We're not sure about the provenance of this totally bad-ass BMW motorcycle outfitted with a drum kit side car. It could be from a custom builder who loves percussion as much as they do biking, or just a marketing stunt waiting to go viral.
But from just a single photo we can certainly make the claim that if you're a drummer, this is hands-down the best way to make an impressive entrance at your next gig. You just might want to remove those cymbals while enroute, as they don't appear to be particularly aerodynamic. [Facebook via Walyou]

Parking Day 2008 Video from Streetfilms
Park(ing) Day, one of our favorite yearly public space happenings, takes to the New York City streets this Friday!
This international event transforms metered parking spaces into playgrounds, parks, creative installations, and unusual meeting-grounds for all to hit the pavement and enjoy. Converting car-intended spots throughout the five boroughs, these park(ing) spaces are a great example of street-space reclaimed. Park(ing) Day's mission doesn't sound too far off from the High Line's reclamation of space for the public.
Last year the High Line participated in the Park(ing) Day extravaganza, one of 57 spaces across the city. This year, our newly-opened park hovers 30 feet higher than most parking spaces, but encourages you to check out a nearby Park(ing) Day space on ground level. A map and description of all the spots is here.
One of our favorites is right here in the neighborhood. Weave the Hearts, sponsored by the West Harlem Art Fund and created by Japanese artist Shintaro Tokairin, can be located at 400 W. 14th Street, near 9th Avenue. Tokairin has created a woven installation piece which will encapsulate the space, inviting visitors to relax and indulge in the artistically-inspired parking spot.
For the installation, Tokairin took the idea from the Japanese, "zori", or flip-flops, which use woven materials to support the shoe's structure and add to design. The fabrics used in his three-dimensional park(ing) structure range from recycled clothing to plastic and paper bags. The West Harlem Art Fund has several additional "Pop Up Installations" located from Harlem down to Chelsea.
There are more than 50 spots being planned for Friday, some of which are participating in a little healthy competition, via this year's POP.Parks contest. The spots will be judged on the criteria of accessibility, ease with which to assemble and dissemble, connectivity, comfort, safety, and cost.
So, if you find yourself strolling at street level this Friday, please take a moment to pop into one of these pop-up parks across the city!

This book is another gift selection this year, this time for my 3-year-old niece. It was a New York Times Best Seller in 2011 and it fits nicely in this week's duo of books about girls growing up to be strong women.
My Name Is Not Isabella: Just How Big Can a Little Girl Dream? follows little Isabella through her day at home and school. Each time her mother calls to her to come down for breakfast or to get ready for bed Isabella announces that she has become someone else.
"Good morning, Isabella," the mother said. "It's time to get up and out of bed."
"My name is not Isabella!" said the little girl.
"Then who has been sleeping in my daughter's bed?" asked the mother.
"I am Sally, the greatest, toughest astronaut who ever was!"
"Well, Sally, blast out of your bed, put on your space suit and come downstairs for breakfast."
From astronaut Sally Ride to sharpshooter Annie Oakley, Isabella imagines she is many different influential women throughout history. And each time she changes her mind her mom responds with patience and a great sense of humor. Mike Litwin's illustration style varies throughout the book to include drawings and photo collages. Looking for these subtle differences in the images adds to the fun. When it's time to get on the school bus, Isabella becomes civil rights activist Rosa Parks. I was moved by Litwin's illustration of this page in Isabella's history.
Author Jennifer Fosberry keeps the text simple using just the first names of each historical figure but she provides biographies at the end of the book as well as a list of works consulted that will guide you to more information about each woman. This story is not "teachy" but it provides a nice jumping-off point for a discussion between a caregiver and child about how these women - and many others - have changed the world.
This book is also available with a boy at the center of the story in My Name is Not Alexander: Just How Big Can a Little Kid Dream? Another exciting option is to have this story customized with your special child's name at putmeinthestory.com.
My Name Is Not Isabella was published in 2008 by Sourcebooks/Jabberwocky. It is 32 pages and is available in hardcover, paperback, and e-book versions.
Happy reading,
I am blessed with six nieces who are, in turn, blessed by having everything they need. I give them books for Christmas gifts. Every child needs a new book.
This year, the 7-year-olds will be receiving Someday written by Eileen Spinelli, author of When Mama Comes Home Tonight and Something to Tell the Grandcows. It is illustrated by Rosie Winstead who is also an author with a new book, Sprout Helps Out, due in Spring 2014.
The girl in Someday looks like a 7-year-old and that's what made it stand out among the picture books, to me. She's a big kid and even though the story will really appeal to those strong young women on your list, it's a great story for even younger children, too.
In Someday, the girl is dreaming about the great things she will accomplish someday when she is older. Someday she will have lunch with the President at the White House. She will give him a box of golf balls and she will not drop any of her salad on the rug.
The story alternates from this someday of the future to today when she is preparing for those adventures. Today she is eating lunch with her little brother Roger who talks with his mouth full and spills his milk. Someday she will spend the night in Egypt and sleep next to a pyramid. Tonight she is sleeping next to Roger because he is afraid of monsters.
The future is described in grown-up detail while the present is written more simply. She is not really wishing for the future but she is aware that she will be more confident and have it together - someday. I imagine that the girl's current and future selves are able to communicate and they take turns writing this story.
Rosie Winstead's inviting illustrations show an imperfect and changing girl who is beautiful, uncertain, sometimes bossy and sometimes very kind. She's a real girl and this book takes her and its young readers seriously. There are also a few secrets in the illustrations that children will enjoy discovering for themselves. I highly recommend this book for any young ladies on your holiday or birthday gift list.
Someday was published by Dial in 2007. It is 32 pages and available in hardcover and paperback editions.
Happy reading!

Carlos Beltran Blah Blah Blah and Other Bullets
The Wife is running in a 5K this morning (er, edit, make this all past tense), so I'm taking The Little Boy to his first race. That's my typical role when one of these races comes up: the ride. Also, the bearer of banana when the race ends. That is not some kind of double entendre.
- Carlos Beltran might be the best postseason player of all-time, and his special abilities in that regard are only heightened by the Cardinal laundry he currently wears. Which is to say, of course the Cardinals won the opening game of the NLCS against the Dodgers on a walk-off hit in the 13th inning last night, and of course it was Beltran doing the hitting. They do it again today at 3pm CT, and the Tigers/Red Sox start their series at 7pm CT.
- The Red Sox have blossomed under Ben Cherington as GM, though the groundwork was laid before he took over the gig from Theo Epstein.
- It was another good showing yesterday for the Mesa Solar Sox, powered by Cubs prospects. Kris Bryant hit another homer (2-5), Wes Darvill went 1-3 with a couple walks, and Jorge Soler is perfecting the art of the impactful 1-5. Dallas Beeler started the game, allowing just one earned run in his three innings of work. Lendy Castillo threw a one-run inning.
- Patrick Mooney speaks at length with former Cubs GM Jim Hendry, who is now a scout with the Yankees. Hendry has certainly borne a disproportionate and unfair amount of the blame for the state of the organization by 2010, even if some of his decisions were virtually dictated by ownership in the mid-2000s. It's a great, and depressing, read.
- A fascinating write-up on the Cubs' corporate sponsorship efforts in conjunction with the to-be renovated Wrigley Field. From the sound of things, the Cubs would prefer to go with fewer sponsors, but who each pay more and are locked in on long-term deals. It's a risky approach – based on my very limited experience with/knowledge of sponsorship arrangements – but it could prove to be extremely lucrative if the Cubs do it well. Based on the article, it looks like the Cubs are taking it very seriously. The tricky part? Just like TV networks, the sponsors want to know that the Cubs are going to be consistently competitive in the long-term, thus offering a compelling product for possible consumer exposure. It's another chicken and egg issue, but hopefully the Cubs can sell the sponsors on the bright future (and then do some supplementing of the roster in the near-term to back that up).

It must have been during a quiet period.
Strange things seen on a ride.
#3 - Menstrual Cycle Lane.
Jo Burt has spent the majority of his life riding bikes, drawing bikes and writing about bikes. When he's not scribbling pictures for the whole gamut of cycling media he writes words about them for road.cc and when he's not doing either of those he's pedaling. Then in whatever spare minutes there are in between he's agonizing over getting his socks, cycling cap and bar-tape to coordinate just so. And is quietly disappointed that yours don't He rides and races road bikes a bit, cyclo-cross bikes a lot and mountainbikes a fair bit too. Would rather be up a mountain.

Basics of Social Media Metrics
Social media metrics are detailed and concrete measurements that help you understand if your social media strategies are working (or not) for you or your customers. These metrics quantify and evaluate your social media efforts and act as a road map that shows how you can improve what you're doing online.
Metrics measure what happens to the content and the conversations you create on social networks, blogs, and websites. Each piece of social media content you generate — whether it's a simple comment, a long blog post, a new website, an app, or a status update — is designed to get some kind of response.
Response, however, is a difficult concept to measure, so it helps to break it down into specific terms:
Attention: Attention is a loose way of describing how people see, and how long people see, your content. You see this reflected in time spent on a web page, how many minutes a tweet continues to be retweeted or replied to, how long a status update stays in Facebook's Most Interesting section of the newsfeed, how long a comment thread is, how long the duration of shares lasts on Google Plus, and more.
Reach: Reach sounds impressive, but it really just refers to how far your content travels and for how long. As a measurement, reach indicates a combination of quality content, high attention levels, and connectivity to appropriate influencers. A post with a decent reach value gets reshared dozens of times on various social networks and is commented on and discussed as well, especially over the course of hours, days, or months. New attention to your post's content through these shares indicates good reach as well.
Influencers: Influencers are people who share or interact with your content and by doing so inspire others to share and interact with it as well. Influencers can often affect actual sales and lead generation, so they can improve your bottom line if you find the right ones to target.
Interest: Related to attention, interest helps make content both sticky and shareable. For example, 14 consecutive posts about your lunch may appeal to a small audience, but you would receive a failing grade on the interest measurement scale. Content about your lunch in Italy on your speaking tour, however, may have a much higher interest score. Being picky about the content you generate and creative in how and where you share it will increase interest overall.
Views: As you explore the world of analytics, you'll notice several different types of metrics called views. A view can be the first time someone looks at something you shared, or it can be each time a person visits your page. You often see views described as "unique," "repeat," and more.
Actions: Actions is a term for the way people interact with your sites and content. Sharing links, subscribing to newsletters, requesting quotes, leaving comments, clicking links, leaving reviews, and downloading files are all actions.
Community: Successful online businesses develop a community around their social media activity. Measuring community may be difficult, but it's not impossible. Increasing this metric can help you with your overall success. A solid community often encourages your customers to act as a champion of whatever you do — every business needs as many champions as they can get to succeed in a tight economy!
Listening: Keeping your ear to ground is the most important metric of all. If you aren't listening to what people are saying about your brand, and where they are saying it, you can't modify your business plans accordingly to make sure that your online efforts convert into sales.
Don't bother obsessing over individual metrics like page views. Sure, having a site with hundreds of thousands of views looks great, but if your visitors aren't clicking links, engaging with the site, buying your products or services, or sharing any of your content, you won't get anywhere. Cast a wide metrics net instead and evaluate many different aspects of your return on investment to see what works for you.

Scientists from NOAA Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary,
NOAA Fisheries Service,
NOAA Center for Coastal Environmental Health and Biomolecular Research,
NOAA Hollings Marine Laboratory, the
University of Alabama's Department of Geological Sciences;, and the
College of Charleston's Grice Marine Laboratory
participated in a seven-day (April 8-14, 2010) research cruise aboard the
NOAA Ship PISCES
to investigate deep-water rocky reefs and associated sponges and corals off the coast of Georgia and South Carolina. These corals build up complex
high-relief mounds in deep water (350-900 m) and consist of living, dead and fossil corals and coral rubble that provide important habitat and
feeding grounds for a diversity of marine life including wreckfish, golden crab and royal red shrimp.
Underwater video and high-resolution still photographs were collected using the
Southwest Fisheries Science Center's remotely operated vehicle
(or ROV). Several of these photos are being used to describe a new species of fishes, while others are being used to improve the description of
species of fishes and invertebrates that are rarely observed in the wild. View some of these photos and 'fly-along' with the researchers in
your browser by clicking on one of the five virtual tours below. Toggle the boxes above the map to turn various
features on and off. Zoom in on the map and click on individual photos to see larger images and additional information. Or, download the
data to view externally in Google Earth.
Additional details about the Cruise's Mission and daily web logs (blogs) from the scientists can be viewed by visiting the
Gray's Reef Sanctuary Mission page.

Professor Wiseman expects thousands of people to take part in an experiment in manipulating dreams.
Participants will download a specially designed iPhone app that turns their phone in to a dream factory.
Placed on the bed, the phone can detect when a sleeper is not moving, which signifies the onset of dreaming.
It then plays a carefully crafted ''soundscape'' designed to evoke pleasant scenes such as walking in woods, or lying on a beach.
The idea is that this will influence dreaming, causing dreamers to conjure up situations and experiences inspired by the sounds they are hearing.
At the end of the dream the app sounds a gentle alarm to wake the dreamer, who submits a brief description of the dream to a ''dream catcher'' database.
Prof Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire, who is best known for his work on the paranormal, said: ''Getting a good night's sleep and having pleasant dreams boosts people's productivity, and is essential for their psychological and physical well being. Despite this, we know very little about how to influence dreams. This experiment aims to change that.''
As many as 10,000 people are expected to take part in the mass-participation study, launched at the Edinburgh International Science Festival.
Prof Wiseman teamed up with app developers YUZA, which created the ''Dream:ON'' software.
Participants will be encouraged to share their dreams via Facebook and Twitter.
A national survey conducted for the experiment found that 21% of respondents had trouble sleeping and 15% suffered from unpleasant dreams.
Prof Wiseman said depressed people dreamed far more than others, and often had negative dreams.
''Perhaps improving their dreams might help them,'' he added.
The ''Dream:ON'' app can be downloaded for free from iTunes or via the project site, http://dreamonapp.com.
Throughout history, dreams have been associated with creative thinking.
Here are some examples of creative dreams:
Chemist Friedrich August Kekule dreamed about a snake grabbing its own tail, which led him to discover the circular structure of the benzene molecule.
Elias Howe, inventor of the sewing machine, dreamed about a tribe who danced around him carrying spears with holes near their tips.
Mary Shelley found the inspiration for her Frankenstein story in a dream about scientists creating life.
Paul McCartney awoke to find the tune for the Beatles hit Yesterday fully formed in his head.
Jack Nicklaus invented a new golf swing after dreaming that he was holding his golf club in a completely different position.

From children's consignment to West Coast flair, several new stores have opened on the Peninsula this year. Here are the details on these new spots to shop.
Brigitte's Closet, Coffee & Consignment, Hampton
You may remember that little Phoebus coffee shop once made world-famous by the presence of Al Jazeera English during the 2008 presidential election.
The bar remains intact, and coffee is still served, though now suit jackets, formal dresses and designer shoes surround customers.
Brigitte Booker-Rogers and her husband, Michael Rogers, have transformed the store into a consignment boutique, focusing on the designer fashions of professional men and women. Nine West shoes sit on a rack at the front of the store for $20. A Dolce & Gabbana handbag sells for $99. A pair of never-worn Kate Spade shoes from Neiman Marcus is on sale for $99.
The clothes are second-hand, but Brigitte, who hails from Paris, swears she only takes the best. The store owners are also quite proud of their men's collection, which is extensive compared to other consignment shops in the area. Michael may even invite you to check out the bathrooms, to prove that the pair wants customers to feel luxury in every corner of the store.
Info: 33 E. Mellen St., Hampton. 946-0080.
Apricot Lane
Nestled in Patrick Henry Mall in Newport News, Apricot Lane caters to 20-somethings and older with its West Coast-inspired merchandise. Flowing silhouettes, wide-brimmed hats and loads of chunky costume jewelry can outfit a local lady to rival any California character. Look closely to find specialty items like legging boot straps.
Prices are higher than many of the other mall stores. Blouses range from $50 to $80, with many dresses nearing the $100 mark. But though your teen may find some outfit inspiration in this locally owned boutique, it's mom who will leave the Apricot Lane dressing room looking hip.
Info: Patrick Henry Mall, 12300 Jefferson Ave., Newport News. 249-4305.
Closets of Camelot
With mom taken care of at Brigitte's, Phoebus shoppers can walk a few steps to Closets of Camelot to outfit their tots.
A consignment store focused on babies and toddlers — though clothing ranges into pre-teen sizes — Closets of Camelot primarily houses clothing items, though equipment, books, toys and bedroom décor are all accepted. A local crafter provides handmade bows.
Right now, owner Souade Knight is offering 50 percent off to customers who become a fan of the store's Facebook page.
Info: 15 E. Mellen St., Hampton. 722-3919.
Zoe's Dynasty Collectibles
Consignment is the theme for this year's new store openings, and Zoe's is no exception. Set up like a maze, the store incorporates clothing, home décor, knick knacks and everyday items into one space, though most has an Asian theme.
The clothing, home décor and collectible items are generally of thrift store quality, and although there are some good buys, many of the items are priced higher than local competitors. The store is worth a stop for shoppers who are looking for unique and low-priced China.
Consignors make out well, earning 70 percent of the selling price — higher than the more typical 50 or 60 percent consignment split.
Info: 10600 Warwick Blvd., Newport News. 599-6705.
Tuesday Morning
Although there are several Tuesday Morning stores on the Peninsula, the newest spot near Patrick Henry Mall in Newport News is worth a look.
While some Tuesday Morning locations can take on a junk store feel, this new spot emulates a Burlington Coat Factory or well-organized T.J. Maxx in both price and atmosphere, without the emphasis on clothing.
Though the organizational focus is still on rows of shelves packed with goods, items are categorized, lined up and presented in a more clean-cut format. Particularly good prices can be found on some of the toys, and the pillow selection is surprisingly upscale. This is also a go-to spot to look for bargain luggage, and, if you're already in the Christmas mood, some holiday items can be found in the back.

Ben Franklin
Ben Franklin in York County threatened to close, stayed opened a bit longer, hosted a "Going Out of Business" sale, closed, then boasted a "Grand Opening" sale a few weeks ago.
What the new owners want shoppers to take away is that the crafts chain, although named Ben Franklin, is not affiliated with the previous store. A new beading department is the pride of the new store, and employees — many of whom worked at the previous store — claim that the shelves are stocked with a more extensive lineup of craft and art supplies.
The new store is certainly interested in promoting its presence with sales. Yankee Candle lovers should sign up for the store's email newsletter. It often boasts deals on the candle brand.
Info: 5007 Victory Blvd., Yorktown. 283-5345.
Quirks of Art
Jenn Raines closed her Williamsburg Kinks, Quirks & Caffeine boutique in August 2010 after failed negotiations with the store's landlord. She took her American crafts business online for a few months and recently opened a new storefront in The Shops at High Street in Williamsburg called Quirks of Art.
The 1,600-square-foot storefront focuses on handcrafted American artisans, and Raines often encourages her loyal shoppers to "shop local."
From wall art to stationary, the store houses funky work that is sure to catch your eye, and, perhaps, your pocketbook.
Info: 1430 High St., Williamsburg. 645-4366.

Make some noise for Spring Semester enrollment!
Spring Semester is starting soon, and registration is under way. Make sure your students are ready.
The term starts Monday, January 14, a little later than students are used to. Faculty, staff and everyone who deals with students can help by reminding students to get registered on time!
Here's how you can help:
Make an announcement in your class.
Make an announcement on Blackboard.
Post the Spring Semester enrollment page on Twitter or Facebook. Here it is: http://ow.ly/fttJe
For the upcoming semester, Columbus State is urging students to "Go For 15"—sign up for at least 15 credit hours. Most Plans of Study call for 15 hours each semester to graduate on time. That translates to five classes per term for most students, although the workload is spread out over the 15-week semester.
Even if students don't feel comfortable taking five classes, taking one additional class can help them complete their degree in a reasonable amount of time. That helps their career timetable!

Alma College rung in the new year with a new major to offer students – Anthropology! Below is an excerpt from their press release. Read the entire article here.
Due to strong interest from students, Alma College has added anthropology to its expanding list of majors.
Mary Theresa Bonhage-Freund, associate professor of sociology and anthropology, says anthropology has long been a popular "program of emphasis" (POE), which is an academic option for students who choose to create an interdisciplinary focused concentration beyond traditional majors. She wasn't surprised when a student signed up to major in anthropology on the first day that students could do so.
"This term, we had to add another section of the introductory anthropology course because there was a waiting list for it," she says. "With this kind of student demand, adding anthropology to Alma's majors makes a lot of sense."
Bonhage-Freund says the skill set that students develop as a result of studying anthropology is in high demand, ensuring that they can explore career possibilities in a wide variety of fields.

MEQUON, Wis. -- After seven years at Concordia University Wisconsin, Jim Ingman, the coach who started the Women's Hockey program, has resigned to spend more time with his family, which recently relocated to the Madison area. Ingman also has served as the Women's Golf coach for the past two seasons.
"It has been a great seven years at CUW," Ingman said. "To build a program from scratch and in four years to be in the final four of our league tournament was a special accomplishment."
A national search for the next Women's Hockey head coach will begin immediately.
"Today I have accepted the resignation of our Women's Hockey and Women's Golf head coach, Jim Ingman," said CUW Director of Athletics Dr. Rob Barnhill. "I wish to thank Coach Ingman and his family for the many years of loyal service to our program, and for all of the value that he has added to the CUW Athletic Department
"Jim undertook the daunting task of starting our program and his DNA will be forever part of the legacy of CUW Women's Hockey and we will miss him personally and professionally. However, at this time, I will begin the process of finding the best women's hockey coach that I can to support the mission of CUW and to achieve the lofty goals that we have for our program."
Ingman came to CUW prior to the 2007-08 season and hit the ground running in starting the program. In just four years he had the Falcons above .500, going 13-11-4 in 2010-11. That season also saw the Falcons advance to the semifinal round of the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs, where they fell to eventual national qualifier, UW-River Falls.
Throughout his seven seasons the Falcons won 48 games. Ingman coached three players to All-NCHA First Team honors and six players earned All-NCHA Honorable Mention recognition under his direction. He also guided two players to All-NCHA Freshman Team accolades.
Prior to coming to CUW, Ingman served as an assistant coach at both NCAA Division I Bemidji State University and NCAA Division III UW-Stevens Point. Ingman was at UW-SP when they were in the inaugural season of the NCHA, the Falcons current league. He has been coaching in the collegiate ranks for 15 seasons and is excited about becoming a fan again.
"My main goal will to be to spend more time with my family," said Ingman. "I am also looking forward to becoming a fan again, something I haven't been able to do for 15 years."
In addition to his Women's Hockey coaching duties, Ingman has also served as the Women's Golf head coach for each of the past two seasons, taking over prior to the fall of 2012. During that time the Falcons have won the past two Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference Championships and Ingman has coached the NACC Golfer of the Year in each of his two seasons, as well as the NCAA Freshman of the Year in 2012-13. He was also named NACC Coach of the Year in 2012-13.
Last spring the Women's Golf team competed in the NCAA Division III Championships under his leadership, which was a first in program history. The Falcons had a good showing as Nina Puch tied tje lowest round at the championships with a 72.
"I'm most going to miss the players I got to work with during my time here," Ingman said. "I'll also miss the other coaches who I got to work with here at CUW. This is a school that has the right vision and the right people to fulfill its mission."

An essential guide for academic scientists and physicians who are considering consulting work in biomedicine
Before signing a consulting agreement, this must-have reference will help you understand the key issues to consider—from intellectual property, confidentiality, and compensation, to often overlooked issues such as indemnity, different classes of stock, and the relevance of insider trading and securities laws.

Connecting with Companies is an invaluable resource for students, staff, and faculty. To assist you with ordering multiple copies for your institution, weve set up the following discount options:
Consulting agreements between academic scientists and corporations not only protect discoveries and intellectual property, but also deal with risks related to securities laws, such as insider trading. Giving advice requires an in depth understanding of these issues and the different cultures of academicians versus corporate lawyers. Edward Klees and Robert Horvitz have applied the same degree of rigor that characterizes the best academic research to understanding the principles and subtleties of these agreements. They provide a clear description of critical issues that are understood by surprisingly few, e.g., liquidation preferences and participation rights of preferred stock. This section alone makes Connecting with Companies worthwhile reading for any academic scientist with an interest in the corporate world.
Ansbert K. Gadicke, Managing Director, MPM Capital
This is the book I wish had been available when I started my first company. I learned an enormous amount from it.
Roger Tsien, University of California at San Diego, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, 2008
I loved this book and all potential consultants in the biomedical field will find it enlightening. I highly recommend it.
Katherine Ku, Director of the Office of Technology Licensing, Stanford University
In this valuable guide, the authors provide a crisp introduction to key issues in academic-industry interactions, making it a must-read for any academic contemplating entry into a consulting agreement.

Google reaffirms intent to derail HTML5 H.264 video with WebM browser pluginsAfter igniting a hailstorm of controversy over its intent to drop HTML5's H.264 support from its Chrome browser, Google has reaffirmed its intent to push its own open WebM video codec via Flash-like plugins for Internet Explorer and Safari users. The reason: Google wants to ship free platforms without incurring external licensing fees.
Google's Mike Jazayeri detailed the company's new push behind WebM by writing in a detailed blog posting that the groups involved in developing the HTML5 video distribution standard "are at an impasse. There is no agreement on which video codec should be the baseline standard."
The impasse that wasn't there
That "impasse" actually occurred years ago, when Opera and Firefox developer Mozilla began pushing to define Ogg Theora as the baseline for HTML5 video, a position that was staunchly opposed by Apple and Nokia back in 2009, in part because their mobile devices already relied on the hardware optimized H.264 video codec. Conversely, Mozilla rejected H.264 because it involved paying royalty fees.
The HTML5 working group members finally agreed to disagree; rather than defining Ogg Theora or H.264 or anything else as the "baseline" codec for video served via the HTML5 video tag, they left the decision up to the market and to the votes of web users and Internet broadcasters. This decision parallels how HTML works with every other type of media file; there is no baseline graphic or audio format, for example, which allows web publishers to decide for themselves whether to use GIF, JPEG, or PNG graphics formats, or whether to use MP3, AAC, or raw WAV audio files. Modern browsers support them all.
Ever since the debate about HTML5 video was settled in the specification by simply skipping over a defined "baseline" video format, web video producers have overwhelmingly chose to move to H.264. There's a few good reasons for this. First, H.264 is very efficient at compressing data, and lots of tools exist that can encode data at high quality and high speed.
Secondly, H.264 was already widely supported by consumer devices and applications, in particular Apple's iPod and iPhone and iTunes, which essentially only play H.264. Apple's strong push behind H.264 and its openness as a standard that anyone can implement (although there are royalties involved) has encouraged hardware makers to similarly offer mobile devices that very efficiently play H.264 video using hardware acceleration.
Baseline video among browsers: H.264
On the web, all of the major browsers added the ability to play H.264 video apart from Firefox, which held onto the ideal of only supporting Ogg Theora because handling H.264 would involve licensing fees that Mozilla would have to cover for a potentially unlimited number of users that might reuse its code under the GPL license that Firefox is offered under. That makes licensing H.264 prohibitively expensive for Firefox.
That situation created two camps of browsers: one, the commercial browsers from Google (Chrome), Apple (Safari), and Microsoft (Internet Explorer), all of whom have no problem paying for the H.264 license, and the open source browsers from Google (Chromium) and Mozilla (Firefox), neither of which could properly license H.264 for an unlimited global audience under the GPL/LGPL. Google's new policy shifts Chrome into the second group.
However, the vast majority of Firefox users are running on Windows or Mac OS X, both of which already supply licensed code supporting H.264 video playback. Thus, the only users affected by the "impasse" described by Google are Linux users. This is currently a commercially insignificant demographic, but Google has aspirations of shifting the world to Linux, in mobile devices with its Android OS and among netbooks and low end PCs with its upcoming Chrome OS. If this happens, the tiny market share of Linux among consumers will suddenly matter.

Subscribe To Twilight: Michael Sheen Sees Aro As A Sociopathic, Sentimental Old Fool Updates
I've already subscribed
Successfully adapting a character from the page to the screen isn't always about playing the person exactly as he or she was written. Sometimes the most successful transitions are about emphasizing a certain personality trait that's downplayed in the text.
At least that's Michael Sheen's point of view. The veteran actor who plays the deliciously evil Aro in the Twilight series couldn't get over the bored bemusement he saw in the character while reading Stephenie Meyer's books, and during each of his appearance, he tried to draw that perspective out, giving fans a vampire who enjoys nothing more than seeing something new. Here's what he said during a recent press conference in Los Angeles...
"One of the things I've always liked about the character as Stephenie wrote him and hinted at in the books is the idea that he thinks of himself as this sentimental old fool who watches the young people having fun and then likes to kill them."
It was that decision from Sheen that shaped Aro's basic personality in the movies, and in the actor's mind, he thinks it makes him ultimately more terrifying too. Because he's so relaxed, in control and bemused by everything, it makes his behavior creepier and more intimidating…
"I like the idea of someone who is constantly amusing himself. It brings a little more human to him, and I think hopefully, it allows the moments that really are horrible to be chilling. I really creeped myself out in this film, and I don't normally do that. There are moments when you suddenly see how much he enjoys the violence and the general meanness. The smiles show the insanity underneath."
One of the true signs of how well a character adaptation works is whether most fans can picture another actor handling the role. I'm not sure I know anyone who doesn't now see Aro as the vision Sheen gave us. His villain might not be a spot-on embodiment, but the result is still captivating during every single moment on the screen.

- Marking pens.
- Packing tape and scissors.
- Wrapping paper. Don't use newspaper as the ink will rub off on your possessions.
- Furniture pads or sheets.
- Rope or bungi cords.
Pack everything up
- Pack one room at a time. Start by packing things that are not used as often or are off-season.
- Pack and label one box of clothing, bathroom and kitchen items you think you'll need right away.
- Wrap plates and saucers in paper or bubble pack. Don't stack them flat, but on-end in well padded boxes.
- Wrap cups, bowls, and glasses; nest them and cushion with towels, pot holders or bubble pack.
- Leave clothing in drawers. Take advantage of the "cushioning" in the drawers and wrap fragile items loosely in clothing.
- Use wardrobe boxes as "mini closets" - they're a lifesaver for packing.
Appliances and Electronics
- Pack your appliances in factory boxes if possible. Cushion them with bubble pack, wadded paper or towels.
- Beds: take apart and mark each piece for easy assembly. Tape bed rails together and protect mattresses with fitted sheets or mattress covers.
- Chairs: wrap arms and legs with clean paper or bubble pack and cover with furniture pads.
- Tables: remove table legs and pad and tie together. Put hardware in plastic bags and tape these under the tabletop.
- Lamps: pack lamp shades in boxes with bubble pack. Wrap lamp bases in paper or bubble pack and pack in boxes
- Valuable personal items like jewelry, checkbook, collectible, money, and important papers - these should be kept with you.
- Paint, alcohol, solvents or insecticides. They are dangerous to move so dispose of them before you move.
Load the truck:
- Load one quarter of the truck at a time, packing as solidly as possible from floor to ceiling.
- Load the largest items first. Place the heaviest items forward in the truck. Put heavy boxes on the bottom and lighter ones on top.
- Place mattresses, sofas, and tables on edge against truck walls and tie down.
- Tie large mirrors and picture frames upright to truck walls or place between mattresses.
- Place oddly shaped items along the walls or on top of the load. Roll rugs and place in the center of the truck.
Notifications and transfers
Change of address notification
- Postal Service.
- Credit card companies - when you next pay your bill.
- Magazines & periodicals - some require 4-6 weeks notice.
- Notify all utility companies for new or transferred services
Get Copies of:
- Legal, medical, and insurance records and put in a safe place.
- School records or have them transferred to your children's new school.
- Pharmacy prescriptions or have them transferred to a local pharmacy.
- Notify the Registry of Motor Vehicles of your new address. If you've moved from a different state, get a new driver's license and register your vehicle(s) in this state.
- Cancel (or transfer) memberships to any clubs or facilities. Ask about partial refunds
Moving Day Tips
- Have cash, credit cards, checkbook, & a phone card on hand for incidentals & emergencies during the move.
- Pack a special box of things you will need immediately upon arrival - toiletries, medicine, first aid kit, and a phone.
- Save your moving receipts. In some situations, moving expenses are tax deductible.
After the move
- Register to vote. Call your local board of elections for information.
- Locate the nearest hospital, police & fire stations. Write down their phone numbers and post near each phone.
- Get Renter's Insurance to be sure your valuables are covered.

I worked at the Wee Kirk O'the Heather wedding chapel and one night around 11:30pm I was all alone and was finishing up paperwork, I noticed a women standing there watching me. She was dressed in 40's style clothing with dark hair in a bun. The owner refuses to believe this, the cold spots and so on. However, the manager did believe me and the next day, I was told to look at some pictures of the original husband and wife that started this chapel back in 1940. There she was...standing on the front lawn with her husband the minister dressed in the same outfit I had seen her in the night before. The Chapel is still located in their homestead. Her hubby opened a store front on Fremont but after a short time, she decided to turn her home into the Chapel. So....that's my first personal experience in Vegas.
I am sure that Bonnie Springs is haunted. However, trying to get into the town after dark is difficult.
Then, the old Debbie Reynold's Hotel, now the Greek Isles is haunted. The back of the showroom, behind the stage is extemely active with paranormal activity. Some of the employes refuse to even go back there. They feel the cold spots, get pushed and hear unusual noises and voices. I could never get to the bottom of the history, if in fact an employee died back there. But, those were two places that I worked and know first hand of paranoraml activity! Good Luck!
Any haunted locations in Las Vegas?

I live in Las Vegas as well and i would be up for a serious ghost hunt as well! ^^
I've had multiple paranormal encounters and i'm ready to explore them.

Throughout the American West, an intense demand for water—for agriculture and other human uses—jeopardizes the health of our rivers, streams, and lakes. Fish and wildlife communities that depend on these water sources are increasingly stressed as consumptive demands rise and an extended drought takes its toll.
NFWF's Western Water Program works with willing sellers and other stakeholders to acquire and transfer established water rights to improve critical water flows in streams, lakes, wetlands, and riparian areas. These voluntary transactions include a wealth of negotiated agreements that help to maintain and restore critical freshwater habitats while addressing the needs of farmers and ranchers and the communities in which they live.
The Western Water Program currently includes five major place-based initiatives:
In addition to water transaction initiatives in the Klamath Basin in southern Oregon and northern California, NFWF is currently working to develop similar freshwater restoration initiatives in the Sierra Nevada/Central Valley/Bay-Delta watershed of California, the upper and lower Colorado River Basins and other bi-national watersheds of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.

Which teaching strategies are the secret to classroom discipline? Why can some teachers walk into any class and magically take control?
If this is not the case for you, perhaps you need some simple ideas to inspire you?
This site will show you precisely how the 'magic' works and how you can master it in weeks rather than years.
Ready to go? Just hop over to the 'Status' button on the left for one of the biggest secrets that I have discovered in my eighteen-year career.
I have been using these strategies regularly with consistent success, in some of the most demanding inner-city schools. I have also taught them to many new teachers, struggling with classroom management. And they work. What's the secret? Here are a few of the key insights that will transform your experience of teaching:
⁃You will discover NLP; the key brain technology that helps you model success. In class and in life.
⁃You will find your unique 'voice' and teacher persona.
⁃You will become a 'status' player and keep one step ahead in classroom discipline.
⁃You will practice assertive discipline.
⁃You will teach to your students' learning styles to reach them more quickly.
⁃You will master lesson planning for all abilities.
⁃You will learn to prioritize your health and stay organized.
Good luck and remember to enjoy the process!Teaching Strategies for Classroom Discipline
What people are saying:
'Looks like we have a very high quality addition to the educational twittersphere. Rob really knows his behaviour onions' @futurebehaviour.
'Really useful advice. Thank you! Helps consolidate everything I felt but didn't know how to put into words'. Jane. MFL Teacher, London.
Using your material helped me so much in my practice lesson. They were so impressed with my classroom management; they offered me the job! Melissa, Cover Supervisor, London.

Afternoon boys & girls!
So the final playoff matches have been completed and that sparks the end of what has been, in my opinion, a brilliant season of European Dueling.
Of course I need to say a huge congratulations to turSKA who completed and dominated an incredible flawless victory in the Premiership - Well done, mate! Im looking forward to seeing you compete next season with, hopefully, some even closer matches!
To the second division - Fluffles! What can I say? I remember Fluffbag from whence I first joined zd and I've watch him come from stride to stride and to complete his division without losing a match is amazing - What a final, too! Very impressed and very proud. Good luck next season, dude!
Division 3! Modenese, this was a pleasure to watch you firstly dominate the division but you had some tough games en route which made this a very entertaining season for division 3. You'll have a great time competing in division 2 and I can see you going far! Keep up the good work, congrats buddy.
More peeps to thank:
Kilgore - Thanks for making edl an official league with the forums and servers etc. You've helped in more ways than I could list. I look forward to doing more leagues!
Evo - Nice work with compiling the wad. Made life a lot easier from the start.
Krawa - More servers etc. You're always happy to help, it doesn't go without appreciation. Thanks!
Fx02 - All the demo uploads and hosting - That's a major part of edl and im thrilled you can help!
Gyrossman - We're becoming a little bit of a double act here
this league simply would not have been successful without your help. All that chasing players and uploading everything as well as helping with rules etc. Priceless support. Much love!
And anyone else I've missed!!
Thanks to all that took part to make this an amazing league. Im expecting next season to be up and running by November with signups a month beforehand so get yourself training for that!

I must say that despite the lack of motivation of certain players, this league was the most fun I've had in a long time! I'll surely be around when the next season comes.
It was also very cool to see the duel server packed full almost every time there was an official match, no matter the division!

Thanks alot nero
. It was a really fun and very tense season. This has been one of the first ever doom tournament type events I've ever came first in. Ever since I realised that I'd be getting a perfect internet connection I kept to training up as much as possible and I would never of been able to get close to first without the practice especially with other players influences.
Also it's really great how the zdaemon europe scene is becoming very popular with dueling now. Would be even better if more people could come back and join up on these leagues and play in some of the public servers again!

Congrats fellow division winners and runner ups! It was nice to get some good euro duels going on again.
Like titan said; big thanks to Sedlo for pulling some strings and getting us a reliable l@p server to play on.
Looking forward to next season!

Well done Nero and Gyro, great job running this, and congrats to the winners although not surprised Turska dominated, the guy is a machine. Great to see Fluffy showing how good a player he is since his connection was upgraded from steam powered, and congrats Modenese, good to see you win your league.
I might dust off the old tartan SSG for the bottom division if there is another one of these.

The rock of the Sooke Potholes is basalt from the Metchosin Igeous Complex, and these rocks, especially if hit by lightning, are very strongly magnetized.
