Dear Carolyn: When a woman chooses to take her husband's name, is it obnoxious if I ask, "Why is this the right decision for you?" and then really listen to the answer?
I'm genuinely curious why people still make this choice. If I thought the majority of wives-to-be had put great thought into the decision, then it would not bother me. I just hate the assumption that a woman will do this, whereas a man would not. And it is an assumption; the friends who have not changed their names get a shocking amount of crap for it.
- Name Changes
A: So why would you look for polite ways, then, to give women "a shocking amount of crap" for taking a husband's name - finding them guilty of sexist assumptions until they prove themselves innocent?
From here, you appear to be violating the same boundary as those who shame women for keeping their names, by acting as jury on whether a woman has "put great thought" into her name. Neither the quantity of thought nor validity of the philosophy applied is any of your business - and treating it as such implies that you expect women to represent their demographic the way you think they should, versus the way each of them actually wants to. And that includes rejecting the very idea that being female makes them spokespeople for anyone besides themselves.
Now, if you simply want to understand, and have no agenda to push, then by all means, make like a scientist and start gathering data. But if the agenda is there, then obnoxious it is, and these women will read it right off your sleeve.
Nothing to prove
Dear Carolyn: My eldest son graduated magna cum laude from a prestigious university and went Army ROTC his junior year. He went into the infantry, got his Ranger tab and a Bronze Star when he was in Afghanistan, among other distinctions. He feels it is the best decision he ever made as he's become a competent leader.
I'm frequently asked, "How could you let him go into the military?" I'm floored by this on several levels. What's the best way to respond?
- Anonymous
A: Every bit of your pride in your son is deserved; that's not the problem. The problem is, you apparently still feel you have something to prove.
I say that because responding to these people is easy: "Seriously? I'm so proud of him I could plotz." (Or "I'm flattered you think I have such power over him" or "I know, right? Why couldn't he stay safe in my basement playing video games!")
And when people bypass simple solutions to write to someone like me, that tends to mean there's an ulterior motive on board. If you have one, then please take a hard look to see what it means.

A recession is often a time for cutting back and saving on the extravagances in life. However, sometimes it is also an occasion to say "what the heck" and engage in a little indulgence—such as flying by helicopter to attend the UK's most popular motor racing event of the year.
The British Formula 1 Grand Prix at Silverstone (which runs Friday July 6th through Sunday July 8th) is that annual event. It regularly attracts a huge crowd over the race weekend. In 2011, 88,000 attended on the Friday of the three-day race weekend—and remember this is a day with no qualification timing, just practice. On Saturday, the official race qualifying day, the figure rose to 105,000. Finally on Sunday, a record 122,000 swarmed to the ex-Royal Air Force airfield in the north Buckinghamshire countryside to see Sebastian Vettel in his Red Bull racing car repeat his victory of 2009.
Needless to say, in spite of excellent road improvement schemes in recent years—which have been partially successful in reducing the traffic congestion—in the immediate area of the raceway, the sheer volume of people traveling to the racetrack for a specific start time still causes inevitable long queues.
The best way to avoid this mayhem, especially on a hot day (yes, it even occasionally happens in the UK), is to fly in by helicopter. This can either be in one of the flights a few minutes flying time away from the racetrack, usually just off the M1 motorway, or from an airport further afield.
With six weeks to go before this year's race, the new owners of Battersea heliport in central London—now called the Barclays London Heliport—were anticipating the best weekend of the year in terms of bookings. The trip from this central London location takes only 25 minutes.
Private equity and real estate entrepreneurs, the Reuber Brothers, bought the London heliport in Battersea in February this year. It is the only London-based heliport licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
"We have already confirmed more slots for the Grand Prix than in the last four years," said heliport manager Simon Hutchins, adding that "bookings are up 100 percent and counting on last year's event." He continued: "The slot allocation for Sunday (race day itself) is almost fully utilized and Saturday is heading towards maximum capacity too." However, 15 percent of bookings are connecting passengers arriving at one of London's airports into the motor racing circuit.
Flight bookings into Silverstone still have some way to go before passing an exceptional record set at the British Grand Prix in 1999. On a single day from dawn to dusk the temporary Silverstone heliport recorded 4,200 aircraft movements (one movement being a landing or take-off). The airfield was fully licensed with used 24 air traffic controllers during the day. It utilized six air traffic control radio frequencies with an additional continuous message broadcast service (ATIS). Finally, all movements were coordinated on a Visual Flight Rule (VFR) basis without the assistance of radar or other electronic navigation aids.
Little has changed since then, even air control on a VFR basis. This year's CAA information notice states that maximum movement rates have been agreed through experience gained over the years. The raceway's air traffic control (ATC) has a slot system that regulates departures and arrivals, which operators have to adhere to. All feeder sites must submit their applications a month in advance together with the estimated number of aircraft movements from that site.
The Silverstone heliport is based on a single-circuit Final Approach and Take-Off area (FATO). The heaviest helicopter permitted to operate into the circuit is a Sikorsky S-76 or equivalent. Silverstone limits remain at 5 km and 800 feet AGL (1,300 ft AMSL based on Silverstone QNH).
Note: RAF Silverstone was opened as a training station in 1943 and operated the Vickers Wellington bomber. Its classic three runway format in World War II triangle formation still lie within the racetrack.

What Abzu means
The most frequently asked question from users of Abzu is about the meaning of the word "Abzu". The publication in the early Summer of 1995 of the third fascicle of the Pennsylvania Assyrian Dictionary
Sjöberg, Åke, [Editor]. The Sumerian Dictionary of the University of Pennsylvania. Volume 1: A, Part II. With the collaboration of Hermann Behrens, Antoine Cavigneaux , Barry L. Eichler, Margaret W. Green, Erle Leichty, Darlene M. Loding, Steve Tinney. Philadelphia: The Babylonian Section of the University Museum; 1995. 1 volume (xlii + 202 pages). ISBN: 0-924171-35-9.
offers the opportunity to give an explanation. That volume defines the word Abzu in an extended article running from page 184 to page 202. Their heading reads as follows:
abzu wr. ab-su, ab-zu, ab2-zu, absu(SU.AB), abzu(ZU.AB), abzu2(DE2)
1. the abzu as Enki's shrine / temple in Eridu 2. the abzu in locations other than Eridu 3. the abzu as a (partly?) subterranean structure 4. the abzu as a mythical place where the life influencing powers reside and where their results, as well as the means to influence their effects, originate 5. the abzu described as incomprehensible, unfathomable, secret 6. the abzu as a place producing raw materials 7. abzu in DN 8. abzu in TN 9. abzu in PN; Archaic, Presarg., Gudea, Ur III, OB, Post-OB

A bride is getting dressed for her wedding -- it's Susan! The ceremony apparently goes swimmingly, with all in attendance. Then, halfway down the aisle, the newly re-wed couple is stopped by Katherine, looking disheveled. Cut to earlier, and we see that Mike talked to Katherine, and she accepted things and gave him his engagement ring back. Susan hemmed and hawed over going to see her until her wedding dress was accidentally delivered to Katherine, and Kath tried it on while making a big tomato sauce. Kath finally confronts Susan before the wedding and tells her she needs to apologize during the ceremony, so Susan promptly locks her in the closet. She busts out just in time to greet the recessing couple, and Susan gives a long, heartfelt apology, which Katherine kinda accepts, but then she says she is not Susan's friend any more.
Bree is feeling guilty over cheating on Orson, and wants her indiscretion with Karl to be special, at a fancy hotel. Of course, she knows people at that hotel, so they have to settle for a cheaper motel, which necessitates the two of them going shopping for sheets and flowers. After Orson tells her that, yes, he feels guilty for blackmailing her into staying married, but that guilt is sometimes necessary for happiness, Bree decides not to put off her own little guilt trip any longer, and after the wedding she's undressing Karl in their redecorated hotel room like a shot.
Lynette is depressed over the pregnancy, because if they continue to get pregnant with twins every time one child leaves the house (one of the older twins went to Europe), they'll never be free. After making an expectant mother cry in the waiting room, Lynette and Tom see the sonogram, and Lynette realizes she doesn't love these kids.
Gaby is being stern with the rebellious Ana, keeping her from wearing a skimpy top to school and forbidding the 16-year-old from going to a club opening. Carlos wants her to sign the guardian papers, but Gaby is waiting to see if Ana will straighten up. After Ana goes to the club anyway, and Gaby shows up on stage and blackmails the druggie patrons into giving her up, the two have a long debate over who had a tougher childhood, until Gaby signs the papers and Ana is officially better off than Gaby was.
Lee has gotten his broker's license and taken over all of Edie's old listings, and the first house he sells is Mary Alice's old place, which is still cheap because of her suicide five seasons ago, apparently. The buyers are Angie Bolen (Drea de Matteo, who still has her Sopranos accent), her slightly off husband Nick, and her son Danny, who may be the reason they had to move. Danny's starting college, so he convinces Susan's recently returned daughter Julie to tutor him in math before putting the dating moves on her. His dad warns her off, and Danny doesn't take it well. We get a glimpse of Angie's back, which has a nasty burn scar on it, and then we see a hoodied figure strangle Julie as she's taking out the recycling. She may be dead. The lesson? Don't recycle.

In South Carolina, push for offshore drilling gaining momentum
The push to start drilling in the Atlantic Ocean is gaining momentum and dividing people along the grand coast of South Carolina, where some local leaders fear what it could mean for tourism.
"If we had an event like they had in the Gulf it would be devastating for us," said Hilton Head Mayor Drew Laughlin, referring to the April 2010 drilling rig explosion that killed 11 and gushed 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. "Our beach and our environment are our signatures. Our entire economy is built on hospitality."
The Interior Department recently endorsed seismic testing to find out how much oil and gas lies off the coast of the Carolinas and other Atlantic states, a key move toward allowing drilling for the first time in decades. Not content to wait, members of South Carolina's congressional delegation have introduced bills demanding that the drilling be approved.
"Safe, responsible energy production has the ability to transform our economy, creating thousands of new jobs in communities across the nation," U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., said this month as he announced his new Southern Energy Access Jobs Act.
Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., also has a bill to open the waters for drilling. So does U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who used to oppose drilling the Atlantic off his state's coastline but switched positions, saying he believes the oil and natural gas can help American energy independence.
South Carolina's Republican governor, Nikki Haley, has become a leading voice calling for the Obama administration to allow offshore drilling in the Atlantic.
Drilling boosters point to the potential for jobs and economic development. The American Petroleum Institute, the main lobbying group for the oil industry, maintains there could be 11,000 direct jobs in South Carolina by 2035 from offshore oil and natural gas drilling in the Atlantic, as well as a contribution of more than $2.7 billion to the state's economy.
There are questions, though, about just how much potential South Carolina has for energy development. Mitchell Colgan, chairman of the geology department at the College of Charleston, says there is not much oil off the coast of South Carolina, and that the economics of harvesting Atlantic natural gas are questionable given that the nation is already awash in the stuff from fracking onshore.
Drilling proponents, though, say modest estimates of Atlantic reserves are based on tests that are decades old. James Knapp, a professor of earth and ocean sciences at the University of South Carolina, said he thinks the estimates are too low, and that the new seismic tests endorsed by the Interior Department will give a more realistic picture of what's out there.
The political drumbeat in South Carolina for offshore drilling worries Billy Keyserling, mayor of the coastal town of Beaufort. North America is already on the path toward energy self-sufficiency as a result of the recent onshore natural gas boom, Keyserling said, and it doesn't make sense to take the risks with the Atlantic.
"We have enough on our plate with rising seas, global warming. . . . Mother Nature will fight back," Keyserling said in an email.
S.C. coastal towns rely on tourism, an economic driver that supports one in 10 jobs in South Carolina, according to the U.S. Travel Association, and accounted for $17.6 billion worth of spending in 2012. But there are tourism officials who support drilling, even in the coastal hub of Myrtle Beach, which attracts some 15 million visitors each year.
"I know a lot of people assume we would be naturally opposed, but we believe that developing our natural resources and becoming energy independent is a top priority for America," said Brad Dean, president of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, which is also the convention and visitor's bureau.
Dean said the organization is generally supportive of offshore drilling, so long as oil and gas drilling rigs and other infrastructure aren't visible from the beaches.
He praised Sen. Scott's proposal to allow the state to decide how far from the coast drilling infrastructure can be allowed if it is within 20 miles of shore.
Dean said energy development can create jobs and economic activity, while being compatible with tourism.
The mayor of Myrtle Beach, John Rhodes, was once a fierce opponent of offshore drilling, telling a local television station in 2008 that "we will do anything to oppose any potential threat to our economic engine, our beaches."
But Rhodes did not return repeated phone calls and emails over the past week asking for his current position.
Charleston, the largest city on South Carolina's coast, could benefit from increased activity in its port if offshore drilling is allowed. But the South Carolina Ports Authority doesn't have a position on drilling at this point, and local officials are concerned about the impact on tourism.
Joseph Riley, who is serving his 10th term as mayor of Charleston since being first elected in 1975, said he doesn't understand why the political tide among South Carolina state leaders seems to have turned toward favoring offshore drilling after long years of debate.
"The environmental quality of our coastal zone is a part of the inheritance of every person in South Carolina, and I just don't think that it's worth it," Riley said.
The Obama administration is weighing whether to include the Atlantic oil and gas drilling in the next federal offshore leasing plan, which runs from 2017 through 2022.
The Interior Department in February released its final environmental review endorsing seismic air gun tests to Atlantic map oil and gas deposits from Delaware past the Carolinas to Florida's Cape Canaveral. The tests themselves are controversial, with fears for the impact on the hearing of whales and dolphins, and the Obama administration received more than 55,000 public comments on the proposal.
The Palmetto Agribusiness Council and the South Carolina Farm Bureau were among those in favor, suggesting offshore Atlantic drilling could help lower energy prices and aid the businesses they represent. But others, such as Jenny Welch of Charleston, said drilling in the Atlantic "poses a giant threat to our marine life as well as to our tourism industry."

Wine-Making Expert, Now Graduate Student Starts Peer Mentorship Project With UW Bothell Students
By Andrew Nguyen
An undergraduate degree often comes with midterms, extracurricular activities, and lifelong friends. At the end of the day, what sticks? For Cora Thomas it was peers and faculty members who played decisive roles in her development as a thinker, activist and person.
Thomas knew after graduating from Western Washington University (WWU) that graduate school was the next step. This makes sense for a person who loves being in an environment where people engage in solving problems, asking questions, and building knowledge.
Now a second year student in the Master of Arts in Cultural Studies program, Thomas brings to UW Bothell the belief that learning from peers is a cornerstone in the undergraduate experience. This belief manifests itself in her development of the Peer Mentorship Pilot Project.
Thomas and a small team of UW Bothell students are creating the curriculum for a course where sophomores are matched with upperclassmen to share experience and counsel. Here they can discuss growing and achieving as an undergraduate through group activities.
Cora Thomas (left) and fellow student discuss mentorship curriculumn
"The definition of mentor and mentee creates a problem, the dichotomy assumes that wisdom and knowledge flows in one direction. Mentors learn and grow just as much from a partnership as mentees," says Thomas.
Cora Thomas (left) and fellow student discuss mentorship curriculumn
It took several years before Thomas could apply her passion for peer mentorship as a graduate student. After graduating from WWU she spent several years absorbed in the winemaking industry. Her face lights up when asked about making wine. Her favorite part is tasting the wine right before it goes to bottling.
"It tastes different at every stage of production because wine is a living creature, from its start as a grape to the moment it reaches your mouth, wine is always changing chemically. Every batch is unique."
Laughing, she continues, "Oxygen is both its best friend and its demise. When you open a bottle the wine reacts with the air, changing its taste. That's why you leave it out to aerate before drinking and why after 3 days it no longer tastes fresh."
She pauses and smiles, saying "There is a metaphor here ... somewhere ... about making wine and the mentoring process." Fumbling for a quotable line, one can tell she is a writer.
Students interesting in involvement with the UW Bothell Mentorship Pilot Project should contact Cora Thomas. firstname.lastname@example.com.

Empowering Women Spiritually Through Poetry and Performance
By Nate Stout
Photo of Christa Bell
Upon meeting Christa Bell, it is no surprise that she comes from a lineage of preachers. Gregarious, kind, and somewhat other-worldly, the first year Master of Arts in Cultural Studies student exudes a commanding presence that can turn any room into a stage.
While this energy might be the first thing one notices, it is Bell's voice as a poet and performer that leaves a lasting impression, as evidenced by an ever growing list of national and international accolades. Bell has performed at more than 200 universities, has had her work featured on National Public Radio, and has been the National Poetry Slam Champion among other achievements.
Bell earned her undergraduate degree at San Francisco State University, and started her career as a poet in her hometown of Seattle in 2003 at an open mic held at the now defunct Sit & Spin. "My father always said everyone has a ministry. I've always written poetry, but I didn't realize my calling until I started performing it."
While poetry and performance are at the heart of her work, Bell yields her creations for the aim of social and cultural change. Stemming from concerns for what she calls the spiritual self-esteem of women whose only access to spiritual tradition is through patriarchal religious models, Bell has developed a spiritual practice called She-ism.
"She-ism focuses on the revelations that women experience in their own bodies," Bell explains. "Moving away from the external, institutionalized practices that rely on the male form for salvation or spiritual wisdom, She-ism gives women the freedom to engage the spiritual as they are. My poetry, for example, becomes my scripture. I meditate and recite on the words that come through me, and they inform my spiritual growth. This is an evolving revelation, certain scriptures carry more or less weight at different times, and it is my hope that I can model and encourage women to look for the divine in themselves."
Bell's interest in continuing her education was rooted in the desire to systematize the knowledge of her life experience, and to expand her vocabulary in order to better engage social and cultural issues. "I see it as a two-year vocabulary lesson," she jokes.
Bell is currently working on an installation which recently premiered at the Seattle Art Museum called 1001 Holy Names for Coochie, which is a collection of terms for the female body that she has collected from all over the world. The premier consisted of a three-hour recitation of the names; Bell's goal is to work her way up to a 24-hour performance by adding three-hour increments to her upcoming installations.
In addition to her current installation, Bell will be participating in a TED Talk at Barnard College in New York on December 1st, as well as continuing to travel and perform around the world.
Small Town Girl Uses Adversity as a Tool for Success
By Marlene Manzo
Catti Alvarez is a natural born leader, but two years ago she would not have said so. Growing up in the Lower Yakima Valley -- land of large agricultural fields, cows, and farms -- Catti was living in a world with limited opportunity. While attending Yakima Valley Community College (YVCC) she was faced with balancing her education, the constraints of small town living and taking care of her year old son Julian. Catti was ready to quit on the one thing that mattered most to her father: her education.
When Catti's father, Alejandro Alvarez Jr., passed away unexpectedly, her whole life spun right before her eyes.
Alejandro's purpose in migrating from Mexico to the U.S. was to provide Catti's family a better life. He believed in the power of education, and constantly reminded Catti that she was expected to continue with higher education. Her father dedicated his life to providing Catti with all the opportunities necessary for her to live a fulfilling life. His passing kindled a renewed sense of perseverance and strength for Catti. She would continue her education, enrolling at UW Bothell in 2011.
Anyone who sees Catti today would find it hard to believe she ever considered leaving higher education behind. She is the president of the Latino Student Union (LSU) and devotes her time and efforts to the Making Access to College Happen (M.A.T.C.H) experience (formerly known as the Dream Project). Catti is also ASUWB Student of the Month. Among other things, she sacrifices her limited amount of free time to empower minority students into higher education. Catti believes, "life isn't about getting. You have to be able to give back and do things you're passionate about. I know long term that I am going to be paid in smiles, not money".
Catti graduates Spring 2014 and plans to attend the University of Texas Austin to pursue her graduate degree in education.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
You know that old adage about how if you don't have anything nice to say, then you shouldn't say anything at all? Well, I'm trying to bite my tongue on this one, but it's kind of my job to bring country fans any and all lifestyle news about the artists — whether I like that news or not. So here goes.
Inside the new issue of the Australian edition of Harper's Bazaar, Taylor Swift is wearing something a little out there. It's striped, and it's under a kind of oriental rug of a wrap. But here's the ugly part. It was designed by Kanye West . Yes, that Kanye West. Of the legendary Imma-Let-You-Finish fame. He's apparently a designer now, even though you can't really get a gauge on his prices because his shirt in the cover photo is listed as "price on application." Whatever that means.
I realize the Kanye incident was way back in 2009 at the MTV Music Awards when Swift was just trying to gracefully accept her award, and we all should forgive and forget. Swift has probably done that, although it should be noted that celebrities featured in these fashion shoots for major magazines are often presented clothing at the last minute without any sort of tags to identify the the designer or manufacturer. So there's a good possibility Taylor wasn't even aware she was wearing a item from West's collection. As for me and my attitude toward West, I live life like a Garth Brooks song. I bury the hatchet but leave the handle sticking out.

Though he now lives more than 800 miles from the small Connecticut town that's still grieving over the fatal shooting of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Mark Melody couldn't be closer in solidarity.
The Newtown, Conn., native returned to his hometown over the holidays for the first time since the massacre shocked the country and the world.
With him were about 50 handwritten cards made by students at Hubert Middle School in Savannah, where he teaches math.
On Christmas Eve, at the driveway entrance to Sandy Hook, Melody said he placed the cards alongside numerous other notes, teddy bears, candles, balloons and mementos left by people also mourning the victims of the Dec. 14 shooting rampage.
"It's touched me a bit because this is my hometown," said Melody, a 1983 Newtown High School graduate.
"I was at first shocked because you'd never think it would happen in Newtown. Newtown is a very quiet place. The violence like this, you don't hear about in town. They've had like one murder in the last 10 years."
Melody said he did not know any of the victims or the suspected shooter. But he wanted to do something to show his support to the community.
With he and his wife, Linda, scheduled to visit his parents in Newtown, Melody said he decided to ask fellow Hubert teachers if any of their students would be interested in making cards to be placed at a memorial during his trip.
He said the students simply expressed their condolences to families of the victims.
The Danbury, Conn., News Times recently reported the thousands of flowers, letters and other objects left at various makeshift memorials around the town will be ground up and used in a future, permanent memorial honoring the victims.
Melody, 47, said that as news crews trickle out of town and curious visitors continue to clog roads, creating out-of-the-norm traffic jams, Newtown residents - including his friends and old neighbors - remain in shock that one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history happened in their backyard.
"They're in disbelief about how it could have happened - how someone could go in and kill with no thought these young, innocent children," Melody said.
"It's never going to be back to normal the way that I knew it. That part of Newtown is gone."

Law enforcement cracks down on unbuckled drivers, passengers May 19 - June 1
Jo-Carolyn Goode | 5/8/2014, 2:50 p.m.
HOUSTON, TX - Motorists who don't buckle up in compliance with state seat belt laws face fines and court costs up to $200 as stepped up enforcement gets underway this month during the Texas Department of Transportation's 13th annual "Click It or Ticket" campaign, May 19 to June 1.
"Seat belts save lives," said John Barton, TxDOT deputy executive director. "That's a fact. Buckling up will keep you from getting a ticket, and more importantly, it could save your life. Whether you're the driver or a passenger, everyone in the vehicle is required by law to wear a seat belt for every trip. The cost of not using one just isn't worth it."
The "Click It or Ticket" campaign is credited with motivating millions of motorists to always use their seat belts. Only 76 percent of Texans used seat belts when the campaign began in 2002. Today, 9 out of 10 Texans buckle up. The National Highway Traffic Safety estimates that since its inception, the "Click It or Ticket" campaign in Texas has resulted in 3,962 fewer traffic fatalities while preventing 66,823 serious injuries and saving more than $15 billion
in related economic costs.
In 2013, there were 943 fatalities and 5,383 serious injuries in Texas resulting from crashes in which drivers or passengers were not wearing seat belts. Wearing a seat belt increases the chances of surviving a serious crash by 45 percent.
In pickup trucks, that number jumps to 60 percent as those vehicles are more likely than cars to roll over in a crash. In roll-over crashes, seat belts help keep occupants from being ejected from the vehicle.
Texas law requires everyone in a vehicle to be buckled up, including back seat passengers. Learn more about "Click It or Ticket" by visiting texasclickitorticket.com.

The trouble with Wacom…January 10, 2003
I had a Wacom graphics tablet for a while. I liked it at first since it made sense to use a pen for my masking/brush–work in Photoshop. But this was back in the days of the early Pentium (well, for me, anyway — we're talking 1997 here) and my computer was just too durn slow to use it effectively, so I gradually stopped.
These days I have one connected to my work computer, but it just takes up space on my desk. I almost never touch the thing. Many designers swear by them, but I never could get the hang of it.
When using a pen, I expect immediate feedback underneath the tip. The disassocation between my hand and my eye that Wacom's tablets force manages to throw me off. Using a mouse isn't a problem, but the feeling of holding a pen makes me expect the output to take place underneath its tip, not on a monitor off to the side.
In the past few years, Wacom released a new product line called Cintiq which combines an LCD screen and a tablet in one. Aside from the colour problems an LCD introduces, this is the logical next step in the tablet evolution and might just be where I buy back in to the technology.
The problem being that even the 15" model runs almost $2,000 US. I think for that price, I'd be better off buying a pressure–sensitive TabletPC.

A trailer will tow better (more stable) if level rather than "nose up". When braking it would not tend to lift the back of the truck. Ditto when going over bumps.
Eliminates uneven wear on the trailer axles & tires too - a nose up trailer can wear the rearmost axle/tires rather quickly.

Wyoming Ranks As Top Retirement Destination
Retiring to someplace warm like Florida or Arizona is SO old-fashioned. If you're hip, you'll retire to the hottest area of all . . . Pierre, South Dakota. Wyoming is also considered one of the most desirable retirement destinations and ranks extremely high coming in 5th in the nation.
The website Bankrate.com released the results of a study that discovered that South Dakota is now the BEST state for retirement.
The study is based on things like cost of living, crime, healthcare, taxes, and weather. And even though South Dakota does not have great weather (much like Wyoming) . . . it's very strong in all the other categories where it placed at the top of the list.
The top 10 best states for retirement are: South Dakota, Colorado, Utah, North Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, Idaho, Iowa, and Virginia.
The 10 worst states for retirement are: New York, West Virginia, Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Alabama, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Maryland, and Kentucky.
Florida is still the most popular place for people to go in retirement. But it finished 39th on the list . . . or to look at that another way, the 12th worst place. The main reasons are high crime, high cost of living, and low quality healthcare. Arizona finished 16th.
Wyoming ranks extremely high on all of the list with the exception of weather, much like South Dakota. But Wyoming is touted a a state with lots of wild places and great outdoor experiences much like our Wyoming tourism ads portray.

The wonderful, beautiful thing about math in my mind is that we work on things and then suddenly somewhere decades down the road someone says, that could be useful. And it becomes useful.
Picture scaffolding as it goes up: There are open spaces connected to platforms by stairs. There are sections around the building that aren't attached to each other, but are contributing to the entire project. They are separate but essential to the whole. This is the type of work that Professor Nathan Ryan does in computational mathematics as he builds foundations in his research as well as in his teaching and outreach.
Much of Professor Ryan's research goes back to old questions about prime numbers (an integer that has exactly two divisors). "Euclid's method gives you a way to compute an infinite list of primes," he says. "That's the first direction of computation." Later, mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss approached primes with mental calculations and looked at how they are distributed and grow. He proposed approximating and looking at how close his approximation was to the actual data. "It turns out that proving the sharpest bound on the error between those two things is equivalent to proving the Riemann hypothesis," he says, "which is a million-dollar problem and was discovered by computation. So, what I do is that I look at generalizations of that. Distributions of arithmetic data, how well they can be approximated, and then I describe the error."
This process and type of thinking is part of what motivates Professor Ryan's passion for the work of mathematics, but also for what it can bring to students. "To me what's exciting about math is learning how to be creative in your thinking, careful in your thinking, analytical in your thinking, and finding some balance between those things," he says. "You're faced with a problem. How do you solve it? I believe that mathematical modes of thought are very conducive to solving a very large class of problem. If it's quantitative, obviously we can approach that. If it's about a decision, we have the logic to analyze something like that. If it's about writing, well, we write a lot. I think mathematicians are among the more careful and efficient writers that you might find. If students want to be able to think carefully and creatively about these things, they should study math."
Currently, he is working with three other collaborators to write a book that connects the various aspects of number theory together, something that has not been written before. In addition, he is a mentor to students who came to Bucknell through the Posse program and runs a math circle for local kids. He is also planning a conference in collaboration with Professor Jodi Black, mathematics, that will bring faculty, staff and students across the region together to address improving the experience of STEM students from historically underrepresented groups.
His passion for the study of mathematics as well as making math accessible shines through as he talks about the many aspects of his work. "The wonderful, beautiful thing about math in my mind is that we work on things and then suddenly somewhere decades down the road someone says, that could be useful. And it becomes useful."

text: It may seem challenging to determine your advisor's identity. Follow these simple guidelines, and you'll be in great shape! If you are newly declaring a major, find your advisor using our website. All students should also be able to find their advisor's name in Student Information System (SIS) by looking in the lower right corner of the "Student Center" page. Your HUD and PSYCH advisor should be the same person. For continuing majors/minors, stay with the same advisor you were assigned when you declared your major or minor. Do not change advisors when we change alphabetical listings; we want you to have the same advisor throughout your education. Please, no returns or exchanges (even with a receipt!). Exception: Isn't there always an exception? If you have a compelling reason to want to change advisors, please see the Department Chair and/or sign a new major/advisor declaration form with your new advisor so that we have a record of these changes.

Deep in an NFL regular season, NFL coaches are fond of saying their first-year players are no longer rookies.
In the case of A.J. Jenkins, however, that cliché has yet to be applied.
After 16 regular-season games, the 49ers' first-round pick has compiled a stat line befitting an undrafted free agent: three games, 37 offensive snaps, one target and one drop.
Jenkins zero-catch season ended ignominiously in Sunday's 27-13 win over Arizona when, wide open in the right flat, he dropped a pillow-soft, third-down throw from Colin Kaepernick in the first quarter.
A day later, Jim Harbaugh, whose unprompted and spirited retort to Jenkins' critics was an indelible training-camp moment, fell short of echoing his prediction that "A.J. is going to be an outstanding football player."
Asked if Jenkins could contribute in the playoffs, Harbaugh acknowledged the 49ers would need for him to contribute something: "Do I think he can? Yes. Will we need him to? Yes. We need him to step up and we definitely think he's capable of doing that."
Similarly, the man who handpicked Jenkins, general manager Trent Baalke, didn't offer a brimming-with-confidence soundbite when he looked ahead to Jenkins in the playoffs.
"Young players, they've got to grow up," Baalke said Monday on 95.7 FM. "And unfortunately, or fortunately, he needs to do so in a hurry."
With Mario Manningham (knee) placed on injured reserve last week, San Francisco is hoping Jenkins' slow development accelerates. Without Manningham, San Francisco's threadbare wide receiving corps counts red-hot Michael Crabtree (85 catches, 1,105 yards) as its lone member with more than 29 catches.
Six weeks removed from his 36th birthday, Randy Moss (28 catches, 434 yards) had fewer than three receptions in 11 of San Francisco's final 13 games. Ted Ginn? The 49ers have inserted him for 67 offensive plays this season, including seven last week, and he's had more yards rushing (7) than receiving (1).
Given his options, quarterback Colin Kaepernick, not surprisingly, has force fed Crabtree in his seven starts. Kaepernick has targeted Crabtree with 66 passes, 40 more than Moss, his second-favorite target.
The chuck-it-to Crabtree plan worked brilliantly against the Cardinals as the fourth-year wideout had eight catches for a career-high 172 yards. But Crabtree figures to encounter more resistance in the postseason. Against Seattle, which boasts a pair of top-end cornerbacks in Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner, Crabtree had eight catches for 96 yards in two games.
Of course, the 49ers also possess pass-catching tight ends in Vernon Davis and Delanie Walker, who had 14 of 21 catches and 255 of his 344 yards in Kaepernick's seven starts. Davis, however, is in the midst of a six-game, six-catch stretch and has discussed a slow-to-develop chemistry with his new quarterback.
The upshot is the 49ers could use a contribution from Jenkins, who whiffed on his lone opportunity Sunday.
"He dropped a lay-up yesterday which was disappointing," Baalke said. "… Guys are going to make mistakes and they've got to work through them. And they've got to step up. Like I always believe, if you put them in the right situation, and you give them the opportunities, and you've picked the right person, and they're competitive by nature, they'll figure it out."
After 16 games, the question remains: Did the 49ers pick the right person?
They hope to finally receive an affirmative answer in the playoffs.
** After his first seven starts, it's fair to say Colin Kaepernick's favorite target is Michael Crabtree. Here's a look at the number of targets for San Franciso's pass-catchers since Kaepernick made his first start on Nov. 19 (minimum 10 targets):
WR Michael Crabtree, 66
WR Randy Moss, 26
TE Delanie Walker, 22
TE Vernon Davis, 21
* WR Mario Manningham, 17
RB Frank Gore, 12
FB Bruce Miller, 10
* Manningham missed three of Kaepernick's starts.

Do the words "Buffalo Wings" make your mouth water or do you prefer Shredded Wheat? Either way, you can thank New York State for bringing you both of these foods and many others as well. This new exhibition tells the story of the foods that got their start in New York State. New York's Good Eats! Our Fabulous Foods opens Saturday, May 28th.
Several foods commonly eaten everyday across the nation were invented or first produced in New York State. Buffalo wings and potato chips are probably the most famous, but Thousand Island dressing was also created in the Empire State, and celery was first commercially farmed here. The exhibition will profile over a dozen foods - everything from Jell-O to Lifesavers to ice cream sundaes.
New York's Good Eats! Our Fabulous Foods opens Memorial Day Weekend on Saturday, May 28th in the Main Barn of The Farmers' Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y. The exhibition will run through October 2012. It is sponsored in part by Price Chopper, The Tianederrah Foundation, WMHT, Savor New York, and The New York State Council on the Arts. Visit FarmersMuseum.org for more information.

The Truth of Pascha
By Douglas Cramer, Editor, Antiochian.org
I've recently been spending time with an old college roommate, a man dying of cancer in his 30's. He's not Christian, not married, has no children. We spend a lot of time talking about death. "What do you believe happens when we die?", my friend asked unprompted one afternoon as we sat outside his home. "You know I'm a Christian," I answered. "This is what I believe." And I talked about the Resurrection, about how I believe the truth is that we are created for life, body and soul. That death is not the end. That we are called to live, to live the life of the New Man.

39 reasons why I love you
I love my husband. And he knows that. But on his birthday, I like to make sure he knows it in more ways than one. So this year I sat down and wrote out 39 things I love about JR, since he turned 39 this year. (I take it as a good sign that 39 things came fairly easily.. maybe it will get more difficult when he is turning 87?)
Here's how to make your own... Grab some strips of paper, some colored tape, and some string. Then write 39 things you love about the birthday boy: traits you admire, things you know will make him laugh, add some serious things as well. Lay out some string and tape your strips in order, from number 1 to 39 (mine were about 18 inches apart).
Hang your string up using a little more tape. I put mine up all around our living and dining room, since it's the first room my husband enters when he comes home. They make a festive little garland, and later that night JR walked slowly around the room reading all of the messages.
When I took the garland down a few days later I saved all of the little strips, tucked them into an envelope and stashed it in my husband's desk so he can reread the things I love about him anytime he likes.
And because so many of you asked.. I got my tape as a Christmas gift from here.

University of Illinois agricultural economist Gary Schnitkey wanted to calculate some of the variables farmers have to juggle to determine how commodity prices and other costs combine to equal a net income of $50,000.
"If the goal is a net farm income of $50,000 from a 1,200-acre farm, given costs we're going to see in 2012 and a typical tenure relationship, what commodity prices would we have to have?" Schnitkey asked. "The scenario used a farm with 15 percent of acres owned, 45 percent share rented and 40 percent cash rented. In order to make $50,000, the corn price needs to be $3.70 corn price and an $8.51 soybean price."
The $50,000 benchmark net farm income roughly represents the average farm income during the late 1990s and early 2000s. During this period, many farms were "holding their own" financially, with some farms having deteriorating financial positions. Given today's cash flows, a $50,000 net farm income would result in financial deterioration on many farms.
Schnitkey said the calculations they used anticipate a bad market scenario and attempt to predict what commodity prices would create that scenario.
"$3.70 for corn isn't likely to happen next year, but it could happen in several years," he said. "After we've had a couple of good crops, we could very easily see corn prices below $3.70 and bean prices below $8.51."
It was key that the calculations include crop insurance.
"We used an 80 percent Revenue Protection policy," Schnitkey said. "When you get to low price levels, crop insurance kicks in. To give you an example, that break-even level goes from $3.70 up to $4.03. Crop insurance adds $.033 to the break-even price.
Schnitkey said this year shouldn't be a problem.
"Right now we're looking at high $5.00 corn prices and close to $13 in soybean prices. So right now you'd say 2012 is looking like a fairly good year."
What are the impacts on the rental agreements on the break-even commodity prices?
"If we use a totally cash-rent farm with $280 per acre in cash-rent, we come up with a $4.42 break-even corn price and a $10.17 break-even soybean price," he said. "If you raise the cash-rent to $360 per acre, our break-even is $4.89. So it has a large impact."
Schnitkey's report stated that while 2012 farm incomes are projected to be positive, commodity prices resulting in $50,000 are within the realm of possibility. Several above-average-yielding years in the United States or around the world could result in near $4.00 corn and $9.00 per bushel soybean prices.
He noted that the $3.70 corn and $8.51 soybean prices are well above prices that occurred prior to 2006. Between 1975 through 2005, corn prices averaged $2.40 per bushel for corn and $6.10 per bushel for soybeans. Commodity prices near these levels would cause financial stress today.
