Climate change could make humans extinct, warns health expert
By Deborah Snow and Peter Hannam
(Sydney Morning Herald) – The Earth is warming so rapidly that unless humans can arrest the trend, we risk becoming ''extinct'' as a species, a leading Australian health academic has warned.
Helen Berry, associate dean in the faculty of health at the University of Canberra, said while the Earth has been warmer and colder at different points in the planet's history, the rate of change has never been as fast as it is today.
''What is remarkable, and alarming, is the speed of the change since the 1970s, when we started burning a lot of fossil fuels in a massive way,'' she said. ''We can't possibly evolve to match this rate [of warming] and, unless we get control of it, it will mean our extinction eventually.''
Professor Berry is one of three leading academics who have contributed to the health chapter of a Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report due on Monday. She and co-authors Tony McMichael, of the Australian National University, and Colin Butler, of the University of Canberra, have outlined the health risks of rapid global warming in a companion piece for The Conversation, also published on Monday. The three warn that the adverse effects on population health and social stability have been ''missing from the discussion'' on climate change.
''Human-driven climate change poses a great threat, unprecedented in type and scale, to wellbeing, health and perhaps even to human survival,'' they write.
They predict that the greatest challenges will come from undernutrition and impaired child development from reduced food yields; hospitalisations and deaths due to intense heatwaves, fires and other weather-related disasters; and the spread of infectious diseases.
They warn the ''largest impacts'' will be on poorer and vulnerable populations, winding back recent hard-won gains of social development programs.

thursday 23 june 2011… (new post)
On Tuesday, the solstice, at 4:05 pm, I heard a news story locally produced at our public radio station in Amherst, that stirred up all kinds of things which exist in me all the time anyway. They've existed in me since Monday 23 June 2008. Exactly three years. It was exactly three years ago that, after wondering for more than three months why certain people were appearing everywhere I went, doing things that I'd never encountered before, and pretending to be drunk when they weren't, etc, that a lightbulb went off in my head and said: this must have something to do with the crime-chick. And when I asked Matthew a day or two later if something criminal were going on in my life, he said yes.
I've written before and will write until the day I die about things Matthew did tell me, and about the many other things that he did not. Today I'm focusing on one of the lacunae, one of the things he has never told me, though I asked. And that issue is: who. You tell me, Sir Matthew, on July 2 that people want to harm me. You tell me a week or so later that I'm being protected from these mysterious people by other people who come from the fed day camp in Burlington, Vermont. You tell me on July 26 that my long-dead grandfather, whom I never knew, was a mob man who betrayed the mob in some way and was killed by them. But you never tell me who. Who wants to harm me? Who did my grandfather work for and betray? Crime families, I imagine, come in large and small, famous and not, notorious and hardly known by the average person. And all of these families are made up, actually, of several families, and there are a number of last names floating around in the soup. So what are the last names of the various biological families who comprise the crime family that Matthew says wants to hurt me? Just one of the myriad questions to which I never got an answer. A man who calls himself Jim did bring up in my presence once two names: Vittorio and Luigi Greif. Utterly unknown to me. Why should I recognize them. But Matthew himself never said any name at all.
Along comes this news story, which reports the arrest of a man in Connecticut who is charged with murder and taking protection money from businesses and all kinds of other gangland stuff. The story says this man has long been believed by authorities to be "an associate of the Gambino family." The word Connecticut hits me like a slap. The very obvious mob cars that came to the house where the crime-chick and I both lived in 2007 were licensed in Connecticut. A couple of other very obvious mob cars who came and parked very close to me in Greenfield in the summer of 2008 were licensed in Connecticut. These two cars just parked very close to me for a while, the drivers (two different ones) watching every move I made. And each time, as soon as the car in question left, Matthew suddenly appeared on the sidewalk out of nowhere, coming to see me. Too much coincidence to be coincidence in the statistics jugglers in my brain. Always has been and always will be.
So along comes this news story to tell me that the Gambinos have "associates" in Connecticut. This is something that never occurred to me. I just blithely assume that the most infamous crime families have their family caves somewhere in New York and slither around in that state, and I never ponder on where they might have "associates." Those Connecticut cars, straight out of a mafia movie. "Protection" from the fed day camp in Burlington. Could it be? Could it be that the name Matthew would never give me is the name Gambino? Could it be that farcical? All I can tell you for certain is that the cars were from Connecticut, the protectors were said to be from Burlington, and that the crime-chick was/is a criminal mind indeed. That news story has given me a great deal of food for thought about that name that Matthew would never speak.
Precisely forty-nine hours after that news story, there appeared two more. One local, one national, and they aired just a few minutes apart. These stories dealt with the arrest of our own special Massachusetts gangster, Whitey Bulger. In these stories it was reported that quite recently, 2006, I think, families of two of Bulger's victims did in fact sue the feds. And they won. The reason for their suits was that back in the day, about 20 years ago, the FBI in Boston used Whitey as an informant on other gangsters, and in the process protected Whitey. They not only protected him from arrest for a good while, but they told him the names of people who were in turn informing on him, and he killed these people. The coup de grace of FBI corruption was that when finally, in spite of Whitey's pals' efforts, he was going to be arrested, his thoroughly suborned FBI "handler" tipped him off. He went on the run to California, where they found him late last night, California time. After sixteen years.
These families sued the feds and won. Meanwhile at least ten people have told me over the last three years that you cannot sue the feds. I've believed them. Now it appears that they are wrong. You can sue the feds when they fuck up.
You can sue the feds if you have the money to pay lawyers, which I don't. You can sue the feds if the agents who harmed you have been arrested and convicted already, which isn't so in my situation. You can sue them if you have a paper trail for their misconduct, which I don't.
I have to keep the name Robert Muller in my memory. Keep the name of the man who directed the FBI in the summer of 2008 (and still today), when a certain man told me I was in danger and that I was being protected by feds. The man who directed the FBI in the summer when all of this protection was strictly undercover; when I was never shown any ID's by anyone; when I was never located anywhere by these people to be protected in a home; when the only conclusion I could come to after Matthew's remarks about "big fish" was that I was the very convenient and very inhuman bait.

Book Trailer: Heather Brewer's "The Slayer Chronicles: Second Chance"
Here at the O'Deary Library, we get just as excited as you do about books that are coming soon. Every week, we'll bring you trailers for books – sometimes new ones, sometimes old ones, and sometimes even fan-made ones!
The stakes are life or death. The summer after Joss failed to kill the vampire Vladimir Tod, he gets a second chance to prove himself as a Slayer. He is sent to New York City to hunt down a serial killer that the Slayer Society believes is a vampire. It is up to Joss to lead his Slayer team, and through their detective work, they discover that there are actually four vampire brothers who are on the killing rampage. Joss must use all his skill to save the innocent people of New York City from the murderers. Joss' status as a Slayer depends on it.
Second Chance (The Slayer Chronicles) can be read alongside The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod or entirely on their own. This second installment gives readers even more insight into the nightmares that drive Joss the Slayer.

Mae came to me this evening with her National Geographic Kids Almanac 2013 in hand, all serious, as usual. "Mom, mom. I need you to help me move the furniture around in my room."
My first thought, probably before she finished speaking was, "No."
I asked "Why?"
Mae showed me the page she was reading. Across the top: "How to Feng Shui Your Room." I asked why she wanted to Feng Shui her room. Mae pointed to and read aloud the opening words of the article, "Want to make more friends? Get better grades?" She said, "Only 3 of my friends are in my class and I want 5."
Alrighty then. I told Mae that 3 is a good number of friends and I pointed out a disclaimer in tiny print in a box on the page: "If Feng Shui doesn't work for you, that's ok. This story is just for fun." I have to intently manage this one's expectations.
Years ago, when I first heard of Feng Shui, I gave a "whatever" shrug and went on with my life. But, I wanted to be open-minded and supportive. So, while Mae took her shower, I started working on the 12 suggestions in the article. It was simpler than I expected and we had most of the materials needed.
I took a mobile from the kids' play room and hung it from Mae's bedroom ceiling. One of the kids' aunties brought it for them from India. Mae believes that "it's magic," and the magazine says that a mobile keeps positive chi moving.
I hung a jingle bell on each side of her door knob, which gives positive thoughts and inspire good luck and happiness. Putting the bells to use helped me feel less guilty about having put them in the garage a few hours before. The bells came with a holiday decoration kit that I tried to use as little as possible of when the kids and I dressed our little Christmas tree today. They wanted to put on it every shiny bauble within reach. I sneaked things back into the box when they weren't looking because I swear there is a fine line between tasteful and tacky when it comes to Christmas decorations.
Mae has a bulletin board where some pictures of her and former classmates were pinned. I added a picture of Jay and arranged the photos into a triangle. This may help her get along better with family and friends. Threes and triangles are important in Feng Shui. I wonder if I should find a picture of me and Hubby and substitute it for one of the pictures of her friends? From her perspective, Mae would probably say that the relationships with her friends are more important. She had a tough day last Wednesday because she'd gotten into a pushing match with her friend-non-friend Gigi, a girl who seems to not like Mae and still insists on being around her. It's a strange relationship. Even Mae said last week, "I kind of like not liking her." Go figure.
Fortunately, Mae's bookcase is already to the left of her door (for better grades) and her bed is against her wall and gives her a clear view of her door (for better sleep). So, we didn't need to move any furniture after all.
I added two pillows to the one on Mae's bed plus a stuffed monkey, the animal of her birth-year according to the Chinese zodiac. These might bring more fun with friends and extra luck, respectively. Mae has a cactus plant that I moved from the play room to the desk in her bedroom; which might bring more time with family and friends.
The article said that a quartz crystal on her desk can help with concentration, which Mae sure could use. We don't have a quartz crystal in the house, but my sister has one at her place. I called her and she promised to bring it by tomorrow.
We don't have a light green or purple bowl, which could help Mae save money if she puts a coin in a bowl as she leaves or enters her room. And I'm going to risk not moving her bulletin board to the wall opposite her door, which could help generate positive thoughts as she enters the room. We'll take our chances on those two because they would require too much effort.
Mae handled the last item from the list on her own. She drew a picture of something she wished for and placed it under her pillow to make the wish come true. I fully expected her to hold up a drawing of, perhaps, her and a friend holding hands. Instead, it was a picture of a book. With Feng Shui written across the cover. She wants a book on Feng Shui.
Dang it. This is worse than Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy combined. If I get the book it means Feng Shui works, or at least it says something about the power of positive thinking. But then, she'll come up with all kinds of new Feng Shui ideas and maybe even turn this whole house upside down. Or, she might start putting slips of paper under her pillow every night for ever more ambitious stuff.
What now?

From the dude who gave us Gucci ads of Carmen Kass' pubic hair shaved into a "G" and a completely exposed penis in a YSL fragrance rollout, we're not surprised that every campaign he's done for his own eponymous line has been jerk-off material for girls, guys, and gays. Yes, Tom Ford has managed to stick a bottle of perfume on top of a bare vagina and nestled into a very sweaty man's hairy ass, let a nude chick play with an iron, enacted a very painful crotch grab, and, of course, exposed his own famous cleavage. The bottom (hehe) line: Tom Ford is the most glamorous NSFW designer ever. It's a title that comes with much responsibility. Our expectations are set so high, and unfortunately, there's really not much dirty territory left for him to brand. Surprise, surprise. In the latest T.F. editorial, a spread in Russian GQ (who dubbed him international man of the year), the designer's managed to out-dirrrty himself, posing with a, of course, naked model who has fragrance strips stuck in her butt-crack. And, naturally, he is sniffing them. He doesn't look super please re: the scent—maybe she ate those beans on the craft services table? (copyranter via Jezebel)

Every individual "wears" shoes a little bit differently, but the industry standard says that your running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles. Odds are that you'll know when it's time to replace your shoes because you can feel that the shoes are no good after you've completed your run. Obvious signs that you've maybe waited a little too long to replace your running shoes could be a heel that looks crushed or the tread on the outsole being completely worn through with either holes in it or the midsole showing. You can also tell if it's time to replace your shoes by looking at the uppers; if the uppers look like they've been stretched too much, that's a good indicator.
If you overpronate, you will want to look for a stability or motion control style shoe. This style of shoe will help to reduce the amount of pronation. If your heel slips out of the shoe, it does not fit properly. Finally, make sure you're tying the shoes really tight; if you can kick them off easily, they're too loose and not supporting you right!
Ready to get shopping for your next pair on our website? Here's our top 2 men's running shoe and women's running shoe picks right now.
Our first pick is the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 16. This running shoe provides great cushion, support and durability. There's a mesh upper to help your feet stay cool. Impact will be absorbed to help keep your feet protected, so put your best foot forward and get ready to rack up the miles in these Brooks.
2.Our second pick for men is the Nike Zoom Winflo 2. These shoes feature Nike flywire cables to give you a really great fit at the instep. In addition, the mesh forefoot keeps you cool as you're going. Your natural stride is enhanced with flex grooves. In our eyes, you just can't go wrong. Plus they also come in a lime green/black combo.
Topping the charts with the women's picks is the New Balance WT690v1 Trail Running Shoes. Not only do these shoes look completely awesome, which is a must, but they have a lot of really great features, too. From unique overlays and mesh on the upper to the cushioned insole, you're going to be comfortable and well protected. The tread on the outsole is designed to help you get more out of your trail runs, with more traction, but can be used indoors as well.
The Asics Kayano 22s come equipped with some improvements from the previous version that are especially noticeable in the mesh on the upper that shapes to your foot. These shoes enhance your run without modifying your movement. You'll receive increased support without extra weight being added to your feet, while the sockliner works to manage the amount of moisture on your feet.
So, what do you think? Was it time for you to give your shoes the boot (pun intended there)? What were you wearing? What are you thinking about getting? We'd love to hear!

I am so happy I decided to try simplify legal to handle my divorce, I was so ready to separate from my ex but I did not have the money available. Shamika was reasonable and offered me a payment plan as well as help me complete my paperwork and she even notarized it for me. My ex and I were able to get a divorce without even having to step 1 foot in court it was all done by mail!! Thanks so very much Shamika.

Canine Cellmates| A life saved, a life changed
ATLANTA, Ga. -- To look at the Fulton County Jail, one would never think this is the place people come to change. More likely, they would say that this is the place peolple wind up because they wouldn't change.
Susan Jacobs Meadows, the Executive Director of Canine Cellmates says, "You can see they start to change how they feel about themselves. The goal is to open their eyes to possibilities that they never conceived of for themselves."
In a large room, a few inmates are busy working with dogs. Vandez McCloudy is one of those inmates. At 18 years old, this is his fourth stint in jail. He works with a dog named Bentley.
"I trained him to give me his paw, crawl, roll, stay, sit down," he told 11Alive's Jaye Watson.
Jacobs Meadows says, "We pull dogs off the euthanasia list. We bring them over here and we pair them up with an inmate handler. The dogs actually become therapy dogs in this program we just don't tell them that."
Twenty-six year old Teddy Teshone is paired with Heidi.
"I never had a dog. It's a first for me. Heidi is laid back. Very patient. Smart. Loving. Mature. She's everything. She's just great," he said.
The dogs live with the inmates for months, their crates at the foot of the bunk. Schedules stress training and discipline. The dogs go from discarded -- to desirable. Transformation is mutual.Teddy now wants to be a dog trainer.
"She teaches me about responsibility, taking care of dogs, instead of committing crimes, so she's changed me in a lot of ways," he said.
Vandez wants to work too: "I want to be a barber, a tattoo artist."
Until now, Vandez's recognition has been for serial burglary, Teddy for drug and weapons charges. But on this day they're getting a new recognition, a diploma. It's graduation day.
As Jacobs Meadows hands Vandez his diploma, he says, "I want to thank God and all the trainers that helped me change my thinking and help me become a better man".
Bentley is being considered as a scent dog at the airport. Heidi will go to a wheelchair bound person. Behind these dogs --proud, heartbroken young men.
Teddy says of Heidi, "She don't judge me, like people does. I know she loves me. All day. Every day."
It's the last place you'd look, to find soul shifting transformation, to find abiding love. But inside the jail, for every life saved, is a life changed. Jacobs Meadows says, "The unconditional love of a dog can change a person."

This paper addresses the problem of evaluating the predictive uncertainty of TOPMODEL using the Bayesian Generalised Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) methodology in an application to the small Ringelbach research catchment in the Vosges, France. The wide range of parameter sets giving acceptable simulations is demonstrated, and uncertainty bands are presented based on different likelihood measures. It is shown how the distributions of predicted discharges are non‐Gaussian and vary in shape through time and with discharge. Updating of the likelihood weights using Bayes equation is demonstrated after each year of record and it is shown how the additional data can be evaluated in terms of the way they constrain the uncertainty bands.

Lake Mead National Recreation Area is big, it's diverse and it's extreme. Temperatures can be harsh, from 120º Fahrenheit in the summer to well below freezing in winter on the high plateaus.
From the mouth of the Grand Canyon, the park follows the Arizona-Nevada border along what was formerly 140 miles of the Colorado River. The two big lakes-Mead and Mohave- are the big draw here.
Lake Mead is impressive: It's 1.5 million acres, 110 miles long when the lake is full, 550 miles of shoreline, around 500 feet at greatest depth, 255 square miles of surface, and when filled to capacity, 28 million acre-feet of water, about two years' flow of the Colorado River. Sixty-seven-mile-long Lake Mohave, formed by Davis Dam, still retains in its upper reaches some of the character of the old Colorado River.
Although much of Lake Mead must be experienced by boat, the various campgrounds, marinas, lodges, and other facilities clustered around the lake make it possible for non-boaters to enjoy it as well. Literally millions of people use the park each year, and many of these visitors return again and again to find that special cove, hiking trail or campground, or just to sit on the shore and enjoy solitude of a quality that only nature can supply.

What Is The Ideal Treatment For LowBackPain?
Do you suffer from an aching back? Whether it is a short-lived muscle spasm, or a long-term problem, your back is telling you something! Your spine is a complex structure made up of bones, muscles, discs, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. It is the hub of your nervous systemwhere messages to and from your brain travel to different parts of your body. It is so complex, that it takes years for you to master the ability to stand up straight, walk, and run. As we age, it is very common to suffer aches and pains in the lower back, typically because of poor posture and prolonged sitting, or previous injuries; however aches and pains are a sign of underlying problems. Your spine relies on proper posture, alignment, strength, and coordination.

– Almost perfect yield.
– Very low thermal inertia.
Steady fluid flow and accurate
The Hydrocare has a vortex pump head with a very precise control of the rotation speed :
– High reliability
– No risk of overpressure
– Maintenance free
The pump is equipped with a detachable rotor (vortex pump head or with wings) driven by a rotating electromagnetic field without moving parts.
In principle, this kind of pump is unable to create a dangerous excess pressure even if plugging of tubes.
Two pump modules are available :
A low-flow module 0 to 1.2 l/min ideal for HITV and HIVC (typically 0.5 to 0.8 l / min) and CHIV (typically 0.2 to 1 l / min).
High flow module, up to 4 l/min covers all other cases.
Compact, Complete, Efficient
The Hydrocare provides all the necessary steps to intervention :
– Airing circuit
– Preheating
– Filling
– Treatement
– Drain
The fluid switches necessary for the performance of these different sequences are performed by electro-pneumatic pistons that come pinching tubes without any contact with the fluid.
On request, specific HYDROBOX can be performed by HYDROMEDIC or directly by medical teams on the basis of an existing standard HYDROBOX to achieve specific clinical trials.
HYDROBOX sterile disposable
HYDROMEDIC offers standard HYDROBOX :
– For HIPEC interventions aimed at "closed womb" and "open belly"
– For HIVC and HITC
Fast implementation
All contact with the fluid elements met in a sterile disposable HYDROBOX that installs in one motion on the basis of the unit.
The implementation requires no attention from the surgeon and is usually carried out by technicians.
Ease of use
The Hydrocare has a panel PC with an adapted touch screen, ensuring both ease of use and reliability.
With the touch screen, the operator can access all the functions of the Hydrocare :
– Fine adjustment instructions and safety thresholds (alarms)
– Display of all measured values (temperature, pressure, flow, volume)
– Display and the progress of the operation state
– The panel PC with the touch screen is easily installed on the gallows
– At power, the program starts automatically
– A complete restoration of USB system is provided
Most of the system :
– Access to controls via a touchscreen
– Automatic registration steps
– Create labels for external events
– Possible change the wording of temperature measurements
– Ability to add temperature measurement sensors during operation
MDTK : 2D-3D Convertor
MonoStereo Visualization System
MonoStereo Visualization System designed to have the stereo visualization from monoscopic image during the Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). It provides real-time display and adjustable 3D effects to minimally invasive surgery.
Since 2D rigid and flexible endoscope are both emerging tools for MIS and interventions, unfortunately, depth perception is lost in 2D endoscopic capturing and display. It makes surgical and interventional tasks harder and difficult to recognize the tissues lesions.
The system works well with all HD 2D endoscope systems, not only keep 2D features as room-in, room-out and rotation, but also see 3D effects with depth perception and adjustable 3D disparity.
Neurostyle : I0NM- intraoperative neuromonitoring
The NS-SIOM-1E is a touch-screen, user-friendly intraoperative monitoring system available in 4 or 8 channels, which has wide applications for use during different types of surgery.
This device helps reduce the risk of nerve damage during surgery and identify nerve functions before the end of surgery through monitoring of triggered EMG activities in multiple cranial and peripheral nerves. NS-SIOM-1E is applicable for Facial Nerve, Thyroid, Spinal, ENT and other general surgeries.DOWNLOAD PDF

Cedric Price, Influential architect and theoritician.
December 5, 2011
Archigram is well known and its influences on architectural world are clearly understood and illustrated. The name of Cedric Price (1934-2003) is often heard in Archigram circles as he was close to the group and took active part in discussions and even contributed but was never a formal member.
He was born in Potteries his father was an architect who specialised in Art Deco Cinema design. Cedric Price was trained at Cambridge and AA where he also taught influencing many architects, Richard Rogers, Rem Koolhaas, Will Alsop to name a few. He also worked for Maxwell Fry & Denys Lasdun before setting his own practice to build Aviary for London Zoo. He built very little but like many other thinkers had tremendous influence on future direction of architecture which continues to this day.
He was a believer in "calculated uncertainty" where adaptable, temporary structures were preferred. He believed that an 'anticipatory architect' should give people the freedom to control to shape their own environments. All buildings according to him should allow for obsolescence and complete change of use. Will Alsop, who worked for him in early 70s recalls CP's delight in designing a Cafe for Blackpool Zoo which was eventually to be turned into a giraffe home. This fitted perfectly into his themes of uncertainty, adaptability and change.
In his 'Thinkbelt' University project he proposed simple, moveable buildings which would deliver education "with the same lack of peculiarity as the supply of drinking water."
His most influential project was 'Fun Palace (1961) ' for Joan Littlewood. It was killed off by local government bureaucracy. The design of Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano's Pompidou Centre in Paris is called a direct descendant. Soon after that he designed ' Potteries Thinkbelt (1964)' which still makes great deal of sense. Among his built projects only Aviary in London Zoo remains, as he ensured that the other temporary structure for a community use 'Inter-Action Centre' in Kentish Town was not listed but demolished as intended. It is also amusing to recall that he was the only architect who was a fully paid-up member of 'Britain's National Institute of Demolition Contractors'.
"Aviary was designed for a community of birds and his idea was that once the community was
established it would be possible to remove the netting . The skin was a temporary feature: it only needed to be there long enough for the birds to begin to feel at home and after that they would not leave anyway. ………Price the theoritician, functionalist was frightened of and avoided style. …. he wasn't interested in being remebered. He was building a memory." 1*
Later in his life he worked on 'Magnet City' which was an exercise in using intermediary spaces in London urban landscape to stimulate new patterns and situations for urban movement in the city. shown in an exhibition in 1997.
He also contributed to the 'Non-Plan' debate with Paul Baker and Peter Hall. This basically was an 'anti-planning polemic' which resulted in the formation of 'enterprise zones' like Canary Wharf in London and 'Metroland' in Gateshead. On personal level I never came to see great sense in this reaction against the previous planning failures and put in their this 'free for all' American style money making system even if it generated big business and attracted lots of users.
1* Will Alsop's recollections.

Timpanogos Middle School
1415 E 980 S, Heber City, UT 84032 Office telephone no. 435-654-0550 Fax 435-654-0622
Welcome to Ms. Conlin's Web Page!Name: Kimber Conlin
Email Address: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone number: (435) 654-
About me:
I love science and I love the vitality of youth, that's why I am a teacher! While teaching at Rocky Mountain Middle School I served as the advisor for an after school science club and led a group of students on spring break science field trips to Florida and Costa Rica. The more involved students are in science, the more they enjoy it! I grew up in Escalante,a very small town in southern Utah, and learned to love nature through hiking, camping, fishing and just plain living without malls, movie theaters or bowling alleys. My family moved to the "big City" of Heber when I was in high school and I graduated from good ol' Wasatch High. Since that time I have served an LDS mission in Kentucky, graduated from SUU in pre-med, attended one year of pharmacy school at the UofU, student taught seminary at Murray high school (where I learned that teaching was my true love), returned to SUU for a teaching degree, taught science in Rialto, California for 5 years and then finally returned home to Heber where I have been teaching science for the past 25 years.
My absolute favorite activity is traveling and I have visited at least 27 national parks, 38 states, and 27 countries on 4 of the continents. Another love that I share with my family is roller-coasters, we love going to theme parks with super hairy wild rides! I also love reading, hiking, camping and playing board games. I dislike housework, weeding, boring meetings, heavy traffic, large cities and crowded places. I have a wonderful husband and three fantastic sons and beautiful daughter in law. who like doing these things with me, or at least they put up with it! I also have 3 adorable grandchildren. My only claim to fame is that MIT chose me as one of the 40 top science teachers in the nation in 2002 and named a minor planet (really a large asteroid) in my honor- kinda cool huh!

(Tod Goldberg's "When They Let Them Bleed" is included in Best American Essays 2013; it originally appeared in issue 13 of Hobart)
I've written about Jon Kerstetter's "Triage" and his adept use of the section break. I read Tod Goldberg's "When They Let Them Bleed" the same week I read Kerstetter, and Goldberg takes the section break and turns it up to eleven. There are nineteen different sections in this essay, and I might be off by one or two. I would call this essay a collage or mosaic except I normally think of those sub-genres as filled with seemingly disconnected sections, and Goldberg's is more cohesive than essays that tend to fall in those categories. He just uses the different sections to explore the same situation from as many perspectives as possible: the death of Duk Koo Kim.
Quite simply, Duk Koo Kim died from a punch he received in a boxing match with Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini at Caesars Palace on November 13, 1982 (Kim died a few days later in the hospital). Goldberg watched the match on TV; he was eleven. He describes how he was a cutter before we knew what cutters were. He would place the tip of his pocketknife into the girth of his stomach, wishing he could just cut the fat away. It has also been years since he's seen his father, but his father has given him a subscription to Sports Illustrated, and Goldberg would meticulously remove the covers from the magazine and plaster them on his bedroom walls. He's a kid in pain drawn to sports heroes.
Then he watches someone get pummeled to death on TV. Of course, that event sticks with him. Parts of this essay explore what he learns about Kim and how he was born and grew up in South Korea before he fought and died in Las Vegas. A lot of things changed after this event. They changed for Kim's family. They changed for Mancini. They changed for boxing. They even changed for Sports Illustrated (Goldberg counts the number of times boxing was featured on the magazine's cover before and after the Mancini-Kim bout). Of course, they changed for Goldberg, too. The power of this essay is in how he mines the ripple effects of this one event. I don't think he left anything out, but his essay in no way feels long or drawn out. It just feels deep and smart.
A few passages I marked:
"I can't think of Duk Koo Kim, who weighed 135 pounds and was five foot six and was fighting for the lightweight championship of the world, without thinking about how at the same time I was eleven years old and stood just four foot eight and weighed 135 pounds, about how I would squeeze the layers of fat on my stomach against the frame of my shower and imagine slamming the door hard enough to just cleave the skin off, how it would solve so many problems, how lucky it would be just to melt into the crowd of students at my school, to be an invisible boy" (206).
"What's a knockout? Technically, it's a stroke. A very small stroke, but a stroke no less" (207).
"For many years I have wondered why their deaths don't haunt me as much as this stranger's death, this boy who died by the calculated risk of becoming a boxer, and I can only conclude that it's all about distance. I didn't see either of my friends die—though in some respect I should have at least seen the signs, but I was a boy too, and they were boys, and you can't expect boys to see things like pain and depression as clearly as retrospect would like us to believe—I just stood there in the aftermath and wondered why I was thinking of a dead boxer" (214).
"I stopped hurting myself after Duk Koo Kim died. I don't know why. I still have the pocketknife, however. It's in an old tackle box that's out in my garage. It's strange: I have a tendency to hold on to things that are relics of bad memories, as if by knowing where they are I'll somehow be able to avoid the unlucky occurrence of running into them and being overwhelmed" (215).

This is just a quick peek at what is coming very, very soon to an App Store near you …
Tag Archives: metals
We have added industrial metals; Aluminum, Copper, Nickel, Lead and Zinc are now available!
iCurrency Plus is now officially supporting industrial metals; you can see prices of Aluminum, Copper, Nickel, Lead and Zinc. Similar to any other currency pair, you can select any of these industrial metals and track their price in any other currency. Currently more than 130 currencies are supported.
Of course, we just started to collect data, so historical records and graphs will be available soon. Since these metals have no official ISO 4217 codes, we took the liberty to create XAL for Aluminum, XCU for Copper, XNI for Nickel, XPB for Lead and XZN for Zinc.
As a friendly reminder, for the iPhone users, if you do not see the new flag, please delete the application, download it again from the App Store and re-install it (do not worry you will not need to pay for it again). OSX and iPad users should see the new flags as soon as they restart the application.
Best regards from the Limited Securities!

Devo Are matches made in heaven Part 5
Psalm 139:13-18 (NIV)
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand--
when I awake, I am still with you.
I read an article on DNA and marriage recently. I can't remember what magazine it was in, but it simply said that people who we marry and the relationship last have very similar DNA to us. I guess it's that rib thing. lol. It just seems to reason that if God was so careful to knit each of us together in our mother's womb He was knitting someone together for us that would fit. He has a plan for you laid out follow it or go your own way. Let me know how that has been working for you. His ways are not our ways. His thoughts are not our thoughts. The word says he has so much more for you than you can think or imagine. Now I know what some of you are thinking, but pastor it's too late for me. I think I married the wrong person or I destroyed my life. He's God, He can make all things new again. People He can turn it all around you your good. Just repent, start walking in integrity from this day forward and seek Him. He will do the rest. It's not by might,nor by power, but by His Spirit. It is grace grace.

Bioware: Next Mass Effect on "The Right Track"
Pages 1 2 3 4 5 6 NEXT
Bioware: Next Mass Effect on "The Right Track"
Bioware won't have anything to show from the new Mass Effect for "a while."
While Bioware is still be fairly mum on what exactly the new Mass Effect will be about, the developer hasn't been shy about telling gamers how good it will be. Back in July, for instance, cinematic director Ken Thain said that "fans will be really excited" when they play the game. Now, joining his praise, more voices from within the company have taken to Twitter to tell gamers how great the future game will be.
"Watching absolutely stunning work from [the Mass Effect] team," Tweeted community manager Jessica Merizan. "Such a passionate, talented group of devs." Aidan Scanlan, assistant director of design, expressed his own excitement over Twitter. "Just saw a early presentation for the next Mass Effect. Good thing you weren't here because you would have Lost... Your... Shit!"
Bioware Montreal director Yanick Roy was also on hand to share in his colleagues' enthusiasm. "The rest of BioWare finally got to get a first look at the next Mass Effect. Their reaction tells me we're on the right track!" Even so, he also affirmed that "it probably will still be a while before [Bioware] show anything publicly."
While there are probably plenty of people who would love to see whatever Bioware has to show off right now, it's hard to blame the company for wanting to take things slow and put its best foot forward. Mass Effect 3 as a whole was an excellent game, but many still left the experience feeling burned on account of its controversial ending. It's probably safe to assume Bioware wants to avoid a similar reaction with the next entry in the franchise. If that means the developers taking their time, then we say more power to them.
Source: GameSpot
That's great, but is there any word what it's about? If it's a prequel I'm not sure I'd call that 'the right track'.
It's good that the rest of the article is there to frame this statement, because if I had read this as a standalone tweet like many people will/did I'm sure the normal reaction is "So what you're telling me is that it's way worse than expected?"
can I "lost my shit" in 3 different colors? :P ... probably I will never going to overcome my hate for ME3 ending but I do love the franchise and I'm looking forward to the next game :)
I, for one, don't understand people who want to keep their shit.
So, it'll have at least one kind of tank in it, real exploration, meaningful sidequests, procedurally generated landscapes and multiple possible solutions to singular problems?
Great, because you guys cut all of those things from number three and that's why I'm probably not buying number 4.
Whilst we're at it, real money gambling, let's not be having any of that, although given EA's obsession with it (And it's appearance in Battlefield 4 of all things) I'm not holding much hope.
Wait until you've got diarrhea...
This made me laugh, so thanks :)
OK, my interest is peaked. Let's see what they have.
and fling it at the screen and bioware HQ.
sorry but the last time i heard all that "you will lose x" praise from an developer was john romero with daikatana.
so keep it down bioware until you can show something to the public.
Aidan Scanlan, guess what? People already lost their shit with the last Mass Effect game, but not in the way you're probably thinking.
EA being EA, I'm sure "on the right track" means "free-to-play", "microtransactions", "mobile", and "DLC". That is, after all, what they've announced all future titles will entail.
I really did. I never felt that kind of rage because of a video game before. It took me a long time to get to the acceptance stage.
Never understood the massive hate over an ending like ME3 received. Looking forward to see what they do with the series from here on out.
There are few things my wallet cannot resist and one of em is some good quality Mass effect ;P
Despite the loud minority, the community here voted Me3 game of the year. ;-)
That's exactly what they said for Mass Effect 3.
Biggest waste of $60.00 I ever spent.
I think I'm just going to leave this here.
Pretty much sums up all I have to say in regards to the myth that the people who hated the ME3 endings are a "vocal minority"
Also, how does one add the spoilers tag on the forums?
It was the final part of a brutal three part train wreck. Choices matter, a huh. But I'm not going to rehash the old bioware hate.
I'll simply say this, with EA's hold over them. We'll get on disc DLC, micro transactions, and it'll be FTP.
At this point it'd be better for them to just make a new IP.
Please after ME3 I wouldn't believe bioware if they said good morning.
Hahaha, yeah, awesome my ass.
Mass Effect 3's ending (And overall "GAHH WHAT THE FUCK"ness) has completely turned me off to the series. I don't know what it is, but I can't even get myself to play ME1 or ME2 now (Games that until recently were on my top 5 favorite games ever); that's how badly I feel burned by ME3.
Unless Mass Effect 4 is actually a complete rewrite of Mass Effect 3 with a great ending, great writing and a personal apology in the shape of a bucket of cookies and a refund for ME3 I have little interest in what they want to do next.
Fuck you Bioware. (Or at least the team that does ME, Dragon Age can still be redeemed).
And still... Garrus?
OT: I think i'll reserve my excitement for when there's something tangible in front of me. Getting excited over a company's self-hype seems really weird, and borderline insane. It's not like they'd ever go out and say "Hey, guys we're gonna go back to square one because it turns out our project had become absolute shit and we couldn't bring ourselves to look at it anymore".
Like I said, ME2 and ME1 were some of my favorite games, I haven't forgotten the good parts totally.
Plus I haven't found a suitable replacement avatar.
He is the shining angel of the entire franchise. Thus he is an exception. Along with Mordin, Wrex, and Tali.
The guy that made a huge video rant about how Citadel wasn't want the audience wanted right before it was released and it turned out to be EXACTLY what the audience wanted?
I will only get exited and progressively exited for this game, one I play, finish, re-play and revisit Dragon Age Inquisition. Also, wooo Bioware.
Garrus is sort of like an... arch... angel >_>
I'll find the door myself.
I know I'm pointing out the obvious here, but... This game probably won't be very good.
I totally have faith that they'll write a great story and single player experience that I will love and cherish as I have the rest of the series...BUT WHAT'S UP WITH THE MULTIPLAYER?!?! Seriously, I played that mode for a year with my friends and loved every minute of the over 350 hours I dumped into it. I can't wait to see how they follow it up!
Hah, after the mess of ME3 (More problems than just the ending, picking up a side quest by running like a retard into people to "eavesdrop" on them to get it? Fucking lame) Also hated the direction since ME2 for a CoD/Gears cover shooter and a shitty attempt at "RPG" elements.
I'll take a look at ME4, but like all their games after DA:O/ME2, it'll be shit.
This a thousand times over. I have extremely low expectations for the future of Bioware in general with what seems to be EA running their franchisees into the ground.
But yeah, meaningful exploration and sidequests with multiple solutions to problems is exactly what it needs to be.
Before Mass Effect 3 was released, Casey Hudson said:
Exactly the opposite of what Casey Hudson said turned out to be the case. There are plenty of other quotes like this, where devs claimed things about ME3 that they had to know were untrue, but I can't link you to the long compilation thread of them since Bioware deleted it from their forums (though I have a saved copy of it on my HDD). Anyway, so many promises were broken by the ME3 ending, and then protected under the aegis of "artistic integrity" (as opposed to the regular kind of integrity where you don't lie about your products), that I won't buy into the dev hype in this instance. I'll wait for user reviews of the next Mass Effect game to come out before I remotely consider buying it.
Yeah, I will hold for reviews etc, I liked ME3 but found the ending lacking. Not rage inducing, but I certainly felt cheated of what was promised.
Nice to see the team is excited for the project but I'm sure the team that made Hunted: the Demon's Forge got excited too so excuse me if I wait to hop on the hype train until I see the footage myself. And a release date. and a bunch of other things like game play and a plot hook.
I'm mostly skeptical cause I'm a little concerned ME will turn into Assassins Creed where I just don't care anymore. (Although Black Flag looks awesome.)
Bioware makes awesome claims to build hype without showing a single thing.
History? Repeating? Could very well be.
I'd say I'll wait to see the levels of tears on Steam forums after release as most sites lately just can't be trusted for honest reviews, but it'll no doubt be Origin exclusive so.. what are the Origin forums like?
You know, maybe back when ME3 was a recent thing I would be worried, but after seeing how Bioware is turning their ship around in DA:I I...actually have hope
is this what optimism feels like?

Please evaluate my winter training plan
Themightyoz posted a topic in Instruction and Playing TipsHi everyone, Attached is my winter training plan (The attahcement is coloured in its full glory). TI am working on changing my swing to a new style (Moe Norman style single plane) so need to work on putting, full swing and pitching. I have set it up as block periodized with 7 week mesocycles. In the weeks that say technical those will be primarily slow work trying to hammer down the finer points of the skill followed by a technique week where I add more constraints to make it more game like followed by a week that will primarily game like with lots of constraints (ie diff targets, hitting it shorter longer etc.) My chipping and pitching is the best part of my game so it got one cycle while full swing and putting got two. Putting is the worst part of game so thats why put it closest to the start of the season so I could peak that right before the season starts. If you are somebody who knows about periodization or just have some advice on whether what I have done here will work to improve all aspects of my game in the long term I would appreciate it. I've thrown everything I know about periodization, distributed learning and interleaving at it from my teaching background. I'm hoping others might give me their honest opinion on my plan. I am only going on what I have read and researched so any comments and criticism is welcome. Thanks. Copy of Annual-Competitive-Plan-Blank-Template.xlsx

Under unslung, you can can install the adduser package, and it will let you create user accounts using adduser, set passwords with the passwd command, etc., just like on a normal unix system. However, in an unslung system you're still using some closed-source linksys binaries, and they do things to your /etc/passwd file. You will notice that after you reboot, the linksys binaries have changed your /etc/passwd file so that the password for your newly created user has :x: rather than the hash of the password. Normally, this would indicate that the password was in a shadow password file, but the normal shadow password file doesn't exist. The long and the short of it is that you should not use adduser and passwd on an unslung system; you should use the web interface instead. In the web interface, go to Administration > Users.
The web interface sets new users' shells to /dev/null, which means they can't log in to a shell.
Bcrowell, using unslung 6.8, tried using the web interface to create a new user, and found that it still didn't work. The new user was missing from the /etc/passwd file after a reboot.
There is also a way to ChangePasswordsFromTheCommandLine, without using the web interface.

NASA does not deny the over $2 billion cost of a single SLS launch
"NASA is working to bring down the cost of a single SLS launch."
For the first time, a government cost estimate of building and flying a single Space Launch System rocket in a given year has been released. This estimate of "over $2 billion" came in the form of a letter from the White House to the Senate Appropriations Committee first reported by Ars this week.
Dont forget development costs
What the White House cost estimate did not include, however, was development costs. Since 2011, Congress has appropriated approximately $2 billion per year for the "development" of the SLS rocket (this does not include hundreds of millions of dollars spent annually on ground systems "development" for the rocket at Kennedy Space Center).
Adding all of this up, the true cost of a Space Launch System mission with Orion on top in the 2020s, including the rocket's development but excluding ground systems and Orion development costs, appears to be in the ballpark of $5 billion per flight.
Let's hope the astronauts are served more than just pretzels after takeoff.

I know that crocheters sometimes feel like the Cinderella of the needlecraft ball. While her adored stepsister, Belle Knit, dances the night away, Crochet-erella stays home sifting the internet for hard-to-find modern crochet patterns. That's why we love to use whatever magic we can muster in order to restore Crochet-erella to her rightful place as the glass-slipper-wearing fashion princess that she is!
This Rib Cowl is as lush and dramatic, cascading and gorgeous, as any knit counterpart. And in Purl Soho's Super Soft Merino, it's seriously cozy too. I plucked this beautiful, wear-with-everything Storm Gray from our newest palette of moody neutrals. Just right for a ball gown!
In a simple rib stitch that even very beginners can master, your Rib Cowl will definitely be done before midnight! And for more experienced crocheters who don't yet know how to make a Foundation Single Crochet (a foundation chain and the first row of single crochet all at once!), take this opportunity to learn with our new tutorial right here.
So, at last, Crochet-erella can get off the internet and join the party! I love a happy ending! -Whitney
- 5 skeins of Purl Soho's Super Soft Merino, 100% merino wool. This color is Storm Gray. Check out our other beautiful grays too: Oyster Gray is pale and delicate and Toasted Charcoal is warm and dark.
- Boye's Size P Crochet Hook (11.5mm)
2 1/3 single crochets = 1 inch
Finished Dimensions: 9 inches wide x 60 inches in circumference
To make the Rib Stitch you create a single crochet fabric as usual, but instead of inserting the hook under both loops of the previous row's single crochets, you insert the hook only under the back loop. The pink below indicates three "back loops"…
And here is the hook going under a back loop…
If You Are a Beginner Crocheter…
Chain 141.
Foundation Row: Starting with second chain from hook, make 1 single crochet into each chain. (140 stitches)
If You Are a More Experienced Crocheter…
Make a Foundation Single Crochet of 140 stitches. (If you haven't tried this technique, it's well worth learning! Check out our Foundation Single Crochet Tutorial right here.)
*Turn the work. Make 1 single crochet into the back loop of each stitch. (140 stitches)
Repeat from * until piece measures 9 inches from the beginning, ending so that the working yarn is on the same end of the piece as the foundation tail.
Cut the yarn, leaving a 3-foot tail, and pull it through the remaining stitch.
Thread the tail onto a yarn needle and checking that the cowl isn't twisted, sew the two ends together. Make sure that the ribs line up on one side (this will be the "right side"). I found that a simple whip stitch looks best…
Weave in the ends and wrap yourself up!
