Topic: New Usernames
Anyone ever get tired of their current username, and they want a new one? I know a few of you want one. Lately, I've been thinking that I want a new username, something more original. And this is what I thought of: Kom'rk Verd. Does anyone like it? It means "Gauntlet Warrior" in Mando'a. If anyone else wants a new username, post it here. Maybe Aaron will let us change ours.

The Science and Engineering Institutes, Singapore, Are Using Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis to Characterize Exosomes
|(Nanowerk News) The Molecular Engineering Laboratory was established in 2009 by Nobel Laureate Dr Sydney Brenner as a multi-disciplinary laboratory where diverse expertise from different realms of science could come together to develop novel technologies. Post-doctoral fellows in the laboratory undertake a wide variety of research ranging from organic fluorophore development to characterization of marine biomaterials with unique physical properties to genetic therapies.
|Dr Seow Yiqi is working to use exosomes (nanoparticles secreted by cells of ~100nm in size) to deliver therapeutic moieties to specific tissues in vivo. This is work that follows on from his DPhil studies at the University of Oxford in Professor Matthew Wood's group. Describing his work, he said "I used targeted exosomes loaded with siRNA to effect knockdown in the brain after intravenous injection of these exosomes. The development of 'self' delivery vehicles, such as patient-derived exosomes, may be a good first step towards gene/drug therapy that requires repeated delivery over a period of years or decades. Towards this aim, using the NanoSight system has proved to be invaluable in providing size and concentration measurement for each exosome purification. This data allows me to check the quality and purity of the preparation as well as to look at the physical effects of my surface modifications and loading protocols on the physical characteristics of exosomes."
|Dr Seow Yiqi using his NanoSight LM10 system at the MEL in Singapore.
|Other than NTA, he had used dynamic light scattering (DLS) for bulk measurement, and transmission electron microscopy using negative staining with phosphotungstanic acid for sizing. DLS was useful if the purification was pure and the sample being measured was relatively homogenous, but more often than not, the population purified tended to be polydisperse with nanoparticles of varying sizes in the same preparation. That biased the DLS measurements and it was difficult to get reproducible results with the system. In contrast, the TEM was accurate and precise, but the preparation was arduous and time-consuming and the results are a very small representation of the bulk, so it was not useful in working out concentration or size distribution. Concluding, he says, "Using Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis overcame these issues perfectly for my work. Measurements were rapid and by counting particle by particle, the true polydisperse nature of the samples was reported."

|About NanoSight
|NanoSight delivers the world's most versatile and proven multi-parameter nanoparticle analysis in a single instrument.
|NanoSight's "Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis" (NTA) detects and visualizes populations of nanoparticles in liquids down to 10 nm, dependent on material, and measures the size of each particle from direct observations of diffusion. Additionally, NanoSight measures concentration and a fluorescence mode differentiates suitably-labelled particles within complex background suspensions. Zeta potential measurements are similarly particle-specific. It is this particle-by-particle methodology that takes NTA beyond traditional light scattering and other ensemble techniques in providing high-resolution particle size distributions and validates data with information-rich video files of the particles moving under Brownian motion.
|This simultaneous multiparameter characterization matches the demands of complex biological systems, hence its wide application in development of drug delivery systems, of viral vaccines, and in nanotoxicology. This real-time data gives insight into the kinetics of protein aggregation and other time-dependent phenomena in a qualitative and quantitative manner. NanoSight has a growing role in biodiagnostics, being proven in detection and speciation of nanovesicles (exosomes) and microvesicles.
|NanoSight has installed approaching 500 systems worldwide with users including BASF, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, Proctor and Gamble, Roche and Unilever together with the most eminent universities and research institutes. NanoSight's technology is validated by 450+ third party papers citing NanoSight results and by the ASTM Standard E2834, consolidating NanoSight's leadership position in nanoparticle characterization.

Star QB: Will streaking Schaub get the Heisman?
The sports press says he came from nowhere. He was booed and benched at UVA's season-opening game last year– and then he went on to become ACC player of the year.
Now UVA has launched a major campaign for quarterback Matt Schaub to snag the Heisman Trophy as most outstanding football player of the year. The university has even created this unsubtle hint of a website: schaub4heisman.com.
The fifth-year player– he received his degree in May– has been a pretty good sport about all the media attention, including a big write-up in the August 18 USA Today. But he admits that he's getting a little tired of being asked about the whole Heisman hype.
"At this point, I just want to go out and play," Schaub (pronounced shob) says, parroting the time-honored quote that Kevin Costner advised a star athlete to use in Bull Durham.
He's also weary of being asked what he has changed from last season's opener. "I didn't change anything," says the 6'5" three-sport standout. "Things just clicked."
As captain of the team and with UVA touting him as a football hero, there must be some cool perks, right? Women throwing themselves at him, free cars, great apartments? Schaub winces at those NCAA-frowned-upon suggestions.
"I'm still looking for a perk," he says, noting that he doesn't even get free parking, but has to buy his parking pass like everybody else.
Now that he's everywhere in the media, he gets picked on more by his teammates, but he takes that in stride, insisting that it's all just fun. As for the most ridiculous thing he's had to do in the Heisman campaign, he doesn't hesitate: "dress up in a tuxedo." (He had to look like Agent 007 because of his jersey number.)
Schaub is one of those gifted athletes who excel in football, basketball, and baseball. In college, "I always thought I'd play basketball," he says, "but I realized in my junior year of high school that the sport that would carry me through college would be football."
As for baseball, he concedes that would be a "hard road to travel."
Schaub seems so unaffected, so wholesome, so un-prima donna-like that it's unlikely fans will one day read about him getting arrested for shoplifting or the other unsavory activities that often plague high-profile athletes.
He doesn't even have a tattoo. "I don't think my parents would allow me back in the house if I had one," he says.
But as congenial as he is, Schaub warns about one misconception: "Some see me as laid back and calm. They don't realize that on the field I'm fiery and motivated. I know when to be fiery."
Those are words to warm the heart of any coach... especially with the season opener against Duke coming August 30.

United States Captain Allen Wronowski has been working toward this week for six years, and the time to tee it up is finally here. Team USA has a ''tall mountain to climb,'' he says, but he's confident that his charges will play with pride, with passion and with one singular goal: Win!
Perhaps the question PGA.com's John Kim has been asked the most in his years working in the golf industry is, "What's your favorite golf event to attend?" His answer never fails to surprise, but it's totally sincere: It's the PGA Cup. His explanation just might convert you as well.
Next month, PGA teaching professional Benn Barham of Kent, England, will mark the third anniversary of his awakening to a new chapter in life – recovery from kidney cancer. This week, however, the 37-year-old Barham will make his first appearance for Great Britain & Ireland in the prestigious PGA Cup.

congrats and i sure do hope that you pick GMU over Baylor and Regent.
Did anyone else get this? Anne Richard called me telling me that I'm accepted and there's a packet of materials along with an acceptance letter in transit to my house right now. She told me that I'm a "very strong candidate" and seemed to know a fair amount about me. This seemed semi-obscure, yet refreshing to me. I was especially impressed after I went on their site and found out that she's a Yale JD and has a venerable legal career behind her. Anyway, just wondering.

Ford Motor Co. says it will donate $1 million to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, which is scheduled to open in 2016 on the National Mall in Washington.
Congress established the National Museum of African American History and Culture in 2003 as the 19th museum of the Smithsonian. The 400,000-square-foot building is under construction at a 5-acre site next to the Washington Monument and is expected to cost about $500 million.
The gift announced Friday comes from its philanthropic arm, the Ford Motor Co. Fund. The company says the money is going to the museum's capital fund.
Ford says it's given at least $11.5 million in the past 40 years for exhibits at programs with the Smithsonian.

This blog started when the Pritchard family adopted retired racing greyhound - Winnie. It still carries her name. Winnie died at Christmas 2012. This blog has now been archived and is no longer updated
Saturday, 10 March 2012
Oh! The inhumanity!!
Little did I know he had an early spring bath in mind for me.
Please note (on the picture above) the high tech, green showering device that is apparently deemed suitable for a dog of my standing.
You will also note that I am STANDING by the bins. Nice.
However, despite my long face (longer than usual maybe) I didn't really mind and my new pink dog shampoo did make me smell beautiful and made my fur super-soft.
When I was dried the MOTH also let me put on my new Union flag collar - in honour of Olympics year - which the LOTH bought me back from Day 1 of Crufts. It came from the lovely folks at Perry Barr Retired Greyhound Trust so I am glad the money went to their funds.
The LOTH is at Crufts all weekend, but it's only about 45 minutes drive from where we live so she comes home every night and I watch the coverage with her that the MOTH records between 6.30pm and 9pm.
If you want to read the stories she is covering (frankly, I wouldn't bother because I don't get a mention) you can go to the news and features section of her Lost and Fond website.
This blog hop is kindly hosted by Life With Dogs, Two Little Cavaliers and Confessions of the Plume.
If you'd like to join in and make new pet blogger friends, please follow your three hosts, add your blog to the Linky and copy and paste this week's new Linky code into the html editor of your own blog. The list will automatically update on everyone's blogs as new sites add themselves over this weekend and we can all hop from blog to blog and find out everybody's news.
Thanks again to our three hosts for putting on the hop!
If you follow a new blog after finding them in the blog hop - please let them know that you found them on the Saturday Pet Blog Hop.
Also, I'm afraid there are a couple of rules to make it fair for everyone: If your blog is not pet-related your link will be removed and links promoting giveaways that are unrelated to the pet blogger hop will be removed. This is a way of making friends and building our blogging community.

Actress Julianne Hough has issued a apology after she stepped out wearing "blackface" makeup to a Halloween party in Hollywood on Friday.
The actress provoked a storm of controversy after she dressed up as inmate character Crazy Eyes from "Orange Is the New Black" and was photographed wearing dark foundation on her face (click here to see the photo).
Critics slammed Hough for her 'blackface' appearance, with some even accusing her of racism – but she has now taken to her Twitter.com page to apologize and profess her admiration for actress Uzo Aduba, who plays Crazy Eyes in the comedy series.
She writes, "I am a huge fan of the show 'Orange Is the New Black,' actress Uzo Aduba, and the character she has created.
"It certainly was never my intention to be disrespectful or demeaning to anyone in any way. I realize my costume hurt and offended people and I truly apologize."

PANK is "Hip": Says National Writers Magazine
In its March 2010 edition, The Writer magazine has included PANK, the literary magazine produced in the Michigan Tech humanities department, among its "7 hip literary magazines you need to check out."
That's high praise from an important publication, according to Matt Seigel, assistant professor in humanities and editor of PANK.
"With Poets and Writers, it is one of the top publications for professional literary writers, whether they are looking for advice on placing their writing in publications, getting jobs, working with agents or finding what to submit where," Seigel said.
With thousands of publications to publish writers' works, it is impossible to keep track of them all, Seigel said. In a wrap-up section like that in The Writer, writers can scan a group that is talked about by genre or what venue might publish their work. That's what editor Mary Miller did in The Writer, Seigel said.
And Miller mentioned PANK in the same breath as Open City and Normal School, two renowned publications. "Open City is a big deal," Seigel said. "It contains the best voices of contemporary fiction."
PANK associate editor Roxane Gay is pleased as well. "It's nice to be recognized as an editor because we normally work behind the scenes. I'd like to hear the name PANK coming out of the mouths of more people and have its stories included among the Best American Short Stories some day.
PANK has grown from an annual print piece to a daily blog, monthly online magazine with ten to fifteen entries and annual print publication, with hopes of becoming semi-annual.
Its 240-page annual print run totals 750 copies that ship to 50 states, Canada, and the United Kingdom, according to Seigel.
"But online we are getting 800,000 hits from 75,000 people in 135 countries," he says, "and we expect to increase by 10 percent this year."
And why does The Writer editor Mary Miller love PANK?
"The blog is awesome, as is writer and associate editor Roxane Gay," Miller writes. "[It] publishes work worth rereading; although many of the writers can be considered 'emerging,' the work is always top-notch."
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

The rate of new HIV cases among black men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States is two times that among white MSM. Among black MSM under the age of 30, the rate is even higher—three times that of white MSM. These alarming data from HIV Prevention Trials Network study 061 (HPTN 061) were announced Monday, July 23, at the XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) in Washington DC, and echo those of another analysis of nearly 200 studies reported during a symposium on Tuesday, July 24.
The HPTN 061 preliminary results were reported by Kenneth Mayer, MD, of Boston's Fenway Health Center, and Beryl Koblin, of the New York Blood Center.
"There is an extreme health disparity in the U.S." Mayer said. "Black men who have sex with men comprise less than 1 percent of the U.S. population but more than 20 percent of new HIV infections over the last few years."
HPTN 061, a study of 1,553 black MSM conducted in Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco and Washington, DC, between July 2009 and December 2011, was an attempt to investigate interventions that might help stem new infections.
The study recruited both HIV-positive and HIV-negative black men 18 or older who identified as male or male at birth and reported at least one incident of unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) with another man within the past six months.
A little over a third of the men were 30 or younger, and 2 percent identified as transgender. Almost half had some college education or more; 31 percent worked full or part time and 20 percent were full- or part-time students. Sixty percent had an annual income less than $20,000.
The length of participation in the study averaged a year and most participants visited a study center three times. During each visit, they participated in interviews, were offered testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, and were given the opportunity to work with a peer health navigator who could assist them in getting connected to resources available in their community, such as medical care and social services.
At the start of the study, 174 men reported a previous diagnosis of HIV. Of those who said they had never been tested or had tested negative, 165 (12 percent) tested positive during their baseline visit. Of the 1,168 black MSM who were HIV negative at the start of the study, 1,009 agreed to be tested at least once during their follow-up visits.
Twenty six new infections were documented in the study, Koblin reported, which meant the incidence rate was 2.8 percent—50 percent higher than has been seen in white MSM studies. Among those between 18 and 30 years of age, the rate was an astonishing 5.9 percent—three times higher than the usual rate in white MSM studies—on account of the fact that 20 of the 26 new infections were documented among individuals in this age bracket.
The incidence was 4.3 percent among the study participants who identified as gay or bisexual, compared with 1.5 percent among the black MSM who identified as "other."
The incidence was 3.8 percent among black MSM who reported having sex exclusively with men and 1.7 percent among those who reported having sex with both men and women. And compared with an incidence of 1 percent among those who hadn't reported unprotected receptive anal intercourse, the incidence was nearly 5 percent among those who did.
Mayer's report shed light on some of the risk factors associated with HIV infection at the start of the study. His analysis was limited to those who entered the study with HIV and those who tested positive during their baseline visit; his data did not reflect those who tested positive for the virus while participating in the study. Both groups of individuals who were living with HIV at the start of the study were compared with those who began the study without HIV infection.
Previous and new HIV cases tended to be older (43 and 41 versus 39 years, respectively) than those who were HIV negative upon starting the study. People starting the study with HIV were also more likely to be unemployed, less likely to be in stable housing, more likely to have an income below $50,000, more likely to be transgender and more likely to identify as gay (as opposed to simply "MSM").
"The men in both HIV-positive groups reported slightly fewer partners, but were more likely to have had UAI as the receptive partner [bottom]," Mayer said. He also commented that the highest numbers of new (baseline visit) HIV diagnoses were found in Harlem, Atlanta and Washington, DC, with fewer found in the Boston site of the study.
"These data suggest that structural, behavioral and biological factors—particularly poverty, unemployment, local environment, UAI, being older and having STIs—is each independently associated with undiagnosed HIV infection among black MSM," Mayer said.
Both Mayer and Koblin commented that culturally-tailored interventions encouraging repeated HIV/STI testing, engagement in care and innovative prevention strategies addressing current risks are urgently need to decrease further spread of HIV among black MSM.
While these presentations did not specifically address the HPTN 061 findings on incarceration, Mayer did say that 60 percent of the men in the study had a history of incarceration. "The work we've done at the sites reveals that many of these incarcerations were from punitive drug laws and other kinds of discriminatory laws," he said. "You see a cycle where people may lose social agency by being incarcerated—having difficulties finding jobs and being constrained to a life of poverty."
Young Black MSM Acquiring HIV at Three Times the Rate of White MSM
The rate of new HIV cases among black men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States is two times that among white MSM. Among black MSM under the age of 30, the rate is even higher—three times that of white MSM. These alarming data from HIV Prevention Trials Network study 061 (HPTN 061) were announced Monday, July 23, at the XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) in Washington DC, and echo those of another analysis of nearly 200 studies reported during a symposium on Tuesday, July 24.


text: O.k guys I will start this thread with an admission "I am a masochist who enjoys riding a small capacity old fashioned bike as far and as wide as I can". My 350 Bullet has been a long term project and I think I have finally got it to the point where it is a reliable and fun form of transport so it must be time to whack a Hack on it My plan at this stage is to build a light weight hack that will allow me to take my kids for a ride (1 at a time) as they are not legally allowed on the back of the bike until they are 8 years old and will also allow me to carry all of the necessities (and a few luxuries) on those longer trips. I understand that power will be a big issue with this outfit but my 350 is a long way from standard and as the Bullet was built for over 60 years there are a lot of larger engine choices if the bug bites and I want to go a bit faster. So far I have had a bit of a play on the computer and made a bit of noise out in the shed and come up with a bit of a plan of what I want to do. All of the RHS I am using at the moment is 30mm x 30mm x 3mm. This material is fairly heavy but it is relatively cheap strong, and easy to work with. I am very new to this sidecar building business and at this stage I am pretty much working it all out as I am going along. I have spent hours and hours going through the different build threads on here and have found them really helpful. I look forward to getting all of the answers to all of the difficult questions from you guys in the coming weeks and I also really want to hear your suggestions for the build.

Ben not fazed by Batman backlash
Ben Affleck has revealed he wasn't too worried about the backlash when he was cast as Batman.
The actor admitted he was prepared for mixed reactions when he landed the part of the caped crusader in Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, so didn't pay too much attention to the people who suggested he wasn't the right choice.
He told Entertainment Weekly: "Before I took the role, Warner Bros gave me a bunch of past reactions to casting and said, 'Are you sure you want to get into this? This is part and parcel of these movies now. There's a lot of active fans with a lot of opinions.'
"To me, having been through a certain amount of that, it doesn't really... Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I wouldn't have taken the part if I didn't trust my instincts in terms of the filmmaking.
"I think Chris Terrio wrote a terrific script. Zack's (Snyder) a great visual director. And there's an interesting take. I wouldn't have done it if I didn't think I could do it. I have the benefit of a lot of that understanding."
Ben, 42, said people having strong opinions about casting is part of the movie process these days, referencing all the buzz around who would be Christian Grey in the big screen adaptation of Fifty Shades Of Grey (a part which went to Jamie Dornan).
He said: "Everyone is entitled to their opinion. That's a big part of this international sport. The Fifty Shades Of Grey kid or whatever it is. That's sort of become a thing."
Argo star Ben also said it's great that people care about the Man Of Steel follow up and that he would do his best to do it justice.
"It is incumbent on you to honour the story," he said. "There are the Greek myths and these are the American myths. The American myths are these superheroes. People care about 'em a lot. And it's incumbent on you to do a good job and make it as excellent as you possibly can. At the end of the day, the movie's all that matters."
Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice will be released in cinemas on March 25, 2016.

In early October, BP and its contractors Transocean and Halliburton, were cited by the Interior Department for their negligence in the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf last year.
According to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), the companies have 60 days to file appeals before any penalties are imposed against them.
Also see: "Oil Spills Are Forever: Activists Fight to Hold Exxon Mobil Accountable in Alaska (Part One)"
The main voice opposing the "slap-on-the-wrist" measures against BP is US Rep. Edward Markey, who calls for stronger penalties. Under law, fines are capped at $35,000 a day, per incident for the violations, which Markey estimates to be just seven hours worth of BP's profits.
"That fine obviously does not even begin to approach the amount needed to be a deterrent against a repeat of this tragedy. That fine is a slap on the wrist," Markey said.
However, the citation for BP appears to be more of a warning measure, as Michael Bromwich, head of the BSEE, also said that it wouldn't be appropriate to completely ban BP from offshore drilling.
"The question is, 'Do you administer the administrative death penalty based on one incident?' and we've concluded that's not appropriate," Bromwich said.
Incidentally, just last week, the Department of the Interior gave its first approval of a Gulf oil exploration plan submitted by BP.
Furthermore, the same agency responsible for issuing drilling permits to BP, the BSEE, has also allowed BP to participate in an upcoming oil lease auction for the Gulf in December.
Deepwater Horizon Disaster's Lingering Effects
It has been a year and a half since the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico, yet the effects of the environmental disaster are still being felt – both by the nonhuman ecosystems directly affected and by coastal residents who depend on the waters for their livelihoods.
According to a recent report in The New York Times, shrimpers in southeastern Louisiana have called this year's white shrimp season the "worst in memory," with some fishermen claiming an 80 percent loss this year.
While the poor shrimping season has been attributed to many factors, research at Louisiana State University (LSU) points to lingering effects of the BP oil spill. Joris L. van der Ham, a researcher at LSU, said his findings are not yet complete, but suggest that compounds in the oil may have stunted the shrimp's growth rate.
Another recent study put out by the same university finds that certain fish species in the Gulf that have been exposed to the oil have shown signs of cellular damage that could impair reproduction.
Furthermore, low doses of the toxic oil compounds can have longer-lasting effects, which may take months or even years to manifest themselves, as we saw with the herring fishing collapse four years after the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska, which to this day remains debated as a definitive cause of the species collapse.
Government and industry officials have repeatedly come out with reports that find the seafood in the Gulf "safe to eat." However, a recent study by the journal Environmental Health Perspectives found that the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) quick reassurance of Gulf seafood safety was based on flawed analysis, leading to human consumption of seafood contaminated by as much as 10,000 times the FDA-approved "safe" level of toxicity.
Miriam Rotkin-Ellman, a staff scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council and co-author of the study, acknowledged two areas of concern: the accumulation of the contaminants within the tissue of the shrimp and the effects the toxics have on the affected species for both survival and reproduction. Both factors appear to come into play when it comes to health implications for consumers of the seafood.
"It is difficult to say how long the contamination will last," Rotkin-Ellman said. "The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) could take ten years to break down."
She avers that even though the BP oil spill is unprecedented in the Gulf, the science is available that can effectively study and monitor the effects of the spill on the ecosystem. She also said that this erroneous information from the FDA is not an anomaly.
"The FDA shows a pattern of flawed regulation; it turns a blind eye to contamination and chemicals in many foods and consumer products, from pesticides to hormones to additives," Rotkin-Ellman said.

GORIZA, Italy (July 21, 2013) – The Portland State Chamber Choir won the first-place "Grand Prix" award at the 52nd annual Seghizzi International Choral Competition last week.
PSU's choir is the first US ensemble in nine years to be invited to this competition, which featured 22 top choirs from 21 countries. The competition featured musical categories ranging from 19th and 20th century classical genres to folk and popular music.
Finalists were determined based on scores in the classical categories. Choirs competing in the finals were able to perform any song or genre of their choosing. Portland State's final set included: "A Boy and a Girl" by Eric Whitacre; "Desh" arr. by Ethan Sperry; "Pater Noster" by Giuseppe Verde; "Blessed Art Thou O Lord" by Sergei Rachmaninoff; and "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, arr. by Ethan Sperry.
"It's quite an amazing feeling -- I'm not sure it's completely real yet," said PSU choir director Ethan Sperry. "I told everybody all along that we're not competing with the other choirs, we're just competing with ourselves to do the best we possibly can, and they did. I've never seen a group work so hard every single day, every single minute. It's unbelievable the level of focus and commitment.
"If anyone in the larger United States is paying attention, I think they should be proud of us being able to cross cultural barriers and show the best side of our country," he added.
In addition to placing first in the overall competition, PSU won top honors in the categories of 19th Century Classical, Spiritual, and Choreography, among several other awards.


text: Last night's season finale of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey featured an attack of Italian authenticity by Teresa Giudice on the Manzo family. In very first pages of her Italian family cookbook Fabulicious! (real name — seriously) Teresa writes, "Caroline Manzo is as Italian as the Olive Garden." She continues, "However, I am a fan of Caroline Manzo, even if she is only one sixteenth Italian, or whatever she is." Ouch! Then we got to see how Caroline reacted as the passage was read aloud in front of her beloved family. Spoiler alert: she was not amused.

Did Justin Bieber Get a Kitten? [Pics]
Justin Bieber appears to have gotten a kitten. He posted three photos of the adorbs feline on his Instagram feed and she is so cute we can't stand it.
With her big head and round face, she looks like a Himalayan, known for those distinct facial features. She also looks perpetually cranky, like Victoria Beckham and Kristen Stewart, who are known for their perma-scowls.
We have to say that we hope that that the Biebs is more responsible with this kitten than he was with his monkey Mally, who he abandoned in Germany. He also came to possess the primate at too young of an age, which could stunt its development.
And don't get us started on Pac, the hamster he handed off to a Belieber and who later died. He has demonstrated incredible irresponsibility and lack of consideration for critters and fur babies. We don't like it. If he acquires a pet, he needs to honor his commitment to it.
A pair of gilded kicks is an accessory. A living, breathing thing is not. He's already inspired the ire of Taylor Swift, a renowned cat lover. Maybe when Biebs tires of his kitten, he can curry T. Swizzle's favor by gifting her with the kitty?
All that said, gawk at the feline furball below.
Biebs even captioned one of the photos with "This chick thinks she's a model." Um, yeah!

Talend is marrying up its expertise in open source data management software with Cloudera's Hadoop-based services to announce a new technology partnership to integrate the two companies' open source solutions. Aiming to address scalability issues for large-scale data-intensive distributed applications, this new joint effort is aligned to focus on simplified data transformation and processing.
Pooling technology resources in this way, Talend and Cloudera will attempt to give enterprises using the Hadoop software framework's data distribution capabilities working at a level to support thousands of nodes and petabytes worth of data.
Talend says its data integration environment makes it possible to create and execute Hadoop data transformation jobs directly with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. At the same time, Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop (CDH) is designed to run on inexpensive hardware thus avoiding the need for costly high-range servers. So in theory, running Cloudera's massively parallel MapReduce architecture to execute data integration processes across Talend's technology with native support for Hadoop, data clusters can be managed under this joint solution that accommodate for peak data volumes and complex transformations.
The companies say that this technology partnership demonstrates the power of the open source Hadoop platform in terms of compatibility, database import/export functions and Hive, the data warehouse infrastructure built on top of Hadoop.
Talend itself says that companies that need to extract data from applications can leverage Talend's connectors to extract it from disparate sources and load it into Hadoop using Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop data-loading features.
"Customers use Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop to filter through immense amounts of complex data," said Mike Olson, CEO of Cloudera. "The integration of Talend and Hadoop will simplify and accelerate this quest, enabling organizations of all sizes to tackle the largest and most complex data projects with ease."

Brother Sports
edited October 2011 in Non-Animal Collective Discussion
What is your favorite sport to play, what do you like to watch, and what do you not like, and if you like sports do you have a favorite team. I know Panda Bear is a big Baltimore Orioles fan and he keeps up on what they are doing. I found it weird that there are absolutly no topics invovling sports. Anywho... I love skiing, playing golf, and kicking around the soccer ball with my friends. My favorite teams are the Minnesota Twins, and the Minnesota Wild. And feel free to say you do not like sports, or chime in on some sports, voice your opinion because I am interested.
I LOVE SKIING. And soccer was my life until I had knee surgery senior year in high school. I've been brought up in a sport oriented household so I love it. (Not so much NFL). Fav teams = Manchester United, Anaheim Angels, LA Kings, LA Lakers
I love volleyball, and even though I'm horrible at it, never hesitate to play with my friends! (even though whoever has me on their team is guaranteed a loss, we try!  ) I'm pretty tall as well, and actually used to be pretty good at high jump. I love skiing, which is too bad, because here in Saskatchewan, though we have the snow and freezing weather, our few skiing hills are tiny, man-made, and hours away from the city..
I love skiing too. But I'm a tennis player.
i used to play soccer from when i was like 6-12 then i started skating and i've been doing that ever since with acational injury breaks. the best thing about skating you decide when and where to do it.
True, true, we do not seem to be much of a sporty group. I like activities which allow my body to physically interact with the earth (hiking, swimming, sledding) but don't like organized people activities. So I never gravitated towards sports.
Hiking is awesome. I'm so fortunate to be in California. So many state and national parks and awesome coastline. (Forgot to add that I also did track and field - triple jump, high jump)
[quote="Dave"]Never had a chance to do snow sports, but I'll bet none of you have swam as deep in the ocean as I have. Gotta love those placid Miami seas.[/quote] Are you a diver? And yeah I love swimming too but I hate going to the pool. When I was in Hawaii I swam out about half a mile one day with just a mask and stayed for a good three hours swimming around the reefs. Wonderful. And yeah I'm from Colorado so there's never an excuse not to hike or something. There's so many activities outdoors year-round.
[quote="Dave"] I love the New York Giants. They're in for a rough year, but they're my team. I hate the fucking Eagles.[/quote] I feel the same about my Minnesota Vikings. Blowing three games when you are up 20+ at half time. __<" title="mad" /> I hate the Green Bay Packers, like you hate the EGL's. Everytime I see a Cheesehead brag because they won, there are a lot of GB Packer fans in Minnesota, I just want to say shut up and go back to Madison. The reason why I do not consider them a favorite team is becuse ever since I was 4 years old they let me down. 2 years ago when they lost to the saints I had a meltdown and flipped my couch over while my brother was in it. __<" title="mad" /> I do not like the Dallas Cowboys, America's team, I say bullshit. As for baseball, my Twins sucked. They have the world's strongest head, Justin Morneau, and the worlds most healthy player, Joe Mauer, and with them the Twins lost 99 of the 162 games they played with paying the players over 100 million in total.  I'am not the most in shape person, but I like biking a shit load, and always wear a helmet, it is just a sugestion. I got blind sided by another biker and had a mild concussion and a couple of stiches when I crashed. If I would have worn a helmet I would just have a couple of scratches on my knees. I am officially designating this as a sports rant topic, and if you do want to rant here, go ahead, be my guest.
I've never been to Argentina. That would be a fun trip. acorgi should all go to patagonia for a weekend. But yeah, I love Colorado. I don't think I'll be here next year, but I really love the weather and the mountains. Actually the mountains are one of my favorite places to be. There are so many quaint little mountain towns and people and hiking places and caves and such.
Oh, I love dancing, too! I don't think of it as a sport, it's more to me a form of natural body movement. Like, babies dance as soon as they can stand (and my god, it's so cute). Babies also throw things and punch, so I guess baseball and boxing are forms of natural body movement, too.
Personally I think dancing can be a sport if you compete or show off to people, but if you are like me, and you dance like you are having a seizure, you would see it as Wini sees it. It is just a physical response from emotional euphoria. Off topic: As a baby I would play with my fathers stereo, and crank it up when my father played the Who.
"Don't cry...don't raise your eyes...it's OHN LEE TEEN AGE WASTELAND badumbadumbadumHEY"
What are your favorite winter activities? I like skiing, ice fishing, and snow mobiling. This kind of question is dependent on your geopraphy, so if you want some snow I will give a refridgerated box full of snow in the mail. (Edit: I forgot about Hockey, duh)
i've never gone ice fishing OR snow mobiling! and i've only went skiing once! what kind of minnesotan am i? gah!
I really don't go ice fishing all that often and my snow mobile was sold two years ago but I like doing them regardless of how much I do them. I think you could be secretly Iowan.
Secretly Canadian! eh!
Calf curling.
cow hurling.
Snowboarding is awesome, my favorite sport. biking and dirt biking is fun too, along with badminton in the backyard net. Swimming is super fun also
LOL cow hurling ftw
Yeah its a traditional sport in my town, talking of weird sports there is a traditional sport in this town in England where you roll big wheels of cheese down a hill hahaha and im part Scottish and they do log throwing hahaha ! But my sport was rugby its like your American football, i played for my county of berkshire and then i twisted my spine and couldn't play anymore, forever !
I'm not a huge fan of too many sports, but I find myself a huge fan of golf. I do play it (though admittedly not well...) and I find it relaxing and enjoyable. I try to watch the PGA tours as well, and am currently a HUGE fan of Rory Mcilroy. :]
My great grandad was a British golf champion and captain of a golf club here where i live, and my other grandad and his wife are berkshire couples champions, so i think golf runs in my family, i gave it a try on the driving range, i can hit it pretty far but with little accuracy ! Bleugh !
I bet that accuracy would come with time, Clay.
I View dancing as a physical art. Nevermind, I love dancing and people at concerts always give me funny looks, especially when everyone else is sitting. I love disk sports. I play them all year round. Disk golf, Ultimate frisbee or just tossing a disk around. I like running and split second thinking games but I am not a big fan of training or organized athletisism. I was in track in highschool for a year and hated it. I sucked though, all the other long jumpers said I jumped like a girl. I love the packers. Go PACK!
Go VikQUEENS! EYAH!
I also represented England for shottput, it was the nationals, i went up against Scotland Ireland and Wales, i came third ! My biggest accomplishment to date !
Was this acheivement affiliated with the IOC. Have you ever been to an olympic qualifier for Shot Put, just curious Clay.
No no, i could have if i came first, there was Olympic scouts everywhere that day but no i didn't, i lost to Wales !
A proffessional Athlete in our Midst?
I wish, i also done county long jump ! I was quite the athlete but no more, it sounds like i am making this up but i promise i am not !
used to be a boxer but then they cut off my hands
Oh my god...
I just ran a 5K in the cold weather of Minnesota, man am I tired. Since I'am a little chubby it was good to beat a couple of fit people running it. Running long distances is as much a mental sport as it is a physical sport, that is why I got a decent time. I'am still frozen and it has been about an hour since I ran in it, plus I have a splitting headache.
Fuck dude, that's a long way to run in the cold.
It was for charity, but I'am sick, if I miss school this final week of the semester I'am FUCKED.
that sucks, what all ya gotta do final week?
Tests, Speechs, stuff which requires me to not be absent!
Dag. I nearly failed a class last semester because I overslept through a final.
Did anyone pay any atention to the NFL over the past couple of weeks. I know I did, and I love the playoffs, does anone have a favorite memory, team, or super bowl party. Same goes for other sports, do you remember the olympics of certain years. NFC Championship 1998-1999, Gary Anderson, SUCKED for the Vikqueens! I was 4 and a half and I remember the disapointment. Happy the Pack lost today.
hell the fuck yes. giants fan. SOOOOOOOO fuck Mr. Rodgers. AHAHAHAHA packers lose. they were favored by 7 1/2 points, and they lost by 17. so many people underestimate the giants, they did the same shit when they won a few years ago. but i was drinking whiskey and taking bumps while they won so i didn't see the game. 21st birthday parties are where it is at.
The hell yeah, strong whiskey. I liked the giants coming in because they came in hot, on a roll. They almost beat the pack in Jersey, but Mr. Discount Double check pulled it out late. Justice for NYG. What do you think about Tebow, good, bad, should be a preacher and not a quarterback, I think hes a good person but horrible quarterback.
I love Tebow. As a person. Not so much as a quarterback. The game yesterday was awful. My dad went to Florida so we've followed Tebow for a long time now and it's kinda weird that he came to Denver. But yeah. I was just back in Jacksonville and I think he's a bigger deal there than here haha. Plus he goes to my church now! He sat next to us last sunday.
no shit? cool man
Wow, that is pretty cool, even if I am not a practicing christian that is awesome. I seriouslly wonder if HE thinks GOD can help him win games or if NOW, since even Kurt Warner said turn it down, that he only thinks God graced him to be in a favorable position. Regardless he is a pretty cool dude, but dreadful NFL quarterback, give me Tarvaris Jackson!
yeah dude, it's next to impossible to be a good scrambling qb in the pros. it works in college, but the skill level in the nfl is just too high for a qb who's an ok runner and an ok passer. you've gotta be really good at one.

OUTFIT DU JOUR - Are You Serious?
Hello there! Don't you hate it when you shop online, there's always a risk of "hit or miss"?!? I mean I just cannot understand why among all three pieces from Rick Owens I ordered on Net-a-Porter, this is the only dress that fits, let alone looks good on me! At least, it's a real "hit" with plunged cow neck and cutaway back (and my fat is not oozing out from the sides!!!).
And I was sooooo confident with the sizes...I mean it's clearly not the first time I try on RO's clothes. I know they're made small...but those two barely made it pass my head!
Mr Owens, I do love your clothes but hate that your sizing is so inconsistent! For future reference, can you make all your size IT38 fit me like a glove?
Dress - Rick Owens; Shoes - Loeffler Randall; Tote - Celine; Starfish ring - YSL; Arty ring - YSL

(Numéro #135 August 2012)
Oh yes! Gorgeous model Anne Vyalitsyna is definitely creating what I would consider a couture fantasie, body fantasie and fashion editorial fantasie!!!
Here's what I've been carrying around in my Celine Mini (from top left):
Passport, Bliss Body Butter lotion, Ray Ban sunglasses, Carven wallet, Kiehl's Lip Balm #1, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen, iPhone, Mili extra battery charger, water.
Trust me, it's usually not that neat. I just didn't go out with my son today (which would otherwise make my bag exactly 5 lbs heavier with diapers, extra set of clothes, toys, snacks, iPad and bottles)!

OBSESSION DU JOUR - Christopher Ross Belts
I've been obsessed over Christopher Ross belts for as long as I can remember. My illness should be single-handedly credited to Judy Aldridge, fashion blogger from Atlantis Home and expert on all vintage Christopher Ross belts! You may also know her as the mom of the popular blogger, Jane Aldridge from Sea of Shoes.
Anyways, look at how massive and shiny those belt buckles are!!! Most of them are about 8" wide, which can cover almost your whole waistline from front view! And I love the yellow gold with gemstones eyes on the animals, especially the grasshopper. Can you image this belt with a flowy silk dress? Or with distressed jeans and a sharp blazer?
But since these beauties are mostly vintage, they tend to go high (in demand and therefore also in price) when a few pop-up on ebay.

OUTFIT DU JOUR - Bold
It's been beautiful everyday since we got back to Shanghai last tuesday...mostly sunny with some overcast with temperature in the high 20's...you really can't ask for much more! Too bad the whole family has been so jet-lagged that we barely took advantage of the weather.
So today, I decided that I'm going to wear my new Missoni dress! Otherwise, before you know it, it'll be fall and I'll have to wait yet another year until the next time I get a chance to wear it. In fact, now that I think about all the dresses I've gotten over the last year and never wore, I'll make it a thing to put on something new (sometimes still with tags on) and wear it casually (even if it means to the grocery store). Yup, this will be my "mid-year resolution"!
Dress - Missoni; Clutch - Club Monaco; Necklace - Ebay; Starfish ring - YSL; Arty ring - YSL; Clic Clac bracelet - Hermes; Crystal bracelet - Swarovski; Flip Flop - A&F

HAIR TREND - Big Curls
I was asked to model for my friend's salon SACO Mtl during their Kevin Murphy's presentation last week. Although I've always been obsessed with BIG CURLS (don't we all want what we can't have?!?), according to Master Stylist and Right Hand of Kevin Murphy, Mr Tim McClean mentioned that the modern hair is big and full of volume. In other words, we should all throw away our straightening iron!
The other two key words he kept repeating are "professionally undone". Wildness with control. Let our hair air dry but with the right products. At their studio, he offers clients workshops where he teaches quick ways to add volume/curls without heat...all while you can put your makeup on! And most important advice, to keep the curls modern, start between the temple and cheekbone instead of at roots to avoid a recreation of the 80's.
One tool used on me that I thought was the most innovative was the Sewing Kit, which is basically a set of two giant needle and linen thread to match your hair colour. After curling my hair, he used it to secure a messy up-do (sorry I forgot to take pictures of that) by "sewing" my hair together! It was painless (no bobby pins digging into my head thank you) and such a seamless look!

BEAUTY TREND - Beauty Mark
(Chanel Resort 2013)
Every year, Chanel's presentation are not only an inspiration for fashion trend, but also for beauty trend (we all remember the innovative black nail polish, temporary tattoos and embellished eyebrows).
Will beauty marks be the next thing (CC beauty mark to be precise)? Personally, I'm really feeling the signature CC Marie-Antoinette look! Excellent party theme look, don't you think?!?
OUTFIT DU JOUR - Copy Cat
Some might see it as a sign of form of annoyance but I rather think it a form of flattery (especially if it's someone who is already known for good styling)! In fact, in many instance, my closest girlfriends and I often end up getting the same (exact same style/same colour) pieces of clothing, accessory and purses without knowing! Regardless if intentional or not, I always feel it doesn't really matter since no two people wear it the same way.
This time, I'm the copy cat. I've seen my best friend wear this oversized Missoni-inspired dress so many times since last summer that I decided to get it myself. Seems like a good piece when I want to look good on my bloated days (which evidently, seems to be everyday since I got back to Montreal thanks to all the lunch/dinner commitments).
Dress - BCBG; Shoes - Christian Louboutin; Medaillon bracelet - Vintage Chanel; Crystal bracelet - Swarovski; Mix Bangles - Street Vendor.
Tres Chic Gymwear
(Marie Claire Italia June 2012)
Although this is not your typical gym outfit, I do like the idea of of sporting designer costume jewelry with sportswear. Sold out Lanvin Eagle necklace with jersey top? Yes, please!
And again, here's another case of pop colour ombre hair..,love!

Students and faculty at Indiana State University are working with city officials and the Vigo County Health Department to help keep children safe from a threat common to older communities such as Terre Haute.
Nursing students test children's blood for lead poisoning while earth and environmental systems students test soil for lead contamination.
"Any amount of lead in the body of a young child is a health risk," said Esther Acree, associate professor of nursing and director of the Sycamore Nursing Center. "The effects can be devastating, leading to permanent loss of IQ, developmental challenges and the potential for violent tendencies."
In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cut in half the threshold for determining lead poisoning in young children. In announcing the new standard for persons under 6, health officials said the change means as many as 1 million children nationwide could now be diagnosed with the condition that can permanently damage developing brains. That's a fourfold increase from the number of preschoolers believed to be at risk under the previous standard.
While Indiana has yet to adopt the new standard of 5 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood statewide, some local health departments, including Vigo County, are following the new guidelines. City officials say about one-half of all homes in Terre Haute were built before 1950 and pose a risk from lead-based paint, which was banned for U.S. homes in 1978.
Since 2004, junior-level nursing students have conducted lead screenings at Locust Street IGA, the Sycamore Nursing Center, at Head Start, and at community health fairs.
The health department provides nursing students with hands-on training in the prevention, treatment and follow-up for lead poisoning, said Joni Wise, department administrator.
"Lead poisoning is entirely preventable. The key is stopping children from coming into contact with lead and treating children who have been poisoned by lead," Wise said.
Student nurses work with the department on case management for children. They also help educate parents, guardians and caregivers on how to prevent exposure, Wise said.
The health department estimates about 1,100 Vigo County children are screened each year with more than 11 percent testing positive - a rate twice the state average.
In recent years, faculty and students in the department of earth and environmental systems have become involved by testing soil samples throughout the city.
"There are some areas that have elevated levels, there are some that don't," said Jennifer Latimer, associate professor of geology. "There are ... brick homes that have elevated lead levels in their yards whereas homes that were probably painted with lead-based paint at some point don't have elevated levels so it's highly variable."
Last year, students took soil samples from the Terre Haute Community Garden, located on university-owned property east of campus where several older homes once stood. As with previous studies, the results varied widely.
Gardeners who grow food not only for their own families but also to donate to local food banks - a requirement for staking out a plot at the community garden - welcomed the testing.
"To know specifically whether one's individual plot was heavy in lead or not is something that's very valuable to have," said John Halladay. "You can either plant different crops there or do various kinds of emendations."
Joey Pettit, a Ph.D. student in earth and spatial systems, tested soil from outside the Early Childhood Education Center at University Apartments and found no lead problem. City officials plan to use the results of ISU students' tests to help create a map identifying at risk areas.
"It makes me feel quite good" to have played a role in the ongoing effort, Pettit said. "Some of the lead testing ... goes to the city planner. He then knows a little bit more about what is going on ... and he can make decisions based on that information."
The department of earth and environmental systems offers free soil testing to residents who want to participate. If tests find high lead concentrations in yards or gardens, faculty will provide recommendations for managing the situation. Interested person may request information at firstname.lastname@example.com or through the Institute for Community Sustainability.
In collaboration with the institute, Wabash Valley Master Gardeners Association and the Purdue Extension Office, the department will also offer safe urban gardening workshops during the gardening season.
The first step in treating lead poisoning is to remove the source of the contamination or seal lead containing products, such as paint, Latimer said. Lead in soil generally does not pose a threat unless it is disturbed or if it becomes airborne. Children are more susceptible to lead dust exposure because of their hand to mouth behaviors and ingestion is a common route of exposure, she said.
"That's probably one of the biggest problems we have," Latimer said. "Studies have shown that kids actually have elevated levels of lead in the summer just from playing outside because there's more lead dust in the atmosphere."
The best way to prevent lead in soil from presenting a health risk is to keep it covered with mulch or vegetation. Gardeners should be sure to thoroughly clean and peel vegetables before eating and avoid tracking dirt into the home. Also, cleaning floors with a wet cloth or mop is preferable to vacuuming, Latimer said.
Nancy Rogers, associate vice president for academic affairs and director of Indiana State's Center for Community Engagement, said the lead testing and education work of students and faculty is a prime example of how community-based research and service benefits both students and the community.
"Some families would not even know if their children had elevated lead levels in their blood if it was not for the testing that our students provided, Rogers said. "My hope is that we can continue to work with community partners to build on this important work."
As part of the Indiana State University College of Arts and Sciences "Our Town" Community Semester, Professor Latimer will discuss "Urban Lead: The Legacy of Leaded Gasoline, Lead-based Paint and Coal" during a Science Café event Feb. 23 from 9:30 - 11 a.m. at Clabber Girl, 900 Wabash Ave. in Terre Haute.
