Barring another major disruption, gasoline and diesel prices are expected to hold steady in 2006, according to a University of Nebraska-Lincoln ag economist. However, producers are being urged to budget more money for gasoline and diesel expenses as world demand for energy grows faster than crude oil is being produced.
Unleaded fuel soared to more than $3/gallon in many parts of the U.S. in 2005, and diesel to around $2.75 in many areas. Prices have dropped, but hay producers shouldn't expect big price declines in 2006. Even before hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the Gulf States last fall, crude oil prices and wholesale gasoline prices were increasing, says Dennis Conley, University of Nebraska ag economist. The hurricanes damaged many Gulf Coast oil refineries, creating severe shortages and spiking prices. The amount of carryover in the world market is still at all-time low levels in terms of production capacity, according to Conley.
Limited supplies and reduced refining capacity mean even a minor disruption in 2006 will send prices soaring again. Conley says gasoline and diesel prices are following similar patterns. Crude oil, diesel and gas prices are all trending upward. However, world demand should decline somewhat in 2006 as high prices force people to try to reduce the amount of gas they buy, Conley states.
While most fuel prices are trending higher, natural gas prices should go down in 2006. "When the hurricanes hit, natural gas went up to $14 per million cubic feet because they disrupted wells, pipelines and delivery," Conley says. "Now, natural gas is down to $12 per million cubic feet, and the projection for 2006 is around $8 per million cubic feet." Conley says it is difficult to project how natural gas prices will impact nitrogen fertilizer prices. He expects fertilizer prices are still going to be higher in 2006 than in 2005.

Farrah Abraham is proud as a peacock since her sex tape Backdoor Teen Mom racked up far more views than Kim Kardashian's tape with Ray J did—and in a fraction of the time.
"I wasn't surprised," Farrah tells Metropolis Nights. "When Vivid told me we did the best they've ever done in sales I wasn't surprised. I know it's an accomplishment to some degree."
OK! News: Farrah Abraham to Host Her Own Show This Summer—Get the Details
Beyond owning that bragging right, Farrah wants zero association with Kim. "I definitely feel it's an unfair comparison. I have been very successful with other things in my life besides just being a reality TV star. I have books and other things going on in my life that outshine Kim Kardashian," snipes Farrah.
OK! News: Five Push Presents Kanye West Might Give Kim Kardashian
And the Teen Mom says she's doing better than Kim beyond just her career. "I feel I just outshine her when it comes to both our personal and professional lives…I don't see myself getting married more than once. I don't see myself making the same choices that she has made. Good or bad, I just feel I'm going to be a smarter person."
Watch: See What James Deen Has to Say About Farrah Abraham and Their Sex Tape
Ouch! If that sounds harsh, Farrah apologizes. "I don't want to be negative, we're just different people," she says. "I wish her the best, but I'm going to focus on my life."
Do you think Farrah has valid points or is it fair to compare her to Kim? Sound off in the comments section or on Twitter @OKMagazine.

Google Provides Numbers On Just How Often DMCA Takedown Process Is Abused
from the quite-frequently,-it-appears dept
In its submission, Google notes that more than half (57%) of the takedown notices it has received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act 1998, were sent by business targeting competitors and over one third (37%) of notices were not valid copyright claims.Google's point is that these types of laws are widely abused, and setting up such a system where punishment is handed out without any real due process is going to lead to an awful lot of mistakes. But, these stats are worth discussing just for what they say about the DMCA itself, and that myth that the process is rarely abused. From the numbers Google has seen, it's quite clear that the DMCA isn't just abused, it's regularly abused in ways that are both anti-competitive and chilling.

My gf and I had this pretty spirited debate over dinner two nights ago about my atheism. She seems to be increasingly concerned with me (she's catholic) as our relationship grows. I worry that my atheism will grow between us. Or to say, her problem with my atheism.
She brings up atheism more than me and gets increasingly angry as we discuss, while I stay level-headed. The subject of this discussion was "Why are Atheists so noisy?"
I tried to compare our out campaigns with gay right, black rights, women's right all of those things, which to me are pretty comparable, but she's black and got kind of offended when I compared our trials and tribulations with that of african american struggles. I changed it up and only compared it to homosexualtiy and women's rights.
She then countered that we don't need to come out because we can't change anything, there's too few of us. I told her that we are trying to get a wider following, trying to encourage freethinkers to come out.
She then asked something that kind of hurt, she said "Why do you need to come out? Just live your lives like everyone else and be happy with it. You don't need to be so loud about your atheism and cause problems for yourself."
I was at a loss for words. I wanted to express that it's not fair to need to hide, it's important to live our lives but she honestly doens't see a point to our cause.
I'm wondering what you guys might have said in my shoes, or why you personally think our cause is a noble one? I still believe it is but I am curious about what we are hoping to accomplish. I wish I was much more active in the atheist movement. all I seem to do is retweet and come on this website. How could I get more involved?

I agree with Dave at some level that you should be pleasant, viz. his suggestion of a soft approach. As you said, you've been calm and she is the one getting upset. I've been there too with religious people and it's really... telling I suppose.
But regardless of how you come across, remember that on one hand you can be pleasant, and on the other assertive for what you feel is important. Be elegant, but at the same time, don't pander to her projection of what you should be at this level.
Accommodation happens at least on a small scale in any relationship as people work together. But at this level, she's suggesting you betray yourself fundamentally to suit her projection. This is sheer disrespect. If she can't respect you at this level, it doesn't matter. You have to respect yourself. If she goes along, great.
If not. You are you. Find a relationship that works better mutually. I'm telling you, if you let her do this to you simply because you care about what she thinks, you won't see the last of it, and you will be miserable because neither of you will respect you. I hope this makes sense. I don't want to drone even further with stories, so.
avoid a argument, people are hard wired to try to win, even if they don't share the ideals their arguing.
you need to get mean, and show all the misconceptions and problems religion does.
"Problems for yourself"? Sounds like its a problem for her or maybe her religious friends.
Frankly I'm sick and tired of treading lightly around the religious folk, although I don't go out of my way to cause problems, I don't hesitate to speak my mind, after all I'm not the one believing in a magic invisible man in the sky, if anyone should stay in the closet it's NOT you.
This could be a problem for you and your GF depending on how open minded she is.
Does she ever read the messages here? Maybe you can get her mind to expand a bit?
Good luck brother!
I was once in your predicament. Right from the beginning, though, I made it clear that if we were to get married we would either have no children or they would be raised to decide for themselves - no church! She, a Buddhist, and I , an atheist got along just fine by not attacking each other's beliefs; and by not having any children. It did not offend me that she put Buddhist symbols all over the house; and it did not offend her that I did not revere or pray to them.
My brother and his wife had the same solution. She, a Catholic, and he, someone who doesn't care to think about religion, have been married for 50 happy years. She never misses Sunday mass and he never attends. She doesn't try to convert him, and he shows respect for her beliefs and practices.
Your situation isn't necessarily the same as mine, but I would strongly advise that you not marry the girl if the issue will forever sadden or anger either of you.
Incidentally, your cause is noble simply because it is TRUTH.
Is she even aware that she wouldn't be catholic if it wasn't because of slavery? I don't think is fair that she censors you because you're an Atheist. Would she if you were a protestant and wouldn't agree 100% with her dogma?. What about if you said that African Americans shouldn't be so loud about racism because slavery was abolished long time ago and they should shut up about it already and live their lives?
If this is the type of things she says now that she is only your girlfriend I don't want to imagine what would be when she is your wife and you have kids.
By the way I don't think that by being open about being an Atheist you are crucifying anyone or trying to change the world in a violent immoral way. Would she say the same about a muslim woman wearing one of those head scarfs? Or some missionary knocking on doors trying to gain converts?
This is like telling a vegan, pretend to like meat. Telling a homosexual pretend to like the opposite sex. Pretend you are "NORMAL" and people will like you.
That being said I think relationships are about trust, respect and acceptance. Someone who wants to censor you, just because they don't agree, is someone who you can't trust and who doesn't respect you, and ultimately is someone who doesn't accept you.
Being an Atheist is not a flaw. I don't think you will get her or yourself in some deep troubles just for not believing in her god.
We are in the 21st century, is fine that we won't meet someone who agrees with us 100% of times, but at least we can find someone who doesn't agree but is still open to allow us be who we are.
According to the 2010 census 12.6% of Americans are African-American
Also, a recent Pew Forum survey showed that 16.1% of Americans are unaffiliated on the topic of religion. Of those 16.1% the breakdown looked as such:
1.6% Atheist
2.4% Agnostic
6.3% Secular unaffiliated
5.8% Religious unaffiliated
0.8% also answered 'don't know/refused'.
So I think it would be safe the say that 10.3% to 11.1% are at the very least Atheistic in some sense. So 12.6% black vs 16.1% unaffiliated or 10.3% 'Atheistic' isn't really that big of a difference really.
Sadly, it sounds like your relationship may be doomed if she refuses to accept to for who you are. But why come out? And to claim we can't change anything? Ridiculous! By coming out we can hope to increase the general acceptance of Atheists and Atheism. We can fight injustices such as laws (although they are unenforceable) that bar Atheists from public office in some states, we can try and keep politicians from creating laws that discriminate on religious stance, we can promote rational thinking in general that will promote scientific understanding and progress, as well as dispelling irrational and potentially harmful thinking and opinions. There is plenty that can be changed by promoting Atheism and coming out as Atheist.
I agree atheists should not come out. But since Christians and other god believers won;t go back in, what choice do we have?
i think you should simply tell her that atheists, to "live happily like everyone else" as she said, MUST necessarily come out to defend their rights, otherwise they will always live in compliance with EVERYONE ELSE's happiness. the fact that she is black and catholic (hence a follower of jesus teachings) should make it easy to understand.
Tell your girlfriend that we can't "come out" of anything because we never "went in" in the first place. Atheism hasn't caused me ANY problems ever, but theism/religion sure as hell has. Why are THEY so loud about praising god in public, into your ears, on your facebook news threads, they tweet in the name of the son, the father and the holy ghost.....
Why are THEY so loud?! We endure and have the same rights as they do. There's nothing wrong with coming on here all the time and learning new things. I'm always learning something new myself. You can do a lot of things as an atheist. Protest with the atheist community about the necessity of separation of church and state. Be a shoulder to lean on for others finding skepticism in theism. New people have changes of heart every day but don't know what to think...kind of like I didn't at first. But don't allow your girlfriend to minimalize the importance of who and what you are. I don't give anyone so much as an inch, lest they dare take a mile. That even includes my very spiritual wife.
Keath I can't really imagine how difficult this must be for you, coming from the UK where atheists are probably in the majority announcing you don't believe in an invisible sky man isn't unusual or looked down upon. I think the video posted by Nelson has a brilliant section where Greta outlines that people generally tell you to keep quiet about your movement when they start to see it as a viable threat.
I would probably tell you girlfriend that you are an atheist, you don't see any reason to believe in a god (obviously give your own reasoning) but you don't have any agenda against religion, you don't think any less of her because she's religious. I'd tell her that you don't have to talk about religion if she doesn't want but it's not going to change who you are and what you (don't) believe.
The whole out thing (although as I say it doesn't really apply in the UK) I believe is aimed at making people see that atheists aren't bad people, I believe a statement from Richard Carrier fits quite nicely - you love your son, you know he's a good person yet he's an atheist, this brings two different world views together causing cognitive dissonance; this generally leads to alterations in perception (this is by no means a verbatim quote, I'm just outlining the principles).
It might be worthwhile asking your girlfriend if she thinks you're a bad person undoubtedly she will tell you no, then ask her why your beliefs are an issue as you would still hold the same feelings for her with or without her beliefs.
Hope that's of some use! :)

After 10-For-10, Dayton Goes Four For (First) FourPosted by jstevrtc on September 9th, 2010
For the past ten years, the city of Dayton has been host to the NCAA Tournament's Play-In Game (though the NCAA doesn't really like that moniker). Affectionately known as the "PiG," it wasn't exactly a destination to which teams aspired after a long regular season and a conference tournament championship. If your team got into the dance, you wanted to be in the dance, you know? Despite the city's admirable support of their Flyers — the student section in UD Arena was one of the loudest we encountered last season — among college basketball players, Dayton became a place you hoped you weren't sent by the bracket-makers. Even though the NCAA treated it and paid schools the same as any other appearance, you didn't want to have to play into the Tournament. You wanted to be in the Tournament.
The NCAA, the citizens of Dayton, and the people who work at the arena, however, have brought every ounce of dignity and elegance they could muster for the PiG, and they've done it each of the past ten years. There was never anything close to a half-hearted effort on their part. Despite the reputation of the PiG, Dayton made teams, fans, and media feel welcome. The seats were always filled. The people of Dayton embraced the PiG. On Thursday, the NCAA confirmed that Dayton will be the site for all four of the first round games — the First Four — that were created earlier this summer when the NCAA increased the tournament field from 65 to 68.
To this, we say bravo. It's a great, appropriate reward from the NCAA to Dayton, and we hope they extend this beyond 2011. Dayton would get four NCAA Tournament games every year, quadrupling any economic spike they've enjoyed by hosting the PiG for the last ten years. As for the games themselves, two of them will involve the last four "at-large" teams that gained admission to the dance, and two of them will involve the last four automatic qualifiers. They'll take place on Tuesday and Wednesday after Selection Sunday, which means that there is no longer that seemingly infinite wait from Sunday night to the tournament's start on Thursday (yeah, we know, the PiG was on Tuesday). You get Selection Sunday, then Monday to crank out your brackets. The first round begins on Tuesday with the start of the First Four.
There is one final question, though, and that's who plays when. Will the last four at-larges play on one night and the 16-seeds all play on the other? We communicated with David Worlock, the Associate Director of the Men's Basketball Championship, who told us that "was still to be determined," but the NCAA's contract with CBS and Turner Sports allows for "maximum flexibility" in terms of scheduling the games. If TV is making the ultimate decision on this, we figure that they'd be getting maximum eyeballs each night by pairing a 16-seed game first with a "marquee" at-large battle second, using, say, the old 7/9:15 PM ET game windows. Nothing wrong with that.
It's fun to be talking about this kind of stuff. And it's going to be a fun way to start the Tournament, and we know the city of Dayton will get behind it.

Alan Silvestri
Above, Alan Silvestri (L) receives his SCL Ambassador Award from SCL President Ashley Irwin.
The remarks below are from the introduction by SCL President Ashley Irwin at the 2013 SCL Holiday Dinner:
It's hard to think of someone who has a broader musical range than Alan. With over 70 feature films and hundreds of hours of TV behind him he has given us some truly memorable musical moments.

Pumphrey's late TD run helps San Diego State rally for 27-20 win over Air Force
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – Quinn Kaehler threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and Donnel Pumphrey scored on a 10-yard run with 1:39 remaining, helping San Diego State rally for a 27-20 victory over Air Force on Thursday night in a contest that was played despite the partial government shutdown.
Down by 14 heading into the fourth quarter, the Aztecs (3-3, 2-0 Mountain West) scored 21 straight points to escape with the win after missing two extra points and a field goal. San Diego State is 2-151-1 in program history when trailing by 14 or more points in the final quarter.
Kaehler finished 15 of 26 for 249 yards and three touchdowns. Pumphrey had 117 yards rushing along with another 43 receiving and a score.
Backup Nate Romine scored on a 16-yard run and threw a 71-yard TD pass for the Falcons (1-6, 0-5) in a game they didn't know would even be staged until it was given the official go-ahead about 27 hours before kickoff.

Men Who Sparked Manhunt at Grand Teton Park ID'd
JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — Officials have released the names of three men who sparked a manhunt near a global financial meeting at Grand Teton National Park.
Park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs that 27-year-old Jonathan Metzman, of Blacksburg, Virginia; 24-year-old William Wood, of Antioch, Tennessee; and 27-year-old Jonathan Wyatt, of Hendersonville, Tennessee, each were cited for trespassing.
The men are accused of stopping for the night in an empty dorm room at the park rather than finding a campsite. When security found them in the room and contacted rangers, the men ran, prompting a three-hour search Thursday that included road checkpoints and rangers armed with rifles.
The incident raised concern because the dorm is near Jackson Lake Lodge, where Federal Reserve and other global financial figures are meeting.


text: It would be easy to jump on a conspiratorial bandwagon regarding this latest news report, and you might actually be right to do so (although it is probably only a minor and unsurprising one). Apparently, according to a new investigative report from CNN, Verizon Wireless is heavily pushing their Google Android phones instead of the iPhone from Apple. In fact, not only do new customers receive the "hard sell" on Android smartphones over the iPhone, they are being discouraged from getting the iPhone and are also being pointed squarely at 4G Android phones. Furthermore, it is very possible that their sales reps are trained to do exactly this. What inspired this report was a slurry of anecdotal evidence that this was happening at Verizon Wireless stores across the country. On chat forums, twitter, and various other information sharing outlets, regular people were sharing that they went into a Verizon store intending to buy an iPhone but were discouraged from doing so and were actively pointed in the direction of Android phones, (more specifically 4G Android phones.) Because of this, a reporter at CNN, David Goldman, decided to test things out for himself by having 10 different conversations with Verizon sales reps at 10 different locations (either on the phone, in person, or in online chat sessions). At five of them he simply indicated that he was looking for a smartphone. At the other five, he expressed interest in the iPhone and asked the sales rep if it would be right for him. In every instance, each of the sales reps steered him to buy the Droid Razr Maxx, the Droid Razr or the LG Lucid (which are all 4G phones). Here is a direct quote from him with some of his conversations: Interestingly, when the CNN reporter spoke to a Verizon rep about this and asked him directly, he received a not so direct answer, "Our sales force's mission is to ensure customers are familiar with our product line and to match the customer with the right device to best meet their needs," Verizon Wireless spokesman Tom Pica said in a written statement. "At the end of the day, our goal is that every customer is delighted with the device that they have chosen." When you stop to think deeply about this, it makes perfect sense. By pushing customers toward 4G Android phones, VZW does three smart things for itself. One, it signs folks up for a more expensive data plan, which equals more profit. Two, it is more expensive to subsidize the Apple iPhone than an Android phone. This saves Bid Red in overhead costs, thus also indirectly generating more profit. Three, it helps reduce bandwidth drain on their older and more saturated 3G network. Overall, there is no real downside to this plan. The popularity of the iPhone draws customers in, then their sales reps are trained to redirect folks to the "better" (and more profitable) technology. Ultimately, it probably isn't too surprising that Verizon may intentionally be doing this. After-all, they need to do what affects their bottom line the most, (as long as they aren't hurting their customers while doing so). In fact, one can argue that they are doing their customers a favor, because (relatively speaking) the RAZR or RAZR MAXX are potentially a better value than the iPhone, especially if the customer actually wants to use a lot of data, and either of those phones has several other features and functions that the iPhone simply doesn't have. Still, some folks might be irritated by this behavior from Verizon. Share your perspective! Source: CNN

Cats are the notorious self-groomers, often caught in the act of cleaning themselves. A natural cat bath is great but did you know that your cat also requires regular brushing for optimal skin and coat health? For a short-haired breed once a week may suffice but long-haired cats can benefit from daily brushing with the right cat brush.
Brushing your cat is beneficial as a way of bonding with your feline friend and getting them comfortable with your touching, which can make your next visit to the vet go more smoothly. Moreover, the regular brushing of your cat pulls off shedding fur in a neat manner that keeps your home cleaner. Brushing also boosts your cat's skin health by massaging oils to the surface. Don't forget to keep an eye out for any critters attached to the fur as you go. Here are some of the best brushes to get the process started.

Al Qaeda-inspired extremist sentenced to life for killing British soldier
LONDON – An Al Qaeda-inspired extremist was sentenced to life without parole Wednesday for hacking an off-duty British soldier to death on a London street in front of horrified passers-by.
Images of Michael Adebolajo, 29, holding a butcher knife and cleaver with bloodied hands in the moments after the May 22 killing of Fusilier Lee Rigby shocked people around the world and sparked fears of Islamist terrorism in Britain.
The self-described "soldier of Allah" was sentenced at Central Criminal Court along with his accomplice, 22-year-old Michael Adebowale, who was sentenced to life with a minimum of 45 years in jail because of his age and lesser role in the murder.
The day ended in drama when both men were pinned to the ground and led out of the courtroom after scuffling with guards and shouting at the judge moments before their sentences were read out.
Adebolajo yelled "Allahu akbar" -- "God is great" -- while Adebowale called out "that's a lie" as the judge told them they had been radicalized.
Outside the court, protesters from two far-right groups erected gallows and demanded capital punishment for the two men.
The pair was convicted in December of murdering Rigby, 25, who was walking near his barracks in south London when the men ran him over with a car. They then dragged his body onto the road, and repeatedly stabbed him with knives. Adebowale attacked his torso, while Adebolajo attempted to cut off the soldier's head with a cleaver.
Moments after the killing, Adebolajo was filmed by onlookers delivering a rambling monologue justifying the attack as he held the bloodied weapons.
Rigby was killed because "Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers" -- "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth," he said in the video, which was broadcast around the world.
In his testimony, Adebolajo told the court that he loved Al Qaeda -- though he never met its members. He also said he and Adebowale had decided to kill a British soldier and Rigby was the first they came across.
Judge Nigel Sweeney said their actions were "sickening and pitiless" and resulted in a "bloodbath." He added that he was certain Adebolajo had no hope of rehabilitation.
"You decided, between you, and in order to advance your extremist cause, to murder a soldier in public in broad daylight and to do so in a way that would generate maximum media coverage," he said. "You both gloried in what you had done."
Rigby's family said after the sentencing that they were satisfied justice has been served.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Britain and France on Wednesday played right into the hands of Israel's enemies by threatening to recognize a Palestinian Arab state on ancient Jewish lands if Israel fails to advance the peace process with the Palestinian Authority in the coming months.
That's right, both Britain and France are now saying that the stagnation of the Middle East peace process is the fault of Israel, not the Palestinian Authority that for well over a year has refused to hold direct negotiations.
When US President Barack Obama tried to get Israel and the Palestinians to the negotiating table in September of last year, Israel agreed and the Palestinians refused. At the time, Obama and his counterparts in London and Paris slammed Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas as the obstacle to peace.
But it is a tried and tested Palestinian strategy to just keep hanging on, making demands Israel cannot possibly meet, until the international community shifts course and starts blaming Israel.
And that's precisely what happened when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with British Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday.
The Guardian reported that Cameron directly threatened to back a Palestinian bid to unilaterally secure sovereignty over Judea and Samaria this coming September at the UN General Assembly.
That is, unless "Israel engages seriously in a meaningful peace process."
France's Nicolas Sarkozy agreed in an interview with L'Express just one day before his own meeting with Netanyahu:
"If...the peace process remains stalled in September, France will take responsibility on the central question of recognizing a Palestinian state."
Were Britain and France to join the estimated 130 other nations that plan to vote in favor of Palestinian independence at the General Assembly, it could tip the scales just enough to get the motion passed in the Security Council, as well.

BALTIMORE (AP) — The U.S. Department of Education has added 12 colleges and universities to its growing list of educational institutions being investigated for their handling of sexual assault complaints.
In May, the Department made public the names of schools under investigation for possible violations of Title IX, which prohibits gender discrimination at institutions receiving federal funds. It pledged to update the log regularly. The list was published on Wednesday and now includes 67 schools.
Among the 12 newly added institutions are Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland; Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts and the University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia.

NSF Grant Funds 'Collaborative Exploration'by Steve Charles • March 29, 2013 Share:
Math and computer science Professor Chad Westphal says he's learned a lot from fellow Wabash science professors Scott Feller, Jim Brown, Dennis Krause, and Lon Porter.
"They have this magic touch with students. From them I've picked up how to make good things happen on this campus."
The $113,000 research grant Westphal received last fall from the National Science Foundation is going to make even better things happen in the mathematics department. Won in competition with top-flight research universities, it involves developing new techniques in computational mathematics. But it's also a template for how the liberal arts can enrich science, how science can inform the liberal arts, and how students can learn "the human element" of research from scientists as committed to teaching as they are to discovery.
Westphal calls it "collaborative exploration."
That's not the subject of his grant, Adaptively Weighted Finite Element Methods for PDEs and Optimal Least-Squared Metrics.
But Westphal says students will learn that human element—"what it's like to be a professional"—as they engage in an experience most current faculty didn't have until grad school.
He says Wabash students are well prepared for the work.
"Big research institutions focus on training graduate students and postdocs, and they do a very good job at that. That's how I learned this stuff. But at a place like Wabash, the undergraduates are at the top of the totem pole. They're used to close interaction with faculty.
"My challenge is to give them exposure to research while also discovering something meaningful in the field in computational mathematics. I treat them like graduate students and we work on that level."
Westphal says that although the human element of research can't simply be taught in the classroom, it can be observed and absorbed.
It begins with focus.
"In research, you're focusing on this one project. You've got to do it today and tomorrow and the next day for weeks on end. You've got one problem that you've got your mind wrapped around.
"Most undergraduates have never have had that scale of project before."
There's failure.
"When you're on the front lines of doing things for the first time, the process is really slow. You hit a lot of dead ends. You ask a lot of dumb questions that you eventually find out were dumb questions, but that you had to ask.
"And there are lots of little failures. You've got to hit a wall. You've got to back up and move again, hit another wall. You almost blindly work your way around a lot of things. Every once in a while, you step out into the light, your eyes dilate, and it's scary, but then you realize you've found something important."
Westphal says it's best for students to experience such failure in the relatively safe environment of Wabash. Most important, he says, they must learn that "science is a team sport."
"You have to be able to concentrate alone, but you've also got to be able to work in groups and communicate. The process works the best when you have two or three people working together. You talk through ideas. You get confused. You say, 'What did we do last time we had something like this?' You feed off of each other."
Working with Westphal, students learn that "there are people behind all this stuff.
"We'll go to conferences, meet other scientists, or we'll go through journals and I'll say, 'This guy here, he's a big player.' It sounds like gossip, but you've got to know these things. You've got to know how to navigate, to know what research groups are putting out good work we need to be paying attention to and understanding.
"What we do at Wabash—and in my experience is done best at schools like Wabash—is to get undergraduates really plugged into the research process, to make them real 'boots on the ground' where they're working on open-ended problems."
Westphal's open-ended problem is in computational math.
He and his students aim to design a new class of robust adaptive algorithms with potential applications in fluid mechanics, and weather and climate modeling, among many others.
"What drives me is finding the reason why things often don't work the way that they're supposed to, and then figuring out what the problems are, and how to solve those in an elegant way," Westphal says.
For the next three years, thanks to the NSF grant, two students for each of the next three summers will be figuring out problems with him, solving them in an elegant way, and learning how to be scientists in the best liberal arts tradition.

A few days ago my oldest grandson, Aaron, who often amazes me with his perception and generosity, said he didn't need as many toys for Christmas this year because there were a lot of children who had a lot less.
I think he's figuring out that the shine on a new toy truck soon wears off; the smell of a new baseball glove fades quickly away; and the thrill of a new video game wanes after it's mastered. The warmth that comes from giving to someone else, however, is tangible for as long as memory endures. The gift blesses the giver.
Aaron reminded me of when Christmas was simpler.
Money was not an abundant commodity in our textile industry economy back in the 1950s and '60s. But mom and dad always managed Christmas.
I remember being excited Christmas Eve and don't ever recall being disappointed Christmas morning. I suppose I was just as greedy as any other seven or eight year old kid but a new yo-yo, a tool chest, or a ball seemed to be enough. And the stockings hung on the chimney contained exotic things—Brazil nuts, English walnuts, and enough candy to gum up our works for days.
But looking back from the elevated perspective of 50 some years later, it's not the stuff I got on Christmas morning that I remember most. I remember doing things.
Like shopping for my three brothers and a sister at the five-and-dime with just a handful of quarters. I could occasionally find a book for 30 cents or less, and we all cherished books. Still do. But even then, even in the thriftiest of thrift stores, finding a good gift for a handful of change was challenging and it was always a joy to find something I knew one of my siblings would enjoy.
We were Southern Baptist so were accustomed to being in church at least three times a week under normal circumstances and considerably more often than that in the weeks before Christmas—practicing for the Christmas pageant, Sunday school Christmas parties (co-ed but no dancing), and youth meetings.
I remember helping fill Christmas fruit baskets a few hours before the Christmas Eve service and then being allowed to hand them out as folks filed out of church. Most adults in the church rarely treated us as kids but involved us in what needed to be done.
We had special offerings at church and at school for folks who had even less than most of the citizens of a community in which few were what anyone would have considered well off. I would have felt miserly if I had not contributed a few cents or a can of soup or beans.
Those opportunities are still available, but back then it was just part of the community, part of belonging and contributing to make things better for someone, maybe someone we didn't know or perhaps the elderly lady down the road who needed help and was too proud to ask.
Taking her a sack of groceries may have fed her for a week; paying her fuel bill may have kept her warm through the winter; and someone's kindness at Christmas may have made her feel better about her neighbors. But I'm guessing that the real gift was the warm spot in the heart of whoever recognized the opportunity to give.
I think my grandsons, Aaron and Hunter, too, are figuring that out.
Merry Christmas.

Donnerstag's seven different weights give it a great deal of versatility, from its beefy and masculine black weight to the delicate and feminine hairline. Because of Donnerstag's width, this typeface is best used for logotypes, headlines or short blocks of text. More…
Donnerstag includes many useful OpenType features, including a set of upright italic swash alternates, ligatures, small caps, fractions and old style figures, alternates for the ball terminals and simplified characters for titling.
OpenType-capable applications such as the Adobe suite or Quark can take full advantage of automatically replacing ligatures and alternates. This family also includes the glyphs to support a wide range of latin based languages.
For complementary companions, be sure to check out the rest of the typeface super family, also available from insigne.

Results of the 2013 Fellowship Match showed that members of the Einstein/Montefiore Internal Medicine Residency Program were strongly placed into fellowship programs for the coming year, and the Department of Medicine did very well attracting and matching both external and internal residents into its fellowship programs.
Following is the list of Internal Medicine residents' matches by institution and subspecialty:
"Congratulations to our residents, and our sincere thanks to our Program Director Dr. Ro Conigliaro; to our Firm Leaders Bettina Fries, Sheira Schlair, and Lauren Shapiro; and to the Assistant Firm Leaders and key faculty for all of their mentoring, teaching, guidance, and efforts," said Dr. Victor Schuster, Chairman of the Department of Medicine.
While nationally a number of fellowship spots went unfilled, particularly in the areas of Infectious Diseases and Nephrology, Einstein/Montefiore Department of Medicine fellowships were 100% competitively matched.
The subspecialties and the number of fellows matriculated are as follows:
"My thanks to the fellowship directors, the division chiefs, and the faculty for creating and sustaining such vital and attractive subspecialty training programs," said Dr. Schuster.

BurdaStyle Sewing Vintage Modern Contest 2013 - Feathers Wil...
Added Feb 15, 2013
by MojoHollz
My Home, Oklahom...
I was so excited when I heard about this contest and I instantly had plans for the faux ostrich I had acquired recently. I really love the simplicity, elegance and femininity of the vintage silhouette so I decided to keep my pattern simple and stick to the Elizabeth Gathered Waist Dress. I do not usually make a muslin but from the beginning realized I would have to as my fabric would not be very forgiving if I would have to pull seams out. Having seen so many peplums running around I knew I had to have one and thought separates would be a good option for this outfit, I also thought this would be the perfect opportunity to do a Peter Pan collar as well. I did not want to minimize the options for accessorizing so I made the Peter Pan collar removable.
When I decided to go with the faux ostrich I knew I wanted to use a color for the skirt. Since Emerald seems to be in this year and green is one of my favorite colors I knew the skirt had to be green. I did not want it to stand out obnoxiously though so I used an overlay to minimize the severity of the color. While visiting my parents in California we made a road trip to the Mood fabrics in LA. (I am a big fan of Project Runway and have always wanted to go to Mood. It is the sister store to the one on Project Runway and it was awesome!) While at Mood I found this great metallic green polyester knit and a fabulous spandex mesh to go over it. The sequin fabric I had in my stash, though I had to cut each row off separately in order to sew on, bit of a pain but worth it! I think it makes a great LBD too!
Thank you to my good friend Deanna for taking the pictures!
I am very pleased with how it truned out and I can't wait to wear it out with my husband
• Made Bodice and dress as separates
• Used instructions for Lillian Blouse for raising the neckline.
• Added self-drafted removable Peter Pan collar.
• Attached each row of sequins to the collar separately.
• Had to make 2 pieces for the back instead of one to account for the zipper (having changed the neckline I wouldn't be able to fit my head through otherwise).
• Used French seams on the mesh.
• Removed 32 of fullness from the skirt.
• Fully lined both bodice and skirt.
• Added a peplum to the blouse, used flounce pattern piece number 6 from the Drop Waist Dress for the peplum. I made one single piece for the front and two pieces for the back (to account for the zipper).
• The faux ostrich I used for the bodice was a bit thin and had a tiny bit of stretch to it so I used a light weight fusible interfacing to give it some stability (I did not interface the peplum pieces).
• Belt has fabric base with feathers sewn directly onto it.
• I made all the accessories (hair piece, purse, earrings, necklaces, bracelet and revamped the shoes to match)
Material Notes
My main fabrics were very unforgivein, infact I would say they liked to hold grudges because pulling stitches out of them was nearly impossible. So I knew I had to make a muslin to do all of my fitting on and I am soooo happy I did!

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The MIT men's soccer held off Springfield College for a 1-0 victory in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) contest on Saturday. With the win, the Engineers improved to 7-5 on the year and 2-1 in conference play while the Pride's ledger lowered to 4-7-1 overall and 1-3 in NEWMAC play.
In a game that was played primarily in the midfield, MIT scored the lone goal of the contest with 28:53 minutes left to play in the second half. After a strong throw-in, MIT sophomore Zachary Kabelac made a perfect pass to the center of the box. Freshman Ben Lewis made no mistake as he tapped home the goal to give the visitors a 1-0 lead it would not relinquish.
Springfield ended the game with an 8-7 advantage in shots, while the Engineers owned an 8-5 edge in corner kicks. Dylan Rankin needed to make just one save en route to the shutout win for MIT, while Chris Walton returned to the net for Springfield and made a pair of saves in the loss.

EAST FLAT ROCK — Two runs in 14 innings. It's little wonder Henderson County Post 77's 2013 season-opening doubleheader with Post 45 out of Inman (S.C.) ended with sweep on the wrong side of the win-loss column for the home team.
Post 45 used dominant pitching to hold Post 77 to three hits in the first game and six in the second on its way to 3-0 and 10-2 victories on Monday at East Henderson High School.
In the opener, Inman starter Matthew Justice and reliever Jordan Edney combined to whiff eight without walking a batter as Post 77 managed to get only a single runner as far as second base. The tepid offensive showing wasted Henderson County's own fine pitching, as starter Cameron Crisp and reliever Austin Fisher surrendered just four hits of their own.
Inman scratched the game's first run across in the fourth when Josh Bradley singled and stole second to set the table for Chris Stewart's two-out RBI single. Stewart's double in the second keyed two more in the seventh.
In the second game, a slugfest seemed to be in the works when both teams scored two in the first inning, but from that point on three Post 45 pitchers blanked Post 77 the rest of the way, while Inman's bats came alive with 12 hits that led to two runs in the third and five in the fifth that broke the game open.
Stewart was 2-for-2 in both games with three doubles, two walks and four RBIs to lead the Inman attack. Cory Cremonese was 2-for-2 in the second game with a towering two-run homer, while Bradley was 2-for-4 in the nightcap and 3-of-6 on the day.
Lucas Thomas was also 2-for-4 in the second game.
Thomas Waddell's run-scoring double was Henderson County's only extra-base hit in the second game compared to eight for Inman. Fisher was 2-for-2 for Post 77 in the nightcap, and Carson Smith was 2-for-6 on the night.
Henderson County, playing short-handed because four players are still competing with Hendersonville High School in the 1-A state playoffs, will travel to Inman for another doubleheader today. The first pitch is slated for 6 p.m.

Science writers are clever.
Whenever they want to impress upon a reader that a very long period of time is not so long in a geological context, they break out the inevitable blink-of-an-eye simile.
For example, when the Christian Science Monitor reported in a June 4 article that whales took only 5 million years to evolve, they quoted one researcher as saying:
Five million years is like the blink of an eye.
National Public Radio's Andrea Seabrook made a similar assertion in a 2008 segment of Science out of the Box when she stated that the Holocene epoch
…began 12,000 years ago, a mere blink of the eye in geologic time.
And a story in USA Today from 2004 about volcanic eruptions in the Pacific Northwest of the US said:
…Rainier hasn't blown big-time in 500 years — hardly a blink of an eye in geologic time.
Finally, Time Magazine, in a 2008 piece about climate change wrote:
In less than a human lifetime — barely the blink of an eye in geologic time — a way of life millenniums old will be lost here.
The simile by itself is just a conventional illustration of proportion. But taking the above examples together with all their discrepancies, one is left with a disturbing question.
Why can't science writers blink like the rest of us?
One theory is that science writers are aliens from another solar system and thus have no eyelids. They have travelled great distances in space and time to come to this planet and write for USA Today. This would explain why these writers know so much about everything, but are woefully ignorant about blinking.
But that's just one stupid theory for one of my more inane pet peeves. I've lost sleep wondering how much a blink of an eye really is in geologic time. Is it five million years? 12,000? 78?
The answer, as it turns out, is none of these.
Here's why: Assuming the Earth is 4.5 billion years old, and the average life expectancy of a white man in New Zealand is 78 years (rounding down), then one year in geologic time is 1/78 of 4.5 billion, or 58.2 million years. A geologic month, then, is 1/12 of 58.2 million years, or 4.8 million years; and so on, subdividing time in like fashion down to .4 seconds, the average duration of a human blink.
Here, then, is a proper use of the blink-of-an-eye simile:
Woman-in-Labor: Finally. I thought this baby would never come out.
Helpful Physician: Ma'am, you might think nine-and-a-half months is a long time to be carrying around a baby, but it's only a blink of the eye in geologic time. So get over yourself.
Now, applying my scale to some of the aforementioned stories, I come up with better and more accurate similes. For example:
In less than a human lifetime — roughly six blinks of a normal, non-catotonic human's eye in geologic time — a way of life millenniums old will be lost here.
Here's another one:
The Holocene epoch began 12,000 years ago, a mere feature-length movie called Bring it On starring Eliza Dushku in geologic time.
And finally:
Five million years is like the amount of time it took for my anti-psychotic meds to finally kick-in in geologic time.
Yes, unfortunately this is what I spend much of my time thinking about.

Man who killed woman, child avoids death penalty
Man who killed woman, child avoids death penalty
A condemned killer in Spartanburg County will not face execution after all.
On Monday, a judge resentenced 48-year-old Andre Rosemond, of Lyman, to two consecutive life sentences instead of the death penalty.
The decision follows a ruling by the South Carolina Supreme Court that Rosemond's attorney failed to address his client's mental health during the sentencing phase of the trial.
Rosemond has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
In 1993, Rosemond killed his girlfriend, 42-year-old Christine Norton and her 10-year-old daughter, Amber.
