A deranged killer wasn't enough to stop movie fans from supporting The Dark Knight Rises. The highly anticipated film pulled in an impressive $160 million over the weekend.
While final estimates will not be released until Monday (July 23), the film earned the No. 3 spot on the list of highest debuts ever falling behind The Avengers which opened with $207.4 million and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- Part 2, at $169.2 million.
Gunman James Holmes opened fire on a crowd of moviegoers during a midnight screening of the film at an Aurora, Colorado theater Friday (July 20). The 24-year-old medical school student, entered the venue dressed in all black with red hair, and was initially believed to be a movie fan, until he threw tear gas into the crowd and began shooting people at random.
Among those killed included a 27-year-old man who was celebrating his birthday by seeing the film, a 6-year-old girl who was shot alongside her mother, and another 27-year-old man who died protecting his girlfriend.
More than 60 people were injured in the shooting.
Holmes remains in police custody and has not been cooperating with authorities.

I collect Nars Multiple sticks (that's my excuse) although the last few releases haven't been inspiring – berries and weird pinkish toned highlighters aren't for me.
When I saw NARS Puerto Vallarta, a 'tangerine' I squealed because I am a huge fan of oranges and corals. It's been a while since Nars have done a bright multiple! I ordered this from the website;
Multiples are quite expensive at £30 but to be fair I have never ever been able to finish one so at least they last a good while.
When I opened this up, I wasn't sure – the colour is definitely a orange-coral but quite a 'milky' orange with shimmer in there. The problem with that is that milky colours sometimes disappear on my skin tone and I did not pay £30 for something to just melt away…
The texture of Multiples have improved over the years – I remember my first ones required a bit of warming to get going and over time would harden slightly. This one was quite waxy in texture but spread easily and feels creamy on the skin without too much effort – I like!
This is a swatch- you can see it is quite pigmented and really quite an unusual shade; it's orange but not too deep, it touches on peach too and has a fine gold to it;
I love this colour on my cheeks and even on the lips. I do naturally love peaches and oranges though to be fair so this was always going to be an easy sell for me. I just think it brightens the face and is still quite summery and interesting. If you dislike oranges…but like peaches….I don't know. This is very much in the orange camp so I can't say you'd like this. I think it suits slightly olive/tan skin tones pretty well…
I love this and I like multiples especially at the moment I am so lazy with applying make up day to day. I hope Nars release more bright, interesting multiples soon! (but not too soon, they cost too much).
Would you wear tangerine?

I can't give you any more help for two immediate reasons.
1. The course provider may be using this assignment to judge whether your command of English grammar is sufficient for you to be accepted on the course. For us to help you would be wrong.
2. You may have an interview, face-to-face or on the phone, and the interviewer may want to discuss some of your answers with you. S/he wants your reactions to the problems, not ours.
Do not worry. The answers you have given so far suggest to me (a former trainer) that you have the knowledge and common sense to show the course providers that you are the type of applicant who has the potential to complete the course successfully. They don't expect you to know everything before you start!
Good luck.

The UK's biggest ever Lotto jackpot of £50.4 million went unclaimed yesterday, causing the draw to rollover with the estimated jackpot for Saturday's draw now £57.8m. Camelot promised earlier this week that if the draw isn't won on Saturday, the prize will be shared out amongst the next tier of winners.
The huge pot has eclipsed the previous highest jackpot of £42 million shared by three winners in 1996.
The biggest cheque won on a single Lotto ticket was £22.5 million shared by work colleagues Mark Gardiner and Paul Maddison from Hastings in 1995, and the biggest ever individual Lotto winner is Iris Jeffrey from Belfast who won £20.1 million in 2004.
Saturday's jackpot is the result of 14 consecutive rollovers and follows the number of balls in the draw increasing from 49 to 59 in October, reducing the odds on a player's six numbers coming up from around one in 14 million to one in 45 million.
Camelot has claimed the "enhancements" actually give a better chance of winning and better odds of becoming a millionaire but the move has not been popular with all players.
However if no-one wins the jackpot today or Saturday, Camelot will enact new regulations which stipulate that it must be shared out.
The rules say that the jackpot has to be won in the first draw after it reaches £50 million, meaning that if no players match all six numbers the prize will be shared between winners in the next tier where there is at least one winner, most likely those who have just five main numbers and the bonus ball.
Camelot said this would make it "some of the best odds players have ever had to win a multi-million pound life changing jackpot".
A National Lottery spokeswoman said: "The National Lottery is all about millionaire making and Saturday's jackpot has the potential to make one of the biggest in our history.
"Don't delay getting your ticket as giant jackpots and millionaire making on this scale mean it is going to be one of our most popular draws ever. And remember each and every ticket sold helps raise more money for National Lottery Good Causes."
But Dr John Haigh, emeritus reader in mathematics at the University of Sussex, warned players not to get too excited.
The odds of winning the jackpot on Saturday by getting six numbers or five and the bonus ball would be around one in 6.5 million, he said.
"People get excited by looking at the sum of money involved. But that excitement is somewhat dampened when you look at the odds involved.
"I've never bought a ticket and I'm not going to break my record now."

I'm welcoming all ideas, however one particular idea I liked was the concept of a wind turbine (http://www.wpclipart.com/energy/ then look for wind turbine) being supported by a large plane, where the plane is the base pole... maybe even the wings could be merged in with the turbine blades.
Additionally, feel free to do something creative with something like this: http://deutsch.istockphoto.com/file…num=566747
merging the turbine or other green emblems in with anything related to airplanes or travel works!
but don't be limited by any of this - if you have a better idea, i'll take it!
logo should probably be medium green, or contain mostly green.
the site is essentially an air booking website which includes mandatory offsets - offsets are not done with trees (this is highly criticized), so please don't include trees in designs.
you may or may not include the .com.. whichever you think looks better.

Wholesalers play a vital role in moving products from production to the retail markets. Plastics aid in the facilitation of the wholesale process. Applications include mechanical applications, such as conveyor belt rollers, bushings and plates, graphical applications such as signage, and see-through applications such as product displays.
Advantages of plastics
The advantages of plastics in the Wholesalers industry are numerous. Plastics are much lighter than metal, which equate into better fuel economy and cheaper to manufacture parts. Additionally, the lighter weight aids in safer material handling. Plastics can be designed to be impact and dent resistant, and modified for improved strength. Corrosion resistance, color and texture flexibility, the economical components and aesthetics are other advantages of plastics.
Materials Utilized Within Industry
Materials used in the Wholesale industry are vast, used for structural as well as graphic and see-through applications. Materials include ABS, Styrene, Polycarbonate, Foam boards, PETG, PVC, Fluted Poly-pro and others.

I know for sure that there are a lot of members, and visitors that love panda bears. As I browsed through the animals in the 'For Kids' section I noticed that there was not yet a tutorial on "how to draw a panda for kids", step by step. I have drawn and made SO many tutorials based on the panda, and because of this it's kind of hard describing what will be different with this concept. I guess I could tell you that it's probably going to be one of the easier tutorials to tackle today, and because it's a panda, you can have fun with creating a cool background. I just painted some bushes and trees but you can draw bamboo, or maybe even use another lesson I have on a normal sized panda to be the mama or papa for this little guy. Either way, you will definitely have fun drawing a panda for kids when you follow the tutorial I have for you now. I still have one more 'For Kids' submission coming your way so keep the lights on, and pencils in your hand.

A Data-Based Assessment of Research-Doctorate Programs in the United States Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some questions that the committee and staff have been asked or anticipate that many readers will ask about the assessment. We will add to this collection as more questions come in from those who use the report and data.
Q: Why are the illustrative rankings given in ranges instead of a single number?
A: The committee felt strongly that assigning to each program a single number and ranking them accordingly would be misleading, since there are significant uncertainties and variability in any ranking process. Uncertainties arise from assumptions made in creating a ranking model based on quantitative data on program characteristics. Even with such a model, variability arises from numerous sources, including differences in the views among the faculty surveyed, fluctuations in data from year to year, and the error inherent in estimations from any statistical model. The ranges reflect some of this uncertainty and variability.
Q: What do the S-rankings mean? A: The S (or survey-based) rankings reflect the degree to which a program is strong in the characteristics that faculty in the field rated as most important to the overall quality of a program. In a survey, faculty were asked about the importance of 20 characteristics -- for example, publications per faculty member and students' time to degree -- in determining the quality of a program, and each characteristic was assigned a weight accordingly. These weights varied by field, since each characteristic is not valued to the same degree in all fields; the percent of faculty with grants was valued more highly in biology than in history, for example. The weights were then applied to the data on these characteristics for each program, resulting in the ranges of S-rankings for the program. Q: What do the R-rankings mean? A: The R (or regression-based) rankings are based on an indirect approach to determining what faculty value in a program. First, a sample group of faculty were asked to rate a sample of programs in their fields. Then, a statistical analysis was used to calculate how the 20 program characteristics would need to be weighted in order to reproduce most closely the sample ratings. In other words, the analysis attempted to understand how much importance faculty implicitly attached to various program characteristics when they rated the sample of programs. Weights were assigned to each characteristic accordingly -- again, these varied by field -- and the weights were then applied to the data on these characteristics for each program, resulting in a second range of rankings. Q: Are the R-rankings the same as reputational rankings? A: The R- rankings are NOT the same as reputational rankings. The R ranking ranges are based on data about the programs; the reputational ratings for a sample of programs in each field were used to determine the weights, but were not used directly to rank programs. Q: What do the "5th percentile" and "95th percentile" mean in the illustrative rankings? A: The degree of uncertainty in the rankings is quantified in part by calculating the S- and R-rankings of each program 500 times. The resulting 500 rankings were numerically ordered and the lowest and highest five percent were excluded. Thus, the 5th and 95th percentile rankings -- in other words, the 25th highest ranking and the 475th highest ranking in the list of 500 -- define each program's range of rankings, as shown in the Excel spreadsheet. For more information on the methodologies used to calculate the S-ranking and R-ranking ranges, see Chapter 4 of the report, as well as the revised methodology guide. Q: Why are there differences between the R-rankings and the S-rankings? A: Although each approach was based on the program data, different sets of weights were applied to the data, yielding different ranges of rankings. In the S-rankings, for example, faculty in most fields placed the greatest weight on characteristics related to faculty research activity, such as per capita publications or the percentage of faculty with grants. Therefore, programs that are strong in those characteristics tend to rank higher. Such characteristics were also weighted heavily in the R-rankings for many fields, but program size (measured by numbers of PhDs produced by the program averaged over five years) was frequently the characteristic with the largest weight in determining these rankings. The National Research Council is not endorsing either ranking or any ranking as the best indicator of program quality, but instead is providing the R- and S- rankings as illustrations of how rankings can be created by applying weights to data on program characteristics. The degree of importance attached to each program characteristic depends on how the rankings are to be used. The program data are being made available so that users can compare programs based on the characteristics that are most important to them. Q: Why is the methodology different from that described in the Methodology Guide released last year? A: The committee had originally planned to combine the R- and the S- rankings into a single range of rankings, which is the approach outlined in the 2009 Methodology Guide. The production of rankings from measures of quantitative data turned out to be more complicated and to have greater uncertainty than originally thought. As a consequence, the committee did not combine the two measures, and instead has presented them as two illustrative rankings. Neither one is endorsed or recommended by the National Research Council as an authoritative conclusion about the relative quality of doctoral programs. It was also decided to include a broader range of rankings from the 500 calculated for each program. The range in the 2009 Methodology Guide excluded half of them (the highest 25 percent and the lowest 25 percent); now only 10 percent -- the highest 5 percent and lowest 5 percent -- are excluded. Q: How does this report differ from the rankings the National Research Council released in 1995? A: There are a number of fundamental differences in the methodology used for the two reports. For example, the rankings in the 1995 report were based on reputation and were not directly related to program characteristics, as the illustrative rankings in the current assessment are. The method of counting publications and citations differed between the two studies. And the current study includes separate illustrative rankings for some dimensions of doctoral study -- such as research productivity and diversity -- that were not included in the 1995 study. The 1995 methodology is different from the 2010 methodology in enough ways that the two are not strictly comparable. Q. Given that the data in the study are at least 5 years old, is it useful? A: Although any university can point to particular programs that have been transformed in the past 5 years, most faculty have been at the same university in the same program for 8 to 20 years. Programs that have changed significantly can make the case that they are better (or worse) than their 2005-2006 data might indicate. Users should look at values of the characteristics that are important to them and ask if the values for those characteristics have changed for the programs that interest them. Programs are encouraged to post more current data on their websites. In the future, universities will be able to update important data on a regular basis, so that programs can continue to be evaluated and compared. Q: I'm a prospective Ph.D. student. How can I use the data and rankings to help me evaluate various programs? A: Students can pick out the programs of interest and compare them on characteristics such as percent of students funded in the first year, time to degree, and placement rate. Comparing programs based on the dimensional ranking "Student Support and Outcomes" -- which is a single measure that combines these characteristics -- may be helpful as well. A tutorial giving an example of how students can use the spreadsheets to select and compare different programs will be available at http://www.nap.edu/rdp when the assessment is publicly released. In addition, PhDs.org, an independent web site not affiliated with the National Research Council, is incorporating data from the assessment into its Graduate School Guide. Users of the Guide will be able to assign weights to the program characteristics measured by the National Research Council and others, and rank graduate programs according to their own priorities. Prospective students should not use the NRC data alone in their evaluation. They should talk to faculty in their field of interest and students who are now pursuing doctoral study in the programs that interest them as they make their evaluation. Q: Do I have to work with the data in Excel? Is there any way I can get a data file to use with SAS? A: Some users will want to go well beyond the capabilities of Excel and export the data into statistical software such as SAS, Stata, or SPSS. In such cases, users should make a tab-delimited file of the data in the Excel spreadsheet and use the functionality of the target software to put the file into that program's format. Q: What should I do if I see an error in the data about my program? A: Some institutions, when they examine the spreadsheet for the database of the National Research Council study A Data-Based Assessment of Research-Doctorate Programs, may find data that are or appear to be incorrect. Over the next several weeks following public release of the report and database, we wish to be informed about potential mistakes, misunderstandings, and possible errors. The NRC took many precautions during data collection to assure the accuracy of the data. Data were returned to the institutional coordinator for verification, and data that were obviously incorrect were flagged. This verification process was ongoing through the summer of 2010. Despite these efforts, errors may persist, and there are many possible causes. The institutional coordinator at the university should bring information about potential mistakes, misunderstandings, and possible errors to our attention by emailing email@example.com. Please explain the problem and, if known, its source, and indicate the correct data, program classification, or other aspect of the problem. We will examine the data and work with the institution to identify the source of the error, and the remedy will depend on the source. If the university, in collecting the data, misunderstood the directions and entered erroneous or incomplete data, we will record what the university tells us on a publicly available list. The NRC will maintain a database of these corrections classified by institution and program on the What's New page. Universities can also provide information regarding corrections of this type for the 2005/6 data on the websites for their programs. It is unlikely that we will be able to undertake the considerable effort that would be required to validate and implement such corrections to the 2005/6 data (such as with variables dependent on faculty lists) in order to change the spreadsheet or to rerun the illustrative rankings. If it is determined that the source of the error was in the processing by the NRC of institutional data supplied by universities, we will collate the needed revisions, and we will attempt to rerun the illustrative rankings and publish a revised master spreadsheet. We ask that any information regarding possible errors of this sort be sent to us by November 1, 2010.

Coil Grab for Densely Packed Slit Coils
Bushman AvonTec, Milwaukee, WI, has developed a coil grab designed for handling densely packed slit coils. The unit features an adjustable coil lifter with flexible lifting legs that fit between the coils and rotate into the ID for a safe lift.
When CoilPlus-Berwick Steel, a flat-rolled steel-service center in Columbus, OH, needed to find a to insert and remove thin slit steel coils (down to 1 in. wide) from a storage rack, the new Bushman AvonTec coil grab fit the bill. The coils are closely stacked in the rack with a narrow 1.5-in. space between them.
"The hooks are adjustable in 2-in. increments to permit handling coils of varying thickness," says Larry Wood, CoilPlus maintenance/safety coordinator. "The main advantage of these lifters is that the feet rotate."
To remove a coil, the hooks are lowered with the feet parallel to the coils. Once the feet are in the ID of the coil, they turn 90 deg. so they can lift the coil without damaging it or neighboring coils.Bushman AvonTec: 800/338-7810; www.bushmanavontec.com

Air India can learn from Finnair!
This appeared in the Asian Age today...
Maa…. Tujhe Salaam!
I'm writing this the morning after the night before.India's 63rd Republic Day went off without an 'incident', and we should be so relieved. Imagine. It has come to that. For nearly a fortnight before the 26th Of January, there is an extra high alert all over the country.Which means it is not the best time to be traveling, especially if Delhi is your destination. First, you deal with the notorious fog ( surely, there's a foreign hand somewhere?) that delays flights for hours on end. Then there's the deadly red alert, which means further delays and mysterious procedures. Add to that, the presence of countless men in camouflage gear, bearing serious weapons and looking menacingly at weary, sleep deprived passengers. No, it's not fun at all. The drill is slightly different in Mumbai, where the biggest Republic Day woes revolve around the 'no booze' rule. Restaurants, pubs, clubs and bars remain largely empty. And those die hard tipplers who can afford it, jump onto flights taking them for heavy duty r&r to Phuket ( shunned by the smart set these days, but popular with Bollywood holiday makers), Colombo or Rangoon( for the determinedly hip). Given the slight nip in the air, Mumbaikars grab the opportunity to air moth- balled shawls and sweaters and complain about catching a chill. Nobody really thinks about the State of the Nation while admiring the tastefully lit up Mantralaya. This is just as well. No matter what those bods in the Capital tell us, the story isn't all that wonderful. And it's slightly silly to keep pointing out the price of 'mutter' and 'pyaaz'. Yes, those damned veggie prices are down by a couple of bucks. So what? The other, more significant statistics remain depressingly stagnant, and oppressively frustrating. At the moment, India's report card isn't reading well, never mind the fickle Sensex ka yo-yo. Or any of the other indicators of Bharat Mata's 'progress' that swing as tantalizingly as Katrina Kaif's hips in the latest superhit 'item song' ('Chikni Chameli' from 'Agneepath'). Despite all the above, magic happens. As it did last evening, at a charming, old- fashioned Republic Day Reception , hosted by Shri K. Sankaranarayanan ,the well liked Governor of Maharashtra and his wife, Shrimati Radha , on the lawns of what has to be one of the grandest Raj Bhavans in India ( the one in Kolkata comes a close second).
I make it a point to attend these 'At Homes' each time I receive an invitation. Some Governors like me, some don't. I'm guessing Shri Sankaranarayanan likes me, since I was invited for the second year running. This is just as well. I like him , too. And I enjoy the archaic drill on such occasions, replete with several colonial flourishes, like a military band playing Viennese waltzes, once they're done with a brassy version of the national anthem. This is the moment everybody waits for. By then, a warm, melon hued sun is setting in the bay on the edge of the manicured lawns. A discreet drum roll alerts invitees to the presence of 'Important Men' who appear as if out of nowhere on top of a stone stairway that leads to the lawns. These represent the top brass of the State – Shri Prithivaj Chavan, the Chief Minister , and other members of the cabinet who walk right behind these two worthy gentleman. There is an appropriate hush, as members of the consular corps, visiting dignitaries ( the health minister from Quebec, this year), top cops, lawyers, business people, plus, assorted hustlers and other usual suspects stand aside respectfully to allow the slow passage of the Guv to a gilded sofa placed on a carpet over the lawn. While the Guv's entourage follows at a small distance, various pushy invitees stalk and waylay the poor C.M.. thrusting cards into his hand, and clicking pictures with him on their cell phones ( Facebook, zindabad!).Meanwhile, a long queue starts to snake its way towards the gilded sofa, where the Guv and his gracious wife, nod and smile at people they are not likely to meet ever again. Tea is served . Coffee, too. Out of large stainless steel containers with convenient taps. Cake, sandwiches, samosas get piled on to the plates of those who aren't busy schmoozing and sucking up to VIPs and prefer snacks over sycophancy. These form a minority. As the sun sinks into the Arabian Sea, a plaintive last post is sounded, and the tricolour comes down.Mercifully, no speeches are made. Not so mercifully, invitees complain that the parking lot this year has been shifted to Chowpatty Beach, nearly two kilometers away from the Raj Bhavan. Security issues are cited, but that explanation placates nobody. I spot India's premier Oscar winner, Bhanu Athaiya, patiently waiting for her car. She is on an Oscar road trip across the country for a tv channel as a run up to the big event.It's been years since an Indian won that precious Oscar. If only those dumb Hollywood guys who decide these things were to start a fresh category for the Best Item Song of the Year, India would win Oscar upon Oscar, year after year. Till such time, we'll have to console ourselves and be grateful that Anil Kapoor gets mobbed in Agra, while Tom Cruise needs hired fans in Mumbai.
But for me, this lovely, newspaperless morning was made lovelier still when a friend sent me a link to a Youtube video that featured the good looking crew of Finnair dancing to a rollicking Bollywood track ("Om, Shanti, Om") on a Republic Day flight to Delhi. Now, that's what I call a real celebration. Why couldn't Air India have thought of it first?

While it is really a nice gesture on behalf of Finnair, and a pointer to what Indian corporates can look at for inspiration, couldn't someone have advised them that the spirit of the Republic of India is not captured best in a bollywood version of Om Shanti Om? Have been following your blog for a while and love what you write.

The Republic of India is all about Bollywood. Whether we like it or not, for right or wrong our national culture is Bollywood. That being said, Finnair had it right.
More than a comment on corporate savviness, I was suprised that the self described notoriously shy, socially awkward and uncommunicative Finns loosened enough to gyrate their hips in an acceptable bolly fashion! Mazaa aa gaya!
Perhaps next time I have dinner with someone from Finland, we can end the evening dancing to Komdi Palali!
Loved your description of the Governors "at home". Made me feel I was right there and I could almost taste the chutney sandwiches and batata wada (I hope they had that great Maharashtrian snack and it was not all just regulation samosas and choley chaat). Lovely and old fashioned and I bet it made for great people watching. Sweet strong Chai in a white china cup and saucer and the sun setting over the Arabian Sea... wah! Jai ho India.

I was not invited. I think no governor likes me. They dont like common, unknown people. Only Thomas Hardy writes poetry about the unsung common people.
I am not whining. Justjoking.
The governor must be a tamilian. Yet no idli vada combo or filter coffee?
I like the strong, silent honest Prithviraj Chavan.

When fame's a liability
I read this lukewarm article with a feeling that we are never definitive – neither there nor here. The Bible says to one of the 7 churches (Laodicaea) –"…. you are neither hot nor cold. I wish you blew either hot or cold. If not, I will spew you out" – quite strong words indeed.
Whom are we trying to assuage? "Celebrities qualify as soft targets" because they are in the glare of the public and more so as so called celebrities are not conscious of it and make a mess of themselves by being unduly garrulous and a nuisance to others in public. People with a foaming temper ought to be moderated by compatriots be it fiancé or bosom friends – and not add to the veritable commotion.
Saif's physical action was unwarranted and marred the peace. Let Law take its course. If Iqbal was frenetic and voluble advising his neighbours to lower the decibel (maybe he was a bit drunk – we do not know) – what's wrong? We cannot follow the Law of Thermodynamics and go for a reaction though Saif's was not exactly 'equal and opposite'.
You say "famous is awful" – well that is the price for immoderation. A decent and famous man or woman is never "jeered" or "taunted". An unruly person or rowdy in reel or real life is;and he/she then deserves it. I have never heard of a Big B treated thus. People look up to him/her. In fact the famous get away with their indiscipline and disrespect (Saif to - Iqbal's father-in-law an old man); but a poor man succumbs. That is the fact of life. A "glamourous five star restaurant" is not immune to decorous behaviour and those (generally the pharisaical top echelons) who tend to condone it give an impetus to recurrence.
Let's not be ashamed to say that Saif is in the wrong. He took it to such an extremity compelling Iqbal to aver that he will not accept his apology and thus queering the pitch. That's that.
May we seriously review our patrician concepts.

In the legendary 18th and Vine district of Kansas City, a hotbed for jazz and baseball, a
capacity crowd gathered to pay tribute to the heroes of the old Negro Leagues,
while honoring some of today's Major League stars.
Florida's Dontrelle
Willis, NL Rookie of the Year and Kansas City's Angel Berroa, the AL Rookie of the
Year started the evening by receiving the Larry Doby Award.
Willis was an integral part of the Marlins drive for their second world
championship in 2003.
"I appreciate the opportunity to be here and to receive this award," Willis
said. "It's a real honor for me."
Berroa spearheaded the Royals' resurgence as the club recorded its first
winning season since 1994.
"Thank you first to God for allowing me the opportunity to play baseball and
then to the people in front of me, Tony Peña (Royals manager), Allard Baird
(Royals GM) and the rest of my squad," Berroa said.
The Marlins' Juan Pierre and Tampa Bay's Carl Crawford received the James "Cool Papa" Bell award, which goes to the stolen base
champions in each league.
Pierre received his second Bell award after leading the Majors with 63 stolen
bases in Florida's championship campaign.

A 16-year-old Ottawa boy stands accused of making fake calls to emergency services across North America, including creating fear by making up bomb threats, police said Friday.
The boy, who lives in the west end of Ottawa, is the suspect in at least 30 North American incidents, said Staff Sgt. Rick Baldwin-Ooms.
Baldwin-Ooms said Friday that more charges were anticipated but that so far the boy had been charged with 60 offences, including uttering death threats, conveying false information with intent to alarm, public mischief and mischief to property.
"Swatting" is the term used by police to describe faking emergency calls to create a hoax or get revenge.
"This is a fairly new phenomenon for Ottawa," said Baldwin-Ooms. "These irresponsible incidents have created real fear in people, put public safety at risk, and disrupted entire communities where these events have occurred."
He said police will investigate whether any alleged hoax calls diverted responders away from real emergencies.
One of the alleged bomb threats happened April 30 just before 10:30 a.m. at Jean Vanier Catholic Secondary School in Milton, Ont., west of Toronto, said Halton Regional Police Sgt. Chantal Corner. She said an anonymous 911 caller said he had placed explosives near the school that he was going to detonate — creating eight hours of work for more than 30 officers, and prompting an evacuation and search of the three-storey school.
"The fear, I think, and the anxiety and that real uncomfortableness that some of these kids are feeling and may not be able to get over is something that could be very traumatizing," said Corner, a public relations officer who was on Twitter that day, talking to some of the kids inside the school.
She said the tweets got the attention of other police services.
"Everybody made the connection that this is the same person that's done this all over North America," Corner said.
She said a Milton boy, who has now been charged with public mischief, had contacted the Ottawa boy with a request.
"I guess it's gotten around that … if you want this done, you can call him," Corner said.
The Ottawa boy, who can't be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, appeared in court on Friday. Because the matter is now before the courts, police can't divulge how the case got their attention, the timeline of events, or many other details, Baldwin-Ooms said.
The boy's lawyer, Joshua Clarke, said his client denies any wrong doing. "I look forward to receiving the evidence," Clarke said in an email
Other police forces involved in the investigation were the Laval, Que., police, Sûreté du Québec, Calgary Police Service and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The boy's home has been searched and data transmission and communication devices were seized for analysis, police said. Firearms and ammunition were also seized for public safety reasons, police said.

Avigal Henna
In 1972, henna was re-introduced to the consumer with amazing success. What had once been discarded as a primitive hair coloring process was once again a viable force in the beauty field. Fear over chemical side effects as well as a growing interest in healthy products helped to push henna into the limelight again, but the true leader of what became known as the "Henna Revolution" was and still is AVIGAL HENNA. New shrubs of the Lawsonia plant were discovered and developed, which gave life to different colors and shade gradations. AVIGAL HENNA took these shrubs and created a whole new look -- natural, vibrant highlights for every type of hair -- permed, bleached, tinted or virgin.

A workshop will be convened to provide a forum in which officials from EPA and other relevant federal agencies can meet with a variety of scientific experts to explore the concept of climate sensitivity and its applications to EPA's climate change risk assessment studies.
Workshop Summaries Resulting from this Event
Climate sensitivity is a term used to characterize the response of the climate system to an imposed forcing, and is most commonly used to mean the equilibrium global mean surface temperature change that occurs in response to a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. The purpose of this workshop was to explore current capabilities and limitations in quantifying climate sensitivity and consider whether there are alternativ... More >>

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The University of Maryland men's lacrosse team placed four student-athletes on the 2014Inside Lacrosse Face Off Yearbook Preseason All-America team, while three of those players were also selected to the ACC Preseason All-Conference team.
Senior defender Michael Ehrhardt led the Terrapin honorees with a first team All-America nod, while senior goalie Niko Amato and junior defender Goran Murray were selected to the second team. Senior midfielder Mike Chanenchuk was chosen as a third team All-American.
Maryland and Virginia each placed four combined players on the first, second and third teams, the most of any school on the list.
Ehrhardt, Amato and Murray were named to the preseason All-ACC squad, which was voted on by the conference's six head coaches.
Ehrhardt, a native of Westbury, N.Y., was a second team USILA All-American in 2013 after leading the Maryland defense to a No. 9 national ranking in scoring defense, allowing just 8.21 goals per game. Ehrhardt finished the season third on the team with 53 groundballs and second on the squad with 15 caused turnovers.
Amato, a native of Conshohocken, Pa., enters his final season as a two-time All-American after ranking seventh in the nation with a .594 save percentage and ninth in the country with a 7.98 goals-against average. Amato finished fourth on the team with 30 groundballs and even added two assists.
Murray, a native of Merion Station, Pa., is a two-time All-American after finishing third on the team with 13 caused turnovers and seventh on the squad with 19 groundballs last season.
Chanenchuk, a native of Poquot, N.Y., was a second team USILA All-American last season after becoming the first Maryland midfielder to lead the team in goals scored since Chris Malone in 2000. Chanenchuk, who is a two-time All-American, finished the 2013 season with a team-best 23 goals and was second in points with 37. The junior shot .315 percent for the season and had a .616 shots-on-goal percentage.
Maryland posted a 10-4 record in 2014 and appeared in the NCAA Tournament for the 10th consecutive season, which represents the longest active streak in Division I men's lacrosse. Head coach John Tillman's team returns six starters, including all three close defenders and Amato in goal, as well as its top face-off man and one of its leading short-stick defensive midfielders. Maryland welcomes the nation's No. 1 recruiting class, according to Inside Lacrosse, which features nine listed among Inside Lacrosse's Power 100 Freshmen Rankings.

Time for Birdie to get his own bag.
This backpack pattern was one that I created a few years ago for a craft swap partner's young daughter who was two years old at the time. The opening is just an overlap on the near the top of the front. Velcro could be added to help keep it closed but isn't necessary. Not having any zippers or snaps, it's very simple for a toddler to open and fill up. Good for play and great for a daycare bag, where the child can get their own toys, cup and diapers from their bag. Plus it's quick enough to make in a naptime (if you don't check your email first :D)
My backpack is made from a cotton print of an old style flour bag, which I found in a thrift store. I'm not sure who made the fabric since it had been cut into fat quarters and finished along two sides. It looked like someone wanted to use it as a table runner or something decorative. If anyone knows something about the fabric or the design, please share, I'd love to know more.
I am going to do a couple things different for this tutorial. First off, I'm actually going to provide you with the pattern pieces, which I am able to do now that I am subscribing to a zingy file transfer site. Second, I'm going to try this tutorial out as a sewing pattern internet busking type of thing. You'll see what I mean at the bottom :)
On with the show!

(3 page pdf - print at 1:1 scale or 'no scaling')
(If you do not have a DropBox account, just push 'no thanks, continue to file' at bottom of prompt.)
This backpack uses about 3/4 meter or yard of woven fabric and 3/4 meter or yard of medium weight fusible interfacing.
To cut fabric and interfacing, follow instructions printed on the three pattern pieces (Back, Front Bottom, and Front Top). Don't forget to also cut additional strips of fabric for the Side and the Straps, as indicated on the pattern sheets.
Following manufacturers instructions, fuse interfacing to the wrongsides of the corresponding pieces. All pieces except the Straps require interfacing.
To begin,
(Note: because fusible interfacing was used, there should be no need to finish the raw edges with a serger or zig zag stitch to prevent fraying. However, you may feel the need to anyway, or just like the serged edges. If this is you, before you go any further, finish the long straight edges of the Front Top and Front Bottom pieces.)
Top stitch at 1/4" along fold.
(Just an aside here. Stitching fusible interfacing curves is not so easy because there is no stretch to the material. Give yourself some extra time here and don't worry while sewing, it will work out. Forgive small tucks, they are really no big deal.)
To make the straps, take one 3" by 15" strip of fabric and fold it right sides together lengthwise. Stitch closed along the raw edges, forming a tube. Turn tube right side out (use a safety pin to turn). Press flat and top stitch along length-wise edges. Repeat for other strap.
I welcome all questions and comments!

The first image from new A&E series 'Bates Motel' has arrived courtesy of the network and brings us our first peek at the young Freddie Highmore ('Charlie and the Chocolate Factory') alongside co-star and on screen mommy dearest Vera Farmiga ('Source Code', 'Orphan'). The duo who appear as Norman and Norma Bates respectively and have been snapped sitting on the grass in front of their iconic home in this prequel serial to the original series of 'Psycho' films. Nestor Carbonell ('Lost'), Mike Vogel, Olivia Cooke ('The Quiet Ones'), Nicola Peltz and Keegan Connor Tracy also star. The project, which comes from Carlton Cuse ('Lost') and Kerry Ehrin ('Friday Night Lights'), is currently shooting and will air at some point in 2013. Check the new pic below.
"Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's genre-defining film, "Psycho," "Bates Motel" is a contemporary exploration of the formative years of Norman Bates' relationship with his mother, Norma, and the world they inhabit. Viewers will have access to their dark, twisted back story and learn firsthand how Norma helped forge the most famous serial killer of them all."Freddie Highmore and Vera Farmiga in 'Bates Motel'

Pond & Lake Q & A
Q: The weather is getting colder, so can I still treat my pond with chemicals or natural bacteria? – Sara in Washington
A: Algae tends to grow all year long – even in cold temperatures when ice covers your pond. Given the right mix of nutrients, carbon dioxide and sunlight, these little photosynthetic, autotrophic compounds will flourish – regardless of the temperature or time of year.
Whether you can treat the pea soup or filamentous algae depends on the water temperature in your lake or farm pond. When the underwater thermometer drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, the effectiveness of both chemicals and natural bacteria begins to drop. So to get the most for your money, we recommend dosing your pond or lake with one of these methods in the fall before the winter chill hits:
- Treat with Chemicals: As long as your water temperature is about 60 degrees F, you can use algaecides, like Algae Defense® (or Clipper™ if you have koi or goldfish in your pond), to help with late-season algae blooms. Warning: If your lake is stocked with trout, test your carbonate hardness before adding Algae Defense®. If your Water Hardness Test Kit reads less than 50 parts per million (2.79 degrees of hardness), it could be toxic.
- Add Some Shade: Regardless of your water temperature, you can also add pond dye to shade your pond or lake during the winter. Throughout the pond industry, experts use dye to minimize the amount of sunlight that reaches the depths of ponds and lakes. This can prevent algae from photosynthesizing – and limit its growth.
- Treat Naturally: Beneficial bacteria, like PondClear™ , are also most effective when temperatures are above 50 degrees F. When used correctly, they will help to keep your pond crystal clear.
POND TALK: Have you experienced a late-season algae bloom in your lake or pond? What did you do to control it?

So the massive crunchtime has passed, but I'm not entirely out of the water yet. As it is Cult of Bob or any of my comic endeavors have never made any serious money.
For now I need to focus on creating a stable financial situation for myself. And constantly having to update comics is a serious drain.
What I'm saying is, don't count on any regular Cult of Bob comic updates. There might be the occasional joke I'll write given topical subjects that really deserve the scrutiny of the Cultists or the Lab Rats, but beyond that I'm focusing all my time on creating a stable income through my freelance work as a developer.
The social media feeds will remain intact for all the usual updates regarding twitter and tumblr. There's also my personal twitter and tumblr feeds where I'll post stuff like drawings and curated content of interest. The facebook page will similarly feature curated content that is of interest and drawings.Comments to this post

Statistics revealed by the latest AJ Women in Architecture survey show worrying lack of professional respect
Two thirds of the 710 women respondents felt the building industry hadn't fully accepted the authority of the female architect, and almost half of the 216 male respondents agreed.
Reacting to the survey findings, leading architects have called for more women at director level to smash through the 'glass ceiling'.
Tellingly, of the women architects who responded, just 14 per cent were either partners or directors of practices, compared with a quarter of the men.
Former Aedas board director Sarah Williams, now heading her own firm, S Williams Architects, said: 'There need to be more women at board level holding senior positions across the industry in order to start to change the culture within organisations.'
She added: 'The building industry lags behind others and needs to look closely at their clients – many of whom are, and will [continue to] be women. Maybe then these perceptions will change, leading to an acceptance that there are a variety of approaches in leadership and that a balance of male and female views will ultimately deliver the best results.'
Sally Lewis, director of Stitch added: 'These survey results are symptomatic of an industry that is stuck in the past, occasionally inching tentatively into the present, and nowhere near prepared for the future world, where integration is everything.'
Patricia Hickey, co-founder of Bubble Architects, agreed. She said: 'We need to be clear that women are being held back from promotion in architectural offices not because the practice directors think they will not be respected on site, but because the primarily male directors do not respect female leaders within the office; otherwise a gender pay discrepancy for the same roles would not persist.'
In response to the results Jane Duncan, the RIBA's equality and diversity champion, said: 'What we need are more role models and more employers who are prepared to empower their women architects through in-house guidance and promotion to develop the confidence needed by any architect for their job. '
The survey also revealed that having children remained a barrier to success for women architects: 88 per cent of women respondents still felt that having kids put women at a disadvantage in architecture. One respondent even said she had hidden the fact she had kids from her employer 'for fear that it would hinder her career'.
Further comment
Mary Duggan, director, Duggan Morris Architects
I started working in professional practice in 1997. Buildings were generally procured with architects in a lead role following a traditional procurement path. In this structure women had greater opportunity to operate creatively in the foreground. As we have moved towards a greater portion of contractor-led procurement projects with a more guarded attitude to risk management, this has swung the pendulum back towards a male predominance. I felt a greater sense of equality 15 years ago due to the greater focus on creative thinking, then placed at the forefront of design.
I felt a greater sense of equality 15 years ago
So when we talk about the industry in relation to women's roles we need to consider the designers and builders as separate forces as there is a greater weight of men in the contracting and project management roles. Contracting organisations are way behind architects in terms of equality and unfortunately have edged greater power. This also needs to change, but we should focus our attention on the design practices where creative women are more successful.
I'm not suggesting that this is a cause and effect scenario, nor that we should revert to old methods, but we need to recognise that the influx of males correlates with the shift in procurement methodology, and this has altered the trajectory for women. So in considering the dissatisfaction in both arenas, there is a paralleled opportunity. We need to champion design-led procurement methods, level out the playing field, and in doing so reinstate the presence of women.
As a practice we advocate the authority of an architect to drive forth good building programmes. We have a great belief in a collaborative effort to achieve this goal and have worked hard to develop skills to ensure we are all in chorus, both male and female, contractors and designers.
These skills - of communication, negotiation, collaboration, consultation, team dynamics, programming, project management - need to be supplanted into architectural education much earlier. A shorter education timeframe to professional registration will provide time to accommodate alternative pursuits. Key skills and interests will vary widely across the profession and expert knowledge will quickly develop. This is particularly relevant for women who could choose to specialise in areas that can sustain time out.
Yasmin Shariff, Dennis Sharp Architects
Blaming the building industry is an easy way of avoiding the core issue that women are not taken seriously by their own profession. As long as women remain under-paid they will remain undervalued and their authority undermined. It beggars belief that in 2014 in Britain, women architects still do not have equal rights, their voice is stifled and their contribution compromised by their own professional bodies. It is time victims of unlawful discriminatory behaviour were supported. Neither the RIBA nor the ARB have taken action to penalise unequal pay or discrimination. It is not enough to have equal opportunities policies - they need to be enacted. With a million more women than men in this country it should be a prerequisite that only practices with women at senior level should be allowed to tender and those without should be excluded. Then the authority of women will quickly be transformed.
Sally Lewis, director, Stitch
These survey results are symptomatic of an industry that is stuck in the past, occasionally inching tentatively into the present, and nowhere near prepared for the future world where integration is everything. We can't afford to sit comfortably (with our prejudices) in special boxes with a capital A anymore. It's plain old fashioned and we'll only get left behind.
These results are symptomatic of an industry stuck in the past
We also can't change the fact that women will have children and have to deal with the challenges of balancing various life acts. The big opportunity is that now is the time to change how we operate as architects in the new and different real world. Despite my reluctance to engage in any kind of positive discrimination, I have to say that women could be particularly good trail blazers in being architects with a small 'a' - a little less ego and a lot more collaboration, entrepreneurship and engagement in the bigger story of the built environment.
Elspeth Clements, Clements Porter Architects
I currently don't experience any problems with acceptance of my authority on site but I suspect that is because I work on smaller traditional projects, have a lot of experience being of a certain age and am principal of the firm. This all gives me a certain status.
Where we have experienced problems in the past was on larger design and build projects where we were working for the contractor. After site meetings on a couple of jobs, the job architect (who is also a woman) and I would leave site spitting feathers at the complete disregard with which our input was met. What we have been unable to determine was whether it was sexism or the low status of the architect within the construction team with this form of procurement.
That being said, my first job on site many years ago started out disastrously. I was job architect on a scheme for 100 flats for the GLC. I was young, was female and wore jeans and was thus inappropriately dressed. The site agent refused to speak to me, let alone take instructions from me, all contact being through the clerk of works or the team leader. Although it was unfortunate for him, my problem was solved 10 weeks into the contract by the site agent having a terminal heart attack. Things got a lot better after that.
Sarah Williams, director, S Williams Architects
I agree that there is this perception in certain parts of the industry, including, unfortunately, our own profession, although I obviously don't adhere to that belief. There needs to be more women at board level, holding senior positions across the industry in order to start to change the culture within organisations.
The building industry lags behind others in this respect and needs to look closely at who their clients are and whom they wish to target (many of whom are, and will be women). It just makes business sense to do this. Maybe then, these perceptions will change, leading to an acceptance that there are a variety of approaches in leadership and that a balance of male and female views will ultimately deliver the best results.
Roisin Heneghan, Heneghan Peng Architects
At first I thought the results were a bit alarmist but thinking it over a bit more I can see that happening. It's so tempting to make the easy choice of someone who fits the "lead architect" type. I have seen situations where there is indirect questioning of the competence of the female project architect. If the architect sticks with it, it usually works out but can be difficult. Ultimately it's one of those situations which will get gradually dismantled but it can be difficult and disheartening.
Caroline Cole, director, Colander Associates
The implied paternal instinct towards female colleagues is interesting - are the men trying to protect them from the hard hitting world of construction, or worrying that the (predominantly male) client base will think less of their practice if women are put forward in a senior role, or are they simply being sexist? It's probably a bit of all three and I suspect that it's all rather too complex to give a simple answer. Anecdotally, we know that women are often, and overtly, placed in senior managerial positions but much less often in leadership roles. I'd be interested to see a similar survey showing the position of women in client organisations; I think this could have a bearing in the future.
I don't know whether you have the stats from last year's business benchmarking survey of RIBA chartered practices? It showed that while around 38 per cent of architectural assistants were female, the percentage dropped at each level of seniority to around 11 per cent at equity partner or shareholder director level.
I would be interested to compare the percentage of women who are at the highest level because they stepped out of the mainstream and set up their own business (often with their husbands/life-partners) in comparison to the percentage who fought their way to the top through promotion. I suspect that a comparison with the figures for men would be interesting too!
Angela Dapper, senior associate, Denton Corker Marshall
I find that building sites are very male orientated, there is very rarely a female on site, except maybe in the office. There are still occasional degrading attitudes towards women on site, mainly prevalent in sexually biased language. On one of my sites I was just referred to as 'she'.
Besides the bias found on some building sites, I do not think the building industry generally attributes less respect to women in architecture.
Architectural practices need to provide support for not only women, but all minorities, to ensure people are treated fairly in their professions.
Patricia Hickey, co-founder, Bubble Architects
In our experience, the problem lies primarily within the architect's office and not the industry as a whole as too few women are being promoted to senior positions within their practices. There are a variety of reasons given for this and one of the most common is that women disappear at significant points in their careers to have children and this impacts on their progress. This is a smokescreen to cover ongoing sexism within the profession as it does not explain why women doing the same job are paid less and there are also lots of women who don't have children and experience the same barriers.
We need to be clear that women are being held back from promotion in architectural offices not because the practice directors think they will not be respected on site, but because the primarily male directors do not respect female leaders within the office, otherwise a gender pay discrepancy for the same roles would not persist.
RIBA president Stephen Hodder
The annual focus on gender inequality within the architecture profession highlighted by the AJ's survey is to be commended. The barriers to attracting and retaining women in architecture must be overturned so we retain the widest talent to improve our built environment.
RIBA has a number of initiatives to mentor, inspire and encourage diversity and equality, led by Jane Duncan and the Women in Architecture group. But there is still a grass roots issue that needs to be addressed - as a collective profession and as employers we all must take responsibility to stamp out the lack of equality and diversity which pervades.
Angela Brady, immediate past president RIBA said
We need to support women in our profession and encourage more role models and mentoring such as the Fluid mentoring scheme by architects for change now in its second year.
Clearly women need empowering and some training is planned this year.
It is essential that any prejudices are stamped out and that women are appreciated for the skills and talents. I also think it is important that equal pay is checked out, as many women in our industry do not ask for pay rises as quickly as men do.
The value that women bring to businesses has been proven and more women are rising to director or partner level. However the movement is unacceptably slow and I would appeal to all practices to seriously look at their women to men ratio and make an effort to reduce that gender gap.
I appeal to women architects to mentor one or two younger women architects and give them that confidence boost they may need and opportunities to flourish. Women have great communication skills that many practices lack and this is needed in top management and at partner level. More clients are women and they also look at gender balance when choosing firms to work with.
The changes in legislation for new parents coming in later this year on maternity leave and the sharing of the child care between parents will give women and men and equal chance at childcare for up to 12 months which will be some way towards equality.
I am very surprised by the statistic on the lack of authority of women architects, in our firm we have never had any problems with our senior women architects on projects, and we get high compliments on their skills in design, project management and site experience dealing with some difficult contractors. I would say that part of this problem could be with male colleagues attitude to women being as good as them if not better.
Give women an equal chance and let them prove themselves worthy of all aspects of the title architect.
Jane Duncan, RIBA equality and diversity champion said:
Is this really the result of a 2014 survey? It is a very sad reflection, and one which must be tackled by greater openness, guidance and leadership.
It is increasingly important to demonstrate that the most successful practices simply refuse to accept that women architects are due less respect than their male counterparts, in any part of their jobs. A cursory glance over the last few Years of AJ Employer of the Year would dispel that assumption.
What we need are more role models – and the RIBA is planning a major diversity role models project this year - and more employers who are prepared to empower their women architects through in-house guidance and promotion, to develop the confidence needed by any architect for their job.
In particular we need surveys like this one to open the conversation – we applaud the AJ for facilitating this.

The 50+ Best War Movies Ever Made, Ranked
List Rules Movies about war and soldiers, or that use a war as a primary setting.
From classics like Saving Private Ryan to newer entries like Dunkirk and 1917, this list ranks the best movies about war, battles, and military conflicts. These films recreate some of the most significant events in world history from a variety of perspectives and with a variety of purposes and intentions. Some top war films attempt to recreate as realistically as possible the events they depict, either from an omniscient perspective permitted by historical study or from the point of view of the soldiers and civilians involved in the conflict itself. Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down, for example, was both praised in its time and heavily criticized for bringing a "you are there" sense of realism - and little outside or cultural perspective - to a recreation of the Battle of Mogadishu. The best war movies of all time differ widely in their handling of the subject matter, but they all strike a chord with viewers now and in the time when they came out.
Some of the greatest war films use war as a backdrop to look at larger issues - such as man's inhumanity to man or the crippling impact of post-traumatic stress - or just as a meditation on war itself. Still other films like Glory and Band of Brothers examine the personal drama of a few individuals, and mine it for larger insights about the meaning of war and the impact that violence has on individual human lives.
Finally, some war films - particularly those made during the classic Hollywood era - are simply adventure films with war providing a compelling setting and situation. The Great Escape, for example, remains a classic not because of its grand ideas about the nature of war, but because it is a ceaselessly entertaining spectacle. No matter what type of film, there's no denying that these are certainly the best war movies ever.
Vote up your favorite war films to move them up the list, and if your favorites are not yet represented, make your own version of the list and add them! Then check out the best war movies on Netflix.

Potential Bio-Control of WNS fungus
Published on October 2, 2014
Written by Admin
Last week, new research was published by Dr. Chris Cornelison and collaborators at Georgia State University. Supported by Bat Conservation International, the researchers describe how a naturally-occurring bacteria is able to control the growth of Pseudogymnoascus destructans, the fungus that causes White-nose Syndrome, in a laboratory setting.
The bacteria is capable of completely inhibiting the growth of the fungus, without coming into direct contact with it.
This shows great promise as a tool to manage the growth of the fungus without having to handle individual bats, in complex environments, like caves and mines. Read the full peer-reviewed journal article.

HealthCorps, the nonprofit organization founded by heart surgeon and two-time Daytime Emmy Award-winning talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz and his wife Lisa, is making sure kids throughout the country understand how to lead a healthy life.
With national peer mentoring programs in 62 high schools in 13 states, their mission is to implement an innovative in-school model that inspires teens to make healthier choices for themselves and their families.
As part of the initiative, last Wednesday Aviation High School in Long Island City held a health fair titled "Aviation Alien Health Invasion."
The event was created by the students, and featured booths about nutrition, physical fitness, mental strength and healthy food.
Booths included ZPB Salsa Flying Saucers making healthy salsa; Planet Fitness, where students learned how exercise can be done anytime, anywhere; Positive Galaxy teaching positive self-appreciation; and Space Photo Booth, where students learned the importance of self-expression.
Lacey Salberg, who began as HealthCorps coordinator at the school in September, said the experience has been amazing so far. She holds events throughout the school year including teen battle chef, Wii dance competitions, and salsa-making workshops.
"We are here to inspire teens to take charge of their health," she said.
Salberg said the most rewarding part of her job is seeing the impact it has on the students. When they tell her they tried a recipe they learned through HealthCorps at home, it means a lot.
"When I see it spreading throughout the community to their families, that makes me know that I'm doing my job," she said.
Flushing resident Matthew Chen, 16, is the student president of HealthCorps and was running the health fair with Salberg. He got involved with the organization last year.
"Students should know about health," Chen said. "They can't just go about life without knowing about any of this."
Sara Hashel of East Elmhurst said after hearing about HealthCorps from her friends, she joined this year. She led an aroma therapy booth, which taught students about alternate ways to relax.
"I like to stay healthy," Hashel said. "It actually impacted me, because I actually eat what she (Salberg) teaches us."
