The first installation to be built by flying machines opened its doors to the public Dec. 4. The installation, called "Flight Assembled Architecture", was conceived and built by teams led by Fabio Gramazio & Matthias Kohler as well as Raffaello D'Andrea at ETH Zurich.
Robotic quadrocopters — that is flying machines with four rotors — have built a 20-foot-tall tower of polystyrene blocks at a museum in France.
This may come as bad news for unemployed construction workers hoping for a bright future building next-generation skyscrapers, but it's yet another way robots are aiming to re-shape the global workforce.
In this case, an architect still draws up a blueprint for the building, but computers and robots do the rest — interpreting the blueprint and controlling the crew of robotic copters, for example.
The first public job for this system was the "Flight Assembled Architecture" exhibit at the FRAC Center Orleans, billed as the "first installation to be built by flying machines."
The exhibit is the work of ETH Zurich roboticist Rafaello D'Andrea and architects Fabio Gramazio and Matthias Kohler.
Like any construction site, a safe operating environment is essential. To avoid collisions, the robots reserve air space on one of two "freeways" before they fly.
"The system ensures that while a space is reserved, only the reserved flying vehicle has access — all other vehicles must wait before flying through the space," the team explains in a media release.
This system also prevents collisions with the tower, since the tower itself is considered reserved airspace.
Each robot has a specially designed gripper to hold and place the bricks. The researchers also figured that quick flights are essential to prevent factors such as air turbulence resulting in a misplaced brick.
Perhaps the speed will also cut down on construction delays, giving the robotic workforce another edge over their human counterparts.
The tower on exhibit is 20 feet tall and made of 1,500 blocks. It's a model of a futuristic 2,000-foot tall "vertical village" that could house 30,000 people — assuming 30,000 people want to live in a building assembled by robots.

Tuesday, February 21, 2012 - Jozef, Tomas and Rado - Full Contact
Jozef, Tomas and Rado - Full Contact
Jozef Vavrich, Tomas Strasak and Rado Princ, all very good models, feature in this scene. It starts with a uniformed Tomas attending Jozef. He holds a sliver tray , with drinks and cigarettes on it. Jozef takes a cigarette, for which Tomas proffers a light. Jozef begins to smoke the cigarette as he reads his magazine. He then takes a sip of his drink and goes back to his cigarette, but he is closely watching Tomas. Putting the cigarette down Jozef begins to touch Tomas, on the leg and then running his hand over the crotch. He undoes the zipper on Tomas' pants and slips his fingers inside. Changing position Jozef then works Tomas' hard cock out of the pants, tugs on it a couple of time and then begins to lick it. He sucks on the head as Tomas puts his hand on Jozef's head to gently guide him onto it. That cock is at full attention as Jozef works on it, and then pulls the balls out too, so that he can lick them. Jozef is sucking on the cock as Tomas puts his tray down, so he can concentrate of Jozef's body. With Jozef rubbing himself as he suck he is soon going to be rock hard as well. Jozef is feeding his cock into Tomas' willing move, and then as he bends to kiss him he starts to rub his crotch as well. Tomas is enjoying all the attention his cock is getting and removes his jacket and grabs Jozef's head and starts fucking his face. Tomas wants some of Jozef as well and lays him down, bending to kiss and caress him, undoing his jeans at the same time. Out pops a nice hard cock which Tomas starts to wank as his kisses Jozef's chest. Soon his tongue is flicking at the cock head and licking the shaft, before taking the cock fully in his mouth and sucking it. He sure knows how to suck too, he works his mouth all over the cock. Then he removes Jozef's jeans and his own pants before returning to the cock and balls for more.Tomas then climbs over Jozef, legs astride his head, so they are in a perfect position to suck each other. Tomas ass is spread nicely as his cock is deep in Jozef's mouth. Tomas sits up slightly, so his ass is right over Jozef's mouth. Jozef grabs those ass cheeks, pulls them apart and his tongue hits the sweet spot as he rims the hole. Jozef is keen to get more of that ass and the guys stand up, with Tomas bent over. Jozef slides his cock deep into Tomas ass and fucks him nice and hard. His cock is ramming in and out of that hot hole, stretching it wide as it pounds away. Tomas loves it and looks back at Jozef as he fucks him deep and hard. With his cock deep in Tomas ass Jozef leans over and kisses him. The scene changes to Rado Princ, sitting back, in just his underwear. Tomas and Jozef both rampantly hard join Rado and begin to kiss and caress him. Soon Rado is fully naked too, with his big fat dick hard and ready for action. Tomas and Jozef are both very eager to taste that big cock and take turns in sucking on it. Rado then positions the guys, on their knees, next to each other with asses sticking out. He wastes no time in shoving his massive cock deep in Jozef's ass. He fucks him real deep, all that cock shoving right in that hot hole. Rado then pulls out and shoves his cock into Tomas' waiting hole. He really fucks Tomas deep too and then moves back to ram that cock back into Jozef. As Rado's dick pummells Jozef's ass Tomas is rubbing Jozef's head. That thick shaft is working in and out of Jozef's hole and he is taking it so well. Then the guys move so that Tomas is on his back, legs up, with Jozef astride him. Both their asses are available to Rado, who opts to fuck Jozef again first. He fucks him a while and then pulls Jozef back a bit and shoves that dick deep into his ass for more too. Then it is back to Tomas and his ass gets plugged again, his hole eager to get as much as it can. Rado then gets the guys back on their knees as he is ready to shoot his load. He squirts it over their faces and then they suck at his cock to clean it off. Rado then leaves the guys to themselves again. They kiss each other before Tomas stands and shoots his cum over Jozef's face. Jozef sucks on that spent cock before he stands and dumps a nice big load all over Tomas' face. Tomas returns the favor and sucks on Jozef's sticky cock, to clean it off. What a lovely scene, with all the guys in top form. This is one to watch time and time again, I am sure.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Wank Party 2012 #2 features Paul Fresh, Roman Lysacek, Rudy Bodlak, Mirek Ceslar and Jozef Vavrich. The action continues from where we left it in part one. With Jozef rimming Mirek and Rudy rimming Roman. Who would have thought that, just a few weeks ago, Rudy rimming his close friend Roman? I bet neither of them did. As Roman is being rimmed his kisses Paul as well. Rudy then takes things further, sitting on Paul's rock hard cock and riding it hard and fast. Just behind him Jozef is being fucked nice and deep by Mirek, while sucking on Roman's big dick. Mireks balls are banging against Jozef's ass as he fucks so deep. Jozef takes it very well and never lets up from sucking on Roman's throbbing dick. Changing positions Rudy is being banged by Paul, his dick stretching that hole real wide, and Mirek has Jozef sitting on his cock. Jozef's dick is rock hard and standing proud as Mirek's cock is plowing into his hole. Paul continues to bang away at Rudy's ass while Roman leans over to kiss Jozef while he is impaled on Mirek's dick. Paul and Mirek then lay down next to each other, and Rudy and Jozef change partners. Rudy sit right down on Mirek's cock and Jozef rides Pauls. Roman stands between them wanking as he watches closely. As they ride those cocks Roman sits down and wanks himself getting ready for the cumshots. The guys all group themselves around Rudy to shoot their loads. First to shoot is Mirek, who dumps that load all over Rudy's face, and in his mouth. Rudy quickly goes down on the shooting cock to get all the cum he can. Rudy turns and catches Roman's cum as well, his mouth covering the cock to completely drain it. He sucks on his friend, hard, to make sure he gets it all. Next up is Paul who dumps a big load over Rudy. Rudy then sucks him dry as well. Jozef follows up with his load in Rudy's mouth and, again, Rudy slurps his mouth over the cock to drain it. Having caught four big loads Rudy leans back and shoots his own cum, a nice creamy load. The guys then leave the meditation room to Mirek, who sits down to relax after his exertions. What a lovely shoot this is with everybody doing great. It was especially nice to see the action between buddies Rudy and Roman, hopefully we can get them to do even more with each other.
Message from Bill: Only six more days before the wires come out! Today, I felt well enough, and the sidewalks are dry, to hobble down on crutches to the restaurant for lunch. However, their blue-plate specials were all crap. Geoff suggested, 'why don't you order something off the regular menu?' Stunned silence. I ate at home again. Maybe tomorrow. I'm also going to try to attend at least one shoot this week. Things are looking up, but as long as those wires are in, there's pretty much always some pain, and I have to be very, very careful. I'll update you again on Friday.
Hi Everybody, Geoff with you again today doing the main body of the newsletter. Bill has provided an update on his recovery above, so I will get straight down to work.
We have some really wonderful shoots today. Mirek Spirik with Zdenek Zimola, then Jozef Vavrich, Tomas Strasak and Rado Princ. We also have Martin Jirava's Erotic video and two sessions stills shoots with Anton Verbik and Sasch Borodin.
The castings today are: Jakub Kalita, Jindra Krapek, Jozef Koranda and Tomas Mizera. Some very good guys to choose from there. My pick is definitely Jozef Koranda, he looks wonderful.

Right on, Lisa! The theme I'm hearing consistently from my non-genealogy friends is, "Cool show...I'm interested in finding out more about MY family!" And that's exactly what this show is about.
It's not primarily for us who are already involved in genealogy...it's for those who are not.

Yes, Lisa has it right! Miriam, too!
Thanks for getting this statement out there!!

Thank you for saying this! Exactly what I was thinking.
- March 7, 2010 at 8:25 PM
I am excited about the show because many people are becoming interested in genealogy. Last weekend (in fact the night after the first show aired), I attended a local genealogy society meeting in my parents home town ...I was visiting my folks for the weekend. It was standing room only and at least 10 people joined the club - including myself!
So kudos to both Lisas for what you have done to raise the excitement for genealogy!
(Oh and in case anyone does not have cable TV at home - like myself - or misses a show, they can watch the full episodes online on NBC's website)

Thank you for putting this out there. My question is, are we, those already interested in Family Research, ready to help others.
This was driven home to me last night, when one of my daughters called me, to ask about her research. She had started a number of years ago, but "got bored". We spent an hour on the phone, sharing some tips and tricks.
She is on FB and see's what I may post there, but I think it was Who Do You Think You Are? that got her back to doing some research.
So, there is at least one researcher that was impacted by the show, and hopefully I can help her (and others) find her ancestors.
Thanks again,
- March 16, 2010 at 4:32 AM
I have been trying for decades to get my husband interested in genealogy. These shows may just do the trick. If so, I may owe a LOT to Lisa Kudrow, because if he doesn't find a hobby soon, his retirement will be the end of our marriage! The same rationale - presenting the story of our ancestors and not the rocky path to get there - has given us those popular non-fiction books like Angela's Ashes that inspire so many modern genealogists to search for their ancestors as people, not just names and dates and "descent from royalty." We are at last using genealogy to find out who we are, as it should be.

JACKSON, Tenn.—Five of the combined seven runs scored by Southwestern and Birmingham-Southern in game three of the SCAC Softball Tournament came off two swings of the bat with each team posting a multi-run homerun in the game. BSC scored in the bottom of the sixth to claim the lead and hand SU a 4-3 loss.
BSC, the top seed in the East Division, moves to 31-8 on the season, while the Pirates, the second seed in the West, fall to 24-17.
A two-run homerun by junior Brittany Berkopec in the first inning gave the Panthers an early 2-0 lead, shocking the Pirates at the outset of the game.
A trio of infield singles loaded the bases for Southwestern with one out in the top of the second, giving them an opportunity to even the count. BSC's hurler, senior Ronni Ferris, got out of the jam with two consecutive strikeouts to allow the Panthers to keep the 2-0 lead.
BSC added to their lead in the second on an RBI grounder to the right side to bring in freshman Joanna Jernigan to put the Panthers up 3-0.
One swing from Haley Hughes brought the game back even in the third. Taylor Turpinled off with a single and advanced to third on a single to right field by Kaitlyn Pavlicek. Pavlicek stole second, putting two runners in scoring position for power-hitter Haley Hughes. It turned out that it didn't matter where the runners were as Hughes hit a shot to left field that the crowd knew was out of the park as soon as it left her bat, tying the game at 3-3.
Defenses took control as the game wound to a conclusion, with sporadic base runners and no real threat to score from either team through five and a half. Birmingham-Southern took control after junior Danielle Rucker reached on a walk and stole second base to move into scoring position with two outs. Senior Ashley Bice drove a fastball into centerfield to bring in the go-ahead run for BSC 4-3 with one inning to play.
Southwestern managed to get runners on base but as was the case most of the game had trouble bringing them in as they fell 4-3.
Pavlicek garnered the loss despite a strong outing, allowing two runs on six hits. Freshman Bethany Fronk earned the win with 3.2 innings on the mound, allowing no runs and one hit.
Turpin and Hughes both posted two hit games while three Panthers - Bice and freshmen Erin Lopez and Taylor Bassett - recorded two hits each.
The Panthers move on to face Trinity, the top seed in the West Division, tomorrow at 2 p.m.

Liv Berit Tonnessen needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 103 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
http://www.LivBerit.no (My two first names.)
Since 1994 I have been self employed. Up till now my firm was called http://www.prosesskonsulenten.no. (Consultant in processes). Now there is a shift: I want to sell MYSELF as the tool, and don't hide behind a fancy name.
My services is offered in two directions: the secular marked, and the Christian (church staff/ volunteers/ individuals).
I am an author of a Christian book - theme: how to build churches that can warm the one's that are frozen because of hurt from both life and church?
Everything I do is out of a passion for people.
I don't make programs, but 'tailor' everything I do out of a dialogue with my customer and their perspective.
I am 54 years old, and I highly value truth and trust. I need my site to reflect my values.
I have 3 different customers:
1 Leaders - and their employees. I assist them to grow in their human skills. I train leaders to be wise regarding communication, to strengthen their relational skills and the culture they operate in. That makes them more capable to lead their company/ organization or church by empowering their staff/volunteers.
2 Individuals or groups. I practice as a coach, when they need to be strengthen/empowered in their own life.
3 Parents. I do parenting courses. My goal is to empower them, a really important issue in Norway.
All 3 markets are existing, but I will address them better now.
My desired audience is
looking for change in their own attitude and communication,
because they need a change of culture.
They don't look for the teaching of academia,
but they want/need practical, experience-based teaching,
rooted in wisdom and common values.
I really want the designers to be creative, and feel free to suggest things that will improve my guidelines!
For a few structural design guidelines, please pay attention to the attached guidelines provided by my CMS provider.
I want a clean, harmonic page.
I want the attached picture to characterize the design
No pop-ups
About me, with 'My faith' as a drop-down
Articles (including blog/news)
My way of working with 3 drop-downs: Secular marked, Church and parenting.
Page 1 is homepage
Page 2 is the generic content page, witch I'll use as the template for all other pages on the site (including articles).
The attached picture of me should characterize the page - let the colour from the picture inspire the design. Please don't box in the picture. Let the edges be fluid.
I won't use too much text on the homepage. First and foremost my main goal (a punch line), my name and the menu.
Some articles I write in a magazine will be published as pdf/adobe on a pge 2, but I want a list of the latest 5 articles somewhere on the homepage.
page 2
I want the colour from the picture to be somehow visible on this page as well.
Ab the adobe articles: I want the possibility to add my own articles/news (like a blog) with my own pictures (580 px wide x 400 px height). I want you to mark the title, abstract and body to help the viewer in their reading.
I like a horizontal menu better than a vertical, with the possibility for a drop-down. It's nice when the menu isn't 'boxed in'. That makes it more airy.
Search field is needed
Footer (contact details) Do you need the text for the footer?
My old site: http://www.prosesskonsulenten.no
It is overwhelming! Simply too much - the text is too 'clever', and it is difficult to maneuver.
The colours are not me at all - I am colourful, not brown/nature.
The buttons don't lead the possible customers onto a predictable way. You'll find dead ends as well.
It is lacking a picture of me - but I love my lovely giraffe.
There isn't a blog.
This is aesthetic, a beautiful home-page. Easy to maneuver. The font is maybe a little invisible? But I like that the menu is open, not with a frame around it. I thing the clear blue colour on the first page should be on the next as well.
http://energihotellet.no/ is a good one as well

Refurbished Antique Railroad Scale on Display at Kirkwood Train Station
When the City of Kirkwood purchased the Train Station back in 2003, it inherited a variety of old furniture and equipment, including one cast-iron-and-wood, 100-year-old railroad scale, which Bill found in a storage closet. It was manufactured around the turn of the 20th century by Fairbanks-Morse, a company that still makes scales. Even the manufacturer was unsure exactly how old the scale is, but they were able to furnish some important details that helped in its refurbishing.
Bill enlisted the help of fellow City staff in Fleet Services, and they went to work on its restoration. First, they talked to representatives at Fairbanks-Morse, who donated new decals and provided the original paint colors. The scale was then disassembled, bead blasted (similar to sand blasting), painted, its brass polished, and then re-assembled. Ace Hardware in Des Peres donated the paint.
The Lions' Amphitheater in Kirkwood Park is a wonderful outdoor venue that seats 575, with additional standing room available. The amphitheater often hosts weddings, concerts and graduation events. Contact Kyle Henke at 822-5856 for reservations and additional information.

Serious Entertaining: St. Patrick's Day
Seasonal menu planning for the perfect dinner party.
Everything on this hearty corned beef and 'tato menu pairs nicely with a pint and that shamrock headband springing around your head.
Soda Bread
Even if you don't fancy yourself a bread-baker, you can bake this. Really, it's that easy (one of my favorites from the Wake and Bake series). The dense, round loaf is made with whole-wheat flour, oats, and buttermilk, and studded with plump golden raisins with a sprinkling of raw sugar on top. Slather it with a big pat of Kerrygold butter.
Corned Beef, Cabbage, Potatoes, and Carrots
Beefy, salty, and moist, this is a classic plate of corned beef. All the veggies get cooked in that salty corned beef water, too.
Irish Coffee Ice Cream
Leave it to ice cream ninja Max to create this ice cream inspired by one of our favorite nightcaps. First you taste the coffee, roasted and rich, then comes the caramel to sweeten things up a tad, then the shot of Jameson. The more ice cream you eat, the stronger the whiskey tastes.

ReleasesBack to
Art Blakey
Mosaic released a four-disc box set titled The Complete Blue Note With Sonny Clark in 1991, rounding up everything that the guitarist and pianist recorded together between 1961 and 1962. Blue Note's 1997 version of the set, The Complete Quartets With Sonny Clark, trims Mosaic's collection by two discs, offering only the quartet sessions (the Ike Quebec sessions, Born to Be Blue and Blue and Sentimental, are available on individual discs). In some ways, this actually results in a more unified set, since it puts Green and Clark directly in the spotlight, with no saxophone to complete for solos, but it doesn't really matter if the music is presented as this double-disc set, the four-disc box, or the individual albums -- this is superb music, showcasing the guitarist and pianist at their very best. All of the sessions are straight-ahead bop but the music has a gentle, relaxed vibe that makes it warm, intimate, and accessible. Grant and Clark's mastery is subtle -- the music is so enjoyable, you may not notice the deftness of their improvisation and technique -- but that invests the music with the grace, style, and emotion that distinguishes The Complete Quartets. Small group hard bop rarely comes any better than this. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Over the last 18 months we have heard a lot about the "Arab Spring" and the coming of "Democracy" to places that have not seen it.
Many around the world celebrated these changes. When you considering how horrible some of those deposed were, that's to be expected.
The media and the left particularly where flush, especially when the pro-US Mubarak was removed. I suspect his hard-line on Hamas and the Muslim brotherhood combined with the American alliance caused him to be particularly hated by righteous leftists everywhere. For them his removal was a moment of true joy and fulfillment, and if the odd female reporter had to suffer rape assault (along with plenty of other women who you will never see on a TV) well, that was the price of freedom and still worth a huzzah.
Fast forward a bit and we are more than two weeks into a second uprising in Egypt after the newly elected Muslim Brotherhood president Morsi took dictatorial powers for himself less than 24 hours after he won praise for taking the heat off the Muslim Brotherhood for not fighting Israel brokering a cease-fire between Israel & Hamas.
There are not only no cheers this time but it seems the western media in general and the US media in particular find this revolution unimportant and those fighting it not worth the trouble to cover.
Forgetting all the moral questions in terms of supporting self-determination, kowtowing to Islamists out of fear and covering the rear ends of people like Obama & Clinton who helped these thugs in the first place, This is a crime against the news industry because in my opinion this revolt is the single most significant event so far of the 21st century possibility including 9/11.
If September 11th was the high water mark showcasing the power of Islamists to the world this 2nd revolt in Egypt could be the catalyst of their ultimate destruction.
Consider: One of the reasons why Islamists are so successful is the Mafia like old world family connection. Think about it.
Lets say you are a Muslim who got sick of the rules, the repression and the life and decided to go west. Suddenly after you've finally established a life away from all of that you find a Saudi funded Mosque pushing the very thing you are trying to escape in your area. What do you do? You were already a part of a small minority in the west before 9/11 and afterwards a distrusted one. If you don't tow the line word gets back to the old country, cousins, uncles and family have trouble, maybe fatal trouble, and that's assuming they aren't the ones outraged at you.
On top of that you add the the hypersensitivity of the media to any critique of Muslims. The person who doesn't want to go along with pressure from the local mosque and community knows that they are not going to get any sympathy from The media. If the honor killings, the stoning of Americans in America and Molly Norris can't get press, threats, intimidation and worse from radical Islamists in the community won't, particularly when there are organizations like CAIR keeping the pressure on.
Now take that and multiply it by 1,000,000 and you have the situation in Egypt, in Gaza, in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.
If with the protections that the laws of United States and Western Nations provide, follows of Islam feel intimidated, how must worse must it be is when you live in a nation where a person can disappear without effort, where the authorities are used to being obeyed, where the press isn't free, where you find yourself monitored and where the religious, social and cultural norms are against you to the point where even if people don't take part in acts against you, they either approve or understand?
This is the true reason for the stagnation in the Arab World, it's why the entire area has been one a giant feudal enclave for decades.
None if this is possible without the fear and the belief that things will never change and unless you give in, you will be crushed.
Terrorism is a real threat in the west but totalitarian terror is something these people have lived with for their entire lives as a matter of routine.
Now picture, just for a moment, the image of the Muslim Brotherhood being stopped, successfully defied by the people of Egypt, a people who have said enough, a people so angry and fed up that the normal terror, the normal fear and the normal intimidation and somehow even blaming it on the Jews or Christians doesn't work?
Suddenly the wall comes down, the perception of invincibility is gone and worst of all this happens in the single most important Islamic country in the world fueled by the acts of ordinary Egyptians.
If this revolution succeeds even slightly, say with the meaningless replacement of Morsi with another Muslim Brotherhood hack, that success will be an earthquake equivalent to Lech Walesa first day in the shipyard in Poland standing up and fighting.
It took a decade for Walesa's activism to bear fruit and another decade for the freedom of Poland and the nations behind the Iron curtain to follow. It might take ten times that in a culture that doesn't have the same history for this to bear fruit.
But if it does it will do so for followers of Islam far beyond the borders of Egypt. It has the potential to change the world.
The Muslim Brotherhood understand this. It's why they're fighting so hard and using all of their influence to keep this a non story in the west. They don't want to risk the protestors on the streets of Cairo and elsewhere to get the same inspiration that Soviet refusenik Natan Sharansky and other got when their stories were told in the west.
If they lose this fight it could be the beginning of the end and the Islamic world will never be the same.
How can any person who seriously gives themselves the title of "journalist" let this story go?

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady opened up about some of his thoughts on former teammate Aaron Hernandez today, but he wouldn't say whether they have spoken since the news broke that Hernandez is a murder suspect.
Surrounded by a crowd of reporters at training camp, Brady was asked if Hernandez reached out to him in any way, or if he has tried to reach out to Hernandez. Brady replied that team spokesman Stacey James had told him not to get into anything like that.
"Stacey told me I can't comment on any of that," Brady said. "Stacey told me — it's a good question, but I'm not supposed to comment on any of those things. . . . I'm really not supposed to comment on Aaron."
Brady did, however, speak about Hernandez in general terms, and about his own reaction to learning that Hernandez would be charged with first-degree murder.
"I think everyone had a certain range of emotions, whatever they might have been. But those were very personal, and I dealt with them," he said. "Certainly it's a very tragic thing that happened, someone loses their life. But all those things were out of the players' control here and we're not really part of that situation so I don't think it does a lot for us to get too much involved."
Brady mostly reiterated what he previously said about wanting to move on: Brady said the whole team needs to avoid distractions.
"The fate of our season is going to be determined by the guys in the locker room and hopefully nothing else," he said. "You talk about the Patriot Way, and to me that means mental toughness, it means dealing with different situations and adversities over the course of a season and offseason and how you can put those things behind you and focus on your job."
Losing Hernandez will make Brady's job harder, but he sounds eager to get his job started.

The Old Point Loma Lighthouse stood watch over the entrance to San Diego Bay for 36 years. At dusk on November 15, 1855 the light keeper climbed the winding stairs and lit the light for the first time. What seemed to be a good location 422 feet above sea level, however, had a serious flaw. Fog and low clouds often obscured the light. On March 23, 1891 the light was extinguished and the keeper moved to a new lighthouse location closer to the water at the tip of the Point.
Today the Old Point Loma Light House still stands watch over San Diego, sentinel to a vanished past. The National Park Service has refurbished the interior to its historic 1880's appearance -- a reminder of a bygone era. Ranger-led talks, displays and brochures are available to explain the lighthouses interesting past.
The Old Point Loma Lighthouse is a reminder of simpler times: of sailing ships and oil lamps and the men and women whom day after day faithfully tended the coastal lights that guided mariners. In 1851, a year after California entered the Union, and the U.S. Coastal Survey selected the heights of Point Loma for the location of a navigational aid. The crest seemed like the right location: it stood 422 feet above sea level, overlooking the bay and the ocean, and a lighthouse there could serve as both a harbor light and a coastal beacon.
Known as "Americas Finest City", elegant and sunny San Diego is truly a city with something for everyone. In town, a whole day or more could be spent in Balboa Park, playing golf, touring the world-famous San Diego Zoo or visiting a museum. Just outside of town, Torrey Pines State Reserve offers a somewhat wilder terrain where visitors can view rare birds and the stately trees the park is named for. Children, and in turn parents, will be delighted with the city's wide range of family-oriented activities. From SeaWorld to the historic Gaslamp Quarter, there are events and exhibits to keep even the most hard-to-please happy. San Diego boasts an array of fine and trendy restaurants covering a melting pot of cuisines, world-class shopping and hotels from lavish to budget. San Diego is the eighth largest city in the United Sates and the second largest city in California. Relatively free from smog and byzantine freeways, San Diego, set around a gracefully curving bay, represents the acceptable face of southern California. Although it was the site of the first mission in California, the city only really took off with the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in the 1880s, and in terms of trade and significance it has long been in the shadow of Los Angeles. However, during World War II the US Navy made San Diego its Pacific Command Center, and the military continues to dominate the local economy, along with tourism and the Biotech Industry. San Diego is also home to one of the 2009 top ten beaches in the US. Coronado beach has just moved up from the number 8 position to number 4. You can enjoy the 100 year old Hotel Del Coronado visited by Kings, Presidents and movie stars behind you while taking in the ships and sail boats in front of scenic Point Loma.

Last Tuesday's Catholic Academies field hockey clash between the Mount St. Joseph Magic and Gwynedd Mercy was a whale of a game, and the host Monarchs proved that their breakthrough win against MSJ a year earlier was no fluke.
Late in the second half, GMA junior Corinne Persichetti cashed in on a penalty corner for a 2-1 victory. Gwynedd had also beaten the Magic in their first meeting of the 2012 season, snapping a losing streak against the Mount that had stretched back many years.
In the teams' first encounter of 2013, the Mounties had their chances on offense, but throughout the contest they just didn't seems as downright dangerous in the circle or in transition as the Gwynedd attackers. The Monarchs' speedy forwards took the play to the visitors at the outset and the home team scored a little over five minutes in.
The Magic tied the game late in the first half and played better transition defense in the second half, but fouls inside the circle afforded Gwynedd a wealth of penalty corners, and the Monarchs finally converted one against Mount senior goalie Christina Black with 3:24 remaining in the game. In the first half, Persichetti's classmate, the cat-quick Nicole Catalino, opened the scoring, and later MSJ senior Millie Stefanowicz tied the match off an assist from junior Chrissy Pascali.
The Magic would've found themselves in a more dire predicament if not for the superb play of their senior keeper. Black, a Lafayette Hill native who attended St. Philip Neri School, amassed 15 saves while facing a GMA offensive effort that included 13 penalty corners. At the other end, Gwynedd sophomore Ava Rosati posted seven saves while dealing with six corners for the Mount.
Black said modestly, "The defense helped me by keeping them out wide and trying to stop them before they came in the circle. Our backs also saved two shots in front of the goal."
Prior to last week's meeting, both teams achieved easy victories in their league openers, the Mount stopping Sacred Heart, 5-1, while Gwynedd thumped Villa Joseph Marie, 10-1. The Magic arrived at GMA with a 3-0 overall record, having beaten Neshaminy and Pennsbury in non-league bouts.
Last year in the AACA, Villa Maria made a clean sweep to go 14-0, while Mount St. Joe, which topped Gwynedd the second time they played, finished as runner-up with an 11-3 mark. The Monarchs had one more loss, splitting with Merion Mercy, and wound up third with a 10-4 record.
The Mount's third-year mentor, Christina Post, noted that under head coach Sue Persichetti, Gwynedd has become a team that present problems which extend beyond the emotional nature of the rivalry between the two schools.
"Yeah, there's the rivalry," she said, "but they're to be respected just because they're a great team. I'm proud of how our team played and I told our girls to hold their heads up.
"Today," she continued, "I don't think we tested their goalie and their defense the way that we're capable of doing. I think that we needed to be a little tighter with our stickwork in the circle and to play a little smarter. We held onto the ball too long and didn't see people who were wide open."
With fleet-footed players such as Catalino and senior Cassie O'Brien furnishing a lot of speed up front for Gwynedd, the Monarchs attacked right from the start and actually earned a penalty stroke near the end of the first minute of the match. Wary of Black's prowess in the cage, Catalino tried to place a shot just inside the left post and the ball ended up striking the upright and deflecting wide.
The junior wouldn't be scoreless for long, as with 5:29 elapsed she dribbled through the middle of the circle down toward the right post and launched a successful shot.
The Magic went up the field and into the GMA circle, but couldn't find the cage. With 21 minutes left they weren't able to get off a solid shot on a penalty corner insertion by junior Adrienne Pero. The teams went back and forth in the middle of the period, with the Monarchs' O'Brien sending a reverse stick shot just wide to the right from out past the post, while at the other end an attempt by MSJ junior Katie Fitzpatrick was thwarted at the goal line by a GMA back.
The Magic called time-out with 13:50 showing, and for the rest of the half and the rest of the game, they did a better job of coping with Gwynedd's speed.
"I think we handled it better after that first stretch," Post remarked. "At the beginning I think we were a little overaggressive and we weren't holding our shape as a team. That made it tough for us to recover back on those breaks."
As the clock dipped under five minutes, Gwynedd earned a corner and got off a couple shots in succession, but Black's reflexes in goal were up to the task.
Asked about her approach to facing several shots in rapid succession, the three-year starter said "It's just kind of instinct for me. We practice having people shoot at me from different angles one after the other, but in a game it's different. In games I just have the feeling that I need to stop everything; any kind of ball that comes at me, I'm going to try to save it."
With 2:35 on the clock, Mount St. Joe became the first team to score off of a corner, and the goal by Stefanowicz off of Pascali's pass had the contest tied 1-1 for the halftime break.
Early in the second round the Magic frequently took the ball up the field and into the Gwynedd circle, but they just couldn't seem to take that final step and put together a really serious scoring threat. Gwynedd's forwards remained troublesome, and although Mount St. Joe had better containment on the Monarchs' offensive transition, the hosts still were able to move the ball into the circle and draw fouls for corners.
At the far end, an MSJ corner with a dozen minutes left came to naught, and with under seven minutes remaining freshman starter Margot Biamon sent a shot from the right side outside of the near post.
After a Mount time-out with four-and-a-half minutes to go, it was Gwynedd that seized the initiative when play resumed. Just over a minute later, senior Morgan Meehan (who has committed to Quinnipiac University for lacrosse) inserted the ball on a corner play. It travelled to the top of the circle to Persichetti, who stopped the ball a little left of center and drove it down into the MSJ cage.
The Magic mounted their final rush in the last minute of the game, but couldn't penetrate far enough for a viable shot.
UPDATE: In two more AACA contests later last week, Mount St. Joseph lost, 1-0, to defending champ Villa Maria on Thursday, then got back in the win column by beating Nazareth, 7-0, on Saturday morning.
Against Villa, the Magic's scoring struggles from the Gwynedd game continued, as the Mounties suffered a shutout despite outshooting the Hurricanes 10-5 and earning nine penalty corners to Villa's three.
"I think we hit the goalie on almost all of our 10 shots," Coach Post lamented. "We move the ball well and we create scoring opportunities, but we wait too long to get our shots off."
At least the Magic were able to take care of business on Saturday against one of the weaker Academies teams, Nazareth. They romped to a 5-0 halftime lead thanks to two goals apiece by Stefanowicz and Biamon, and one by junior Katie Maransky. In the second period, Stefanowicz completed a hat trick with an assist from Maransky, and sophomore Virginia Poliwoda also scored.
The Mount ended the week at 4-2 overall, with a 2-2 record within the AACA.

Modest Mouse were one of the most surprising commercial success stories of the new millennium — while their music was by turns taut and elliptical, and the lyrics sometimes cryptic and introspective, the band broke through to the mainstream audience with the platinum-selling Good News for People Who Love Bad News, and they became genuine rock stars at a time when their musical peers remained cult figures. Modest Mouse were founded in 1993 by guitarist and vocalist Isaac Brock, bassist Eric Judy, and drummer Jeremiah Green. Brock, who had a nomadic childhood, was only 18 and living in a shed next to his mother's trailer home when Modest Mouse began working together, with the shed becoming the new band's rehearsal space and base of operations. In 1994, Modest Mouse booked time at Calvin Johnson's Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, Washington to cut their first record, and Johnson released their debut 7", "Blue Cadet-3, Do You Connect?," on his K Records label. Modest Mouse soon began work on an album, but the project was abandoned and the material went unreleased until 2001, when it appeared on a collection called Sad Sappy Sucker.
After releasing a handful of singles, Modest Mouse went into the studio with Johnson as producer to record an EP, The Fruit That Ate Itself, but by the time it was released, the group had already moved on to another Northwest-based indie label, Up Records. Released in 1996, This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, produced in collaboration with Steve Wold (who would find fame a few years later as grizzled blues hobo Seasick Steve), was Modest Mouse's first proper album, and received enthusiastic reviews in the independent music press. In 1997, Modest Mouse returned with The Lonesome Crowded West, which earned more positive press and was a considerable sales success by indie label standards, supported by extensive touring. As Modest Mouse's following grew, they were courted by major-label scouts, and they eventually signed with Epic Records, who released The Moon & Antarctica in 2000. A collection of demos and session outtakes, Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks, was issued in 2001, and Brock released an album with his side project Ugly Casanova in 2002. In 2003, it was announced that drummer Green had left Modest Mouse; Benjamin Weikel of the Helio Sequence became the group's new percussionist (he also doubled on keyboards), and Dann Gallucci, who had been a guest guitarist on the sessions for Sad Sappy Sucker and The Lonesome Crowded West, became an official member of the band.
The new lineup recorded 2004's Good News for People Who Love Bad News, which proved to be Modest Mouse's commercial breakthrough, rising to the top of the album charts, spawning the hit singles "Float On" and "Ocean Breathes Salty," and selling over a million copies as the band began headlining arenas. By the end of 2004, Green returned to Modest Mouse, and in 2006, after Gallucci left the group, the band recruited Johnny Marr, legendary guitarist with the Smiths, to take his place for the recording of their next album. Marr not only appeared on 2007's We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, he became a full member of Modest Mouse and toured with the group in support of the album, which debuted at number one on the Billboard album charts. In 2005, Brock had launched his own record label, Glacial Pace Records, saying the name reflected his own slow working habits; while Modest Mouse continued to play live shows, work on their next album progressed very gradually, and in 2009 they issued a collection of outtakes and non-LP single sides, No One's First, And You're Next, as a stopgap. A tour was launched in support, but as Marr had joined the Cribs, Jim Fairchild (who had worked with Grandaddy and All Smiles) became the group's new guitarist, and when Modest Mouse played a round of shows in 2012, the group debuted a new lineup with the addition of second percussionist Joe Plummer. While Eric Judy was still an official member of the band, for some 2012 dates he was replaced by multi-instrumentalist Tom Peloso, who had been touring with the group as a sideman since 2004. In 2014 Modest Mouse issued the single "Lampshades on Fire" in anticipation of the release of their sixth studio album, Strangers to Ourselves, in March 2015. ~ Mark Deming

1-800-IDEA-MAN: Eliminating the first two years
After having been on the wards for a while now, I've seen the importance of having a strong background in the basic sciences before moving on to seeing patients. While many students and physicians alike bemoan learning the mechanisms of action and half-lives of medications, this information is important in creating a useful drug regiment for treating disease.
The traditional med school curriculum uses two years of lectures and classwork to teach the basic sciences, followed by two additional years of clinical experience. The thought is that students need a firm foundation in book knowledge before applying that information to patients. Occasionally, universities get students into the hospital to practice on patients. At my school, we have a course called Physicianship Training that teaches students necessary skills for clinical encounters. The school throws us this bone to keep us interested in continuing the lectures that drag on for those first two years. The only problem is that medical school costs about $30,000 a year for those lectures.
I've come to realize that the first two years of med school were largely a combination of wasted time in lecture and physicianship training exercises. I've noticed that my school charged $60,000 for students to teach themselves from textbooks for two years. Many of my readers who are already in medical school or are doctors are all too familiar with the self-teaching that occurs. Professors are notoriously bad at teaching about mitochondria and the brachial plexus, leaving the student with the task of clarifying the material later.
Given that the students are already self-teaching, I propose that we eliminate the first two years and leave the basic sciences up to the textbook authors. We'll make the Shelf and Step exams the determining factor of who gets into medical school. The top 17,000 scores get in, while everyone else has to re-take Step I. Naturally, research experience and rec letters will play a role in admissions, but this method will bring in a steady supply of doctors with a strong basic science background.
Some critics will claim that Step I's 350 questions do not cover enough information to fully assess a person's ability to become a doctor. My first response is to point out that Step I is already used as the primary indicator of knowledge from the first years. Second, we can extend the exam to cover two days and double the number of questions if there is any concern that the test is not an adequate measure of science comprehension.
Companies such as Kaplan will emerge with their own medical schools to prepare people for these exams. Critics will claim that test prep groups teach to the test and not to the material. While there is some credibility to this argument, I certainly won't miss out on all of the surgery lectures I saw where the surgeon shows before and after pictures of his work. Further, I am sure that Kaplan would hire better lecturers, would be more efficient at teaching, and would be cheaper. Similar to a cell phone contract, at $30,000 a year I'm currently locked into my school where the professors have a monopoly on my education. Under my plan, when universities are forced to compete against each other, the quality of lectures would improve drastically. Then, after Step I, future doctors could move onto the wards—and the real two years of medical school.

I've had similar thoughts about University education in general. Being an autodidact, it appalls me to pay someone to read off powerpoint slides ad nauseum.
Great Post!

I think the vast majority of us feel/felt this way. From the get go, I had it in my mind that I was paying for the opportunity to take the USMLE. Since it is essentially a closed exam, I had to pay for admission in the form of the first 2 years of med school tuition. Going to class just isn't an efficient method of learning the basic sciences. If you are pursuing a pre-med course, you should do the basic medical sciences in the last 2 years of undergrad, take the test, get in, and voila!, start clinical rotations and graduate med school 2 years later. However, getting academicians to change (and consequently having their universities make less money) is a frighteningly difficult prospect.

Just wanted to say that this sounds an awful lot like the healthcare system a German med student told me about. She was doing an elective month in the US, but they have 6 years of undergrad and medical school training all lumped together. It shortens the course 2 years, but teaches everything you need before wards. Good idea, I say.
Y. S. said,
Though you put it in a very funny way it is so true. I can't believe its the same in the US. When i encounter BS over here I say to my self I wish I studied in the US instead! But it looks like it is almost the same everywhere. I stopped attending classes last year. I read on my own and study for the boards. I know it seems crazy but its better than having 60 year old professors read me the book. Most of the professors at my school forgot what teaching is all about 20 years ago! Ahhh, what can I say, you opened up the wounds. I hope clinical years will be more satisfying.
M.S. said,
Ah, you Kaplan comments, really make me think back to when I was studying for Step I one year ago…
I realized how poorly taught/organized many of my classes had been, and how much emphasis had been placed on stupid stuff the professors were particularly interested in, taking our time away from studying the IMPORTANT stuff that we really needed to know. There was so much I hadn't learned / hadn't assimilated.
It doesn't help that you get these lecture handouts that look like they were thrown together by a committee; nothing is designed for easy assimilation of knowledge. It is possible to organize things in such a way (and present them visually in such a way) that they are quickly and easily comprehended and assimilated into knowledge. Unfortunately, most of the professors know very little about the theory behind LEARNING and TEACHING. (Plus, it is time-consuming to organize things to maximize learning – even those who know the theory might not have the time [or interest] to so organize their content.) Also – you get different lecturers contradicting each other, etc. It's all a huge mess for the student to sort out / organize in their own mind. (We have ONE prof who DOES do a great job with organizing stuff for easy learning… Kudos to him…)
Anyway, I remember as I was studying for Step I (trying to learn all the IMPORTANT stuff I'd MISSED the first time around) I was thinking back to the MCAT test-prep I took from Kaplan & I thought to myself "Kaplan knows how to organize content for efficient learning" and "KAPLAN seems to have a grasp on what the IMPORTANT points are" [vs. someone's arcane research interests, etc.] I remembered thinking to myself – why don't they just let KAPLAN teach the first two years of medical school – at least it would be organized properly & we'd learn something!
(Honestly – my tuition is enough to pay an administrative assistant's salary; maybe 1/2 of a person's salary if you wanted to give them a decent salary they could live comfortably off of, with a nice lifestlye. You would think that if I am paying enough to provide 1/2 of someone's salary, that things could be a little better organized!)
OK, enough ranting! Thanks for letting me vent.

So, I am always on the lookout for ideas and products that save me time!
While I do love baking and cooking for my family, I enjoy it most when I can commit time to create in the kitchen at a leisurely pace.
My least favorite baking is for the dreaded plea at 8pm, "Mom! I need to take cookies to school tomorrow!". (groan)
Even when my little darlings' memories don't inexplicably fail them and they sweetly give me a bit more notice, I often still need a helping hand.
I'm so glad I've been introduced to Smiley Cookies!
From heart shaped Valentine's Cookies to Cookie Gift Baskets, I can lean on them via a quick click of the mouse!

|Create Your Own
When I say "my family enjoyed", I should clarify:
My family gobbled them up! Big thumbs up from the testing crew!
|Valentine's Cookies
I was personally left with one cookie. Not crumbs and a cookie. The cookies actually transported very nicely and arrived in an adorable box, in addition to the regular packaging.
I found my Valentine cookie to be delicious and fresh; the frosting quite tasty.
(if you've ever tried a pre-packaged sweet treat and found the frosting less than palatable, you'll appreciate this). While not a soft cookie, the firmness was just right. Although not quite the same flavor as the Pennsylvania-Dutch cut out cookies I make at home, quite similar.
Bottom line:
