Happy birthday, Mark Zuckerberg, and congratulations on being one of the few people in world history to reach age 30 in great financial shape.
We're not sure what our net worth was when we were your age, but we're fairly confident it was well under $26.6 billion (Forbes's estimate for yours, as of first thing this morning). Not only are you finally old enough to serve in the U.S. Senate, but you're wealthy enough to finance an election campaign!
If we were your Facebook friends, your social network might be prompting us this very minute to buy you a Starbucks gift card or a tasteful digital bouquet. But since we haven't yet received your friend request (could we have missed it?), we hope you'll be satisfied with this age-appropriate financial to-do list—one that we hope you'll also share with your millennial peers of more modest means.
Readers, please feel free to offer your own financial advice for Mr. Zuckerberg (and other 30-year-olds) in the comments section.
Pump up that nest egg. We're guessing you've got the means to set aside some extra money for retirement. So here's an unconventional idea: Take a big stack of it, put it in a diversified investment account—and don't touch it again for 40 years. Recent research suggests that you could have just as much success with that technique as you would if you saved a little bit each year from now until you turn 70.
Of course it's possible that you haven't saved for retirement at all: Only about half of Americans your age have even started a nest egg. The best strategy for someone your age: Start contributing to your 401(k), bank at least enough to get your company match, and commit to "auto-escalation," which will make your contribution slightly bigger each year. (This may mean restructuring your pay, Mark, since you currently collect only $1 a year in salary.) Here are three other ways to get your nest egg going.
Keep playing house. You're already showing signs of incipient real-estate mogul-hood: You recently bought four properties surrounding your Palo Alto home in order to protect your privacy. Whiile that's got you in a little legal dispute at the moment, it could still be a good long-term financial move. If this Facebook thing doesn't work out down the road, having some income from some rental properties could get you through a tricky patch; and owning your home outright in retirement is one of the best ways to decrease your likelihood of outliving your money.
Of course, high student debt, and the low credit scores that can come with it, is a major factor keeping many 30-year-olds out of the real estate market. We assume student loans aren't a problem for you—after all, you didn't even finish two years at Harvard—but if you're still carrying some debt, now's as good a time as any to pay it off. And here are some student-loan management tips to pass along to your less affluent peers.
Write up your will. Did we mention you own at least five houses now? And since you're almost two years into your marriage with Priscilla Chan, you've got more people than just yourself to think about. (You also want to make sure your commitment to the Giving Pledge isn't disrupted by your untimely demise.) Bottom line: You, and people like you, need a fully up-to-date estate plan, even though you're young and invincible.
While you're at it, make sure the beneficiary info is up to date on all your investment accounts and insurance policies. Lots of young people name their siblings, their parents and their old roommates as beneficiaries, then forget to update their files after they get married. If something unfortunate were to happen to you, how weird would it look if some 10-year-old life insurance policy of yours wound up enriching, say, Eduardo Saverin?
Health. Speaking of being young and invincible:Make sure you've got health insurance. In the event of a medical emergency, double-whammy of losing your earning power and paying big health-care bills out of pocket is still one of the biggest threats to a young person's financial well-being. I assume Facebook's health plan is pretty good, but if not, hey: Obamacare needs young enrollees like you to help balance out the cost of caring for older, sicker folks.
Come to think of it, Mark, you could probably just put an extra billion aside and self-insure. But how many 30-year-olds can say the same?

Los Angeles' own Dum Dum Girls began as a one-person project for singer and songwriter Dee Dee Penny in 2008.
Inspired by everything from 1960s garage rock and girl groups to Velvet Underground-influenced indie bands of the 1980s, the Dum Dum Girls released two well-received albums of catchy lo-fi tunes, with hooks often buried under walls of reverbed guitar.
Penny's production team of Richard Gottehrer (Blondie, Go-Go's) and Raveonettes leader Sune Rose Wagner takes the helm again for "Too True," an ambitious, focused step forward into a clearer, more polished sound.
The influence of 1980s post-punk outfits such as Siouxsie and the Banshees and the Cure holds greater sway on the band this time around. Swirling tracks such as "Cult of Love" and "Lost Boys and Girls Club" sport droning guitar, echoed vocals and an overall cavernous sound that almost obscures Penny's knack for catchy melodies.
These dark, entrancing mood pieces are balanced out by brighter, more infectious songs such as "Little Minx," which recalls mid-period Blondie. "Under These Hands" is also a perfectly realized slice of midtempo pop-rock with an insistent chorus, while the full-production girl-group update "Are You Okay?" is the album's most delightful track.
At 10 tracks and just over 30 minutes, "Too True" is too short. Still, the Dum Dum Girls manage to cover lots of ground here, comfortably adding a wider range of sonic styles enhanced by fuller, more sympathetic production.
Playing spot-the-influences is part of the fun, but don't let that stand in the way of enjoying the continuing evolution of this intriguing band.

Leveraging good will from the first movie, Taken 2 dominated at the box office this weekend with one of the best October debuts ever. Pitch Perfect performed admirably in its nationwide expansion, while Frankenweenie bombed against tough holdover competition from Hotel Transylvania. The Top 12 earned $132.7 million this weekend, which is up a whopping 55 percent from the same frame last year.Taken 2 tallied $49.5 million this weekend, which is double the first Taken's $24.7 million. It's also up on nearly all comparable titles, including this year's Safe House ($40.2 million) and The Bourne Legacy ($38.1 million). Taken 2's opening ranks third all-time in the month of October behind Paranormal Activity 3 ($52.6 million) and Jackass 3-D ($50.4 million). The success of Taken 2 really shouldn't come as a big surprise. While it's not for everyone, the first Taken maintains a very strong reputation over three years after its release (it has a great 7.9 rating on IMDb). For Taken 2, distributor 20th Century Fox rolled out a mighty marketing campaign that demonstrated that the sequel retained the action and character of the first movie, while making just enough changes (location, more identifiable villain) to not seem like a complete retread. This is about all it takes to release a successful sequel: make sure the first movie is well-liked, and promise more of the same. Exit polling indicated that the audience skewed older (56 percent were 25 years of age and up) and was pretty evenly split between men and women (52 percent male), which suggests Taken 2 was a good date night choice. Reviews are god-awful (20 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes), but moviegoers were much more forgiving—they awarded Taken 2 a "B+" CinemaScore, which means the movie may not fall like a rock next weekend. Still, it's going to be a lot more front-loaded than its predecessor, and matching Taken's $145 million domestic total is going to be a real challenge.In second place, Hotel Transylvania dipped 36 percent to $27.05 million. That brings the movie's 10-day total to a very good $76.7 million, which is over $15 million ahead of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs through the same point. Pitch Perfect expanded to 2,770 locations and earned $14.85 million this weekend. That's lower than most comparable titles, including Bring It On ($17.4 million) and last October's Footloose ($15.6 million), though the movie surely burned off some of its initial demand with the limited release last week. The audience was overwhelmingly female (81 percent) and was also on the younger side (55 percent under the age of 25). Without any direct competition coming up for this younger female audience, Pitch Perfect should be able to leverage its strong word-of-mouth ("A" CinemaScore) in to a final gross north of $50 million. Looper eased 42 percent to $12.1 million in its second outing. That drop is identical to Source Code's last year, though Looper's $40.2 million 10-day total is much higher than Source Code's $28.2 million. If Looper continues along this pace, it will wind up with over $75 million by the end of its run. Frankenweenie took fifth place this weekend with a disappointing $11.4 million debut. That's way off from Tim Burton's last stop-motion animated movie Corpse Bride, which earned $19.1 million in its nationwide expansion. It's also lower than ParaNorman's $14.1 million, and only a tad up on April's stop-motion bomb The Pirates! Band of Misfits ($11.1 million). A number of factors conspired to thwart Frankenweenie's box office prospects. Disney's decision to release the movie just a week after Hotel Transylvania is a baffling one: yes, Hotel Transylvania wasn't expected to perform quite so well, but it still seems foolish to expect to draw family audiences in this head-to-head matchup. The bigger problem, of course, was in the product itself: stop-motion animation already is a niche genre, and to throw black-and-white on top of that made the movie even more inaccessible. The marketing did have Tim Burton's name slapped all over it, but it's unclear how strong Burton's brand is without regular collaborator Johnny Depp.Audiences gave Frankenweenie a "B+" CinemaScore. Without any real competition (besides, of course, Hotel Transylvania), the movie should hold well leading up to Halloween, but this start is so poor that it's not going to make much of a difference.Discuss this story with fellow Box Office Mojo fans on Facebook.

Tracy Toon Spencer didn't expect to have trouble getting pregnant. Sure, she was in her late thirties, but she taught yoga, ate well, and had healthy habits. Yet it took her nearly two years to conceive her son. During that time, she took Clomid (a fertility drug that induces ovulation) and ultimately underwent several rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Though her efforts resulted in a healthy baby, "it was painful to deal with the monthly ups and downs," she recounts. "Even when you're doing all you can, there's no guarantee you'll get pregnant when you think you should, or even at all."
A recent study published in the British Medical Journal underscores Spencer's point: Researchers found that medical treatments such as Clomid and intrauterine insemination (IUI) may not increase pregnancy rates any more than not getting treatment does.
"What I hear from our fertility patients is that they feel disempowered," says Alice Domar, Ph.D., executive director of the Domar Center for Mind/Body Health at Boston IVF. Learning natural strategies to boost your chances of conception helps to "put control back in your court," she says. Work the following natural fertility tools into your treatment plan as you and your doctor see fit.
1. Reduce Stress
It's maddening to hear: Stress reduction promotes fertility, yet the infertility experience is inherently stressful. Stress likely has a direct physiological impact as well as a secondary effect by triggering lifestyle choices that reduce fertility, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and excessive drinking. "When women attend stress-management classes, pregnancy rates go up," says Domar.
To reduce your stress levels, consider finding a support group for women trying to conceive. "Communing with other women going through the same thing helps reduce the social isolation that many experience," says Domar.
Learning how to trigger your body's relaxation response can also help. Spencer, who changed her life-coaching business to focus on helping women navigate the road to conception, recommends that her clients commit to a mind-body practice for 20 minutes a day, whether it's yoga, deep breathing, or meditation.
2. Examine Your Diet
"Simple dietary changes can impact overall fertility," says Jorge Chavarro, M.D., lead author of The Fertility Diet, a book based on a study of 18,000 nurses trying to become pregnant. Food's impact on fertility has a lot to do with the hormone insulin; excessive levels in the body (caused by eating a lot of highly refined foods or having a condition known as insulin resistance) can cause a hormone imbalance that affects fertility. "Insulin increases blood levels of testosterone," says Chavarro. "Over time, this can hamper ovulation and make it less likely you'll produce a healthy egg in any given cycle." (Keep in mind, notes Chavarro, that dietary changes don't affect fertility problems caused by blocked fallopian tubes or other mechanical causes.)
The study members with the highest fertility rates ate diets high in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables and low in animal protein. They avoided processed food, which often contains trans fats. In fact, the more trans fats they ate, the higher their risk of infertility due to ovulation problems.
One surprising fact emerged: Women who regularly consumed full-fat dairy products had a markedly lower risk of infertility than those who ate low- or no-fat versions. Although there's no scientific explanation for this, Chavarro and his team theorize that full-fat dairy may deliver reproductive hormones that get stripped out of skim and low-fat versions. If you enjoy dairy and your body tolerates it, Chavarro recommends adding one or two servings of full-fat dairy a day when you're trying to conceive. Subtract the calories from elsewhere in your diet, as maintaining a healthy weight also promotes fertility.
3. Try Acupuncture
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, infertility stems from an imbalance of vital energy, or qi. By nourishing qi and clearing energy blockages, acupuncture encourages normal reproductive function. From a Western medical perspective, it "increases blood flow to the uterus and ovaries and reduces stress," says naturopathic doctor Laurie Steelsmith, author of Natural Choices for Women's Health.
"I used to be skeptical," says Domar. "But I've seen the research and implemented acupuncture at my own clinic. Well-timed acupuncture can im-prove conception rates dramatically." Research has shown it to increase the number of births in women undergoing IVF when the acupuncture is administered on the day of embryo transfer. Studies have shown that acupuncture can boost ovulation and may also enhance male fertility, particularly when combined with Chinese herbs.
Seek out a licensed practitioner with postgraduate experience in infertility. Encourage your partner to get treatment, too. "You want to create optimal health in both partners," says Steelsmith, "and it's helpful to get both engaged in the healing process."
4. Consider Herbal Medicine
Herbalists and naturopaths use key medicinal herbs to promote patients' overall health and fertility. Kate Gilday, herbalist and founder of Woodland Essence teaching center in upstate New York, relies on a three-pronged approach: herbs that help the body cope with the effects of long-term stress (such as ashwaganda, eleuthero, and tulsi); herbs that play a specific role in promoting fertility (such as vitex, milky oats, and raspberry leaf); and herbs that cleanse the liver, which rids the body of excess reproductive hormones (such as dandelion, burdock root, milk thistle, and turmeric). "Keep in mind that herbal medicine is very personalized," says Gilday. "See a naturopath or a trained herbalist for best results."
Whichever natural therapies you incorporate, remember that while a baby may be the end goal, it's not the only benefit of your efforts, says Spencer. "Working with infertility teaches you how to research your options, find what works for you, and trust that what you're doing is enough -- all of which make great training for motherhood."

As I mentioned, my mind has already begun reeling about all of the goodies I [hopefully] would like to bake, mainly covering breakfast and dessert. I guess they'll have to fend for themselves when it comes to the other meals. Sorry dad, I can only do so much ☺ But I definitely want to have things around the house my family can snack on [instead of apparently starving], which brought me to one of my favorite recipes that was given to me by my lovely mother, French Breakfast Puffs. I truthfully can't even tell you where she got this recipe, but all I know is that I fell in love with these the very first time she ever made them!
These little creations are oh, so simple yet
So here I give you my first of many Easter goodies for you to try out that special weekend...or any other day for that matter! Bon appetit! .
French Breakfast Puffs
1 c. sugar
2/3 c. butter
2 eggs
3 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 c. milk
Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture:
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease regular-sized muffin cups.
- In large bowl, cream sugar and butter together (about 3 minutes). Add eggs and beat to combine.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
- Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
- With a few minutes left before the muffins are done baking, melt the butter. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Remove muffins from oven and immediately dip tops in melted butter and then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat with the remaining muffins.

The new multi-disciplinary blog aggregrator from Guy Kawasaki, Alltop.com, officially went live today. As noted here last week, the Nonprofit Alltop page looks to be a good at-a-glance resource for all the latest blog posts in the nonprofit world (primarily those in the United States, from the look of it, for now at least).
Small Dots is there, and so are almost 80 other sources of nonprofit news and ideas. Should be a good place to visit when you want to take a snapshot of the zeitgeist of the bloggers in the nonprofit sector at any given time. If you're a nonprofit tech evangelist, trying to increase nptech literacy within your organization, the Nonprofit Alltop page would be a good place to get people started.
One of the most useful things to come across my radar recently is Drop.io — a free, private file-sharing site that doesn't require any registration or account creation. Anybody still struggling with an outdated, hosted, proprietary ftp site will be very excited about this. Many non-technical folks are put off by ftp sites, and the friendly, easy-to-understand, non-threatening interface offered by Drop.io looks like an excellent alternative.
Just upload the file from your computer, name it, set a password, and share the name and password with whomever you chose. (More insanely useful info here.)
Take a look:
Some of the nonprofit blogging world's best and brightest made a splash yesterday at SXSWi on the Pimp My Nonprofit Panel. Beth Kanter, Rachel Weidinger, Ed Schipul, Erin Denny, and Michaela Hackner injected some extra fun into their session on nonprofits and social media campaigns by engaging in a little role playing. Looks like it was a blast — wish I could have been there. Read all about it, including links to slides, notes, and commentary, on Beth's Blog.

Clarkson University's Kelly Chezum Named Woman of Distinction Nominee
Clarkson University Vice President for External Relations Kelly O. Chezum was one of several women named a 2013 Woman of Distinction Nominee for the 48th Senate District by New York State Senator Patty Ritchie.
The New York State Senate's Women of Distinction Program celebrates the unique contributions of women throughout New York State history, as well as those who are enriching the quality of life in New York's communities today.
The local nominees were honored at a reception with Ritchie on April 11 in Watertown.
"There are many people across the region working together to make the North Country a great place to live, work and learn," said Chezum. "It was an honor to meet and be among the women Senator Ritchie acknowledged last week, as all of us shared a common sense of purpose to make our community a better place.
"Whether you have time to volunteer on a board or take a 'snapshot' assignment to help with a specific activity or event, there are many organizations in our own backyard that would welcome the energy and support that you can provide. As a parent and community member who interacts with many volunteers, I'm grateful that Senator Ritchie is bringing attention to all of these opportunities to get involved."
Since 2009, Chezum has served as Clarkson University's vice president for external relations, leading the school's integrated marketing communications and long-range planning activities. She has also served as assistant secretary of the board of trustees since 2003. She joined the Clarkson staff in 1999 and has held positions as director of corporate & foundation relations, assistant to the president for strategic advancement and division head for marketing & external relations.
She is a member of the board of directors of the Adirondack North Country Association, a member of the public participation and Adirondack work groups for the North Country Regional Economic Development Council, and co-chair of the Adirondack Initiative for Wired Work. She is also past president of the Hospice & Palliative Care of St. Lawrence Valley board of directors.
Chezum received her doctoral degree in law and policy from Northeastern University, her MBA from Clarkson, and her bachelor of science in business administration and communication from Carroll University.
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 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, 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.

Last week around 200 people marched across Washington in 100-degree heat to the offices of Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS and pinned an arrest warrant on the door. This matters. It is one more in an ongoing series of actions that say that people are paying attention and are not going to just go away.
Meanwhile, today the Supreme Court doubled down on its Citizens' United decision opening up our elections to unlimited corporate money. While the original Supreme Court decision claimed that allowing corporate money to dominate elections would not bring about either corruption or even the appearance of corruption, Montana's law was a direct response to actual, proven corporate corruption. The conservative-movement majority on the Supreme Court apparently felt that proven corruption does not have the appearance of corruption.
Last Wednesday, June 20, marchers taped an indictment to the door of the offices of Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS. They had taken the 45-minute walk from the Take Back The American Dream Conference through downtown D.C.
Here is a slideshow of my photos:
Crossroads GPS is one more organization that takes in hundreds of millions of dollars from billionaires and their giant corporations to run nasty, negative political ads and do other things to influence our politics. However, it is set up as a "social welfare" organization—501(c)(4)—which means that even though its sole purpose is to promote and oppose candidates for office, it does not have to disclose its donors!
Friday Terrance Heath posted The People's Indictment of Karl Rove, writing about the indictment,
Detailing an attempt to subvert and sell our democracy, the indictment was also mic check'd from the street by hundreds of protesters in 100 degree DC heat. The protest was organized by the Campaign for America's Future, OurDC and others who took to the street.
The text of the indictment follows:
The following actions establish probable cause that crimes against our democracy did in fact occur.
COUNT I: Collusion with secretive groups and state legislatures to keep people from exercising their right to vote;
COUNT II: Conspiracy with billionaires to elect politicians who will do their bidding at the expense of the health and security of the 99 percent;
COUNT III: Engaging in fraudulent use of nonprofit status in order to shield their political activities from public scrutiny;
COUNT IV: Laundering political cash through supposed social welfare groups to deny Americans the knowledge of who is trying to buy their elections;
COUNT V: Silencing the voices of everyday voters by flooding our elections with corporate money from the 1 percent.
You are hereby commanded to cease and desist from these actions that undermine our democracy and the American dream. Failure to comply may result in citizens' arrest.
Organized by Campaign for America's Future, Rebuild the Dream, People for the American Way, Public Campaign, The Other 98%, Health Care for America Now, Common Cause, Alliance for Justice, Public Citizen, SEIU and others.
Meanwhile today the Supreme Court handed down a decision that struck down Montana's ban on corporate political money. Here is a response from the Progressive Caucus: Congressional Progressive Caucus Co-Chairs Slam Roberts Court Decision on Montana Campaign Finance Law,
Reps. Raúl M. Grijalva (D-AZ) and Keith Ellison (D-MN), Co-Chairs of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, released the following statement today after the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to overturn Montana's hundred-year-old campaign finance law in American Tradition Partnership v. Bullock:
"Today the Supreme Court went against the will of 75 percent of the American people to overturn an effective 100-year-old state precedent that had protected Montana elections from corporate money in politics. This ruling compounds the damage to our democracy already done by the Citizens United v. FEC decision, which has allowed millions of untraceable dollars to overwhelm our federal, state, and local elections.
"The precedent set by that decision and reaffirmed today allows outside groups to trump popular state and federal laws that keep elections in the hands of the people. Montana's campaign finance law kept campaigning costs low for candidates and ensured that voters had the most powerful voice in politics. The average Senate race in Montana costs only $17,000.
"We've seen this same story all over the country, and we know what happens next. Wealthy donors, corporations and special interests will now have unchecked influence over Montana's political process. Citizens United is rapidly eroding the foundation of our democracy. The decision announced today is a squandered opportunity to repair that damage.
"Public opinion continues to favor overturning Citizens United. What happens next in Montana will provide a powerful example of how political conversation changes when corporations are allowed to sway campaigns. The Congressional Progressive Caucus will continue to fight for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and put democracy back in the hands of the American people."
Senator Bernie Sanders Statement On Supreme Court Ruling In Montana Campaign Funding Case
WASHINGTON, June 25 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) issued the following statement today after the U.S. Supreme Court reversed a Montana Supreme Court ruling that allowed limits on campaign contributions:
"I am extremely disappointed but not surprised that the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Montana court ruling that would have allowed limits on campaign contributions.
"The U.S. Supreme Court's absurd 5-4 ruling two years ago in Citizens United was a major blow to American democratic traditions. Sadly, despite all of the evidence that Americans see every day, the court continues to believe that its decision makes sense.
"In recent weeks, multi-billionaires such as the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson have made it clear that, as a result of the Citizens United decision, they intend to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy this election for candidates who support the super-wealthy. This is not democracy. This is plutocracy. And that is why we must overturn Citizens United if we are serious about maintaining the foundations of American democracy.
"I intend to work as hard as I can for a constitutional amendment to overturn this disastrous Supreme Court decision.
"In his famous speech at Gettysburg during the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln talked about America as a country 'of the people, by the people and for the people.' Today, as a result of the Supreme Court's refusal to reconsider its decision in Citizens United, we are rapidly moving toward a nation of the super-rich, by the super-rich and for the super-rich. That is not what America is supposed to be about. This Supreme Court decision must be overturned."

Bureau Of Geology Welcomes New ChiefSOCORRO, N.M. April 30, 2012 – After nearly a year-long search, the N.M. Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources has found a new chief executive. New Mexico Tech President Dr. Daniel H. Lopez told the Board of Regents about the new appointment at Sunday's meeting in Socorro.
|L. Greer Price is the new Director and State Geologist at the Bureau. He served as interim director for the past 10 months. He has served as chief editor and deputy director during his 10 years at New Mexico Tech.
Lopez said he's pleased to welcome Price to the top geology position in the state.
"Greer Price has done an exceptional job as interim director," Lopez said. "His colleagues have come to believe that he's an exceptional administrator. He's earned the respect and support of the Bureau – scientists as well as support people."
Price expects to retire in two years. One of his top priorities will be to see construction begin on a new building for the Bureau, which is dependent on New Mexico voters approving the funds. Lopez said he looks forward to collaborating with Price on outreach efforts with the voters of the state.
"Greer is very thoughtful and knowledgeable and a good administrator," Lopez said. "I'm happy that he's willing to take this job for a couple years."
Price said he's pleased to take the reins and is looking forward to keeping the Bureau vibrant over the next two years.
"I'm committed to this organization and our mission," he said. "I believe strongly in what we do. I came to New Mexico Tech and the Bureau of Geology because I believe strongly in what state geological surveys do and the role we play. We serve an important purpose, and our work is important to the citizens of New Mexico."
Price said he hopes to build on the Bureau's already strong programs and grow some new programs. The Aquifer Mapping program received a boost in funding from the state this year – $300,000, which is a $100,000 increase. The geologic mapping program continues to be a large focus of the Bureau's basic program. He also wants to provide continued support for the Bureau's laboratories, which provide ample opportunities for university students to conduct research. He said he'd also like to expand the Bureau's efforts in geothermal energy.
Price earned his bachelor's and master's, both in geology, from Washington University in St. Louis and was in a doctoral program at the University of Michigan. He spent six years as a petroleum industry as a geologist with Exxon and Sohio from 1978 to 1984, then spent 11 years as a writer, editor and interpretative specialist with the U.S. National Park Service.
In 1996, he became the managing editor for the Grand Canyon Association, before returning to geology in 2001. He served as senior geologist and chief editor at the Bureau from 2001 to 2005, then added associate director to his title. In 2007, then-director Dr. Peter Scholle named Price the deputy director.
"I worked closely with Peter," Price said. "Without that experience, I don't think I would have been prepared for the job I'm doing now."

Ever see something simultaneously ever-so-slightly disturbing and yet overwhelmingly, incredibly adorable? If not, meet Marek, a viral three-year-old with a lot of self-confidence — and a deep appreciation for LMFAO.
Marek, in his pajamas and bare feet, begins in a kitchen staring at a laptop. He struggles to keep up with the lyrics, but it's evident that he's singing along to 'Sexy and I Know It' by the apologetic party rockers. He gently stomps one foot, then the next, before his first clear enunciation: "I work out!"
Sounds precious, right? Wait a little longer until Marek — again, a three-year-old — pretends to rip off his pants and gyrate into the camera, then tumbles on his floor. He gets up and starts singing again, extra passionately but still not quite clearly — until his favorite line, "I work out!" He once more gyrates, points to his crotch (c'mon, man, you're three!) and wiggles his entire body, his adorable head coming dangerously close to the countertop behind him.
For the rest of the song, the tot wiggles and raps some more, until the conclusion — where he appears to play leap frog with an invisible partner across his kitchen floor.
This is where Marek is most adamant. He has passion (or are those OverNites?) in his pants, and he ain't afraid to show it. The tyke yells, loudly and clearly: "I'm sexy and I know it!"
Watch Marek Sing and Dance to 'I'm Sexy and I Know It'

Missoula Marathon: Race Day is Almost Here
This Sunday, July 8, I'm going to wake up at 4 a.m. Then I'm going to go run 13.1 miles. If it sounds crazy, that's because it is.
The funny thing is that there will be literally thousands of people doing the exact same thing on the exact same morning. In fact, some of them will actually be running 26.2 miles — twice as far! So obviously, I'm not the only crazy person, and I'm definitely not the craziest.
Sometime back in February or March, I thought that training for the Missoula Half-Marathon sounded like a fantastic idea. Over the course of my running career, I've completed dozens of 5Ks and a handful of 10Ks, and I figured it was time for a new challenge.
So, I slowly began to build up my mileage. Training wasn't so bad once the weather got nicer, and I was lucky enough to have a friend who was willing to go on most of my long runs with me. About a month out from race day, I was feeling pretty confident about my ability to not only finish the race, but to be at least semi-competitive.
But when July 1 hit and I realized that I was only a week away from racing 13.1 miles — more than 6 miles farther than I've ever raced before — I couldn't help but panic a little. Then I remembered that I wouldn't be alone.
In addition to the thousands of people who will be lining up at the starting line, there will be thousands more lining the streets of Missoula and cheering for those of us who are crazy enough to go the distance.
I've participated in this event as a spectator many times, and I've always been left feeling amazed and inspired. So, if you get the chance to come out and cheer, I highly recommend it, and I think I speak for the entire racing field when I say it would be greatly appreciated. (If you have a garden hose or sprinkler you'd like to make available to the hordes of hot, sweaty runners, that also would be greatly appreciated.)
See you on race day!
Brooke is a 2010 graduate of The University of Montana, where she ran track and cross country for the Grizzlies. She is currently working as a writer and editor in Missoula.

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Men's Health
This portion of our health library caters solely to men. Here you will find articles that discuss topics of interest to men seeking to lose weight.
In the pantheon of contemporary culture, neither Adonis nor Aphrodite has love handles.
But two thirds of Americans do. Yet, contrary to conventional stereotypes, their excess weight hasn't hampered their interest in having a healthy sex life. In fact, research shows that overweight men are just as interested in sex as the next guy; they just may not be as able to perform.
Now, when it comes to performance anxiety, low self-esteem about body image can be a real impediment to confidence, so that may account for some of the problem.
But experts say that 90 percent of erectile dysfunction is physical in origin, not psychological. In large-scale studies, nearly 80 percent of men who reported having erectile dysfunction were also overweight or obese.
So, perhaps it won't be a surprise that a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association has yielded some promising news about resolving this sensitive problem, and it doesn't have anything to do with little blue pills you hear advertised during major sporting events.
The research in question was a two-year study conducted at the Second University of Naples, Italy. The subjects were recruited from a campus weight-loss clinic. They were all obese men between the ages of 35 and 55. All reported some degree of erectile dysfunction, but they were otherwise healthy, without the complications of diabetes, hypertension or heart disease that are so common with obesity.
Half of the subjects were supervised by medical professionals in individualized weight-loss treatment programs. They were educated about diet, fitness and personal behavioral adjustments in visits with a nutritional counselor and a personal trainer, every month for the first year, and then bi-monthly during the second year of the study.
The other half--the control group--just got general information about exercise and healthy dietary choices during visits every other month during the two-year study period.
By the end of the study, all the men in the supervised group had lost weight and experienced various health and sexual function improvements. In fact, by the time they'd achieved a weight loss of just 10 percent, erectile dysfunction was completely alleviated for one out of three men in that group.
But there was no change in weight for the control group, and even by the end of the study, only three of the 55 men in the control group had recovered normal erectile function.
Perhaps the most important finding of this study is one the researchers weren't even trying to prove: regardless of the objective, the weight loss effort is more effective with professional supervision. Remember that these men were all what you would call "motivated" subjects; they were recruited from among people who had already shown up at a weight-loss clinic, so they wanted to lose some weight. But even at that, the subjects who didn't have any particular guidance just couldn't do it.

SALEM, Ore. — A redshirt freshman place kicker at Division III Willamette has announced that he is bisexual, saying he decided to come forward because he wanted to be a source of encouragement for LGBT youth.
Conner Mertens, who first announced his sexual orientation through the website Outsports.com, had already told his coaches and his teammates. The school scheduled a news conference Tuesday afternoon to discuss his announcement.
Willamette issued a statement supporting Mertens' decision, saying the university "respects his contribution to a more humane and just world."
The Bearcats play in the Northwest Conference. The team went 7-2 overall last season and finished third in the league at 4-2.
Mertens did not play his freshman season because of injury.

Her New Life
Christine moves to Forks after 1 1/2 years of pain after her best friend died. What she finds in Forks will change her life forever. I PUT CHAPTER 11 AT THE END OF CHAPTER 10.
This is my first story so hopefully you like it. It doesn't have any Twilight characters, just vampires and it references Twilight.
1. Chapter 1
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 650 Review this Chapter
A few years ago I didn't think my life could get worse. Once Chris died, I was lost. The sad thing is that we never even went out. But, he was my best friend. Now I'm driving to my new high school, Forks High, and I can't help but thinking about all my friends even one I haven't seen for a year and a half. My mom and I left everything back in Seattle; my friends, my brother, my dad, and my music career (well kinda). I was actually kind of getting somewhere with my music until we had to move to this tiny town in the middle of nowhere because of the stupid divorce. The only good thing about this is that my mom felt so sorry for me that she bought me my dream car, a dark blue Mini Cooper.
As I pulled into the parking lot of Forks High, I couldn't help but think about my favorite book, Twilight. Just like Bella's first day, most of the cars were old and cheap. I was really early so I decided to just sit in my car and listen to Switchfoot. Their music always can calm me. But in this case, it just made me miss my friends even more and I started sobbing.
Once the parking lot was pretty full, I decided it was time to head to class. As I got out of my car I could feel people staring at me. Not always the best thing for someone like me; just like Bella I'm a very klutzy person. I decided to just ignore all the eyes and concentrate on getting to class. I found my 1st period, Spanish II, quickly and I went to talk to the teacher. He told me that the only empty seat was in the back. I sat down and tried to concentrate on the teacher as the class started.
The day dragged on really slowly. No one came to talk to me, I ended up sitting alone at lunch, and to top it all of it was raining. I'm used to rain, but it just made the day even more miserable. When the bell rang after 5th period I almost ran out of class. My next class was choir and I was really excited. Choir was always my favorite class; it was the most fun and music always helps me get through hard times.
As I walked into choir I began to get worried. What if this choir sucks? What if they all are amazing? I was obsessing about those things when the teacher appeared in front of me.
"You must be Christine, the new student. We are very excited to have you here. Your old teacher sent me a recording of some of your performances. It sounds like you are a very talented musician; I look forward to working with you."
"Thank you, I look forward to working with you guys also." Hopefully I sounded convincing.
"We have a concert in two weeks, so you don't have to sing in it if you think that you need more time. We are working on memorizing the songs and perfecting them."
"It'll be fine, I would love to perform in the concert. It'll give me something to do." I'm going to need something to keep me busy.
"All right then. You can go sit by Christopher and he can get you the music you need and he can explain classroom policies." As he said this, Mr. Johnson motioned for a guy in the second row to come to the front. He was very pale and incredibly beautiful, but that wasn't what caught my attention. Christopher looked so familiar; he looked like…the next thing I knew I was falling towards the ground. Right before I hit the ground I felt some strong arms catch me and lay me down gently.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) Russell Henley won the Jacksonville Open on Sunday for his second Web.com Tour victory of the year, beating B.J. Staten with a par on the first hole of a playoff.
Henley birdied the final hole of regulation for a 5-under 65 to match Staten at 10-under 270 on Dye's Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass. Staten finished with a 68, then had a double bogey on the playoff hole.
Henley earned $108,000 to jump from ninth to third on the money list with $365,366. The tournament was the final full-field event of the year. The top 60 on the money list qualified for the season-ending Web.com Tour Championship next week in McKinney, Texas. The final top 25 will earn 2013 PGA Tour cards.
Henley also won the Chiquita Classic last month in North Carolina, beating Patrick Cantlay and Morgan Hoffmann with a par on the first hole of a playoff. Last year while still a student at Georgia, Henley won the tour's Stadion Classic on his college course.
Staten earned a spot in the finale, making $64,800 to go from 69th to 32nd on the money list with $141,521.
Ben Martin shot a 68 to finish third at 8 under.
Aaron Watkins was 6 under after a 67, and Cantlay was another stroke back along with Kevin Foley and Wes Roach. Cantlay closed with a 72, Foley shot 67, and Roach had a 69.

THE installation by General Linda Bond of Commissioners Brian and Rosalie Peddle as territorial leaders of The Salvation Army's Canada and Bermuda Territory was something of a homecoming for Canadian officers serving internationally. The event, held in Jackson's Point Conference Centre, a Salvation Army facility in Ontario, Canada, was General Bond's first official visit to her home territory since taking office as international leader of The Salvation Army in April 2011. Fellow-Canadians Commissioners Brian and Rosalie Peddle were returning as territorial leaders after serving in the New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga Territory and in the United Kingdom Territory with the Republic of Ireland.Also returning from overseas and in attendance were Colonels Robert and Marguerite Ward, territorial leaders in Pakistan, Captains Paul and Pedrinah Thistle, currently serving at Howard Hospital in Zimbabwe, and Majors Ronald and Donna Millar, who recently concluded their service in the Caribbean. In his words of introduction, Chief Secretary Colonel Floyd Tidd said, 'Commissioners Peddle return as God's chosen leaders for our territory. We welcome them home as people who are known to love God deeply, who embrace fully the mission and ministry of The Salvation Army and who engage easily with people. They seek not only to lead like Jesus, but also to empower other leaders to lead like Jesus.'During the installation ceremony General Bond emphasized the importance of godly leaders. 'When God stops providing the Army with leaders, it means we are finished. But the very fact that he keeps calling and providing people means that he has a plan and a purpose for The Salvation Army.'It is with joy and confidence that I commend to you your new territorial leaders,' said General Bond to the hundreds of Salvationists in attendance. 'I call upon all Salvationists to receive your new leaders with Christian love and joyful expectation. Please support them in prayer and in dedicated service.' In her challenge to Commissioners Peddle, the General urged them to model spirit-filled leadership. 'Serve with compassion and integrity,' she said. 'Teach the Word and live it out with humility and grace. You are called to be shepherds of the flock, fervent evangelists and visionary leaders. Under your leadership, we pray that the Kingdom of God will advance as you lead the Army in Canada and Bermuda to be faithful to the mission the Lord has given it.'As Commissioners Peddle knelt at the mercy seat the General invited the congregation to pray for them. During this solemn moment, Captain Krista Andrews and Stephanie Forystek - the daughters of the territorial leaders - ministered through the song 'I'm in His Hands'.Following the installation ceremony, representative speakers offered words of welcome. Benjamin White, one of the newest junior soldiers in the territory, spoke on behalf of children and young people. Candidate Ricaurte Velasque spoke for the soldiers, and encouraged the territorial leaders to seek greater representation in the Army from the many cultures found in Canada. Lieutenant Carolyn Reid pledged loyalty on behalf of the officers and asked the Peddles to 'take time to nourish your souls as you are our spiritual leaders'. In her response, Commissioner Rosalie Peddle said that it was a great gift to return home to family and friends. With her 89-year-old mother-in-law in attendance, she also thanked their parents for raising them in godly homes. 'We are humbled and overwhelmed,' she said. 'But yet, we are experiencing a deep peace about our new responsibilities. We have come into these new roles literally on our knees, seeking God's wisdom, guidance, leading and direction. Our prayer is that God will give us incredible courage, and will daily empower us to be people who will lead with integrity, vision, competence and passion.' In his message, Commissioner Brian Peddle challenged Salvationists to focus on purpose and passion. 'We are redeemed for a reason. And I want you to be committed with me to our cause,' he said. 'The sum total of our mission is leading those who do not know Jesus to him.' Referencing the worldwide work of the Movement, and the responsibilities of the General, Commissioner Peddle said that the territory needs to uphold the international Army in prayer and offer practical support through human resources and financial contributions. 'The world and the communities where we live need Salvationists whose hearts are captured and committed to being ambassadors of Christ and his gospel,' he said. 'We need agents of redemption who will live in a way that people will know that God is in that person ... We need to make this invisible God visible to those people who have yet to see him.' Following a time of reflection and response, General Bond challenged the congregation never to be ashamed to be known as The Salvation Army. 'The world needs the "salvation" in our name,' she said. 'The Lord is going to bring revival to The Salvation Army. And the mark of this revival will be the restoration of our passion for the lost. We will have a soul-saving passion even greater than the days when we were raised up.' The evening concluded with a sung benediction by the Ontario Central East Divisional Youth Chorus. The Canadian Staff Band also provided musical selections throughout the installation service.

Resurfacing the 100-inch Telescope, Aug. 10, 2001
Mt. Wilson
SOCORRO, N.M., August 9, 2001 -- Ever since 1997, New Mexico Tech professor of electrical engineering Scott Teare has spent the better part of his summers in the mountains near Pasadena, Calif., working on the 100-inch Hooker telescope at the Mount Wilson Observatory.
Just like many of the scientists who work on this telescope, Teare has an astronomy research program that uses the telescope, but unlike the hundreds of astronomers who over the years have recorded images through the 84-year-old telescope, Teare also gets the rare opportunity to actually touch -- and, in fact, climb onto -- the large optics of the telescope.
Normally it is not a good thing to be touching the optics; however, Teare also is an optician for the telescope and takes on the responsibility of recoating the 100-inch diameter primary and auxiliary mirrors of the telescope.
In what has become a yearly "face lift" for the aging Hooker telescope, its primary mirror, a 9,000-pound, 13-inch-thick piece of glass is first hoisted down and then its old reflective coating is removed in a series of washes.
The processes involved in cleaning and preparing the huge mirror's surface and applying a new aluminum coating are not complex; nevertheless, there are a number of critical details to coordinate, exotic equipment to operate, and a few "tricks of the trade" to be added in order to obtain the high reflectivity that this old, yet still useful, scientific instrument requires.
Mt. Wilson
"It's a lot of work," Teare says, "at least 100 hours worth just in the optical work after you tally everything up."
But it's rewarding work, Teare adds, especially given the historical context of the Hooker telescope, which among other things was the very same telescope famed astronomer Edwin Hubble used to measure distances and velocities of galaxies, leading to the expanding Universe, or "Big Bang," theory.
The Hooker telescope, completed in 1917, was up until 1948 the world's largest telescope and played major roles in some of the most important advances made in the history of astronomy.
The telescope's 100-inch mirror that Teare works on each summer was originally cast in St. Gobain, France in 1905 and was manufactured from a green glass similar to the type used to make wine bottles.
In 1935, the 60-inch and 100-inch telescope mirrors becamethe first large astronomical telescope mirrors to be aluminized; prior to this, they had to silvered and burnished every few months to maintain its reflectivity. . . . Aluminum coatings can last much longer.
And, the 100-inch mirror still remains the largest solid plate-glass mirror ever made.
"Another perk of working on the 100-inch mirror is that I get to see things few people have ever seen," Teare relates. "For instance, very few people ever get to see the intricate patterns of bubbles that are spread out throughout that big piece of glass. Normally, they are hidden from view by the reflective coating. So, unless you were at the observatory on the one day a year that we are preparing it for the recoating process, you missed it!"
The final step in preparing the glass surface is a scrubbing with a slurry of calcium carbonate, and then the mirror is ready for the evaporative transfer of a new coat of aluminum onto its surface--a process which takes place in the observatory's 108- inch vacuum chamber, essentially a very large steel bell jar which is the same one used to coat the mirrors back in 1935.
The new reflective coating is then tested to ensure it meets set standards, and, after it passes inspection, the 100-inch mirror is then hoisted about 50 feet straight up, to be placed back inside the Hooker telescope's frame.

"At that point, you just hope that it doesn't fall," Teare says. "It is a wonderful piece of history and an irreplaceable part of a scientific instrument, so we take a lot of precautions and are very careful whenever we are moving it."
Teare's main research involves working with University of Illinois astronomy professor Laird Thompson on a National Science Foundation-sponsored project that is retrofitting the Hooker
telescope with laser-guided star adaptive optics which compensate and correct for optical disturbances caused by atmospheric turbulence.
"Such instruments allow astronomers to do cutting-edge research on existing astronomical telescopes," Teare says, "and will be a necessity on the 30 to 100 meter telescopes that are being planned, in order to take advantage of their available resolution."
As a research physicist at New Mexico Tech, Teare is developing instrumentation and adaptive optics systems for the university's soon-to-be-constructed Magdalena Ridge Observatory,
a state-of-the-art optical observatory that will produce extremely detailed images of the far reaches of the Universe.
In his dual role as a Tech electrical engineering professor, Teare says he will no doubt incorporate some of his summer work experiences at the Mount Wilson Observatory into the new class he has developed in optics and devices, which he is teaching this fall semester at the state-supported research university.

In the bowl of a food processor combine the packed basil, 1/2 cup of the cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper, and pulse several times to chop the basil. While the processor is running, add 3/4 cup of the oil in a thin, steady stream. Add 1/4 cup of the pine nuts and the walnuts and pulse several times until the nuts are incorporated and chopped but pieces are still visible. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside. Makes about 1 cup.
Season the scallops on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Wrap each scallop around the smooth outer edges with a piece of prosciutto so that the entire outer circumference of the scallop is covered with prosciutto.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the linguine. Cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain, toss with the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil, and set aside to keep warm.
Melt half of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and, when the butter just begins to brown, add half of the scallops and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining scallops. (You may need to wipe the skillet between batches if the butter gets too brown.)
Season the linguine with salt and pepper to taste and divide among 4 or 6 entree plates. Divide the scallops evenly among the plates, placing them directly on top of the linguine. Drizzle each plate of scallops with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the pesto. Garnish with remaining toasted pine nuts and fresh basil leaves. Pass the remaining grated cheese at the table.
