One of the longest standing information systems has got to be the notebook. With a notebook, you can put any idea down on paper, and get it out of your mind. Often this will give you more room for new and maybe even better ideas. Sometimes, the notebook itself can become a wonderful object in its own right. The Familiar Strangers have a great rundown of some incredible modifications for Moleskines. Inside the post are lots of example pictures, dozens of links and a bit of Make and Craft's own Becky.
If dogs are human's best friend, I dare to say Moleskines are artists' and designers' best friend. Rumors says Picasso, Matisse, and Hemingway were using their Moleskine to sketch. It was select as the best designer's sketchbook in LifeHacker. I bet many of you guys are having one in your pocket. Here in this post, TFS will discover how to customize the moleskine to better suit for designers.
Where do you park your ideas? Having a trusted system to hold onto the imaginings of your daily life is essential to developing your creativity and following through on your great ideas. Moleskines are a wonderful way to hold onto them so you can temporarily forget. Paper has a much longer holding time for ideas than the gooey stuff between our ears.
The Maker's Notebook has a ton of great features, and is nice and hackable. Your notebook can be just about anything you desire. Lights,. pockets, circuits and more.
What does your information system look like? Do you have a favorite size, shape and orientation for your notebooks? Lined, gridded or blank pages? How have you customized your notebooks? Do you like Moleskines, or is that too commercial, perhaps you would rather make your own notebook. Share your ideas with us in the comments below and add your photos and video to the Make Flickr pool.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: *All Dedicated Server Payments to bodHOST Are Non-Refundable*
bodHOST ("The Company") agrees to furnish services to the Customer, subject to the following Terms of Service (TOS).
Use of bodHOST Service constitutes acceptance and agreement to bodHOST's Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP) as well as bodHOST's Terms of Service (TOS).
All provisions of this contract are subject to the Terms of Service (TOS) of bodHOST and Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP). The AUP may be changed from time-to-time at the discretion of the Company. Customer understands that change to the AUP by the Company shall not be grounds for early service termination or non-payment.
This Agreement shall be construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the state of Illinois, county of Cook applicable to contracts enforceable in that state. Venue will be Cook County, Illinois.
bodHOST takes a zero tolerance approach to the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) or SPAM over our network. Very simply this means that customers of bodHOST may not use or permit others to use our network to transact in UCE. Customers of bodHOST may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is advertised by UCE from other networks. In addition, it is not acceptable to transmit bulk email through remote SOCKS, HTTP or other similar proxies who in turn make a SMTP (TCP port 25) connection to the destination mail servers. This technique may result in account suspension or termination. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties, including termination of service. In order to prevent unnecessary blacklisting due to spam. We reserve the right to occasionally sample bulk emails being sent from servers.
"bodHOST will not be obligated to change the IP address of your server in case the IP address gets blacklisted due to any spamming or mass emailing activities carried out from the server."
BEGINNING IMMEDIATELY, anyone hosting websites or services on their server that support spammers or cause any of our IP space to be listed in any of the various Spam Databases will have their server immediately removed from our network. The server will not be reconnected until such time that you agree to remove ANY and ALL traces of the offending material immediately upon reconnection and agree to allow us access to the server to confirm that all material has been COMPLETELY removed. Severe violations may result in immediate and permanent removal of the server from our network without notice to the customer. Any server guilty of a second violation WILL be immediately and permanently removed from our network without notice.
If bodHOST assigns Customer an Internet Protocol address for Customer's use, the right to use that Internet Protocol address shall belong only to bodHOST, and Customer shall have no right to use that Internet Protocol address except as permitted by bodHOST in its sole discretion in connection with the Services, during the term of this Agreement. bodHOST shall maintain and control ownership of all Internet Protocol numbers and addresses that may be assigned to Customer by bodHOST, and bodHOST reserves the right to change or remove any and all such Internet Protocol numbers and addresses, in its sole and absolute discretion. Our allocation of IP addresses is limited by ARIN's or APINIC new policies. These new policies state that use of IP addresses for IP based virtual hosts will not be accepted as justification for new IP addresses. What this means to you is that you MUST use name-based hosting where possible. We will periodically review IP address usage, and if we find that clients are using IP addresses where name-based hosting could be used, we will revoke authorization to use those IP addresses that could be used with name-based hosting.
bodHOST will provide individual IP address for SSL domains. To request IP for domain(s), the client has to provide the proof of purchase of the SSL certificate or the certificate itself. bodHOST reserves the rights to limit the allocation and the number of allotted additional IPs (post proper justification for IPs) and the additional IPs will not have rDNS set up. It should also be noted that bodHOST will not be obligated to provide any refunds in case the IP justification and assignment isn't covered under APNIC or ARIN's policies.
The bandwidth usage status can be obtained only in graphical format and that we can provide them via email if requested or else the invoice for overage will be generated in the following month if applicable. The bandwidth overage will be calculated using the graphical report as these are based on concrete data that we take on each port of everything on our network.
In the event that a customer exceeds the included allocation, bodHOST may, at its sole discretion, collect a deposit, in an amount determined by bodHOST, against customer's credit card on file with bodHOST or else failing to clear bandwidth overage invoice within 48 hours time will result in suspension of their services. For bandwidth over usage, bodHOST will charge $0.50 per GB of bandwidth.

Context Sensitive Solutions
"Context sensitive solutions (CSS) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach that involves all stakeholders to develop a transportation facility that fits its physical setting and preserves scenic, aesthetic, historic and environmental resources, while maintaining safety and mobility. CSS is an approach that considers the total context within which a transportation improvement project will exist."
-- Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
Inherent in Caltrans' mission to increase mobility across California is the need for context sensitive solutions that consider collaborative, community-sensitive approaches to transportation decision-making. To support these approaches the Department has adopted a number of policies that encourage the appropriate functional disciplines to respond to community values.
Directives and Guidelines
The Director's Policy on Context Sensitive Solutions (DP-22) is a Department-wide effort to create an environment in which innovative solutions can flourish through community involvement.
The Deputy Directive on Accommodating Non-Motorized Travel (DD-64) is a nother policy effort in which the Department has attempted to create an environment for innovative actions—in this case with alternative transportation. This policy directs that the Department fully consider the needs of non-motorized travelers (including pedestrians, bicyclists and persons with disabilities) in all planning, maintenance, operations and project development activities and products.
In another notable attempt to implement policies on Context Sensitive Solutions, in June 2005 the Department published the second edition of its landmark publication on Main Streets: Flexibility in Design and Operations. This joint effort of Traffic Operations, Design, and Planning was updated to provide implementation guidance, identifying concepts that might be compatible with community values while assuring safe and efficient operations for vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists and highway workers.
Community Involvement and Public Engagement
The Division of Transportation Planning (Division) envisions transportation decisions as the product of collaborative work and choices made jointly by all stakeholders. In order to ensure that this vision of collaboration is put into practice, the Office of Community Planning is encouraging efforts to enhance public engagement in planning activities. These efforts can be accessed through the "Public Participation and Engagement" efforts summarized on this web site.
As further evidence in encouraging community involvement, the Department published an interesting article in the Winter 2005 issue of the California Transportation Journal, entitled Giving Communities What They Want: Context Sensitive Solutions. This article explores how the Department is working with communities to implement CSS, an approach that "makes it possible for Caltrans to maintain its responsibilities for safe, interregional mobility while being responsive to natural, cultural and built environments."
The Office of Community Planning has also compiled a California Mainstreet Listing specifically for this purpose. This listing contains the conventional state highways that serve as the mainstreet, gateway or commercial strip of communities across California. It provides a database of potential opportunities for accommodating a community's values when discussing the implementation of the Main Streets: Flexibility in Design and Operations for projects on the appropriate conventional Main Street highways.
This California Mainstreet Listing is made available to both Department staff and communities at large to encourage interaction and partnerships. This listing can also be used as a tool to identify opportunities to enhance more "livable communities" while improving mobility and safety efforts along transportation corridors. If you would like to talk with a Department representative regarding a state highway that runs through your community, please refer to the Headquarters Staff Contact List for the appropriate District Liaison contact. If you would like to learn more about "livable communities" please visit our web site on the Definition of Livable Communities.
Nationally Recognized Program
The Department was one of three recent recipients of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' (AASHTO) Center for Environmental Excellence Best Practices in Smart Growth and Transportation 2004 Competition. The competition, cosponsored by AASHTO's Center for Environmental Excellence, along with the Federal Highway Administration, included a review of 36 applications from 21 states. In September 2004, AASHTO presented the award to Caltrans as a finalist in one of three categories. The Department won in the category of "Institutionalization or Organizational Change" for its submittal of Context Sensitive Solutions: Changing the Culture.
Other Web Sites
If you have more interest in CSS, the Department's primary contact has a website on Context Sensitive Solutions (located within the Division of Design), and this web site is a wonderful resource on this subject.
The Project for Public Spaces in collaboration with Scenic America and Federal Highway Administration Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has also created a new online peer-networking website at Context Sensitive Solutions.org. This site was developed as the Transportation community's Online Resource Center for Context Sensitive Solutions, and was created to integrate context sensitive solutions (CSS) into project planning, development, and implementation in all 50 states by September 2007. Other partners in this effort include: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO); Federal Transit Administration (FTA); Institute for Transportation Engineers (ITE); National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO); and National Park Service.
Program Contacts
If you have further questions on CSS within the Department, you may contact Carolyn Dudley within Division of Design at (916) 654-5505.

(front row, left to right) Victoria Aston (Tau Beta Pi); Jason Speights; Ariel Dickens; Darla LeBlanc (Tau Beta Pi); Irwin Gabay (standing in for his son, Samuel Gabay); Jerimiah Robbins; and Jason Kooi.
SOCORRO, N.M., May 7, 2007 – Seven New Mexico Tech students and one Tech student organization recently were honored as the recipients of this year's Student Appreciation Awards, an annual award given to students deemed to have best demonstrated leadership and service at the state-supported research university.
This year's individual winners are Tech students Ariel Dickens, Samuel Gabay, Tobias Hartman, Jason Kooi, Jerimiah Robbins, Jason Speights, and Graham Walsh.
The New Mexico Tech chapter of Tau Beta Pi, the national engineering honor society, was awarded the 2006-2007 Student Organization Appreciation Award.
Student Appreciation Award recipients are chosen at the end of each academic year on the basis of their "demonstrated service to fellow students and community, generosity of spirit, and performance above and beyond the call of duty," according to selection criteria.
Several New Mexico Tech students and student groups were nominated for the prestigious awards by their professors, campus employers, and fellow students.
This year's awardees were then chosen by the New Mexico Tech Student Appreciation Awards Committee, which is comprised of representatives from various departments and offices throughout the university campus.

MONTEVALLO, Ala. - The Georgia College women's cross country team was chosen seventh in the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Coaches Preseason Poll, but came away with a fifth place finish in the PBC Championship Saturday, Oct. 20 in Montevallo, Ala. A trio of Bobcat runners led the team.
Freshman Taylor Roeck (Cumming, Ga.) finished 15th among 91 runners in the 6K race with a time of 23:34, the second fastest 6K time in GC history. Her time puts Roeck just 26 seconds behind Allison Lones (Kathleen, Ga.), who finished the 2011 Southeast Regional in 23:08. Roeck was also named to the PBC All-Sportsmanship Team.
Lena White (Smyrna, Ga.) finished 26th, her time of 24:12 being the fifth-fastest 6K race in GC history. The Bobcats were not done with just two top-10 finishes, as Lones finished 32nd overall, with a time of 24:19, tying her own time from 2011, now the ninth fastest 6K finish in GC history.
Senior Victoria Dobson (New Hamburg, Ontario) came in 35th overall with a time of 24:35. Sophomore Whitney Sweet (Roswell, Ga.) rounded out the scoring for the Bobcats with a time of 24:58, finishing 40th overall.
The fifth place team finish is a two-slot improvement over the 2011 season, and the highest spot for GC since 2009.
The Bobcats will be back in action Nov. 3 as they travel to Charlotte, N.C. to compete in the NCAA Southeast Regional Championship.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at www.twitter.com/BobcatSports and www.facebook.com/gcbobcats for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

Our third installment of transactions-weekly-round-up-mania moves forward this sunny Sunday afternoon. The pace has slowed down considerably from last week, but the size of (some of) the moves is still considerable. The week in transactions and analysis for all the moves is yours once you follow the jump.
Florida Panthers trade JF Jacuqes to Tampa Bay for future considerations
Our first transaction of the week made zero impact on an NHL roster. The Panthers sent JF Jacuqes' rights packing to the other side of the state of Florida. Jacques himself moved from San Antonio, TX to Syracuse, NY. In 24 games for the Rampage in the AHL Jacques had seven points and 37 penalty minutes. He should give the Lightning the ability to fill in a fourth line spot in case of injury.
Blackhawks acquire Henrik Karlsson from Calgary for a 7th round pick
In their perpetual search for goaltending they can count on, the Blackhawks picked up Henrik Karlsson from the Flames for a 7th round pick. Karlsson is now with the Rockford IceHogs in case either Ray Emery or Corey Crawford fall to injury. Karlsson has played in 30 games in North America since the Flames brought him over from Sweden to a save percentage of just a hair over .900. If Chicago runs into enough injures in net that they need to rely on Karlsson their Stanley Cup chances are likely slim.
San Jose signs Scott Gomez for 700k
The Sharks are the team to take the plunge on Scott Gomez. His history in Montreal is well known at this point. The Canadiens asked him to not come to camp, and the NHL allowed his buyout to go through now instead of in the off season. In his first game with the Sharks, Todd McLellan used Gomez in incredibly high leverage situations. He held his own. If the Sharks are able to get similar performances going forward it won't take very long for his deal to become a steal.
Rangers trade Chad Kolarik to Pittsburgh for Benn Ferriero
The Rangers and Penguins swapped AHLers this week. The Rangers send Chad Kolarik to the Penguins for Benn Ferriero. Ferriero was immediately put in the Rangers lineup. After a distinguished college career and solid AHL success he could find a home with the Rangers. They've been mining the NCAA for years now, and no doubt have a thick book on Ferriero.
Stars sign Jamie Benn
The Dallas Stars locked up franchise cornerstone Jamie Benn to a five year deal worth 26.25 million dollars. Benn's season debut will be Monday night if his visa paperwork goes through as expected Monday morning.
Benn's contract is more of a bargain than those signed by contemporaries Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall. Hall and Eberle signed long term deals for six million a year. Benn will be coming in at a hair over five, but he will have the ability to hit free agency before either of the Oilers young stars which should give him the ability to maximize his earnings a little more.
The Stars anticipate that Benn will center Ray Whitney and Michael Ryder when he enters the lineup.
Flyers sign Mike Knuble
Mike Knuble returned to the Flyers on a one year deal. Knuble did the bulk of his damage as a pro in his four seasons with the Flyers in the middle of the last decade. In four years as a Flyer, Knuble scored 114 goals. He returns in a limited support role to, presumably, finish his career with one last shot at the Cup.
Oilers claim Niko Hovinen off waivers from Flyers
The final transaction of the week comes to us courtesy of the Oilers. Edmonton claimed goaltender Niko Hovinen off waivers from the Flyers. Hovinen has struggled this season in the ECHL with a save percentage that begins with an 8. 24 year old goalies struggling in the ECHL are covered in red flags, but he was very solid his last three years in Finland. The Oilers hope that, with some more experience, he could be useful depth.

Saturday, 16th August saw the annual Gap Jam occur at Meanwhile 2 in London.
The infamous gap has seen some beastly tricks popped over it in years gone by. This years jam celebrated the "rebirth" of the Meanwhile park with a new street section finished, ready for a rinse out by local talent.
The Crossfire crew put some money up for grabs to be dished out for best street tricks, best transfer from the new to old and, finally, best trick over the gap. Riders from The UK Hubba team, Blueprint, Death, Gyppo Army, Landscape and a whole host of others turned up and went off big style.
Bristol heads were representing in the Big Smoke with Nicky Howells and Dave Snaddon ripping all day long, whilst Chris Oliver turned up and frontside flipped from the hip to flat, clearing the park wall in the process.
After a few technical hitches Zac got the sound system kicked into life and the transfer session saw some heated action. Gyppo Army's Aaron Sweaney continued his recent concrete onslaught by smashing over a massive backside 360 from the new quarter into the bowl to take home some cash.
The Gap session was up last and Dan Wileman popped a bigspin flip over after a few close calls. I called it a day soon after and chipped off, later to hear I missed a last ditch backside flip from the feet of Snaddon. Didn't see that one coming, serious moves on the up. Just gutted I missed it.—Will Greenfield

Rory Cellan-Jones recently had the following to say about billmonitor on his BBC blog dot.Rory:
Any idea whether you're getting a good deal from your mobile phone contract? No, me neither - but according to a group of Oxford mathematicians behind a start-up firm called Billmonitor, we are collectively wasting nearly £5bn a year by being on the wrong deal.
11th April, 2011
Three-quarters of mobile phone subscribers are wasting an average of nearly £200 a year because they are on the wrong contract, research suggests. Mathematical group [and Oxford-based business] Billmonitor analysed more than 28,000 bills for the study.
"BillMonitor has become the first mobile phone comparison site to be accredited by the communications regulator Ofcom."
"Check Ofcom approved sites like billmonitor.com, which do a great job of telling you about the sort of deals you should be looking for."
"billmonitor was reviewed on BBC Working Lunch (Gillian Lacey-Solymar)"
11th April, 2011
A series of vox pop interviews with members of the UK public, inspired by our national billmonitor mobile report.
"[billmonitor says] three-quarters of mobile subscribers pay for more minutes than they need because of fears over big and unpredictable bills. Newsbeat caught up with some listeners to find out their views on mobile phone bills.
Shauna O'Neill, 21: "My contract is £35 a month. I get 1200 minutes - there's no way I ever use any of them. I think I probably use about 200 minutes a month, but I'm not allowed to change my tariff."

Billmonitor featured in The Times. Read the full article by following the link below.
11th April, 2011
"Only 24% of people are "not wasting anything", according to Billmonitor, set up by mathematicians in Oxford, which compiled the figures after analysing nearly 28,500 anonymous mobile phone bills. The overspend figure [for the remaining 76%] equates to almost half their spending every year on their mobile phone, or an average of £195, compared with an average spend of £439 annually."
"Ofcom today said BillMonitor was awarded its price accreditation scheme logo after meeting the terms of a rigorous independent audit, which checks whether information given to consumers is accessible, accurate, transparent, comprehensive and up to date…. Consumers supply details of their bills and the website analyses them for a tailored recommendation."
"Fortunately, last week's launch of billmonitor.com will [tell you whether you have the best tariff for you]. It is the first site endorsed by Ofcom, and claims 82% of us are on plans with inclusive minutes we don't use, and that 88% of us could save 39% on our bills - worth £197 a year. This comes with operators under scrutiny over how they have been milking consumers through roaming and termination charges. But that may now be starting to change."

Billmonitor featured as the tool to save money on the mobile bills.
11th April, 2011
"Millions of mobile phone users are paying almost £200 a year too much for 'locked in' packages of calls, texts and downloads, a study shows. They are being fooled into forking out extra because they cannot find the best option among a bewildering array of about 10million handset and service combinations. In total, subscribers are wasting money by being on the wrong contract, a study by Billmonitor, an Ofcom approved bill-analysis service, discovered.â€
"Its computers, developed by a team from the University of Oxford, are able to search through more than 10 million possible tariff and handset combinations. The website's research shows that the vast majority of people on a contract has a package of calls and other services that is too large for their typical monthly use. As a result they are paying for services they never use."
11th April, 2011
Three in four people are wasting an average of £200 a year by being on the wrong mobile phone deal, according to Billmonitor. This Oxford-based research group analysed more than 28,000 phone bills and concluded we are wasting more than £5bn a year.
11th April, 2010
"Prof Chris Holmes and Dr Nicolai Meinshausen, both from Oxford [and co-founders of billmonitor], analysed over 28,000 bills from customers on the major mobile networks. They then compared those to the more than 8.5 million mobile phone contract combinations that are currently on offer. Prof Holmes, who also works on the link between genetics and diseases, said that analysing the data was as challenging as his other research."
"BillMonitor continuously tracks the market, keeping up to date on the thousands of tariffs from UK mobile operators. This information is matched with each customer's usage so that the site can recommend the best deal available to them. There are also tips on using mobile phones abroad."
"The site will run through every call, text and byte of data on your bill, working out the cost on each tariff. By taking into account details such as free minutes, off-peak calling and charge limits, it can then show you the 12 tariffs that could save you the most money."
10th April, 2011
"More than three quarters of all U.K. mobile phone users on a contract are on the wrong one, over paying by an average of nearly £200 a year, according to a report published today by the mobile phone site Billmonitor…
The company, backed by research from two Oxford maths dons, calculates that more than half of all users have a tariff that is far too large for them. One quarter of users have a tariff too small.â€
11th April, 2011
"The research by price comparison website billmonitor, found that 40 per cent of mobile subscribers opted for a calling allowance that was too large, typically using only about a quarter of the calling time that was paid for. The group could save a cumulative £2.62bn, by switching to cheaper contracts, said billmonitor, which is endorsed by telecoms regulator Ofcom."
"[billmonitor] offers consumers a robust, independent means of comparing the huge number of tariffs and deals in the mobile market."
"A new way to work out what's best has been launched by scientists at Oxford University funded with government cash… its monthly bill-tracking facility allows users with online billing to give the site to access their past bills and recommend a better plan."
11th April, 2011
Interestingly, Billmonitor's research revealed that the most cost effective contract length is 24 months, as opposed to 12 or 18. However, some customers may wish to pay more for a shorter contract length as they may want to avoid being locked into a contract for two years.
Visitors to the site input their mobile phone number, online username and password for the account they hold with their operator. The site then extracts three months' worth of phone bills to analyse and compare them to other tariffs and offers on the market.
11th April, 2011
UK mobile phone users waste billions of pounds a year because they are on the wrong contracts, according to a report today. The study, conducted by Ofcom-approved bill analysis service Billmonitor, estimates we spend an average of £195 more each than we need to every year.

"There are enough mobile phone price comparison sites out there that someone should launch a price comparison comparison site. Except that they don't need to, because Bill Monitor is simply the best. "
11th May, 2011
"The European Union has made it illegal for any mobile-phone operator to offer contracts that are longer than 24 months. The rule, brought into force on 1 May this year, will have little effect on Brits, though, because only one UK network has recently offered a 36-month contract, according to the founder and director of BillMonitor, Dr Stelios Koundouros.
11th April, 2011
"billmonitor makes a startling comparison: the Olympic Games in 2012 are likely to cost the UK around £9bn, yet we're merrily dribbling away £4.9bn a year needlessly on our mobile tariffs. The survey might seem somewhat self-serving, given that billmonitor runs an online service designed to help people choose the right tariff. We've covered the company before though -- it knows its shizzle when it comes to tariff-crunching, and this data is based on proper analysis of real bills.
"Even if you're not thinking of switching, BillMonitor is great for dissecting your mobile usage in a way that's much clearer than most networks' bills."
11th April, 2011
Billmonitor got its statistics from analysis of 28,417 anonymised phone bills. Interestingly, the research showed that people in the UK spend around £1.36bn each year on roaming calls, texts and data usage £443m on data roaming alone.
"I was impressed with the accuracy and clarity, as well as the number of tariffs that show in results. It gives you a lot of information about how the costs break down in a way that is reassuring and easy to take in."
"BillMonitor helps you find the best mobile deal. It does this by doing two things. First, it works out how much you actually use your phone – and what you use it for most (whether it's calling, texting, data transfer or making international calls). It then takes this data and applies it to the thousands of phone tariffs that are on the market, and works out what the best deal for you would be."
"BillMonitor plans to cut your mobile bill"
11th April, 2011
"Wasting £195 each is a lot of money when considering our average spend is £439 per year. The problem is how to get people onto the right contracts - not easy considering there are 8.5 million mobile tariffs to choose from. The study [by billmonitor] took the tariffs and the cost of the handset, comparing this to the actual cost of people's usage to find the gap."
11th April, 2011
"Billmonitor claims the figures from its National Mobile Report are pretty accurate because they were obtained from real (anonymised) customer bills, almost 30,000 of them. So what does BM define as wasted money from being on the "wrong†tariff. Basically, the right tariff is the deal a customer should be on to comfortably cover their actual usage of minutes, text and data."
11th April, 2011
"Mobile phone operators are raking in an extra £5 billion a year from customers who are on the wrong contract. Research from Billmonitor has revealed that many people over-estimate their phone usage and sign up for packages with more minutes, texts and data allowance than they need."
11th April, 2011
"Billmonitor points out that of the £3.47bn spent outside allowances, half is accounted for by the top 5 per cent of customers. That means some people are throwing away a huge amount on money, having already purchased a contract. It is probably worth checking out billmonitor if you are thinking of changing tariff and don't want to get ripped off, as they run an online service designed to help people choose the right one for you."
"The best [comparison site for mobile deals] I've come across is BillMonitor.com (the only one to have an Ofcom approved calculator). It takes a look at your average monthly bill and works out if there's a more suitable deal elsewhere, or you can simply enter your average usage in terms of minutes and texts to compare the cheapest tariffs."
"BillMonitor will automatically analyse your bill based on actual recorded usage and come up with suggestions. This is rather clever since most of us have no clue what we go really through in an average month."

James Shields or David Price: Tampa Bay Rays are Ready to Trade an Ace
Thursday November 8th, 2012
Bernie Olshansky: With center fielder B.J. Upton most likely leaving for free agency, the Tampa Bay Rays will have some gaps to fill in their lineup this offseason. Unless they sign a high-profile free agent like Josh Hamilton (which I discussed in my last feature), the Rays will need to make a move to land a bat. The Rays have a solid pitching staff. Some may even say they have a pitching surplus. With David Price and James Shields leading the staff that includes Jeremy Hellickson and Matt Moore, the Rays can say that pitching is their strength. Out of all these pitchers, one should probably be traded though in order to boost the offense.
The two pitchers that would carry the most trade value on the staff are Shields and Price. Hellickson and Moore are both young and somewhat unproven, so they would probably not provide much of a return. Shields is a pitcher I compare to Mat Latos, who was traded to the Cincinnati Reds from the San Diego Padres last offseason. The Padres cashed in big time. For Latos, the they got a haul including Edinson Volquez, the projected number two starter in the Reds' rotation at the time, Yonder Alonso, a top prospect, and Yasmani Grandal, another prospect and first-round pick. If the Rays traded Shields and got a deal similar to that of the Padres, they would be set up quite nicely for future success.

Author Notes: Think a perfectly flaky pie crust is impossible without butter? Think again. This pie crust is totally authentic and yet totally dairy free—all thanks to the magic of coconut oil. —Gena Hamshaw
Makes: a double crust for smaller pie pans or a single crust with lattice topping for deep-dish pie pans
Prep time: 20 min
2 1/4
cups all purpose flour
cup (more as necessary) coconut oil, cool enough to be solid
teaspoon salt
tablespoon cane or demerara sugar
1/3 - 1/2
cups ice water
In This Recipe
- I like to use a food processor for my pie crusts, which would make some crust connoisseurs cringe, but is fast and easy. Start by placing the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the S blade. Pulse to combine. Add your solid coconut oil and pulse until mixture is crumbly and will stick together when you squeeze it. Pulse in 1/3 cup water, or until the dough holds together well when you make a handful of it and is visibly starting to come together in the food processor. It's fine to have a lot of crumbs still—that'll make a good, flaky crust—but it should be easy to shape into a large ball, too. If necessary, add a little more water until the texture is right. Alternately, you can cut the oil into very small pieces and work them into the flour with bare, dry hands. Add the water and knead the whole mixture together until it has the texture described a moment ago.
- Turn dough onto a clean, dry surface that has been dusted with flour. If you're not ready to use the crust, shape it into a flat ball, wrap with saran, place in a freezer bag, and freeze. If you are ready to use it but not this very second, you can store it in the fridge till it's time to bake.
- When you are ready to use the crust, make sure it's soft enough to roll, and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a large circle—enough that you can imagine easily covering your pie pan—using extra flour to keep things from sticking as you go. Gingerly lift it onto your pie crust (little tears are fine, and you can fix them later). Squeeze the edges to make a pretty, puckered pattern. Refrigerate crust till you have the filling made and are ready to bake it.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

SQLite database format
From ForensicsWiki
Revision as of 06:49, 30 October 2013 by Joachim Metz (Talk | contribs)
Please help to improve this article by expanding it.
SQLite databases are used by many programs including several forensics tools, e.g. Autopsy 3. SQLite 3 is current and older SQLite packages cannot use sqlite3 databases so use sqlite3 tools.
SQLite version 3 uses a page-based storage where the pages are used for various types of data e.g. there are:
- lock-byte pages
- freelist pages
- freelist trunk pages
- freelist leaf pages
- B-tree pages
- table B-tree interior pages
- table B-tree leaf pages
- index B-tree interior pages
- index B-tree leaf pages
- payload overflow pages
- pointer map pages
Write-Ahead Log (WAL)
The default method by which SQLite implements atomic commit and rollback is a rollback journal. In version 3.7.0 a "Write-Ahead Log" option was added.
Use Cases
Web Browser Data
Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome both use SQLite version 3 databases for user data such as history, downloaded files.

Why do you put your name on the side of your truck? Probably to advertise your business, right?
You've no doubt worked hard to develop a reputation as an honest, hardworking, conscientious individual or company. People count on you to get a shipment from one point to another, safely and on time. Your word is your bond.
Your company thrives on repeat business and when customers see your truck drive onto their lot, they know they are in good hands, right? Well, your name is just as important when it comes to managing your personal finances, especially when it comes to your credit.
When people abuse their credit, lenders are reluctant to give them a second or third chance to prove themselves. Over the past year, we have seen lenders suffer devastating losses from a variety of loan programs gone bad. Both lenders and borrowers share the blame for overlooking inherent risks and being lured by quick, easy money. As a result, we are now left with extremely tight loan requirements, at least for the foreseeable future.
Your ability to borrow money for that new truck your business needs – or for the new car that your family needs – will largely be determined by your previous credit history. Increasingly, the importance of one's credit history is extending beyond just a home or car loan. Credit histories are now on the Internet.
- If you are seeking additional freight business, your credit score could be a factor.
- Your ability to expand your business or to buy a new truck may be more difficult in the future.
- The interest rate of that plastic in your wallet is tied directly to your credit.
- If your wife is seeking a new job, her credit history (which most likely is tied to yours) will probably be examined for review prior to employment offers.
- When your insurance company updates your insurance quotes every year, in some states they recheck your credit history and base their charges on what they see.
Stress from years of handling difficult financial affairs can wear on a person's body, which is why life insurance companies look at credit ratings. It's important to your overall health to manage your credit with the same dedication that you devote to maintaining your truck.
Getting debt free and living debt free is easier than you think. For independent truckers, it is much like making the decision to head out on the road alone. You no doubt remember the feeling you experienced when you converted to an independent for the first time.
Becoming debt free is similar. Here are five easy steps:
- Develop a budget.
- Eliminate any unnecessary expenses.
- Use excess cash to pay down debt.
- Cancel high-rate credit cards.
- Have at least six months cash in reserves before easing up on the tight budget controls.
Without a doubt, the feeling of joy experienced by getting oneself debt free is unlike anything else. Life decisions become easier because you are making them based on good financial reasoning, not because creditors are hounding you. The liberation you feel from certain days of the month when former credit card payments were due will be exhilarating. Knowing that you can pay cash for important purchases rather than racking up more debt is sure to put a smile on your face.
The journey to a secure, debt-free lifestyle is much like setting out on the open road, unsure of what may lie ahead, but confident that you'll get there. And when you do, that name on the side of your truck will look a whole lot bigger. LL

About PPID
The Jaffna peninsula can be claimed as the seat of knowledge and learning of the Eastern and Northern Provinces of Sri Lanka. The Jaffna peninsula is divided into three geographical zones; namely Thenmarachchi, Vadamarachchi, and Valikamam.
The main town of Vadamarachchi is Point Pedro, which is also the northern-most town of Sri Lanka. The hallmark of Vadamarachchi is its learned citizens. Historically, Vadamarachchi has produced some of the best brains of Sri Lanka. However, due to the quarter century of civil war, almost all the learned persons have deserted to other parts of the country or abroad. This is not a tragic experience of Jaffna alone, but of the entire Eastern and Northern Provinces.
It is in this background, an independent private social science research institution in the name of Point Pedro Institute of Development (PPID) was established in 2004, in order to resurrect the knowledge and intellectual bases of the Eastern and Northern Provinces. The PPID is the only institution focusing on regional aspects of economic development in Sri Lanka and has the highest number of peer reviewed scholarly social scientific publications per researcher in any institution in Sri Lanka
The Point Pedro Institute of Development (PPID) marks a milestone in 2019 as it is fifteen years since its founding in 2004. The Point Pedro Institute of Development (PPID) has undertaken incisive, insightful, and foresightful policy research during the past fifteen years (2004-2019) of its existence.
Our research foresaw the electoral defeat of the President Rajapaksa in June 2014 due to the lack of economic peace dividend in the conflict-affected provinces which was realised in January 2015. http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10708-015-9637-3 https://rdcu.be/2s1n
Our survey results contested the causes of boat migration (to Australia from Sri Lanka) attributed by an Australian refugee advocate in 2013 and the Australian Government toughened its policy on boat migration in the same year. http://www.epw.in/discussion/boat-migration-australia.html-0
We exposed and argued the case against military enterprises in Northern Sri Lanka in 2010 and the military expenditure in the Northern Provincial economy was cut-back to second place in 2012 as a proportion of the provincial economy for the first time in decades. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09584935.2011.565313
The PPID logically predicted, backed-up by empirical evidence, the demise of the LTTE in 2006 and it happened in 2009. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01436590701507628#.U8nX9kDm5eY
We proposed a cap on the annual Government Budget deficit in 2001-2002 and the Fiscal (Management) Responsibility Act was enacted in 2003. http://www.epw.in/commentary/sri-lanka-budget-2001-social-agenda-vs-military-development.html
We logically argued, backed-up by empirical evidence, the case for free trade between India and Sri Lanka in 1993 and the Governments of India and Sri Lanka inked a bilateral Free Trade Agreement (albeit partial) in 1998 that came into operation in 2000. http://www.epw.in/special-articles/contraband-trade-and-unofficial-capital-transfers-between-sri-lanka-and-india.html

LINCOLN — A Lincoln man is being treated at the University of Vermont Medical Center with what Vermont State Police called "serious injuries" after falling from a cliff near the West Vista Trail in Lincoln during the evening of Thursday, July 7.
Police were called to the scene at around 11 p.m. on word that a hiker, identified as 30-year-old Matthew Dibley, had fallen around 30 feet from a cliff — an incident that had rendered him unconscious.
A statewide search and rescue protocol inspired by an Addison County tragedy has passed the Vermont House and Senate and been sent to the Governor's office to be signed into law.
The effort to restructure the state's search and rescue practices was launched by Rep. Willem Jewett, D-Ripton, after the hypothermia death of Levi Duclos, a 19-year-old New Haven resident. Duclos died on a Ripton hiking trail after Vermont State Police failed to initiate a ground search for more than 12 hours after he was reported missing on a frigid night in January 2012.
MONTPELIER — The Vermont Senate Government Operations Committee last Wednesday unanimously approved the Search and Rescue Bill, H.182, clearing the way for its passage in the full Senate as early as this week. However, the Vermont House must approve amendments made by the Senate committee before the new search and rescue protocol can be signed into law by the governor.

MONTPELIER — When Vermont Senate Government Operations Committee chair Sen. Jeannette White, D-Windham, opened a hearing on H.182, the Search and Rescue Bill, last Wednesday she gave a nod toward Carol Ault and Kathy Duclos, who were seated in the cramped hearing room.
The two women are aunts of Levi Duclos, the 19-year-old New Haven man whose death while hiking in January 2012 launched public demand for a change in search and rescue procedures.
MONTPELIER — The Vermont Search and Rescue bill, H.182, is moving forward through the Legislature. After substantially bolstering the bill proposed by a summer study committee, the House Government Operations committee last Thursday approved the bill and passed it on to the House Appropriations Committee.
Appropriations the next day voted out the bill with only a minor technical change.
MONTPELIER — The Vermont House Governmental Operations committee has begun considering legislation to improve the way law enforcement agencies and emergency service personnel respond to calls of lost hikers, skiers and boaters.
MONTPELIER — The Search and Rescue Strategic Plan Development Committee has completed its work, approving recommendations and proposed statutory changes to be presented to the upcoming Legislative session. Rep. Willem Jewett, D-Ripton, and former state police search and rescue team leader Jocelyn Stohl abstained from the vote taken at the Committee's fourth and final meeting in Montpelier Oct. 24.
MONTPELIER — Vermont Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Patrick Berry delivered a well-orchestrated message to the Legislature's Search and Rescue Strategic Plan Development Committee last week: The Shumlin administration has determined that search and rescue in Vermont will remain under the primary jurisdiction of the Vermont State Police.
MONTPELIER — The Search and Rescue Strategic Plan Committee pressed forward with its legislative mandate to restructure search and rescue management in Vermont at the second of its five scheduled meetings in Montpelier last Wednesday.
MIDDLEBURY — Two Addison County residents will help draft a new Vermont search-and-rescue policy in the aftermath of the Levi Duclos tragedy.
Participating on the new search and rescue committee created by the Legislature that will help craft that policy will be Rep. Willem Jewett, D-Ripton, and David Shaw, assistant chief of the Middlebury Volunteer Fire Department.

Product Description
Beautiful sunsets, a foreign animal- and plant-world, the scent of fine spices is in the air. The Far East has always magically attracted adventurers, soldiers of fortune, and explorers as well as traders and merchants.
For about 400 years merchants in different countries organized themselves into companies in order to send large shipping fleets to the Far East.
They expected rich profits from these trips, because spices such as pepper and nutmeg were worth their weight in gold.
Batavia takes the players to the Golden Age of the East India companies. Whoever can travel to the stations with the most lucrative goods can get the best varieties and rake in the gold by the end of the game.

Once upon a time, there was a game called Moderne Zeiten. And it was good. And it was designed by Dan Glimne and Grzegorz Rejchtman and featured artwork by Franz Vohwinkel and an economic theme about industries in the Roaring Twenties. And lo and behold, Queen Games hath reimplemented Moderne Zeiten, and called it Batavia. And it was still good. It was still designed by Dan Glimne and Grzegorz Rejchtman. But now it featured artwork by Michael Menzel, and a trading theme about the spice island trade in the Far East. And that made it better. Or did it?
In the game of Batavia, players are merchants who use ships (including the ship Batavia!) to visit the trading posts of the five East India Companies throughout Asia (including the city Batavia!). By playing Ship cards, you can gain "majorities", which will earn you the right to different commodities, which in turn will translate to money that will win the game! So go ahead and hop back in time on the good ship Batavia, and head to the city of Batavia to see if you can make some lucrative profits as part of the spice trade!
- great components and fantastic artwork
- very interesting mechanics, different
- quick game play
- good interaction
- easy rules
- very balanced (different ways of scoring)
- theme doesn't seem to fit mechanics
- not easy to teach, need to see entire game working together
Is Batavia for you? As always, that's going to be a matter of taste, but one of the strengths of Batavia is that it has something about it that gives it a unique flavour. It's not going to be an outstanding or innovative or deep gamers game by any means, and it wouldn't be fair to judge it as such. It will primarily appeal to people who are looking for a good medium/light-medium weight game that can be played in under an hour, that isn't too brain burning and yet still allows good tactical decision making, and has high production value and solid interaction. Since these are precisely the elements that many gamers are looking for, the good ship Batavia might just be well worth taking a closer look!

I was instantly hooked by the 'bits factor', I must confess, having a weakness for art-deco posterwork and Zeppelins, but the game itself is a nice little number too.
It's easy to explain the mechanics and it plays nice and quickly so it can easily slot in to a spare chunk of an evening. The actual play is one of those examples where you think, 'is that *it*?' in a 'why did I spend money on *this*?' way, but subsequently find out there's a great deal more to think about than you first noticed. First run through it's difficult to see quite what you should be doing, but some sort of strategy should pop into your head soon so it doesn't need long in play before it's any fun (and I'm quite sure the strategic depth is deeper than I've plumbed to date, so it shouldn't wear out too quickly either).
Nothing in the mechanics is especially novel or obviously screaming out how clever it is, but it all slots together very well and is highly playable. The good feelings in play are enhanced by yet another good art job from Franz Vohwinkel, capturing the energy and optimism of the 'Modern Times' very well. And anything with Zeppelins for playing pieces is clearly ahead of the pack!
I've 'only' given it 4 stars because though it's a fine game IMHO I see it as more of an exquisite aperitif rather than a solid main course. But theer's nothing wrong with that!
Moderne Zeiten is another one of those German games that manages to wrap a tremendous amount of tough decisions and tension into a simple set of rules -- from the card auction to the scoring -- and a cleverly designed gameboard. From beginning to end, players must plot their card display and movement very carefully in order to pursue their strategy, and remain mindful of sudden opportunites and alternative strategies as play progresses. There are sneaky little 'gotcha' tactics for safe guarding your follow-on moves or denying an opponent an important location on the matrix. Usually, the decision by a player to trigger or not to trigger a stock market crash not only makes a difference on that turn, but has impact on future turns as well.
All this puts a tremendous importance on the auction phase. Since the high bid wins all the cards up for auction (1-6 cards, depending on the die roll), it is sometimes worth winning the auction to deny cards to an opponent more than procuring those cards for yourself.
And I've found at least one make-or-break auction in every game where I had to commit heavily in order to be competitive. I once bid $15 million of my $16 million on hand in order to get 4 cards, but after winning with that bid, I was able to trigger a market crash (knocking out my majority in automobile shares), and with my new majority in the shipping industry, I secured both that industry on the matrix (3 victory points) and the majority in the city of Paris (4 victory points), and ultimately won the game by a single point.
It's fun, plays in less than an hour, and the components are outstanding, right down to the little zeppelin markers.
I am more than pleased with Moderne Zeiten, and it has already become one of my favorite games after just four playings.
Highly recommended.

In horse racing parlance this one is by Tutankhamun out of Acquire. Conjure up any mental pictures? I thought not, so let's begin with the heart of the scoring system. This is a 6x5 grid in which the rows correspond to internationally famous cities and the columns to important areas of industrial activity in the 1920s -- cars, ships, aircraft, etc. During the game players will place markers on the squares of this grid and at the end will score points for each row and column in which they are either first or first equal, and to make things a bit more interesting the different rows and columns are worth different numbers of points. That is the set of genes from Acquire. Those from Tutankhamun come from the fact that round this grid is a spiral of 30 spaces, one for each of the squares in the grid. Players move along this spiral and "claim" each square that they land on. Movement is always in the same direction and you can't land on a space which someone else has already claimed. Also, again much as in Tutankhamun, it is likely that by the end of the game not all the spaces will have been claimed and how quickly or slowly you move along will be an important part of your strategy.
Movement is determined by shareholdings in the various industries. You begin the game with 8 share cards, dealt from the deck, and during the game will have the opportunity to buy more at auction. However, this accumulation process isn't one way traffic, because whenever the total number of cards on display hits a certain limit, there will be a stock market crash and all open cards in one or more of the industries will be removed. Causing these crashes at times when other people will be hit harder than yourself is an important part of the tactics.
On your turn you may
- either draw two new share cards from the deck
- or play share cards from your hand and move your playing piece.
If you do the first, that is all you do this turn and since that implies you won't be placing one of your markers on the scoring grid, this is very much the fall-back option, the one you choose when you can't usefully do anything else. Normally your choice will be the second one. With this you first have the opportunity of playing cards from your hand to add to the share holdings that you have displayed in front of you. You can play as many or as few cards as you wish and can play them in whichever industries you wish. For each card that you play, the marker on the track that records the total number of cards on display is advanced by one space. That done, you move your playing piece (an engaging model Zeppelin). Here your options are determined by the industries in which you have more shares on display than any of your rivals. If there is only one of these, your piece moves to the next vacant space on the spiral which displays the picture for that particular industry. You then place a large marker on the space you have arrived at (so that after you leave it people will know that it has already been claimed) and a smaller one on the corresponding position on the scoring grid. If you are the leader in more than one industry, you may move to the next space on the spiral for any of them.
If your card play has sent the stock market index past its limit, then, after you have placed your markers, the market will crash. At this point you count how many cards are on display for each of the industries and all those belonging to the industry which has the most disappear to the discard pile. In the event of a tie for first, all the industries involved in the tie lose their displayed cards. The stock market index is then reset to the new total, ready to start rising again towards the next crash.
When everyone has had a turn, the round ends and a new one begins. This starts with an auction in which a die is rolled and this number of shares put up for sale as a block. Bidding goes round the table until all players bar one have dropped out. This person takes the shares and becomes the start player for the new round. The money they have paid for the shares is distributed to their opponents -- much as it would be in Traumfabrik, save that the player just deals it out beginning with their left-hand opponent and continuing until there is none left.
The game ends when one player reaches the "all industries" space at the end of the spiral and then you score your points. The player with most money scores 3 points. For each industry, the player with the most tabelled shares scores 1 point, and 1 point also goes to the player who reached the last space. Then you look at the grid, where the columns correspond to individual industries and the rows to cities. Being sole leader in a column nets you 3 points and you get 1 if you are in a tie for the lead. The rows vary in value, from 1 for New Orleans up to 6 for New York, but the same principle applies. You get the points stated if you are the sole leader, but only 1 if you are only joint leader. The player with most points wins and there is no tiebreaker.
I like this game a lot and, while that wasn't a universal view in Essen, it was with the rest of our party in the hotel. It is just about the perfect length for its content and contains more subtleties than are apparent when it is first explained. These are partly the result of the differences in the scoring between sole leader and joint leader and partly down to what happens in the aftermath of a crash. A final score of 15 would almost certainly be enough to win and so picking up 6 for New York or 5 for London would put you well on your way. That gives you some initial targets and also some things that you need to stop your rivals achieving. However, getting majorities in a row or column on the grid isn't just a matter of banging down the markers. You have to gain the stock majorities and manoeuvre your way to the right positions on the track before you can put your marker where you want it. That, together with keeping an eye on and reacting to what the opposition is up to, gives you a fair amount to think about.
Then there are the crashes. It will be a few rounds before the first one occurs, but after that they are much more frequent. In many games of this "points for first place in a sector" variety, players can build up holdings which will either prevent or deter a challenge. That is not so here, because of the way shareholdings can be destroyed. This keeps things fluid and fluid implies interesting. After the first crash the next is never going to be far away and trying to ensure that it happens at a time and on terms that suit you is another thing that will keep you alert and occupied.
A lot of care and thought has gone into the development of this game and it shows, with the various ideas nicely balanced and with each of them pulling its weight. The result is fast moving and good fun. Plus, there are the Zeppelins.
Each board space represents one of six cities and one of five industries. Everyone starts with eight shares, plus $15. A die roll determines the number of Share cards revealed for auction. Highest bidder wins and distributes his bid money to the other players. Players continue the round with one turn each to draw two Shares or to lay faceup any number of Shares. Control an industry by displaying more of its shares than your rivals can. Permanently claim a City/Industry space by moving your pawn to the next unclaimed space showing an industry you control. A Market Crash occurs when too many shares have been laid: Discard all cards of the Industry leading in Shares, and restart the count.
Play ends when someone reaches Finish. Earn points for ending play, for Industries you control, for the highest monetary total, for having claimed most of a city's five Industries, and for holding a majority in each Industry. Highest score wins. Tough decisions and plenty of stress make this game truly suited for modern times!

Clarkson University Receives $120,000 from Alcoa Foundation in Support of "Mytholympic Games"
The Alcoa Foundation recently awarded Clarkson University $120,000 over a three-year period in support of the "Mytholympic Games," a K-12 outreach program that will engage local high school students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematic (STEM) related areas.
The three-year project aims to engage at least 120 North Country high school students (40 students per year) in learning opportunities at the college level.
The project, "Mytholympic Games" is a competition based on the popular television show "MythBusters," in which students work in teams of "Mythletes" to either bust or confirm a myth challenge designed by a team of Clarkson professors.
A different myth will be posed each year. Each team will prepare a video presentation explaining the results of their research, which will later be presented at Clarkson.
The $120,000 grant from Alcoa will be used to support Clarkson undergraduate student mentors who will work with each team.
Clarkson will make available to each K-12 team participant a four-year, $1,000-per-year scholarship. An additional four-year, $4,000-per-year scholarship will be made available to each member of the winning team.
"Clarkson is dedicated to further engaging and educating North Country high school students in STEM-related fields," said Clarkson University President Tony Collins. "This generous grant from the Alcoa Foundation will allow Clarkson to provide talented and ambitious high school students with the tools and knowledge they need to apply their STEM skills to a project that explores real-life questions."
For more information on the "Mytholympic Games," please contact Shane Rogers, assistant professor of civil & environmental engineering, at 315-268-6501 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through more than 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health professions, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Shissler Rec Center opened its new "sprayground" Thursday and the preschool students who graduated just before the fountains turned on, along with their friends and family, took to it immediately. Within minutes kids were running and shrieking through the water and splashing in the sprayground's plant feature. Exactly what project leaders hoped for.
The sprayground is part of the Mural Arts program's Restored Spaces Initiative and part of the Shissler Greenway and Impressions of the Delaware series within that initiative. It is the result of tremendous collaboration and years of brainstorming just what to do with the previously vacant space to the side of the Shissler Rec Center.
To date, the Mural Arts series added colorful murals and and community-produced art to the rec center's exterior walls, nearby sidewalks, planters and, now, the sprayground. All of these elements aim to show the inextricable relationship between the river and the neighborhood, and the sprayground serves as yet another interpretation of this "Take Me to the River" theme.
"For us it's a new and innovative way for the kids to play and also learn about where their water comes from and where it goes," said Edward Fagan, Jr., director of grants and special initiatives at the Department of Parks and Recreation.
The department is one of many partners who have contributed to the sprayground and other area improvements, and Fagan said the sprayground in particular is a great example of a project that combines both park and recreation elements.
The sprayground did not come without bureaucratic, ownership, water issue and other strings attached, but seeing so many kids run and play in the splash pad, Mural Arts Project Manager Shari Hersh said, "It made me feel like it was all worth it."
The sprayground and its Shissler Greenway and Impressions of the Delaware parent project are part of an even larger collaborative effort, the Big Green Block, which has set out to turn the Shissler Rec Center and surrounding area into the biggest, greenest block in the country. In doing so, the Big Green Block is creating a green passageway from Shissler Rec Center to neighborhood parks and on to the Delaware River.
Working on 14-acres of space, the Big Green Block so far includes stormwater trenches that gather water from Blair Street and a parking lot outside of the rec center, a large greenspace that connects the rec center with neighboring Palmer Park, a small field for toddlers, an art filled corridor to connect the neighborhood to the river and, most recently, this sprayground.
In June the Big Green Block partners will open a dog park at the corner of Blair and Palmer streets, and construction will begin on the Shissler Rec Center basketball court. The court will be repaved and a stormwater management system for the rec center will be installed beneath the pavement.
Groups ranging from the New Kensington CDC (NKCDC), Philadelphia Water Department, Department of Parks and Recreation, Sustainable 19125, the Mural Arts Program are among those who have contributed.
"In my mind, this is one of the greatest public-private collaborations," said Shanta Schachter, NKCDC deputy director.
The impact is evident. In addition to the new, green features, NKCDC Executive Director Sandy Salzman said that for the first time in at least 40 years, developers have started to build properties that face Blair Street, a street that was once exclusively used as garage access and littered with trash and debris.
From 2012-2014 Christine covered transportation, writing about everything from pedestrian concerns to bicycle infrastructure, bridges, trail networks, public transit and more. Her favorite assignments sent her bushwhacking through Philadelphia's yet-to-be-cleared bike trails, catching a glimpse of SEPTA's inner workings or pounding the pavement to find out what pedestrians really think. Christine also covered community news for Eyes on the Street, where her work ranged from food sovereignty to public art and urban greening. She first joined PlanPhilly in fall 2011 as an intern through a partnership with Temple University's Philadelphia Neighborhoods website.
