Geometry Proofs: Lines and Planes
Date: 11/09/98 at 22:21:14 From: Anonymous Subject: Geometry proofs Can you help me prove the following three theorems? Theorem 1-1: If 2 lines intersect then they intersect in exactly one point. Theorem 1-2: Through a line and a point not on the line there is exactly one plane. Theorem 1-3: If 2 lines intersect, then exactly one plane contains the lines. Please help me prove them. Thank you!
Date: 11/10/98 at 11:59:49 From: Doctor Peterson Subject: Re: Geometry proofs Hi Jaclyn, I don't know just what postulates and theorems you have to start with. Each book does things a little differently. But since you've been given these to prove yourself, you can guess that they can't be too hard, so everything you need is probably right there in the chapter. I'll give you the basic ideas, and you can fill in the details based on what you know. 1-1: You know that the lines intersect (in at least one point), so you need to prove that they can't intersect in two (or more) points. Suppose they did intersect at two points A and B. You probably have a postulate or theorem that there is only one line between any two points. Do you see how this tells you that what we've supposed is impossible? 1-2: You probably have a theorem or postulate that there is only one plane through three points that are not collinear. Given a line and a point, you can pick any two points on a line and you'll have three points to use. Now you have to prove that not only those three points, but the whole line is in the plane. You may have a theorem that already says that. 1-3: Again, if two lines intersect, you can pick three points to define a plane. You have to prove that both lines are in the plane. You can use what you proved in theorem 1-2 to show that both lines are in this plane. If this isn't enough help, let me know what postulates and theorems immediately precede these. Those are probably what you will need to use. - Doctor Peterson, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

Ray Balberan honored for lifetime helping youths
CALIFORNIA PEACE PRIZE Mission District activist honored as crucial mentor
Published 4:00 am, Monday, November 14, 2011
Ray Balberan's resume cites his 40 years of nonprofit work trying to save kids while chasing violence off the streets of San Francisco - a level of community activism reflected in more than 20 awards, certificates of appreciation, lifetime achievement awards, and as of this week, a California Peace Prize.
But what his impressive work history doesn't include are the untold hours he spent cajoling at-risk youths into school or jobs, driving around the Mission pulling teens off the streets and into pickup basketball games, or consoling families when a drive-by shooter got to them first.

There is no tally of the children he saved and the few he couldn't.
Balberan retired from the daily grind of fighting the good fight with nonprofit case management in 2004, but he is still seeing the reward of a lifetime of work. The rewards come not just from the California Wellness Center and its prestigious Peace Prize, but also from watching younger generations of activists continue the work and the programs he helped create in the 1960s and '70s through sheer will.
"Uncle Ray," as locals know him, more than deserves the recognition he's receiving, said Ricardo Garcia-Acosta, project director of the Northwest Community Response Network, a youth outreach organization where Balberan consults.
"He never got the award when he was standing in front of people with guns," said Garcia-Acosta, one of many community activists Balberan mentored. "It's long overdue for him."
Streets full of memories
On a recent morning, Balberan, 67, climbed into a van just like he used to do in the late-night hours and drove around the Mission District.
Seemingly every corner held a memory, some good, some terrible.
At 16th and Mission streets, there used to be pay phones, he said. That's where a boy called Balberan, who at the time was a case manager at Real Alternatives Program. The teen told him he had a gun and planned to get on a bus and head into enemy gang territory to shoot a rival in a walk-by.
Balberan isn't sure how long he was on the phone with the boy, whom he finally persuaded not to get on that bus.
Praying for rain
At 18th and Capp streets, he pointed to a pizza parlor where he bought pizza for youths who had gathered at the corner to build a street altar to mourn a friend shot and killed on the spot. Most of them were getting "wasted" and were risking further violence by gathering in a large group.
"They were doing what they did for years to deal with grief," Balberan said. "When you're growing up in such toxic environments, your back is always against the wall."
By giving those youths an alternative, he kept them safe for one more day.
"We used to pray for rain," he said. "We prayed for rain many, many nights. It cools the streets."
Balberan said he considered it a good day when he called his long list of young clients to check up on them and they were all still alive and well.
The job could be a roller coaster, with years of efforts in a child wasted with one bullet.
There was one boy who graduated from high school, the first of his friends to make it. During a celebratory limo ride that night, a rival gang sprayed the car, killing the teen's best friend. Two days later, the shooters came back and the boy pulled a gun from the bushes and shot twice. He will probably spend the rest of his life in prison, said Garcia-Acosta, who considers Uncle Ray his mentor.
"One day they can be going to college, the next day they're shooting someone," he said.
But despite the sometimes steep odds, Balberan persisted, coming up with solutions and programs like the community safe havens with late-night sports or movies.
"A lot of that was informal and organic," Garcia-Acosta said, but people in power noticed the success he was having. "The city ended up adopting these models."
Elite group of winners
Balberan, a Vietnam veteran, is one of three honorees this year for the California Peace Prize and the accompanying $25,000 prize. His work curbing violence and helping children, which included pushing to improve conditions at juvenile hall in the 1990s, has put him among an elite group of 39 individuals who have won the award since 1993.
"They represent the thousands of unsung heroes dedicated to improving the health and well-being of California's youth," said Gary Yates, president and CEO of the California Wellness Foundation.
Balberan said he'll be using some of the prize money to support community services and putting some into his granddaughter's college fund.
His wife, Nancy, who has to keep reminding him that he's retired, will get a well-deserved trip to New York, he added.
But then Uncle Ray will be back.
"My heart and soul is the community movement for self-determination," he said with a smile. "Elders have a place in this country."

The death of Malaysian-born lawyer Harinder Veriah in a Hong Kong hospital has sparked a collaboration between her former employer Lovells and her husband to support other young Malaysian lawyers.
The firm has pledged its support to the Harinder Veriah Trust in a move that will see Lovells employ young Malaysian lawyers from marginal backgrounds.
Veriah was born into a Sikh family in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. She practised law in Malaysia before moving to London with her husband, journalist Martin Jacques. After a 15-minute interview, Lovells partner Neil Fagan told her: "You're a self-made woman." And she got the job.
Veriah was seconded to the firm's Hong Kong office in late 1998, but just one year later, on 2 January 2000, she suffered an epileptic fit and died in a Hong Kong hospital. Before she died, she told her husband she felt she was "at the bottom of the pile" at Ruttonjee Hospital because of her ethnicity.
Convinced that her death was the result of racism and "wilful neglect" in the hospital, Jacques embarked on a campaign for justice that continues today.
An inquest recorded death by natural causes, but made no reference to the racism claim. Veriah's death, however, blew open the culture of silence surrounding racism in Hong Kong and spawned campaigns against racial discrimination that subsequently led to the Hong Kong parliament's passing of anti-racism legislation.
While not strictly pro bono work, the trust is designed to offer support and City connections to young Malaysian lawyers from impoverished backgrounds. According to Jacques, it is globalisation in its most basic form.
The programme will see Lovells employ a young Malaysian lawyer from a non-privileged background in its London office for up to two years.
The successful candidate will be employed as a normal fee-earner and paid in sterling at London market rates.
Candidates must be Malaysian citizens who have spent most of their life in Malaysia, and must have between two and six years' experience.
The first of the Malaysian recruits, 31-year-old Murali Ramakrishnan, has joined the fraud and insolvency group in the firm's London office. The son of a postman, Murali says of the trust: "It's opened a lot of doors, which is incredible."
The trustees are Jacques, senior Malaysian judge Justice Dato' James Foong, the eminent Malaysian jurist Dato' Mahadev Shankar and former president of the Malaysian Bar Council Hendon Mohamed.
According to Jacques, the trust is designed to offer those traditionally excluded from the City a chance to see life in an international law firm. "The City is supposed to be this great international place, but there are very few non-white lawyers or those who do not hark from elite backgrounds," says Jacques.
Four years after her death, Veriah's legacy remains. Anyone wanting to offer support to the trust should contact Martin Jacques at www.harinderveriah.com.

For folks who have been following the BART/Oakland Airport Connector saga–whereby Alameda's BART Rep, Carol Ward Allen's pet-project, a half-billion glorified ski-lift to the airport, keeps receiving more and more regional transportation money even as it is repeatedly shown that BART project and executive staff are presenting incorrect information about the projects benefits and are remarkably unaware of how out of date their information is–Wednesday is a big day. The Federal Transit Administration has found the connector out of compliance with federal civil rights regulations and is threatening to pull $70 million in regional stimulus money from the Bay Area if things are not set straight immediately.
For those who are new to the issue, here's a single example of the subterfuge that has guided this expensive ($492,000,000) project that BART staff expects to serve 600 new daily riders. {For quick background, the project will replace the AirBART bus, which current runs financially neutral with a system that will be slower than today's service and will require operating subsidies from BART's core-system to keep it financially whole.}
Last February, this issue sprang back from the dead when $340 million in stimulus (job creating money) became available. But here's the thing, MTC never looked at whether the project was a good jobs creation vehicle.
In response to an email sent by Oakland Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan's office, MTC acknowledged that:
MTC did not perform/release any reports related to projected jobs created from stimulus funding.
This fact, that MTC did not even consider the job creation potential of this project, was confirmed by KALW reporter Jill Replogle.
OAC job creation numbers take a miraculous jump into the thousands!
In 2001, during the OAC Environmental process, BART's EiR claimed the OAC would generate 689 jobs, 273 of which would be directly related to the project (construction, etc.)
On May 5, 2009, Kerry Hamill, BART Government Relations (PR), sent a letter to the Oakland City Council saying:
JOBS…The Oakland Airport Connector will create 200-300 local construction jobs over the next several years, and create 30 permanent jobs operating and maintaining the
On September 15, 2009, BART then submitted an application for a loan from the FTA using stimulus money stating that "The OAC would create approximately 689 direct and indirect jobs during the construction period." This would be in complete agreement with both thw 2001 EIR and BART's statements to their Board and the Oakland City Council (back in May).
Which was really strange, because on September 8, at the same time that the FTA application was being finalized for the Feds, BART Staffer Hamill (of the May 5th email telling the Oakland Council that there would be 200-300 jobs generated by the OAC), sent an email to supporters of the OAC providing four separate numbers for jobs creation ranging from 2500-15,000 and tell supporters "Use whatever # you prefer."
That's right, when it started becoming clear that the OAC would generate few new jobs, the only thing anyone cared about with this project. Public employees started to use inflated, generic jobs numbers instead of their own calculations and were actively encouraging their supporters to use "whatever #" numbers they preferred, as long as they weren't the actual calculations from BART's analysis of the project.
And strangely, BART's recent letters to the FTA and MTC, as well as the media, have quoted the higher, generic, non-OAC specific numbers ever since.
And there are similar stories relating to the OAC Fare, ridership projections, travel speeds, project costs, and system convenience, but they'll have to wait for another day.
On Wednesday, January 27th, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission will decide whether to gamble on a half-billion dollar glorified ski-lift to the airport by continuing to pursue funding for the project, and risk the loss of $70 million in desperately needed stimulus funds or they can act in the interest of Bay Area Commuters and low-income families and moving the funds to save jobs and transit service for hundreds of thousands of Bay Area residents.
Take Action Now!
Attend the Rally for Justice and Jobs on January 27 and tell MTC to stand up for commuters, low-income families and Bay Area jobs by putting $70 million to Bay Area Transit, not a risky, rinky-dink ski-lift to the airport.
Rally for Justice and Jobs Info:
Wednesday, January 27
MTC Headquarters
101 Eighth Street, Oakland
RSVP: email@example.com
If you can't attend:
Send a letter to MTC telling them not to risk $70 million in jobs creating stimulus funds on a risky OAC project that has been found out of compliance by the FTA. Tell commissioners to save jobs and transit now, by sending an email here (If it's possible, please write your own message, it makes a bigger impact. It can be as short as one or two sentences!)
More interested in this issue? I'll be on the KPFA morning show tomorrow at 8:30am talking about it. Check it out.

Buffalo Sabres
7:30 p.m., First Niagara Center, Buffalo, New York
Another pretty brutal loss last night to the Islanders put the Penguins pretty much out of the race for the top spot in the Eastern Conference but that doesn't mean that there isn't a ton yet to play for in the last five games of the season. The Penguins only have a two point edge on the Flyers as they only have five games to play and if it came down to a tie breaker the Flyers would win out based on more wins in regulation and overtime.
The Sabres are one of the hottest teams in the league right now and it all started with the 6-2 drubbing the Sabres put on the Penguins back in February. Since that time Buffalo has gone 14-2-3 and are tied for the eighth spot in the conference with the Washington Capitals. They are backed by Ryan Miller who has really turned around his game after playing some pretty bad hockey for much of the season. In Miller's last five contests he has only allowed six goals and posted a .962 save percentage. For a Penguins team that has really been shut down by the Islanders goals might be at a premium. In two games this year against the Penguins Miller has allowed seven goals and in 19 career games against the Penguins he has let up 53 goals (40 even strength) and has a pedestrian .881 save percentage.
No idea what the deal is going to be with the Penguins tonight. Brent Johnson should get the start in the net and they looked really sloppy last night. Lines were being changed up a good bit and the team looked to try way too hard to play defensive hockey and they never really got a good offensive flow going. Granted this has only been two games so I am not too concerned.
It will be interesting to watch how both teams come out in this game. The Sabres are playing for everything right now. While they have played unreal hockey they are still nowhere near close to getting into the playoffs as they are only in now because they have a game in hand on the Capitals with the same amount of points. The Penguins are already in the playoffs and while they need to keep winning to maintain home ice advantage they are more concerned with getting everything right for the playoff run. The Sabres are going to be the much more desperate team and the Penguins have looked out of sorts and even somewhat disinterested in the last couple of games against the Islanders.
The season series (Buffalo leads 2-1):

Covington Prevails for Dairy Processor in Vermont Class Action
August 31, 2010
WASHINGTON, DC, August 31, 2010 — The U.S. District Court for the District of Vermont has ruled in favor of HP Hood, the second largest dairy processor in the Northeast, in a class action antitrust lawsuit alleging a restraint of trade in the dairy industry. In a 41-page decision issued August 30, federal district judge Christina Reiss granted HP Hood's motion to dismiss all claims, agreeing that the allegations failed to make out an antitrust violation by the company. The court denied the other defendants' motions to dismiss.
Covington & Burling LLP represented HP Hood in the litigation. The Covington litigation team was led by partners Steve Rosenbaum and James Dean with associate Jeff Lerner. All are based in the firm's Washington office.

From being the site of one of London's first rooftop restaurants (designed in part by the daughter of Antony Gormley) to hosting a modern art gallery, Peckham Rye's humble multi-storey car park has seen its fair share of glamour - for a car park, that is.
And this summer, visitors can pay £5 to see the capital's Multi Story Orchestra perform classical music in the concrete construction, perched above Peckham Plex just off the high street.
Among the concrete pillars guests will be able to hear works from minimalist Andriessen De Staat and a Shostakovich cello concerto with celebrated cellist Matthew Barley.
After the success of one-off concerts in the past two years, including the original concert that started everything - Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring (shown in the video above) - five concerts have been organised by Kate Whitley and Christopher Stark, in collaboration with Bold Tendencies, the gallery group responsible for the exhibitions at the car park and the ever-successful Franks rooftop cafe on the top floor.
The aim is to bring classical music out of its shackles and to a new audience. With the London Symphony Orchestra's outdoor concerts in Trafalgar Square becoming increasingly popular, the series is one of a few outdoor classical concerts sating the appetite for classical music beyond the confines of traditional venues.

"Mo-Ped" update
Hey everyone,
I have been working on getting the motor running, but I ran into a little problem. One of the Piston rings broken, and because of that the motor doesn't have enough pressure inside the engine to constantly idle or run. I am currently waiting for the part to come in, but the part is being ordered from China and it should be at my door step around Thanksgiving. I'm hoping that it comes sooner so I can get it running sooner. The bicycle that I am installing the motor onto is a Genisis Onyx 29er Black Cruiser bike that I bought from Walmart for a little over $165.00. The motor is meant for 26" wheels, but I think that it should work for the 29" rims. It just means that I will be going a few miles an hour slower then on a 26" rimed bike.
This is what my "mo-ped" I call it, will end up looking like, I will post pictures of it when I get it all put together and running. Until then I will be waiting for the part, but I will be trying to add some informational posts for Winter biking, and some of the things you'll need to do so if you choose to or are brave enough. I have had people come up to me and tell me that I'm crazy and others that give kudos to me for doing it. This will be my fifth winter that I will be enduring on a bicycle.

Half bicycle, half motorcycle??
Lately I have been working on a project. I have been working assembling a motor onto a bicycle. You can buy motor kits online for anywhere between $80.00 to $150.00, depending on where you buy it from and if it's new or used. I bought mine off of Ebay for $86.80. It's an 80cc motor kit, they come with all the parts needed to turn your bicycle into a DIY motorcycle. I have my motor on a old Denault three speed bicycle and it wasn't a good turn out. It worked for about three days, and the spokes In the rear wheel started popping left and right, and also the frame width between chain stays wasn't wide enough. The chain started ratting away at the frame and made the entire bike unsafe to ride... I set the bike aside for now, but I am going to be buying a new bicycle tomorrow thatI know can handle the stress of having a motor attached to it. I will also be having pictures and descriptions to go along with everything.
Keep on biking...

Proper Derailleur Maintenance
Few of us really appreciate how hardworking and integral the rear derailleur is until it stops functioning perfectly. Then you're stuck with, at best, an imprecise and clattery ride. So the next time you climb with little—well, a little less—effort, give a nod to this marvel of engineering. Here's how it works—plus tips to keep it running like new.
1. The upper area on the derailleur is the b-knuckle.
2. On Shimano and SRAM derailleurs, the b-tension adjuster fine-tunes the height of the guide pulley. On Campagnolo derailleurs, the adjustment is done via a screw near the p-knuckle.
3. To adjust cable tension, use the barrel adjuster.
4. The guide pulley keeps the chain in line as it moves from cog to cog during shifts.
5. The idler pulley helps hold tension on the chain regardless of gear choice.
6. The mounting bolt connects the derailleur to the frame.
7. The parallelogram linkage lets the chain move left and right and up and down the cassette while remaining parallel to the cogs.
8. High and low limit stops are usually found near the b-knuckle but sometimes on the front of the parallelogram. The low limit (often marked L) prevents shifts into the spokes; the high limit (marked H) prevents the chain from dropping off the smallest cog.
9. The p-knuckle holds both the guide pulley and a spring that keeps tension on the cage to hold the chain taut. Shimano's XTR Shadow Plus (for mountain bikes) has a switch that increases spring tension and activates a friction stabilizer to keep the chain from bouncing in rough terrain.
10. The cable bolt pinches the shift cable in place. On most derailleurs, when the shift lever pulls on the cable, the derailleur moves up the cassette to a lower gear. The exception: Shimano's low-normal derailleurs, on which it does the opposite.
11. The cage keeps the chain in line between the pulleys.
Clean and Adjust
For the best performance, position the guide pulley (4) roughly 6 to 7mm away from the cogs. If your chain skips when you shift to a lower gear, give the barrel adjuster (3) a half-turn counterclockwise (Tip: Think L for lower and for left turn). A higher gear? Try a halfturn clockwise. After cleaning, add a few drops of lube to the pivot points (there are eight) of the parallelogram linkage (7), cycle through a few shifts, then wipe off any excess lube. When you clean your chain, clear the muck from the inner and outer surfaces of both pulleys (4 & 5)—it collects at the base of their teeth.

New years day bike ride
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone, welp here in Bemidji, MN we had our new years day bike ride. Not as many people came out this year as last year, i think the temp scared people away. It was -11 degrees out. I was one of them that rode, i lead the ride most of the way. We started at the Cabin Coffeehouse Café
The ride was 7 miles long, i only went for 5 because my toes got really cold... Two of the riders; Natalie and Shaun went all the way around Lake Bemidji, ( thats 17.6 miles long). We ended at the Cabin Café with hot chocolate/coffee and chocolate chip cookies, yum! We also had on display, the new Nice Ride bicycle that will be introduced to Bemidji in Early to mid April, 2014.
Although it will be neon orange and have a basket on the front.
Well i hope you all have a good new year, and lets bike our way into 2014...
Keep on Biking in the cold...

Christmas crafts
I'm going to attempt to make all of my Christmas presents by hand! Yes, I'm aware that I am a little crazy attempting this with a 2 month old and a 2 year old but with our plans for a bigger family this might be the best chance I have.
You may or may not know that I have become 'hooked' on crocheting since making a blanket for Henry so I think I'm going to do my best to pretty much crochet my way through Christmas (does anyone have a pattern for a drum kit?).

Snack time!
I have already tried to add more choice to the getting dressed routine so I thought it was about time to give some more alternatives about what he eats.
We just went through a phase of Freddy not eating very much at all (apart from milk) but we seem to be getting back into solid food again now (thank goodness), and what better way to celebrate his new found sense of hunger than with a snack table:
On the snack table there is a bowl containing rice cakes and knäckebröd (Swedish crisp bread), a fruit bowl with oranges and bananas, two jars of different nuts (cashews and hazelnuts) and on the tray is a small jug of water and a glass.
I then add a different 'activity' to the table such as slicing bananas, peeling carrots or scooping seeds depending on what Freddy wants to do. For example, today he brought out the slicer from his cupboard and asked to slice a banana.
The water pouring is always fun for him and he will often pour from the jug to the glass then tip the water back into the jug and start again.
When they feel like they have some power and control over what they do it can really calm them down (as we are discovering at the moment). It's a step in growing up. Everything isn't planned for them and making good choices is a skill that children will use for the rest of their lives.
The key to giving children choices is to first decide what choices you will allow them to make, that way any choice that they make is suitable.
Do you have any tips for how to add more choice to your toddler's life?
This post is linked to the wonderful Living Montessori Now site.
Walking in the forest
I think that Freddy was just weeks old when he first ventured into the countryside and since then it has become clear that he could spend all day outside if it were possible.
By the time he was 10 months old he could already follow his Papa walking across a field.
The other wonderful thing about this walk is that almost every day Papa has taken a photograph of Freddy whilst they have been out. These pictures now tell a beautiful story of a little boy growing up.
He has seen the seasons change....
and he has walked through streams.
He has seen the tops of the trees....
and felt the soil with his hands.
I had no idea that I would feel so privileged to be a parent.

What shall I wear today?
In his room there is a tall chest of drawers with his and his brother's clothes in. I used to just take out whatever I wanted him to wear but I decided to give him the bottom two drawers to select his own clothes each day and to get his pyjamas for bedtime.
I wanted to make some labels for the drawers so that Freddy knew where to look and hence reduce any possible frustration of not being able to find his socks for example (these things matter to toddlers). So using some coloured pens I drew examples of clothing items to use as labels.
By the way, this was the first time I had ever used Sharpie pens and boy do they smell strong!
I then cut out the shapes and used short lengths of ribbon from my ribbon stash to hang them from the drawer knobs.
And here are the finished labels in place.
I have tried to keep the drawers uncluttered with a a few of each clothing type to choose from. The drawer above these two contain the 'overspill' of items that I can use to replenish his drawers depending on the weather or clean washing turnaround time (which isn't fast).
The clothes that I put in the drawers are chosen such that anything he chooses to wear will be appropriate.
This little offering of Independence goes down really well with toddlers just beginning to learn that they can (and want to) make choices and yet it's so easy to do.

Boys will be boys
Freddy didn't want to get out of the chair (it was never like that at dinner time) and he thoroughly enjoyed his outdoor fun with his uncles.
This is the kind of daredevil play that fathers naturally give their children, they teach them to take risks, be independent and create with their hands.

Octahedron mobile tutorial
--> The Octahedron mobile is the second mobile in the Visual Mobile Series and it is probably the easiest to make yourself (the first is the Munari Mobile). Most of my crafting goodness takes place after lights out so I'm sorry that the pictures are a little dark :)
But first a reminder of why these mobiles are offered to babies in order and what the benefits are:
"For the first few months, a mobile over the child-bed helps to develop the baby's abilities to explore the world visually. The baby gradually develops focus on a moving object, tracking of an object, and perception of colour and depth. The mobile is changed every two weeks or so to accommodate the infant's habituation to that particular mobile and to match her progressive visual development. Hence, the first mobile portrays flat, black and white geometric shapes and reflected light from a glass sphere. Subsequent ones are introduced in ordered sequence: three octahedrons of coloured metallic paper, ideally each in a primary colour; five Styrofoam balls covered with embroidery thread in gradations of the same colour and hung in ascending order from darkest to lightest; stylized paper figurines of light metallic coloured paper that move with the slightest current of air; and finally, stylized wooden figures painted in pastel colours" (Montessori From the Start)
An octahedron (plural: octahedra) is a polyhedron with eight faces. A regular octahedron is a Platonic solid composed of eight equilateral triangles, four of which meet at each vertex.
To make the Octahedron mobile all you need is 3 sheets of metallic or holographic card (red, gold and blue), some invisible thread and a wooden dowel with a 6mm diameter (this dimension is not essential).
Draw an unfolded octahedron onto the back of each piece of card with a pencil. Thissite has a template that you can print onto paper, cut out and draw around onto the card.
The next step is to cut out the octahedron shape and score along the fold lines. It is important to score these sides well to get a crisp finish to the shape so I used a scoring adaptor on my paper cutter. An alternative is to use a ruler and the back of a craft knife.
Place double sided tape onto the tabs and cut to size. This tape goes on the metallic side of the card (I did it wrong first time).
Then just take the backing off the double sided tape and fold up the shapes as shown above. Take care to line up all the edges well to avoid gaps.
Just before you close the last side of the octahedron insert the end of a length of nylon thread with a knot tied in the end. This knot then sits inside to stop the thread pulling out.
Assemble the mobile and add a length of thread to hang it. Do this in whatever way works best for you. If you don't have a wooden dowel how about hanging the octahedron from a wire coat hanger?
If you want to know which mobiles to offer at what age take a look at this post and if you want ideas for how to hang them look here.
And last but not least here is Henry (6 weeks) enjoying his mobile. I hung his quite low down close to him (but not in reach) and he studied it very intensely and giggled with delight if it moved slightly with a breeze.
Next up is the Gobbi Mobile!. g.net/

Introduction to bead stringing
on our shelves in a little more detail.
I recently tried to introduce Freddy (23 months) to stringing beads using a Melissa and Doug First Bead Kit. I liked the set because the beds are big and chunky but Freddy found the poking of the lace through the hole too difficult (which was manifested as throwing the beads everywhere).
With eczema on his hands making them sore and sometimes swollen Freddy has always been more of a 'gross motor' rather than 'fine motor skills kinda boy' but I thought I would try again but this time with an activity to string small wooden beads onto a pipe cleaner.
Using a pipe cleaner to string the beads is much easier for little toddler hands so it makes a great introduction to the concept of bead stringing.
But what I like most is that the beads don't slide off and can be put on from either end successfully. This essentially means that just the act of putting the pipe cleaner through the bead hole is isolated. I further ensured isolation of this skill by ensuring that the beads were the same colour (natural wood).
Putting the beads back in the wooden pot and placing the lid on top were also enjoyable for him.
Here is Freddy working hard. He often asks me to do things instead of him such as stacking a block but he wasn't letting me anywhere near these beads.
I realised that I have not been using mats to define Freddy's workspace on the floor so I'll begin to introduce them right away :)

On our shelves
Downstairs is our family living area and there Freddy (23 months) has what one might call 'normal' toys which he plays with however and whenever he wants. Then we have a loft style room in the roof of our house that we have made into a sort of classroom. I never really know what to call it but for now I call it a classroom.
I have already shown you some of the area that we use in this post but here I thought I would concentrate on the shelving.
I have a load of white IKEA furniture that I use to display a number of activities that I think will be interesting to Freddy depending on what he likes as well as some new concepts to challenge him.
The only 'rules' that I have up here are that only one thing can be played with at a time and that item must be cleared away before the next is taken off the shelf. Art materials (to the right of the picture) are always available (and used often).
I change the trays every week if they are not being used and keep the favourites on the shelves for longer. The basket in the top right hand corner contains our much loved coloured eggs and the cotton-reel-in-pencil-pot activity is on the bottom.
Most of the items are related to shapes and colours which Freddy is really getting to grips with. He has also started counting so I added one of the number games from my recent Montessori materials purchase.
New challenging additions are a jigsaw puzzle on the bottom shelf and an introduction to stringing beads/lacing on the right hand side in the middle. These two are tricky for Freddy at the moment but he loves the jigsaw because it was a gift from Farmor and Farfar.
I have noticed quite a dramatic change in Freddy in the last few months with regards to these activities. When he was 21 months old all he wanted to do was paint and use the other materials to kick around or throw downstairs (i.e. over the balcony rail). Every now and then he would be interested in one of my activities but most of the time he was content with his cars and gross motor development outside.
Now though he understands that these things are little 'activities' for him to do and he is genuinely interested in finding out what each one can be used for. Don't get me wrong though, if we come up here when he is tired he still wants to use everything as a football but he seems to have developed an incredible hunger to learn everything all of a sudden and I absolutely love being part of it.

Sewing and Montessori: when two passions meet
Whist picking up my newly serviced sewing machine (which I had broken whilst making a puzzle ball) Freddy (23 months) noticed the colourful display of cotton reels. As he ran his fingers over the reels and named the colours I felt so proud of him.
The experience got me thinking about how to set up an activity related to this wonderful experience and this is what I came up with:
The basket in the middle contains reels of coloured embroidery thread and the coloured 'pots' are actually coloured pencil holders which were part of my cheap Montessori materials order. [I feel like I should point out that although many of the materials that I bought were of 'average' quality these pencil pots are beautiful and well made.] The activity involves placing the correct colour cotton reel in the pencil pot.
I think that because we have been working on colours for a while now Freddy knew exactly what to do and got straight to work. This was the first time that I have seen him fully engaged with a task from start to finish and it was brilliant to witness. He got some of the colours wrong and then corrected himself and I realised how hard it is to stay quiet and not jump in to 'help'.
Afterwards Freddy decided to make a tower with the pencil holders before putting everything away again.
Some hard core Montessori enthusiasts would have stopped him from using the materials for anything other than the original task but my rule is that if they are used for a real 'purpose' i.e. not being used to bang his brother's head then I see it as just another learning opportunity.
Can I just add that I don't usually force my child to wear pyjamas that are way to big for him (notice the feet) but it is a great way to get the floor dusted :)

While Zaha Hadid found inspiration to speak out against misogyny, recent discourse on industry gender disparities sparked by a recent survey in the Architect's Journal somehow prompted one misguided Telegraph writer to come up with the following: "For safer, prettier cities pick a woman to build them." (WTF?!)
A world by female architects, according to one Telegraph writer
Many a female writer has been quick to attack such idiotic word choice, but to be fair, the writer was informed in part by AJ editor Christine Murray's comments that we found problematic in the first place: "Women have a unique perspective on the world," she told the Telegraph, musing on the possibility that more women in architecture would result in "better lit streets, improved baby buggy access and 'child friendly' areas and changes in the way schools and nurseries were designed." There was also talk of "high streets… suffering from differing perspectives because of the limited 'gene pool' of senior male architects." (In England, a high street is where people shop at places like H&M and Topshop, FYI.)
As Murray, a wife and mother, must know, the female experience is a unique one. But pointing to shopping strips and playgrounds as places that could use the maddening cliché of a woman's touch reduces women architects to various female archetypes — mom, victim, shopper, makeover enthusiast. This reduction is further exacerbated when a male journalist chooses to label these potential contributions as "pretty," the most pandering, shallow adjective no one has ever used when talking about the aesthetically indulgent designs of male architects such as Frank Gehry.
Let's rein in the point: As Hadid stated in her interview with the Guardian's Observer, articulating these disparities should push societal reforms that give women more equal footing in the field. No one should suggest that serious women architects enter the profession with dreams of total-city-makeovers à la "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." By the way, Betty Friedan's landmark "The Femine Mystique" turns 50 this year. For some, it should have been required reading. [h/t to ArchDaily]

"Clean Eating" is the word on every fit woman's lips at the moment, and with good reason! Clean eating stems from the idea of eliminating or reducing all chemicals from the body. This means little to no processed/packaged foods and getting back-to-basics in our approach. It's all about nourishing that beautiful body of yours, and fuelling it with nutritious, wholesome foods. That is what clean eating is all about. For those Sporty Sisters looking to eat a little cleaner, we have included some tip top tips to help you on your journey and discover the Clean Eating 101 & Why Clean Eating is good for you…
- FRUIT & VEGETABLES: If it falls from a tree, then it's safe to say it's a good option. The idea is to try and eat foods that have not been altered by humans in any way. Try and buy local from the nearest farmer's market, this way you are guaranteed quality produce, along with supporting your local farmers! LEAN MEATS – Meat is not our enemy. Lean meats are a fantastic source of protein, which creates lean muscle and keeps you feeling fuller for longer – BONUS! When buying meat, stick to lean, quality meats from your local butcher.
- GRAINS: Think 'whole' grains. Things like brown rice, quinoa, rye breads and oats are all good options. Steer clear of 'white' breads, pasta and rice – brown is best!
- FEWER PACKAGED FOODS: Just because it claims to be healthy, doesn't mean it's a good choice. Many packaged foods are a clever marketing ploy, attempting to lure shoppers into buying their product. You will find that there are many hidden nasties in foods found in the supermarket that can negatively impact your health.
- H20 IS THE WAY TO GO: Keep yourself hydrated all day long, and the best way to do that is good old fashioned water! Most drinks found in the supermarket are full of sugar, even some orange juice! The best option is to juice your own at home, so much better for you!
- CLEAR THE KITCHEN: Ok, it's time to go through your pantry and fridge and cull all the bad stuff. Keep a pile to donate and another pile to toss. When you rid your home of unhealthy foods, it will make this journey all the more easier. Always ensure you read up on the labels too. Any ingredients listed that you can't pronounce, bin it!
- STOCK UP ON PRODUCE: Replace all the unhealthy items you tossed for nourishing & super clean foods. Remember to stock up on a ton of fresh fruit & vegetables, whole grains and lean cuts of chicken breast or fish for your fridge. Buy up some healthy snacks to munch on throughout the day too. Raw nuts are a great option to keep stocked in your pantry or in your handbag.
- PLAN, PLAN, PLAN: Eating clean is much easier when you are prepared. Consider pre-planning your meals for the week. We like to do this on a Sunday to be extra organised, and it makes life so much easier to limit your cooking time during the week. Get some cooking inspiration here.
- MAKE A LIST: When heading out to do your shopping, be prepared & write up a big list. This will include all your clean eating foods, and your pre-planned meal ingredients. Also, don't disregard frozen vegies or fruit. They are a great money saver and the frozen fruit are ideal for making smoothies! By sticking to your list, it will help keep you focused and less likely to stock your trolley with unnecessary packets of chips and sweets.
- BABY STEPS: Clean eating for some may be a slight tweak in their everyday eating routine, or for other's a total lifestyle overhaul. Whatever category you fall under, just remember that Rome wasn't built in a day. Changing habits is hard to break. Make tweaks here and there, and if you slip up – don't worry. Just make your next meal is super clean!
- TREAT YOURSELF Eating clean doesn't mean you have to rid yourself of all guilty pleasures. Far from it, because some clean treats are just as good (if not better) than your regular sugar laden double choc fudge brownie. Speaking of chocolate, try our dark chocolate bark recipe to satisfy your cravings.

Hi everybody,
I have a background size 800x600. I also used tiledbackground to create this background. The problem is that when I run the games, it only displays a part of the background. How can I display the full bg image when running it?
Thanks in advance.
PS: I am new to Construct 2 so forgive me if it is a silly question as I have searched around the forum but cannot find the answer or may be I do not know that that problem is called.

The Sports Xchange
NBA Team Report - Dallas Mavericks - GETTING INSIDE
The summer of 2012 promises to be like no other offseason the Dallas Mavericks have experienced during the 12-year ownership of Mark Cuban.
The Sports Xchange
NBA Team Report - Dallas Mavericks - GETTING INSIDE
The summer of 2012 promises to be like no other offseason the Dallas Mavericks have experienced during the 12-year ownership of Mark Cuban.
For the first time in Cuban's tenure, the chronic luxury-tax spender has cap space to chase high-dollar free agents. Also for the first time in his tenure, Cuban is tasked with building a team basically from scratch after the defending champions, the oldest team in the league, was bounced out of the playoffs in a first-round sweep by the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Dirk Nowitzki is the lone Mavs player guaranteed of returning. Jason Kidd and Jason Terry are free agents and there's a good chance that Terry's eight-year run in Dallas, which includes two trips to the NBA Finals, could be over. Lamar Odom won't be back. Delonte West and Ian Mahinmi are free agents. Center Brendan Haywood could be amnestied.
Which players return and for how much will all be decided on whether the Mavs land prized free-agent-to-be Deron Williams, a Dallas-area native and perennial All-Star point guard.
Mavs management knows this offseason is all about putting younger, more athletic players around Nowitzki.
"We've got our work cut out for us," Mavs president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said. "Obviously, we've got some decisions to make with guys in the locker room and free agency and such. Clearly to have more than one or two guys that can create opportunities and shots and that type of thing, that's important."
Williams is Plan A. Plan B could include trying to reunite Nowitzki and Steve Nash. Houston Rockets point guard Goran Dragic is another possibility as a free agent. But the Mavs are also going to need size inside to complement Nowitzki on the front line.
"There's a lot of stuff this organization has to decide on the next couple of months," Nowitzki said. "We'd obviously love to get better. I think that's obvious. We went for cap space for the first time in my career, so we'll see what we can do with that the next year or next two years. But we definitely want to improve the franchise."
SEASON HIGHLIGHT: Believe it or not, it came on Jan. 2 in just the fifth game of the season. Just a few nights earlier, the Mavs had lost a heartbreaker at Oklahoma City on a Kevin Durant three-pointer at the buzzer. This time, the Thunder made their first appearance in Dallas since losing in five games to the Mavs in the 2011 Western Conference finals. Dirk Nowitzki scored 26 on 10-of-16 shooting, Jason Kidd dished out nine assists and the re-tooled bench was hot. Dallas rolled to a 100-87 victory to move to just 2-4 on the season, yet it seemed the veteran-savvy Mavs still had a psychological edge over a much younger and far more athletic Thunder team trying to rise to the top of the West.
TURNING POINT: A case could be made that "Linsanity" doomed the Mavs' season. On Feb. 17, Dallas went into Philadelphia and beat the 76ers, 82-75, to move to a season-best 20-11. They then marched into Madison Square Garden at the height of "Linsanity." Jeremy Lin lit up the Mavs for 28 points and 14 assists in a 104-97 Knicks win. After that game, injuries and a brutal schedule sunk Dallas to a 16-18 record the rest of the way, and 16-22 including the four-game sweep in the first round by the Thunder.
NBA Team Report - Dallas Mavericks - NOTES, QUOTES
--Mavs sixth man Jason Terry, acquired in trade back in 2004 to take over for the departed Steve Nash, knows his days in Dallas are likely over, and he's not thrilled about it. Terry is the longest-tenured Mavs player outside of Dirk Nowitzki and has endured incredible lows with the franchise as well as the ultimate high of the 2011 championship. He wants to stay, but it's doubtful that Dallas will be able to offer the type of deals he is likely to attract in his first go-round as an unrestricted free agent. Terry won the league's Sixth Man of the Year award in 2007 and was a hero of the Finals series against the Miami Heat, outplaying LeBron James and scoring 27 points in the Game 6 clincher. His departure would truly end an era in Dallas.
"This is where the Jet was made," said Terry, referring to his nickname. "The whole mantra of the Jet's on the runway, and the community and everything, they made me who I am. So that's just a hard pill to swallow if I have to leave that behind. But it's a reality."

Story highlights
- The alleged abuse was reported as early as 2010
- Both priests have not been permitted to perform their duties since then
- The archdiocese has been under fire for a sweeping sex scandal
- At least 26 priests have been put on administrative leave
The troubled Archdiocese of Philadelphia said Monday that it has ousted two priests due to allegations of sexual abuse of minors.
The allegation against Monsignor George Mazzotta, 73, first came to light in May 2010 and was reported to law enforcement. The archdiocese called it a "substantiated allegation," but provided no details.
Since that time, Mazzotta "has not been permitted to exercise his public ministry, wear clerical garb or present himself publicly as a priest," the archdiocese said in a statement.
Monsignor Hugh Campbell, 77, reported himself for sex abuse in December and was placed on administrative leave. Law enforcement authorities were also notified of the reported abuse.
Both men have been found "not suitable for ministry," the archdiocese said.
The archdiocese has been under fire since 2011 for what experts have called one of the most sweeping sex scandals in America. At least 26 priests have been put on administrative leave in connection with the scandal.
The action against Mazzotta and Campbell, who retired in 2007, is not connected to those cases.
A grand jury last year charged four Philadelphia priests and a parochial school teacher with raping and assaulting boys in their care. Two church officials are currently on trial in the case -- the Rev. James Brennan, who is accused of the attempted rape of a 14-year-old, and Monsignor William Lynn, who is accused of covering it up. They have pleaded not guilty.
Defrocked priest Edward Avery was due to also go on trial with Brennan and Lynn, but pleaded guilty in March to involuntary sexual deviate sexual intercourse after admitting to sexually assaulting a 10-year-old altar boy during the 1998-1999 school year at St. Jerome Parish.
Charles Engelhardt and Bernard Shero, a teacher at the school, are charged with assaulting the same boy in 2000. They have pleaded not guilty and are due to go on trial in September.
The trial represents the first time that U.S. prosecutors have charged not just the priests who allegedly committed the abuses, but an official who stands accused of failing to stop the assaults. Lynn had been responsible from 1992 until 2004 for investigating reports that priests had sexually abused children.
The grand jury alleged that Lynn knowingly allowed dangerous priests to continue in the ministry in roles in which they had access to children.

In the wake of Alex Rodriguez' press conference, you'd like to fast-forward straight to the October postseason, with A-Rod and the Yankees involved, and here he comes in the eighth inning with two guys on and the Yanks down by two. You wonder if his steroid soul-cleansing — dubious to some but entirely real for him — will make any difference.
For a man with all the money, fame, attention and female company he could ever want, he has been strangely inadequate in such moments, driving in exactly one run over his last 58 postseason at-bats. People always noticed a phoniness about him, a complete inability to be "one of the boys" or a "man's man," and such futility only bolstered the skeptics' case.
Imagine the boost to his reputation if he were to dominate a postseason, repeatedly coming through in the manner of Reggie Jackson or Roberto Clemente. He could say a cheery "screw you" to every last critic and stroll into the winter in style.
Ah, but I'm just guessing. We all are, really. Who the hell knows what goes on inside Rodriguez, to what extent he's lying, or how much of his emotion is genuine? It's all a massive puzzle, and it seems nobody in baseball is close enough to A-Rod to really care.
It seems that the more you're around A-Rod, the more you'd prefer to be away from him. He's the king of double-talk, the curious contradiction, or as one wag described it yesterday, "the incremental confession." Between his Peter Gammons interview and his group session yesterday, he added a mysterious cousin, a couple of new substances, and the notion of complete ignorance — what the substance was, whether it was working, you name it — despite injecting it twice a month for three years. I think the swirl of confusion actually helps A-Rod, because at some point — perhaps right now — people will be just plain sick of him, even the investigative reporters trying to sort through his inconsistencies.
I would submit this, though: Among his Yankee teammates, there has to be a sense that he's a little more real than before. Remember, this is landmark stuff he's pulling. However you feel about his recent interviews, he's still the first elite player to discuss the use of performance-enhancing drugs, in detail, while still in his prime and looking to take down records.
A few other thoughts on the matter:
1. Enough with the analysis of whatever substances may have done for A-Rod at any time. I can see why he's vague on the subject, because it's a simple fact: When he broke in with Seattle, he was one of the greatest natural talents the game had ever seen. He was great when he was on the juice in Texas (2001-03), he was great with the Yankees thereafter, and he's still great. That's the bottom line. He doesn't have to rationalize any performance to anyone.
2. All these "probing questions" are insignifcant when set against the bigger picture. We're never going to know who did what, how often anyone got injected, any of that stuff unless it was secretly videotaped. The big issue, to me, isn't that A-Rod or Barry Bonds or Sammy Sosa joined the thousands of athletes taking steroids in the 80s and 90s. It's that the stuff was so plentiful, and so easy to get, in the Dominican Republic, Mexico and other distant locales. And what do we know about any of that? Not one damn thing. Instead, we're going to hear the words "former personal shopper" about 16 times a day during the Bonds trial. I hope to be on Mars, or at least Newfoundland, when that preposterous event takes place.
3. I don't know about you, but I hadn't outgrown my youth or my stupidity when I reached my mid-20s. And a whole lot of people inside baseball clubhouses fit that description perfectly. A-Rod does need to lose that angle of his explanation, though. People are very tired of it.
4. At this stage, A-Rod needs to do three things: (a) Stay clean. And if he hasn't been clean, then he has to start right now. No 'roids, no HGH, no supplements that could come under any kind of questioning. If he relies strictly on his natural ability all season, it will do wonders for his conscience during times of scrutiny. (b) Hit a few bombs into the bleachers of the new Yankee Stadium, nice and early. (c) Don't pull a Mark McGwire. Don't promise to preach the evils of performance-drugs and then pathetically go into hiding. Go talk to some kids. Address the various levels of youth baseball. Tell everyone that one's health is the most important thing of all. Because once the baseball writers come to their senses and vote the game's greatest performers into the Hall of Fame, we'll start hearing about ex-ballplayers dying much too early. It's a constant storyline in pro wrestling and the NFL, among other sports. Baseball will not be exempt.
3-DOTTING: The NBA's Western Conference playoff picture may have changed dramatically in a single day. Not that it affects the elite teams, but forget about Houston now that Tracy McGrady needs season-ending knee surgery. The Rockets weren't going anywhere in the first place, but they can't afford to miss McGrady's scoring (typical McGrady, one of the all-time sour characters: coach Rick Adelman learned of his impending surgery through the media, and was incensed about it). Phoenix, tagged here recently as the 9th-best team in the West, could be significantly transformed under new coach Alvin Gentry, who promised an immediate return to the run-and-gun style that worked so well under Mike D'Antoni. Right out of the gate, the Suns scored 140 points against the Clippers and got big nights from Amare Stoudemire and Leandro Barbosa. Don't put anything past Robert Sarver, the Suns' erratic and borderline-incompetent owner; he still might trade Stoudemire to save some cash. But a trade doesn't make sense now, not with such renewed energy in that locker room . . . It was only a matter of time before the Clippers realized what a stiff they got in Zach Randolph. He can score in the post, but he's not worth the trouble, as he showed once again last night by punching Suns reserve Louis Amundson and getting himself (a) kicked out of the game and (b) suspended for two more. Coach Mike Dunleavy said it was a "nightmare" to lose Randolph against a team with Phoenix' size. No, it's a nightmare having him in the first place, and things will only get worse.
Got a ton of e-mails from people curious about the HD angle to this season's Bay Area baseball telecasts. I'll confess, I know almost nothing about HD. I've seen a few HD telecasts here and there, but I have no interest in getting it at home. I don't ever want to reach the point where I can't enjoy a sporting event if it isn't in HD. This is why I left out Comcast's HD plans in yesterday's Sporting Green mini-column. But I'll make amends in Saturday's 3-Dot Lounge, for people who are actually living in the 21st century . . . Interesting reports around the game regarding leadoff men. Cubs manager Lou Piniella may remove Alfonso Soriano from that spot, which seems plausible, because Soriano is a free-swinging hitter who strikes out a lot and is better suited to, say, No. 5 in the order. Arizona's new leadoff man (at least for now) is Felipe Lopez, and that's great news for everyone in the N.L. West, because Lopez (.234 in 100 games with Washington last year) definitely won't cut it. And Mets manager Jerry Manuel says he may take Jose Reyes out of the leadoff spot and move him to second or third in the order. This makes no sense. Reyes may be flighty, but he's easily one of the most electrifying performers in the game, a born leadoff man. You can't have him giving up at-bats, as a No. 2 hitter often does, and the Mets have several more power-conscious hitters to fill the No. 3 spot . . . The Dodgers had occupied the storied Dodgertown, in Vero Beach., Fla., for 60 years until they moved to Glendale, Ariz. this year. Reports reveal that the place has the feel of a ghost town, save the presence of longtime groundskeeper Steve Carlsward, a beacon of optimism. Carlsward, who held that job for 27 years, continues to maintain the field with hopes that another major-league team will eventually move in. "I want everything to look perfect for when we get that call," he says. "This is sacred ground."

Rep. Don Young has given a strong endorsement to one of Southeast Alaska's top priorities for economic development, an energy grid connecting new hydroelectric power plants throughout the region.
"There ought to be a grid put together," Young said. "You can't develop even a cottage industry unless you have cheap power."
Young, who has represented Alaska in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1973, said energy was the state's number one problem, but not enough was being done about it.
"What the governor and the Legislature should do, instead of just talking," is develop rural Alaska's energy resources, he said. "We've talked about it long enough."
Young spoke this week to the Native Issues Forum at the Alaska Native Brotherhood Hall in Juneau, and with one of Juneau's Rotary clubs.
While some Southeast communities have relatively inexpensive hydroelectric power, inadequate transmission lines mean many rural communities remain on diesel power. And inability to get power to consumers means some likely hydro sites can't be developed economically. It's unlikely the communities would be able to use all the power produced, or be able to sell excess energy.
Young suggested the Alaska Permanent Fund invest in power projects, instead of investments elsewhere.
"Instead of investing our money in real estate in Virginia, bring that money back here and invest it in power," he said.
The real estate he was referring to is the Permanent Fund's huge Tyson's Corner Mall in Northern Virginia.
The often confrontational Congressman sounded conciliatory in Juneau. His message: Everyone needs to work to bring more power to Alaska.
"Lets all work together, let's hold hands, let's achieve the goal of producing energy for everyone in Alaska," he said.

These days, you can make just about anything with 3D printing. The weed garden of your dreams? Sure thing. Anti-gravity whiskey glass? Of course. A vibrator shaped like your head? No doubt.
With all that, it comes as no surprise that Nike Chief Operating Officer Eric Sprunk thinks it won't be long before sneakerheads are 3D printing kicks at home. Speaking at the GeekWire Summit, Sprunk expressed his view that the days of a machine spitting out your kicks from the comfort of your couch are drawing near.
"Do I envision a future where we might still own the file from an IP perspective — you can't just have anyone making a Nike product — and have it manufactured in your own home or we do it for you at our store?" Sprunk said. "Yeah, that's not that far away."
So you'll be able to get 3D-printed Nikes, but don't for one second think that the Swoosh won't be getting its cut.
Nike is no stranger to the 3D printing process, having used it for both prototypes and production models, including football cleats.
You can see Sprunk's entire talk below.

SO we decided to merge our works and have a library that allows to encode/decode structured binary data in one call (my work) and that allows to access individual fields as well (lneto@'s work). Now we need a name that covers both uses cases. It could be "memory" because it deals with memory, or just "data", which I favour. Opinions on the name?

Tottenham Goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes, who will become a free agent in summer has decided to sign a one year deal with Championship side Watford.
Tottenham Hotspur goal keeper Heurlho Gomes has signed a one-year deal with Championship outfit Watford. The Brazilian custodian was set to depart White Hart Lane after spending 6 years at the club. The ambitious Championship side are pursuing promotion and the addition of an experienced campaigner on a free transfer will boost their hopes ahead of next season.
Tottenham Hotspur had announced the departure of Brazilian goal keeper Heurelho Gomes on his contract expiry last week. Last season Gomes was the third choice keeper behind Hugo Lloris and Brad Friedel and had decided to leave on a free transfer this summer.
Heurelho Gomes came to England with huge fan following in 2008. He was a pivotal figure during their Champions League campaign and also played a key role in their top-4 finish the season before. The lack of playing time at White Hart Lane had forced him into a brief loan spell at 1899 TSG Hoffenheim in 2012-13 season. An injury ended hopes of recapturing his form as he remained at Tottenham for the remaining period of his contract.
The former Brazilian number 1 had played 135 games for Tottenham during his British tenure, and this vast experience is expected to come in handy in his future endevours. As soon as Tottenham Hotspur announced the farewell of the Brazilian, Championship side Watford moved quickly to bag Heurelho Gomes's signature. Watford's Premier League ambitions has convinced Heurelho Gomes to commit his future to the Championship.
The deal agreed for one season with an option to extend it for another.
"There was some options but I came to meet the directors and the owners of the club and it is a club that can reach the high level. That is there ambition (to reach English Premier League) when I spoke to them they said about their ambition. "Two years ago the club nearly reached the Premier League and we will try this year again and they said they want to make a strong team and that's why (Heurelho Gomes joined).

The consensus from these big brains: What innovation?
Michael Mills from Neota Logic said online legal research was one innovation, which he acknowledged did improve efficiencies some, but it didn't really change the core delivery model.
So where am I going with this? Not where you might expect.
Many of the next-generation law firms (and non-law firms) hold themselves out as "innovative" and in fact win awards for said innovation. But when you peel back the covers, where is the innovation? Are they using next generation technologies like Neota and KM Standards? No. Are they building out process maps and reengineering how matters are managed and handled? Not that I can see. Are they employing project management people, principles and tools across the board? Well .. some are using them in document review, but otherwise - not so much.
What they appear to be doing is hiring BigLaw trained lawyers and utilizing significantly lower overhead. Some do it via onsite client secundments. Others do it with less expensive office space. All seem to do it with lower lawyer compensation. But this is merely doing it the same way - only cheaper.
Is this approach a smart idea? Absolutely. Many times I kick myself and Number 1 for not thinking of it first. But is this approach a real transformation to the way legal services are delivered?
Judge for yourself.

More Carnival Sunshine Revealed
More Carnival Sunshine Revealed
by Paul Motter
Carnival just opened up a new web-based reveal for Project Sunshine, the refurbished Carnival Destiny.
The new top deck includes an extensive waterpark
Carnival Cruise Lines is in the provess of completely refurbishing one of its most memorable ships from its past, the former Carnival Destiny is being remade as "Carnival Sunshine" by remodeling the ship, moving walls to add a number of new public rooms, completely re-decorating all of the staterooms, adding new dining spots and re-purposing many of the public rooms as space for added staterooms.
Carnival Destiny was launched in 1996 as the first cruise ever to debut at over 100,000-gross tons. I still recell seeing her appear in New York Harbor and being awed by her size. Essentially, she looked a little bit like previous Carnival, but it wasn't just that she had more decks (which she did), but the all important first impression she exuded was sheer size; Everything about her was just bigger, wider, taller and longer. It was like a regular Carnival cruise ship had been blown up like a balloon.
