Meet Billy Howle. Young Actor on the Prowl
Who is this handsome newcomer Billy Howle, you might be asking? And why is he in two new films opening this month opposite Saoirse Ronan?
"On Chesil Beach" is the compelling new film based on Ian McEwan's best selling novel (adapted by the author) and directed by the four-time Olivier Award-winning stage director Dominic Cooke. The bittersweet story, set in the summer of 1962, follows conservative, well-to-do Florence (Ronan) who meets and falls for lower-middle-class Edward (Howle), who cares for his brain-damaged mom (Anne-Marie Duff). Both are on the cusp of adulthood and decide to marry. On their wedding night it becomes apparent that neither know very much about sex. He's anxious and excited about it. She dreads it.
The film is a heartbreaking commentary on repression and miscommunication. It also comments on the societal morays and protocols that were still in place in Britain in the early '60s but were about to be shattered by the sexual revolution.
"Chesil" was filmed in 2016 but is finally being released here this week (it had a November 2017 release in the U.K.).
One year earlier, Howle and Ronan would meet filming Tony-winner Michael Mayer's version of Chekhov's classic, "The Seagull" (penned by playwright Stephen Karam) playing troubled lovers Konstantin and Nina. The film features a glorious Annette Bening as Irina, with Howle more than holding his own as her tormented son.
"The Seagull" was finally released last week, after a TriBeCa Film Festival run last month. So you can catch a double dose of this sexy leading man at your cineplex.
Howle is no stranger to U.K. audiences, having appeared in quite a number of BBC shows including the recent adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Witness for the Prosecution," with Kim Cattrall.
His numerous stage credits include the Olivier Award-winning "Ghosts" as well as playing young Edmund Tyrone in Eugene O'Neill's "Long Days Journey Into Night," opposite Jeremy Irons and Lesley Manville at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre.
He previously appeared onscreen as the younger Jim Broadbent in "The Sense of an Ending" starring Charlotte Rampling and Michelle Dockery and had a small role in Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk."
EDGE had a chat with Howle on the eve of the release of "The Seagull" and "On Chesil Beach."
Intimate matters
EDGE: Edward (in "Chesil") is such a richly complex character. What drew you to want to play him?
Billy Howle: I'm always drawn to complex characters. It's a real challenge. What I liked about Edward, having read the novella and then, the of course, the screenplay, was this idea of an internal struggle, this very dark facet to his personality. And then a much lighter and humorous side to him, which hopefully comes across in the story... I always like trying to find potentially comic moments in tragic circumstances.
EDGE: Did you have much rehearsal time?
Billy Howle: We did. It was quite an involved rehearsal period... We worked on the text quite a lot. And also had involved discussions about that particular period in British history, it being the early 1960s because it's not the 1960s as most people would understand it. It's a very particular period of history... it being post-war, almost as archaic as Victorian values being traditional still, particularly things like courtship, wooing, asking the father of the bride to be for her hand in marriage, etc.
Editor's note: Spoiler Alert on the following question and answer.
EDGE: That's the crux of the tragedy, because of the precise era it takes place, there was this inability to communicate about intimate matters. Do you think Florence and Edward would have had a better shot had they come of age in the late '60s instead of the early '60s?
Billy Howle: Yeah! Even maybe just a few more years. If they just waited a little while longer perhaps things would have been very different... But what's really interesting and what brings that tragic element out in the narrative is that we can see through Edward's love of blues, R&B and the American crossing the pond thing bourgeoning, he's sort of growing up just a little bit too early. And you're absolutely right, had it been even just 1965 the relationship may have survived. It's clear to see that they love each other. Definitely.
Stage to screen
EDGE: Having started your career onstage, what is your process like and how does it differ in each medium?
Billy Howle: Obviously there are transferrable skills. My background was in theatre from when I was quite young, but having left drama school, which is now about five years ago, I quite quickly started landing roles in TV and then eventually film. This ("On Chesil Beach") was Dominic Cooke's first foray into filmmaking as it was mine. I made one feature length film before this. So we were on this journey, this exploration of learning, together which is great because it meant we could find things out at the same time. And that became not only the discovery of the characters, but actually the technical aspects of filmmaking itself.
EDGE: You worked with Saoirse Ronan twice onscreen now. You filmed "The Seagull" first, followed by "On Chesil Beach." Did you develop a shorthand by the time you shot "Chesil?"
Billy Howle: When you've worked with an actor before yes, of course, you do create a short hand, or your own language or understanding of how one another likes to work. And their specific needs in any circumstance in a scene, for instance. But I tried to come at it with fresh eyes the second time we worked together because I think sometimes prior knowledge of the way in which one another works can get in the way and be a hindrance... Florence and Edward, the characters we play in "On Chesil Beach," are two completely different people to Nina and Constantine in "The Seagull." So I always think to come at something with a sort of wonderment, almost like I'm a newborn baby and I've just learned to walk.
EDGE: Regarding the intimate scenes in "Chesil," they were difficult to watch so I can only imagine they were difficult to film.
Billy Howle: Yeah. And of course there are awkward aspects to that and I think that's true for most love or sex scenes in film, but I think the necessary requirements were all there. Saoirse and I had a real bond and complete trust with one another and that's really important. And so the awkwardness comes hopefully from a place of truth.
Playing Chekhov
EDGE: You shot "Dunkirk" recently. That must have been an experience.
Billy Howle: It was quite interesting. To be honest, I was only there for a short period of time. It was very rainy. (Laughs) It was the first time I'd stepped on a set of that scale. It was quite a large-scale operation. A lot of logistics going into it and I was just really interested in all the technical aspects of the filmmaking process and I learned quite a lot just from being there a short time.
EDGE: Michael Mayer's version of "The Seagull" was shot in 2015. Was Constantine your first major film role?
Billy Howle: Yeah. It was my first feature... We shot it in upstate New York in the height of summer. So as you can imagine it was very, very hot. (Laughs) It was a really interesting experience. It was on location in this mansion that overlooks a lake, a beautiful setting and perfect, obviously, for the requirements of the story.
EDGE: What was prep like to play the alienated Constantine? I'm assuming you were familiar with the piece.
Billy Howle: Yes. I knew the play quite well because I studied it at drama school. It's one of those roles some people can be quite precious about... it's a sought after role for lots of male actors and a tricky role to play and to realize. And I was a little rabbit-in-the-headlights perhaps, it being my first film. So it did feel like the pressure was on. But again I had an amazing cast around me, Annette Bening and Corey Stoll and Saoirse Ronan obviously. So I was in safe hands. And approaching that role, I had to forget that it was a Chekhov play because our blueprint was the screenplay, which in itself is a separate entity.
Career path
EDGE: You're almost like Jessica Chastain in the sense that at the start of her film career she had these films completed that were waiting to be released and now, seemingly out of nowhere, we're getting all this Billy Howle. How has that been for you?
Billy Howle: Yes, you never know when those things are going to happen. It's a really exciting time for me and I'm looking forward to whatever's next really. I feel they're both solid pieces of work I'm really proud to have been involved in.
EDGE: Looking forward, what what would be the ideal career path for you?
Billy Howle: This is always such a tricky question because I don't set my sights too far in the future because I don't find that that's necessarily helpful to me. You can set yourself up to fail if you look too far in the future. And I was taught from a young age not to get my hopes up!

Aaron Mclain 'Brings Down The House' With DigiTech® TimeBender Pedal, Entertaining Thousands of Fans With Studio-Quality Live Music
July 01, 2010
Renowned guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and producer, Aaron Mclain will rock the lead guitar for Beto Cuevas, opening for international superstars Sting, Enrique Iglesias and Nelly Furtado throughout Summer, 2010. Utilizing the DigiTech TimeBender Pedal, Mclain will bring a performance, worthy of an album sound, to thousands of screaming fans across the nation.
The TimeBender allows users to input the tempo of their delays, and patterns to be strummed and set to the repeats based on the desired rhythm. The pedal produces intelligent harmonies on the repeats and offers 10 delay types. The TimeBender also offers two tape delays, full-time modulation and a 20-second looper.
"The fans have heard the album; they've memorized every single note and expect to hear quality from the band," said Mclain. "With the TimeBender, I can give the fans the album-quality sound they anticipate, but I can also feel confident when I decide to change it up a little. The live mixes I can put together on stage make each show a unique experience."
A native of Los Angeles, CA, Mclain has performed alongside a vast list of entertainers, in numerous musical television specials, music videos and live performances, for commercials and with his own band the Aaron Mclain Project. He has also backed up Marc Anthony for the past 10 years.
"The TimeBender is definitely a user-friendly pedal," continued Mclain. "It's high quality allows it to be featured in concerts such as Marc Anthony's, but the price and ease of use makes it perfect for anyone from the beginner to the most advanced."
"The TimeBender is bringing down the house every show we play."

this fits right in line with what I'm trying to say. Many people grow old and feel that is evidence that their opinion is correct. Being able to retain an opinion for so many years doesn't ALWAYS mean it is right. It can also mean your opinion has never been challenged or you are a very stubborn person.
However many people grow old despite the bleak picture Acebird paints, and do keep an open mind, do contribute and interact with the world in a way that benefits us all. It's not right to lump those people in with the others.
Now my view of beekeeping may sound bleak, questioning if it's broken and listing problems, but it's only so that we can prepare to react and quickly as we have changed it. Beekeeping is rooted in a lot of history... a lot. However in the last 50 years we have guided breeding and shaped genetics, exposed hives to pests, viruses and chemicals. Human kind has a heavy hand in the survival of many species on this planet and to think there are people like sqkcrk oblivious to our effect on bees is terrifying.
Maybe you know more than I, maybe you don't. That's why I asked you to enlighten me, relieve my oblivion. While you arew at it, would you please lighten up on the fear mongering. We may not be in "The Golden Age of Beekeeping", but for many of us things are pretty darn good. Bees are plentiful. Honey prices are Historically high even accounting for inflation or cost of living. Pollination needs are huge and growing and pollination fees are good.
So, what's w/ the doom and gloom? I'm not oblivious. I'm simply saying this is nothing new, historically speaking, and not only are things not that bad they will be fine in the future. Maybe it is you who are blind to how things are.
Mark Berninghausen
Well if you are not set in your ways or too stubborn that you can't be swayed...Human kind has a heavy hand in the survival of many species on this planet and to think there are people like sqkcrk oblivious to our effect on bees is terrifying.
I think the human race might have an effect on the beekeeping industry but I do not believe it has any effect on the extinction of an insect, at least not at our present or near future population. We stand more a chance of killing ourselves off than any insect.
I just got this from my sister:
The following write-up explains so much.
"Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was? Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses. Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an 'event boundary' in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale."
It's not aging that causes us to forget; it's the stupid door"!
Whew! Thank goodness for studies

Well, Ace, I was going to propose that if you modified your original post to eliminate the "older" insult, that I would modify my response to essentially endorse your post.
But you seem to enjoy tossing out gratuitous insults. How would your original post been less true without the "older generation" portion?
You post these kinds of insults on a regular basis, then when I later find them and repost your own quotes in a later thread, you complain that you are being insulted! But they are simply your own words!
Carry on!

An optimistic economist may point to an increase in demand rather than a shortage of supply.
I don't think beekeeping is broke, we just have challenges that need to be overcome. A short term problem in the grand scheme of things.
I don't view myself as a fear monger, or doomsday sayer... people that know me think I'm generally happy and optimistic. It appears compared to the sentiment on the beesource forums I am. I guess I always thought the media was blowing things out of proportion, but this discussion is leading me to believe all the beekeepers out there are happy.
Am I suppose to believe those studying beekeeping at the universities are just fanning the flames to get more funding for their research?
I think you and I have a diametrically different point of view, mine being optomistic. I see by your profile that you are 26. Too young to have such an attitude about life.
My optomism isn't just in regards to what is happening here in NY. I actaully have experience working bees in a number of States over the last 36 years. I have also lost hundreds of colonies of bees in one year, going from 732 down to 100 and yet not given up. Stubbornly optomistic or whatever adjective you wish to submit.
Here's another thing to think on. Have you ever tried to eradicate anything? Disease, pest, animal, plant or whatever? Next to impossible. Unless there is a hugh amount of money and determination. If the Federal Government wished to eradicate honeybees for some reason it would be so hughly expensive and take so long that it wouldn't be worth it. So, honeybees are going to be here long after you and your grandchildren are dead and gone.
There is no lack of supply for those who want to have what they want. They may not be able to afford what they want, but that doesn't mean there is a shortage.
You still keeping bees? I hope so. Stick around and stick it out and you will be glad you did. I predict.
Mark Berninghausen
Trust but verify. Take everything w/ a grain of salt. Question authority. All those things. Yes, Universitys do fan flames to a greater or lesser degree in order to justify getting funding. It's how the game is played. There could also be a problem which could be addressed by research which Universities are best able to find answers to. Some times not.
Mark Berninghausen
I see you're quick to bash the young as well as the elderly.
And apparently you have grown smarter than your teacher
Also I have tried to eradicate a few things. I work in the sterilization industry. Very hard to kill bad things, surprisingly easy to kill good things.
I have read my comment over as to it's insulting nature and see none of it. It is a fact of life. Maybe the truth hurts.
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
Ar Jim's comments dated 2000? Is that what the "/2000/" in the Link address means? I know I am not smarter than Jim, though that is the goal of all Professors, or it should be.
Jim has an even wider point of view than I do, since he gets around and talks to more people than I do. But, I believe he would agree w/ me that things are pretty good right now relatively compared to what they have been like.
You seem to be taking this personally.
Mark Berninghausen
Killing and eradicating are two different things too, as you appear to know.
Mark Berninghausen
if you right click on the page, view page information you'll see it was last modified on October 08, 2007. So yep, it's a bit old.
Man, you're right, glad that whole crisis was averted and bees are just fine now. I think I'm going to kick back and relax.

And then there is this thread, where your post was so insulting that Barry deleted it. I did save a screenshot before it was deleted, but I am not going to post it here. Perhaps you remember this one? Its right after post #65 in the thread linked below:Last edited by Acebird; 05-28-2012 at 07:24 AM. Reason: Removed insulting phrase
You were making a comparison about the competence of a person based on the his ethnic heritage and the shade of skin. Does that ring a bell, Acebird?
There are more, but that will do for now. Lets move on to the Funny Pages.
These icons are available to all members as far as I can tell. Are you really paranoid enough to believe that Barry provided those icons just so members could embarrass Acebird?

All the talk yesterday was about Butler's Cinderella run to its second consecutive NCAA final, and much of the talk afterward was how disappointing it was to see the Bulldogs fall short again, and in such hideous fashion.
But let's look at things another way: Our 2011 champions had bombed out of the NIT this time last spring. They had begun this season unranked, an afterthought, having lost eight players from the previous year, three of them starters, with four freshmen forced to step into major roles. Their coach was battling cancer for a third time, and by midseason he was wrestling with NCAA investigators. They lost seven of 11 games going into the Big East tournament. They were relying heavily on the services of a wisp of a kid named Jeremy Lamb who, almost out of nowhere, turned into Scottie Pippen once the postseason began — per John Gasaway, Lamb shot 56 percent from two and 52 percent from three and took 23 percent of UConn's shots when he was on the floor (and you can be sure Butler players won't throw another entry pass in their lives without worrying about Lamb shooting the lane). They played for a national championship, and their best player shot 5-for-19 from the field, and somehow they still won.
Connecticut pulled off an improbable run to a national championship, one only a smidge less preposterous than a Butler title would've been. Maybe in a way it was to the Huskies' misfortune that they made Butler play so ugly. A Cinderella won last night, but all anyone will remember is how dull the dance was.

Remembering Gordon
Chris Cammock
Two years ago, Gordon Ramsay was in the area filming a show and he stayed with us during his week long visit. You can see the original blog post here. I get excited just remembering that time. I have been a fan of Mr. Ramsay since I got sucked into a binge viewing of "Kitchen Nightmare's" after my son was born and I was awake all the time. That led to a binge viewing of "the F-word" (his UK show) and has finally rested with my loyalty to "Master Chef".
Anyhow, he was incredibly busy during his stay but was complimentary of the Inn and very personable and funny. Did he swear? Why, yes he did but it made me giggle and was endearing. He requested bran muffins which we did not have at the Inn so I was elected to make some. That is some pressure there. It was like my own private quick fire (oh, wrong cooking reality show) and I didn't want to make him spit them out in disgust. I carefully chose the freshest ingredients and stocked up on KIng Arthur Flour. Then they actually would be local since King Arthur HQ is just down the road from us in Norwich, Vermont.
I settled on this recipe from King Arthur Flour and at 10PM I whipped up a batch of muffins so he could have them in the morning. I contemplated waking up at 4AM to make them but I had a baby and a toddler at the time and that wasn't going to happen.
I didn't really see much of Gordon that week but made a few batches of muffins so there were fresh ones available. On the day of his departure, we had a brief chat. He asked where I had been all week and I said I had two young kids to which he replied, "brilliant" and "well done". As he walked up the stairs he said, "I love this place" and then when he came back down he said the "muffins were delicious". So there you have it folks, edge of your seat sort of stuff huh?
It had been a little hush-hush that he was staying with us so the moment he was out the door, we facebook and tweeted the spit out of it (we still are) and he so kindly tweeted back that he "loved it. many thanks". How do we know it was really him? Firstly, it was a very quick re-tweet- almost immediate, really. Secondly, he signs his tweets, "Gx" and thirdly, after a week with Gordon, he was our friend.
Thanks for indulging me down memory lane,

Things are looking grim for ADAPs across the nation. The most recent ADAP Watch reports that as of mid-November, there were 346 people on ADAP waiting lists in nine different states -- almost 100 of whom were added in the last two months alone.
Tennessee was forced to establish a waiting list in November, which reached 95 people by the end of the month. But the worst-hit state is Kentucky, where 120 people eligible for ADAP are on the waiting list, and the state is considering additional cost-containing measures, such as reducing its formulary and requiring patients to share costs. Eleven other states, five of which already have waiting lists, either have instituted similar measures or are considering it.
All this comes at a time when experts are pushing for earlier HIV treatment. The most recent HIV treatment guidelines, released on World AIDS Day, recommend that people begin taking medications when they have between 350 and 500 T cells. Following these guidelines would put more people on medications, but ADAP restrictions make that difficult. Many people on waiting lists can't afford medications without assistance and have to go without treatment at all, while others may have to switch to less expensive medications even if their current regimen is working well.

I flew to Amsterdam on Monday on United in a coach seat, for which my company paid $2200 or so for the round trip ticket. I was in an Exit Row, in the window seat (I'm an aisle seat guy), and while it had plenty of legroom, I feel slightly confined in the window seat, compared to the (relatively?) more open confines of the aisle. All-in-all, the flight was fine, I slept for a few hours, watched a movie, and arrived as exhausted as anyone would be after a not-long-enough flight to Amsterdam that arrived at 2am Eastern Time. I just flew back in a quite empty coach cabin, where I had a row to myself.
After we landed, I was thinking about the people sitting in Business Class. They likely paid $7,000 (the typical no-Saturday-night-stay fare on the route, though it can be as low as $5,000, and I see it as high as $11,000), or rather their company paid $7,000 for the flight.
In other words, they paid about $5,000 more for their ticket than I paid for mine.
Stop. Think about that for a minute. Five. Thousand. Dollars. Five thousand dollars can buy you this rather beautiful Cartier Ballon Bleu watch. You will likely have this watch for your entire life, at the end of which you will leave it for your children.
Let's pause here for a moment. I'm not saying the airlines are charging too much. Not at all. They're charging what the market will bear, and that's totally fine. I have no problem with them charging $7,000 for that ticket.
But I was thinking about that price, and I was thinking that $5,000 gets you either a luxury timepiece that will survive generations, or it will buy you a bigger seat and some food on a 7 hour flight to and from Amsterdam.
Until quite recently, United would have given you that seat in exchange for 100,000 miles, an amount of miles that no one would reasonably say is "worth" $7,000. Upon checking in for my flight home, United offered to sell me an upgrade for $689, which suggests to me that they believe they can fill up the empty seats for a $689 premium over the coach price, which is to say that Business class is "worth" $689 more than a coach seat.
I realize that most of those $7,000 seats are only "worth" $7,000 because someone's business is paying for it. And perhaps the argument here is not that people are very willing to spend $7,000 of their company's money, but rather that companies believe their employees are $5,000 more productive after flying business class versus flying coach. I'm not sure about that, though that seems like the most reasonable possibility for why people would pay a Cartier more for a business class seat than a coach seat.
Which makes me think that international business class tickets are actually a pretty complex product to price. The price of them is wildly dependent based on who is purchasing them, and the airlines need to come up with ways to segment pricing based on what people will pay. I know that sounds a bit obvious, but it's a challenging question. By all means, there are businesses that will pay the $7,000 because they believe their employees are $5,000 more productive when they fly business class versus coach. But they probably can't sell all their tickets at $7,000. So they make those seats available for $689 to those customers.
This is a recent development – United has only been selling those upgrades for the past couple of years, but it represents an enormous opportunity for them. It also gives us a glimpse into what they think the business class product itself (rather than the increased productivity) is worth – which is to say, $689 more than coach.
I don't have a huge point here other than I think it's interesting that people pay $7,000 for the seat, not because of the product itself, but because of secondary benefits (staying awake in a meeting).

Former bush fugitive Malcolm John Naden will stand trial next year for the murders of two Dubbo women.
The former abattoir worker on Tuesday appeared via audio-visual link in Central Local Court in Sydney, where he was not required to enter a plea.
He formally waived his right to a committal hearing on charges of murdering Kristy Scholes and his cousin Lateesha Nolan in 2005, meaning he will go straight to trial.
Bald, bearded and dressed in a bright orange jumpsuit, Naden stared straight ahead as Magistrate Julie Huber listed the charges against him.
He remained silent except to say "thank you".
Naden was captured on March 22 this year in a remote area near Gloucester in the Upper Hunter region after almost seven years on the run.
He will appear before the NSW Supreme Court on February 1 in relation to the two murder charges.
Naden is also charged with a string of break-and-enter offences, two counts of aggravated indecent assault on a girl and the attempted murder of a police officer in remote bushland at Nowendoc in 2011.
He will appear in Sydney District Court in December in relation to those charges.

Grow is a simple game where your success is dependent on how much you use NFC. You have a potted plant that grows the more you use your NFC and as a bonus, you can view the map (little icon in the upper right corner) to find additional Grows for bonus plant food. Grow comes across as a game that is part virtual pet and part scavenger hunt.
Grow isn't an action packed game for your Windows Phone but if you've been looking for an excuse to use your NFC on your Nokia Lumia 920 or HTC 8X, Grow might fit the bill.
The main screen for Grow has your potted plant with buttons to access the settings, the online shop, and share the app with friends. In the upper right corner you'll see a map button that will launch...well... a map view with icons of other Grows. Grow doesn't have a Help Section so I can only guess that these Grows represent other users(?). Nonetheless, if you tap on the icon your plant grows just a little.
Settings present you with options to set the Grow main screen as your lockscreen wallpaper, create a live tile, and turn on/off notifications. If you don't have much of a green thumb, you can head into the online shop and purchase a computer chip ($1.29)and have it grow.
As you tap on the Grows from the map and use your NFC to make connections while in the game, the virtual plant or computer chip grows. And as best I can tell, it's the NFC connection that feeds the plant and not so much actually transferring files/information via NFC.
Again, Grow isn't an action packed game for your Windows Phone 8 device but it's an interesting concept. I really would have liked to have seen a Help Section or maybe a more detailed description in the Windows Phone Store. Without any guidance, it's a guessing game as to how Grow is suppose to work. In many ways, Grow feels like a work in progress that you have to figure out through trial and error but has potential. It just needs a little fine tuning.
While it may not appeal to everyone, Grow is an unique game that ties into your NFC use. Exactly how it ties into things is still a bit of a mystery. Grow is a free game for your Windows Phone 8 device and you can find it here in the Windows Phone Store.

Windows 8's modern interface didn't go over so well out of the gate. While there was a lot to like among all the Live Tiles and touch friendliness, usability experts panned many of the operating system's design choices, and power users felt abandoned at the altar of the interface formerly known as Metro.
But beyond bridging the gap between PC and tablet, Windows 8's sudden immersion in the modern UI may have had another purpose: Separating casual users from power users--a move that could actually preserve the best of Windows while making the OS more palatable to an increasingly dumbed-down computing public.
"Before Windows 8 and Metro came along, power users and casual users--the content creators and the content consumers--had to share the same space," Windows interface designer Jacob Miller wrote in a lengthy explanation on Reddit over the weekend. (A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed his employment.)
As such, any feature contending for inclusion had to be simple enough for the everyman, while simultaneously handy enough for power users. Miller claims numerous features failed to hit the right mix and fell by the wayside, most notably virtual desktops like the ones found in Linux and OS X.
All work, no play, and vice versa
Enter Windows 8. Yes, the modern UI is simple and better suited for content consumption than content creation--but Miller, who clarified he's speaking as an employee sharing his viewpoint rather than in an official capacity, claims that's the point.
"Our hands were bound, and our users were annoyed with their rented jackets. So what did we do? We separated the users into two groups. Casual and Power. We made two separate playgrounds for them. All the casual users would have their own new and shiny place to look at pictures of cats--Metro. The power users would then have free reign over their native domain--the desktop."
A month ago, Miller made similar comments, going so far as to say that "our main goal [in Windows 8] wasn't to support touch screens, it's to separate casual users from pro users." So if Windows 8 was designed to herd casual and power users into separate corners, why does the OS default to the simplistic modern UI?
"The short answer is because casual users don't go exploring. If we made desktop the default as it has always been, and included a nice little start menu that felt like home, the casual users would never have migrated to their land of milk and honey... So we forced it upon them. We drove them to it with goads in their sides."
That's a rough metaphor, but the point is clear, and according to Miller, it has a bright side. Now that casual users have been tossed into the Live Tiles deep end without a life vest--or "Now that the casual users are aware of their new pasture," as he puts it--he says Microsoft can start to tinker with the two sides of the coin: Making Metro better for casual users, and stuffing the desktop with power features that never would have made the cut before.
"Right now we still have a lot of work to do on making Metro seem tasty for those casual users, and that's going to divert our attention for a while. But once it's purring along smoothly, we'll start making the desktop more advanced. We'll add things that we couldn't before. Things will be faster, more advanced, and craftier than they have in the past --and that's why Metro is good for power users."
Peering into the future
If true, that could be enticing indeed. Windows 8.1 already started the migration, adding an optional boot-to-desktop feature along with numerous tweaks that improved the modern interface, such as more control settings, more flexible Snap functionality, Bing Smart Search, and much more. Microsoft's Metro apps are constantly adapting, as the company shifts away from monolithic development schedules to rapid-fire updates.
Leaked versions of the impending Windows 8.1 update 1 show even more improvements inbound. However, its new features--like showing modern apps on the desktop taskbar, or dynamically booting to either the desktop or the Start screen, depending on whether your setup has a Start screen--appear to be more of a Ballmer-esque "refinement of the blend" to make the desktop and modern UIs play more nicely together, rather than a doubling down on the strengths of the two individual interfaces.
It's unclear whether that initial smoothing of the edges was always intended, or if it became more of a priority after Windows 8's hard landing. What with Windows 8.1 update 1's changes, Satya Nadella being appointed Microsoft's new CEO, and now this, displaced Windows desktop aficionados can at least feel the first pangs of optimism stirring once again.
And hey: If you can't wait for Windows 10 to finally introduce virtual desktops once the casual users have left the power user building, be sure to check out the superb Dexpot. It's free, and it rocks.

Monkman raises enough money to make Northern Pass film
Production begins this week
All that Portsmouth photographer and filmmaker Jerry Monkman needed to do was let people know he wanted to raise $35,000 to produce a film on the proposed effectsof the Northern Forest high-power transmission line in New Hampshire.
In a matter of weeks, after getting the word out, Monkman has successfully raised the money to produce "The Power of Place," making it what he believes is the highest crowd-funded indie film project ever in New Hampshire.
Production of the film, which takes a look at the visual effects of Northern Pass on New Hampshire landscapes, begins this week.
"I am grateful and humbled to have the support of the hundreds of individuals, businesses, and organizations that pledged the money to make this film possible. Using the Kickstarter platform to run my fundraising campaign was the key in maximizing the social networking opportunities and grassroots word-of-mouth that was necessary to fund this project."
"The Power of Place" will rely on Monkman's well-known landscape photography style while featuring locations along the route of Northern Pass in Coos County, The White Mountains, and southern New Hampshire.
Northeast Utilities and Hydro-Quebec are together proposing to build a 180-mile, high-voltage transmission line through the state from Coos Countyto Deerfield to convey 1,200 megawatts of power to Southern New England. While the top 40 miles of the state do not have existing transmission lines the lower 140 miles have existing lines, which would be "improved" to allow for the larger transmission.
Monkman said, "With 'The Power of Place,' I hope to not only show the beauty of the New Hampshire landscape that is at risk due to Northern Pass, but also explore the murky economics of the project that bring into question the benefits of Northern Pass for New Hampshire."
The film is scheduled for release on Dec. 1, 2013. More information about the film can be found on Monkman's website: http://ecophotography.com/power/
To those who know and love New Hampshire's great outdoors, Monkman is well-known.
A conservation, travel, and adventure photographer and filmmaker based in Portsmouth, he is known for his conservation work in New England's wild places.
He has spent the past 20 years documenting the mountains, forests, and coastlines that define the region. Since 2000, he has created photography for more than 120 land conservation projects in New England. With his wife, Marcy, he has co-authored nine books, and his most recent book, "The AMC Guide to Outdoor Digital Photography," won a 2012 National Outdoor Book Award.

Lyle Thurston
Thurston first met fellow Greenpeace founder Bob Hunter in 1969, when Hunter wrote a newspaper column about Thurston's free medical services to Vancouver youth who had overdosed on drugs. Thurston would set up a medical tent at outdoor rock concerts, staffed with nurses and doctors. He became known in the community, and people would bring drug overdose cases to his office or home at any time of night or day. He closed his medical practice for two months in 1971 to join Hunter and the others on the first Greenpeace campaign.
Thurston grew up in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, earned a medical degree at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, and began his practice at a clinic on a native Cree reservation. He learned sign language to communicate with deaf and mute children in the rural community. He had a life-long love for classical music and ballet, and was a generous patron of the classical arts.
Thurston, a serious environmental activist, also knew how to make protest fun. He became famous for hosting extraordinary parties, during which he would recruit volunteers for his public projects. He attracted many others to Greenpeace, including Davie Gibbons, Greenpeace's lawyer in the 1970s; Dr. Myron Macdonald, a medic on Greenpeace whale campaigns; and Bobbi Innes, who later married Bob Hunter and established the first public Greenpeace office. Hunter once said of Thurston, "He always made new recruits feel welcome, and knew how to make protest fun. Thurston knew how to lift people's spirits."
During the 1971 campaign, Thurston's exuberance led to unexpected good fortune. While taking wheelhouse watch with Bob Hunter one night, Thurston brought his tape deck and played Beethoven and the Moody Blues through the night. Inadvertently, Thurston set the tape recorder near the ship's compass, throwing the compass needle off. Throughout the night, with Thurston conducting the music, Hunter unknowingly steered the ship 90 miles off course. What seemed at first to be an embarrassing mistake turned auspicious because the US Coast guard lost track of the Greenpeace ship and had to scramble a C-130 Hercules aircraft to find it.
During the second Greenpeace campaign, to stop French nuclear testing in the South Pacific, Thurston again closed his medical practice and set up in Europe, where he led rallies in London, Paris, and Rome. He carried the Greenpeace flag into the Vatican and serendipitously met Pope Paul VI, who blessed the flag. He helped established the first Greenpeace group in London when he appeared on the BBC with local supporters in a 3-way radio link with Greenpeace Chairman Ben Metcalf in Vancouver and skipper David McTaggart in New Zealand.
On the first Greenpeace whale campaign, in 1975, Thurston flew to Winter Harbour to attend to a crewmember, who had experienced an emotional breakdown, but refused to leave the boat. Thurston recalled: "I laced a sandwich with stelazine (a tranquillizer), and lowered it into the hold, where Bob Hunter was attempting to coax him out. The patient refused the sandwich, so Hunter ate it and passed out." Thurston then went into the hold and, with his compassionate bedside manner, convinced the troubled crewman to accept a tranquilizer, and then accompanied him to the hospital.
Thurston was a co-founder of Greenpeace International in 1979, as he encouraged others to set aside the original legal structure and adopt a new international Board of Directors.
His friend of forty years, Dr. Myron Macdonald, recalls, "He streaked like a meteor through our lives and by God it was never dull. He gave me the gift of appreciation of classical music, opera, and the fine arts. Looking back, I realize that he was instrumental in putting together almost all of my closest friendships."
Thurston suffered a serious accident in 1980, when a bicyclist hit him as he crossed the street in front of his Vancouver office. He never fully recovered and closed his medical practice, but he continued offering free medical services to those in need and working occasionally with Greenpeace. He lived his life with a sense of duty to serve others, and with a sense of joy that roused others. He is survived by his mother and missed by his many friends and colleagues.

Today I lingered for a moment on a syndicated Christian radio program as the host interviewed her guest. I listened as they reached their consensus that the explanation for atheism was the deep hurt of a father who "wasn't there" in the atheist's youth. They used (my beloved) Christopher Hitchen's pronouncement that any tales of his deathbed conversion (he only recently died of cancer) should not be believed. The man on the other side of the radio interview said these words made him want to "crawl under my desk — for man is designed to be with God". To these two Christians, then, the only explanation for not believing in God was the disappointment of a disappointing "earthly" father, not reason, not evidence, none of that nonsense.
This isn't the first time I've run across this idea. If I tell an evangelical Christian that I don't believe in God, they will almost invariably become instantly sympathetic, moved, even, as they struggle to imagine the magnitude of hurt I must have experienced that "drove me away" from God. (It's of little consequence to them that the entire construct of that question presupposes the existence of an actual God that I could be hurt by, or disappointed in. But that is another matter).
Having considered and studied the nature of belief for some time, it now seems to me that belief in God is a natural part of being human. True, belief is not quite universal among our species, but the majority of humans do believe in some power "greater than themselves" (and by this they don't mean the powerful forces of nature). It's been an interesting experiment to be among the minority in this regard (and in the minority of even that minority of unbelievers by virtue of identifying myself an atheist, as opposed to agnostic).
One part of this "non-spiritual" adventure of mine is experiencing the social aspect of being in this non-religious minority within a broadly religious majority culture. But another aspect of the adventure is the challenge of being one of those humans who — unlike some of my atheist brethren — found belief to be fairly easy to go along with until it was no longer a tenable conceptual framework. In other words, I seemed to be quite able and willing to believe…right up to the moment I realized that God didn't actually exist.
But that has put me in a challenging cognitive spot: between a rock and hard place, as it were. For it would appear that I have an evolved brain that is (like the brains of the believing majority) actually wired to believe (to conjure meaningful patterns from random events by selective emphasis) and yet I am currently not actively engaging that part of my brain. So you could say that I am, in a sense, at odds with my own biology!
But I also have what could be classified as a "critical" brain. And I don't mean that in a completely negative sense. I think it is precisely my critical capacity — combined with a curiosity (perhaps bequeathed to me by my own earthly father) — that has made me the artist and writer that I am. After all, to progress at all in any art or profession, one must develop the capacity to evaluate one's own performance, which in my case meant finding a balance between developing a cold eye for searching out mistakes or weaknesses in my work, and a genuine appreciation for the products of my own particular talent. But it may well be that a brain like mine — so well tuned for creating art — is not the best brain for living in a world of belief. In other words, having the brain that I have, perhaps my declension from belief was as inevitable as my acquisition of it in the first place!
When my Christianity came to an end, I felt like a hard-rock miner who had been manning a clattering drill for fifteen years who had suddenly broken through a rock wall that, instead of leading to an open chamber, was actually the last bit of crust on the other side of the earth, and so I found myself suddenly tumbling off into the vast void of God-less space. In time I began to look in wonder at Christians who had believed in God all of their lives (and would likely believe until they died). How could they do it? Was it simply a function of my determined personality that turned the seemingly virtuous trait of getting-to-the-bottom-of-things into a boring-a-hole-right-through-an-entire-belief-system character flaw?
Could be.
But getting back to the sympathetically vapid stance of our two radio people, I can honestly tell tell them that I have no beef with God. (But, based on my experience with such discussions, I don't think they would be quite able to grasp what that really means). Like when a young friend recently asked me what my chief complaint was with God. Well, I would have to answer that I have no "complaint" with God, because, well, God does not exist as a real thing that I could have a real complaint with or about. The question itself is built upon the same presuppositions as the "bad-daddy" atheism cause I described above.
And this is where I must make a diversion into an area where things get really tricky.
So far, we've tended (historically) to see things in one of two ways: 1) God exists, and we were created by Him to know Him, and it is an act of sinful "will" to ignore or deny this reality; or 2) There is no god (never was), and we just made him up anyway (and so it logically follows that we can unmake him up just as easily). But I'm coming to see that it's more complicated than that. For religious belief is based on a particular approach to interpreting naturally-occuring phenomenon, that is itself built on the natural cognitive structure of our evolved pattern-seeking (and highly social) brains. This means that what we are really talking about is a difference in the interpretation of actual phenomenon, not in the existence (or validity) of that phenomenon. So that when we say that God doesn't exist, the believer thinks we mean that the phenomenon that a believer uses to support his or her belief doesn't exist, (and they simply KNOW that this is bullshit). And I suspect that a lot of atheists make that subtle, but critical, mistake in their argument. But as I've come to say: "I believe in the phenomenon, I just don't believe in the religious interpretation of it".
And so when I listen to folks like those on the radio today, I hear people creating an entire argument in an imaginary space that never has to make contact with reality, only with a certain shared perception of it. And the theories and questions and challenges that emerge from that cloud end up being of no practical use to someone like me. There is no point of useful engagement with such notions. Threats of divine judgement are not ignored by the non-believer out of some injured-child defiance, but because they are hollow threats. There is nothing to back them up and, therefore, nothing to get riled about.
There are multiple levels to human behavior, and they are woven together in an way that makes their untangling a tricky thing. But this shouldn't be surprising, for isn't that the way of all of nature? Ecosystems and animals live in a highly interdependent dance such that any slight change in any part of that system can trigger a cascade of unforeseen consequences. And so it is with us humans when belief is removed from the cognitive equation. It may just turn out to be that unbelief is an unnatural state to some of us! This could be part of the explanation for why there aren't more non-believers than there are: on some instinctual level folks understand the risk of leaving the security of the group think. But then we are also curious, reasoning animals, and I am certainly not the first (or only) human to come to the conclusion that he's been believing a bunch of silliness with no basis in fact or evidence.
But then this, to me, makes the argument against God even more compelling. For even here there is a natural explanation that is consonant with other observable realities. Belief in God then is not merely a delusion, but a particular kind of illusion that is custom-fit to our mode of thinking and feeling. This, too, points to the natural evolutionary origins of belief far more than it points to an actual God. But to understand such ideas, someone in the embrace of active religious belief would have to take several significant steps back before gaining any kind of useful perspective. And this is an action that few, it seems, are willing to take.
So the atheist recognizes the reality of the world offered by science, but must then persevere through the discomforts of living a godless life with a brain "built" for belief, whereas the believer indulges in the easy comforts of a fantastical (yet custom-tailored) mindscape of that belief. Two different yet related modes of human existence as we navigate our way through the remarkable fact of our existence on this planet.

1 killed, 2 injured in military helicopter crash in southern Maryland
One crew member was killed and two others were injured after a Black Hawk military helicopter crashed in St. Mary's County, officials said.
A military statement said a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, with three crew members on board, crashed at 1:37 p.m. at the Breton Bay Golf Course during a training exercise.
One crew member was killed and two others were flown to Shock Trauma in Baltimore. One of the injured crew members is in serious condition and one is in critical condition.
None of the crew members were identified.
"We are deeply saddened by this loss within our community," said Maj. Gen. Bradley A. Becker, commanding general, Joint Force Headquarters National Capital Region and the U.S. Army Military District of Washington. "Our condolences go out to the families and friends affected by this tragedy, and our team is focused on supporting them during this difficult time."
"About 1 o'clock we had a Black Hawk helicopter come over and he was kind of flying sideways, pretty low, and then as we got out on the deck watching it, he got treetop level and all of a sudden we saw the tail spin up and just spinning around and we heard him go down," witness Mike Harvey, a golf professional at Breton Bay Golf Course, told WBAL News Radio 1090 AM.
Harvey said because of the course's proximity to a river, people there usually see Navy and Marine Corps aircraft in the area.
"Very seldom do we see Army (aircraft)," Harvey said.
A military official later confirmed it came from the 12th Aviation Battalion, stationed at Davison Airfield, Fort Belvoir in Virginia.
Harvey said no one was out at the holes playing golf where the helicopter crashed.
The Maryland State Police sent two helicopters to help, WBAL News Radio 1090 AM reported. The St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office and U.S. Army are handling the incident.
This is the second military aircraft to go down in southern Maryland this month. An F-16 on a training mission went down in Clinton on April 5. The pilot ejected and was treated for minor injuries

Hey, it Works. What's the Problem?
This beautiful piece of work was in the group of photos that John L. Loveland from Ohio shared with me recently (see last month's column). The caption with this photo said, "Pretty safe, isn't it? I mean the hot conductor is at least ¼ in. from a metal oil pipe, and it's almost 48 in. off the ground, so children won't touch it." Now, there's some sound thinking. It's obvious this installation doesn't satisfy the requirements of the NEC, but exactly how one might remedy this mess is not completely clear.
For example, as noted in Sec. 400.7(B) of Art. 400 (Flexible Cords and Cables), "Where used as permitted in 400.7(A)(3), (A)(6), and (A)(8), each flexible cord shall be equipped with an attachment plug and shall be energized from a receptacle outlet." Assuming that the heavy-duty cord is supplying the voltage — which one has to assume — then it seems a receptacle must be installed at the line end of the cord to allow for connection of the molded 2-prong plug cap. But is it permissible to supply a surface-mounted receptacle outlet with heavy-duty cord? It doesn't seem so.
If you were to mount a receptacle outlet to provide for connection of the 2-prong molded plug cap, you'd have to determine if the cord were being used in accordance with the rules of 400.8 (Uses Not Permitted), which specifically limits the use of flexible cord as a general wiring method. As stated in 400.8, "…flexible cords and cables shall not be used for the following: (1) As a substitute for fixed wiring of the structure; and (4) Where attached to the building surfaces." Of course, the Exception to part (4) excludes bus drop cable from that prohibition. So, unless this is a bus drop cable without a cord connector, which I highly doubt, then the entire hookup must be abandoned. A proper branch circuit, or branch circuit extension (using a wiring method recognized by Chapter 3 as suitable for the occupancy and type of application) must be provided.
I have to assume this work was not subject to inspection by a third party. But even if it wasn't, what about self inspection? Where's the person in charge? This is a very unsafe condition that presents a possible shock or electrocution hazard. In fact, this installation is so non-Code-compliant it should be obvious to almost anyone, even an untrained, casual observer.
Unique Bathroom Fan/Light Combo
This shot was also sent in with the group of photos from John L. Loveland. I can hardly believe someone actually pulled this off. The installation is completely ludicrous!
As far as the Code is concerned, it would seem the requirements of 110.3(B) (Installation and Use) have clearly not been met. This Code rule states, "Listed or labeled equipment shall be installed and used in accordance with any instruction included in the listing or labeling." There's no way the manufacturer intended for the fan to be used in this manner. Nor would I ever believe the fan was evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for this type of use.
In scrutinizing this photo, I can't help but wonder how the fan was secured to the outlet box, if there even is one in the ceiling. Additionally, I wonder where the fan cord is located? Does it snake into a box, or is there a flying splice hidden somewhere in the ceiling. If you focus your eye on the mirror reflection, it appears to show a fan control device on the wall above the light switch. That's really scary! As my father used to tell me, "Never underestimate the ingenuity of the human mind."

Frilled Lizards in Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes!
Our herpetology staff is currently caring for four juvenile frilled lizards behind-the-scenes in our Australia exhibit! These juveniles will spend a few more weeks behind-the-scenes for observation and acclimation before going on exhibit.
Also known as "frillnecks," this species is found in the humid woodlands of northern Australia and parts of southern New Guinea. They spend most of their time perched up in the trees, perfectly camouflaged, only venturing down to the floor in search of food.
Frilled lizards get their name from the large ruff of skin around their necks. When the animal is threatened, it gapes its mouth open to display its "frill" and, hopefully, discourage any predators from further pursuit.
This species is also known for their ability to run at high speeds on their hind legs – which allows them to reach the safety of a nearby tree quickly, if threatened. It's quite the sight to see! Check out this awesome video of a frilled lizard in action:

Be sure to check back every Friday to find out what's happening!

South Chicago Avenue Streetscaping Info < 1/6 >
Chicago Illinois This Urban Planning project proposes the redevelopment of a six block stretch of South Chicago Avenue in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood to increase pedestrian safety and serve as a catalyst for retail development. The plan features the relocation of four traffic lanes and the introduction of a landscaped median. Sidewalk depth is increased on the east side of the street to allow for new landscape planters. New paving and neighborhood identity is introduced in concrete stampings, and two gateway parks at either end of the street that provide public space and graphic features that announce the neighborhood's rebirth.

Floyd Romesberg on his research:
The artificial strings of DNA do not encode for anything yet, but scientists speculate they could be designed to manufacture new proteins which could have industrial or pharmaceutical uses. Experts said the synthetic DNA incorporating the unnatural base pair raises the possibility of life forms based on a different DNA code.

I wonder how long before the "self-limiting" function of such organisms is no longer true.

Some Movies TRULY Improve The World/
Two days before THE INVISIBLE WAR got an Oscar Nomination for Best Documentary (i.e. today), Congress announced it would hold a hearing on sexual abuse in the Military. When it becomes more and more difficult for our mainstream media to examine complex issues in depth and with true soul, it is left to independent filmmakers to dig in and expose what our world is. When done well,the world can not help but listen. When it is done really well, the world begins to act. It does get better.
The invisible becomes visible to us all. Movies show us how to see the truth (as well as much much more).

LENEXA, KS, March 19, 2013 -- Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. has agreed to pay a $2.25 million civil penalty to settle alleged violations of the federal Clean Air Act (CAA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and the State of Missouri's Air Conservation Law, Clean Water Law, and Hazardous Waste Management Law at the company's facility in Mexico, Mo., the Justice Department, EPA and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources announced today.
A 2007 inspection of the Missouri facility revealed violations of the CAA. The violations included failure to control emissions of hazardous air pollutants from wastewater and failure to comply with regulations designed to prevent leaks of air pollutants from equipment at the facility.
In 2007, an EPA inspection found the Teva facility was discharging pollutants above permitted levels established by the City of Mexico's Pretreatment Program, in violation of the CWA. In some cases, these pollutants were causing interference with the city's ability to treat its domestic sewage, leading to pollutant discharges into the Salt River. A 2008 inspection found that Teva was discharging a green effluent that ultimately discolored a portion of the Salt River in November and December 2008.
In 2009, an inspection by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources uncovered various RCRA violations. These violations included failure to determine if waste was hazardous, illegal storage of hazardous waste, failure to comply with labeling requirements, and offering hazardous waste for transport without a manifest.
"This settlement penalizes Teva for multiple violations of U.S. environmental laws when it allowed excess emissions of hazardous air pollutants from Teva's wastewater treatment facility and excess discharges of pollutants into the City of Mexico, Missouri's wastewater treatment facility," said Ignacia S. Moreno, the Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department's Environment and Natural Resources Division. "The agreement is protective of human health and the environment because it requires Teva to offset its excess emissions, install modern equipment that will increase the recovery and reuse of hazardous pollutants and reduce air emissions, as well as enhance its leak prevention capability."
"With numerous violations over a period of years, Teva's actions resulted in significant environmental damage to the air and water," said EPA Region 7 Administrator Karl Brooks. "The penalty and injunctive relief required by this agreement send a strong message to Teva and others that businesses must comply with environmental laws."
Teva's $2.25 million penalty includes a $1.125 million payment to the U.S. Treasury and a $1.125 million payment to the State of Missouri.
In addition to the penalty, Teva will complete other actions at the facility valued at approximately $2.5 million. These include the installation of equipment to recover and reuse approximately 59.5 tons of methylene chloride and reduce other emissions by 19 tons over a five-year period. Teva will also conduct an audit to identify past causes of CWA violations, implement a program to prevent leaks of hazardous air pollutants at the facility, take actions to prevent future violations, and implement an Environmental Management System with third-party monitoring.
As a result of this Consent Decree, Teva has certified that it is in full compliance with CAA, CWA and RCRA regulations.

High school students presented their research papers in front of peers in panels organized by themes ranging from "Invoking Social Capital Across Continents" to "The Role of Propaganda in History." Faculty Commentators from PSU's History Department presided over each session, providing feedback and leading the discussion that followed the presentations.
Chosen as the winning paper was "Seeds of Destruction: Factors Triggering the Watts Riots," by Max Heninger from Lakeridge High School. The paper demonstrates advanced level writing and historical research skill, well beyond expectations for high school seniors. Click here to read Max's paper.

A number of D-link routers are now equipped with captcha feature. Sounds interesting.
Chief technology officer in D-link says: "We are excited to be the first in the market to implement captcha into our routers, providing yet another layer of security to our customers".
No doubt, captcha is a wonderful spam filter for mails and a reliable obstacle to unauthorized access in the web, but is it as good for routers as for the web? (more…)

I think that a large part of the reason I've been absent is that since we eliminated wheat from our diet I've been a little bummed. I love how much better I feel and do not miss the effects that wheat was having on my system, but it doesn't make a baker happy to find out that 95% (or more!) of their recipes are now off limits. So...I moped. And I got a bit cranky about all the meals that I've made previously who are just waiting to jump to the head of the line and appear here and now I don't want to post them because I'm in a tiff.
I'm sure that I will eventually post them, just like I will eventually post the new wheat free recipes I've been creating to replace them. The problem with my replacement recipes is that they aren't fully tested and I don't feel right posting something I created off the top of my head until I'm certain that it works more than once, several times would be better. As I work out the kinks I'll try to be better about posting the results, but until then things are going to be slim pickings.
As you will be able to see below, this month is pretty much ALL about grilling. I have no desire to heat up my kitchen so we are taking it all outdoors to appreciate the summer. Also, you might notice that most of the sides are rather up in the air. I am hoping to be able to fill in those blanks with various fresh veggies from my garden, but at the moment I have NO idea was they will be (and no promise that they will produce!) Enjoy!

The Ultimate Experience
Ultimate is one of the fastest-growing club sports in the country, according to the 2009 Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association survey. The Grinnellephants and the Sticky Tongue Frogs, Grinnell's men's and women's Ultimate teams respectively, had great seasons in this growing Frisbee-throwing noncontact team sport. Their efforts culminated in both teams qualifying for the USA Ultimate Division III National Championships, held in May 2011 in Buffalo, N.Y.. As one of only three schools with both men's and women's teams represented (the other two being Claremont and Occidental), Grinnell finished in the top 10 with both teams — the women placed seventh and the men placed third.
It's no wonder that Grinnell has a growing and successful program. In Ultimate, two teams of seven players each compete and score points by completing passes up the field into the opponent's end zone. Where Ultimate strays from many other sports, however, is in its cornerstone: the unifying idea of the "spirit of the game." Players are responsible for calling infringements and resolving disputes. Similar to Grinnell's own policy of self-governance, Ultimate's "spirit of the game" relies on mutual respect, adherence to agreed-upon rules, and love of the community.
The Grinnell Sticky Tongue Frogs qualified for the first USA Ultimate-sanctioned Division III Nationals in the spring of 2010, led by captains Hanna Liebl '10, Maddie Hart-Andersen '10, and Sarah Ervin '11. Although the bid was unexpected, Caroline Kory '11 said it was a huge honor to get there. "We played better than we had all season, and the preparation was invaluable to our future." Ervin recounted, "I thought we were going to lose all our games but we were actually really good! I never realized it before because our region is so strong." The Stickies finished tied for third in the country in 2010.
This fall, led by captains Sarah Ervin '11, Christine Grummon '11, and Paige Hill '12, the Stickies made it a goal to return to nationals. Winter brought a restructuring to Division III, and with it, the opportunity for more success. This spring, the Stickies made an intense commitment to strength, endurance, and acceleration training, an investment which paid off: The Stickies came in seeded fifth for the nationals. Hill wrote in forWithout Limits, an Ultimate blog, "Grinnell's game to go to the Division III National Championships was one of the most meaningful and emotional experiences I have had as an athlete, and this season was one of the most exciting I have been a part of." Knocked out of the championship bracket by a talented Williams College team, which lost a close game in the finals, the Grinnell women finished tied for seventh. "It was exhilarating. We got to live up to what we've been working towards. We played as a cohesive, coherent group of people who love each other," said Hannah Bauman '13. Cory Keeler '12 agreed. "This year was last year squared."
The men, captained by Tom Elliott '11 and Aaron Swaney '11, also made qualifying for nationals a goal this year. With a large, talented senior class and an incredibly dedicated first-year class, the scrappy Grinnellelephants created space and capitalized on their seniors through their offense, dubbed "the grinder." Seeded low, the men won all their games in pool play. "We squeezed some narrow victories but everyone stepped up their game. The Grinnellelephants represented themselves well on and off the field," said Elliott, team captain. Similarly, Carter Wiese '14 was happy with the results. "It was awesome and so rewarding. When we first talked about it, I didn't think we could make it, but I think it was a fitting reward because of our dedication to the sport and to each other."
The future of the program is bright. As a club team with no coach, leadership comes from within, and players see each other as a family. While leading peers and friends is a challenge, Grinnell Ultimate has created a model that can be emulated by many teams in the future. As Keeler, captain for the 2011-12 year, put it: "It's like we're putting hieroglyphics on the walls. We are participating in the development of what in 20 years people will call the history of D-IIIs. Our men's and women's teams are spearheading that movement."
Email firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com for more information about the team, the sport, or playing at Grinnell.
Postscript: The history of Grinnell College Ultimate is sparse. The oldest information about Ultimate at Grinnell dates back to 1990 for men and 1992 for women. If you have information on the specifics of how the teams evolved over time, email email@example.com.
