Thursday, April 11
Who/What: "Weird Al" Yankovic
When: 8 p.m.
Where: Tennessee Theatre
Price: $39.50 to $49.50
Melodi's Take: This comedian/musical joker certainly has an interesting résumé. Thirteen albums, three EPs and various amounts of nominations and awards, "Weird Al" Yankovic has done almost everything and anything to put his name out there, and his stop at the Tennessee Theatre will without a doubt entertain the Knoxville crowd. His interesting sartorial choices and his crazy, wild curly hair will be adorning the historic theater's stage this Thursday night. If you've got a few extra dollars to spend before the semester is over, enjoy the best "Weird Al" has to offer at this performance. If there's anything it will guarantee to be, it will be, in a word, weird.
Friday, April 12
Who: Monophonics
Where: Barley's Taproom and Pizzeria
When: 10 p.m.
Price: N/A. Ages 21 and over
Victoria's Take: Bow-chicka-wow-wow. That's the phrase you'll be saying (or slurring) with the funk jam band Monophonics. These guys know soul, and there's never a bad time to get your groove on to some good funk music. Check them out on YouTube and preview the band for yourself.
Saturday, April 13
Who: Generationals with Splashh
When: 10 p.m.
Where: Pilot Light (ages 18+)
Price: $8
Melodi's Take: Quality indie music is hard to find in small, southern towns like Knoxville, but New Orleans-based band, Generationals, is gracing its talent this Saturday at Pilot Light. Their music is quirky, compelling and easy to listen to; comparable to fellow indie genre bands like Of Montreal and Vampire Weekend, Generationals sound fantastic in their recordings and are sure to impress on stage. Their opening band for the night will be Splashh, and English band from London who fuse garage and punk music into one. These two bands produce amazing music and it would be a shame if any indie fan would miss out on this concert. And for eight bucks, it's a no brainer.
Sunday, April 14
Who: Esperanza Spalding
Where: Tennessee Theater
When: 7:30 p.m.
Price: $5 for UT students, $39.50 for general public
Victoria's Take: Grammy award winning cello extraordinaire Esperanza Spalding is a force to be reckoned with (and her hair is really awesome). I mean, the girl started playing professionally at 5 years old. What were you doing with your life? Don't miss this awesome opportunity to attend the show. Seriously, you'll be mad if you don't.

I woke up one morning and I felt different. I can't quite explain it but I just felt that my body was changing. I was 43 years old. "This Can't Be Menopause!…Can It?" I thought.
From the time I got my first period at age 12, I suffered the pain of menstruation. The cramps were unbearable. The first two days of my period, every month, were spent curled up in bed with a hot water bottle warming my stomach to help with the awful pain that I was experiencing.
I was told that when I had children the discomfort of stomach cramps would subside. But after my third child, they didn't and to make matters worse I developed another problem called Endometriosis. For those of you who do not know this gynecological disorder that affects over 5 million women, it occurs when the endometrial lining (found inside the uterus) begins to grow on the outside of the uterus causing lesions to the ovaries, fallopian tubes and binds tissue to other organs in areas near the uterus.
Sounds awful? well it is and extremely painful. The pain would start around the time of ovulation each month. Sex was excruciating. It was like a knife cutting through my right ovary. Today they have laser treatments for this condition, but back then, I was told the only two cures for Endometriosis was having a hysterectomy or "menopause".
Most women start ovulating in the middle of the month, accompanied with water retention and sore tender breasts. For me, ovulation also triggered the start of my endometrium pain. It was December and I went to my gynecologist (this was before Dr. Greene) for a check-up. I told her that I don't seem to have the usual monthly symptoms and that I feel different; and for some reason I thought maybe I am entering menopause, she snickered and said "You are too young for menopause"!! (She never checked my blood to see what my hormone levels were) I had a bleed in January and that was the last period I ever got again. I was in full fledge menopause. It was also the last time I ever experienced the pain associated with Endometriosis. It just seemed to disappear.
What a trade off!!! I got rid of one awful situation in exchange for the emotional highs and lows, hot flashes, and vaginal dryness of menopause.
The first treatment I tried was the estrogen patch, and a progesterone pill. I couldn't bring myself to put the patch on. I would take it out and look at it every day for about a month. I felt old and thought if I use this how will I feel, will it change me? I made my husband sit down with me the first time I slapped that patch on my butt and swallowed the pill. I was scared!!! I did not have a good reaction to the meds. It did help the hot flashes but not the mood swings. No one seemed to understand what I was going through. The kids wanted their Mom; my husband wanted a wife, and my growing business required my full attention and I just wanted to be left alone to deal with my emotion.
Somehow I got through menopause. 25 years later, I still get the hot flashes (go figure). Dr. Greene says that some women never get rid of those hot flashes or vaginal dryness. Well I chose the later and embarked on a crusade to find a solution to vaginal dryness and discomfort. Thanks to my cosmetics background and relentless research, I was able to pool my resources and create Vaginal Renewal Complex. And it has truly changed my life.
Something's, however never change; the kids still want their Mom, my husband still wants his wife and I sometimes still wish everyone would just leave me alone to deal with my emotion. But they don't; and I wouldn't have it any other way.
My little secret: I am a happy woman, doing exactly what I am meant to do. What could be bad??

StarTalk Radio - Science Gets Fabulous
Cosmic images from distant nebulas and galaxies are decorating leggings, jeggings, jewelry, and more. Explore this new trend with our hosts, astrophysicists Summer Ash and Emily Rice, who run the space-fashion-themed STARtorialist blog, and their co-host, Chuck Nice. Not only have designers taken images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray observatory and put them onto dresses, ties, and socks, but they've even made necklaces and other jewelry featuring design elements or the very shapes of the telescopes themselves. But how exactly does the data sent back to Earth by our celestial observing posts end up on the fashion show runway? And how accurate are those images? In this episode, Emily and Summer explain how infrared and x-ray data can be converted into scientifically valid and accurate full-color images that can be seen by the human eye. You'll also learn about the powerful worldwide Deep Space Network that communicates with satellites from every nation – and that you can explore yourself online. Explore the difference between the observable universe that we perceive as a sphere, and the actual universe, which we think is flat. Summer and Emily also answer your Cosmic Queries, including whether the increase in space-inspired fashion is encouraging more female interest in astronomy and science, or if it's just making it more acceptable for scientists of all genders to display their love for science and express themselves fashionably… and fabulously.

Sea World in the 90's…
I have distinct memories of wearing a hot pink shirt, a non-flattering boy hair cut and one front tooth was missing. The year was 1992. I was 8 years old and we were on a family trip to Sea World. I had always been a lover of animals and had a desire of becoming a veterinarian as a young girl. Experincing Sea World was so exciting! I remember dipping my hand in the cool water touching the sting rays glide by or being splashed by the dolphin show as they entertained the crowd.
Free Willy
1 year later after my trip to Sea World the movie Free Willy came out and became an instant fave. I still remember the Michael Jackson song that was highlighted throughout the movie and the bond that existed between boy and whale which cultivated a fondness for whales that I still have to this day. This movie would shine a small spotlight on the idea of kidnapping whales from their home as being damaging and unnatural but it didn't stop the general population from being spectators at these giant aquariums.
Black Fish
20 years later a film would be released that would uncover the truth behind one of America's most visited places. If you haven't seen it, proceed with caution and have tissues in hand. If you have seen it then you will know why having a reservation about going to Sea World would exist.
My son is 9 years old and we've already done Disney Land. Part of me has wanted to go to Sea World and take him there to experience what I had as a child. But, why did I have to feel guilty about taking my family there? Embarrassed of potential backlash from nay sayers? At either rate I kept the trip on the DL.
The day came and it was time to enter the park. 10 hours later we will have had our best family vacation to date. The interactions with a variety of sea life throughout the day brought a happiness and smile to our faces that we will always look back on with fondness. I don't regret going. I'm happy to have shared that experience with my family.

Bell Canada's Playoff Dasherboard Grows a Following/
Are you looking for new, innovative ways to drive awareness for your playoff signage? Are you looking for new, creative ideas in the hockey space?
During the 2010 playoffs, Bell Canada displayed one of the most creative marketing tactics seen in hockey to date.
The telecom provider leveraged its partnerships with Canadian NHL clubs that made the 2010 playoffs by featuring a rinkside dasherboard that displayed the terminology "La Vie est Bell" (meaning Life is Good in French) and accompanied the phrase with a man's giant smiling face that grew more and more facial hair each game and each round. The signage literally grew hair during the game!
Although there wasn't a direct tie-in, the dasherboard served as a tremendous way to drive buzz for the Bell Canada brand throughout the NHL playoffs, when fan affinity reaches its peak. The campaign tied in nicely with the famous playoff beard theme throughout the playoffs and kept many fans guessing. This would be a PERFECT tactic to leverage partners like Gillette, Nivea, Schick, etc.
As reported on ThePensBlog.com, here is a visual depiction of Bell Canada's dasherboard signage literaly growing facial hair throughout the game:

White Bean & Chicken Chili
Have you ever tasted a dish somewhere away from home that was so good, you immediately thought to yourself, "I must find a way to make this at home"? This White Bean & Chicken Chili is that dish for me.
I've made a few changes from the original, namely omitting the potatoes, but I feel I've captured all of the flavors I was trying to recreate with this recipe. Knowing I can make my favorite chicken chili whenever I want now instantly brings a smile to my face.
This chicken chili is quite possibly the only reason I've survived this seemingly endless winter with record amounts of snow. There's something about the smokey heat in chicken chili that I find so appealing. It's as if you've taken two of the most comforting foods out there – chicken noodle soup and chili – and combined them into one ultra satisfying and heart-warming dish.
White Bean & Chicken Chili
Serves 4-6
As written, the recipe has a subtle but noticeable amount of heat. If you like your chili really spicy, add more chili powder or chiles. Don't let the BBQ sauce scare you. It's there to add a touch of smokiness and depth of flavor.
1 medium onion, diced
2 Tablespoons butter, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 4oz cans chopped green chiles, drained
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoon chili powder
3 Tablespoons flour
32oz chicken broth or chicken stock
2 16oz cans canellini or other white beans, drained
1-2 Tablespoons of BBQ sauce, to taste (I use Sweet Baby Ray's)
1 1/2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
salt, to taste
In a medium stock pot over medium heat, melt 1 Tablespoon of butter. Add onions and saute until translucent and soft. Add garlic, cook for 1 minute.
Add remaining 1 Tablespoon butter, then stir in chiles, cumin, chili powder and flour. Stir until vegetables are coated and a wet paste forms. Cook 2-3 minutes more to remove raw flour taste. Pour chicken broth in slowly, stirring quickly and constantly to remove lumps. Add white beans and BBQ sauce. Add salt, to taste. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, until thickened. (I like to mash up some of the beans in the pot at this point to thicken the chili even further.)
Add chicken and cook until chicken is heated and chili reaches desired consistency.

Oh this chili looks so delicious! I'm bookmarking this. :) Thank you.
March 3, 2010 3:07 pm
I've been looking for a good chicken chili recipe! Thanks!
March 19, 2010 4:40 pm
I made this last weekend and it is fabulous! Well, it was – we scarfed it right up! I followed the recipe exactly (even used Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce) and I would not change a thing. (I didn't add any salt at all- it has plenty of flavor already!) This is such a great alternative for someone like me who loves chili but can't have the tomatoes. Thanks for the recipe – we will definitely be having this again.

If the Criminal Justice Clubs from McKinney Boyd High School, McKinney High School and McKinney North High School are any indication, the future of law enforcement is in capable hands.
Representatives from all three clubs were among approximately 300 Texas high school criminal justice students who gathered at Burleson High School to test their law enforcement skills at the Texas Public Service Association State Competition. McKinney ISD students acquitted themselves well, placing in the top three in seven of 16 events designed to encompass a broad range of essential law enforcement duties – from the routine (Fingerprinting) to the dramatic (Hostage Negotiation).
"I am so proud of all of our students for all of their hard work and the effort they exhibited at this year's competition," said Andrea King, Criminal Justice teacher at McKinney Boyd High School. "Their hard work and drive to be successful – and their desire to learn – set them apart and helped them achieve these great results."
McKinney Boyd High School State Competition Results:
First Place: Traffic Stop – Josie Ellenburg
First Place: Criminal Case Analysis – Caitlin Edgar and Carly Crane
Second Place: Criminal Case Analysis – Stacie Worrel and Brittney Hutcherson
Second Place: Brain Bowl – Caitlin Edgar, Stacie Worrel, Arely Tecuatl-Perez, and Joe Scibek
Third Place: Foot Pursuit – Joe Scibek
McKinney High School State Competition Results:
First Place: Felony Traffic Stop – Jamie Voets, Kiven Steitz, and Chase Hendrickson
Second Place: Law Enforcement Hiring Process – Kiven Steitz
Second Place: First Responder – Jasmine Kelton
The McKinney clubs had about a month to ready themselves for the state competition after dominating at regionals where, collectively, they took first place in 14 of 16 events and Boyd was named Outstanding School in the region.
A number of McKinney Police Department officers lent their time and expertise during the teams' preparations for state.
"Sergeant Holmes cosponsored the MHS club, offering his extensive knowledge in all of the events that the kids competed in," said Kina Vinson, Criminal Justice teacher at McKinney High School.
"Other officers specialized in certain events," she said. "For instance, Detective Stephens is on the McKinney SWAT team, so he focused on the Hostage Negotiation event. Officers Messner, Cisneros and McGee are all patrol officers, so they focused on events like Traffic Accident Report Writing, Felony and Basic Traffic Stops – things they do every day on the job – and Detective Walterscheid took the forensics students over to the police department crime lab where he taught them how to meticulously work a crime scene."
"Our school resource officers stepped in when we were all exhausted and fine-tuned the kids' skills before the competition. It was a huge collaboration that resulted in a huge success!" Vinson said.
The Criminal Justice Clubs at Boyd, MHS and North are part of a growing McKinney ISD program that aims to prepare students for a career in the field of law enforcement. Their efforts to that end appear to be right on target, and a great showing at state competition only confirmed what King had already come to believe about her students.
"They will definitely make good officers one day," she said, "and I will be confident they will serve and protect the community well."

Bond markets continued to do the exact same thing they've been doing all year: follow stocks/oil. Today was the first day of the year that stocks had 2 consecutive winning days. Yesterday's winning day was a minor inconvenience for bonds, but today's move in stocks was much bigger. As such, it's no surprise to see bonds taking a bit of a bigger hit.
10yr yields came into the domestic session over 2.07 and were as high as 2.089 by mid-morning. After European markets closed, bonds were able to gain some traction and end the day with 10yr yields only 2.9bps higher. Fannie 3.0s were only 3 ticks weaker by the close, but lender rate sheets belied the gentleness of the secondary market's adjustments (i.e. rate sheets got hit a bit harder than MBS prices would have suggested).

I may not be a doctor, a businessman, or an open space committee member, but I know what's good for my family and it's not another four years of bad decisions by incumbents or committee members and their associates.
In the last City Council election, I made the mistake of trusting candidates who said they believed in public safety, fiscal responsibility and transparency, without asking for specifics. This time around I have asked for specifics and because I have done my homework, I am voting for REEVE, REARDON and WORTHINGTON for the following reasons:
Public Safety
Imagine putting your house up for sale tomorrow and potential buyers ask you about the schools in the area. What are you going to say, "Well there are many public and private schools to choose from. Most are in gang injunction neighborhoods and the public ones have sub-standard scores and gang members…the private ones that aren't in the gang injunction neighborhoods range from $15,0000-$30,000 per child. So how do you like my house now?"
Nielsen and Uso have had four years to address this and have chosen social engineering (daycare, counseling) over stepped-up law enforcement. Kramer and Taylor agree with Nielsen… We citizens cannot take another four years of this insanity where social engineering takes the place of actual law enforcement.
Fiscal Responsibility
I am sick and tired of hearing, "Our city staff is overworked" and "I don't have support from my fellow council members" to "We don't have enough money." Look at some pet projects they do have money for:
- $200,000 for gang counseling
- $339,756 for daycare (yr. 10/11 $78,058 - 9/10 $78,058- 8/09 $91,820 7/08 $91,820)
- $575,000 on a road for the Rancho Mission Viejo Riding Park open space debacle, (that we residents can't drive on!)
- 3 YEARS FREE rent o CREER, whose stated mission is "Empowering Latino Youth." CREER refuses non-Hispanic members, and works with La Raza and OCCCO in a convenient location from one of our city buildings surrounded by gang injunction neighborhoods.
- $600,000 on a Redevelopment Plan where consultants removed private property at will, i.e. Denaults, Plaza De Prosperidad's parking lot, Plaza Del "O", and others. My favorite, drawing a grassy, tree filled median down Del Obispo (INGENIUS), which will slow down traffic by taking existing road space! (I could have given my 10yr. old some markers and told him to stay in between the property lines, and he'd have done a better job).
Just a mother's advice.

Well, here we go, the second song from the next Foo Fighters album has been released and it's…lacking. They've long been one of my favourite bands but this song just doesn't do it for me. Take a listen for yourself:
I really want to like this song but I just can't. Nothing about this sounds anything like the Foo Fighters. They've lost their trademark sound, and while this song wouldn't necessarily be bad if another band released it, it's bad because they aren't another band. They're the Foo Fighters and I expect better than this.
Hopefully the album as a whole doesn't disappoint.

Construction of a politically correct pyramid or Snapshots of Dushanbe summits
A colossal array of twelve state flags of CIS countries was installed on one of transport junctions in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, on the eve of three summits - those of the Commonwealth, Eurasian Economic Cooperation Organization, and CIS Collective Security Treaty Organization. The pyramid (for want of a better word) looks great from the cars and trolleybuses passing by but the clash of colors serves to obscure its difference from similar arrays of the same CIS flags elsewhere in Dushanbe. The difference comes down to the arrangement of flags. Elsewhere, the flags are arranged alphabetically. In this colossal array, however, the artists were permitted certain leeway that plainly shows official Dushanbe's political preferences. Indeed, an attentive observer sees that the top of the pyramid crowned with the Tajik flag of course is flanked by the flags of Armenia, Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. State flags of Georgia, Uzbekistan, and Moldova on the other hand are noticeably closer to the foundation. Priorities of Dushanbe's foreign political course seem to be clear.
No more wittiness on the part of domestic and foreign wisecrackers who are fond of appraising the Commonwealth as it is as "a valise without handgrips", "Commonwealth of the Impoverished and Starved" and so on. The organization in question seems to be attaining a new structure. "At long last, we are through with proclamation of ambitious goals that look great and exist only on paper," was how President of Tajikistan Emomali Rakhmon put it. The CIS summit established the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. The structure welcomes any other country willing to open its borders for trade and have similar customs duties (or lack thereof) with other members. There is one other distinctive innovation. A supranational structure is to be set up to manage the Customs Union, the first structure of this kind in sixteen years of existence of the Commonwealth.
One other nuance, one that couldn't help making happy yours truly accustomed as he is to interpreting the term "ambitious" as "self-conceited, arrogant, and snobbish". Symbolically, this word was used during the Year of the Russian Language by the president of Tajikistan. In Russia, however, the term "ambitious" still denotes something altogether different and actually commendable.
The document "On coordinated immigration policy" became a major step forward for all of the Commonwealth. Volumes have been written already on how the scale of immigration (first and foremost to Russia and Kazakhstan) soared over the last five or six years. This new "great migration" therefore continues the geopolitical processes launched by the Russian Empire - not even by the USSR. "We are working on a CIS database for immigrants, and that will help us avoid a lot of conflicts," Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan said.
On the other hand, what "economic" decisions have been made so far do not address the matter of dough spiralling prices that is of vital importance for 90% Tajiks. A sackful that cost 75 somoni barely a month ago goes at 120-125 somoni (approximately $40) now. In fact, it already goes at 150 somoni in the Pamirs and a sackful is essentially a weekly norm for a family of 7 or 8. Most dough is imported to Tajikistan from Kazakhstan. A solution to this problem from the sisterly nation and member of all three organizations that arranged their summits in Dushanbe would have been greatly appreciated.
The question "Who are we friends against?" has always been pressing for every military-political alliance. The CIS Collective Security Treaty Organization, for instance, has "international terrorism" alone as this object of "friendship against" even though international terrorism is not actually an enemy but an instrument in military and psychological wars.
It may be added that the item "Activeness of the CIS Collective Security Treaty Organization as applied to Afghanistan" disappeared off the summit agenda at the last possible moment. All attempts to discover the reasons behind it at the Secretariat of the CIS Collective Security Treaty Organization elicited but a garbled explanation that the issue was probably to be discussed by some "narrow circle of participants". General Secretary Nikolai Bordyuzha said that the CIS Collective Security Treaty Organization was only pondering post-conflict restoration of Afghanistan at this point. Bordyuzha emphasized that any direct military involvement in Afghani affairs, even with the Americans gone, was out of the question. "We have experts working on all possible situations that may take shape in Afghanistan once the Western contingents withdrew from it," Bordyuzha said. With the Democrats in the White House as of this November which is a distinct possibility, withdrawal of the US Army from Afghanistan will spell trouble for Tajikistan because of the nearly inevitable disintegration of the country the Americans have been trying to hold together.
In the meantime, Rakhmon too mentioned "activization of our efforts in the Afghani direction" at the final press conference.
One other item on the agenda ("Rearmament of the Rapid Deployment Collective Forces of the Central Asian Collective Security Region with modern military hardware and special means") was quite important a part of the agenda.
"The program is expected to make rearmament of the Rapid Deployment Collective Forces easier and to have them outfitted with identical military hardware and weapons. To accomplish that, members of the CIS Collective Security Treaty Organization will be offered these products of the Russian military-industrial complex at preferential prices," to quote Colonel General Ivan Babichev, Senior Deputy Chief of the United Staff of the CIS Collective Security Treaty Organization. "It will make accomplishment of missions much easier because all regular armies of the member states will wield identical military hardware with similar specifications, life duration, and maintenance requirements. It will also simplify training (technicians and crews like)."
It seems that the CIS Collective Security Treaty Organization is faithfully performing its duties symbolically denoted in its emblem (four differently directed arrows, a sign once used on military topographic maps in the late 18th and early 19th centuries). In the emblem, the arrows are placed within wreaths of olive and oak leafs - the former symbolizing glory, the latter gallantry. The ends of the arrows do exceed the wreaths some - as a warning to the hypothetical enemy, perhaps?

Glasgow Coma Scale May Underestimate Severity of Isolated Traumatic Brain Injury in Patients ≥ 65 years old
EBM Focus - Volume 10, Issue 37
Read the full EBM Focus and earn CME credit.
Reference - Emerg Med J 2015 Aug;32(8):613 (level 2 [mid-level] evidence)
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a simple and well-validated tool used to assess the degree of brain injury in patients with head trauma (SIGN 2009 May PDF). The GCS is not only used as part of the patient assessment to help guide initial treatment and potential transfer to major trauma centers, but it also plays an important role in determining continued patient care and prognosis. Previous reports have suggested that elderly adults with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury may have higher presenting GCS scores than younger adults (J Trauma 2004 May;56(5):1042), but that study only had 44 patients aged ≥ 65. A recent retrospective cohort study assessed the GCS scores of 561 patients with significant isolated traumatic brain injury, defined as a head Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) score of 3-5 and no additional injuries with an AIS score > 2.
Fifty-seven percent of patients were ≥ 65 years old. There were no significant differences in the distribution of head AIS scores comparing patients ≥ 65 years old to patients
< 65 years old. Presenting GCS scores and survival were significantly different between elderly and younger patients, however (see Table 1 below).
The results of this study suggest that the GCS may be less accurate for predicting the extent of isolated traumatic brain injury in adults ≥ 65 years old compared to younger adults. This is consistent with current guidelines that list age > 65 years as an indication for noncontrast head CT in patients without a loss of consciousness or post-traumatic amnesia (Ann Emerg Med 2008 Dec;52(6):714, NICE 2014 Jan 22:CG176). Given the role of the GCS in assessing and treating patients with traumatic brain injuries, these results are important to consider in the approach to elderly patients with traumatic head injuries.

Earth Magazine quote about the formation conditions of Hadean zircon.
American Mineralogist: Journal of Earth and Planetary Science noted paper.
"On page 1348 of this issue, Harrison and Wielicki examine 4.4 Ga zircons that appear to have formed from nearly water-saturated conditions, at low temperatures of ca. 680C. But they also show that Tertiary age granites in the Himalaya, formed by under-thrusting of the Indian plate beneath Asia, yield similar temperatures (ca. 660C). Moreover, these granites share more than a thermal history – both the ancient and more recently formed zircons contain inclusions that yield similar pressures, or 5-15 kbar. Two aspects of these results are remarkable, and highly significant; the first is that if nothing else, the Hadean exhibited, at least locally and for a time, a modern-like continental geotherm, effectively equivalent to a Miocene case (at ca. 25C/km). Second, to the extent that P-T conditions are indicative, a similar tectonic setting for both systems is implied; and if the association holds, then active plate tectonics – including subduction – occurred from almost the inception of Earth's history."

Oregonia, Ohio
Community Information
Oregonia is a popular stop along the Little Miami Bike trail that follows along the river. Each year in October, the "Devil's Staircase" motorcycle hill climb is held near here attracting motor enthusiasts of all ages.
The now sleepy village of Oregonia sits in northwestern Washington Township, on the eastern shore of the scenic Little Miami River about five miles northeast of Lebanon. First settled by mill owners around 1802, the town was originally called Freeport, then Oregon, and finally sometime in the 1880s it became Oregonia. 6200 residents called the rolling hills home, but the area is expected to grow with the recent approval of the San Mar Gale development, the largest planned unit development in the county. Developers plan to build 2500+ homes on more than 3300 acres, with construction expected to begin in early 2008.
Oregonia is easily reachable via Interstate 71, St. Rt. 123, and Oregonia or Corwin Road.
Bethesda Medical Center at Arrow Springs offers the region state-of-the-art outpatient medical care, including 24-hour emergency services and comprehensive diagnostic testing. Across the county is the Atrium Medical Center, and just a few minutes south on I-71 is Bethesda North Hospital, one of the area's busiest hospitals.
You'll find basic needs in Oregonia, with most residents heading to nearby Lebanon for their shopping needs. Several major shopping malls are within a 30 minute drive.
Ideally situated in one of the region's most active areas, residents have a lot to choose from. Kings Island, The Beach Waterpark, Great Wolf Lodge Water Park offer the thrill of roller coasters and splash parks. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the historic Ft. Ancient, Caesars Creek State Park, both the Little Miami and Lebanon Trails. Those following pro sports can choose to watch professional tennis and volleyball tournaments, or catch the motor sports at the Lebanon Raceway. Oregonia is best known as the home of Ft. Ancient. Here the remains of prehistoric mounds built by the Hopewell Indians features 18,000 feet of earthen walls built 2,000 years ago. It's the largest prehistoric hilltop enclosure in the United States.

It's National Poetry Month! If you're new here, I post a poem a day during the month of April in celebration of poetry because I love it so very, very much. Here, then, is today's poem:
Like the sun,
Your smile has gone,
And like the sky,
My heart weeps.
Bitter tears fall like rain
As I mourn your loss.
But like the rain,
My tears will one day end.
Like the sun,
The memory of your smile
Will brighten my days
Until we meet again.

Research Question: How can public consultation and engagement events, help to inform the design of a Pocket Park on an underused and unloved High Street space?
Following the success of the Ebenezer Gate Pocket Park Project in Bedminster, UWE continued their on-going collaboration with Bedminster Town Team and Master of Architecture students. In 2016, the students started to develop proposals for an underused and unloved space at the junction of East Street and Church Road in Bedminster.
The aim was to enhance the public realm of East Street, to provide a usable and safe place for visitors and shoppers of the area that will encourage the use of the site and engagement with the surrounding shopping area. The site would become the link between the established pockets parks of Ebenezer Gate and Caraboo Square.
Through a series of public consultation and engagement events, the students started to gather ideas of what people would like to see on the site, and test initial ideas through the form of pop-up installations. Following consolidation of the consultation feedback, it was decided to form a pocket park with an emphasis on: seating; green space and play. The resulting design incorporated a timber bench, with a screen and planters to conceal the existing phone boxes behind and adding a green element to the street frontage. The design also features a maze and 'playground' game artwork to encourage play on the site.
The student project allowed the client to apply for grant funding based on a set of initial proposals, with options provided to further develop the Bedminster Pocket Park, at East Street. Following the conclusion of the student project, Bedminster Town Team were handed the project, taking it forward with the aim to make the scheme a reality and introduce another Pocket Park to Bedminster.
UWE Master of Architecture Students: Emily Clowes, Bethanie Hamblett, Charlie Ardren, Manuel Kämmerer, Hueyling Lee
Client: Bedminster Town Team
Collaborators: Town Centred (regeneration consultant)
Budget: £3,000

text: Help! After being a windows based computer user I am very very close to making the switch once and for all and buying an iMac G5 20" and am looking forward to it. I am planning on buying the computer off the Apple website using my student discount (especial now that you can get $179 off of an iPod) but just for kicks I have been looking on ebay and I have noticed that people are selling the iMac G5 20" Rev.A brand new for close to nothing ($1,000 to $1,200). I am just wondering if I should think about purchasing an iMac G5 Rev.A off ebay if it is brand new and being offered at the prices stated above? How much difference will I notice if I purchase Rev.A vs. the newest (Rev. B) version of the computer? I am planning on using my computer for everyday use such as surfing the internet, checking email, downloading music, storing photos, writting reports, watching movies, burning cds/dvds, and any other run of the mill task most people do in there day to day routine. Money is a little bit of an issue too so that is why I am asking. As always any and all feedback would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Paris in February
The idea for our trip to France began almost a year ago, when Rob asked me what I wanted for my 60th birthday. Half jokingly, I said I wanted to go to Paris for Christmas.
I forgot about it when we made plans last fall to visit London and Ireland for three weeks. We had an amazing time, and I will post more pieces in coming weeks about that trip. But it was while we were in Ireland that Rob suggested we do the Paris trip at Christmas after all.
We talked about it off and on, but then Rob sold his office building in Pasadena and decided to move to Santa Barbara full time at the end of December. "Let's go for Valentine's Day instead," he said.
That sounded good to me. But we didn't anticipate the complexities of moving not only his office but his construction workshop with all his tools, and his belongings and furniture from his apartment in Old Town. It took most of December and all of January to do it. We were still awash in boxes when the Paris trip loomed on Feb. 10. Also, while going to France in February seemed like a good idea tourist-wise (no crowds), the weather was iffy. More than one person said to us, "You're going to Paris in February? Are you crazy?"
Well, yes.
We packed raincoats and warm clothes and waterproof boots, and off we went.
While the trip was overshadowed by my sister's sudden death, we had fairly good weather throughout. Paris was sunny for the most part, although chilly. The one exception was the day we decided to visit the Eiffel Tower, when it was about 35 degrees and raining sleet. We climbed up to the second level and spent the rest of the time in the restaurant sipping wine and gazing out on the freezing crowds standing in line below.
The next day bloomed sunny and a relatively warm 52 degrees. We strolled along the Champs Elysees and window shopped as we took in the Grand Palais and the Arc de Triomphe. Along the way we stopped for chocolat chaud (more on that in a minute) and met an older couple from London. He was Syrian, a businessman who had lived in London for many years and who had gone to school in Paris during the 1950s. They were visiting for the Valentine's Day weekend.
He was talkative and friendly and it didn't take long for the conversation to turn to politics—Donald Trump specifically (ugh!)—and President Obama, whom he said had been very weak on foreign affairs, especially with regard to the Syrian conflict and the refugee crisis. It was an interesting and different perspective, at least for me. Rob and I have diametrically opposed political views (makes for some very interesting discussions at our house), and on that point I think Rob agreed with our newfound friend.
Now, as to chocolat chaud (hot chocolate): my poet friend and AROHO sister Lisa Rizzo is no stranger to Paris, and she had given me lots of suggestions of things to see and places to visit. One of those was a link to an article about which places had the best chocolat chaud in Paris. Over five days, we tried three different places (not all of them were on the list Lisa sent). But here's what I discovered: It is beyond delicious. They serve it to you in two little pitchers, one with the thickest, creamiest, richest hot chocolate you can imagine, and one containing warm, delectable cream. You mix the two to your own liking, and if you're really a lush for sweetness, you can add sugar. I fell in love. If you're adventurous, you can add different flavorings as well. But I liked mine straight. There's hardly any way you can improve upon good chocolate, I think. I can't wait to try to re-create it at home.
Rob has been to Paris several times, but this was my first trip, just as going to London and Ireland last fall was my first time in Europe. I have always wanted to travel, and had been to parts of Canada and Mexico, and I got to spend a month in Costa Rica several years ago. But other than that, I am a neophyte.
After five days in Paris, we took the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse, "high-speed train") to Ax-en-Provence in the south, then rented a car and headed for the Riviera.
(Next, the tiny coastal town of Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat…)

Some of the activities planned:
• The best player (hockey workshops, etc.)
• The best food and the best Cheese (Saturday evening party)
• The best « national » team (5 a side mini tournament)
• The best « European » team (5 a side mini tournament with mixed teams with players from different countries)
• The best show (5mn special show to tell about your country on Sunday evening)
• The best U16 umpire (umpiring and behaviour during the festival)
• The most helpful country
The aim of the festival is to work on a five a side game concept on a 20 x 40 m field within a festival for U12 kids.
