This is going to sound like heresy. But I have to come out and say that the Warwick Public Schools are facing a crisis. These are the schools that made me, where I spent 12 years of my life. From where I graduated valedictorian in 1993. From where I went on to an Ivy League college and then law school. Where my sisters went to school, where my niece and nephew go to school. Where my older daughter is in fourth grade and where my younger daughter will start first grade next year, because I choose to live in Warwick and because I choose to send my kids to public school. Where I met my wife. Where my mother teaches. I love this place and our school system.
But we are in a crisis. One that has been decades in the making. Our city's schools were, by and large, built or retooled with the haste and energy accompanying the boom of the '50s and '60s that made Warwick a singularly popular place for middle-class Rhode Island parents to raise their kids. And, as is normal for public infrastructure, we have lived for decades off of that build-out. When I entered the Warwick Public Schools in 1981, many of our schools were still relatively new by public infrastructure standards. But then the building, for the most part, stopped. And then the problems of aging infrastructure started. And then the issues of infrastructure technology mounted. And now we find ourselves in the second decade of the 21st century with no plan other than Band-Aid fixes to the problem of educating our kids in dilapidated "Leave It To Beaver" facilities. Where, in many classrooms, you can't even see out the windows.
Here is why our aging school infrastructure is a crisis.
First, the longer we wait, the more it's going to cost to address. That's just the nature of deferred maintenance.
Second, the longer we wait, the more kids we're going to pass through junky buildings. They deserve more.
Third, we're in a phase of school closure and consolidation, which is the right time to address infrastructure improvements. Otherwise, we will not have the flexibility to do what's needed at the lowest cost, and we'll let the closures happen with no attendant benefits to our kids or our community.
Fourth, if we don't adopt a plan now, families are going to stop being attracted to Warwick as a place that is proactive about top-rate, sustainable educational facilities. Our tax base will shrink, and then we'll be without the revenue to dig ourselves out of this hole. Ask around: Do you know anyone moving to Warwick because the schools are in good shape? How about North Kingstown?
I am here for the long haul. I grew up here, and though I work away, I live here because I want to. I have two kids, but they are too old to enjoy the benefits of any serious school reconstruction. Even a fast-tracked program will not realize new facilities while they are in the Warwick Public Schools. So I have nothing to gain here personally, other than the firm belief that whatever we spend on new school facilities today will come back to us in sustainable tax burdens over the course of time. And whatever we don't invest now, we'll pay anyway as our tax base dwindles for failure to offer appropriate educational facilities for our city's kids. And I want to take pride in the schools where our city sends its kids.
So here is what we should do.
For secondary education, we should commit now to building one new junior and senior high school complex for all kids in grades 6 through 12 by the year 2025. In my view, that complex should be built on the Warwick Vets property, so that it can attach to the municipal recreation complex and library as a center of recreation and education for the city. It would include a large auditorium for general city use as well as school use, it would contain the offices of school administration, and it would create other synergies for municipal resources. It would be a building geared toward the needs of 2050, not 1950. At the same time, we should continue to rationalize the elementary schools to the current and future population, but we should not depart from the overall model of neighborhood elementary education that has been a prized hallmark of Warwick Public Schools. We can likely re-purpose the existing elementary facilities rather than start from scratch, but we will need to move kids around quite a bit as we rebuild one school and close down the next. I'm not sure of the number, but I expect by 2025 we would end up with a total of 10 elementary schools, all new or rebuilt.
This will cost a ton of money and require a heavy commitment by Warwick's residents and businesses. But it's necessary if Warwick is going to survive as the city we know and love. And in the long-term, it will pay the same type of dividends that we have long enjoyed from the investments of the last century.
I don't have all the answers, and I am quite sure there are other possible solutions. But I am also quite sure that no good solution is based on minor improvement, rather than major overhaul. And I am also quite sure that no good solution is currently percolating within the interim school administration. Yet, I am sure that with the new leadership that I can only hope is on its way, we will have a team both capable of and motivated toward the New Warwick Public Schools. As my Pilgrim soccer coach Cal Bowden would say, let's get this done.
Very thoughtful perspective from someone I know loves this city, truly cares about its future, and has no other motives. I hope anyone with similar views will take a moment to contact our school committee members. They can't represent us unless we let them know how we feel.
Mr. Shuster,
i admire your passion but a few points. You entered warwick schools in 1981 and then you say "the building stopped". It has stopped well before you arrive in the schools. the last school was built in the very early 70's. Also, yo'd like to preserve neighborhood elementary's on the one hand but reduce the number to 10 on the other. Nice idea but it's not a nice idea for those who lose their current neighborhood school to one in another neighborhood. new facilities are needed but you do realize that a new jr or sr high school is a huge expense that the city has to incur -in the tens of millions of dollars, most likely approaching 30 - 60 million (and i think that's conservative). That has to be approved city council and then by the taxpayers so all i can say is good luck with that. i just don't think the public at large has any clue what's needed for our schools nor do i think they really much care. and that's too bad.
Great ideas. Most motivating line: "Ask around: Do you know anyone moving to Warwick because the schools are in good shape? How about North Kingstown? " It's so true. We have to invest in our schools including the physical structures in order to retain and attract people to live in Warwick.

Stephen Carter Delivers Lecture, Receives Award• March 29, 2008 Share:
Stephen Carter, William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law at Yale University, delivered a lecture Friday titled "The Right to Religious Nurture." Carter, one of the most distinguished law professors in America, was the recipient of the 2008 Senior Peck Medal. Wabash President Patrick White presented the Senior Peck Medal to Carter later in the evening at the 35th Annual David W. Peck Awards Banquet. Click here and here to view photos from the banquet.
The Peck Medal honors the late David W. Peck '22, a Harvard law graduate and New York attorney who was chief justice of the New York Appellate Court and a long-time member of the Wabash Board of Trustees.
In his lecture Carter spoke about preserving an important American tradition – separation of church and state. He began with a story about then Senator Hubert Humphrey who was seeking the vice-presidential nomination under Lyndon B. Johnson and Fannie Lou Hamer, a civil rights leader.
Carter explained Humphrey was a practical politician and Hamer spoke of the will of God. "It is not that [practical politics] and [religion] have nothing to do with one another," he said. "They deeply overlap. Most practical politicians, in the end, cannot simply do what they believe is the will of God."
"Put aside theology, I believe in the point of view of democracy and democratic theory that democracy needs radical, energetic dissent. Democracy needs people of radically different points of view to come together and argue about, worry about, talk about, and negotiate about the best answers to this or that problem."
Carter gave many examples through history of religiously faithful demanding changes in politics such as the civil rights movement, the women's suffrage movement, and the early progressive movement.
"The purpose of the role of separation was entirely to protect the ability of the religious to nurture meaning among themselves without the interference of the larger society in which they were in imbedded – except in time of emergency.
"The cleanest way to look at the separation of church and state then is the separation of church and state protects the church from the state and prohibits the state from interfering in the realm of the church except for times of emergency."
He concluded his lecture to a packed room talking about the "heart of democracy."
"What makes a democracy a democracy is our willingness to look at our fellow citizens, including those with which we have sharp disagreements, as co-equal citizens worth listening to as well as talking to."

The Institutional Member (IM) Programme was officially launched in 2004. The goal was to provide a mechanism by which, on the one hand, the Society could develop its programmes in conjunction with universities and, on the other hand, universities could have formal and direct input into the strategic orientation and governance of the Society. In addition, this closer relationship would facilitate the nomination of new Fellows from all Canadian universities, and would provide a home for the Society to sponsor scholarly activities at institutions of all sizes in all provinces across Canada, offering a substantive set of benefits to member institutions.
Since 2004, the Institutional Membership of the Society has continued to grow in number and expand in scope. Today the following organizations are Institutional Members of the Society.

− If possible, add an image of your organism to the title page.
− Summarize the major points (including Intro, material and methods, and results).
− The abstract must be 100-250 words (count them!) and it should be written in complete sentences after the entire report is completed.
− *The introduction should be a clear and concise introduction to the major topics of your research.
− *It should have citations of papers/articles that support and relate the topics being discussed.
Materials and Methods
− *Describe the materials used in sentences (NOT LISTS).
− *How were materials used for the experimental and control conditions?
− *How were measurements made?
− Provide enough detail that someone reading your paper could reproduce the exact experiment.
− DO NOT include the names of people or places that did the research (these are not important).
− *Please describe the results in paragraph form, as well as figures (graphs, tables, etc.).
− *Graph the data.

Charles Sorber, former president of UT Permian Basin and former interim president of UT Arlington, has been named interim president of the University of Texas-Pan American.
Sorber will serve as interim president effective Feb. 23 while a national search begins for former president Blandina Cardenas.
"Dr. Sorber's expertise and vast background have earned him a rock-solid reputation of service in a variety of administrative positions, and we are extremely fortunate to have him help guide UT Pan American in this important time of transition," said David B. Prior, UT System executive vice chancellor for academic affairs in a statement.
"UT Pan American is tremendously important to the region and to the UT System. We believe that the students, faculty and staff will enjoy getting to know Dr. Sorber as your combined efforts continue to move the institution to even greater distinction," Prior said.
Sorber is professor emeritus in the department of civil, architectural and environmental engineering at UT Austin's Cockrell School of Engineering.
His distinguished career in academia spans three decades. Among his previous faculty and administrative posts are dean of the School of Engineering at The University of Pittsburgh; director of UT San Antonio's Center for Applied Research and Technology; associate dean of UT Austin's College of Engineering; vice chancellor for special engineering programs in the UT System; and interim director of student financial services at UT Austin.
Sorber earned three degrees in engineering; bachelor's and master's degrees from The Pennsylvania State University and a doctoral degree from The University of Texas at Austin. He is a member of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers, has been active in the American Association for Engineering Education, and is a former president of the Water Environment Federation.
Cardenas announced her decision to retire effective Jan. 30. Paul Sale, the university's provost and vice president for academic affairs, is acting as the campus' chief administrative officer until Sorber begins his appointment. David B. Prior, the UT System's executive vice chancellor for academic affairs, said a presidential search advisory committee will be formed soon to assist the UT System Board of Regents in finding a permanent successor to Cardenas.
The University of Texas-Pan American is one of nine academic universities and six health institutions that comprise the University of Texas System, the state's largest public higher education system.
The UT System has an annual operating budget of $11.5 billion (FY 2009), including $2.5 billion in sponsored programs funded by federal, state, local and private sources. Student enrollment exceeded 194,000 in the 2007 academic year. The UT System confers more than one-third of the state's undergraduate degrees and educates nearly three-fourths of the state's healthcare professionals annually.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a photo of the Finnestad family from 1870 that was provided by Trish Hodgens.
Trish's website documents the Travland family that descended from Iverdine Olson Finnestad's husband, Lewis Travland.
The website includes a few photos of Iverdine and Lewis' children, Ole, Peter and Thomas. (Their daughter Anne died 2 months after birth).
After Iverdine passed away in 1879, her husband Lewis remarried.

On Oct. 8, 2013, Dr. Jean Watson visited and toured Adventist Hinsdale Hospital. During her tour, nurses and members of the hospital's caring council had the opportunity to show Dr. Watson how they had put her theories on nursing into action. Among the areas visited were restorative spaces for the nurses, a sibling art area in the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and art carts put together for adult and pediatric patients. Following the tour, Watson made a presentation to the entire nursing staff on "Caring Theory/Caring Science."
Her visit came in advance of the 19th International Caritas Consortium, which welcomed nurses from all over the world and was hosted by the Adventist Midwest Health hospitals.
Caring moments also extend to uninterrupted time spent with family members. Dr. Watson believes these caring moments transform both the patient and the nurse.
Both Watson's Caring Theory and AHH's "Veritas Caritas" Nursing Theory view nursing as a science and an art. Under these theories, caring is the essence of nursing. A large part of the caring model involves helping the patient find meaning in illness and suffering to restore or promote the patient's harmony.

Future pilots might be invited to have a tiny sensor surgically implanted in their brain, extending the fly-by-wire concept straight to the motor cortex. A more palatable option, perhaps, is simply donning a headset, though accuracy suffers.
If using Wonder Woman's tiara to fire up your Skyhawk sounds farfetched, it is, for now, according to various scientists working to decipher the complex electrical signals generated by billions of neurons as people pilot simulated airplanes through an array of electrodes hugging the scalp ("look, Ma—no hands.")
There has been a surge in interest—and research investment—in recent years, and the first goal is not to fly hands-free, but to bridge gaps between damaged cells. There is good reason to hope paralysis and similar disabilities with neurological roots can be overcome by creating a direct connection between mind and machine.
Much of this work involves flight simulation, in large part because controlling an airplane with electrical signals from the brain is more complex and challenging than driving a virtual car. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have a lot of practice with test subjects flying simulated aircraft in the laboratory. Associate Professor of Aerospace Timothy Bretl said in an email it is "unlikely" that systems based on EEGs and similar devices "will give performance that exceeds traditional input devices (e.g., pedals, stick) in an aircraft. That being said, what exactly constitutes an 'EEG/EMG-based interface' is becoming less clear."
Another potential application of reading a pilot's mind might help increase safety without touching controls: EEG-based systems can already measure a subject's focus and concentration, alerting when fatigue begins to dull the mind or concentration wavers.
One of Bretl's students, doctoral candidate Abdullah Akce, explained the challenge of picking out signal from noise and deciphering the kind of instructions from the brain that evoke small, precise movements: Electrodes resting on the outside of the skull capture brain signals at a level similar to a microphone picking up sound in the middle of a crowded stadium. Knowing that the crowd is cheering a play, or booing an umpire, is one thing; picking out individual conversations is quite another.
Akce said computer software can decipher basic commands in a couple of seconds. Think "left," or "right," and the machine understands and responds. But fine-tuned control, the sort of constant input required, for example, to fly an instrument approach is far more complex, and current systems lack the accuracy the FAA would require.
"That decision might be noisy," Akce said. "One out of five commands might be incorrect."
A more promising route to connecting pilots with aircraft through a "brain-computer interface" or "brain-machine interface," as they are variously termed, involves implantation—which risks infection, rejection, and other potential side effects. It is a risk that many people with disabilities are willing to take. Researchers from Brown University, Stanford University School of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs are collaborating to create technological solutions to neurological injury and disease. They have developed a small, wireless device that is implanted in the brain, and transmits a much more detailed signal to a computer programmed to translate thought into complex action, such as commanding a robotic arm to grip a soda can.
Human subjects will be implanted soon, and wounded warriors might be back on their feet within a few years.
The pace of such efforts has increased dramatically, note the authors of "Brain-Computer Interface: A State of the Art Summary" (Springer, 2013): No more than five laboratories were active in BCI research in the early 2000s. Today, more than 300 laboratories are focused on the effort.
The press has long since seized on the idea of flying by mind, a concept that is enduringly fascinating, if not yet practical.
"Media exaggerate these things," Akce said. "There needs to be many more improvements for that to happen."
Pilots flying today will most likely never land an airplane by thinking, "flare, now." (It would be a terrible shame if a distraction derailed that train of thought.) There are, however, consumer devices already available that can "read your mind," deciphering some very basic control inputs (or intentions) from the complex cloud of signal that the human brain generates constantly. Students at Hawaii Preparatory Academy made a splash at MacWorld with a scale quadcopter controlled remotely by an Emotiv headset, able to pick out some very basic signals from the electroencephalogram noise. Their teacher, Bill Wiecking, said in an email that it is not farfetched to imagine controlling a manned aircraft this way, once the system is refined.
"Our belief is that this will become a tool for both manned and UAV flight," Wiecking said.
Much depends on what is meant by "control." Using a brain-direct interface to input a destination into a flight computer, or cycle displays, is a very different proposition than using it to transmit rapid and precise motor impulses that allow pilots to safely land. In other words, replacing a keyboard or knobs on a flight management computer is a very different prospect than replacing the stick and rudder.
The Puzzlebox Orbit, an off-the-shelf headset-controlled aircraft by NeuroSky, uses a version of traditional "autopilot" technology to do the actual flying, with signals from a user's brain giving general direction.

To escape the corruption, where you lived, (the hills or outback) is probably the best place to be, minus some of the hardships you had to endure.
There is always an escape somewhere. One only needs to become an escape artist.

An electronic discussion on XML and its use in libraries.
Subscribe/Unsubscribe | NEW Archive: Browse/Search | OLD Archive (Oct 2011 & before): Search - Browse | XML4Lib Resources
The XML4Lib electronic discussion is for the discussion of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) and its use in, by, and for libraries and library users.
XML4Lib is specifically aimed toward librarians and library staff, but anyone is welcome to join the discussion. Those not interested in a library-oriented Web discussion may wish to join one of the general XML discussions.
Posting Policy
The following policy governs all postings to the XML4Lib list.
- All messages must relate, however slightly, to the general topic of XML.
- Advertisements are not appropriate. However, a simple statement that offers a way to follow-up for more information on a service or product is tolerated if it accompanies a substantive message discussing a subject appropriate to the list. Announcements of conferences, workshops, new publications, and position openings appropriate to the topic of the list are allowed.
- Virus warnings (not bug reports), are strongly discouraged, and ONLY reports direct from reputable organizations such as CERT are acceptable. In addition, before forwarding any virus warnings you may wish to Virus Hoaxes for hoax information and how to spot hoaxes.
- Personal attacks such as name calling and personal insults will not be tolerated. Comments that are intended only to enrage the recipient rather than contribute to thoughtful discussion are prohibited.
- All postings must be free of copyright restrictions that limit distribution. For example, posting a significant amount of a copyrighted work verbatim requires the permission of the copyright holder. To verify that such permission was obtained, all postings of this nature must include a statement that this is the case.
- The preferred format for list messages is plain text. Subscribers whose mail clients default to other formats such as HTML should configure them to send plain text when posting to the list. Sending MIME file attachments of any kind is prohibited; to prevent the spread of viruses, etc., any attachments are automatically stripped from your message before posting.
Guidelines for Appropriate List Behavior
The following guidelines are offered as advice for how to best participate in this discussion in a manner that will both contribute to the experience of all readers and also reflect well on you.
- Say something substantial. Simply saying "I agree" (in so many words) or "I disagree" (in so many words) does not meet this guideline. Specific technical questions are, however, quite appropriate, as are brief answers to such questions.
- Say something new. Mere redundancy will not convince an opponent of their error. Explaining the same argument differently in an attempt to make them see the light has not been proven to be an effective strategy.
- "Getting the last word" is for children. We're all beyond the age when we should be concerned with being the one to end the argument. Just because you are the last to speak doesn't mean you won the argument.
- Agree to disagree. The likelihood of convincing someone to change a strongly held opinion is nil. State your case, but give up on the idea of converting the heathen.
- Take "conversations" off the list. When list interaction becomes two-sided (two individuals trading comments or arguments) it is a sign that you should take the discussion off the list and correspond with that person directly. If the discussion was of interest to the general membership you will see others posting on the topic as well.
- Remember that you are being judged by the quality of your contributions. No matter whether you are employed or not, or a certain age, or have a certain education, you can create a good professional reputation by how you contribute to a large electronic discussion like Web4Lib. On the other hand, you can ruin your reputation even faster and easier.
- NEVER send email in anger. Go ahead and compose a message in anger, since that may help you work through what you're angry about, but don't send it. Sleep on it. You will nearly always decide to not send it or to recompose it. There's a reason for that.
- Be civil. Treat others how you wish to be treated. No matter how insulting someone is to you, you will always look better to the bystanders (of which there are many, I hasten to remind you) by responding politely.
- Respect the rights of others. An electronic discussion is a commons. Your right to post ends at the right of others to not be insulted, badgered, or to have their time needlessly wasted.

Does American cinema really need an Afrocentric Forrest Gump? You bet it does!
I could spend this entire review detailing the things that are wrong — or, more accurately, "wrong" — with Lee Daniels' The Butler, starting with the fact that it's called Lee Daniels' The Butler. I didn't much care for Daniels' previous two films, the overheated/overpraised Precious and the overheated/little-seen The Paperboy, and his direction is similarly purple and spotty here.
The title of the film, based loosely on a 2009 Washington Post piece about a long-time White House butler and scripted by Danny Strong, suggests one protagonist, but this is really a father/son story, with the men something like two Gumps, dual witnesses to a panorama of American history. Through Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker), somewhat more believably, we see this history from the vantage point of the White House, where he serves presidents from Eisenhower to Reagan.
Meanwhile, Cecil's son, Louis (David Oyelowo), is radicalized as a youth by the grotesque murder of Emmett Till, a boy much the same age, and the fierce advocacy of his mother, Mamie Till Bradley. He leaves Washington for Fisk University in Nashville and improbably finds himself at the center of nearly every major event in the civil rights movement: at lunch-counter sit-ins, aboard the Freedom Rides, facing Bull Connor's dogs and hoses in Birmingham, marching in Selma, in a certain second-floor room at the Lorraine Motel, at Black Panther meetings in Oakland.
The script is structured, with minimal subtlety, as a series of historical signposts. And the presidential casting is a distracting misfire, relying on stunt selections (Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan) and name actors (Robin Williams as Ike, John Cusack as Nixon) instead of choices that might have more fully disappeared into their roles.
You are free to smirk at the broadness of the film's conceit — especially as one president after another has his heart and mind shifted on civil rights policy via proximity to Cecil — but though The Butler has a very good, finely wrought family story at its center, this is a film more about public history than private lives. The act of viewing sweeping history through a personal prism is nearly as old as the film medium itself, but the particular perspective here is fresh. The Butler is arguably the first significant mainstream film about America's racial history by a black filmmaker since Spike Lee's Malcolm X, way back in 1992, and it underscores what a terrible disservice the industry has done by denying us this perspective.
Daniels isn't a filmmaker of Lee's caliber, but his usual boldness often serves him well here. We first meet Cecil as an old man, sitting in the White House lobby. Looking up, his mind flashes back to an image from his young adulthood — two black bodies, tied together and lynched on a moon-drenched night, an American flag flying above them. It's a nervy image that lets you know upfront that the film isn't concerned with reassurance.
Cecil grows up the son of a sharecropper on a Georgia plantation. His mother was raped and father murdered by the same white man — a harsh but not inaccurate metaphor for the historical black experience in America. He's brought in by the plantation matriarch (Vanessa Redgrave) and trained to be a "house n*****." Along the way, Cecil learns to wear two faces, the one he shows to his own people and the one he assumes around whites, where he's trained to be invisible.
This duality in 20th-century African-American life is the film's primary subject and one Whitaker carries superbly as we see him negotiate different worlds — the ability to blend that makes him so good at his job also impairs his relationship with his son — and grapple with social change. Along the way, the film opens up worlds rarely seen at the multiplex: from cozy house parties with Faye Adams on the box to dinner-table debates about Sidney Poitier to Manning Marable paperbacks.
If the presidential casting is awkward, the film is a much stronger showcase for its black actors, with Whitaker, Oyelowo, and a grounded, believable Oprah Winfrey (as Cecil's conflicted, alcoholic wife, Gloria), given strong support by the likes of Terrence Howard as a sketchy neighbor and especially Cuba Gooding Jr. and Lenny Kravitz as fellow White House butlers.
The film peaks with some rousing tri-part cross-cutting — Cecil and other black White House butlers staffing a State dinner, activist James Lawson training Nashville students for a sit-in, and the sit-in itself, which provokes degradation and violence. Though the film shows some respect and affection, to varying degrees, for all the presidents it covers, it identifies these movement foot soldiers as the real engineers of change.
The Butler's greatest strength is that it manages to be daring while still playing like a big, populist entertainment. In this way, it's an unintentional companion piece to 2011's The Help. I imagine many who approve of The Butler will use it as a cudgel against The Help, while detractors will link them for the twin sins of focusing on African-American domestics — for generations, the maid and the butler two of the most stereotypical of black film roles; there's a little riff here on the subject, attributed to Martin Luther King, that feels like a partial defense of the earlier film — and being middlebrow entertainments at heart.
But I thought the deeply uncool The Help, which took a problematic form and shaded it toward unexpectedly discomforting areas, caught far too much flack, and the at times even more aesthetically ham-fisted The Butler, which takes a roughly similar milieu and mostly dispenses with the "need" for white audience identification, is even better. More essential.
The most surprising moment in the film comes in what we've been conditioned to expect to be the protagonist's moment of triumph. After decades on the job, Cecil, with his wife, is invited as a guest — not a server — to a White House dinner. A lesser film would have ended on this note of conciliation and hard-earned appreciation. But Cecil's reaction and the film's treatment of the moment is complex and conflicted. For this film, rare among Hollywood treatments of race in America, there are further roads to travel and deeper truths to pursue.

DailyDirt: Diamonds, Diamonds Everywhere
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Forget OxiClean. The "power of diamonds" can help clean away tough stains in every laundry load. Nanodiamond particles in laundry detergents can dislodge dirt from fabrics without using hot water -- saving energy and adding some sparkle. [url]
- There's a recently de-classified deposit of impact diamonds in Russia -- and it's so big that it's estimated that this resource could serve the world's diamond needs for 3,000 years. These impact diamonds are twice as hard as traditional gemstones because they're formed when a carbon-rich meteor collides with the earth and the resulting explosion creates this unique material. [url]
- Diamonds aren't as rare as most people think they are -- if you're willing (or able) to travel a few thousand light years, you can find a whole planet made of diamond. A carbon-rich planet that is probably crystalline (and hence diamond-like) orbits the pulsar J1719-1438, and it's the most dense planet seen so far. [url]

The 2014 CROP Hunger Walk will be held Sunday, Oct. 12 in our community. The goal is to raise awareness of our neighbors who struggle with hunger both globally and here where we live. It raises funds to help with programs that combat hunger and the causes of hunger.
There is a beautiful, five-mile route chosen this year. Backpack Buddies and Trinity House will receive local funding. The Salvation Army and the Leavenworth Assistance Center will receive the canned goods. This is a chance to ecumenically join together and do something that counts.
I was surprised last year that only 71 walkers from eight churches here participated. We lived in a North Carolina community in the autumn two years ago and were witness to the whole community coming together for this walk.
It was such a sign of love and hope and caring. Surely the Leavenworth/Lansing community cares about hunger. Get your church involved this year. Raise some funds. Bring a can of food and come register at 1:30 p.m. at Warren Middle School. Get a colorful shirt.
The walk begins at 2p.m. If you need more information or materials, call Sue Hubert at (913) 772-6365 or (913) 775-2068. Sue, by the way, has been volunteering to lead this effort for many years. She is amazing.

Car Review
2013 Toyota Avalon: New Car Review
Pros: Excellent standard V6; hyper-efficient Hybrid model; adept handling; smooth styling; big back seat; plenty of technology
Cons: Ride is firmer than it used to be, and fancier models get luxury-grade pricing.
What's New: The Avalon is completely redesigned for 2013.
What a difference a year can make. That's the 2013 Toyota Avalon in a nutshell. Last year we hailed Toyota's full-size sedan as a throwback to the good old days of American highway cruisers, when cars were about covering long distances in plush comfort. But this year the Avalon is all-new, and Toyota has tangibly turned the page.
First and foremost, the sofa-soft ride is gone, replaced by a supple but surprisingly taut setup that actually makes the Avalon fun to drive. Time will tell whether it's the right fit for traditional buyers, but this newfound sportiness seems certain to extend the Avalon's appeal to younger generations.
Equally notable is the revamped look inside and out. The Avalon now resembles a Camry from the front and a Fusion from the side, with a dash of Azera in back for good measure. We think it's a home run, conveying both classy restraint and a contemporary sensibility. The same goes for the modernized cabin, which employs a sleek, driver-centric control layout and visibly up-to-date technology.
The new Avalon is also available for the first time as a hybrid, featuring essentially the same power system as the Camry Hybrid. The fuel economy is unprecedented for a large sedan, clocking in at a whopping 40 miles per gallon overall. Happily, the non-hybrid Avalons continue to rely on Toyota's 3.5-liter V6, a wonderful engine that always seems to punch above its weight.
While the 2013 Avalon is decidedly different from the car it replaces, it's also better in nearly every measurable way. See if the ride quality is to your liking; if so, you'll likely find the rest of the package tough to resist.
Comfort & Utility
The 2013 Toyota Avalon is offered in XLE, XLE Premium, XLE Touring or Limited trim. Note that the Hybrid model range starts at XLE Premium.
The base XLE comes well-stocked with 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlamps, keyless entry and push-button ignition, a trip computer, cruise control, leather upholstery, heated power front seats with driver lumbar support, a fold-down rear seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 6.1-in central touchscreen display, Bluetooth for both phones and streaming audio and an 8-speaker audio system with auxiliary and iPod/USB inputs.
The XLE Premium gets additional niceties such as a sunroof, rearview camera and auto-dimming rearview mirror. The XLE Touring takes things a few steps further with 18-in alloy wheels (the Hybrid keeps its unique 17-inchers), fog lights, a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert, voice-command functionality, an upgraded 9-speaker audio system with satellite radio, a navigation system, Entune mobile-app integration, paddle shifters and driver memory functions.
The top-of-the-line Limited boasts xenon headlights with LED accents, rearview-mirror puddle lights, "white ice" interior lighting, a power rear sunshade, tri-zone climate control with a TFT display, perforated leather upholstery, heated and cooled power front seats with adjustable lumbar (both sides) and thigh support (driver-side only), heated rear seats, a 7-in central touchscreen with split-screen capability, a fancier hard-drive-based navigation system and an all-out audio system that brings 11 speakers and HD radio with iTunes tagging.
In our interior evaluation, we immediately noticed that the Avalon's front seats are no longer flat and soft like your favorite easy chair. Toyota has added real contours this time, and there are even modest side-bolsters to keep you planted in corners. In back, the sloping roofline still leaves enough headroom for 6-footers, while the copious legroom might even satisfy the 7-foot segment.
Most controls are straightforward to use; however, the high-tech IntelliTouch buttons on the center stack may require an adjustment period. Toyota says they're responsive to gloved fingers and long fingernails, but the jury's out on their small size and similar appearance at a glance. On the bright side, the gauges are Lexus-like in their crispness and clarity. The quality of the materials also satisfies.
Trunk space in the regular Avalon has improved significantly, measuring a competitive 16 cu ft versus the outgoing trunk's subpar 14.4 cubes. Laudably, the Avalon Hybrid's trunk can still hold 14 cubes despite sharing that region with the hybrid system's concealed battery pack.
The new Avalon has really stepped up its game when it comes to standard tech. Even the base XLE gets Bluetooth for both phone calls and streaming audio, iPod/USB connectivity, a touchscreen display and dual-zone automatic climate control.
If you want the Entune smartphone-integration system though, you'll need to step up to at least the XLE Touring, as it's not available on XLE or XLE Premium. Entune uses your smartphone's data plan and the Avalon's central touchscreen to power mobile apps such as Bing (Internet search), Pandora (free customized music) and OpenTable (restaurant reservations).
For those scoring at home, the Avalon offers no fewer than three audio systems, two navigation systems and two touchscreens. While the Limited's exclusive 7-in screen is sharper and features split-screen functionality, it's still not that big, and its graphics don't approach those of industry leaders. Chrysler's slick uConnect 8.4-in touchscreen is a better bet at this price point. But we definitely appreciate the Avalon Limited's 11-speaker stereo and hard-drive-based navigation system. Both are noticeably nicer than their cheaper counterparts.
Performance & Fuel Economy
The front-wheel-drive Avalon starts with Toyota's ubiquitous 3.5-liter V6, tuned here for 268 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque--same as last year. The transmission is a 6-speed automatic. This V6 has been around long enough that we've run out of artful ways to say it kicks butt. It's strong and smooth, and it makes a wicked little snarl at full throttle. The 6-speed is an eager partner, and it's newly able to match revs on downshifts in manual mode. Fuel economy is another highlight at 21 mpg city/31 highway. Long story short, you just can't go wrong with this drivetrain.
You might want even more fuel efficiency though, and that's where the Hybrid comes in. Borrowing its dual mode gas-electric power system from the Camry Hybrid, the Avalon Hybrid is rated at an eye-opening 40 mpg city/39 highway. Total output from the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder gas engine and twin electric motors is 200 hp, which is more than enough for normal passing and merging. Toyota's generally seamless Hybrid-spec continuously variable transmission (CVT) puts those horses to the pavement.
The Avalon is equipped with 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, stability control and 10 standard airbags. The Limited can also be outfitted with adaptive cruise control and a pre-collision braking system that enhances brake response when a crash seems imminent.
The new Avalon had not been crash tested as of this writing.
Driving Impressions
On the road, the 2013 Avalon is much tighter and more responsive than its predecessor. Whereas the old car pitched and rolled in corners, the new one stays respectably flat, even feeling like it wants to play at times. Predictably, the ride quality no longer reminds us of a classic Mercedes, having lost some of its cushiness in the transition. It's still quite refined, but the character here has changed for the sportier. In keeping with past Avalons, road and wind noise is suppressed at all speeds.
Chrysler 300 - Riding atop a rear-wheel-drive platform with Mercedes roots, the 300 is a champ on the highway and offers the excellent uConnect 8.4 interface along with optional Hemi V8 power.
Hyundai Azera - Bursting with features and flair, the Azera is the latest example of Hyundai's transformation into a maker of legitimate luxury cars. But the Avalon's V6 is hands-down better than the Azera's, and the Hyundai doesn't come as a hybrid.
BMW 3 Series - The 3 Series competes in a different segment, of course, but an Avalon can easily hit the $35,000 to $40,000 price range, so it's worth noting that you could get a sophisticated 328i for the same kind of coin.
AutoTrader Recommends
The base XLE V6's generous feature set and reasonable starting price make it a compelling proposition. We'd have to think harder about dropping 40 grand on the Limited, but the XLE is a bargain at about $31,000 to start.

Efforts at improvement have been more or less constant in Minnesota's public sector during the last 30 years, and this is an unappreciated fact. The news media tends to overlook it, preferring stories about government failures. Some governors and elected officials emphasize it more than others, but accountability and transparency efforts in the public sector are more prevalent and consistent than is commonly understood.

1. Generation Enggelmundus
Isn?t it a heart throbbing moment when you first realize that you are pregnant? Well, your excitement may have mixed feelings about the whole pregnancy process. The moment you get pregnant, everything from the outside looks pretty healthy. At this point, your foetus is too tiny to make any impressions on your belly.
There are women whose clothes end up being too tight for them at this early age. But; it is not to mean that your baby?s size is the cause. It could simply be a sign of early pregnancy bloating due to the rising hormones. For your baby to form a nice round belly, it will take some time. Note that every woman is different from the other. Thus, it means that the belly shows in each woman at a different stage. So; the question is, when do you start showing during pregnancy?
To answer this question, understand that each pregnancy varies from the other. Other things that affect this period is the number of times a woman has conceived, if you have had a retroverted uterus in the past, your muscle tone, and the list goes on. Ideally, in the first trimester, it is a little difficult to distinguish between a showing belly and added kilos! Perhaps this does not sound too good for first-time moms. Well, there is more to this. The truth is; there is no set period when new moms can start to show.
For new moms, showing can be noticed in the early 12-16 weeks of pregnancy. However, for those that have had other pregnancies before, showing can start earlier. This is due to the already stretched belly and uterus muscles from earlier pregnancies.
Pregnancy Basics
In the early pregnancy days, your uterus is in the form of a pear. Towards the 12th week, it gradually gets more rounded. At this point, your belly may begin to show! Otherwise before week 12, your baby is only an embryo. Towards the 16th week, your uterus stretches further to accommodate your growing baby. The good news is that in many occasions it is hard not to notice your enlarged belly!
By now, it should be apparent that new moms show later than second-time mothers. Although this is true to a certain degree, this theory is dependent on various factors like body type, weight and the position of the baby in the uterus.
On average, most women start to show in the second trimester. Between week 14 and 17, the pregnancy is usually the size of a small melon. In these weeks, it rises above the pelvic cavity making it show above the waistline. If you have not bought maternity clothes at this stage, you will probably need to shop. Do not be surprised when you notice a rise and fall of your belly size. Once a bowel movement happens, the belly size may decrease.
With the excitement, many pregnant women have, it is easy to confuse a gastrointestinal occurrence with a growing belly. It is indisputable to say that although your baby is growing, it takes time for it to be visible. Do not be disappointed when your uterus fails to show in both the first and second trimesters. It is normal for it to show in the third trimester.
First Trimester Showing
If your belly shows in the first trimester, there are explained reasons to that. First, you may be having twins, congratulations. A late show can be caused by one major reason. Hyperemesis gravidarum. If you had hyperemesis gravidarum in the early pregnancy, your pregnancy would most likely show later than expected.
At times, even a first-time mom can show early on in the pregnancy. As much as early showing can be a visible proof of pregnancy, this can be disturbing and cause fear. But, there is good news.
Constipation and bloating are very common in early and late pregnancy. Once your hormone levels such as progesterone increase, they can lead to bloating. As such, your belly is only filled with gas and hormonal level increase, not an enlarged uterus. Also, women that have less abdominal muscle tone show earlier. This one is more common in women that have had other pregnancies before since the abdominal muscles are already stretched.
The other common reason is the second pregnancy. After giving birth the first time, the uterus does not return to its original size. This condition is what gives the second pregnancy a head-start. In fact, most second time mothers are likely to show a month earlier than they did in the first pregnancy. Eating too much also contributes highly to an enlarged uterus in the first trimester. It is advisable for pregnant mothers to eat small proportions.
Conception dates miscalculation is very common. Your doctor or an informed friend may say your belly looks larger than the dates you are giving. Women that do not expect to get pregnant are subject to wrong dates because most do not track their menstrual cycle. An ultrasound, in this case, is the only one that can prove your gestation date.
Second Trimester Showing
Regardless of the body type and size, most women will show in this trimester. In this second trimester, it is when you will experience major changes in your body as your pregnancy symptoms subside. Your pelvic joints may begin to ache.
Note that your baby is growing at a fast rate and causing a lot of strain on your joints. While sitting down, it will be necessary to get the support of a cushion to ease the pain. For second time moms, the pain is felt more than it was in the first pregnancy.
Third Trimester Showing
Are you a first time or a second-time mom wondering why your pregnancy has taken too long to show? Do not panic, especially if your doctor asks you not to. There are certain factors that influence late showing. Your age has a lot to dictate on when your pregnancy becomes visible. Young moms show later than older moms. It is because young mothers have stronger muscles that can quickly disguise a bump. Showing late is not a signal that your baby is too tiny. Your body type could be a reason for showing late even with a healthy baby.
Your genes also affect your pregnancy. Feel free to ask you aunties, your mom, and other close relatives when they began to show in their pregnancy. This will give you a signal on when you can expect to show. Your size also plays a significant role in your pregnancy. Petite women show earlier than bigger women.

text: The IRT model underlying ASVAB scoring is the three-parameter logistic (3PL) model. The 3PL model represents the probability that an examinee at a given level of ability will respond correctly to an individual item with given characteristics. Specifically, the item characteristics represented in the 3PL model are difficulty, discrimination (i.e., how well the item discriminates among examinees of differing levels of ability), and guessing (i.e., the likelihood that a very low ability examinee would respond correctly simply by guessing).

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I love cheesecakes and over the years I've amassed an embarrassing number of recipes for them. As a young cook, I instantly recognized how easy they were to make, so they appeared with great regularity at my table. With the passage of time, however, my metabolism slowed, calories became a concern and I served them less frequently. That being said, I probably should fess up and tell you, that despite that, there is almost always a cheesecake in my freezer. It's my fail safe for feeding unexpected guests or supplying refreshments for last minute meeting requests. I'm always on the lookout for new cheesecakes and while browsing through recipe blogs, I came across one for a chocolate truffle cheesecake on a blog called Moogie and Pap. The recipe first appeared on the Hershey's website, so I knew that the cake would have intense chocolate flavor that I hoped would meld into the creaminess that is associated with cheesecake. I made the cake immediately and it has been in my files ever since. There are a couple of tricks that will help to make this cake as pretty as it is tasty. To prevent cracking, you'll want to put a pan of boiling water on the floor of your oven. If the cake, particularly the brownie layer, is allowed to overcook, it can be difficult to slice. I make it a point to use the lower time limit suggested for baking this cake because we like it moist. You'll probably have to experiment to see how well-done you want the cake to be. If you like chocolate and are also a cheesecake addict, you'll love the creamy richness of this cake. Here is how it is made.
Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Hershey's Kitchen
Brownie Layer
6 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
1-1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup Hershey's cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cheesecake Layer
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
4 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups (12 ounce package) Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Chips, divided
1/2 teaspoon shortening (do not use butter, margarine, spread or oil)
1) Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9-inch springform pan.
2) To make brownie layer: Stir butter, sugar, and vanilla together in a large bowl.. Add eggs and stir until blended. Stir in flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Spread mixture in prepared pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes , or until brownie layer pulls away from sides of pan.
3) While brownie layer bakes make cheesecake layer. Beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer
3. Meanwhile for Truffle Cheesecake Layer: In a bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until smooth. Gradually beat in eggs, heavy cream, vanilla and salt until well blended. Set aside 2 tablespoons chocolate chips. Microwave remaining chocolate chips on Medium temperature for 1-1/2 minutes, or until chips are melted and smooth when stirred. Gradually blend melted chocolate into cheesecake batter.
3) When brownie layer is done, remove it from oven and immediately spoon cheesecake mixture over it. Return to oven and continue baking for 45 to 50 minutes or until center is almost set. Remove from oven to wire rack. With knife, loosen cake from side of pan. Cool to room temperature. Remove side of pan.
4) Place remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate chips and shortening in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at Medium for 30 seconds or until chips are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred. Drizzle over top of cheesecake. Cover; refrigerate several hours until cold. Garnish as desired. Cover and refrigerate leftover cheesecake. Yield: 8 to 10 servings.

What is the best method in jQuery to add an additional row to a table as the row below a particular row?
I have a data table that contains some values for Certifications. This table can be updated in a different part of my application. On the web page I am currently working on, I would like to have check boxes appear for every value in the data table. I have been struggling with this trying to use a For Each loop and I cannot get it to work for anything. Any suggestions?
I am using the following Razor syntax to obtain my data (I know this works because I can display it in a WebGrid):
var db = Database.Open("MyConn");
I'am using dnamic entity with EF4. On a list page of a table, I would like to display a column containing information from a child table of the current element. Sample :
Order List :
Order Data | Required Date | Shipped Date | etc... | ... | Customer Name (foreign key with tostring() method override) | Customer Postal Code (Column that I want to add) |
I don't known how to do that. Is it possible ? Maybe I have to to create my own Metadata proxy that will add dynamicly a column on the MetaColumn list of the table.
Does someone have an easier or better idea ?
Thank you for any help.
I want to create a new table to sql database at runtime. The column names would be "Name", "Date", "Event". I would also like to have one more column name "Image" but the problem is that since the amount of images will vary, I want the application to count the amount of files in the Multiple fileuploader and then add a image column to the table for the respected amount of files.
For example if i am uploading 3 files in the multiple fileuploader, the names should be "Name", "Date", "Event", "Image1", "image2", Image3"
I also would like that table name to be name dynamically from the textbox Name when the user enters the information.
I have the following code to make a new table, but I dont know how to name the fields at runtime like previously asked please help!!!
Dim objConn As New SqlConnection("Server=<servername>;uid=<userid>;pwd=<password>;database=master")
Dim objConn As New SqlConnection("Server=<servername>;uid=<userid>;pwd=<password>;database=master")

I have a reports table with column report id and and report version. I created a trigger on this table to execute an application to do some processing each time a row is inserted in reports table. I need to pass the new report id execute this application from the trigger. How do I get the report id from the row that was inserted?
I create table:
DataSet data=new DataSet();
DataTable myTable = new DataTable("NewTable");
DataColumn[] keys = new DataColumn[1]; // create column keys[0] = new DataColumn(); keys[0].DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String"); keys[0].ColumnName = "PointID"; myTable.Columns.Add(keys[0]); &nb
I've already solved this problem to my satisfaction, I just want to know WHY it works this way.
I have a FormView control bound to an ObjectDataSource. Let's say our data source is a hypothetical table with three columns: id, name, age. Why is it that when I use the <asp:Table> element inside of the FormView, the parameter values are not set, but when I use the standard <table> tag, it works fine?
This seems like a .NET problem to me. I expect the <asp:Table> element to work in the same way as <table> because they are, for all intents and purposes, the same thing. Am I missing something?
i have a stored procedure which returns three tables to a dataset ..... now i need to merge all three tables to a single table from d same dataset
