THE BRAZEN CAREERIST- Gen Z: Learn what they're after
It's great fun to track trends to try to figure out what the future holds. People thought Gen Y's sunny optimism would die down under the ardors of raising kids, but it didn't. And people thought Gen X's cynical, outsider approach would change when they became soccer moms, and it didn't. So it's a safe bet that once you peg a generational trait, it likely won't change much over time. But it could play out in interesting ways.
Gen Z will not be team players.
Gen Y are great team players. In fact, they are so team-oriented that they often feel that nothing is getting accomplished at work unless there has been a team meeting.
But they are not likely to teach the value to their kids. In typical parent fashion, parents stress what they are lacking– why, for example, first-generation immigrants often do not teach the native tongue to their American kids.
One way to read this trend is baby naming. Throughout history, most people have had common names, and common names help people to fit in and be part of a group. Uncommon names make people feel different and encourage them to think of themselves as individuals. Gen Y is naming their kids eccentrically.
Gen Z will be more self-directed.
One of the failings of the helicopter parent generation is that kids had parents telling them what to do all the time. And Gen Y is known for being rule-followers, parent-huggers, and very good students.
Which means they are terrible at figuring out what they want to do. Gen X, on the other hand, was left to its own devices at an early age and is very self-directed. (So self-directed that they are basically unmanageable, but that's another story.)
For Gen Y, the quarterlife crisis is not figuring out what you like or dislike by the time you're 30.
Gen Z will process information at lightning speed.
So much of the workplace today is about processing information. "The brain is designed to change based on experience, a feature called neuroplasticity," Sam Anderson writes in New York magazine. "London taxi drivers, for instance, have enlarged hippocampi, a neural reward for paying attention to the tangle of the city's streets. As we become more skilled at the 21st-century task [of moving through bits of information quickly] the wiring of the brain will inevitably change to deal more efficiently with more information. Neuroscientist Gary Small speculates that the human brain might be changing faster today than it has since the prehistoric discovery of tools."
Gen Z will be smarter.
Generation Y is the most educated generation in US history. By far. They have access to more information and teaching, and they did way more homework than any of their predecessors (which is one reason they're no good at self-direction.) But the next generation could be even smarter, thanks to neuro-enhancers.
Today kids experiment with ADHD medications to use in off-label ways, mostly to be more focused on getting more homework done, so they can have time to party at school.
Margaret Talbot wrote in the New Yorker that a "pretty clear trend across the studies" suggests neuro-enhancers and cognitive enhancing pills could actually become levelers– if dispensed cheaply. And Talbot quotes The British Medical Association as declaring: "Universal access to enhancing interventions would bring up the base-line of cognitive ability, which is generally seen to be a good thing."
How does this affect the workplace? A wider range of people can do cognitively challenging jobs.
And, if you think Gen Y is obnoxious about being better at processing info, think how Gen Y will feel when the next generation tells them their IQ is much higher. Gen Y will probably be getting on the Adderall bandwagon to stay competitive the way today's Baby Boomers clog Facebook.

The Nimbus 7 Temperature-Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR) detected emitted thermal radiation in both the 10.5- to 12.5-micrometer region (IR window) and the 6.5- to 7.0-micrometer region (water vapor). The window channel provided an image of the cloud cover and temperatures of the cloud tops, land, and ocean surfaces. The other channel provided information on the moisture and cirrus cloud content of the upper troposphere and stratosphere, and the location of jet streams and frontal systems. The ground resolution at nadir was 6.7 km for the window channel and 20 km for the water vapor channel. Data from these two channels were used primarily to support other sophisticated meteorological experiments onboard Nimbus 7. The instrument was a non-imaging radiometer consisting of a 12.7 cm Cassegrain system and scanning mirror common to both channels, a beam splitter, filters, and two germanium-immersed thermistor bolometers. Incoming radiant energy was collected by a flat scanning mirror inclined at 45 deg to the optical axis. The mirror rotated through 360 deg at 48 rpm and scanned in a plane normal to the spacecraft velocity. The energy then was focused on a dichroic beam splitter which divided the energy spectrally and spatially. The two channels of this sensor transformed the received radiation into electric outputs (voltages), which were digitized and recorded on magnetic tape for subsequent playback to a ground acquisition station. For more complete information on instrument and data products, see Section 9 in "The Nimbus 7 Users' Guide" (TRF B30045) and the "Nimbus 7 Temperature-Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR) Data User's Guide" (TRF B30601), both available from NSSDC. Except for data being digitized on board, the Nimbus 7 THIR was of the same design and operation as the THIR flown on Nimbus 4, 5, and 6. The instrument was turned off in 1985 to conserve power.

Quick, name as many great educational games as you can!
Chances are your list topped out around four or five and they were all decently dated games from your childhood. Math Blaster, Oregon Trail, Putt-Putt, Pajama Sam, Mavis Bacon Teaches Delicious Typing, etc. There always seems to be one educational game or series that stands out from our days of hammering away in computer class., but even back in the days of blasting math and dying of dysentery there didn't seem to be many quality educational titles to choose from.
"But I'm not a child. I don't need to learn to read or multiply again. I don't need any educational games!" you yell angrily at your computer screen. Well it's true that most educational games are targeted at those who need them most (you know... kids), this doesn't mean that their aren't (and shouldn't be) educational aspects involved in the titles the average gamer plays on a daily basis.
Many children and video game fans associate school and education with unending drudgery. It's not exactly hard to see why, but due to this mentality most big name gaming companies are very apprehensive to advocate or join the educational gaming scene. This is unfortunate due to the not so shocking truth that just about every gamer (and educator) has known for years - most video games are educational in some way. Which brings me to my first point.
Promote the educational aspects of everyday games.
Receiving trophies and unlocking achievements is far from uncommon in the gaming community, but chances are you aren't getting achievements that are highlighting the educational content in your game. Non-educational games, by which I mean ones that don't claim to be educational upfront, are surprisingly enlightening tools that can push children (and everyday folks) in the right direction. Let's look at Animal Crossing. It's a series that is very much geared towards children, yet it includes a TON of reading. Not only is this reading helpful, it is extremely varied and can affect the player in many positive ways. If you have no idea what's going on in Animal Crossing you're not going to have the same experience you should be having, the experience Nintendo wants you to have. That plaid shirt is supposed to go to your snooty elephant neighbor, but you don't know that. Because you can't read well. See the issue?
Thankfully, Nintendo has started promoting the fact that reading can improve your experience in some of their titles. Do you want to have the best adventure you can have in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds? Well, you better be able to read. Otherwise this game just isn't going to be as enjoyable. It's commendable that Nintendo has thrown these positive nods to literacy onto their official box art, but wouldn't it be better if they promoted what you could be gaining instead of what you may need?
Wouldn't it be fantastic if there were educational badges or icons for gaming boxes and sites? ESRB does a wonderful job telling us what's in a game, but there is a good chance we don't realize the skills we could be gaining from simply playing a few hours of a particular title. Problem solving, strategy, history, computation, organization, resource management, design, geometry, word tracking, fluency, literacy in general – there are various educational aspects to promote when it comes to video games due to the sheer amount of different genres involved. Children get excited to play video games. Parents get excited when their children learn. Isn't educational gameplay something developers should be touting?
"Why according to this icon Ni no Kuni promotes literacy. Even the boy on the cover is reading a book! Why don't you play some and work on your reading skills, honey?" - Some future mom, if things go as planned.
Promote the gaming AND educational aspects of educational games.
The problem with titles that claim to be educational today, most of which are mobile titles for phones and tablets, is that they either try to cover up the fact their game is educational at all (better known as "chocolate covered broccoli") or they forget to promote the game aspects because they're too busy assuring you it's educational. There are some wonderful educational games out there, but chances are you haven't heard of them because they fall into one of these extremes.
If the companies who make quality educational titles want to really stand out from the crowd they need to find a way to push the fact that their games are both educational AND have excellent gameplay for their target audience. As someone who has worked on a few educational titles I can assure you this is harder than it sounds, but so is making a quality educational title on a budget. By featuring both aspects of a well thought out learning game developers can appeal to all those involved - parents, kids, teachers and everyone in between. With that being said, not every game even has both of these elements in excess, so it could be hard to promote them. But if this is your problem as a developer you should really...
Attempt to find the perfect edugaming balance and break the mold.
The world of educational gaming brings in hundred of millions of dollars every year, but how many quality educational games do you hear about? While there are some fantastic games out there, there is also a lot of unfortunate shovel-ware floating around. Slap on some bright colors and add the words "ABC" to your title and you've got yourself another poorly made "educational game". Finding the perfect balance of game and education is like hitting the lottery, the chances of it happening seem astronomical. But why not try to get close? I can't think of a game to date that has found this perfect balance, but there are some that are darn close. With that in mind let's take a look at DragonBox (No, not THAT DragonBox).
DagonBox is a mobile game that "secretly" teaches kids algebra concepts via simple puzzles that involve swapping variables. Most folks would think you were insane to try and pitch an algebra game to five year olds, but if it works it works and if it's fun it's fun. This is a perfect example of a game that comes very close to hitting equal parts education and enjoyable gameplay. It certainly makes promoting the game a lot easier.
Kids don't usually swarm to educational games if non-educational games are an option. "Wow fractions! I'd much rather play with those than be a samurai with a katana!" said no kid ever. But why can't the player control a fraction obsessed samurai who cuts up bonsai trees into specific sections? (Patent pending). Let's start making games that show it's users that being smart is not only useful, it's cool.
In the end
There may not seem to be many quality educational titles to choose from, but that's far from the truth. A good number of educational games are simply titles we don't know are improving our brains for the better. Other titles, which are actually educationally based, need to remember that they are representing two separate worlds and advocate for both sides accordingly. Those of us who are lucky enough to be in the business of shaping minds through gaming or teaching need to think outside the box (or inside the DragonBox). Try something new or put a fresh spin on an old idea.
It is my dream that one day educators, developers and gamers around the globe will hold educational gaming as a highly regarded way to teach, but if we want that to happen we need to make a few much needed changes and we need to start making them as soon as possible.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my game of Math Kickers.

1948 Jeep CJ-2A Ice Racer
20 Years of Jeep Heritage
It didn't take long for Americans to realize that Jeeps are capable of far more than just travelling over rough terrain. Jeeps win wars. Jeeps plow fields. And Jeeps also give families a chance to enjoy the great outdoors together. For Kent Anderson and his family, the location of choice is Georgetown Lake in Colorado and the time is winter, when the lake is capped with a foot of ice. The Andersons have been ice racing their '48 CJ-2A with the Our Gang 4 Wheelers for the past thirty years.
Back in 1978, Kent Anderson was daily-driving a Ford Bronco and using it at ice races on the weekends. "This forced me to be very conservative," Kent admitted, "because I had to drive the Bronco to work on Monday." To remedy that issue, he bought his '48 CJ-2A for $300. The original frame is still under the Jeep, but it has been repaired and patched numerous times over the years. Under the frame, the 13/4-inch wide factory leaf springs are still under the axles, but they have been lowered 2 inches with blocks to lower the Jeep's center of gravity. The leaf springs are supplemented by Rancho RS9000 shocks and a modified Jeep factory swaybar mounted at the rear.
The use of short tires allowed the Andersons to lower the Jeep without concerns about the tires rubbing the sheetmetal. The family runs 29x12.50-15 Goodyear Terra tires in the Studs Class, and 205/60-15 street tires with 11/2-inch-long sharpened bolts in the Cheater Class. Steering for the Jeep is handled by a Saginaw box from a Z28 Camaro that offers a super-quick two turns from lock-to-lock. A NASCAR-style power steering pump keeps the fluid from cavitating when subjected to the high RPM and numerous turns of ice racing.
The 2A originally ran a 307 small-block Chevy and a T-90 manual transmission, but the drivetrain has been progressively updated over the years. The current engine is a 350 small-block Chevy punched 0.040-over to 358-cubes built by Ridge Reamer in Arvada, Colorado, that puts out close to 500 horsepower. Kent freshens up the bearings every few years, but the main components have been in place for a decade now. A steel crank and forged rods are used with 14.5:1 compression pistons and a roller cam to make for a snappy, high-rpm screamer. The block is topped with Air Flow Research aluminum heads, an Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake manifold, and a 750 cfm Holley double-pumper. With the high compression ratio, 112-octane race fuel is necessary to keep the engine happy.
Power is routed through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission with a B&M shift improver kit, upgraded clutches, and a 5,500 rpm stall torque converter that launches the flatfender off the line smack in the middle of the peak torque curve. Believe it or not, the factory Spicer 18 withstands all of that horsepower and is still used in conjunction with a Warn overdrive. The axles are vintage as well, although they are not original. A '71 CJ-5 donated its Power-Loc-equipped offset Dana 44 rear to the 2A after it was upgraded with disc brakes. The front axle is open knuckle Dana 30 from a later narrow-track CJ and has factory disc brakes and 5.38 gears to match the rear.
Body and Interior
The body on the flatfender is fiberglass, but it still retains the original look. No comp-cut corners or dovetailed tub here. Unlike the original rusty tub, the steel hood and grille were able to be salvaged and are still in use. The grille was chromed and the headlights deleted to make room for a larger radiator, but the rest of the Jeep is bathed in orange with custom pinstriping. Inside, a tilt column from a Cadillac accommodates a wide range of driver heights and holds a 5-inch Auto Meter Monster Tach. Additional gauges on the aluminum dash monitor coolant temperature, transmission temperature, oil pressure, and voltage.
Safety gear is abundant, as the Anderson's Jeep's primary purpose is competition. A six-point rollcage ties into the cab mounts and surrounds the occupants, who are held in place by RCI racing buckets and Pyrotect five-point harnesses. On the driver-side door bar of the cage, a toggle switch is tied in to line-locks that have been plumbed in reverse to keep the chosen wheel open (instead of locked) when the switch is activated. The line-locks are plumbed to the two front brakes and allow the Andersons to make incredibly tight turns at speed without having to mess with any levers.
Behind the seats, an aluminum fuel cell provides weight balance and feeds the engine. A rear driveshaft hoop keeps the driver safe should a U-joint let go, while a battery disconnect switch at the rear of the cage allows the Jeep to be shut down quickly in the event of a rollover. Kent's wife Calene once rolled the Jeep years ago, but it didn't seem to cause too much harm to Calene or the flatfender, as they were both back to race the following weekend.
Good, Bad, and What's It For
After years of fine tuning, this flatfender accelerates and handles exceptionally well, particularly for a vehicle that is so simple. Racing the Jeep has also become a way for Kent, Calene, Jason, and Heather to spend time together over the years. Of course much of that time is spent in the tow rig, as the Jeep does not have a top or a heater (beyond what radiates from the headers). Those items would just add unneeded complexity, and a good set of insulated Carhartt coveralls seem to do the trick nicely on windy race days at the lake.
Why I Wrote This Feature
It is a flatfender with a V-8 and spikes sticking out of the tires. What more reason do I need than that? "When it stops being fun, I'll let someone else do it," he told me. I kept secretly hoping he would get tired of the Jeep and let me have it after that, but so far that hasn't happened. -Harry Wagner

Every Honda HR-V is powered by an efficient 1.8L 4-cylinder engine which produces 141 horsepower. From there, power is sent to the front wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. The optional automatic is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that is able to alter gear ratios on the fly, allowing for infinitely adjustable gear ratios to optimize fuel economy. All-wheel drive is an option should buyers need it, available on vehicles equipped with a CVT.
The HR-V comes in three basic trims: LX, EX and EX-L. Each offers an extremely competitive list of features for a compact crossover.
The LX comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview backup camera, a 160-watt sound system with speed-sensitive volume control, a 5-inch color LCD screen, an auxiliary input jack, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, a second-row power outlet and of course, power windows and door locks.
The HR-V EX adds a ton of standard features to the HR-V while only adding a couple thousand dollars to the base price. The EX trim comes with a 7-inch touchscreen display for controlling the uprated sound system, heated front seats, a one-touch power moonroof, a multi-angle rearview parking camera, heated mirrors, Pandora radio compatibility, push-button start and a little bit of extra chrome on both the interior and exterior.
The EX-L comes standard with a CVT transmission and is the only trim level to offer the option of a full-on navigation system. The EX-L builds upon the EX by also offering a leather-lined interior, SiriusXM satellite radio, roof rails and an auto-dimming electronic mirror.
Safety features on the HR-V range include anti-lock brakes, traction control and stability control, as well as a hill start feature and a tire pressure monitoring system. The HR-V is equipped with dual-stage front airbags, front side airbags and a side curtain airbag. Honda LaneWatch is standard on EX and EX-L models, which uses tiny cameras in the rearview mirrors to warn the driver about nearby vehicles in neighboring lanes.

According to the definition, the union of two subspaces is not a subspace. That is easily proved to be true. For instance,
Let $U$ contain the general vector $(x,0)$, and $W$ contain the general vector $(0,y).$
Clearly, the union of these two subspaces would not be in either of the subspaces as it will violate closure axioms.
As for the intersection of the two subspaces, I believe I understand the concept. However, I want to be sure of that, and I believe it comes down to the difference between union and intersection as applied to vector/subspaces.
Basically, union - in this context - is being used to indicate that vectors can be taken from both subspaces, but when operated upon they have to be in one or the other subspace. Intersection, on the other hand, also means that vectors from both subspaces can be taken. But, a new subspace is formed by combining both subspaces into one.
To explain, I'll use the same subspaces as above. Let $U$ contain the general vector $(x,0)$, and $W$ contain the general vector $(0,y).$
So, the intersection of $U$ and $V$ would contain the general vector $(x,y)$ (I should say based on what I said above). Therefore, the closure axioms are fulfilled.
Am I correct in my reasoning?
Any feedback is appreciated.

Ice shelf - ocean interaction in the cavity beneath the Amery Ice ShelfEntry ID: ASAC_1164
Click to see members of this collection.
Abstract: ---- Public Summary from Project ----
Most of the snow falling on inland Antarctica drains via large ice streams and floating ice shelves to the sea where it lost by iceberg calving or as melt beneath the shelves. Ocean interaction beneath the shelves is complicated, and regions of basal refreezing as well as melt occur. These processes are important not only because they are a major component ... of the Antarctic mass budget, but because they also modify the characteristics of the ocean, influencing the formation of Antarctic Bottom Water which plays a major role in the global ocean circulation. The processes are sensitive to climate change, and shifts in ocean temperature or circulation near Antarctica could lead to the disappearance of all Antarctic ice shelves.
The Amery
Ice Shelf is the major embayed shelf in East Antarctica, and the subject of considerable previous ANARE investigation. Ocean interaction processes occurring beneath the shelf are only poorly understood, and this project will directly measure water characteristics and circulation in the cavity underneath the ice shelf, and the rates of melt and freezing on the bottom of the shelf. These measurements will be made through a number of access holes melted through the shelf. The project is closely linked with other projects investigating the circulation and interactions in the open ocean to the north of the shelf, and studies of the ice shelf flow and mass budget.

Taken from the 2008-2009 Progress Report:
Progress Against Objectives:
The work undertaken in the past 12 months has continued to relate chiefly to the first of our objectives - "quantify the characteristics and circulation of ocean water in the cavity beneath the Amery Ice Shelf". Data from the AMISOR project have provided the first record of a seasonal cycle of ice shelf-ocean interaction. After recovering the 2008 data we now have near-continuous oceanographic data from beneath the Amery at 3 different depths for 6, 6, 3, and 3 years from 4 different sites. Note that the instruments at AM01 and AM02 (6 annual cycles of data each) are no longer recording due to expiration of the onboard batteries (3-5 years expected life cycle). This allows us to investigate the "real" 3-D, seasonally varying, circulation and melt/freezing cycle beneath an ice shelf - rather than the steady state, simplified "2-D ice pump circulation" that has mostly been assumed previously.
As much as 80% of the continental ice that flows into the Amery Ice Shelf from the Lambert Glacier basin is lost as basal melt melt beneath the southern part of the shelf, but a considerable amount of ice is also frozen onto the base in the north-western part of the shelf. These processes of melt and refreezing are due to a pattern of water circulation beneath the ice shelf which is driven by sea ice formation outside the front of the shelf. Our multi-year data from 4 sites beneath the Amery ice shelf show that there is a very strong seasonal cycle in the characteristics of the ocean water beneath the shelf, and strong interseasonal variability in this. The seasonal cycle is driven mostly by the seasonal cycle of sea ice formation and decay in Prydz Bay, and interseasonal variations are due to differences in the general ocean circulation, and in particular the upwelling of Circumpolar Deep Water onto the continental shelf in Prydz Bay. The melt and freeze processes beneath the ice shelf, also themselves modify the water characteristics.
Taken from the 2009-2010 Progress Report:
The AMISOR project drilled two new 600 m deep boreholes on the Amery Ice Shelf in 2009-10: the first on the marine ice flowline to enhance understanding of the re-freezing process beneath the shelf; and the second in a region of known interest with respect to circulation patterns in the ocean cavity below the shelf. Instrument deployments at both sites should provide valuable annual cycle data over the next 4-5 years.

Zucker: Hulu's Not Backing Away From Anti-Boxee Stance
Brief update from NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker re Hulu's back-and-forth with Boxee, the software that makes it easy to move online video services like Hulu to your TV: Zucker says Hulu, the joint venture between GE's (GE) NBC, News Corp.'s (NWS) Fox and soon, Disney's (DIS) ABC, still doesn't want Hulu on Boxee.
During his D7 interview with Kara Swisher today, Zucker was asked about the company's stance on Boxee, which it is trying to keep Hulu-free, with limited success: "Right now we're committed to Hulu being an online experience, and that's where our vision is today, and I think that will continue."
What does that mean? For now, it means that the cat-and-mouse game between Hulu and Boxee's engineers will continue. I've heard rumblings that this could one day escalate to legal action, and I know that the Hulu camp believes that Boxee is violating its Terms of Service. But last I heard (as of last week) it hadn't gotten to that point. Which is good for both sides, as a legal fight would be expensive and stupid.

It's hard to get that way without a uterus.
Those little boogers just don't have a place to hang their hats!
That doesn't keep Jake from trying, though.
In our case, it won't pay off…but, the process is fun!
My best friend from high school is knocked up for the first time.
My neighbor's knocked up.
Some good friends of our family…she's knocked up.

"Star Trek Beyond" is boldly going where the franchise has never gone before.
In "Star Trek Beyond" — the third in the rebooted franchise — Hikaru Sulu, played by John Cho, will be the series' first LGBT character. Sulu and his partner are also parents to a daughter.
Cho revealed the news in an interview with Australian newspaper The Herald Sun Thursday. Cho and other cast members traveled to Sydney to promote the new film.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
He said director Justin Lin and co-writer Simon Pegg decided to make Sulu gay as a nod to George Takei, who played the part in the original "Star Trek" series and movies. Takei came out as gay in 2005 and married his partner in 2008. It was also a sign of what Cho called the changing times.
"I liked the approach, which was not to make a big thing out [of] it, which is where I hope we are going as a species, to not politicize one's personal orientations," Cho told the newspaper.
Takei told The Hollywood Reporter Thursday that he's "delighted that there's a gay character," but called the news "unfortunate."
"Unfortunately, it's a twisting of Gene's [Roddenberry, the creator of the "Star Trek" series] creation, to which he put in so much thought. I think it's really unfortunate," Takei said.
Takei said Rodenberry approached Sulu as a straight man.
Sulu's partners have been notably absent on "Star Trek" up until now. But in the 1994 movie "Star Trek Generations" — the first in the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" film franchise — his daughter Demora was shown as an adult.
"Star Trek" has often showcased what were once considered daring plot lines about gender identity and LGBT representation.
Many minor characters are members of the LGBT community in "Star Trek" novels and comic books, and androgynous species have been introduced on series such as "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
On the 1990s series "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," Terry Farrell's Jadzia Dax played a joined Trill, a humanoid with a symbiont — a parasite-like being —implanted in her body that possessed the memories of past, deceased Trill hosts. In one episode, Jadzia and another joined female Trill whose symbionts once inhabited the bodies of a male and female couple made "Star Trek" history by exchanging the franchise's first romantic same-sex kiss.
"Star Trek Beyond" is set for release on July 22. The movie also stars returning actors Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban and Anton Yelchin, who died last month at age 27. Idris Elba makes his debut as a villain named Krall.

Mars Express supports Phoenix Mars landing
Today at 00:57 UTC (02:57 CEST), crucial data recorded by ESA's Mars Express during Phoenix's descent to the Martian surface were successfully received at the European Space Operations Centre.
The European Space Agency today completed a key step in the Agency's ongoing support to NASA's Phoenix mission, when signals from Phoenix recorded by Mars Express were successfully received at ESA's Space Operations Centre (ESOC), Darmstadt, Germany.
The signals were monitored between 23:21 - 23:47 UTC (01:21 - 01:47 CEST 26 May) during the lander's critical entry, descent and landing (EDL) phase, and were received by the European spacecraft via the Mars Express Lander Communications (MELACOM) system.
New friend in the neighbourhood
"Congratulations to our NASA colleagues on a hugely successful landing. The Mars Express team welcomes a new friend in the neighbourhood," said Paolo Ferri, Head of the Solar and Planetary Missions Division at ESOC.
Confirmation of ESA's support to the landing came in the early morning of 26 May at 00:52 UTC (02:52 CEST), after a 17-minute download transmitted from Mars Express via NASA's Deep Space Network; the data will be downloaded twice again to ensure fidelity.
The data were immediately made available to NASA, and will assist scientists to analyse Phoenix's entry, descent and landing (EDL) performance, comparing the actual to the planned trajectory.
In the coming days, Mars Express will monitor Phoenix using MELACOM 15 more times; at least one of these will be used to demonstrate and confirm that the ESA spacecraft can be used as a data relay station for NASA, receiving data from the surface and transmitting test commands to the lander.

As predicted, Tangerine Tango has proven to be a very popular color this year, and I think it has legs. While we wait for the color of the year 2013, Pantone has provided designers with a trend forecast for this fall, as published last year. We are seeing it take shape, and these more bright than muted colors happily coexist with almost anything!
|Jeffery Bilhuber
If enveloping yourself in one of these colors seems like too much of a commitment, like anything else, a little goes a long way. Know thyself; there's something for everyone. Add touches of these saturated colors for an instant update. Take a cue from these pictures and mix these colors together. They're wonderfully complementary ~

Nicknamed "The City of Big Shoulders," Chicago sets the bar pre y high.But with its strollable neighborhoods, sunny lakefront parks and thriving food scene, America's third-largest city more than carries the load
Author Layla Schlack Photography Bob Stefko
DAY 1 | This is not a trip on which to count calories, starting with breakfast at local favorite Original Pancake House (1). The enormous, fluffy, oven-baked omelets and the loaded baked apple pancake are house specialties—you're on your own to answer the age-old question of sweet or savory. Fortified, you set out to explore the Gold Coast (2). Once home to the city's steel magnates and retail tycoons (along with Abraham Lincoln's son), this has been a posh neighborhood since soon after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Feel the lake breeze and drift into posh boutiques such as Shrine haberdasher and the Euro-inspired Sarca, as well as more well-known brands such as Marc Jacobs.
Journeying south, you eventually hit the Magnificent Mile, Chicago's shopping mecca, marked by the Water Tower (3). One of the only structures to survive the fire, this building looks like a fairytale castle, and to fashionistas it kind of is. Familiar clothing outlets like J. Jill and Lacoste line the shiny interior alongside the shimmering storefronts of several jewelers.
Take a quick diversion off of Michigan Avenue for lunch at Portillo's Hot Dogs (4). The Chicago-style dogs—with pickle relish, hero peppers, chopped tomato, onions, mustard and a pickle spear on a poppyseed bun—are delicious. An equally good choice, though, is the heartier Italian beef sandwich with hot and sweet peppers, served au jus. The thinly sliced roast beef and roasted sweet peppers melt into the now-soggy bread, with the hot peppers and giardiniera (Chi-town's signature mix of pickled veggies) adding just the right amount of kick.
You roll yourself out of the restaurant grateful that your next activity involves sitting and amble south- east to the Chicago River for the Chicago Architecture Foundation's boat tour (5). Cruising down the waterway, you'll get a who's who of great architects—Mies van der Rohe, Daniel Burnham and Charles B. Atwood, to name a few—who masterminded career-defining structures to make their mark on the city. The volunteer guides, mostly practicing or retired architects, also spin the fascinating tale of how the city fathers rebuilt very deliberately after the Second Industrial Revolution– era fire, creating parks and beachfront all around the bustling downtown.
Ninety minutes later, you step off the boat with a great appreciation for the city's past. Ready to learn about its present, you make a quick stop at the Chicago Cultural Center (6). Regulars come here for the expertly roasted Intelligentsia coffee and WiFi, but stick around for the rotating art exhibits, mostly the work of local artists.
Check into the Elysian Hotel (7), a posh, almost unmarked villa set back from the street to make you feel as if you're escaping the city for a night. Take a few minutes to explore your massive room and soak in the view from the balcony. The rooftops below are planted with grass to absorb rainwater and provide insulation. The foliage ripples slightly, making for an urban landscape like none you've ever seen. But you don't have too much time to take it all in—you've got to eat.
Tonight's dinner is at Rick Bayless' much-lauded Frontera Grill (8). You can't go wrong with anything on the menu at this upscale Mexican cantina. The food is fresh, flavorful and perfectly accented by a spicy cocktail called the Michelada Moderna—like a Bloody Mary but made with beer. Feeling adventurous, you try the goat taquitos, which arrive sprinkled in queso fresco and turn to butter in your mouth. Linger over dinner, taking in the clubby digs before you retire to the cloudlike king bed at the Elysian.

text: Dr. Gary M. Lovett Forest Ecologist Share: January 20, 2008 | by Daniel Katz Forests While walking through the woods in the Hudson Valley, it is common to stumble upon the remnants of stone walls. Now mossy and overgrown, they date back to a time when agriculture dominated the landscape. In those days, the Hudson Valley was a patchwork of farms and only the steepest of slopes and the rockiest of areas remained forested. Now, more than a century later, the forest has returned, and 56 percent of Dutchess County is once again wooded.But the forests of today are quite different from the sparse woods of the late 19th century, let alone the primordial expanses Henry Hudson encountered when he first sailed up the Hudson River.Forest change can arise from internal processes, such as the natural succession of trees as a forest ages, and external factors, such as exotic diseases and climate change. Both of these processes, in turn, can be influenced by human activities. Because most trees are long-lived, studying these interactions is difficult. An absence of long-term data compounds the problem. After all, not many people take the time to count the trees in a forest, much less every tiny seedling, sapling and shrub.Luckily, in 1984, founding members of the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies conducted a meticulous survey of the forest on the institute's 2,000-acre campus. Since that time, the forest has not been harvested or developed. This provided a unique opportunity to relocate the original survey plots, remeasure them and calculate how the forest has changed over the years.Several shifts noticedOur measurements have identified a number of shifts in the composition of the institute's forest. Most pronounced were increases in red oak and sugar maple, declines in chestnut oak, and severe declines in flowering dogwood. Each shift is the end result of a complicated history, which can be tied to particular events that unfolded in the forest.For instance, in the early 1980s gypsy moth outbreaks led to massive defoliations that triggered mortality of chestnut oak, while being less destructive to its cousin, the red oak. Likewise, our data show that flowering dogwood, a beautiful understory tree, has suffered extensive population declines because of the fungal disease known as dogwood anthracnose. An increase in sugar maple and a decrease in red maple may be largely because of natural forest succession, as sugar maple is better adapted to the shady conditions common in mature forests.These changes are important because the rise or fall of even a single tree species can have profound consequences for the entire forest ecosystem. For example, the increasingly common red oak produces acorns that last throughout the winter season, providing a steady source of nourishment for animals like the white-footed mouse. The white-footed mouse, in turn, plays a crucial role in the dynamics of Lyme disease. When mouse population density increases, Lyme disease incidence also tends to increase.As our forests face an arsenal of threats from climate change, air pollution, imported pests and invasive plant species, this type of big-picture thinking is becoming more and more critical. Simply put, we can't manage what we don't understand.For this reason, the continued monitoring of forests and other natural resources is absolutely essential, and should be supported not only by those of us who hike, hunt, own land, or just love New York maple syrup, but also by everyone who cares about the future of the Hudson River Valley. Share: Dr. Gary M. Lovett Forest Ecologist Northeastern forests are threatened by air pollution, climate change, and invasive forest pests. Gary Lovett studies the impacts of these stressors on forest productivity and water quality.Through Congressional briefings and interactions with state and federal agency staff, Lovett is promoting Tree-SMART Trade – a series of federal policy actions that would reduce the introduction of new forest pests.

True Blood, a show where one character can literally explode in another's crotch, and no, I don't just mean sex. Yes, of course, there was sex; this is True Blood! And last night, a whole lotta ground-shaking crotch explosions occurred—but no actual plot advancement, mostly just nonsense and crotch stuff.
Before I get into the one of the first amazing crotch exploding scenes, moment-by-moment, pro-and-con style, I would like to give a big shout out to everyone who was just as excited as I was to see Jason and Eric get it on. When I went over to Tumblr and searched "True Blood," this is what awaited me. Well done everyone.
And now, on to the pro/con recap, written (mostly) as I was experiencing it.
Pro: OMG it's Eric. IT'S ERIC!!!!!!
*Stands Up And Runs Around The House Waving Hands Making The Silent Cheer Scream*
Pro: I couldn't catch the name of this lovely villa-esque hotel, but if I had to guess it's probably called "Miss Jackson Hotel If You're Nasty… For Sex," because this sweepy camera angle, Vaseline lens and rose-tinted filter has our "sex is happening" light a flashin'. And I am getting a strong The Velvet Rope vibe from all these red curtains.
Pro: Eric goes to the window, looks out, and untucks his shirt. Why? Because he just got off the train from a three hour commute, his feet are killing him, his head is pounding and he just needs five minutes. Five minutes all to himself. Five minutes, OK? THANK YOU.
Pro: Enter... Jason, to which I respond with an aroused version of the Home Improvement title noise.
Pro: And Eric and Jason are already eye-fucking the absolute shit out of each other. If anyone had any doubts, they have all been erased, sex is happening.
Pro: Jason is freaking out because he just wants Eric to love him (we feel you).
Pro: Vampire Mixologist Eric responds.
Pro: Wait, wait, wait, Eric makes the drink for Jason? Look, I know these two are five shakes of a lamb's tail away from creating the two-backed beast, but this was surprising—and thoughtful. Eric even remembered the twist!
Pro: Jason's go-to seduction move is to shove Eric. Aaaaaand it works!
Pro: I'm pro/conning the slightest decisions of what I'm certain is a sex dream of a fictional character in a vampire show mostly about sex. Someone call 2004 Journalism School Graduate Meredith Woerner and tell her not to worry about the future!
Pro: And now the actual caressing rub down, passionate kisses, the works! Cue Sergio!
Pro: Jason and Eric get the whole '90s sexy body camera pan treatment. There's lots of gasping and moaning, and I know this is all adult stuff and I should be an adult about it, but I can't help but feel like this is actually a parody the Top Gun sex scene—like a parody of the sex scene parody in Hot Shots.
Pro: I mean after the countless Sookie scenes, it's nice to see some blond-on-blond fella action.
Pro: LOL, as I predicted, it's all just a sex dream. And it has absolutely no impact on the show's plot whatsoever. I love this vampire hump show.
Con: As I predicted, it has no impact on this terrible, terrible plot whatsoever. I hate this vampire hump show.
Pro: Basically, True Blood says, "Happy pride, y'all!"
Con: And now we pick up right after the church meeting. Let's hope this episode makes more sense than the last one... oh wait, no... Sookie just now decides to tell the entire police force of Bon Temps that she saw a dead body yesterday and was like, "Hey, a dead body. You know what movie I haven't seen in a long time? Stand By Me."
Pro: Mayor Sam stands like this.
Pro: Hey, Alcide. *Little Nod*
Pro: Maxine Fortenberry has a personal cooling device around her neck as she exists the church. True Blood props and costume department, I see you.
Con: The pastor tells Sam he needs to keep the people busy, so Sam sends them to clean his old bar. Good idea, Mayor Sam. This will in no way blow up in your face.
Con: Lettie Mae Daniels gets more screen time. Why is Lettie Mae Daniels getting more screen/plot time? She's "going to go visit Lafayette," and I do not like this.
Con: This vampire, and his whole Irish/Aussie/My Fair Lady accent.
Con: Spending more time in Fangtastia, the airtight, well established vampire hangout that no one has thought to out check yet. I'm happy to hang out with Arlene and her whole, "that vampire taught our keeeeeds" shtick. But I am FULL UP on new vampires and other new characters. Even the Hep-V vampires, these people have got to go. This is the final season I don't want to spend it with new assholes. I want to spend it with the assholes I spent the last six years watching.
Pro: Arlene threatens the writers of this show: "I did not survive four lousy husbands, a serial killer boyfriend and the sort of suicide of my love Terry to die in the dingy basement of a fucking vampire bar." Do not do to me what you did to Tara last week, please.
Con: Sookie takes the law enforcement back to the body she found in the woods and quotes something she read off a tombstone (believe it) about the brutal indifference of life. Hey Sooks, where was your compassion for this poor soul when you stumbled over her cold, dead body the previous night and decided, "No, no, first I need some Jack Daniels and some sex, and then I'll report to the authorities about the poor dead girl in my backyard. I'm sure the coyotes won't eat her face off too much for an open casket funeral." Please, someone, please call her out on this bullshit.
Con: ROAD TRIP!
Pro: Meanwhile, Lafayette is everything.
Pro: Lafayette continues to be everything while this Lettie Mae story rolls on. I'm not saying I don't like the actress who plays Tara's mother (she's sensational) but I just don't want to spend anymore time with this character than I have to. Thankfully, this moment was perfection:
Lettie Mae: "You're going to HELL!"
Lafayette: "That's what this is." *waves hand*
Lafayette is an underutilized gem, and it breaks my heart that this is the last year we will spend with this character. But thank goodness we still have moments like this.
Con: FUCK ALL THESE NEW CHARACTERS AND THIS STORYLINE.
Con: Thanks to Vince the human penis, we now have a Bon Temps riot on our hands. And all the citizens are breaking broomsticks and the handles of potato mashers over their knees like it's no thing.
Con: Cut back to the vampire bar, where vampires have been hanging out for years and yet no human character thinks to look for vampires there, Arlene and company remind the Hep-V kidnappers that they all used to be buddies.
Pro: Watching Arlene try and con this Vampire Teacher is so wonderfully obvious that I was waiting for Arlene to pull out a cigar and exclaim, "I love it when a plan comes together." But this is True Blood... so instead of being saved a lot of really horrific sex stuff happened.
C0n: And now for a 10-minute deviation to the town of Saint Alice because of that body that they found.
Pro: Katrina, got it.
Pro: Mayor Sam gets this week's LOL for having to climb up the fence to read this message.
Con: The Scooby gang discovers a mass grave, which 1) pretty clever of the Hep-V vamps to construct that grave and keep everything organized, and 2) how did they not SMELL this?
Con: Sookie, Alcide, Sam (the elected Mayor of Bon Temps) and the only other cops from Bon Temps do not immediately leave to warn their people about the mass grave they just discovered.
Con: Kenya is outwitted by the stupid mob. Kenya, we expected more from you. She then arms the entire town with the police's supply of guns and ammunition and has absolutely zero problem when they decide to start firing them off inside the police station. In the hallways. You are a cop for crissakes. I hate everyone involved in this storyline.
Con: Guns bad, got it.
Pro: Jessica can feel the Faeby getting imprisoned with Holly's son (who's working a very aggressive pompadour style right now). Also, snaps to Jessica and her bold choice to wear all the turquoise jewelry. I too went through a very aggressive "let's buy all the turquoise jewelry and wear it all at once," phase.
Con: Jessica can't reach Sookie because she threw her phone away last episode. Because everyone in this town is good at one thing: making horrible decisions.
Con: The gang made up of most of Bon Temps law enforcement and their government continues to not go back to Bon Temps and warn the town about the gigantic amount of death they just witnessed. Instead, they go to the dead girl's house. Why? Because there are 52 minutes in this episode and it can't all be Eric having sex with Jason.
Pro: However, maybe it was all worth it for Jason's "Pizza Forensics" line. Pizza Forensics would also make a great name for a band made up entirely of junior high science teachers.
Con: Alcide and Sookie go upstairs in the dead girl's house, looking for, I don't know, clues? Hey guys, I'm pretty sure it was the swarm of Hep-V vampires that did it. And those vampires are not in that house. Wait, do these characters think maybe the Hep-V vampires are hiding in this house? Like everyone is in the closet or something? Why are they still in this house?
Con: Sookie finds the dead girl's diary and thinks, "You know what? We've got all the time in the world. I'll start reading this chick's diary from a few years back."
Con: There are eight episodes left of this series. Not season, series. And we are spending minutes listening to Sookie Stackhouse read the diary of another person and then flashing back to her own history, a.k.a. the first season. Serious question: Does True Blood think we don't remember the first season? Who do they think is still watching this show?
Con: Tara is back as a crucified ghost speaking in tongues with that yellow snake from the Britney Spears "Slave" VMA awards.
There are no words...
This whole scene makes about as much sense as Tara's entire existence on this series so OK I will allow it because I'm tired and weak.
Pro: When Vampire Teacher volunteered to monitor the sleeping, I swear I heard the theme from The Great Escape.
Pro: I know I've been harping on the "new characters" quite a bit, but Vampire Teacher is exempt from this. Why? Because she reminds me of exactly why I fell in love with this show. She isn't a sexy, young vampire with boner fangs and Hot Topic costumes. She looks like a teacher. She has teacher clothes and a teacher haircut, but she just happens to be a vampire. And in this case, she just happens to be a vampire with Hep-V who is dying and making really rash decisions.
More importantly, Vampire Teacher reminds me of the Eddie and Lafayette story from the first season—the older vampire who didn't look like the traditional vampire. He liked to listen to the Bangles and be with Lafayette. In return, Lafayette was paid in Eddie's blood, which he then sold on the V-Juice black market. The relationship made sense, but more importantly, it was so refreshingly new. Anyone could be a vampire. And dealing with each individual vampire would be similar to dealing with a random person you pulled off the street (except they may or may not eat you). Everyone was different. That idea was a great idea.
Remember the first-ever True Blood vampire? He was a Louisiana hillbilly who was super insulted by a bunch of kids' desire to poke fun at the vampire cult. He didn't even "drop fang" first; he disciplined the offending teens. And when they were dicks back, then he threatened to eat them. I miss that part of this series, pushing the strange, new "out of the coffin" aspect of this show. I also miss the surprise of who is and who isn't a vampire. So yes, I love Vampire Teacher.
Pro: And, on the flip side of the smart new vampires, I love that this show "had" to have Vampire Teacher basically go down on Arlene to help them break out. And of course, while she was down there bobbing her head in the most hilarious "oh this show" way ever, she died and exploded blood all over Arlene's crotch. Because just when you think things are getting smart, forget it folks; this is True Blood town.
Con: Blah blah, Andy finds out Jessica is in the attic. Sookie tells Alcide, "Thanks for driving me, but you stink. JK, I'm going to my other boyfriend's house. IT WAS ALL A TRICK." And I guess now Bill is involved somehow. Don't care.
Con: Most Important. Pam finds Eric. Eric has Hep-V. I just... I can't...
If this show doesn't finish with Eric—and I mean the last fucking episode—I will burn down my house.
So all in all, this was a random as hell episode. It was a mix of weird pandering with a sex scene that has nothing to do with character growth or plot. It was just there to be there. And while it was very hot (possibly top 2 hottest TB sex scenes of all time) it was very, "Here's some sex." And (as I stated earlier) we know this show is smarter than that. True Blood used to be pretty good at showcasing real-life relationships in interesting ways, but what we got was fan fiction.
Russell Edgington's epic mourning murder spree over the loss of his lover Talbot was not only gruesome, but you almost felt for the vengeful human-hating psychopath. Hoyt and Jessica, I'm still not sure I can talk about them out loud without getting choked up. As much fun as it was to watch Jason tackle Eric, it rang hollow, because it was just cheesy dream sex for the sake of having cheesy dream sex. Where's the heart?
But as a sex scene that stands alone as a sex scene, "Hey Game of Thrones, you just got served."

Destinee Hooker, Kristin Richards Hildebrand Earn USAV Postseason Honors
Bill Kauffman
USA Volleyball Communications
Phone: 719-228-6800
Email: email@example.com
@USA_Volleyball - USAV Facebook
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dec. 10, 2012) – Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) has been named the USA Volleyball Indoor Female Athlete of the Year for 2012, while Kristin Richards Hildebrand (Orem, Utah) has been selected as USA Volleyball's Most Improved Player in the indoor female athlete category.
Hooker concluded the 2012 season with a 5.31 scoring average per set that included 4.36 kills per set on a .345 hitting efficiency. She added averages of 0.80 blocks and 1.81 digs per set.
"Thank you USA Volleyball for the award I truly appreciate it," Hooker said. "I owe it all to my teammates and the coaching staff - I couldn't have done it without them. The team has worked really hard these past four years. It has been an honor being on the court with some of the world's best athletes and coached by a few of the best coaches in the nation as well as the world. Again I want to say thank you for the award and for the opportunity to represent the USA. God bless."
"It's difficult to single out one person's contribution on a team that had so many great players," said Hugh McCutcheon, who served as the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team head coach this past Olympic quadrennial. "However, we felt that Destinee's play in 2012 was worthy of this recognition. She consistently carried a significant offensive load for our team and she worked hard in other areas of her game to become a complete player. She is one of the best attackers in the world of women's volleyball, and when you combine that with her ability to compete, she can absolutely dominate an opponent."
Hooker helped the U.S. secure its second consecutive Olympic Games silver medal at the 2012 London Games.

"What a humbling surprise and honor," Richards Hildebrand said. "Receiving this award would mean a lot in any circumstance but receiving it this year in particular, it means even more. After losing my mom earlier this year to an inspiring battle with breast cancer, I struggled with whether or not I was even going to return to the USA program, or volleyball at all. I decided to for a few reasons, but among them was because my USA teammates had become, and are, my family, and the opportunity to compete alongside them at the highest level in the world is one I could not pass up. They, along with our coaching staff, supported me in an unbelievably special way through this summer, helping me get through all the hard moments which allowed me to play freely and improve at the game I'm passionate about. I couldn't be more grateful for them, or our entire USA Volleyball family."
