"Gravity" director Alfonso Cuarón's movie starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as two astronauts having an especially bad day in space is a hit with film critics and audiences. Reviews by actual rocket scientists, however, have been mixed.
Hayden Planetarium astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has pointed out some of the movie's scientific liberties on Twitter under the phrase "Mysteries of #Gravity," while Michael Interbartolo III, who flew the shuttle for NASA, has critiqued the realism of the trailer on the science fiction website Blastr. Elsewhere, second-man-on-the-moon Buzz Aldrin has praised the movie's portrayal of zero gravity but said the shots of the Earth from space looked too clear.
Whenever science fiction movies rooted in some kind of fact hit theaters, audiences love to dissect them; in 2011, NASA released a list of what its employees considered the 10 most and least scientifically accurate films (they rated "Gattaca" the most realistic, "2012" the least).
LIVE CHAT: Times film critic Kenneth Turan talks 'Gravity' at noon
"Gravity" seems likely to fall somewhere in the middle. In the film, space debris creates a terrifying hazard for astronauts working on the Hubble Space Telescope, and that's a real danger astronauts confront. The look of the Hubble and the International Space Station in "Gravity" are faithfully drawn from NASA documentaries, public domain photographs and U.S. and Russian space objects that production designer Andy Nicholson bought on EBay.
For the filmmakers, that kind of realism was necessary, but not the sole consideration, according to "Gravity" producer David Heyman.
"Getting a verisimilitude was very important," Heyman said. "We wanted to give the impression of being up in space and it was fundamental to Alfonso's approach that it look and feel very real. But this is a fiction. It's a story, it's not a documentary. It was important that it be truthful, not that it be 100% real."
Some NASA employees advised on "Gravity" — before shooting, Bullock spoke to astronaut Catherine "Cady" Coleman, who has logged more than 4,330 hours in space aboard the Columbia shuttle and the ISS, while astronaut Andrew Thomas consulted with the filmmakers "as a private citizen," according to a spokesperson for agency.

NASA did not, however, provide the kind of production support it did for the 2011 action movie "Transformers: Dark of Moon," which filmed at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida — with shuttle workers even appearing as extras.
One person who worked on "Gravity" said NASA declined to advise on it in an official capacity because of its portrayal of the dangers of space travel.
The movie's release comes at particularly challenging time for NASA, with 97% of the agency's employees sent home because of the government shutdown. But if NASA objected to the movie in its earliest stages, the agency must have gotten over it — both Coleman and astronaut Mike Massimino have participated in question-and-answer sessions at public screenings of the film, and in interviews with The Times last week they spoke about both the movie's accuracies and its creative embellishments.
Massimino said that, overall, he saw the film as a plus for the agency. "I would go so far as to say I think it's going to inspire some young people. The exposure of it will hopefully get people interested in what NASA is doing," he said. "The way the characters are portrayed is as real people. A lot of times astronauts are shown as stiff, smart mathematicians. The Sandra Bullock character is very human."
As for what's realistic and what's not, Coleman said that space debris is "no question a worry."

"We track everything bigger than half an inch. It comes up all the time," she said. "We've got an equation that tells us we're going to come within X number of miles and if we need to, we move."
And the space sickness Bullock's character suffers in "Gravity" is a common problem too, though both Coleman and Massimino say she would likely have gotten over it by the time she was doing the space walk that appears in the opening moments of the movie.
"More than half of us are sick when we first get to space," Coleman said. "You try to keep your head going in the same direction as your torso."
One of the chief critiques that space scientists have had of "Gravity" is the portrayal of the Hubble and ISS as being in relatively close proximity.
"Mysteries of #Gravity," deGrasse Tyson tweeted. "How Hubble (350mi up) ISS (230mi up) & a Chinese Space Station are all in sight lines of one another."
Other changes the filmmakers made include the style of the visors the actors wear, which were altered so their faces appear unobstructed in close-ups, and the length of time it takes an astronaut to decompress upon entering the space station, which is dramatically shortened in the movie.
REVIEW: 'Gravity' has powerful pull thanks to Sandra Bullock, 3-D
"There are some things I'm sure the nerd community will be getting very excited about," Nicholson said. "We always knew exactly how something would work, but we changed it when the story required it."
In one scene, Bullock takes off her space suit to reveal a flattering jog bra and shorts underneath. In reality, according to Coleman, astronaut undergarments are "way not cute," consisting of one-piece long johns, cooling tubing and a diaper.
Coleman, who first watched the movie with another, younger astronaut by her side, also paused at scene where Bullock drifts past a fireball burning in the ISS.
"I reached over and I said, 'You will never, ever, ever do that,'" Coleman said. "You will not go by a fire and not put it out."
Massimino said he was surprised by some of the remarkably faithful detail in the movie, including when a power tool with the number 8 on it floated behind Bullock's head. In real life, Massimino had put that number on his tool when he was working on the Hubble because it was Yogi Berra's jersey number.
"This shows what it's like to be in space as far the views, the space suits, the look and feel of the payload bay," Massimino said. "It's going to remind people we are still in space, that we do still have a space station. A lot more people are going to watch this movie than watch the spacewalk that NASA does."

A Phase II Study of Intermittent Recombinant Human Interleukin-2 (rhIL-2) by Intravenous or Subcutaneous Administration in Subjects With HIV Infection on Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) Compared to HAART Alone

- How to Read a Study Record
To compare two different routes of intermittently administered rhIL-2 with a highly active antiretroviral regimen (HAART) to HAART alone. The comparison is based on the following: proportion of patients achieving at least 50-percent increase in CD4 counts above prerandomization baseline values after 1 year of rhIL-2 and the rate of change in CD4 counts. To compare the safety and tolerance of these regimens and their effect on quality of life. To assess the effects of rhIL-2 when combined with HAART on changes in immune cell phenotypes and function and on HIV viral load and the rate of antiviral drug resistance development.
The poor responsiveness of late stage HIV-infected patients to rhIL-2 is thought to occur because of low T cell regenerative capacity and high viral burden. If means were available to effectively suppress virus replication, the indigenous immune restorative responses of the host may be further stimulated and enhanced by rhIL-2. The use of protease inhibitors with nucleoside-analogue combination regimens appears to be most effective in controlling virus replication. High-dose intermittent rhIL-2 administered either intravenously or subcutaneously has been shown to be effective in inducing CD4 responses in a number of studies.

|Phase 2
The poor responsiveness of late stage HIV-infected patients to rhIL-2 is thought to occur because of low T cell regenerative capacity and high viral burden. If means were available to effectively suppress virus replication, the indigenous immune restorative responses of the host may be further stimulated and enhanced by rhIL-2. The use of protease inhibitors with nucleoside-analogue combination regimens appears to be most effective in controlling virus replication. High-dose intermittent rhIL-2 administered either intravenously or subcutaneously has been shown to be effective in inducing CD4 responses in a number of studies.
All patients receive HAART consisting of two nucleoside analogues (at least one of which is new to the patient) and the protease inhibitor indinavir for 12 weeks. At Week 10, an HIV RNA is done. Patients with more than 5,000 copies/ml are taken off the study. Patients with 5,000 copies/ml or less continue on the study and are stratified by their antiretroviral combination, and randomized to one of three treatment arms. Patients on Arm I continue HAART alone for an additional 72 weeks. Patients on Arm II continue HAART plus intermittent rhIL-2 by continuous intravenous (CIV) administration for an additional 72 weeks (9 courses). Patients who achieve both at least a 25-percent increase and at least a 100-cell increase in CD4 count above prerandomization baseline switch to subcutaneously administered rhIL-2 after 3 courses (24 weeks) or 6 courses (48 weeks) of CIV therapy for the remainder of their treatment course. Patients on Arm III continue HAART plus subcutaneous rhIL-2 for an additional 72 weeks (9 courses). [AS PER AMENDMENT 10/31/97: When protocol ACTG 928 is activated, patients randomized on ACTG 328 are stratified based on whether or not they have registered on ACTG 928.] [AS PER AMENDMENT 10/30/98: For the 4 weeks immediately prior to randomization, patients must receive continuous HAART therapy. Exceptions may be made by the protocol chair for short (i.e., less than 48 hours) interruptions of antiretroviral therapy during this period. Also per this amendment, two substudies have been added: A5033s and A5046s. Patients who choose to enroll in substudy A5046s must do so at Week 60 of ACTG 328. However, if the patient is already beyond Week 60 but not beyond Week 84 of ACTG 328 when A5046s becomes available, he/she is still encouraged to participate in A5046s. For such patients, ACTG 328 treatment is extended beyond Week 84 until the patient completes 24 weeks of A5046s.] [AS PER AMENDMENT 4/23/99: Patients who choose to enroll in substudy A5046s must do so at or after Week 64 of ACTG 328 and no later than Week 104.] [AS PER AMENDMENT 9/16/99: Patients choosing to enroll in A5046s must do so at or after Week 64 and no later than Week 128.] [AS PER AMENDMENT 1/22/99: A 16-week treatment extension is provided for patients who have reached Week 84 of ACTG 328 and intend to enroll in either A5051 or A5046s (which are currently not available).] [AS PER AMENDMENT 4/23/99: Therapy is extended for 24 weeks beyond the original 84 weeks. Study treatment for patients awaiting co-enrollment into A5046s continues for up to 20 weeks until co-enrollment and then until completion of A5046s (24 weeks). Study treatment continues for 24 weeks beyond Week 84 for patients who are awaiting enrollment in A5051 or who have chosen not to participate in A5046s.] [AS PER AMENDMENT 6/3/99: A 24-week treatment extension has been added for patients who have reached Week 100 and intend to enroll in A5046s.] [AS PER AMENDMENT 9/16/99: A treatment extension has been added for up to 44 weeks beyond Week 84 and through completion of A5046s (24 weeks) for on-study/on-study treatment patients who intend to co-enroll in A5046s. Patients who intend to enroll in A5051 or A5046s and remain on ACTG 328 study treatment are eligible for the treatment extension from Week 84 to Week 108. Patients who intend to co-enroll in A5046s and remain on ACTG 328 study treatment are eligible for the treatment extension from Week 108 to Week 128. All patients who are awaiting co-enrollment in A5046s must continue to receive their assigned ACTG 328 treatment regimen. Study treatment for ACTG 328 patients awaiting co-enrollment into A5046s will continue for up to 44 weeks and until completion of A5046s (24 weeks). Each patient is followed every 8 weeks for the duration of the treatment extension period to monitor for safety and to collect cells and plasma for storage. No substudy evaluations are performed during the 24-week extension.]

Gary police officer found shot dead in patrol car
GARY, Ind. (AP) — A Gary police officer was found shot to death Sunday in his patrol car and three people, including one person of interest, were taken into custody, authorities said.
Patrolman Jeffrey Westerfield was found dead about 5:45 a.m. after a citizen called police and reported an officer bleeding in his car, police spokeswoman Cpl. Gabrielle King told The Associated Press.
Westerfield, whose 47th birthday was Sunday, was pronounced dead at the scene in a residential area about a block south of Roosevelt High School, officers said.
Police Chief Wade Ingram Jr. told the The (Munster) Times that investigators took the person of interest and two others into custody. No charges were announced and a motive for the shooting wasn't immediately clear. Ingram said his department was interviewing the three people and would release more information at a Monday press conference.
Ingram said Westerfield had responded to a call in the area where he was found dead a few hours earlier.
The last Gary police officer killed in the line of duty was Patrolman Benjamin Wilcher Jr., whose car crashed during an August 2007 pursuit.
Sam Abegg, president of the Gary Fraternal Order of Police, said he worked with Westerfield for five years when he was in patrol and that everyone loved working with him.
"He was someone you wanted to have there with you," Abegg told the Post-Tribune.

Extremely high daytime temperatures, coupled with extended periods of drought during the critical pod-set stage of peanuts, may result in a significant loss in yield across the Carolina-Virginia peanut belt.
The biggest threat is from the heat. Temperatures in excess of 95 degrees significantly reduce pollination and peanut plant growth.
Peanuts are an indeterminate crop, and peanut plants will keep on blooming, which can be a good thing or a bad thing. For certain, it will make for some difficult management decisions at harvest time.
Suffolk, Va., grower John Crumpler says his peanuts look okay and mid-August rain no doubt helped the appearance. His concern is the impact record heat in June and July had on pod set and development.
"We lost our corn crop to the heat and drought, but August rains and cooler weather has helped our peanuts and cotton. I think we have a chance to have a decent peanut crop," he says.
If the maximum daily temperature gets all the way up to 104 pollen viability can drop to around 70 percent and seed set to around 50 percent. Southeastern Virginia had several days in July and early August with temperatures above 100 degrees On one July day, the temperature topped out at 106 degrees, beating the all-time record by five degrees.
Crumpler, who farms near the Tidewater Agricultural Research and Extension Center, carefully monitors their weather station. "I'm only a couple of miles away from the station, and several times they would get a trace of rain and I wouldn't, and vice-versa. From April to August, neither of us got much rain," he adds.
The Virginia grower says he doesn't expect nearly the peanut yield Virginia peanut growers have produced the past couple of years, but contends peanuts have time to recover to produce a decent crop. The big concern, he stresses, is how much pod set was reduced by the heat.
In South Carolina, Clemson peanut specialist Jay Chapin says, "Peanuts planted mid-May were 86 DAP as of Aug. 9. Nearly all our crop in South Carolina is in the R-6 growth stage which means the oldest pods have seeds filling the hull, but no darkening was apparent by mid-August on the inside surface of the hull."
Peanuts planted the last week of April are in the R-7 stage which means the oldest pods are starting to mature and show some darkening on the inside of the pod wall.
South Carolina fared better
South Carolina has been the least affected by the combination of heat and drought among the upper Southeastern peanut-producing states.
Timely rainfall throughout the South Carolina peanut production belt has provided ample moisture in most cases and has helped reduce the damage done by extremely hot day and nighttime temperatures.
Chapin says, "For the most part we have been extremely lucky in South Carolina to avoid the most obvious and severe effect of high temperatures — drought stress. Drought stress not only directly reduces yield, but also causes some problems that we don't even want to think about: Calcium deficiency, reduced weed control, lesser cornstalk borer, burrower bugs, aflatoxin contamination, and on and on."
While peanuts can sometimes sit in the ground and produce a big crop, the risk is high for leaving them there in most years. Two years ago Clarke and Cliff Fox had a nine-month crop that produced over 5,500 pounds per acre in Capron, Va. The Fox brothers are veteran peanut farmers and neither recommends that kind of waiting.
The big question for peanut growers in 2010 is likely to be whether the crop will be early or late. Reduced pollination points toward a late harvest season, while rapid plant growth and development in hot weather points toward an earlier than usual harvest.
The truth probably falls somewhere in between. Even though peanut development is driven by heat unit accumulation, there is an upper limit. Eighty-six degrees is about ideal for peanut, and temperatures above 95 actually start to slow plant growth. So hotter weather only accelerates peanut development up to a point.
"Despite the prolonged high temperatures, most of the fields I have looked at have about what we would expect in a taproot crop at this point in the season. Overall, I think the crop looks good and "on schedule". Even in fields where pod development might be lagging, we still have time to make a very good crop if we protect it from leaf spot," Chapin says.
Veteran North Carolina State University peanut specialist David Jordan says peanuts in the Tar Heel State have been negatively affected by the heat and dry weather.
"Dry conditions and high temperatures most likely will contribute to lower yields compared to both 2008 and 2009. However, we learned that peanuts can yield well even with limited water (2008 peanut crop) and this may hold true for the 2010 crop.
Crop delayed
"High temperatures may have affected flowering and pollen survival, and in a number of instances crop development may have been delayed. While this certainly seems to be a less than optimistic view of the crop, rainfall in the coming weeks, combined with good fall weather, could go a long way in bringing in good yields and quality," Jordan says.
As to whether the 2010 peanut crop will be early or late in North Carolina, Jordan says, "We all know that delaying digging until optimum maturity, especially if the crop has developed slowly over the season, can move digging operations into October. Although October is often one of the driest months of the year, cooler temperatures also make drying conditions less favorable if we happen to have excessive or frequent rainfall.
Early digging is completely understandable because so much investment has already been poured into the crop. And, weather conditions, especially wet weather, can prevent timely digging and can result in substantial pod shed and subsequent yield loss.
However, in some cases, like with the Gregory variety of peanuts planted in early to mid-May, digging one week earlier than optimum reduced yield by 12 percent.
"In the fall, we generally tell growers when we think the peanuts will be at optimum maturity and we don't tell them when to dig peanuts. If pressed, I'll end up saying, if they were my peanuts I'd probably dig them by a certain date.
We can estimate pod maturity, but we can't estimate stress and anxiety when the crop is still in the field and so much has been invested in that crop. One thing we can do is keep the vines protected from disease well into the fall. When the vines are healthy we have a lot more flexibility in deciding when to dig." Jordan says.
Manage late leaf spot
Keeping peanuts healthy late in the season means managing late leaf spot. Chapin says even a low level infection (less than 1 percent of leaflets with late leaf spot) is cause for concern and should be treated aggressively. The recommended rescue program for late leaf spot is immediate treatment with either Headline 9-12 ounces, Tilt / Bravo 1.5 pints plus 5 ounces Topsin, or Bravo 24 ounces plus Topsin 5-10 ounces. Any of these treatments should be followed in 10 days by an application of Bravo 24 ounces plus Topsin 5-10 ounces or Tilt/Bravo 1.5 pints plus 5 ounces Topsin.
If there is a silver lining to the heat and drought damage to the 2010 peanut crop, it may come in the marketing end. Despite reducing acreage last year, high yields kept peanut supplies high and contract prices low. This year's crop is likely to make a bigger dent in carryovers, even if acreage remains about the same as 2009.
Across the region corn was devastated, which will likely encourage some growers to plant wheat — if they can find seed — to take advantage of residual nitrogen. Typically more wheat means more double-crop beans, which means less peanut acreage. So, an indirect advantage may be of further reducing peanut acreage in some areas of the V-C Belt.

2 killed in I-70 car fire involving ignited oxygen
2 killed in I-70 car fire involving ignited oxygen
CENTERVILLE, Ind. —
Eastern Indiana police say two people died in a car fire along Interstate 70 after an occupant lit a cigarette as another person in the car was using medical oxygen.
Wayne County Sheriff Jeff Cappa tells WTHR-TV that two of the car's four occupants died Sunday after they were unable to get out of the burning car when it stopped and became fully engulfed in flames.
Police have not released their names.
The car's two other occupants were injured when they escaped from the vehicle, whose driver pulled the car onto a median after the lit cigarette ignited the oxygen.
The fire prompted police to close westbound lanes of I-70 for almost three hours just west of U.S. 35 near the town of Centerville.

New York students taking algebra –– mostly ninth-graders and advanced eighth-graders –– got a surprise at the beginning of the school year. They would be the first crop of students to take the new Common Core Algebra I Regents exam –– based on a set of standards that have not been fully defined for teachers.
In June there was such confusion about the new Algebra I standards among educators that the State Department of Education issued a lengthy set of clarifications on its EngageNY website about what, precisely, they were. Thus, heading into the 2013-14 school year, the state was unclear about the standards on which it will test 13- and 14-year-olds on the Regents exam next June, potentially leaving them unprepared for the test.
The Education Department establishes the curriculum on which the tests are based. Here's the thing: The state created the tests first, and only now is writing the curriculum for the new algebra Regents. The state issues new curricula in what it calls "modules" –– long-range study units. The algebra curriculum is supposed to comprise five modules. To date, teachers have only received the first two. Some teachers complain that they have finished the first two units but have not yet received the third, holding them up in their teaching.
A number of districts are planning to give algebra students two exams at year's end –– one based on the Common Core and one based on the old standards. Whichever test a student does better on will count on his or her transcripts. It's the only way to be fair to students, school officials say. Not every district, however, is giving both tests.
The algebra Regents is a clear illustration of how poorly state education officials –– in particular, Education Commissioner Dr. John B. King Jr. –– have managed the transition to the Common Core State Standards. In their rush to be first in the nation to adopt the Common Core, they apparently forgot that the decisions they make in Albany have profound effects on the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts is about to start and he is enjoying the summer vacation with his friends. They get the tickets to The Quidditch World Cup Final but after the match is over, people dressed like Lord Voldemort's 'Death Eaters' set a fire to all the visitors' tents, coupled with the appearance of Voldemort's symbol, the 'Dark Mark' in the sky, which causes a frenzy across the magical community. That same year, Hogwarts is hosting 'The Triwizard Tournament', a magical tournament between three well-known schools of magic : Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. The contestants have to be above the age of 17, and are chosen by a magical object called Goblet of Fire. On the night of selection, however, the Goblet spews out four names instead of the usual three, with Harry unwittingly being selected as the Fourth Champion. Since the magic cannot be reversed, Harry is forced to go with it and brave three exceedingly difficult tasks

To export edited 1080 60p videos from iMovie, go to "Share / Export using QuickTime... / Options / Video" and make sure "Size / Dimensions" is set to 1920X1080 and "Settings / Frame Rate" is set to 59.94. Despite the fact that iMovie`11 "File / Project Properties..." show "30fps - NTSC", 1080 60p video can be exported and will play smoothly on Macs fast enough to handle the format.
Rewrapping AVCHD 2 video avoids the time-consuming transcoding into Apple Intermediate Codec, which can quadruple the video file size and cause IQ loss. I've not encounter problems with iMovie`11 so far and have always checked to make sure everything is perfect before presentation. BTW, I've not tried this on Final Cut Express yet!
Are there other solutions out there that work equally well?

Economist gives thumbs up to Dion's green plan
A prominent Canadian economist says Stephane Dion's "Green Shift" carbon tax plan is "a good start" that will leave the general Canadian taxpayer "better off."
"The idea itself is very sensible," Don Drummond, the chief economist at TD Bank, told CTV's Canada AM on Friday.
Drummond said that "in most cases" the average Canadian will "be better off" because of income tax breaks and additional federal benefits included in the plan. He also noted that the Liberal plan also addresses a "bizarre situation" on energy taxes.
"We have a fairly stiff tax on gasoline. We have a lower level tax on aviation and diesel. But we have no tax of other pollutants from energy (such as coal). So, it levels the playing field," he said.
Put that in your hysteria pipe and smoke it.

For some, the Oakland Beach Carousel Foundation's (OBCF) annual Seawall Splash is a New Year's Day ritual.
Take the Shuster family of Warwick, for example.
"We do it every year!" George Shuster, an attorney, exclaimed after leading his wife Stephanie and daughters Greta, 9, and Georgia, 6, into Greenwich Bay at noon on Monday. "We do it every year; we can't stop now."
Shuster said this was his fifth dip into the frigid water that he thought was probably about 41 degrees.
"It's not that the water's that cold, it's the temperature and [stiff] breeze that really hits you," he added.
For Jilly Caruso, 10, who was dressed in an LA Lakers shirt and pajama bottoms, it was her first-ever New Year's Day test.
While Caruso wanted to do what her dad Rick Caruso and hundreds of other people have done since 2009 when the brief swim began, Monday took on additional meaning.
"I wanted to help a little infant girl," Jilly Caruso said while covering up with a warm, woolen blanket. "I wanted to be in the first Punk Rock Plunge."
After she participated in the Seawall Splash and warmed up as much as possible, Jilly Caruso joined more than 150 people of all ages and went back into the freezing water during the first annual Punk Rock Plunge at 1:30 p.m.
Although the exact dollar figure wasn't available, Anthony Soly, who chaired the first ever Punk Rock Plunge, said all proceeds would benefit the Angelina Rose Cox Fund that was recently created to help the family during their infant daughter's battle with Type I SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy).
"We had people come from all over the place ... New Hampshire, New York," Soly said. "It was incredible. We probably raised over $8,000 for Angelina's family. They don't have medical insurance that covers this type of condition."
As for the Seawall Splash, for people like Jerry McLaughlin, a.k.a. Poseidon the Greek God of the sea, the New Year's Day swim is about maintaining a tradition for family and friends with the end result being an operating carousel.
For others, it's the curiosity of a dive into the deep on New Year's Day, while even for other folks it's a test of one's mettle against nature's elements like below freezing air temperatures and simply running into the freezing waters of Greenwich Bay.
"This is a day more conducive for ice fishing," mused Ed Ladouceur, a Warwick City Councilman-elect who will represent Ward 5. "There are some mighty courageous people here today."
For people like Doreen Kosciusko and Chuck Hewitt, the Seawall Splash is a way to continue their dream of some day having a real, honest-to-goodness carousel built at Oakland Beach.
Kosciusko, who is chairperson of the Oakland Beach Foundation that has a workshop on West Shore Road and is bent on realizing the non-profit organization's dream, was happy with Monday's turnout and net result.
"We collected $1,200 today," Kosciusko said, noting that 39 people registered but that there were probably 75 or so people who went into the water. "That came from people actually plunging into the water and raffle sales. It all goes to our foundation."
For Hewitt, the OBCF's artistic director and head carver, results from the Seawall Splash mean that the Foundation can move closer to its goal of completing all the horses for the proposed carousel.
"We only need seven more horses," said Hewitt while drying off from his trek into the freezing water. "Every little bit helps. And once we've got all the horses, we can begin working on the mechanism [for the carousel]."
This year's Seawall Splash took on a new look, as all events were held outside because of the unique fundraiser being hosted by Marley's on the Beach for the Angelina Rose Cox Fund.
"We had music and a hot chocolate vendor," Kosciusko said. "Our special thanks to Amy 'Elvis' Beth and disc jockey Trey. He really impressed everyone with the music he played; especially those old Beach Boys tunes that kind of helped take away some of the day's cold!"

text: The objective is to move the tiles into the right place and/or turn them so that a picture is getting formed. Your problem is, that you won't know what the picture is until you solved the puzzle. You can move tiles any number of positions to the right, left, up and down - all the tiles on the way will shift in the place left open by the tile moved. You can also double tap a tile to rotate it 90 degree. The 3x3 puzzles are easy, but the 5x5 puzzles will be very difficult.

Our brain cells are chattier than previously thought, according to a new study. Cells in white matter, once believed to passively relay information between neurons, were found to eavesdrop on the messages they carried and to receive chemical signals from other cells.
Until now, researchers believed our brain had a basic division of labor between gray matter and white matter. In gray matter, neurons form dense networks and process information by sending signals along fingerlike projections called axons. White matter was thought to play a supporting role by producing a white protein called myelin that coats the axons and allows them to send signals more quickly.
But a new mouse study led by neurobiologist Dwight Bergles of Johns Hopkins University found that certain white matter cells form synapses to listen in on the signals in axons. Just as neurons in gray matter connect to and communicate with one another via axonal projections, oligodendrocyte precursor cells in white matter connect to the axons running past them to pick up the chemical signals those axons release.
"There's the same kind of signaling in white matter as in gray matter," Bergles says. This surprising finding may explain why previous studies suggest that learning new skills increases the amount of myelin in specific regions of white matter. Scientists have long known that when we learn, our brain forms new synaptic connections among gray matter neurons to maximize information transfer—much like building new lanes on an increasingly busy highway. White matter could respond similarly, ramping up myelin production and raising the speed limit along certain routes. Although it is not yet known exactly how this myelin buildup takes place, these results suggest that white matter could be picking up "go" or "stop" signals from axons, directing the myelination process and setting the optimal speed for information transfer in our brain.

Justin Bieber is finally getting attention for something other than his likely-rekindled relationship with Selena Gomez. The cute Canadian is releasing an outtake track from 'Believe' called 'Make You Believe.'
The song is reminiscent of Justin Timberlake — but don't tell Biebs that or he may get mad. (We mean it as a compliment!) It's an electronic, synth-heavy club banger that would likely appeal to his slightly older Beliebers. "I can't make you promises," he sings, "but I'll make you believe." Bieber even gets a little suggestive, telling the object of his affection, "I'm gonna touch you when the beat drops / Right there." Ow ow!
The hook of the catchy tune is similar to the theme Biebs carried at the 2012 American Music Awards. Upon accepting his win for Artist of the Year, he got emotional, telling his Beliebers, "It's hard growing up with everyone watching me, and I want to say that as long as you guys keep believing in me, I'm gonna always make you proud."
The song is catchy enough for radio, but at 1:55, it may have been too short to release as a single, which may explain why it was scrapped from the final album. The track is currently being given away on Bieber's webstore as a special gift with purchases. It'll be a nice addition to any Belieber's Black Friday shopping basket.

This is my ____ face
I don't know what to get for my guy. He's the type who doesn't have that great of a romantic streak and no initiative. ;_; Suggestions? He's a computer science major who enjoys math, debates, and philosophy. He is also Japanese, so he can has an easier time with getting imports and he refuses to read/watch English versions of anime and manga. I do not want to encourage him in 2-D world or nerdy direction.
Edit: We have physical impossibilities, namely being in two different countries on opposite coasts of the continent.

Power of the Damager
I'm going to make a bomb shaped like a heart that explodes into tar and feathers and give it to the first person I see.
Seriously, I never cared much for this holiday. OR any holidays. Good deeds and celebration should be spontaneous and thoughtful. Things like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine's Day make it seem like an annual obligation. I won't give a gift to someone on Christmas; I'll just give them a gift.
Don't understand humans worth a damn. xD

On the other hand, "Hallmark Holidays" like Valentine's Day and Sweetest's Day are horse shit. If you love someone, you give them a gift. The fact that a corporation tries to make people feel obligated to express their love through monetary donations on a random day of the year is ridiculous.
Yes, I'm single this Valentines Day; yes I've had a girlfriend on Valentines Day before; no, we didn't exchange gifts. I give gifts to my girlfriends all the time (expensive dinners excluded, though they probably shouldn't be), so I don't find it necessary to give something on this particular day. Want to spend some time together, sure. Perhaps go to dinner, like we would any other time, OK. But spend exorbitant and extraneous amounts of money because its "Valentines Day," no thank you.

I dont celebrate Valentine Day ..... Every year its the same story >_< Bleh =/
Every year around Vday I get Dumped or break up . Its been going on for the past 4 years and its become a tradition . If I am in a healthy relationship I dread the word VDAY as around Vday the relationship fails . The failing of the Relationship has nothing actually to do with vday .
So same as last year I am going to hate on Vday . I dont hate the concept I hate those Lovey Dovey Couples , they make me puke . Every time you see those couples on Vday ..... you feel more depressed. You are ridiculed by the irony that you dont have anyone special to celebrate that day with . That makes you more sad then you already are. Worse you go through notions ...... of how it would be if your back with your GF .
So its a Black Day for me : ( yes I am a bitter human being

Courtesy Springfield College Sports Information
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - MIT closed out its regular season with a 13-2 loss to host Springfield College in a Pilgrim Lacrosse League game on Saturday. Despite the defeat, the Engineers (7-7, 4-3 NEWMAC) earned a spot in the Pilgrim Championship Tournament for the first time since 2001 and will be making the fourth appearance in the program's history. The Cardinal and Gray will kick off its postseason run on Wednesday, April 29 at a location yet to be determined.
Springfield found the back of the net twice early in the opening period. Following almost eight minutes of scoreless play, the Pride registered three goals during the final 1:52. The first-quarter spurt was capped off by a Jake Beebe strike with just one second remaining to give Springfield a 5-0 lead.
The Pride carried the momentum into the second stanza as Pat Cavanaugh scored the first of his four goals after 47 seconds elapsed. Joe Heney lit the lamp and Cavanaugh added another as Springfield entered the break with an 8-0 advantage.
In the third quarter, the Pride pumped in three goals in a span of 1:10, including tallies from Cavanaugh and Adam Ismaeil just 13 seconds apart, as it increased its margin to 11-0. Another blast by Cavanaugh followed before MIT ended its scoring drought with 2:01 left in the frame.
John Kucharczyk found Neil Zimmerman who tallied a man-up goal when Matt Cipolla could not hang onto the ball after making the initial save. Zimmerman added another goal that was set up by Ryan Ballentine with 44 ticks left in the period. A goal from Mark Eaton in the fourth quarter closed out the scoring for the contest.
Alex Andrzejewski and Garth Grove each collected five groundballs while Grove finished with 16 saves. Dylan Roden added three groundballs to the Engineers' cause.

Whatever you're looking for, you'll have no problem finding it here. This sprawling region is home to grand urban areas as well as small towns with more character per capita than might seem possible. There's plenty of room to roam about, and a number of lakes perfect for all kinds of natural experiences — cutting loose with friends or simply cooling off after basking in the steady Texas sunshine.Read more
Dallas, Fort Worth and many thriving cities between have grown into a sprawling area called the Metroplex. Dallas itself is known for nightlife. All the trendiest spots are complemented by low-key hang outs and tremendous music venues, not to mention restaurants for every taste bud in the free world. Then there's the dazzling architecture and spectacular performances of an all-new Arts District. Fair Park hosts the State Fair of Texas, plus museums and art deco galore. The Deep Ellum Entertainment District and Oak Cliff overflow with colorful experiences. And sports fans could hardly miss the colossal Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, near the home of the Texas Rangers, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor and other great attractions.Fort Worth Character
Fort Worth seems to pride itself on contrasting Big D. While Dallas offers plenty of glitz, Fort Worth showcases its heritage and cowboy spirit. The Stockyards National Historic District, National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame and Billy Bob's Texas –the largest honky-tonk anywhere– are just a few examples. Fort Worth is loaded with cultural experiences. The Amon Carter Museum, Kimbell Art Museum, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and Bass Performance Hall are all spectacular experiences. And of course, the Fort Worth Zoo has plenty of wild sights too.Classic Towns
You're virtually guaranteed to find a friendly face and memorable experiences in the area's smaller communities. Outside the Metroplex, delightfully straight-shootin' folks in towns like Commerce and Texas' very own Paris provide a great variety to see and do. Waco may be the heart of this region, and Bryan-College Station is extremely dynamic, partially due to Texas A&M University's presence. And then wonderfully unique communities like Bastrop, Lockhart and Seguin are built around classic, picture-perfect Texas town squares and provide a real glimpse of small-town Texas life.Texas Originals
Have you been to the Dr Pepper Museum? How about a tour of famous Blue Bell Creameries? Well then, you'll have to hit these tasty and fun samples of what makes Texas just so Texas-y. And don't forget the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum, the Waco Mammoth Site, Texas Sports Hall of Fame, Dinosaur Valley State Park and Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, where you could have a giraffe nibble from your hand. These tremendously colorful attractions abound here. Just head on down and get started first chance you get.

Product Details
Edith A. Miller is the result of some serious sartorial serendipity; founders Nancy Gibson and Jennifer Murray showed up to a summertime soirée wearing the same adored-but-impossible-to-find stripe tee. Bonded by their love of supersoft knits from little-known Pennsylvania menswear maker Robert P. Miller, they decided to approach the mill with a plan to make women's clothes. One road trip (and a healthy dose of chutzpah) later, a sister line was born.
