Mackinac Bridge Twilight
The tall towers of Michigan's majestic Mackinac Bridge shine brightly as the evening sky glows with shades of purple during twilight. This time lapse image features streaks of light from a large ore carrier cruising beneath the span as motorists cross over the Straits of Mackinac on the roadway above. This engineering marvel connects Michigan's upper and lower peninsulas.
The bridge is such an iconic landmark for our state, and I love to stop and photograph it every chance I get. Sometimes the right conditions converge to make a timeless capture.
Mackinac Bridge Shoreline
The rocky north shore of the Mackinac Straights is framed here by the majestic Mackinac Bridge. This famous five-mile crossing is an icon of the state of Michigan and a symbol of the Great Lakes.
Mackinac Bridge
The majestic span of the Mackinac Bridge on a cloudy daybreak in Michigan. This historic suspension bridge is famous for its length at nearly five miles long and is considered an icon and symbol for the state of Michigan as it connects the state's upper and lower peninsulas. The 'Mighty Mac' is the primary crossing point over the Mackinac Straights, between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.

Starry Night
With a tip of the cap to Vincent van Gogh, this is the same house as the previous shot. Different angle, plus much longer exposure, minus spooky factor, plus cosmic awesomeness and fun effects equals this.
Night Light
Eagle Harbor, Michigan ...with some artistic liberties :) Trying to make the most of an opportune moment here. I was driving by this harbor after sunset and saw this amazing fading light on the horizon, whipped a u-ey, parked and hit the beach. As rain started to fall, I set my tripod, composed a few shots, then had to bail. Would have preferred to stack some shots for better background focus, alas, no. But had some fun dressing it up in post by adding this inspired beam of light. Voila! :) (Best viewed as a thumbnail)
South Haven Pier Waves
Waves crash upon the South Haven pier on a windy day as people brave the elements to get close to the iconic lighthouse and experience the tremendous force of nature.

Once Mighty
A rugged old piece of mining machinery is now put "out to pasture" for all to admire on the grounds of the Quincy Mine Steam Hoist in Hancock, part of Michigan's historic Copper Country. This background (certainly more abstract than legible) consists of my paraphrasing of some literature about this site's famous No. 2 copper mining shaft, which back in the 1880s produced 20 percent of the world's copper.

A Talk With Bernie?
On Thursday night I was working, covering some high school hockey here in upper Westchester, New York. My job doesn't require me to take photos of the athletes I'm covering, so usually my editor (who is also a photographer) will show up at the games and shoot the players for pictures.
In between periods during the hockey game I received some really interesting news.
My editor was giving me some background information on the game I covered last night, which happened to be a boy's basketball game. After he let me know what to watch out for at the boy's hoops game, he looked at me and said,
"I should be sending you to the Byram Hills/Fox Lane girls' basketball game. Bernie Williams might be there."
"His daughter Beatriz is a senior and plays on the Byram Hills team, and he attends a lot of her games," he continued. "She's pretty good; she got her 1,000th point the other night."
I had no idea Bernie's daughter plays on one of the teams my newspaper covers – and I didn't know she was that good! 1,000 points in a high school career is quite impressive.
The news got even better when my editor explained to me that Bernie is very approachable at these games. In fact, one of the other reporters working for our paper met him at a game last year and has interviewed him already.
I was then told I could ask him for an interview as well, and maybe write a feature story on him and Bea. I can't think of anything more amazing than writing a story on one of my favorite Yankees; a player I grew up with and might have the chance to interview.
Not to mention it would put Yankee Yapping over the top! If I can get this interview, I will undoubtedly write about the experience here. Maybe it would put Yankee Yapping into the category of elite internet Yankee blogs?
In any event, according to the local schedule, the Byram Hills girls play their next game on Friday Feb. 3 at home – most of the teams are off next week because of high school midterms. I remember those, and no, I do not miss them.
My editor is probably going to send me to that game, and that could very well be the night I get to talk to and possibly interview (or set up an interview with) Yankee legend Bernie Williams. I don't want to get my hopes up if for some reason it doesn't work out, but nonetheless I think it's pretty cool his daughter is on one of the teams I'll be covering.
Just getting the chance to shake Bernie's hand and maybe getting to talk to him for a minute will be enough for me. He has always been and will always be one of my favorite Yankees, ever.
And speaking of communicating with Yankees, I was on Twitter this afternoon and noticed Joba Chamberlain tweeting about the New York Rangers vs. Boston Bruins game. I decided to switch over to the hockey game and attempted to tweet with the Yankee hurler.
Eventually I got Chamberlain to re-tweet me about the action. The Rangers were supposed to be going on a power play, and I asked him if he thought the Blueshirts could convert. But right after I tweeted the question, the referees reversed their decision and didn't call a penalty.
"4-4. No PP."
I can now put Chamberlain with Russell Martin on the list of Yankees who have replied to my tweets. Remember, if you want to follow me on Twitter, my handle is @AJ_Martelli.

The New Jersey State Atlas is using Google Maps to showcase aerial photography of the entire state taken in the 1930's (OK ... I admit there is no satellite imagery from the 1930's).
The opacity of the aerial photo layer can be adjusted. This means it is possible to compare the aerial view of the state in the 1930's to Google's current satellite imagery and observe how the state has developed over the last 80 years.
The map also includes the option to view Google Maps's annotated roads and to switch to the map view. It is therefore very easy to find locations in the state that you might want to see with the 1930's aerial view.

The ski season is on! Heavy snowfalls have recently greeted skiers in many resorts in the northern hemisphere. Now is definitely ski time!
Did you know that Suunto Ambit3 is the perfect ski watch? Track your vertical and number of runs, find out your top-speed and relive your adventures with Suunto Movies.
Here's how to transform your Suunto Ambit into the perfect ski watch.
Before travelling to your dream destination, make sure you are ready to go. Using either Movescount or Suunto Movescount App sync all your old moves and update the satellite orbit data. This is especially important if you are going to be away from the internet and can't sync on the go.
If you want to track a week-long ski trip without uploading the Moves during the trip, it is wise to tweak the settings a bit to make sure you don't miss a beat. Once the log capacity is full, the watch will start over-writing the oldest logs.
Before this happens, however, you can ski quite a bit. For example an Ambit3 has the log capacity of over 120 hours when you use the best GPS accuracy and 10-second recording interval without heart rate. The capacity of an Ambit2 with the same settings is about 80 hours.
With the Suunto Apps you can add and create new features for your Ambit. Go to Movescount's App Zone and find an App that suits your needs.
One multifunctional App is Downhill Stats. It counts the number of runs you have skied as well as shows the distance skied, your maximum speed and elevation gain.
Downhill Stats App is focused on resort and slack-country skiing. For serious backcountry missions Apps like Ascent/Hour or Lap Average Steepness can be more interesting and useful.
And there are special Apps for cross-country skiers, too. If you are taking part in a long distance race, like Vasa Loppet or Birkebeiner, an App that estimates your finish time might be useful.
To get started with the Apps, this Tutorial Tuesday article can be helpful.

Wildfires across West burn homes, close roads
U.S. Highway 12 near Lolo, Mont. closed; fires grow in Columbia Gorge
Mon., Aug. 19, 2013
Two lightning-caused fires burning west of the community of Lolo, Mont., grew rapidly Monday, burning homes, closing U.S. Highway 12, and leading authorities to issue evacuation notices and warnings to residents to be ready to flee.
Firefighters confirmed that homes had been damaged, but they were not immediately able to verify how many, the Missoulian reported.
Voluntary evacuations were in effect and homeowners in the Bear Creek area were given notice to be ready to flee if the fire spreads. Lolo is about 20 miles southwest of Missoula, Mont. Highway 12 links Missoula with Lewiston, Idaho.
Strong winds in the Columbia River Gorge fanned an Oregon wildfire burning on 3,000 acres, forcing the evacuation of a number of homes Monday while other residents waited to hear if they were going to have to leave.
The Government Flats Complex of fires was burning in hilly country near The Dalles, a Columbia River city that's a favorite hangout for windsurfers. Officials said 50 structures were ordered evacuated. It wasn't clear how many of those were homes.
The wildfire is the latest to grab the attention of regional fire crews as hot, dry weather persists across the West.
In Idaho, authorities slowly were allowing evacuees to return to homes that days ago were deemed at risk from a big and erratic wildfire burning near the affluent resort towns of Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley.
The Blaine County sheriff ended the mandatory evacuation order for up to 250 homes. Most of those residences are in subdivisions on the east side of the main highway connecting these communities and are farthest from the 160-square-mile Beaver Creek Fire, ignited by lightning Aug. 7.
About 1,150 firefighters, including elite teams known as Hotshots, looked to reinforce fire lines with the help of 14 helicopters and likely other aircraft. The fire was about 8 percent contained.
In Northern California, erratic winds fanned a wildfire that threatened more than 300 structures in rural Butte County. But the hundreds who evacuated from homes over the weekend were allowed to return as containment lines expanded.
The 3-square-mile fire just outside Bangor was 64 percent contained. So far, one residence, a garage and three outbuildings have been destroyed since the blaze broke out Friday, said Capt. Scott McLean of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Another wildfire on Monday forced the shutdown of a highway that serves as a busy gateway to Yosemite National Park.
The wildfire in the Stanislaus National Forest crossed State Route 120, shutting down the roadway in both directions. No westbound traffic was being allowed out of Yosemite, and people trying to get in were being told to use alternate routes.
In Utah, fire officials lifted an evacuation Monday morning for about 100 residents in Rockport Estates and Rockport Ranches in Summit County, about 45 miles east of Salt Lake City.
They had been displaced since Tuesday when lightning ignited a fast-moving blaze that burned seven houses and one yurt in those subdivisions. The 3.1-squre mile fire was 90 percent contained.
Utah's biggest blaze, the Patch Springs Fire southwest of Salt Lake City, was 45 percent contained. The 50-square-mile blaze hasn't grown since Saturday.
The Columbia River Gorge is known for its strong winds — which is why it is a favorite among windsurfers and kiteboarders — and on Monday those winds fanned the Government Flats Complex of fires burning south of The Dalles.
Dozens of homeowners had been told to prepare for evacuation. By late Monday afternoon, authorities had ordered the evacuation of 50 structures.
"It's a very flammable fuel right now, because it's been dried with lack of moisture, and it's also been heated from the heat coming up the slope," said fire supervisor Kelly Niles, overlooking a charred grassy field. "This stuff, here it's just ready to explode."
The Government Flats fire complex was 12 percent contained, with full containment projected for Sept. 1. Two structures burned Sunday afternoon, officials said.
One resident, 74-year-old Jake Grossmiller, packed up some photos, valuables and clothes for several days in case the evacuation order came.
He set up a sprinkler in his front yard and kept an eye on the smoke rising behind the hills.
"I'm feeling pretty safe," he said.

Bill Demastes of Louisiana State University spent June 2011 at the Ransom Center on a fellowship reviewing material from various collections, including the Tom Stoppard papers, for his forthcoming book, The Cambridge Introduction to Tom Stoppard. Demastes's fellowship was funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Research Endowment.
When playwright Tom Stoppard's name comes up in conversation, most people will recognize him (with a little help) as the author of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and the (co)author of the award-winning movie Shakespeare in Love. People who follow live theater will recognize him as perhaps the most important (certainly the most successful) playwright alive today, a man who over the past five decades has dazzled the stage with such hits as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (his 1960s breakthrough play), Travesties, Jumpers, The Real Thing, Hapgood, Arcadia, and The Coast of Utopia. He is a word master, wit, comic genius, a man who juggles thought with feeling and provides rich entertainments that generate intellectual resonances for his audiences well after the theater goes dark.
I have been working on The Cambridge Introduction to Tom Stoppard (Cambridge University Press) for the past few years, increasingly realizing that no one short of Stoppard himself could capture the heart of Stoppard's theater. When that point finally crystallized in my mind, I determined to come to the Ransom Center, home of the Tom Stoppard papers, looking for Stoppard's own words to incorporate into my book. Over the month that I spent combing through letters, interviews, essays, and speeches, I found gem after gem. Throughout his writings, Stoppard uses peacocks crossing highways, fairies flitting over ponds, men listening to jazz on a radio, a bookstore, landscape gardening, a coin toss, tales from Wittgenstein and Feynman, a love of slapstick, rock-n-roll, and so much more unlikely material to illuminate such complexities as postmodernism, cognitive psychology, determinism, existentialism, nonlinear dynamics, particle physics, and love. Having so much of Stoppard's writings in a center dedicated to preserving the written word in all its manifestations has made my job infinitely easier. It is for that that I thank the Ransom Center.

-=I Swore I Wouldn't Cry
month deployment, in sept of 2001.
-=I Swore I Wouldn't Cry
Daddy was in the navy too, so this wont be hard, I told myself. You kept
telling me it would be ok to cry, But I swore I wouldnt, Ive always been
strong, why would I cry,I havent even known you that long So I swore to myself
I wouldnt cry. Crying shows weakness, That you can not know I have, Couldnt let
you know the pain I felt, The fear in my heart, All I could think was you'll be
a regular "single" sailor, And end up with a girl at every port, Me just
another on your long list. So I swore I wouldnt cry. Then the towers fell, And
the Pentagon too. That day while I was out, You called told Dad to tell me
I love you and goodbye!!! Thats it, we were supposed to have one more week. And
I cried. Then I found out you would be home before you were to really leave. So
once again I swore I wouldnt cry. I changed my mind, told you I might cry, but
you wont see it, You leave tommorow, and due to 9/11 security no one can see
the ship off. So yesterday morning I dropped you off at the peir and we said
our goodbyes And I didnt let you see me cry, But the second that you turned
your back I burst into tears, and didnt see you running back, For one last kiss
and hug, So I let you see me cry.
Then I swore Id be strong while you were gone. But then you called this
morning, said youd emailed me last night, there was a change in plans and you
waited on the pier for me till you had to leave. And you watched everyone else
get more hugs and kisses, But I didnt know. And I swore I wouldnt cry, I asked
you "Baby can you still see the shore?" you said just barely and I cried some
more. Then the cell phone started to break up, and I had to listen to your
voice one last time, for who knows how long. Now Ive changed my promise, its ok
for me to cry. I love you and I miss you. And I swore to you, Id be on that
pier when you come home. Nothing in the world will stop me from being there.
Until that day, I love you and take care.
written for my sailor on the USS Vella-Gulf I love you baby
Jessi Leger

Featured Gameplay Modes are about ready to burst onto the League! We have a variety of experimental modes - each with a unique spin on the classic League of Legends formula – that we're looking to introduce one at a time. We're limiting the availability of each mode so that you can try out a variety of different game types. After they're brought down, we'll check out your feedback as we develop new game modes - there's always a chance that we'll bring back the ones you love the most, too.
The first mode we're introducing is One For All, which consists of two teams of five players all using the same champion. The One For All matchmaking queue will be featured on Summoner's Rift, but you'll be able to try the mode out on any League map via custom games. If you've ever dreamed of nuking an enemy team with five Final Sparks, chaining together a series of Unstoppable Forces or living forever with back-to-back Chronoshifts, now's your chance.
We're really excited to work with you guys on developing new game modes so let us know what you think. The team will be hanging out on the forums looking for inspiration and discussing awesome ideas!

The Time Poor Blogger has a post about creating a new emacs major mode – article mode. For implementing a major mode, the wiki provides some useful hints but I think this is a useful case study. The mode adds word counting and keyword density checking and is designed for writing search engine optimised articles.
Major modes are generally for significant pieces of functionality, for example helping with editing a new type of file or providing a unified mechanism for editing directories (dired).
Article mode doesn't really fit into either category which indicates that perhaps it would be better implemented as a minor mode. Also it might be useful in conjuction with a number of different major modes, e.g. HTML mode, Text mode or Latex mode.
As major modes are mutually exclusive it wouldn't be possible to use Article mode in this way with the current implementation. I would recommend to change this to a minor mode.
The mode demonstrates the following interesting emacs features:
- adding text properties – it provides a mechanism for highlighting keywords
- timers – it only updates the information buffer when emacs has been idle for half a second
- hooks – it demonstrates a slightly unusual technique of waiting for a second keypress after a particular keychord using post-command-hook.
Finally, I like the fact that it uses
(define-derived-mode CHILD PARENT NAME <DOCSTRING>).
(define-derived-mode article-mode text-mode "Article" "Major mode for editing articles Special commands: \\{article-mode-map}")

Searching For Chiropractic Clinics Near You?
If you frequently deal with back pains, neck pains, spine, and sports injuries, you might be searching for the best chiropractic clinics near Traskwood Arkansas. Chiropractic care is considered a holistic and alternative treatment option that triggers the body's natural healing abilities. It is a non-invasive treatment option where millions of Americans are benefiting at the moment. The approach is shown to treat more than a dozen of different conditions. One of the best things about chiropractic care is that the method is 100% drug-free and helps heal your body naturally. The treatment option is effective in dealing with headaches, back pains, ear infections, neck pains, joint pains, arthritis, bowel irregularities, blood pressure, asthma, improved mental clarity, and a host of other conditions. With hundreds of chiropractic clinics near Traskwood, one should be cautious when selecting the best practitioner in the area. Here are important tips to consider when choosing the best chiropractic clinics nearby your location.
Despite the popularity of the treatment method, there are many misconceptions about the field of chiropractic care. Many patients are still confused when it comes to how the practice works and how chiropractic professionals are trained. In fact, most of the chiropractic programs incorporate an entire year of Ph.D.-level training in different subjects. Hence, a chiropractic doctor is a highly skilled and trained individual out there. Like with all other professions out there, there are many quacks operating in this industry too. That is why it is important that you perform extensive research before deciding to work with the right chiropractic doctor in your Traskwood area. Your homework is essential to choosing the best candidate for the job.
Chiropractic Treatment Techniques
People experiencing lower right back pain may be wondering how in the world this isolated pain occurred. While lower back pain is very common, pain isolated to just the lower right side of the back only affects a handful of people. Here are some common reasons you may be experiencing lower right back pain.
Note: This article will discuss possible causes of the pain, not the diagnosis. It is important to discuss all of your medical conditions and concerns with a licensed healthcare professional.
While your isolated back pain could be caused from a variety of activities, there are three common causes that should be discussed.
1. Overuse or Misuse of Body
2. Sleeping Habits
3. Lack of Exercise and Stretching
1. Overuse or Misuse of Body
Most people are right-handed and thus primarily use the right side of their body for most common activity. This consistent use can lead to overuse in the muscles and joints on your right side. Where do you carry your purse or carryon bags? If you are right-handed, you probably carry them over your right shoulder. Where do men carry their overstuffed wallets? Probably in their right back pocket. When they sit down this adds a lot of stress to their lower right back and unnecessary weight on their left side.
Muscles and joints that aren't moved and exercised daily become weak and inflexible. This means that when you do use them for a simple task, like washing the dog, it could cause you major discomfort in your lower right back.
The exercise and stretching you do, should not be too intense or difficult. They should not hurt or cause you discomfort, and you should never feel dizzy or nauseas. Taking a walk around your neighborhood, climbing stairs, touching your toes, and practicing yoga are all great ways to stay active and prevent this back pain.
For more detailed information on lower right back pain causes, prevention and treatment, please visit http://www.lowerrightbackpainhq.net.
Most of the wellness and health benefits associated with chiropractic care are due to the chiropractic adjustments received by the patients. These adjustments are important to place your body in the proper position so that it can heal itself. In fact, chiropractic adjustments help reduce the stress placed on the patient's immune system. This will release energy that is vital for maintaining homeostasis and preventing diseases. The treatment option addresses the whole body of the individual thereby improving his or her ability to think and act more positively.
A professional Traskwood Arkansas chiropractor prides him/herself on taking a drug-free, natural approach to helping the patient improve his/her wellness and health in the long run. In fact, the entire principle is built on the basis that the body has an innate ability to heal itself under the right conditions. The chiropractic doctor will help create the right environment for the body to start healing itself. The practice focuses on keeping one's spine properly aligned at all times. The nervous system controls every organ and cell in the body. Hence, if the spine shifts out of its proper place, it should be brought back into alignment without delay to prevent issues in the nervous system which can manifest as various diseases in the body. That is where a professional and experienced chiropractic doctor comes in handy.
Back Pain Muscle Spasms - Finding the Culprits
Having to bear lower back pain accompanied with stomach pain is an experience no one should ever have to go through. Scientists and doctors all over the world are groping around, mostly in the dark, trying to put their finger on the cause of lower back pain. So far as women are concerned doctors are sure that lower back pain accompanied with stomach pain is related to their menstrual cycles and this is something that can be dealt with a fair amount of ease.
However, doctors have admitted that it is not an easy thing to pinpoint the cause of lower back pain accompanied with stomach pain. They insist that a patient who can keep a track of the symptoms and report them to the doctor will make the process of diagnosing the cause and arriving at a better and effective treatment an easier task.
Some of the causes of lower back pain accompanied with stomach pain are related to the more common urinary infections and kidney or bladder problems, then again you may have a serious bowel problem. Whatever the cause of your lower back pain and abdominal pain you will soon find that it is very difficult to pinpoint and even more difficult to treat effectively. Most treatments available will prove to be temporary in nature and the condition will recur frequently.
If you happen to have lower a bloated or swollen lower belly, this may be a warning flag for conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome. Notice fresh blood or tarry looking stools? This would need investigating as well.
Your pain may feel like it's coming from the womb or any other of your internal reproductive organs. This would mean you would experience the pain in the middle of the lower belly, just above the line of public hair about as far up as the navel. There might be more pain to one side than the other - usually an indication of an ovary being inflamed etc. If you have pain when you have sex, you would feel that deep in your pelvic area. The possible range of conditions is varied. You could be looking at pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, fibroids or maybe even endometriosis. In any event, don't wait call your doctor immediately.
The American Chiropractic Association states that there are more than 70,000 chiropractic professionals operating in the United States alone. With so many to choose from, finding "any" chiropractic doctor is fairly easy. But you don't need "any" chiropractic when it comes to treating your condition. In fact, you want the "best" chiropractor in Traskwood to treat your specific condition. This is a bit trickier than finding just any chiropractic doctor in the area. There are many things to consider when choosing the right professional to treat your condition.
When provided by a highly skilled and experienced professional, chiropractic care is quite effective in healing a wide variety of conditions. The right professional should have a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and experience. A personal referral from someone you trust is a great starting point when searching for any type of professional near Traskwood Arkansas. Ask your existing health care team, friends, family members or co-workers for recommendations in this regard. You may also hop online and read patient reviews and surveys on professional chiropractors operating in your area. Make sure you do the homework properly before scheduling your first appointment with the potential candidate.
Don't forget to check the credentials and experience of the potential candidate. Chiropractors are also known as doctors of chiropractic (DCs). They are highly trained professionals who have completed nationally accredited graduate-level programs. In addition to their 4-year undergraduate degree, a chiropractor should have a 4-year doctorate degree – similar to doctors of osteopathy (DOs) and medical doctors (MDs). Make sure the candidate you choose is licensed and a graduate of an accredited school of chiropractic. Evaluate his/her experience before you work with them. These are some of the most important things to look for when choosing the best chiropractic clinic in Traskwood Arkansas.

Rock-o-Matic - Everybody Sing
Previous / Next
When the Imagination Movers were ready to release "Rock-o-Matic," their latest DVD of music videos targeted to children and parents alike, they came to CRASH+SUES (C+S) for an innovate approach to creating music video vignettes that would bring their songs to life. The full-service post production company's multi-disciplined team took a fresh, collaborative approach to the project, providing a full pallet of editorial, visual effects, stop motion animation, color correction and finishing – as well as some production services – for six of the seven videos featured on the DVD, in addition to cutting all of the interstitials and authoring the disk. Imagination Movers is Disney's Emmy Award-winning eclectic rock band that has been captivating kids of all ages with its fresh approach to pop music. The quartet of singers/performers have sold more than 250,000 CDs and DVDs, and star in their own hit music and comedy series on the Disney Junior network. This most recent high-energy DVD features music videos linked to fun interstitials that range from live-action comedy bits to "Great Moments in Creativity," activities and the Catnip and Catnap puppets – taking the general to the next level. C+S executive producer Sven Shelgren, who helmed the project, recounts, Scott Durbin, one of the four Imagination Movers, called C+S owner Heidi Habben last summer with a question about doing a stop motion animation music video for one of their songs. He was impressed by the work he had seen on our website, and loved the idea of stop motion as a way to reach and connect with kids in a visually exciting way." Initially C+S was tasked with creating a single music video as a promotional piece heralding the launch of The Movers new CD of original songs and their upcoming nationwide tour. However the job ultimately grew into a full 30-minute DVD, that made use of the company's streamlined pipeline of visual effects, animation, editing, color correction and finishing services for 6 more music videos, along with a series of comedy skits created by and starring the Movers that were interlaced into the DVD, and all of the interstitial skits, graphic design, as well as authoring the DVD. The project also took advantage of CRASH+SUES' production capabilities, tapping into the veteran executive producer Sven Shelgren's considerable experience in the live-action production arena. C+S provided postproduction services for the music videos featured on the DVD, including: "Little Red Wagon," helmed by animation director Cari Merryman, who incorporated stop-motion animation into a cut-paper environment with traditional cel-style video to create a captivating visual story; "Everybody Sing," edited by Matthew Kroese; "Remember When," edited by Eric Riggs; the animated video "Blast Off," created by animation director Kinsey Engelmann. In the video entitled "Thank You," the Imagination Movers pay tribute to their fans with a compilation of still photos and video footage of the band and their audience, beginning with images from the days when the group was performing at backyard parties, through more recent scenes of the now nationally known band's US concert, playing to thousands of fans. Editor Todd Isaacs was asked to cut the "Thank You" video in a style reminiscent of the multiple split-screen opening titles of the TV series "Parks and Recreation," and then given free rein to shape the style and content. Working on Apple's Final Cut Pro 7, Isaacs began by selecting the best segments from the group's previous DVDs. "I watched the opening sequence of 'Parks and Recreation' a couple of times for inspiration, and then began to plan how to integrate that concept with the music and the footage. I also listened to the song a number of times and visualized the edit based on the beats in the music," Isaacs explains. "I wove the edit together, starting at the beginning and taking it a step at a time until a rough cut was done. The client viewed it, made some suggestions and after a few tweaks everyone was thrilled with the final results." The complexity of the movements of the multiple split screens required Isaacs, and C+S editor Matthew Kroese, to come up with an innovate approach to rendering out the edit without compromising the visual integrity of the cut. C+S colorist, SUE provided valuable guidance for Isaac's color correction, which he performed within Final Cut, suggesting he maintain "a keen eye for the little details that add up to make a big difference." Isaacs also used Adobe Illustrator to add graphics that enhanced the retrospective footage. Another video, "Dance Kung Fu," is a live-action retelling of the fairytale, "Little Red Riding Hood," in which the Imagination Movers undertake a mission to bring cookies to grandma while evading a troop of Cookie Ninjas. The actors and singers in the group play themselves, as well as the Cookie Ninjas/Kung Fu dancers. The fast-paced storyline uses a 'see-say' approach to the lyrics, so CRASH+SUES editor Carrie Shanahan was tasked with getting the best action shots of the two groups, while keeping pace with the lyrics so young children could follow along. "The director did an initial cut, which sped up nearly every shot in retro "Benny Hill" fashion. That technique had a certain charm, but I thought it was too hectic for a young audience," says Shanahan, who edited the video on Final Cut, assisted by Matthew Kroese. "My challenge was to tell the story in real-time while keeping pace with the lyrics. We happened to have a colleague's seven-year old in the office during the edit, so I had her watch a rough cut to make sure she was getting the story. She was - and thought it was 'very funny' so I felt I was going my job!" Several of the scenes in the "Dance Kung Fu" video featured in-camera effects and required some editorial finessing to support the illusion that the Movers and Kung Fu dancers were interacting. Shanahan also had to lip synch four characters as they ran and danced. SUE did the color correction on the Nucoda System Ryan Wheeler performed the online and Alex Engelmann crafted the opening animation. "REMEMBER WHEN" was the 'fan' video on the new DVD, which means fans sent in videos of themselves, in the hopes of making it into the song,' notes CRASH+SUES' Eric Riggs, the editor of the video. "Not only do these guys have a huge fan base, but they are creative too! Their fans are a testament to the innovative and original music they put out." "I used to live in New Orleans, where the band is from, and I have a young son, so I was excited to work on the project," adds Shanahan. "The Imagination Movers were a pleasure to work with and sent us a 'King Cake' after the wrap – a local delicacy with a little plastic baby baked inside. If you get the slice of cake with the baby, you have to throw the next party. I got the baby so the next party's on me!" "One thing we pride ourselves on is writing and performing all of our songs (over 200)," says Imagination Group member, Scott Durban." This DVD is about real guitars, real drums and real fun - coupled with incredible artistic contribution by CRASH+SUES' team that brought our songs to life visually for our fans." The DVD production used the talents of every member of the CRASH+SUES' collaborative team, and has helped raise the public profile of the Imagination Movers. While the band is in the midst of a four-month concert tour of North America and abroad, viewers can still catch original episodes and old favorites of the Imagination Movers television series airing daily on the brand new 24-hour Disney Junior Network.

Venture Out comes before all these for me. I almost had to flip a coin between Time In A Glass and The Other Side Of The Story. I went with Time because it's a little longer and more varied song, and Other Side would require acoustic guitar, etc. that may make for too many instrument changes. It would be a nice short, soothing one, though.
And I can hear you all saying, "Not Lighthouse?", but I've heard a few versions of that one, and only one of each of the others, so I'd love to hear more of those...

Congrats on being named neurology chairman at Sinai.
I have no idea why you sent me an announcement. I mean, nothing against you, but we've never met (unless it involved a drunken encounter that I've forgotten). In fact, I hadn't heard of you until I got your lovely card in today's mail. I'm sure Mount Sinai is a fine facility, but I've never been there. After 20 years, I honestly don't remember if it was one of the many medical schools that rejected me in the late 1980's.
So I'm entirely lacking in ideas as to why your institution paid to kill a tree, print a card, and mail it to me to trumpet your news. Annie thought maybe you were fishing for a gift, like those cheesy "Hey! I Graduated from High School Again" notes that the kid who delivers the paper sends. But I have no idea what to get you. A $25 U.S. Savings Bond? A Chia Pet? A "Trees for Israel"* certificate? Given that I'm not exactly down the block from you I'm unlikely to be referring you any patients (nothing personal).
Anyway, good luck in your new job. If anyone at Mount Sinai has even the slightest idea as to why I'm on your mailing list, please let me know. They can also take me off it to spare future trees from any further announcements.
Yours truly,
Ibee Grumpy, M.D.
*For those who didn't grow up with Jewish friends in the 70's-80's, the "Trees for Israel" certificate was a remarkably lame gift for equally lame occasions. It basically was a paper with your (usually misspelled) name typed/written/crayoned on it, saying that in your honor a few bucks had been given to plant trees in Israel. It often misled you to believe that somewhere in Israel there REALLY WAS a tree with a plaque and your name on it, which is a story in itself. Anyway, they made incredibly disappointing gifts ("Wow, Ibee! Mark got you a GI Joe super-charged missile-action tank set, and Joe brought you a "Trees for Israel" certificate." And Joe would be so embarrassed that his Mom got you one that he'd be hiding in a paper bag). So now you know.

When Michael Brown speaks, he does so directly and honestly. It's a quality that's likely served him well during his 15 years as a youth counselor in Henrico. He's trying to help troubled kids get their lives in order. Sugarcoating things isn't going to get it done.
Brown isn't afraid to say that he thinks today's ballplayers could be tougher. That's why when Brown says he respects Bradford Burgess and his accomplishments, you know he's not pulling any punches. On Dec. 22, at UNC Greensboro, Burgess started the 122nd straight game of his VCU career to break Brown's school record, which had stood since 1986. Brown agrees that Burgess is a bit of a throwback player.
"He's doing what the coach likes him to do, playing the role he wants him to," said Brown, who averaged 11.3 points per game for the Rams from 1982-86. "That's why I take my hat off to him for that. I respect that. He's coachable."
Brown is a Hopewell, Va. native and now resides in Chesterfield. In addition to his work as a youth counselor, he's also an assistant basketball coach at Hopewell High School. When he can, he likes to take his two sons to VCU games. Brown says he makes it to about half the Rams' home contests and attended the Final Four in Houston, Texas in April.
Burgess has never met Brown, but both men expressed a desire to shake hands and talk sometime in the near future. If and when they do meet, they'll likely have a lot to talk about. There are quite a few similarities between the two players.
Despite scoring 1,369 points as a four-year starter, Brown never led the Rams in scoring in any season. Brown, Jamal Shuler and Joey Rodriguez are the only 1,000-point scorers in VCU history to do that. That's because Brown thrived as the "glue guy" of some of the best teams in program history.
Remind you of anyone you know? While Burgess will likely lead the team in scoring this year, he's made a career for himself not so much as a star, but as a guy who makes his teammates better, a facilitator. He plays unselfishly, takes good shots and fills a role.
Those similarities have not been lost on some longtime observers of VCU Basketball. Brown said that while talking to former coaches and teammates like Calvin Duncan, J.D. Barnett and Tubby Smith at the Final Four, many of them said the very same thing.
"I had at least 5-6 people come up to me and say that Burgess and I have the same type of game," Brown said. "It's hard to critique yourself, but he's unselfish and I like that about him. He makes pretty good decisions."
Burgess is also similar in his admiration for Brown's accomplishments. He's never seen Brown play, but that's immaterial. Burgess doesn't necessarily need to know that Brown, by all accounts, was the Rams' best defender and locked horns with future NBA players Dell Curry, Johnny Newman and Pearl Washington. He doesn't need to know what Brown, like himself, was a selective and accurate shooter. He just knows that Brown was one of the best players on three NCAA Tournament teams, including one that finished the year ranked 11th in the nation. That's good enough for him.
"He was a part of a great team, so I know he's a winner and he has to be a great player if he's getting all those starts," Burgess, who also passed Brown on the Rams' career scoring list during the UNC Greensboro game, said.
Both players have been unquestioned winners. VCU went 85-36 (.703), earned three NCAA bids and won three NCAA Tournament games during Brown's career. Meanwhile, the Rams are 90-34 (.726), have claimed two NCAA berths and won five NCAA Tournament contests in Burgess' three-plus seasons.
Burgess, while understated, is happy for this slice of VCU lore, not so much for the gaudy statistic's exterior, but for what it represents.
"It's a great thing to accomplish," Burgess, who is averaging 14.5 points and 4.6 rebounds per game this season, said. "It means that you've got to play in a lot of ballgames. You've got to win a lot of games to get there."
Michael Brown would most likely approve of that sentiment.

Upcoming School Sustainability Grants Opportunity for K-12 Schools!
As teachers and administrators, have you ever looked around your school and thought, "Wow! Opportunity missed!" when considering what students could be learning about sustainability from your school facility? Here's your chance to engage students in making their school a more sustainable one!
The Louisiana Environmental Education Commission will soon be issuing applications for sustainability projects in K-12 schools in the EPA Region 6 area! Meanwhile, we wanted to give you time to be thinking about the outstanding sustainability initiatives that you would like to start in your school prior to you going on summer break!
WHO can apply? Fulltime classroom teachers or school administrators in accredited public or non-public schools (K-12) in the EPA Region 6 area – Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, or Texas - can apply on behalf of an individual school.
WHAT kind of projects will receive funding? We'll be looking to award projects that encourage sustainability initiatives on K-12 school campuses and actively engage students in the process. No building construction or building modification will be funded, however.
WHERE do I begin? Spend some time thinking about a project that will educate, involve your students in a sustainability initiative, AND improve your school! Here's an example:
The teacher notes that large amounts of waste are generated during school and at extracurricular events. Students calculate the amount of waste and recyclable materials generated, evaluate container needs and desirable locations, locate vendors, complete a cost a comparative of supplies, etc. Students develop a media campaign to solicit participation from personnel and fellow students. Once the program is implemented, students compare pre- and post- waste outputs, material types recycled, calculate landfill savings, and generate reports. Students conclude the lesson series by organizing an Earth Day at school, emphasizing the value of recycling to parents and fellow schoolmates the cost value of diverting waste from the landfill through recycling.
WHEN will the applications go out? Mid-August 2012
HOW much are we talking about? Up to $5000 per award!
WHY bother? Because you are an outstanding educator who cares about students, hands-on learning opportunities, and your environment!!!
Look for more in August but meanwhile, have a FANTASTIC summer!

I am probably sending this into the void...(I am watching the series on tape
and am joining this discussion several months late as a result, hopefully
there are others out there...)
The question that is most pressing for me (in terms of doing inquiry based
science) is how to guide my students to make meaning of their experiences. I
have been doing inquiry based science in my classroom since I started teaching,
I am much more interested and comfortable with facilitating investigations
than with lecturing. My problem is with the discussion/reflection component of
the process. I often feel that students become bored with discussion, that
they would much prefer to follow directions and to be given the answers when we
are finished. I think their reactions are tied in to my inability to motivate
them properly-they do not feel the effort involved in puzzling things out is
wirth the effort. If any one is out there???

In January 2002, Microsoft's Bill Gates—then chairman—sent out his trustworthy computing memo, spurred by a growing wave of dissatisfaction about the security failures of the company's operating systems and applications. As a result of past failures, Microsoft has helped to change the way we think about software development.
The late 1990s and early 2000s were difficult times in Microsoft security. A major vulnerability in the Universal Plug and Play feature of Windows XP was found just months after the release of the OS in 2001. In January 2002 the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington sent a letter to state attorneys general complaining of the lack of privacy controls in Microsoft's Passport, Wallet and .Net services.
"I remember at one point our local telephone network struggled to keep up with the volume of calls we were getting," Matt Thomlinson, vice president of security for Microsoft, said of the impact of the XP bug in an online history Microsoft's security initiative. "We actually had to bus in engineers, many of whom were working on the next version of Windows, from their offices around campus to the call center. We needed every person available to talk to customers and walk them through how to get their systems cleaned."
On Feb. 1, 2002, Richard Purcell, head of Microsoft's corporate privacy office, announced in Washington a month-long moratorium on new coding.
Gates, Purcell told the audience at a privacy and data security conference, "is really annoyed by the incredible pain we put everyone through in computing." As a result, "we are not coding new code as of today for the next month," he said. The company instead would spend the time going over old code as a first step in cleaning out bugs. "It's time to get the garage cleaned out."
Twelve years later, the Trustworthy Computing initiative is not finished, and probably never will be. David Aucsmith, senior director of Microsoft's Institute for Advanced Technology for Governments, said recently in in Washington, "I do not believe you can create a secure computer system."
The problem is, "we build systems far more complex than our ability to understand them," Aucsmith said. Because we don't know what we don't know, built-in security inevitably will be incomplete, and software and hardware will always have to adapt to newly discovered threats and exploits. "Nothing static remains secure."
But the Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) that grew out of the Microsoft initiative has helped to change the way developers think about software security. The SDL process now shows up as a requirement in government procurements, and the National Security Agency says it has made an impact on OS security.
"A fundamental goal of the SDL process is to reduce the attack surface," NSA said in an evaluation of Windows 7 security for the Defense Department and the intelligence community. "Since adoption of the SDL process, the number of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures on Microsoft products in the National Vulnerability Database has declined."
"A preliminary System and Network Analysis Center analysis has determined that the new Windows 7 security features, coupled with the use of the SDL process throughout the development cycle, has assisted in the delivery of a more secure product," the assessment concluded.
We still are a long way from being as secure as we want to be or can be. But there has been progress.
