgh.

Minnesota overcame a 2-0 deficit in the third period, cutting it to one on Nate Schmidt's power-play goal and tying it on Zach Budish's goal with 6:20 left.
Agostino opened the scoring in the second period with his 16th goal of the season, and defenceman Gus Young made it 2-0 with a power-play goal in the period.
Jeff Malcolm made 27 saves for Yale, and Adam Wilcox stopped 23 shots for Minnesota.

When the Indian Land Recreation Center was built many years ago on a "shoestring budget" to quiet the growing population, the access drive was insufficient and certainly didn't match what would be required of a private developer.
During the school year, buses squeeze to get in, parents heading to the facilities frequently come dangerously close in both directions, and the visibility and road entrance width are, without question, insufficient.

Looking at the Intellasys / Chuck Moore multicore parallel Forth(s) engines SEAforth-24 and SEAforth-40C18
Pictured here (courtesy Intellasys) is the 40C18, 40 very fast dual-stack cores with tiny RAM connected Up-Down-Left-Right in a grid to their neighbor cores. Only the edge nodes, certain of the edge nodes, can do I/O. Program bits travel in a bucket brigade to interior and I/O-less nodes across the 4x10 chessboard.
The only one-word description that fits Chuck Moore's microprocessor creation is trippy. Left is right and right is left. A core sending to the "right" is received by the neighbor core listening to the "right". The words "left" and "right" are merely conventional, like "up" and "down" in quantum theory.
35 years ago, Radio Shack was selling integrated circuits with four transistors on them. As familiar albeit increasingly complex circuits vanish downwards in size towards the quantum scale, folding inward into themselves in boolean reduction, one begins to grok in a way textbooks and equations can't convey.
Chuck is so into this stuff: he has spent the last twenty years or more designing Forth chips, designing the tools to create Forth chips, designing the operating systems to run the tools to create Forth chips. He has proved over and over again he can get good fab yields of lower-power, higher-performance microcontrollers than the Smart Boys and Girls with the Million Dollar CAD Tools. They hold meetings to tell him that what he has designed cannot be designed, that what he has fabbed cannot be fabbed. Trippy.
The Ideal is that one programmer can be as productive as a team. In Chuck's case, this Ideal has swollen to something precariously close to the Ideal of (Chuck + A Few Friends) == (Intel | Moto | Hitachi | Siemens) or maybe all of them together.
No, they would not really claim this. But Chuck has said many times that programs are bloated, systems are bloated, and that with the aid of simplicity (wo)men can move mountains. This chip illustrates what human ingenuity coupled to 40 years of obsession can achieve.
Next: a look at 24 vs 40 .
BTW, this Saturday 11/15 is Forth Day and the 40th Anniversary of Forth. If you're anywhere near Silicon Valley, contact SVFIG and tell Chuck hello for me.

I hadn't meant to wait so long to read "Tales from the Nam."
"Tales from the Nam" is a first-hand look at the life of a "grunt" in the Vietnam War. It's comprehensive and compelling, authentic, well researched, well remembered, and well recounted.
It was written by Dave Nicholson, my friend and basketball teammate from long ago at Middlebury ("Nick" to all who knew him then), and published in 2008.

Dr. Edward Hansen, professor of geology and environmental science at Hope College, will present the address "The Call to Humility: A Scientist's Faith" on Tuesday, Nov. 23, at 7 p.m. in the Maas Center auditorium.
Dr. Edward Hansen, professor of geology and environmental science at Hope College, will present the address "The Call to Humility: A Scientist's Faith" on Tuesday, Nov. 23, at 7 p.m. in the Maas Center auditorium.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Hansen will be speaking through the "Last Lecture Series" organized by the college's Alcor chapter of the national Mortar Board honorary society to feature members of the faculty.
The title of the lecture series, which the chapter initiated during the 2008-09 school year, is rhetorical. The lectures are not literally presented as the last that the speakers will deliver at Hope, but are meant to highlight the advice that they would most want to share if the event was indeed the final opportunity for them to address the college's students. The professors are being asked to reflect on their careers and lives, and to think deeply about what matters to them and about what wisdom they would like to impart.
The concept was inspired by the "Last Lecture" delivered at Carnegie Mellon University by Dr. Randy Pausch on Sept. 18, 2007. Pausch, a member of the Carnegie Mellon faculty who had terminal pancreatic cancer -- a fact known at the time that he spoke -- presented "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." He died on July 25, 2008, at age 47.
Hansen has taught at Hope since 1984. He joined the faculty as an assistant professor, and was promoted to associate professor in 1990 and to full professor in 2000. He served as chair of the department from 1995 until 2001.
Hansen's primary research emphasis is on the history of the sand dunes along the southeastern coast of Lake Michigan across the past 5,000 years. Working collaboratively with student researchers, he has been exploring the history of the dunes from as far south as Michigan City to as far north as Muskegon, with particular focus on the dune complex in the Holland area. In 2008, he received an award through the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program that enabled him to spend the fall semester in Europe learning additional research techniques in support of his work.
He is also interested in metamorphism, the process by which rocks are transformed by heat, pressure and chemically active fluids in the interior of the earth, and has been working with other scholars internationally as well as Hope students on a variety of projects, most recently in Sweden's Halland Province.
Hansen is active in the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR), currently serving as a member of the executive board and as chair of the Geoscience Division. He was president of the Michigan Academy of Science, Arts and Letters during the 2005-06 school year, with his service to the academy also having included serving as a member-at large on the executive committee and leading the section in the geological sciences.
He graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 1978 with a B.S. in geology, and completed his doctorate in the geophysical sciences at the University of Chicago in 1983. After completing his Ph.D. he continued to work with his thesis advisor as a research associate for a year.
Mortar Board is a national honor society that recognizes college seniors for outstanding achievement in scholarship, leadership and service, and provides opportunities for continued leadership development, promotes service to college and universities, and encourages lifelong contributions to the global community. Since its founding in 1918, the organization has grown from the four founding chapters to 228 collegiate chapters with nearly 250,000 initiated members across the nation.
The Alcor chapter has existed at Hope since the 1936-37 academic year, although it did not become part of the national Mortar Board organization until 1961. During the 2010 Mortar Board National Conference in July, the chapter received the organization's highest honor for a collegiate chapter, the Ruth Weimer Mount Chapter Excellence Award. The chapter also received eight "Project Excellence Awards," including for the Last Lecture Series.
The chapter also sponsored a "last chance talk" during the 1960s. The idea back then was to invite a faculty member to express his/her ideas under the hypothetical assumption that this would be the last opportunity to address the student body. The late Dr. D. Ivan Dykstra, professor of philosophy, delivered the first "last chance talk" in the spring of 1962.
The Maas Center is located at 264 Columbia Ave., on Columbia Avenue at 11th Street.

Most children experience considerable distress when they see and/or hear parents fighting. Children are totally dependent on their parents. They, rightly so, expect to be taken care of. Seeing a parent lose control, shouting angrily, can be extremely unsettling. When distressed, who does the child seek out for comfort? The parent! And what if the parents are showing anger towards each other? That leaves the child feeling vulnerable and frightened. If such experiences occur frequently, some children learn to withdraw and become "invisible" in order to survive in what seems a dangerous place. Others may act out in order to get the parents to pay attention to them rather than remain in the conflict with each other. This acting out can include temper tantrums, destruction of belongings, harming a younger sibling, and even developing an illness.
What have you done in the past that helps you to remain calm in the presence of the children, even when you're angry at your spouse?

Internship: No internship is required.
Language Examination: No language examination is required.
Comprehensive Examination:
The purpose of the comprehensive examination is to demonstrate breadth and depth of knowledge in the concepts of geological sciences. The exam has written and oral sections. The subject areas are general geology in the written portion and discussion of a potential thesis topic and other general geology concepts in the oral portion. The examination is taken when the student completes approximately 20 credits.
The Graduate Faculty in the Geology program write the questions. Faculty members from each area of specialization participate. The Graduate Faculty members who write the questions also evaluate the answers. The written examination is evaluated for content and understanding of core concepts. The oral examination is evaluated on the basis of clarity of the thesis proposal presentation and other general geology concepts. The oral examination is evaluated by the student's advisor and at least two other faculty members. The combined results of the written and oral examinations determine whether a student has qualified.
Comprehensive examinations are generally administered once annually in April. The written examination runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is proctored by a faculty member.
The Department of Geology requires an original research thesis as the culminating project in its master's degree program. The purpose is to involve each degree candidate in a field or laboratory research project in which the student gains experience in designing a project, specifying hypotheses to be tested, carrying out sampling procedures, and determining analyses results. The project is then presented in written form (typically 75-150 pages) with title page, abstract, introduction, methods, data, interpretation, tables, figures, plates, and references. Students are required to defend their theses publicly to the academic community. The defense is scheduled two weeks after the student's advisor and committee have approved the thesis document. The thesis is evaluated by a committee of two faculty members and the thesis advisor. The thesis is evaluated for both scientific content and writing style.

First post here, looking forward to using this community more.
I'm trying to figure out the "standard" way or "proper" way of doing custom HTML work within a particular page.
For example, I'm creating a page that has images floated to the left and right of text going down a page. However, I'm finding it difficult to create spacing in the page itself.
Here's a page I'm working on for example:
If you look after the "like" button, I have tried multiple things to create spacing underneath the text above the
<hr />, but no go. I have tried multiple times to create spacing within this page trying all different tags, but I've gotten to the point where now I'm not sure if there is another proper way I should be doing this?
I disabled the visual editor thinking this would fix it, but no go. Perhaps I should use TinyMCE for stuff like this? Or anyone have any recommendations for the right way to do things in editing page content spacing which should be easy with html, but is becoming more complicated here with something not sure.

See Goshen College for yourself during Indiana Private College Week, July 22-26
From July 22-26, Indiana's 31 private, non-profit colleges and universities across the state – including Goshen College – are opening their doors to students, parents and any others interested in the college selection process. Those visiting will get to experience firsthand the unique personality of each campus through tours, informational sessions and conversations with students and staff.
Goshen College will host campus tours at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. each day with a meeting with Admission and Financial Aid personnel following each tour. Register here.
A complete list of participating campuses, as well as event schedules and registration information, is available at www.icindiana.org. Although Indiana's private colleges encourage and welcome visitors throughout the year, this concentrated week offers students an opportunity to visit multiple campuses in a short period of time and without missing school.
According to research conducted by TargetX, 90 percent of high-school students interviewed about their college selection said, "I visited campus and it just felt right." The campus visit is a highly trusted source of information because a school's description on paper finally comes to life. There's no better way for students to experience the "feel" of a campus than to visit and begin to discover what their best fit for college will be.
"Students and families discover through visiting that Indiana private colleges are within reach, financially and otherwise," says Richard L. Ludwick, president & CEO of the Independent Colleges of Indiana. "ICI colleges and universities make millions of scholarship dollars available to students all four years, making top flight higher education a dream come true for tens of thousands of students. We want this week to be a gateway to discovering that dream realized."
Visitors between the ages of 16 and 20 touring ICI campuses during Private College Week will have the chance to enter a drawing for one of three Amazon Kindle Fires. Entry forms and rules will be available at each campus.
Independent Colleges of Indiana, Inc. (ICI) is a nonprofit association that represents the state's 31 private nonprofit colleges and universities. ICI member institutions enroll more than 90,000 students (approximately 20 percent of all students statewide) and annually produce 35 percent of all bachelor's degrees in Indiana.

BrewTroller calibration and programming from recipe
I decided to go down this path and hope to have my system built by March 2014. I will be using the Blichmann 20 gallon pots with electric heating in the HLT & BK. I am curious if anyone has done the system calibration runs with a similar set up (valves will be added later) and if there is an easy way to get BTP recipes into the BrewTroller program. At this point just looking at options and checking if anyone else has gone down this path.
Thanks for your time in advance.

The advisory, issued by the FAA on Thursday and circulated late on Friday, said the warning came amidst "heightened military activities and increased political tensions in the region which present an increasing inadvertent risk to U.S. civil aviation operations due to the potential for miscalculation or mis-identification".

Playing Politics: Director Jason D. Rennie Discusses "Julius Caesar"
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves…"
Julius Caesar utters this famous line in Act One of Shakespeare's tragedy, blissfully unaware that fault and fate would soon play large parts in his own destiny. In this Monday's staged reading of Julius Caesar, fault and fate are two questions Director Jason Rennie knows better than to tackle directly.
"I have always been very intrigued by the play and it took a while to figure out why I was drawn to it," says Jason. "I think it's mostly because the ambiguity is so appealing to me."
That ambiguity is what has made this particular tragedy so memorable for audiences, and at the same time so challenging for actors and directors. Even though acts of savagery abound, the clarity of right and wrong in this political arena is not so absolute. Sympathy, surprisingly, falls on the backs of unexpected characters. The lines in the sand are blurry.
While this is Jason's first foray into directing Julius Caesar, he has been through this story as an actor more than once.
"My drive to want to do this play stems from the frustration I've had as an actor," he explains, citing the questions the story raises about politics, patriotism, and power. "The play itself doesn't take one side or the other as far as the central conflict is concerned. All these characters, even the antagonists or the minor functionaries, are all drawn with ambiguity. It's plausible to see them on one side or the other of that conflict, and you can easily sympathize one way or the other."
In fact, he states, a more accurate title would probably be The Tragedy of Marcus Brutus, the character on whom most of the moral ambiguity falls during the course of the story.
"Brutus feels patriotic and wants to combat tyranny," explains Jason, "but at the same time he's thinking of committing murder. Can you ever truly justify and sanctify murder? I think none of those questions are actually answered within the play."
Shakespeare plays his political cards close to the vest on this one, which makes sense, given that the play is perceived as a veiled critique of the Elizabethan monarchy. The fascination with Rome in the late 1500s provided an apt backdrop to the perceived overreaching power of Queen Elizabeth's self-proclaimed deific reign.
"Elizabeth was starting to equate herself with that divinity and an immortal type of ruler, which was extremely hubristic," says Jason. "It was a very hot political issue at the time."
For us in modern times, the play still carries a critique – not of monarchy, necessarily, but of patriotism and the lengths to which it will be cited as justification for untoward acts.
"What is the motive when you invoke patriotism?" Jason asks. "Is it to justify an act that you personally don't feel you can stand behind without it? And who's to judge?"
Indeed, many of these questions have arisen within our current political climate, not just domestically, but globally. While Shakespeare writes sympathetic characters on both sides of the issue in Julius Caesar, the dialogue is the same as the one we are currently having around the world.
"A lot of the political issues that have been front page issues over the last few years can be boiled down to the same types of things," says Jason, commenting that Julius Caesar could be performed against a backdrop of the current political landscapes of Egypt or Syria. "It's a question of who has more power and do they deserve it?"
And with complicated questions come complicated answers. Once power is taken, what is left of the political state? It's fine to depose a king, says Jason, but what happens afterwards? In this light, he says, Julius Caesar becomes not only a tragedy, but also a cautionary tale.
Hopefully, he and his actors can shed some light on this subject, but Jason is just as wary as Shakespeare was of actually picking sides.
"Shakespeare isn't condoning or condemning a political assassination in Julius Caesar, but instead asking whether or not it is within the public's power to make the decision," clarifies Jason with a statement that, like the nature of both art and politics, perhaps generates more questions than it does answers.

Jeff Whitaker understands Auburn's situation going into the Iron Bowl.
AUBURN — Jeff Whitaker understands Auburn's situation going into the Iron Bowl. He's aware of the criticism that has been heaped on coach Gene Chizik and that the Tigers are huge underdogs going into the game with No. 2 Alabama.
The Auburn defensive tackle just doesn't need the extra motivation.
"It's Alabama-Auburn. We're not afraid because of your record or because they're Alabama," Whitaker said on Tuesday. "If there's one place that's not intimidated and afraid, it's going to be Auburn, no matter how the country looks at them. If there's one place and one team and look at them and say, 'They're just guys,' it's Auburn.
"They're doing a good job over there. We show respect for that. This rivalry was going way before me, you, coach (Nick) Saban, coach Chiz. We'll just keep this thing rolling."
The Tigers (3-8, 0-7 Southeastern Conference) are 31.5-point underdogs for Saturday's game in Tuscaloosa. The Tide (10-1, 6-1) is playing for a shot at SEC and national titles.
Auburn's preseason ambitions have been crushed under a barrage of defeats and troubles on both sides of the ball. The tough season has left uncertainty about Chizik's job status after the game two years after a national title season that included the biggest comeback in Iron Bowl history — from down 24-0 to winning 28-27.
Chizik, who wore an orange BCS championship pullover to his news conference, is making $3.58 million annually and would be owed $7.5 million via monthly installments as of Dec. 1 if he's fired.
Auburn President Jay Gogue has said he will evaluate the program after the season. Athletic director Jay Jacobs has declined requests for comment.
The Tide's Saban said it's the nature of the profession that coaches can go from a national title to the hot seat so swiftly, but praised Chizik.
"All I know is playing against him, it's always a tough game," Saban said. "They're always well coached and they're always well prepared, and that's all I can really comment about. I think that sometimes that the standard that everybody wants all of us to play to is not something that is a continuum.
"It's a process that's constantly evolving and sometimes you get a few things that happen maybe that don't go in your favor, it can affect the kind of results that you get. And some of them you can control and some of them you can't. Whether I like it or not, it is the world that we live in. I fully understand that two years from now if we don't continue to have a good team, then I'll be in the same seat that other people are in now. It's the nature of the beast in our profession."
Auburn hasn't fared well in games against highly ranked competition the past two seasons, other than a 12-10 loss to No. 8 LSU early this season. Counting last year's 42-14 Iron Bowl defeat, the Tigers have lost five SEC games by four or more touchdowns the past two seasons.
The last two SEC contests have been huge routes at home — 63-21 to No. 9 Texas A&M and 38-0 to No. 3 Georgia.
A win in this year-round rivalry certainly would improve the Tigers' mood going into the offseason.
Chizik said he expects his team's best game — and needs it to win.
"We certainly know that anything can happen in a rivalry game, but for us to be able to go and win the game we're going to have to play by far the best football game we've played all year and play it with a lot of energy and emotion and passion and play great in terms of execution as well," he said.
"We'll be ready to play, and they'll be excited about playing. They already are, and our team understands what this game means to so many people other than themselves. They understand that."
Whitaker said the Tigers also are aware of the speculation that "coach Chiz" could be fired after the season. It's not clear how much this game will factor into Gogue's decision.
"We're not even looking at it like that," Whitaker said. "The way coach Chiz has been about all this, it's been about the rivalry."

He arrived a few minutes after the hour. The new ankles are tight. His hair has a little flex to it, as does the sturdy cape. The necklace which holds the cape is very flexable. Weapons have a great rusty wash to them. Such an exciting figure!
Edit: Just remembered Pixel Dan saying the shield wouldn't clip on the wrist. The clip will fit over his forearm, like so, and still cover his hand. (see photo below.)

Blast-Attak was one of my favorite characters as a kid. I always liked his Frankenstein/cyborg appearance. I also liked that he was part of the Snakemen, as was stated in the mini-comics.
Some people have said that they think a MOTUC version would require a whole new body mold to produce a figure, but I think that much of the figure could be made of existing parts. (Of course, some of these parts don't exist yet, but I am sure they will in the near future.)
I think that "NA" Skeletor's arms and gloves attached to Trap Jaw's shoulders would work well. They could also use the legs from a New Adventures figure for Blast-Attak, such as Optikk. As for his chest armor, it could be a removable armor placed on a Hordak torso.

FieldCandy is an exciting design-led brand of tents. We are here to inject colour, creativity and fun into the camping space by offering a range of totally unexpected designs.
FieldCandy tents are fun, but they're serious too. They keep you as dry in the rain and as snug in a gale as any conventional high performance tent. And because we use good old-fashioned cotton, you don't get the condensation that comes as standard with most modern tents.
You'll find it's all very simple. And simplicity gives you more time for enjoyment.
When you order your FieldCandy tent you will receive a smart box full of goodies, including your inner tent, your designer flysheet, A-frame poles, pegs, a hammer and peg puller, a spares kit, combination padlocks, full instructions, an owner's manual and a carry bag.
FieldCandy tents are made to be remarkably easy to put up, and with very little practice it should take less than five minutes. We provide clear and simple waterproof instructions with every FieldCandy tent.
FieldCandy tents are significantly larger than most two person tents, making for a more comfortable and spacious sleeping area. Plus a separate lobby/porch area for storage or wet items.
• large porch: a great place to store those wet boots or to stack the beer - the large porch area adds plenty of space without overcrowding the inside of the tent
• heavy duty zip: we only use zips from the worlds leading zipper manufacturer YKK, your flysheet will feature a particularly heavy duty YKK zip with large inner and outer toggle protected by a Velcro zip cover
• extra strong pegs: completely different from old fashioned tent pegs, FieldCandy pegs are a new design from hardened aluminum, extra strong, designed not to bend and with a handy little hole for your custom peg puller, cool
• easy set up poles: just hold each pole at one end, give a little 'wiggle' and they slot together all by themselves... very clever and environmentally friendly, stronger and lighter than standard poles
• breathable cotton: tent is 100% natural cotton, that's breathable - result a dry and comfortable nights sleep
• spacious sleeping area: larger than other two person tents, the light grey interior creates a sleep-inducing environment for a more comfortable night
• lockable storage pockets: no tent can be 100% secure, but most thefts are opportunist - so reduce the risk with your valuables by locking them away in the four pockets that lock with the combination padlocks provided
• outer dimensions are 11.7l x 5.6w x 4.6h ft
• inner dimensions are 8.7l x 4.9w x 4.25h ft
