Online gaming more than just fun
As I discussed two weeks ago, the U.S. ranks 19th in the world when it comes to Internet download speed. The fastest country is South Korea. We need to do better. The Obama administration's applaudable goal is to have broadband in every home, school and workplace. So last month the Federal Communications Commission raised an interesting point by asking: Just what is "broadband?"
As reported on ArsTechnica.com, the computer gaming industry is not pleased with the response that AT&T filed with the FCC. It suggested that online games should be relegated to the category of being nice but not essential. "For Americans who today have no terrestrial broadband service at all," AT&T wrote the Commission, "the pressing concern is not the ability to engage in real-time, two-way gaming, but obtaining meaningful access to the Internet's resources and to reliable email communications and other basic tools that most of the country has come to expect as a given."
This did not sit well with the Entertainment Software Association. Online video games "are no less important to the future of the Internet than email and web browsing were to the past and are today," a senior ESA representative told the Commission on Wednesday.
They're used for employee training and in schools, he noted. "Online video games are a meaningful part of our participative culture. They remove geographic barriers, connecting people from across the country and around the world. They teach cooperation, cultivate leadership skills, and empower users to express their creativity."
Google's submission took the most sensible approach. "Ultimately what interests us about broadband is not what it is, but what it enables," the search engine giant wrote to the Commission. Broadband should be defined at speeds "that enable full utilization of broadband services and applications." The connections should be "sufficiently robust" enough to let users "receive, generate and interact with voice, data, graphics and video, which will enable users to receive the maximum value of broadband."
Google's dream definition of broadband? "A high-quality, 'always on,' packet switched, technology-neutral, high speed communications transmission platform," the company suggests. "This platform further should allow users to harness the Internet, access and upload content, and otherwise engage in high-speed two-way connectivity and interactivity."

Spicy Chorizo-Clam Sauce on Pasta
My husband loves clams, so I'm always finding new ways to serve them. When my fishmonger presented me with some beautiful fresh clams, I came home and whipped up this Spicy Chorizo-Clam Sauce.
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven and add chopped onion. Sauté until almost caramelized, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add diced tomato, clam juice, wine and saffron threads and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add chipotle, crushed tomatoes and cooked sausage, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Place clams on top of sauce, cover and simmer until clams open. Spoon the sauce over the pasta.

The Victims of Mill Tailings Exposure annual dinner and cancer walk was held on June 9, with crowds well exceeding those who participated the previous year. VMTE Secretary Cathy Hatch reports that more than 250 people attended the dinner that was provided by the Monticello Lions Club and more than 200 people participated in the walk at the mill site, nearly double those from 2011.
The 2012 event honored long time Monticello resident Marilee Bailey, who recently lost her battle with cancer. Bailey believed strongly in the VMTE program and worked diligently for the cause.
Each participant at the event was presented with an angel pin given to remember Marilee. Following a program at the Millsite, where Steve Young and Barbra Pipkin spoke and Cyndi Burtenshaw and Jennifer Hellewell preformed a special musical number, Bailey's family lighted the torch in honor and remembrance of cancer victims which was placed at the kiosk on the site.
During the walk, the pathway was lighted by luminaries placed by Easton Bowring for his Eagle Scout project. The luminaries had been decorated by local church youth and elementary students. Bowring had also collected more than $1,000 in donations from local residents and businesses.
VMTE Secretary Cathy Hatch praised all who participated and helped put the event together. "We felt like it was a really positive and meaningful event in honor of Marilee," she said. "We had a great turn out."
Hatch reports that the VMTE cancer screening voucher program is still going on. Hatch said that the program has money to assist anyone who lived, worked or went to school in Monticello from 1941 to 2000. People can apply for a voucher at the Health Department office at the San Juan County Courthouse in Monticello.
The voucher can be used to cover the costs of screening services that primary insurance does not cover, or the cost of the screening for those with no insurance. Hatch points out that people can also apply for help with treatment costs and travel reimbursements.
Hatch said that people should be screened every two years, and those who have already had a voucher can apply every two years for a new screening voucher. Those who have doctors orders for screening more regularly can get funding assistance as needed.
The money for the program is provided by federal grant, and the VMTE committee is continually seeking additional funding. The Health Department is open for applications Tuesday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and can be reached for questions by calling (435) 587-2021.
Hatch encourages everyone to "Get screened. We help pay for a colonoscopy. I am shocked by how many people come back with polyps. There are so many who we don't even know the results because they don't report back to us. I would highly recommend you have your regular screening and have a colonoscopy. Try to be as preventative as possible."

Serie A: Napoli moved closer to Roma with a 2-0 win, while Juventus were victorious
Napoli moved closer to the top of Serie A with a 2-1 away win at Fiorentina, while Juventus cruised to a 4-0 victory.
Last Updated: 31/10/13 9:14am
Jose Maria Callejon opened the scoring after just 12 minutes, but Serie A top-scorer Giuseppe Rossi levelled things up from the penalty spot just before the half-hour.
Dries Mertens scored what proved to be the winner in the 36th minute, but there was late drama as Napoli's Cristian Maggio was dismissed 10 minutes from time and Juan Guillermo Cuadrado ensured both sides finished with 10 men in the dying seconds.
Juventus are also two points back after a convincing 4-0 win over Catania.
Arturo Vidal and Andrea Pirlo both scored in the first half with Carlos Tevez and Leonardo Bonucci adding to the score after the break.
Tiberio Guarente was sent off six minutes from time for Catania, but Juve did not add to their tally.
Roma are likely to extend their lead back to five points on Thursday as they defend their 100 per cent record against a Chievo side without a win in five games.
Hellas Verona sit eight points back from the leaders following a 2-0 win over Sampdoria.
Juan Ignacio Gomez Taleb and Luca Toni struck in the second half to ensure Verona kept pace with Inter Milan, who could only draw with Atalanta on Tuesday night.
Kaka was on target for Inter's city rivals AC as they drew 1-1 with Lazio.
The Brazilian opened the scoring nine minutes into the second half, but Michael Ciani ensured a point for the capital side in the 72nd minute.
Alessio Cerci's late equaliser snatched a point for Torino and denied Livorno a remarkable come-from-behind win.
Goals from Ciro Immobile and Kamil Glik had the visitors 2-0 up within eight minutes, but Sergio Paulinho, Leandro Greco and Ramos Emerson had Livorno ahead before Cerci's 87th-minute strike made it 3-3.
Luis Muriel's goal 11 minutes into the second half allowed Udinese to see off Sassoulo 2-1.
Antonio Di Natale put Udinese ahead from the penalty spot before Simone Zaza, who was later sent off, equalised for Sassuolo.
Bologna cruised to a 3-0 win over 10-man Cagliari.
Gyorgy Garics opened the scoring before Nicola Murru was sent off and Panagiotis Kone and Michele Pazienza soon rounded off the win.
In the evening's other game, Alberto Gilardino scored the only goal as Genoa beat Parma 1-0.

Machado, Hardy, Jones win Gold Gloves
Manny is O's first 3B winner since Brooks; J.J., Adam repeat
BALTIMORE -- A historic Orioles defense was rewarded handily on Tuesday night, as three Baltimore players earned Rawlings Gold Glove Awards: shortstop J.J. Hardy, center fielder Adam Jones and third baseman Manny Machado.
It marks the second consecutive year the Orioles have had a trio of American League Gold Glove recipients, recognized for their exceptional defense. The total tied the Kansas City Royals for most in the Major Leagues.
"I'm just proud of the work they put in and it's an honor to watch them play defense. They care about it because they realize how important it is," manager Buck Showalter said of his club, which had three other nominees -- catcher Matt Wieters, first baseman Chris Davis and right fielder Nick Markakis -- to round out a defense that set Major League records for fewest errors (54), highest fielding percentage (.991) and errorless games (119).
"It's certainly a part of the culture a lot of people talk about it, but you got to have the players."
"You always have it in the back of your mind that you always want to win a Gold Glove," said Machado, who is in the second week of his rehab after undergoing knee surgery to repair a season-ending injury.
"I was kind of surprised when my name got called and I'm just honored. ... It wasn't something that happened myself, it helped me out having Buck and [third base coach] Bobby Dickerson with me every day and learning from J.J., who has won a Gold Glove in the past, learning from him how he goes about his business. And obviously [Davis] over there helping out with all the throws I made.
It's a team thing and you can see that with how many players we had nominated."
None were more impressive than Machado, who beat out Texas' Beltre and Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria, leading the League in fielding percentage (.973), assists (355), double plays turned (42) and range factor (3.02), and finishing second with 116 putouts. The 21-year-old All-Star's 32 total zone runs, which is the number of runs above average the player was worth based on the number of plays made, was the highest total for any defender in the Majors in 2013 and tied for 12th all-time. It was also the best defensive season by an AL infielder since Mark Belanger's 35 in 1975.
Additionally, Machado's 4.4 defensive wins above replacement led the league and was the third-highest total in baseball, tying him for the eighth-highest single-season total in history at any position.
Hardy is the third shortstop in O's history to win the award in consecutive years, joining Cal Ripken Jr. (1991-92) and Belanger (six straight, 1973-78). The captain of the Orioles infield, Hardy led all AL shortstops in games (159) and double plays turned (108) and also ranked in the top four in assists (2nd -- 403), putouts (3rd -- 230), total zone runs (3rd -- 4) and fielding percentage (4th -- .981).
"It's something that I don't think will ever get old," Hardy said of adding another Gold Glove to his collection. "It's a true honor. It was just as exciting this year as it was last year for me."
Jones led all AL center fielders in games (156), assists (11) and putouts (352) and was third in fielding percentage (.995). It is the third time in the last four seasons he has led AL center fielders in putouts. The 28-year-old, who also got engaged on Tuesday, was out of the country and unavailable for comment.
"The players get all the credit. They do all the work, but the other thing to keep in mind was the emphasis the management team put on defense," said executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette of an Orioles club that had at least three winners for the 10th time in team history. "That's a credit to Buck and his coaches and to the pride that all these men take in their job."
The Orioles' 67 Gold Gloves, by 17 players, is the second-highest total by any team since the award was created in 1957 (St. Louis, 84) and the most in the American League. And the 2013 club will go down in history as one of baseball's best.
"I don't think I've been a part of something like this," Hardy said of the Orioles' collective efforts in the field. "It was pretty special, pretty much every position was an outstanding job."

text: bourbonmed Posted September 20, 2000 In a typical liquor store or bar, scotch occupies significantly more shelf space than bourbon. Unfortunately, I dislike scotch, single malts, blends, they all seem to share a puke-inducing medicinal smell (peat??) no matter how undeniably smooth the drink may be once it gets past the nose. But with so many single malts crowding the shelves, I asked my bartender if he knew of any scotch that tasted like bourbon. He gave me a shot of Dalmore Cigar Malt, which tasted and smelled much like Kentucky's amber elixir. It was great. Just for fun, are there other 'bourbon-like' scotches lurking out there?Omar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the Intellectual is a Thug
As a rule, when intellectuals contribute to public debate on any issue of public concern in any country, it is an entirely wholesome development, and one deserving every encouragement. That is truer if the intellectuals involved know how to communicate even the most abstruse area of knowledge vividly, clearly, compellingly. For, when we say we desire 'informed public opinion', one of the best ways of bringing that about is by encouraging well-trained minds on any subject relevant to a public policy question of general concern to help their fellow-citizens by throwing a bright light on the subject. That is why news and current affairs editors everywhere try to maintain a roster of experts that can be called upon to comment on issues occasioning public controversy.

I hope that you have all had a lovely Easter weekend! We started celebrating Friday night with our annual easter egg decorating dinner, continued on last night by the making of the Easter Story Cookies and celebrated all day today from breakfast, church, egg hunt to dinner! We sort of squeezed in all of our Easter activities into one weekend, so I'll be doing several Easter posts this week but here are some snapshots of our weekend...
Grace drew this picture on Good Friday after Bryce told the children the story of Jesus' death. I will never get used to hearing this story.
This sight made me happy, men guarding the "tomb". This was the finishing touch to the Easter Story Cookies that we make every year.
They were (mostly) hollow this morning!
This year Grace's Easter basket was themed around gardening.
Harris's basket was themed around fun and games.
For breakfast we had bunny bottoms!
While I made lunch (that turned into dinner, it took so long), Grace and Harris tried out one of the items in Harris' basket. It is appropriately named HOP!
These ranunculus were so happy and the perfect Easter colors!
These are probably my favorite place card holders ever! Grace made them from Sculpy clay and they were adorable. The idea is from here.

Columbus, Ohio - The Ferris State University men's basketball team picked up its fourth consecutive win and remained unbeaten in Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) play with a 69-60 road victory at Ohio Dominican on Saturday (Dec. 3) afternoon in Columbus, Ohio.
FSU took a commanding 40-23 halftime advantage, but was outscored 37-29 by the host Panthers in the second half. ODU trimmed the lead down to seven points late in the game but could get no closer as the Bulldogs held on for their first-ever win at ODU's Alumni Hall in their first trip to Columbus.
With the victory, Ferris State improved to 4-3 overall and the defending GLIAC North Division champions are now 2-0 in conference play. Saturday's win gave the Bulldogs a sweep of their two-game road trip to Ohio following Thursday's triumph at Tiffin.
Junior guard Kenny Brown (Farmington Hills/Harrison) led the Bulldogs with 16 points in the contest while junior forward Daniel Sutherlin (Detroit/Renaissance) tallied his third-straight double-double showing with 14 points and 10 rebounds.
Senior guard Dontae Molden (Detroit/Pershing) chipped in 12 points for FSU while senior forward Jerrell Sanders (Grand Rapids/Creston) added eight points and a game-high 12 rebounds. He also had a team-high three assists for FSU.
Ferris State shot 42.3% from the field and hit seven-of-17 (41.2%) three-pointers in addition to 18-of-25 (72%) free throws. FSU also forced 17 turnovers defensively and limited ODU to only 41.7% shooting, including just 34.6% in the first frame.
Ohio Dominican had three players reach double-figure scoring and was led by Zack Joseph's 13 points. Aaron Gibbs recorded 11 points and 10 boards in a double-double while Morgan Jones totaled 10 points in the setback.
The Panthers made only two-of-eight (25%) three's and were 18-of-22 (81.8%) at the charity stripe.
Ferris State held a decisive 41-24 rebounding advantage and came down with 13 offensive caroms to only four for the Panthers, who are in their second year as a GLIAC member. That helped FSU own a 13-2 margin in second chance production.
The Bulldogs finished with 12 steals, 11 assists and three blocked shots with Ohio Dominican netting 10 steals, six assists and a single block. FSU had 17 turnovers with 13 coming in the second half.
FSU never trailed in the contest after scoring the first 11 points of the game, but was outscored 30-22 in the paint and 23-19 in points off turovers. ODU's bench also contributed 23 points compared to only 11 for the Bulldog reserves. However, Ferris State held a commanding 18-6 edge in fast break scoring.
The win improved FSU's all-time mark to 2-0 against the Panthers following a home win in the first-ever matchup at Jim Wink Arena in Big Rapids a year ago.
The Bulldogs will host Alma in non-league play on Tuesday, Dec. 6, at Wink Arena. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m. (ET).
FSU will then return to conference action next Saturday, Dec. 10, at Northwood with the game slated for a 6 p.m. (ET) start inside the Bennett Sports Center at Midland, Mich.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today welcomed visitors coming to Lincoln for the annual Husker spring football game at Memorial Stadium and urged them to plan ahead for travel and parking. Interstate 80 exits can be very congested on game days, so fans are encouraged to use Highway 6 (Cornhusker Highway), Highway 34 ("O" Street), the West Bypass and the Airport Exit as alternate routes. The City has no major street construction projects under way that would adversely affect traffic flow.
The City recommends reserving pre-paid, event parking at either lincoln.ne.gov or parkitdowntown.org until midnight Friday. City parking facilities offering all-day parking at the following garages and lots:
In addition to its regular routes, StarTran will provide Big Red Express bus service at two locations:
Buses will drop-off and depart from the east side of the stadium. The cost is $4 each way, and passengers will need exact change. The last buses will leave from the express lots to the stadium about 45 minutes prior to kickoff. Buses will depart immediately following the conclusion of the game. For more information, call 476-1234 or visit startran.lincoln.ne.gov.

- #BrooksMuseum
The Brooks' holdings of ancient Western art include works from cultures around the Mediterranean Sea. Dating between ca. 1400 B.C.E. to 100 C.E., the collection represents Greek art—from both the mainland and southern Italian colonies, and pieces by Roman and Egyptian artists. It includes ceramic vessels, textiles, and metalwork as well as stone carving and mosaic. Among the museum's notable works is a pair of late Roman sarcophagus panels depicting The Good Shepherd and a Greco-Roman torso of Pan. Complementing the Brooks' holdings is a collection of ancient objects from around the Mediterranean and the Middle East which are on long-term loan from the Clarence Day Foundation. These comprise ceramics, metalwork, glass, and stone carving, ranging in date from ca.2000 B.C.E. to 1100 C.E. Highlights of the Day collection include Roman portrait busts, a Greek funeral stele, and a Byzantine censor.


text: It has been a busier than expected week, so I've been putting off another post thanks to that and the relative quiet in the realm of volcanoes as of late. Today I have a new Vulcan's View with some great images of volcanoes as seen from orbiting platforms - many of them taken in the last few weeks. If you're looking for a full summary of the week's activity, remember, you can find that on the USGS/Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program's Weekly Volcanic Activity Report. Enjoy! Nyamuragira, Congo Last week, when I highlighted some volcano observatories around the world in marking the 100th anniversary of the Hawaii Volcano Observatory, I was accused of not really covering the whole planet, so I thought I'd atone for some of that. I did get a pleasant email from a fellow at the Goma Volcano Observatory in the Congo that watches over Nyiragongo and Nyamuragira, so it seemed an appropriate place to start. The lava flows continue from the current eruption of Nyamuragira and the recent images of the volcano show the lava flow, especially in the infrared (see above). Check out some of these recent pictures of the eruption from Photovolcanica as well. Image: The lava flow from Nyamuragira in the Congo seen in late January 2012. NASA, courtesy of R. Simmon.Emi Koussi, Chad A great juxtaposition of different geologic features was published by the NASA Earth Observatory that highlighted a meteor crater and a volcano. The volcano, Emi Koussi, is one we've seen before on this blog as it appeared as a Mystery Volcano Photo a few years back. Emi Koussi is a relatively rare type of volcano - a pyroclastic shield - where volcanic deposits from explosive eruptions have spread out laterally and produced a low, broad edifice. Located in Chad, Emi Koussi is still considered potentially active, but the date of the most recent volcanism is unclear - the low rates of weathering in Chad mean it could be thousands of years (or more) since the last eruption. Image: Emi Koussi (right) and the Aorounga Impact crater (left) in Chad seen in a November 26, 2011 image. Courtesy of the NASA Earth ObservatoryJebel Zubair, Red Sea The eruption at Jebel Zubair seems to have subsided considerably and without that pesky plume in the way, we can see clearly the new island that has formed in the Red Sea. The island looks pretty substantial, so unlikely to be quickly eroded by the wave/storm action in the Red Sea. In fact, when you look at the Zubair Group as a whole, the new island is pretty significant in terms of area - it shows how quickly you can produce an island when it is in a volcanically-active area. Also notice in this image how many volcanic cones there are - every island has a crater on it and some have multiple craters visible. The large island at the bottom looks to have fresh, dark lava flows defining its coast, while the lighter-colored island to the north looks more heavily weathering and possibly fringed with reefs (a typical lifecycle of a volcanic island). Image: The new island formed in the Zubair Group in the Red Sea, as seen on January 15, 2012. Courtesy of the NASA Earth ObservatoryTurrialba, Costa Rica I was asked to write part of the caption for a recent NASA Earth Observatory image of the recent developments at Costa Rica's Turrialba, so I won't get too indepth here (you should check out the NASA EO page). However, Turrialba did see a new vent open on the opposite side of the active crater - possibly for surprising reasons. If you'd like some entertainment for the next 5 minutes, check out this classic video from the 1950s about Turrialba posted by OVSICORI, the Costa Rican geologic survey Image: A false color image of Turrialba in Costa Rica seen on January 22, 2012. Courtesy of the NASA Earth ObservatoryLáscar, Chile Most of the volcanic activity in Chile over the past few years has been centered in the central to southern part of the country - places like Chaiten, Puyehue-Cordon Caulle, Hudson - but now a volcano in the more northern part of the country is getting some attention. Láscar has shown signs that the volcano may be coming back to life after 4-5 years of quiet. The last few eruptions over the last 20 years have been explosive events caused by dome extrusion and collapse so if any activity were to commence, we might expect more of the same. Láscar has been outfitted with new monitoring equipment and the Chilean government is using UAVs to watch the volcanoes of the country as well. OVDAS even added a second webcam (at the bottom of the page) to watch Láscar if it does start erupting.

Kizimen (seen above), Karymsky and Shiveluch continue to puff along with small explosions and continued dome growth. It would be more surprising to see a week without a Kamchatka update than these with multiple volcanoes active simultaneously.

This mix of water vapor and volcanic gases can do a number on vegetation around the volcano, especially if the emissions mix with fog/clouds to form "vog" that can damage leaves. Both Ambrym and Yasur are consistently active volcanoes along the Vanuatu island chain. Image: Water vapor and sulfur dioxide plume from Ambrym in Vanuatu seen on two days in late January 2012.

Simmon.Hawaii, United States Over the last week, the lava lake at the summit crater at Halema'uma'u on Kilauea has become quite active - and the USGS released some impressive video footage to prove it. Pu'u O'o is also seeing lava lake activity, with a small lava lake filling the central part of the crater floor. Remember, there is more than just Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawai'i, which is the youngest of the Hawaiian Island chain. Five volcanoes make up the island - (from oldest to youngest) Kohala, Mauna Kea, Hualalai, Mauna Loa and Kilauea and one new volcano (Loihi) sits just offshore. All of the volcanoes are considered potentially active except Kohala, but the most vigorous volcanism is on the southeast side of the island as the Pacific Plate crawls over the Hawaii hotspot plume.
