The Spences of Kinston are hoping to win a title in the Triangle Saturday
Without a Lenoir County FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics team, a Kinston family has used Wayne County resources for its participation in the organizations annual regional competition in Raleigh.
The Spence family started engineering robots through Wayne County�s 4-H Robotic program. This year, the family has multiple sponsors to fund their entry into FIRST Games to be held at Raleigh�s Dorton Arena starting today.
Laura Spence and family � including six children � began participating three years ago. The competition tasks are to build, design and control a robot through a series of obstacle-like settings on an open field; more than 50 regional teams are given six weeks to construct a robot and will compete this weekend.
The Spences are on Team 3737 Roto Raptors, along with 20 official members between 12 and 18-years-old. The group also includes several mentors who are older than 18.
This year, the group worked out of friends� garages because they lost their storage space at the Wayne County 4-H office to a pottery class.
As they prepare for the near-$15,000 activity, Laura Spence said JCP is a significant sponsor because the company has a national initiative to support Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) efforts by awarding up $5,000 first-year grants.
She said it�s an avenue to get a local FIRST team.
�If there was a team that wanted to form in Lenoir County, they definitely have sponsors,� said Spence, who began robotics in Wayne County as the home school leader for Goldsboro�s Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. �We can bring this program to this county, too.�
In the meantime, Spence, her husband and age-eligible children continue to prepare for the final activities of the build and design season.
FIRST began in January with a kick-off robot building event in 83 places, including Canada. Spence said Roto Raptors visited a recent competition in Myrtle Beach, S.C. to scope out any regional competition for the weekend�s games.
The top eight teams who advance to nationals to be held in St. Louis, Mo. will select two other teams a piece to form an alliance against the winners they�ll face at nationals. Roto Raptors haven�t yet made a trip to the national games.
Last year, the team won the Cooperation Award for successfully balancing its robot on a see-saw. They machine they built this year was stored away until today, which will be the first time they test it as a complete model.
�It takes a fairly decent amount of skill, because you program it yourself,� Josh Spence, 16, said.
He said he enjoys the crude mechanical engineering facet of the team and helped create the team�s website.
Laura Spence said aside from engineering and social skills, the teams learn how to brand a product. Roto Raptors, for instance, just constructed a raptor mascot uniform, which was worn by 14-year-old Daniel Spence on Tuesday.
�We had to try it on 50 times a week,� he said slightly laughing. �It took a long while.�
Laura Spence said the atmosphere is loud and spirited as teams display their mascot. Teams even have some cheer squads.
�There�s a position for everyone,� she said.
She added the robotics program would benefit from having more teams in the community.
�It�s a very expensive hobby, but it�s very worth it for the kids who have an opportunity to build,� she said. �We�d love to have more teams (and) we�re willing to help out.�

Sandro Botticelli's birth of venus: http://www.allartpainting.com/the-birth-of-venus-p-648.html
1 thought on "What painting techniques have been used in this Sandro Botticelli painting?"
Artist Sandro Botticelli
Year c. 1482–1486
Type tempera on canvas
Dimensions 172.5 cm × 278.5 cm (67.9 in × 109.6 in)
Location Uffizi, Florence
This large picture may have been, like the Primavera, painted for Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici's Villa di Castello, around 1482, or even before. Some scholars suggest that the Venus painted for Lorenzo and mentioned by Giorgio Vasari may have been a different work, now lost. Some art historians believe it to be a celebration of the love of Giuliano di Piero de' Medici (who died in the Pazzi conspiracy in 1478).
The technique is tempera on canvas.
From E.H. Gombrich, "The Story of Art":
"Among the Florentine artists of the second half of the fifteenth century who strove for a solution to this question was the painter Sandro Botticelli (1446-1510). One of his most famous pictures represents not a Christian legend but a classical myth – the Birth of Venus. The classical poets had been known all through the Middle Ages, but only at the time of the Renaissance, when the Italians tried so passionately to recapture the former glory of Rome, did the classical myths become popular among educated laymen. To these men, the mythology of the admired Greeks and Romans represented something more than gay and pretty fairy-tales. They were so convinced of the superior wisdom of the ancients that they believed these classical legends must contain some profound and mysterious truth. The patron who commissioned the Botticelli painting for his country villa was a member of the rich and powerful family of the Medici. Either he himself, or one of his learned friends, probably explained to the painter what was known of the way the ancients had represented Venus rising from the sea. To these scholars the story of her birth was the symbol of mystery through which the divine message of beauty came into the world. One can imagine that the painter set to work reverently to represent this myth in a worthy manner. The action of the picture is quickly understood. Venus has emerged from the sea on a shell which is driven to the shore by flying wind-gods amidst a shower of roses. As she is about to step on to the land, one of the Hours or Nymphs receives her with a purple cloak. Botticelli has succeeded where Pollaiuolo failed. His picture forms, in fact, a perfectly harmonious pattern. But Pollaiuolo might have said that Botticelli had done so by sacrificing some of the achievements he had tried so hard to preserve. Botticelli's figures look less solid. They are not so correctly drawn as Pollaiuolo or Masaccio's. The graceful movements and melodious lines of his composition recall the Gothic tradition of Ghiberti and Fra Angelico, perhaps even the art of the fourteenth century – works such as Simone Martini's 'Annunciation'. Botticelli's Venus is so beautiful that we do not notice the unnatural length of her neck, the steep fall of her shoulders and the queer way her left arm is hinged to the body. Or, rather, we should say that these liberties which Botticelli took with nature in order to achieve a graceful outline add to the beauty and harmony of the design because they enhance the impression of an infinitely tender and delicate being, wafted to our shores as a gift from Heaven."

can helium be used on gmaw? im in the army and cost dose not matter.
No announcement yet.
new posts
i would sat yes because it is a inert gas but unless ur welding alum i would have to say stay away from it. it costs more than argon or co2 much harder to weld and weld quality would be hard to get. a mig mix or or strait co2 is ur best bet 4 steel and argon or a alum mig mix is ur best bet. they add helium to mig gasses to help out with penetration on mild steel mig mixes. call ur local welding store to get the low down on these gas mixes.
im trying to remember all this from school so i might be wrong, been a long time since then sooo...plz correct me guys if need be.Last edited by arc; 02-29-2008, 08:27 AM.trail blazer 302

Miller has a good write-up on the uses of Helium in their GMAW handbook (page 140). You should be able to download it, or you can order a copy thru the mail.
Basically, for short circuit, low alloy steel, a 60-70%HE + 25-35% Argon + 4-5% CO2 mix gives "minimum reactivity; excellent toughness; excellent arc stability, wetting characteristics, and bead contour; little splatter".
On alum, copper, magnesium, nickel, and their alloys an Argon + Helium mix is preferred on thicker sheet material (over 1/8").
In spray transfer, a 35% Argon + 65% Helium mix isrecommended for aluminum plate 1"-3" thick (because of higher heat output).
For plate over 3" a 25% Argon + 75% Helium mix is recommended.
Looks like an Argon + Helium mix is also recommended for some Copper, Nickel and their alloy applications.
At the present time, Helium is in short supply in the US. I think it would be used more except for the cost.
Hope this helps.
How do you plan to mix your gases. Best way, of course, is with something like the Smith Proportional mixer. If not, you're sorta just shooting in the dark regarding proportions.

If you need to mix gases PM me. I regularly mix He for diving and transfill argon for dive suit inflation and can probably get you close with partial pressure mixing. Not to hard but you will need certain fill adapters, special fittings for Hp gas, etc. I can tell you where to get these thru an approved military supplier if needed.

thanks for the info guys the reson i ask is because we just got in a few bottles for my tig and i have a job for pit covers im making them out of alum dimond plate and the oic wants me to mig them for time but my spool gun is for my hobart welding trailer. i think its older then i am. so i dont know how well its going to work if it is going to work. my plan was to tig it for the practice. when i did try it i noticed that the the heat with he likes a lower freq then argon. what i mean is on 200 htz the arc took longer to stablize and the bead was taller then normal and the consistacy was harder to mantain. but at 50htz it was perfect. any thoughts?
and DSW i would love to know that because i have alot of small o2 bottles id like to fill for my mechanics. thanxweld to live live to ride
man i had a lot of fun in Stuttgart. i was with the 1/16 over there and 2/37 i think it was tankers. was way back when they first got the M-1's every thing was shiny and new.
had a house in Burblagin (who knows how to spell it??)loved the mas transit, always on time and you could get anywhere.
nice place, almost stayed when i got out.
keep in mind HE unlike argon, wants to rise. so ya need higher flow rates.thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. [email protected]
summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.
Yes you can use helium to mig weld well I think what we have at work is like helium argon and carbon dioxide mixxed I think which supposely the helium helps the weld hotter without turning the heat higher on the machine but don't hold me to this. I've got a question about Helium. I know to weld aluminum you need AC but I thought my old welding teacher told me once that you could weld aluminum with helium have any of you tried this? and it may have been on DC I 'm really not sure though
ChrisLast edited by chris2626; 03-07-2008, 09:00 PM.
I use a helium 97.5% argon 2.5% mix on s.s from 16 guage to 1" and it works nice , clean smooth and steady flow . i use it on the 10 to 16 guage m.s also welds about the same as the s.s, but on the thin ms my welder will key up to say 19 or 20 volts on the helishield, whereas to the same setting running co2 it pushes21 or 22, although i get almost twice the penetration on the helisheild which is nice charteristic of it on thin ms. i weld stuff that is constantly under a load or being torqued, and dont like it on thicker ms, as i beleive the arc is to soft, spray arc is nice with it but i like to really pour the heat and wire as the co2 lets the wire cut deep as your welding where the helium will burn your wire faster where in turnyour more app to undercut and not get adequete penetration if your welding 3/8 and half inch unbeveled. bevel the thicker stuff and run a bit cooler i imagine it would be a dream come truecompared to co2.
strait h and DC TIG can be used on thick aluminum. not shore the full details on it. but its doable.thanks for the help
hope i helped

"No problem!"
[a few minutes later]
"Here you go: one Dora cake!"
"Um, that's not really the same... and where are the toys?"
"What toys?"
"The toys that come with the Dora cake!"
"Oh, THOSE toys. Haha! I thought you were making a pun. I don't have those toys."
"Well, which toys do you have?"
"Er...Let's see...I have the ones for this cake:"
"Ok, that's fine. Just make me one of those, then."
"Okey dokey!"
"Here you go! As you can see, I included the toys!"
"But, that looks nothing like the picture! Look, I don't mean to complain, but all these delays are really putting me behind schedule, and the party is in an hour, and I have so much to do, and I just can't seem to get ahead!" [sob]
"Say no more, my good man! I will take care of everything.
"Here we go! See? I told you I'd take care of it!"
"Why? What's in the box?"
[sniffle] "Fine. I'll take it."

Tar Sands
In June 2010, we took a stand against Canada's fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions, the tar sands. Located in Northern Alberta, the tar sands supply the United States and Canada with fossil fuel and are rapidly expanding into the most environmentally destructive project on earth. At LUSH, we believe that protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility, and investing our economy in a finite resource is simply not a sustainable option for future generations. To symbolize all we have to lose by investing in the tar sands, our shop staff donned nothing but fake oil barrels and rallied our customers to sign a petition asking Prime Minister Harper to invest in green energy solutions. We created a limited edition Bath Bomb called Wild Rose, also Alberta's provincial flower, 100% of the proceeds from which were donated to our campaign partners, Rainforest Action Network.
Our Partners
Rainforest Action Network campaigns for the forests, their inhabitants and the natural systems that sustain life by transforming the global marketplace through education, grassroots organizing and non-violent direct action. To learn more, visit: www.ran.org

You bought a whole bunch of Wild Roses for Rainforest Action Network! $42,000 worth, in fact. We also signed Dogwood Initiative to our Charity Pot program during the campaign and were able to make a donation of $10,000 through your purchase of Charity Pot. 24,015 petition signatures for Prime Minister Harper were collected in just a two-week campaign!

Secretary Duncan Begins Listening and Learning Tour in West Virginia
West Virginia was the first stop on Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's 15-state tour to listen to what students, teachers, and parents have to say about quality education. On May 5, 2009, the Secretary visited an elementary school, a middle school, and a community college in Berkeley County. The conversation at Blue Ridge Community and Technical College included hearing from a soldier who was a student there. He stated that he attended community college because of the flexibility it offered him as a military person. To learn more, go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2009/05/05052009.html and http://www.ed.gov/news/av/video/2009/05/wv-tour.html.
Secretary Urges National Moment of Remembrance
Secretary Duncan posted a letter from the White House Commission on Remembrance on www.ed.gov to reinforce the National Moment of Remembrance that has been established by Congress. The White House Commission called upon schools to pause for five minutes on Memorial Day, May 31st, at 3:00 P.M. to encourage students across the country to recall the service to our country of the soldiers who have sacrificed for our nation.
First Lady and Army General Tour DC High Schools
First Lady Michelle Obama met with students at Anacostia High School in the southeast section of the capital city. Washington DC's Anacostia High School is predominantly African-American and lower-income, and Mrs. Obama stressed, much like her own origins. The visit on March 19, 2009, which included knee slaps and hugs for students from the famous guest, was part of a tour she organized for DC-area public schools in honor of Women's History Month.

OCR gave information on the rights of veterans with disabilities to access postsecondary education. OCR representatives responded to questions from the officers and provided Department- approved resource materials. The conference offered a comprehensive training program to prepare the officers to assist service men and women who will be returning from deployment in combat areas. With this outreach initiative, OCR has developed significant contacts within Veterans Affairs (VA). OCR and the VA are collaborating on a future presentation to be delivered directly to returning veterans with disabilities.
Joint Conference Held with the Department of Defense, the National Institutes of Health, and Veterans Affairs
The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) co-hosted with DOD, NIH and the VA, an invitation-only conference titled, "Advancing Integrated Research in Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Common Data Elements" from March 23 - 24, 2009 in Silver Spring, MD. Over 100 TBI and Public Health experts gathered to report on their workgroups' efforts over the last months. This initiative will result in white paper recommendations to the nation regarding common data elements for inclusion in clinical trials, registries, and other research initiatives. OSERS staff member, Cate Miller, participated, both as a speaker and a moderator.
Expert Panel Reviews Findings on Transition Research
An expert panel reviewed preliminary findings from the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Project (DRRP) on Vocational Rehabilitation funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, April 8-9, 2009, at Mississippi State University in Starkville, MS. The panel included a multi-disciplinary team of DRRP project staff, national experts in transition, consumers, and government representatives. Participants reviewed findings from three ongoing research initiatives that concentrate on literature reviews, longitudinal studies, and data collection from focus groups.
ED and DoD Representatives Testify Before Congressional Subcommittee
Representatives from DoD, ED, Federal Reserve, OPM and the GAO testified before the Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management, the Federal Workforce and the District of Columbia on April 29, 2009. The hearing examined the effectiveness of federal financial education programs and how they work for the military. Arthur Myers, Acting Deputy Under Secretary of Defense in the Office of Military Community and Family Policy testified on behalf of DoD. Also testifying was James Shelton, Assistant Deputy Secretary, US Dept of Education, Office of Innovation and Improvement. ED has a partnership with the Financial Literacy and Education Commission (FLEC) to increase financial literacy. Through FLEC, DoD has developed and implemented a Financial Readiness Campaign for its military constituents. To increase financial education efforts, DoD continues to seek active participation with FLEC and its members, one of which is ED.

ED Participates in the 2009 Advisory Council for Dependents' Education
The Advisory Council for Dependents´ Education (ACDE) met in Wiesbaden, Germany, April 27 – May 1, to begin a week-long visit to six Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools. The ACDE has 16 Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Education members. Members from ED included Eric Waldo, Special Assistant to the Secretary of Education, who was the Secretary of Education's Designee and co–chair of the ACDE, Francis A. Finelli, Managing Director of The Carlyle Group and Charles Boyer, Special Advisor for Military Families. DoD staff included Dr. Shirley A. Miles, Executive Secretary and Director of DoDEA and Kathy Facon, Chief of Educational Partnerships Branch. The Council meets twice a year. One business meeting is held in the Washington, DC area and the other is held in conjunction with school visits in the Pacific or European Areas. The Council's function is to provide advice and recommendations to the Director of DoDEA about general policies with respect to curriculum selection, administration, and operation of the system. The Council also provides information from other federal agencies concerned with K–12 education and may perform other tasks as required by the Secretary of Defense. The ACDE cited many commendations of the DoDEA schools, including strong support for students during military deployments, open communications with parents and community members, and a learning culture that incorporates research–based best practices. These schools exemplify DoDEA's mission to inspire and prepare all military–connected students for success in a dynamic and global environment.
ED Participates in DoD Air Show
On May 14-17, 2009 ED staff exhibited at the 2009 Joint Services Open House and Air Show at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. Staff distributed publications and other resources to military families, service men and women, students, teachers and others attending the air show. The general public was able to see what the United States Armed Forces are doing to protect their rights and freedom, to learn more about the military services and honor their work. For more information about the air show, go to http://www.jsoh.org/index.html
DoD and ED Join Forces to Ensure Compliance
The Higher Education Opportunity Act, H.R. 4137, Section 114 mandates that all states receiving federal money from ED provide in-state tuition (and continuance) starting July 2009 to service members and their families. DoD has requested ED to make sure states are in compliance. States are to allow in-state tuition for service members and their families where assigned, and to continue these rates for students following the reassignment and departure of their military parent(s).
Schools and College Campuses Apply for BRAC Properties
ED continues to play an important role under BRAC in assisting colleges, universities, public and private schools, and eligible nonprofit organizations with acquisition and development of former federal government property of up to 100 percent Public Benefit Allowance discounts through its Federal Real Property Assistance Program. ED is working with Army, Navy, and Air Force communities across the nation on numerous Public Benefit property conveyances. All properties are to be disposed of by the statutorily mandated date of September 2011. The following Public Benefit applications have been approved by ED with the goal of revitalizing the Brunswick, Maine area upon closure of the Naval Air Station:
- four from Bowdoin College to acquire one building and approximately 186 acres to expand its campus by constructing new academic buildings and dormitories and using some of the unimproved land as an outdoor environmental laboratory;
- one from a nonprofit organization, Family Focus, to acquire two buildings for early childhood learning centers for birth to pre-k levels;
- one from Southern Maine Community College to establish a Brunswick campus including dormitory space; and

DoD Hosts Education Summit
On May 20, 2009 at Fort Benning, GA DoD hosted the Chattahoochee Valley Education Summit, a one-day meeting that addressed many important issues impacting military families, their children and the communities where they live. It focused on the needs of transitioning military students and the expected increases in student populations due to Base Realignment and Closure. Fort Benning is experiencing an unprecedented growth surge due to the expected relocation of Fort Knox military personnel and families to the area. This summit followed Georgia Gov. Perdue's visit to Columbus for the signing of Senate Bill 114 to help ease school transitions for military children. The Fort Benning Command Group, educators, community leaders, stakeholders and representatives from the Georgia State Department of Education shared information relating to BRAC and the challenges inherent to that process. Kathy Facon, Chief of DoDEA's Educational Partnership attended the summit and provided information on the partnership's initiatives.
DoD Forum Focuses on Military Children
DoDEA's Educational Partnerships Branch participated in a forum that focused on education for military children. The conference was hosted by Marine Corps Installations West and Navy Region Southwest and sponsored by the Military Child Education Coalition. The K-12 Joint Education Forum, which was held May 28, 2009 at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, brought installation commanders, military leadership, and school superintendents together with military service providers and other leaders in education. The group examined issues and solutions related to the impact of the current school budget crisis and discussed the unique needs of military youth and how to build successful partnerships that would provide needed services wherever children of military families attend school. Kathy Facon, Chief of Educational Partnerships Branch, participated in a panel of military services and outlined the ongoing efforts of DoDEA's Educational Partnership. Dr. Jean Silvernail, director of the PACOM Education Division was the keynote speaker along with several senior leaders from the Marine Corps and Navy.
DoD Boosts STEM Program for K-12
DoD and U.S. military services are intent on boosting K-12 students' interest and achievement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). To meet the challenge, The National Defense Education Program (NDEP) sponsored a conference June 2, 2009 on collaboration in STEM education. At the K-12 level, NDEP emphasizes hands-on learning experiences and encourages teachers and students of all ages to "learn by doing" with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Learning Modules. This can mean help with professional and curriculum development for teachers, classroom visits by scientists and engineers, hands-on learning for students at well-equipped military labs and installations, student contests, and an expanding Web-based archive of classroom material. DoDEA was invited to participate on a panel to share partnership initiatives between DoD STEM professionals and K-12 Education. To learn more and find out if one of these programs is available in your area, go to the NDEP website at http://www.ndep.us/ and click on Teachers.

For Your Information
Washington State Adopts Bill to Enact Interstate Compact
On May 7, 2009, Governor Chris Gregoire signed legislation that makes the process of transferring schools easier for military families. Washington now joins 20 other states that have taken steps to help military families achieve better educational continuity when transferring between school districts and states. The bill will enact the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children, intended to remove barriers to educational success imposed on children of military families because of frequent moves and deployment of their parents. The Compact and the corresponding changes in law would only apply to children from military families in transition.

As the child sex abuse scandal that has rocked the Miramonte Elementary School and the Los Angeles Unified School District expands, a dramatic push for accountability is just beginning to take off.
Three suits involving 23 Miramonte students have been filed in Los Angeles Superior Court so far, and according to a spokesman for the law firm handling them, "that number will go up to eight or nine by the end of next week."
While only two men have been arrested and charged so far in the Miramonte scandal, experts say statistics collected from previous pedophile cases suggest the number of alleged instances of abuse, and lawsuits, could rise far further.
But as the estimated cost to the school district of handling the fallout from the abuse allegations escalates the question arises, who can and should be held liable when a teacher breaches the public trust?
The cases that have been filed so far target both the individual teachers as well as the school district, which, according to a spokesman, has no comment.
[ Video is no longer available. ]
"We believe it is very dangerous to place blame for child sexual abuse on anyone or any group other than the perpetrator of the crime," says Jolie Logan, CEO of Darkness to Light, a national nonprofit dedicated to the prevention of child sexual abuse.
Still, she notes, cases such as this one "provide an opportunity for all of us to consider our roles. It is time to closely examine what could have been done differently, what warning signs may have been missed and what policies should now be adopted and enforced to keep kids safe."
But California, unlike more restrictive states such as Texas, allows individuals to sue school districts, points out Pace Law School professor Emily Gold Waldman, who is chair of the Association of American Law Schools Section on Education Law.
For the suits to go forward, "they must have some sort of theory such as negligence," she says, but there is nothing preventing the plaintiffs from attempting to assign liability to anyone such as a principal or anyone else in a supervisory position. She notes that California law has stated that school districts must "take reasonable steps to protect its students."
The current claims involve alleged abuse that took place between 2005 and 2010. However, additional victims, some dating back to 1994, are emerging to buttress the current abuse cases. This week, police obtained 200 more photographs revealing "inappropriate" actions by one of the two teachers that have been arrested, bringing the total to some 600 so far.
New Jersey attorney Gregory Gianforcaro, who was abused by a community priest when he was a child, has litigated more than 200 child sexual abuse cases and says it's hard to hear about cases such as this.
"This guy has been teaching there for 32 years," he says, referring to one of the two teachers. While he respects the swift and dramatic action taken by the district this week when it replaced the entire elementary school staff, he says, "where were they for the last 32 years?"
Mr. Gianforcaro notes that statistics on pedophile behavior point to multiple offenses as the norm. "Statistics show that most pedophiles abuse an average of 117 children," he says.
Even if the suits proceed, it is highly likely that they will result in a settlement rather than going to court, says criminal defense attorney Christopher Leibig.
"These cases are very hard to prove," he notes, because plaintiffs must show that there were reasonable grounds to believe that a supervisor knew what was going on or had acted in a negligent manner when told. School districts are highly motivated to keep these cases out of court because they do not want an open season on what it might have done wrong in the past. "They do not want the dirty laundry airing in a public court," he says, adding "it is good public relations for the district to settle and it will bring money to the plaintiff."
Nonetheless, says Gianforcaro, schools across the country should take this as a wake-up call. "Penn State, Syracuse, and now this case are just the tip of the iceberg," he says, adding, "we have only just begun to tackle this issue."
The courts may determine financial liability, but society and parents already have clear expectations of schools, says Brooklyn Law School professor Lisa Smith. The expectation of parents, students and society is that educational institutions teach, supervise, and can be entrusted with the care of young people.
"That basic belief means that when sexual abuse occurs in an institution everyone expects a thorough investigation of how this happened, who knew, what were the signs and who should have known," she says via email, adding that "it is the responsibility of every member of the staff – up to and including the principals, deans and others, to protect the young people with whom they are working."

OK Orioles fans are you getting excited yet?
Our birds are sitting atop the division with a 14-8 record heading into a six game road trip where they will have a chance to firmly stake their claim atop the AL East against division rivals New York and Boston.
This past week showcased a lot of good baseball that the Orioles are capable of playing all year. During the six game home stand the Os compiled a 5-1 record, sweeping the Toronto Blue Jays and taking the final 2 of 3 from the Oakland Athletics. I was in attendance for the final two games of the home stand and can testify from first hand experience that the magic is coming back.
Those who watched or attended the Saturday night game against the A's got to experience a great moment in Oriole baseball history when the first of six commemorative statues was unveiled in honor of Frank Robinson. Despite the less than perfect weather a large amount of Oriole faithful came out to the yard to show respect for the legend himself and man were we rewarded. Maybe it was the fact that Frank was in attendance but something possessed our players that game as they quickly humped out to a 6-0 lead by the third inning. Wei-Yin Chen was on fire the whole night, going 7 strong while allowing only 1 run on a solo homer to Johnny Gomes. The Orioles wouldn't let up on offense as they walked away 10-1 winners on the night; what an awesome way to wrap up a day in honor of one of the greatest Orioles of all time.
Sunday displayed a completely different type of win. Big Game Hunter was on the mound and a crowd of 31,000 were present in hopes of seeing their team take the series before heading out on a week long road trip. Despite trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the ninth I noticed that virtually no one had left the stadium. I was somewhat surprised as in my experience if this team is down 2 or more with 3 innings to play you start to notice fans calling it quits early and heading for the exits.
Not Sunday.
No, it seemed like everyone almost had a gut feeling that they were gonna pull it out. Maybe it was too many fans drinking the Orange Kool-Aid amidst the great start on the season, or maybe it was the fact that fans wanted to prove their doubts right and see first hand that this team cant come through in the do or die moments.
Well they did, and my God was it awesome.
To see 31,000 fans all stand in unison yelling, clapping, banging on their seats in an effort to cheer on their team in hopes of a late inning comeback was something I have only dreamed of being in attendance for. When all seemed lost in the 9th down by two some "magical"things began to happen.
First Hardy reached on an infield single, giving us a small glimmer of hope as the tying run came to the plate. Next Nick Markakis would go down swinging almost deflating the crowd and any hopes of a win; but the fans kept cheering and we all kept believing that something amazing would happen. Bartolo Colon, who had held the Orioles in check the entire game suddenly made the one error that separates you from being a winner or a loser. In this case Colon would send a throw into the dirt allowing Adam Jones to reach on what should have been a routine play for an out, extending the Orioles for at least a moment.
At this point Matt Wieters was making his way to the plate. The crowd knew what was about to happen. The cheers grew louder as Grant Balfour, who had come into to preserve the win for the A's, left a pitch just a little to high in the zone for Matt Wieters who proceed to crush the ball all the way off the left field wall, clearing the bases and tying the game.
Oriole Magic?
As Endy Chavez came into the game as a pinch runner for Wieters my friend Timmy turns to me and says "you know Paulino is gonna have to come into catch now right?" I responded with "He wont need to catch".
I have never been so happy about being right in my life. After an intentional walk to Chris Davis, Wilson Betemit blasted a three run bomb off the top of the right center-field wall to end the game in a dramatic walkoff fashion while every fan in attendance went crazy and began celebrating with everyone around them.
This was an amazing sight to witness and hopefully this win foreshadowed a trend we can all get used to in Baltimore. I believe in this team (you're gonna get tired of me saying that but its true) and you should believe in them also. Seeing the Yard that full and that excited is something that Baltimore has been missing out on for too long now. I'm gonna keep going to games and keep on cheering I hope to see a lot of you there.
This team has found some magic. Lets hope its here to stay.

MELBOURNE, Australia — Andy Murray was sucking in deep breaths, trying to recover from his exhausting win over Roger Federer. Pain was very much on his mind.
The U.S. Open champion defeated Federer 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-2 in a four-hour Australian Open semifinal Friday night. It was Murray's first victory against the 17-time major winner at a Grand Slam event.
But with the clock about to strike midnight, Murray was already thinking about Sunday's final against two-time defending champion Novak Djokovic, who is on a 20-match winning streak at Melbourne Park. This will be a rematch of their U.S. Open final.
"Every time we play each other it's normally a very physical match," Murray said. "I'll need to be ready for the pain. I hope it's a painful match – that'll mean it's a good one."
Murray had a 10-9 record against Federer, but had lost his three previous Grand Slam matches to the Swiss star. One of those defeats came at Wimbledon last year. Murray says the disappointment of that loss triggered his run to the gold medal at the London Olympics, and then his drought-breaking triumph at the U.S. Open.
"You know, I've obviously lost some tough matches against him in Slams," Murray said. "So to win one, especially the way that it went tonight, yeah, was obviously nice."
Murray ended a 76-year drought for British men at the majors when he beat Djokovic in five sets in the final at Flushing Meadows.
He's hoping the step-by-step manner in which he has crossed career milestones off his to-do list will continue Sunday. He lost four major finals, including two in Australia, before winning a Grand Slam title. He lost three times to Federer in a major before beating him. Even then, he wasted a chance to serve out in the fourth set Friday night as Federer rallied.
"Those matches ... have helped obviously mentally," he said. "I think going through a lot of the losses that I've had will have helped me as well. Obviously having won against Novak before in a Slam final will help mentally."
Djokovic will not be the only defending champion this weekend playing for another title. Victoria Azarenka will face China's Li Na on Saturday night for the women's crown.
Azarenka hasn't added a major title since her breakthrough in Australia last year. She's coming off a semifinal victory over American teenager Sloane Stephens in which she had to answer a torrent of questions over her nine-minute medical timeout after wasting five match points and then dropping serve in the next-to-last game.
Li, who is seeded sixth, lost the 2011 Australian final before claiming her first major title months later at the French Open. She made the final with less commotion, beating No. 2 Maria Sharapova in straight sets.
The first title of the 2013 Australian Open, women's doubles, was decided Friday when top-seeded Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci of Italy beat unseeded Australians Ashleigh Barty and Casey Dellacqua 6-2, 3-6, 6-2.
That was a prelude to the night match, where 15,000 people packed Rod Laver Arena, including the great Laver himself, to see if Federer could reach a sixth Australian final. The 31-year-old Swiss has won four of his 17 titles at Melbourne Park.
He showed flashes of his customary genius, but also rare bursts of anger. Murray showed his frustration as well. The crowd started to turn on him after he challenged a call in the eighth game of the fourth set, booing each time he complained to the umpire. His unforced error into the net on the next point prompted a huge cheer.
In the 12th game of the fourth set, Federer appeared to yell across the net after Murray stopped momentarily behind the baseline during the rally.
Murray shrugged it off and seemed to dig in. He'd won that point but lost the game and was taken to another tiebreaker, which he lost.
"We were just checking each other out for bit," Federer said. "That wasn't a big deal for me – I hope not for him."
Murray said "stuff like that happens daily in tennis," and added that it was "very, very mild in comparison to what happens in other sports."
When Federer got break point with Murray serving for the match at 6-5, the applause was so prolonged Murray had to wait to serve. And when Federer got the break to force a tiebreaker, the crowd stood and roared as Murray slammed a ball into the court in anger.
The crowd cheered for every Murray error in tiebreaker. One man yelled, "Andy, don't choke."
He didn't. Rather than wilting under the pressure in the fifth set, Murray hit his stride. He allowed Federer only four points in the first three games of the fifth set, bolting to a 3-0 lead and carrying it through to the end.
"It's big. I never beat Roger in a Slam before. It definitely will help with the confidence," Murray said. "Just knowing you can win against those guys in big matches definitely helps."
Federer could see improvement in Murray's approach in the tough situations.
"With the win at the Olympics and the U.S. Open, maybe there's just a little bit more belief," Federer said. "Or he's a bit more calm overall."
Djokovic already owns three Australian titles and is aiming to be the first man in the Open era to win three in a row. The 25-year-old Serb was nearly flawless in his 89-minute disposal of No. 4-ranked David Ferrer in Thursday night's semifinal, and said he was hoping Murray and Federer would go to five sets.
"Obviously, Novak goes in as the favorite, I would think, even though Andy beat him at the U.S. Open," Federer said. "Novak is the double defending champion here. He's done really well again this tournament. Obviously a tough match again, and give a slight edge to Novak just because of the last couple of days."

This romantic-comedy about getting one last shot at love benefits immensely from the first-time pairing of Diane Keaton and Michael Douglas.
And So It Goes," a romantic-comedy about getting one last shot at love, benefits immensely from the first-time pairing of Diane Keaton and Michael Douglas. But the most alluring thing about it might be the toupee director Rob Reiner dons in a supporting role. You could say it's the (hair) piece de la resistance.
The movie, unfortunately, isn't as well-coiffed. Sharing DNA with "It's Complicated," "Something's Gotta Give," and the vastly superior "Enough Said," Reiner's film explores well-tread ageist territory. Says one character: "The last time I had sex, I tore my ACL." Ha ha! Is this really the guy who directed "When Harry Met Sally," the gold standard of rom-coms? It seems light years from "And So It Goes," yet another pat picture about the hostile mating dance between two adversaries – except the leads are AARP eligible.
Douglas is Oren, a petulant and crass real estate agent who wears pink argyle sox and seersucker suits. A widower, he has a strained relationship with his unscrupulous son (Scott Shepherd). He shoots paintballs at the dog defecating on the manicured lawn of the mansion he's trying to sell. At his beachside dwelling, Little Shangri-La, Oren won't even share the driveway with a pregnant neighbor (Yaya DaCosta). Everyone in their small Connecticut town hates him, especially his next-door neighbor Leah, played with sass by Keaton. See where this is going?
Leah and Oren woo each other with insults. She calls him "heartless" and tells him he needs compassion. He calls her a cry-baby because she's unable to make it through her lounge act at the Oaks Bistro without shedding a tear over her late husband.
Oren's plan is to make one last multi-million-dollar deal and head for Vermont. Life, as it tends to happen, throws him a curve in the form of his 9-year-old granddaughter, Sarah (Sterling Jerins). She's thrust upon him when his son is sent to prison. Guess who helps gramps mind the child?
Frances Sternhagen (Reiner's "Misery") lends support as Oren's feisty co-worker. "You think you invented men being a**holes?" she quips to Oren after he botches an interlude with Leah.
Meanwhile, Leah and Sarah take on a summer project to film the metamorphosis of a pet caterpillar. It's one of those heavy-handed metaphors. That insect isn't the only one transforming. By the end, more than one character gets their predictable comeuppance. And a cameo from "Jersey Boy" himself, Frankie Valli, feels gratuitous.
The script by Oscar-nominee Mark Andrus ("As Good As It Gets") is as dull as the film's title. When the movie tries to be something it's not, a graceless tonal shift lurches the story from breezy romantic-comedy to sequences set in a drug den and prison. Those scenes seem like bits from different movies.
For their parts, Keaton and Douglas show why their total pros, able to prop up an unremarkable story and make it watchable, just not interesting.

Would this be plausible for a metamorphic virus? When a new generation (for lack of better word) is created it would hard code a random file name, that would be checked to see if the system was infected, that the old generation would create. Example
- absolute path to file named aabb.txt is hard coded into first generation
- checks to see if file exists
- if exists that means current system has been infected, goto END
- if does not exist this means it's on a new system
- uses metamorphic engine to rewrite itself and hard codes a randomly named file that will be used to tell if system is infected e.g. tk12.txt
- creates the file e.g. tk12.txt
- runs new generation
- deletes itself (old generation)
So it's incorrect to call this random file a mutex because it's not a system object?

Gothmog (Lieutenant of Morgul)
Gothmog was a lieutenant of Minas Morgul, second-in-command to the Witch-king of Angmar, lord of the Nazgûl, at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, at which he commanded the forces of Morgul after the Lord of the Nazgûl was slain by Éowyn.
(See also Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs)
|By Ardamir. (Help; more articles)
The Books
The information given above is the only reference in "The Lord of the Rings" to Gothmog, and his fate is not recorded, although it is strongly implied that he and almost all of the servants of Sauron that fought before the gates of Minas Tirith were destroyed.
Almost nothing is known of Gothmog, not even what type of beings he was. Tolkienists speculate that he might have been one of the Nazgûl, an Orc or a Man (in which case he was probably a Black Númenórean like the Mouth of Sauron, the Lieutenant of the Tower of Barad-dûr). Since Tolkien never specifically refers to Gothmog as a Nazgûl, something that would be of prime importance to the story, it is less likely that Gothmog was a Ringwraith. The possibility, however, is still a valid one. It is also possible that he was in fact a Boldog (a fallen Maia in Orc form).
Gothmog shared his name with a much earlier character, Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs. The original Gothmog was clearly a different character than the Gothmog of The Lord of the Rings despite having shared the same name. It would seem that the Gothmog of the Third Age had taken, or been given, the name in memory of Morgoth's captain; an interesting choice, since Sauron and the Lord of Balrogs were presumably rivals for Morgoth's favor during the Elder Days.
The Films
In Peter Jackson's The Return of the King film, Gothmog is portrayed as an Orc with a misshapen face, and is played by Lawrence Makoare, a New Zealand actor. Peter Jackson wanted to, for the first time in the trilogy, show a hideously deformed orc, one that would aptly convey the "ugliness" of Mordor. The upper right side of Gothmog's body is swollen and pock-marked from a disease of some sort, as described by the design department. His pale, yellow skin may also be a consequence of this illness. Gothmog's intelligence is far above that of the common orc and he, understandably, would be the perfect link between the Witch-King and the other planners of the siege of Minas Tirith (most likely men in Sauron's service) and the mindless mass of orc infantry on the front lines. While Gothmog likely did not have the intelligence to design the attack on the White City he certainly would have been able to ensure orders were carried out. Gothmog is clearly a brutal commander, but also an over-confident one. Peter Jackson comments that Gothmog feels powerful with Mordor's massive army behind him, but in reality is a crippled orc, as seen in his failed dismount from a Warg in Scene 36: The Siege of Gondor. Gothmog does, however, seem to be a capable warrior, though somewhat inhibited by his crippled right side.
It is not necessary to assume that Gothmog was THE lieutenant of Minas Morgul. He may have been one of several, but perhaps the only one present on the Pelennor. What is clear is that he was second-in-command at Pelennor. In the film, Gothmog begins his campaign by leading a fleet of rafts, carrying Morgul orcs, across the River Anduin towards the west side of Osgiliath. Gothmog's orcs easily conquer Osgiliath, where Gothmog kills Madril, Faramir's second-in-command. Gothmog halts the attack to await orders from the Witch-King. The Witch-King soon arrives and orders the beginning of the attack. Gothmog leads his legions towards Minas Tirith atop his Warg. He orders catapults fired, bearing the heads of fallen Gondorians and heavy boulders. The Gondorians fire trebuchets in return, bearing heavy pieces of masonry. One piece nearly hits proud Gothmog, who steps aside just in time, proving his prowess in survival. When Gothmog orders an attack on the Great Gate of Minas Tirith, his orcs suffer incredible casualties to the Gondorian archers above. He orders the "Wolf's Head", Grond brought forward. After Grond breaks down the city gates, Gothmog orders his orcs to move into the city, killing any and all in their path. The orcs take over the city's first level and begin taking the upper levels when the Rohirrim arrive, at the command of King Théoden. At this point Gothmog is caught entirely off guard but, being the able commander that he is, takes charge like no other orc would be able to. He orders his northern ranks of orcs to turn and face the Rohirrim, with pikesmen in front and archers behind. The Rohirrim charge and the orcs are helpless, run over by the ferocity of the Riders of Rohan. For the first time, Gothmog comes close to death.Once the Rohirrim has broken through the orc legions, chaos ensues. Gothmog calls the reserves of Easterlings, Variags of Khand,
- In the film, Gothmog calls in the reserves after the Rohirrim's charge, but before the death of the Witch-King.
Southrons and Haradrim in from Osgiliath. In the midst of the chaos, Gothmog is forced into hand-to-hand combat. He sees a pocket of particularly stiff resistance, primarily from Théoden and Eowyn, and decides to take on Eowyn. She is a more skilled figher than he, however, and soon injurs him on his crippled leg, rendering him essentially unable to walk and useless Mordor's army as a whole. Gothmog's confidence and ambitions have been destroyed. After Eowyn has killed the Witch-King, in an act of revenge, Gothmog attempts to kill her with a mace he finds nearby. He is, however, killed in the nick of time by Aragorn and Gimli. As he is about to strike, Aragorn cuts off his armored arm but Gothmog persists and Gimli hits him in the abdomen with his axe. Aragorn must turn again and cut through Gothmog's armor on his left side with his sword to finally bring the orc down.
- Gothmog's hand-to-hand combat takes place only in the extended cut of the film.
Gothmog belongs to a subset of orcs bred and trained in Mordor that are larger and more intelligent that most others, the orcs typically referred to as "uber-orcs". Like the majority of this orcs, Gothmog wears a distinctive, mass produced type of spiked, plate iron armor. He carries a typical orc sword at his side and seemingly prefers to ride on Wargs.
From a brief still at the moment of Gothmog's death, one can see a distinctive type of footwear being worn by the orc commander. Perhaps a new piece of equipment utilized by the uber-orcs of Mordor, these flaps, covering the soles of the foot, are ridged, presumably to give better friction and aid in long marches or extended battles. The flaps are covered, in the case of Gothmog, with a perimeter of fabric, extended from the leggings.

Breeding a Sustainable Agriculture
Experiments under way around the planet are leading to techniques and crop varieties good for the long term. Now,about those subsidies...
Author Wes Jackson warned us 20 years ago we're not getting any smarter. Critiquing modern farming in his book Altars of Unhewn Stone, he showed us how, in this age of overwhelming information,we're actually losing wisdom. So distracted are we with our own cleverness, we don't see that with every inch of topsoil that erodes,with every liter of water that's fouled,with every farmer who leaves the land, we're losing nature's wisdom, the kind we need if we are to survive.
If you don't find Jackson's warning alarming, consider this: he wrote it in 1987, before the Internet. Already we were distracted by the wrong kind of information? And this was before spam? Pop-ups?
Jackson, for one, has fortunately not spent these years clicking on celebrity trivia ads. Instead he's been making good on a promise he made in Altars: to devise a better way to grow food. Even though the current agricultural model renders higher yields than ever before, this productivity comes at a prodigious price. Jackson would like a system that can feed us well into the future without destroying, depleting, or contaminating its raw materials.

The Way Forward for Renewable Energy in Central America | Costa Rica
On September 3, The Worldwatch Institute and the INCAE Business School's Latin American Center for Competitiveness and Sustainable Development (CLACDS), with support from the Climate Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and the Energy and Environment Partnership with Central America (EEP), will host the workshop "The Way Forward for Renewable Energy in Central America" in Alajuela, Costa Rica.
Taking place the day before the Latin American Energy Organization's annual Latin America and Caribbean Electricity Symposium, the workshop will take the form of a participative dialogue to promote the exchange of ideas and experiences between a select group of experts, industry delegates and government representatives of each Central American country.
During the workshop, initial findings of an ongoing Worldwatch-CLACDS Project will be presented and discussed. The ultimate goal of this project, as well as this stakeholder consultation is the design of a technical, socio-economic and political roadmap defining concrete steps toward rapidly expanding the adoption of renewable energy technologies in Central America. Experts from a range of renewable energy professions will present best practice case studies and how to replicate such examples. Individual contributions will be discussed in break-out groups or 'action labs' during the workshop. Involvement in the project will extend beyond the workshop itself through ongoing participation in the project's future events as well as a moderated online forum, forming a community of experts committed to advance renewable energy in Central America.
For further information, please contact the project's manager, Adam Dolezal: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was by far the most rewarding spiritual journey of my life.
Throughout my life, even before joining the Church, I always tried to hold high standards, and above all I wanted to keep my integrity pure and stay true to myself. As a teenager, I often felt alone and disillusioned by the fact that I seemed to be part of a small minority who strove for purity and high moral standards.
For instance, when I did not reciprocate the interest some boys showed me, some people I knew were dismayed. They told me I should have gone on a date with those boys simply to be able to tell people I was dating someone. (Of course, it was understood that "dating" meant something much more serious than going out for ice cream.) Regarding one boy, a girl I knew said, "He's a drummer and looks like a surfer, so why wouldn't you want to date him?" These arguments didn't resonate with me, and I withstood these temptations. I do not regret my decisions, but it was often a difficult and lonely path.
However, in some respects, I treasure these experiences, because they caused me to inquire into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to find others with standards that were aligned with mine.
I was somewhat familiar with the Church and its teachings because my family had met with missionaries when I was six years old. Ten years later, during the time I was struggling with my peers' challenges to my personal standards, my mother happened to go to mormon.org and ask for the missionaries to visit again. I decided I needed to look into the Church again, too.
When I learned about basic aspects of the Church, through my prayers the Spirit revealed to me that the teachings are true.
I appreciated how the members and missionaries were so welcoming and willing to answer my questions, such as why the Holy Ghost is a gift and how families can be sealed for eternity. And when I learned about basic aspects of the Church, such as the fact that we were all spirit children of God and that there are modern-day prophets, through my prayers the Spirit revealed to me that the teachings are true.
When I first attended a Latter-day Saint ward, I felt a sensation of joy and pure energy I had never experienced before. Peace and contentment flowed through me as I soaked in the loving atmosphere and listened to heartfelt testimonies. Everyone radiated happiness, and their giving spirits touched me. I later found out that these feelings came from the Holy Ghost.
However, the first time I strongly felt the Holy Ghost's guidance was when I was reading the pamphlet titled The Testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith. I could identify somewhat with Joseph Smith's confusion, and I saw pure truth in the statement: "They teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof" (Joseph Smith—History 1:19).
Joseph's story penetrated so deeply into my core that I felt a burning sensation in my chest and began to cry. At that moment, I knew with all my heart that this is the one true Church. After reading the pamphlet, I told my mother, "I know it is true. I am ready now."
Ultimately, my experience with the Joseph Smith pamphlet was the catalyst for my baptism and confirmation—and much more. My mother and I were baptized in March 2009, my father was baptized two months later, and we were all sealed in the temple just over a year later. Every day, I am grateful that I converted to the Church. The Holy Ghost has been a constant, loving companion to me, and He has influenced my life in both major and more mundane ways, as well as in ways I was not even aware of at the time.
In fact, I once received a strong impression from the Holy Ghost that a friend needed comfort, so I spent more time with her and gave her short notes telling her how much she meant to me. A couple of days later, she found out that she had been rejected from the college she had applied to, and I was better able to comfort her in her disappointment.
I now live surrounded by people with high standards who share my views about the true importance of loving relationships, and I look forward to one day being married in the temple and sealed for eternity. Converting to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has enhanced and given new meaning to my life. I keep the Joseph Smith pamphlet with me even today, because every time I read it, I am filled with joy about God's gift of truth to me.
