This activity introduces students to the basic concepts of light, followed by several simulations that model the interactions of light with matter. Students investigate the wave nature of photons, view models of light/matter interactions, and explore how light energy is converted into heat energy. They may also create their own model photon beam and generate an absorption spectrum.
This item is part of the Concord Consortium, a nonprofit research and development organization dedicated to transforming education through technology.

Editor's Note: New NextGen Science Standards expand the content requirements within the topics of wave energy and electromagnetic radiation. This scaffolded resource lets learners manipulate light intensity and frequency of light to see the effects on the heating of matter. With this basic understanding, they move to the wavelike properties of photons to explore 3 ways photons interact with matter: 1) No interaction, 2) Absorption, 3) Emission. It is appropriate for introductory high school physics.

Topic: Nature and Behavior of Light
Unit Title: The Wave Nature of Light
Students often think of "light" only as that which the human eye can perceive. This excellent resource introduces students to the entire electromagnetic spectrum (which, of course, includes visible light.) Students view models of photon emission/absorption, create a model photon beam, and interactively explore how light intensity is related to the frequency of light.Link to Unit:

Nancy: The Only Bush that Ought to be President
by exercisebeforeknitting
All politics aside, isn't Nancy Bush the greatest?? I started the Child's First Sock from Vintage Socks this week using some Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport yarn in Boldly Red. I suspect that these socks will take a bit longer to knit because I stop to admire how the pattern is coming out every few rows!
The richness of this yarn was difficult for me to capture. Perhaps I'll get The Photographer to take the FO photos!
Remember the Nancy Bush inspired socks? They might as well be called Elinor Can't Read socks but nonetheless, I like how they turned out.
Pattern: mis-read Gentleman's Sock in Railway Stitch from Nancy Bush's Vintage Socks
Yarn: Knit Picks Swish
Needle: US 2
I have finally finished a pair of socks for Aaron! I'm ashamed to admit that there are two other pairs of socks intended for him in the UFO pile. He was beginning to believe he'd never get a pair, I think!
Next, some stash expansion! First, J. Knits superwash sock yarn in 'Newburyport'. I admit that I bought this yarn almost entirely because I used to live outside of Newburyport and I liked that the color was plum, as in nearby Plum Island! It was a total impulse buy, I admit it.
Next, some Koigu solid sock yarn that I bought yesterday on a quick trip to Kansas City. We were on the Country Club Plaza and when I pointed out that The Studio was only up the street, no one objected too loudly so I convinced them to let me pop in.
Given recent stash expansions, I have decided to go on a yarn diet. My last yarn diet lasted 14 months. I have incredible willpower. I need to jump back on the wagon because my stash is getting too big for my taste! I need to go track down one of those tacky tickers announcing how many days that it's been since I bought yarn!!!
I'll leave you with some really cool baby knitting: Saartje's mom. Go check it out. I need to make a sweater just like that! I'd have to reconstruct the pattern but it doesn't look too bad.

August 07, 2014
By Kenneth D. Miller
Assistant Managing Editor
Stellar Community Advocate and political pillar Brenda Marsh Mitchell spent her final days volunteering tirelessly for The George McKenna Campaign for Los Angeles School Board District 1 Seat.
As Ms. Brenda, as she had been affectionately called, was being prepared for her final resting place after succumbing to cardiac arrest during the early morning hours of Aug. 3, McKenna's campaign staff was struggling to go on without her.
An ally of the late Dr. Marguerite LaMotte for whom the seat McKenna is vying, Ms. Brenda would have loved nothing more than to see McKenna become victorious on Tuesday August 12.
Thus as the special election draws near, Ms. Brenda's home going ceremony will be held on Aug. 8 during the week McKenna's campaign picked up another key endorsement.
Touting the enormous confidence they have in Los Angeles Unified School Board District 1 Seat candidate George McKenna, the Los Angeles School Police Association joined the growing list of prominent organizations to endorse McKenna for the August 12 Special Election.
"We have confidence in [George McKenna's] demonstrated ability to protect children in all school environments. As a principal and administrator he always put child safety first, including putting his own life on the line to protect the students under his care at gang-infested Washington Prep High School. Parents will rest well at night with George McKenna on the school board," said Max Gonzalez, President, and Los Angeles School Police Association.
The McKenna campaign has picked up some big endorsements recently, but few make their campaign more proud than the expression of confidence by the men and women of the Los Angeles School Police.
A Prayer for Brenda Marsh Mitchell
The McKenna volunteer campaign staff began their work on Monday Aug. 4 with heavy hearts, now they would not have one of their most ardent supporters Brenda Marsh Mitchell.
The Rev. Jewett Walker, McKenna Campaign Director, opened the evening with a prayer for Marsh-Mitchell, thanking her and offering condolences to her family and friends.
Respected Journalists Continue to Expose Our Opponent's Lies
For the third time in the past 10 days, the LA Times called out opponent Alex Johnson for their shameful campaign of lies and smears. The Times, education reporter Howard Blume exposes several of their misrepresentations, including these two about George's service as a state-appointed administrator at Compton Unified:
"A Johnson flier blames McKenna for inflating graduation rates in Compton, among other things. McKenna's actual role was to correct inflated rates, said former state administrator Randolph Ward, who now heads the San Diego County Office of Education. The mailer also says 'McKenna was sued by parents for ordering teachers to falsify their students' grades.' That characterization also is misleading, Ward said. At the time, the district was trying to end grade inflation and to halt the practice of moving students to the next grade level even if they lacked necessary academic skills."
The McKenna team held fundraisers throughout the week, finalizing their plans to get voters to the polls on Election Day Tuesday Aug. 12.
"I'm not running to win a contest, I'm simply extending my service to children and the community by seeking a position on the school board where I can more effectively serve as a policymaker. The system demands that I run for this office and I am committed with every fiber of my being to win this campaign," McKenna said.

Colorado Wildfires Burn Hundreds of Homes, Displace Thousands
A wildfire raging in northern Colorado for two weeks with hot, dry and windy conditions burned dozens of more homes on Sunday, raising the toll to 248, while new fires displaced over 11,000 residents and numerous tourists in the state.
The toll from the so-called High Park Fire was raised as residents of a subdivision near Fort Collins learned on Sunday that 57 more homes in their neighborhood had been lost, The Associated Press reported.
The High Park Fire, which began June 9, has scorched more than 130 square miles and was just 45 percent contained on Sunday, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
Situated several miles west of Colorado Springs, the Waldo Canyon fire displaced about 11,000 people from their homes Sunday, The Denver Post reported. Officials described the fire, which spread in three directions, as "very aggressive."
About 5,000 of those who had to evacuate were allowed to return to their homes in Manitou Springs beginning Sunday morning. However, mandatory evacuations remained in place for Cascade, Green Mountain Falls and Chipita Park.
It charred at least 2,500 acres and forced evacuations of about 4,000 homes in El Paso County.
Also, a brushfire that began Sunday near Elbert, about 50 miles southwest of Denver, spread fast to about 60 acres, forcing about 100 residents to evacuate, AP reported.
Another fire destroyed structures near the mountain community of Estes Park, where many tourists stay while visiting Rocky Mountain National Park, on Saturday. According to the Larimer County Sheriff's Office, 22 homes and two outbuildings had been burned.
While the High Park Fire is the second-largest wildfire and among the most expensive in the history of Colorado, the state is having its worst wildfire season in a decade with a total of eight fires burning.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said half the nation's firefighting fleet was battling fires in the state, and added that C-130 military transport planes from Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs would begin assisting on Monday. "People recognize this is going to take a big push," he was quoted as saying.

City Council Adopts Parking Minimums for Some New Apartments Along Commercial Corridors and Frequent Transit Service Areas
April 10, 2013
Eden Dabbs
Bureau of Planning and Sustainability
Dana Haynes
Office of the Mayor
PORTLAND,Ore.— Today, the Portland City Council voted to adopt Zoning Code amendments for parking minimums that will apply to some future apartment buildings, depending on their location and size. The new code will go into effect in 30 days. Projects that have already received a building permit or that have submitted a complete permit application will not be affected.
The vote today followed a five-and-a-half-hour public hearing on April 4 before the City Council, at which dozens of people testified for and against the parking minimums. The amendments proposed by Commissioners Nick Fish and Amanda Fritz were included in the adopted code.
Mayor Charlie Hales said the vision of urban planning remains, but must be modified from time to time to address the changing reality.
"We had a vision for main streets and we still do," Hales said. "This doesn't mean we're moving away from our vision; it just means we're adjusting. And you know what? We likely will have to do this again in the future."
Read the adopted New Apartments and Parking Zoning Code Amendments
Portland's first Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 1980, includes goals and policies to "... regulate off-street parking to promote good urban form and the vitality of commercial and employment areas."
In the early '90s, City officials rewrote the Zoning Code and included three new commercial zones to promote main street storefront character with mixed use/residential development.
Today, historically low vacancy rates, especially in inner Portland, have resulted in a boom of apartment construction, many without onsite parking. In response to community concerns about potential parking impacts, the City Council directed the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability to develop Zoning Code amendments that require some parking for larger multi-unit buildings.

(Pocket-lint) - The Olympus OM-D, the digital remastering of a classic SLR camera, has now been announced by Olympus following weeks of leaks and rumours. So now the Olympus OM-D, or E-M5 as it is marked, is official, let's run down what you get.
Adopting the Micro Four Thirds system, the OM element of this new camera appears to be mostly about positioning and external styling. To use OM lenses from the original 35mm SLR cameras, you'd need an MF-2 OM Adapter ring (£160).
However, it is compatible with Olympus's existing MFT selection, and will come with the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-50mm lens (24-100mm in 35mm terms) as a kit. You'll also get a weather-proofed body, so it's less prone to damage from brief dust or damp exposure.
However, there are a number of modern headline features of the new Olympus OM-D E-M5 camera, including five-axis stabilisation and lightning-fast autofocus, to help you get sharp 16-megapixel images out of the Live MOS sensor.
Of more interest, however, might be the integrated electronic viewfinder. The lack of a viewfinder, or having to use an external accessory, has been a criticism of compact system cameras since their inception. Some Panasonic Lumix models, Sony's NEX-7 and more recently the Fujifilm X-Pro1 have all addressed the viewfinder issue in various ways.
The OM-D features a 1440k-dot electronic viewfinder. It's beautifully integrated in retro fashion into the top of the camera. We've used Olympus's accessory viewfinders in the past and the quality is very good on those, so we have high expectations of it here too.
Interesting accessories include a battery grip, which sort of defies the original raison d'être of a compact system camera. But, with some just wanting a retro-style camera, with familiar and sophisticated digital performance, the Olympus OM-D might be just the ticket.
As such you'll get ISO up to 25600, a wide selection of creative Art Filters, Full HD video capture, and a 3-inch vari-angle touchscreen OLED display, making this retro wonder quite the modern superstar.
But as retro as it looks and sophisticated as it sounds, at £1149.99 it costs as much as a mid-range DSLR, which might be a stumbling block for some.
The Olympus OM-D will be available in April 2012, as we've already seen it, so be sure to check-out our photos of it in the flesh.

It's rare on a weekday that I have lunch with my sis. We had taken leave because we had an appointment with Chef Julien Royer later in the afternoon to discuss what to prepare for the Bosch Dream Kitchen Contest we were participating in. Chef Julien was our mentor chef.
You can do an online search and read about Chef Julien. I shall not repeat them here. I am not being bias if I say that he and his team is really good!
We decided that before we met the Chef in person, we would like to taste his food without him knowing. We thought of booking but decided not too just in case his team found out. We just walked in to try our luck if there's a table for us at 12:30PM.
Later at the appointment, he told us we should have let him know so he can serve us some extra dishes other than what we have ordered. We thought it would be good that we come ourselves, pay for the food ourselves so that when I decided to post this up, it's more authentic.
I think the set lunch at Jaan might be the best value around.
It's $58++ for a 3 course meal with coffee.
What you get is more than a 3 course meal.
You get pre-meal snacks + 3 course meal + petit fours + coffee/tea + a superb view!
Service was outstanding too. As usual, when we dine, we pretend to be total noobs, asking a few questions now and then and see how the service staff answer them. Throughout the meal, we were served by 4 persons and 3 of them were outstanding.
There was one day that we had another appointment with the Chef and sis was there early and got to the dining area and she saw there were all ironing the table cloth. Wow… is that why the table cloth was so nice without crease etc. Now you know, if you dine there, feel how nice and impeccable everything is there!
As soon as we place your order, we were served pre-meal snacks.
The balls were potato croquet. Nice and warm, it's also starts to awaken your appetite. The thin brown piece in the middle is actually crackling chicken skin! Have a bite of it and you wish all chicken skin were made like this! What's on the wooden stick were smoked eel squares.
Sis and I were discussing our food, after all we were suppose to plan our menus with the Chef. We realised how clever of them to have different textures. Served to a panel of say 3 different judges, whether they like things crispy or soft, savoury, umami, it's all there!
We also had thin crispy rye 'bread' served with 'My Hummus'.
I am not usually a fan of lentils, but this was delicious. Sis and I enjoyed it. The lentils were whole yet it was really soft and sweet. Not the usual lentils we have with our favourite local Indian food for sure.
The card writes: "My personal interpretation using lentils from Saint-Flour, Auvergne and Chestnut Paste".
Yes, we noticed textures again. Thin crispy bread with soft lentils and chestnut paste.
The amuse bouche was Cepes Sabayon and Mushroom Tea.
It's served with a double glazed cup that had dried porcini mushrooms from Chaspuzac (near where the lentils come from too). The server will then come with a pot of 'tea', tea in the form of mushroom soup that had fresh porcini mushrooms. You should try this! So rich, so creamy, so fragrant with bites of soft and crispy mushroom bits.
Yes, we noticed different textures again! Crispy mushrooms and soft ones and the presentation was a mini show! No wonder we have been enjoying our meal.
How nicely the butter has been shaped, presented in a glass inside a stone.
Yes we did ask, French butter.
The bread on the right, you got to try it. The Truffle rolls. It's so fragrant and the soft, it's worth asking for seconds or even thirds!
This might be funny, sis was saying, please don't instagram your food for this meal. The other 3 teams will know what we are eating! Shoosh will you? she said. Can I just instagram this truffle roll without mentioning where it is? I pleaded. Seems that so many instagrammers know exactly where we were within a few minutes of posting! Oops…
55′ Rosemary Smoked Organic Egg
For my starter, sis had the 55 minutes rosemary smoked organic egg that has been cooked at I think was 63 degrees Celcius.
Oh, the mini theatre show when the egg was presented. Rosemary burnt and the fragrant smoke fills the air. The egg was then poured into a double walled serving glass. Doesn't the above already look so beautiful?
The egg cooked at the temperature turns the egg white from transparent like feel into something translucent and soft. The egg yolk at that temperate does not hardens but turns slightly custard like. It was poured into the bowl that had smoked rattes, autumn mushrooms, chorizo iberico and buckwheat.
Why is this dish so worth it? The egg would have taken you about an hour to cook. The smoked rattes potato mash would have taken more time. The potato was not boiled in plain water, it's in some stock. Shhhh. I wonder if that's suppose to be a secret, but I learnt that from Chef Julien. The potato is then smoked with rosemary. How tedious it is to prepare the potatoes! The saltiness from the chorizo and crispiness from the deep fried buckwheat and aroma from the mushrooms. The combination was just absolutely lovely.
I had the Bresse Chicken, Confit Oxtail, and Foie Gras 'Presse'.
Yes, it's the Bresse Chicken from France. Do an online search and you can find how much the chicken costs in Singapore, it's the same chicken that "Team D" used in the Bosch Dream Kitchen finale!
Try the flavours of the chicken, oxtail and foie gras combined. It was served with maple and beetroot reduction. Some sweetness and crunchy bits with bits of the 3 meats combined was a nice little flavour explosion in your mouth.
Oh yes, it comes served with a small piece of toasted poilane.
Must be very precious!
The same bread that sis laughed at me when we lugged it from Paris last time.
"Loti only leh" she said. LOL!
For mains, sis had the 36 Hours Kurobuta Pork. (For this there's a supplement of $15 in the menu)
Oh my, the most tender pork you can have. There's a layer of fat on it, but it's marbling that makes kurobuta so delicious. It was drizzled with 'autumn broth'. I wonder how many hours it took for the reduction, but it was so heart warming and makes you wonder what autumn vegetables and produce were used to make this broth.
The menu says served with 'forgotten vegetables'.
When the server served the food and described the dish, you are bound to ask what's forgotten vegetables'. It's vegetables that has always been around for the longest time, always flavourful and gives nice textures to food but has been forgotten by many who served more exotic vegetables.
For my mains, I had the Wild Caught Atlantic Mackerel.
You can see that the menu had all ingredients that are 'artisanal'.
Sis and I were analyzing the chef and his team plating techniques. The few dishes above, we realised everything has a 3 dimension look to it. At any angle, the food is pleasing to the eyes, even before we eat it!
Truth be told, I can't taste the difference between a wild caught mackerel and farmed mackerel. Maybe I should ask around or taste more of it to learn more.
I just know it was very nice! It was served with pickled shallot, deep fried crispy baby squid, sweet corn puree and jus 'dolce forte'. Yup, dolce forte – chocolate sauce!
For desserts, I had the Caramelized William Pear.
I chose this because I wanted to see how the pear will be like. It came served in such a beautiful plate, I wanted to ask where they got it from! (Of course I didn't). The pear was nicely caramelized with a nougatine placed over it and topped with the top part of the pear and a scoop of ice cream.
The plate was drizzled with salted caramel and dark rum jelly.
A very nice sweet end to our meal.
Sis had the 'Latte Poivre'.
Very unique indeed. Coffee chantilly with milk foam and java pepper ice cream.
It's sweet, has the nice coffee flavour and a peppery taste to it as well.
Chocolate coated almond nibs and fruit jellies. Reminds me of the fruit jellies we used to eat as kids and haven't had it for the longest time! Of course these were nicer version of it.
Oh yes, the nice view that comes with lunch!
It only if was not so cloudy, the view would have been better!
We really enjoyed our meal and sis and I really took our time analyzing dishes that we haven't done before. Even the arrangement of veggies we took note. We have been flipping lots of food magazines too. Getting a bit too competitive it seems!
We paid $164.02 for our meal, we ordered a few drinks that cost a bit. We realised DBS did have a discount if you used their credit cards though. December and January are months that many get bonus. It's a nice treat to yourself and family/husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend.

C/ Niño Ricardo,5 (antigua Almudena), 41003
If you are reading this it means that you are, either in our house, or you are planning to visit us. In any case I think you should know who HE was. Trying to understand a character like him (I think) should be done by parts (stage by stage). Manuel Serrapi Sánchez, was born June 11th of 1904, on Argüelles Street, next to Plaza de San Pedro, in the city centre of Sevilla very close to what years later became his house (Almudena, 5). Perhaps this is the most unknown and eclipsed part of an artist's life although for the artist it's an essential part. He made the most out of his life, and we don't mean this in a bad way or as a criticism, he was in love with life, he enjoyed it and everything that life gave him such as bullfighting, wine, women and flamenco. Almudena 5: "Two story house with coat of arms over the lintel (threshold)" To this short description we can add that we find ourselves in front of a building with two clear stages: The first stage (Main and First), belong to the late XIX, and the structure still uses wood. The second stage (Second and Roof) were built in 1919 when the house belonged already to Niño Ricardo. The verbal tradition tells us that this house and its twin (Nº 3) were built by a noble as a gift to the two sons he had out of wedlock, because in Andalucia people gossip a lot. In the year 2000 the remodelling and the change to its actual purpose began, although to tell the truth we didn't need to change the structure because as an old neighbourhood patio-house it adapted perfectly to the new needs. The main idea during the 12 months of renovations was that of maintaining the idiosyncrasy of the construction of those times, without loosing a bit of the spirit of the original house. The Façade has been remodelled without "breaking" the original style. The Colours are yellow (albero) and earth red. The balconies are covered with geraniums, typical of this city. To the right of the main entrance wooden door there is

Groupon Acquires Breadcrumb to Make Redeeming Deals on the iPad Easier
Groupon has acquired Breadcrumb, a small company that was building a point-of-sale solution for the iPad.
Groupon said that Breadcrumb's team, including founder and CEO Seth Harris, will be joining the company and that Breadcrumb will soon be offering its product to Groupon's existing merchant partners.
In a blog post, Mihir Shah, Groupon's VP of mobile, said that Harris's experience includes 12 years in hospitality management, making him "uniquely empathetic to the tight budgets and unique needs of business owners in the food and beverage industry who often struggle to find technology products that will work perfectly for them."
This is more than an "acqhire" because Breadcrumb will continue to serve new and existing clients. Also, Groupon said merchants using Breadcrumb will be able to significantly improve the process of redeeming a Groupon.
UPDATE: According to sources, Groupon paid between $10 and $15 million for the company, not including retention bonuses. A Groupon spokeswoman did not reply immediately to an email seeking confirmation.
According to LinkedIn, Breadcrumb was founded in 2011 and had fewer than 10 employees.
Groupon has been on a technology acquisition rampage recently, adding to its portfolio of services that can help local merchants compete more effectively online. Many iPad point-of-sale solutions already exist so, in a way, Groupon is playing a little catch-up with this one.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can carry serious health risks, but a new study adds to evidence that menopausal women who use the hormones may have lower odds of developing colon cancer.
The study, which followed nearly 57,000 California teachers, found that women who were using HRT at the outset were 36 percent less likely to develop colon cancer over the next decade than those who had never used HRT.
Of the 34,433 HRT users, 193 were diagnosed with colon cancer during the study period; that compared with 151 cases among the 13,778 women who had never used hormone replacement.
HRT — with either estrogen alone or a combination of estrogen and progestin — was linked to a lower colon cancer risk even when the researchers accounted for the women's age, weight, exercise levels and race.
Older age and African-American race are risk factors for colon cancer, and there is evidence linking obesity and a sedentary lifestyle to the disease as well.
The findings, reported in the American Journal of Epidemiology, support the theory that estrogen offers some protection against colon cancer.
Some past studies have linked not only HRT, but also use of birth control pills, to a lower colon cancer risk. And lab experiments have shown that estrogen may inhibit tumor development in the colon by affecting cell growth, or by lowering levels of a cancer-linked hormone called IGF-1.
However, no one is recommending that women take HRT to ward off colon cancer. Millions of women stopped using the hormones after a large U.S. government study in 2002 found that postmenopausal women given HRT had higher risks of heart attack, stroke, breast cancer and blood clots than women given an inactive placebo.
As a result, experts now advise that while HRT is effective at relieving menopausal symptoms — like hot flashes and vaginal dryness — women should take it at the lowest dose and for the shortest time possible.
These latest findings do not alter that advice. But they point to a need for further study into the different effects of HRT on specific organs, write the researchers, led by Dr. Katherine DeLellis Henderson of the City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte, California.
The findings are based on 56,864 menopausal women who took part in the California Teachers Study, a health study begun in 1995. Most of the women were past menopause at the outset, and 61 percent were currently using HRT.
Over the next decade, 442 women were diagnosed with colon cancer.
While women who were current HRT users at the start of the study showed a lower risk of the disease, the same was not true of those who were former users.
Henderson's team also found that the beneficial effect of HRT was stronger among women who had had a first-degree relative diagnosed with colon cancer. Among these women, HRT use was linked to a 55 percent lower risk of the disease versus non-use.
The implications of that finding, if any, are not yet clear.
Family history of colon cancer is an established risk factor for the disease, but only one study, according to Henderson's team, has looked at whether family history affects the link between HRT and colon cancer risk — and it found no evidence that it did.

Routine to release on Steam during spring 2013, says Lunar Software
Routine is a survival horror game with an equally loved and dreaded permadeath system, which will be released on Steam next spring.
According to its Steam Greenlight page, the UDK game is an open-world title set on a moon base. It contains no health perks, HUD, and depending on player choices – multiple endings.
Routine is in development from Aaron Foster, who teaches 3D modeling and creative thinking at University of Central Lancashire.
Foster told EGDE he wanted to create a game based on his love of science fiction and one where players won't be "pressing the right buttons to trigger cutscenes."
He also said adding the permadeath element was a "good starting point for putting pressure on the player," as the possibility of permanent death "will make them sit back and question what they do."
You can learn more about the game through its Greenlight page and the interview on EDGE.
Routine is slated for release in either March or April 2013.
Thanks, Polygon.

Terps and Spartans to be Featured in Primetime
Maryland and defending Rose Bowl champion Michigan State to be highlighted on BTN
ROSEMONT, Ill. – Maryland football's November 15 home date against defending Rose Bowl champion Michigan State is set for a8 p.m. kickoff and will be carried live on the Big Ten Network, the conference announced Tuesday.
For the Terps, it is the first scheduled televised primetime game since Maryland took on Notre Dame at FedEx Field on Nov. 12, 2011, and its first home contest to be featured in primetime since facing Clemson on Oct. 15, 2011.
Maryland and Michigan State will be meeting for the first time since 1950 when the Terps walked away from East Lansing with a 34-7 victory. The Spartans will be making only their second trip to College Park all-time. Michigan State earned an 8-0 win over the Terps in 1944 in Maryland's only home game against the Spartans. Michigan State leads the all-time series 4-1.
Last season, the Spartans finished 13-1 en route to the Big Ten championship and a berth in the Rose Bowl where they defeated Stanford, 24-20.
Times and television information for the remainder of the Terps' 2014 schedule will be announced at a later date.

- Fantasy World has been in Stafford%2C N.J.%2C for more than 30 years
- Local pastor%2C business partner had contract to purchase store for %24275%2C000
- They planned to convert it into Christian-themed community center
STAFFORD, N.J. — One thing is for certain, the desire of some local residents to convert a porn shop into a church was no doubt the most wholesome fantasy ever imagined at the adult book store in town.
In the end, the vision to convert the Fantasy World Adult Book Store into a nondenominational, Christian-themed community center ran into the same issue that befalls most tentative real estate transactions: economics.
"We were extremely close to securing the financing," said the Rev. Patrick J. Sharkey, an assistant pastor with the Church of Grace and Peace in Toms River. "We had a number of potential investors, but it did not quite work out. In the process, we realized that many people who wanted to help, such as contractors who were extremely interested in helping, were hurt greatly by the great storm (Superstorm Sandy). Therefore, we realized that this was not going to work out."
Last spring, Sharkey, 51, and his business partner, real estate developer Don Finelli, 65, both of Stafford, entered into a contract to buy Fantasy World for $275,000 in the hope that enough people who shared their values would contribute to the cause. The idea was to combine good old-fashioned American capitalism with faith to shut down what both men regard was a longtime blight on this community.
For more than 30 years, the adult bookstore has been something of a landmark for motorists on the way to Long Beach Island. At just 2,400 square feet, it sits alone in forested wetlands, devoid of any immediate neighbors within 100 feet. The dated, flat-roofed, free-standing building is also distinctive in that it lacks any visible windows and has about a 6-foot-high fence protecting its parking lot from public view.
Fantasy World remains on the market at a downgraded price of $225,000. Efforts to reach the owners, Frank and Gayle Clementi of Stafford, have been unsuccessful.
Township Councilman Henry Mancini, who himself operates a real estate valuation and consulting firm but is not involved in the sale, said the township was receptive to the proposed change in use.
"Our point-of-view, certainly, is that it was a more favorable, less controversial use at the time, and the township was certainly open-minded and welcoming of the change in use there," he said.

Game of My Life Green Bay Packers
Beschreibung von Audible
In 1967, the Green Bay Packers won the National Football League championship in windy, subzero conditions in a game that has come to be known as "The Ice Bowl". On December 22, 2003, one day after his father passed away, the great Brett Favre threw for 399 yards and routed the Oakland Raiders.
Perhaps no other football team has had as many riveting games as the Green Bay Packers. Now, sportswriter and super fan Chuck Carlson asks the players to recount their favorites. Capably performed by Gary Littman, Game of My Life teems with stories from Packer greats Jim Taylor, Chester Marcol, Favre, and many more.
Green Bay Packers legends recall their greatest moments - newly updated!
In this newly revised edition of Chuck Carlson's Game of My Life Green Bay Packers, the greatest men to don that green and yellow uniform talk about the best, the most important, and the most entertaining game they ever played. Was it during the immortal "Ice Bowl" of 1967, when Bart Starr snuck across the goal line in the withering cold of Lambeau Field to beat the Dallas Cowboys? Or was it the NFC championship win over the Carolina Panthers in 1997 that sent the Packers back to the Super Bowl for the first time in 30 years? Maybe it was that mind-bending 48–47 Monday night win over the Washington Redskins in 1983, or perhaps it was one of Green Bay's four Super Bowl championship victories.
For a franchise with such a long and lyrical history as the Packers, there were thousands of opportunities to play a game that really mattered. Now over 20 of the greatest Packers men open up about that singular moment when it all came together. With contributions from such Packers legends as Brett Favre, Jim Taylor, Chester Marcol, and more, Game of My Life Green Bay Packers is a must-have for any Wisconsin fan.

Recall: Summer Infant Baby Monitors Have Been Linked To Deaths Of Two Babies — Keep Your Child Safe!
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled nearly 2 million of the monitors, saying the electrical cords can be dangerous to your baby. Do you have one?
Another baby product has been deemed unsafe. Two million Summer Infant video baby monitors were recalled after they were linked to the strangulation deaths of two infants. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the electrical cords on these products can be dangerous when left to close to a baby's crib. Learn how to keep your child safe!
Are babies safe in their own cribs?
Since 2004, seven children have strangled on cords placed too close to their cribs. According to the commission, a 10-month-old girl from Washington, D.C. died in March when she got tangled in the cord of a monitor placed on the top rail of her crib. In November, a 6-month-old boy from Conway, S.C. was strangled on an electrical cord of a monitor on the changing table attached to his crib. In Pittsburgh, a 20-month-old boy came close to dying after he was caught in a camera cord that was mounted on the wall.
Four infants die in Graco strollers
"I urge all parents and caregivers to put at least three feet between any video or audio baby monitor cords and a child in a crib," Commission Chairman Inez Tenenbaum advises. "This simple step can save your child's life." More than 1.5 million of these monitors, representing more than 40 different models, have been recalled by Summer Infant. The company also will provide new warning labels and instructions about monitor placement on each item. The monitors were sold between 2003 and 2011 by retailers nationwide.
For more information on model numbers of recalled monitors, contact Summer Infant at 800-426-8627.

"I hope you do the food service in heaven."The Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin
"What a wonderful dinner we had tonight for our international families. The food was delicious and well presented as well."Jennifer Taylor
"With all the prep work from Winterim ramping up and classes continuing as usual, it's a busy time to be a Forman teacher. Imagine my delight, tired as I was, when I delved into the upscale-restaurant-quality chicken parmesan our dining hall served last night. Forman is all about support, and providing our students with a dinner of that quality is just as important a measure of support as anything that happens in a classroom."William Bucklin
"What a night! You and your team rocked it and made us look like stars. Great working with you and know we will have more chances to work together on future events."Carol Maxwell
"The CulinArt team has been great to work with and has been super flexible. Having worked with other dining services at different institutions, having a dining team that is open to menu changes has been a great resource for our events. "Tuyen Nguyen
"What a difference a top chef makes to student satisfaction and enjoyment of campus life! At a recent boarding school conference, food was mentioned as a key retention method and it is really true. The comforts of home are found in good food and meals enjoyed with friends. We couldn't be more pleased with the healthy and delicious daily options presented by our chef and his team. Frank even has a suggestion box, so he is always open to new ideas and he even offers cooking classes for our students!"Candace Heidenrich
"The dinner I had tonight at Forman was not only the best meal I have had at Forman in the entire time I have been here, it was the best meal I can remember having anywhere in a long time. [It] was a restaurant quality meal, and it added to the enjoyment that the two young ladies serving me could not have been more charming. What an energizing way to finish a weekend eating a dinner like that."Bill Bucklin
"Just want to take a moment to thank you for running such a great kitchen. It's been a huge benefit to have such a delicious and various assortment of foods to choose from, all without having to leave the building. I'm always amazed at the daily variety and the quality of food that is offered. The cafeteria has made my food choices as easy as can be."Juan Arreola
"Yesterday I ordered the special (Bloody Mary Burger) which was one of the best burgers I've ever tasted, [but] this e-mail is not to praise the burger. Eating the burger reminded me of the great service, professionalism, the smiles, the knowledge and the great food that I have come to love each and every day. Your team, who really work as a team, take their time to explain nutrition and meal ideas, and encourage healthy eating. I wouldn't change one thing about this crew. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for their hard work each and every day."Andrew Benns
"Thank you and your staff for all the care and thought you give CSW adults and students. You approach events with such care and elegance- I don't know how you do it! Especially day after day.

Oil prices fell below $107 a barrel Thursday in Asia after weak manufacturing data suggested China's economy, and demand for crude, could grow less than expected this year.
Benchmark oil for May delivery was down 55 cents to $106.72 at late afternoon Singapore time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $1.20 to settle at $107.27 per barrel in New York on Wednesday.
Brent crude for May delivery was down 63 cents at $123.57 per barrel in London.
Chinese industrial production fell to a four-month low in March, according to HSBC's preliminary manufacturing index released Thursday. China is the world's second biggest consumer of oil behind the U.S.
"Weakening domestic demand continued to weigh on growth," HSBC said in a report. "China's slow down has yet to finish."
Crude has hovered between $105 and $110 for the last month, up from $75 in October, amid the possibility that a military strike by Israel or the U.S. on Iran's nuclear facilities could disrupt global supplies.
The jump in oil prices in recent months has increased the price of gasoline and other crude products and raised fears in Asia that inflation could quicken. Inflation concerns have kept policymakers from implementing aggressive stimulus measures despite signs of slowing economic growth, said Irvin Seah, an economist with DBS bank in Singapore.
"Oil prices will hit everyone, which is why despite the downside risks to growth, Asian central banks have been standing back rather than cutting interest rates," Seah said.
In other energy trading, heating oil was down 0.1 cent at $3.23 per gallon and gasoline futures slid 0.5 cent at $3.34 per gallon. Natural gas fell 2.1 cents at $2.34 per 1,000 cubic feet.

In Response To: Re: HUGHES descendants - Monticello ()
Bett or Betty Brown Hemings son Edwin Jefferson is the father of Nelson Jefferson who settled in Coffeeville, Ms. My Uncle Raymond Jefferson is a descendant of this family. I am related to uncle but also related to the families that the Jeffersons married into in Coffeeville. We only have a population of around 900, including whites (the minority), and so most of us are related. I am curious to whether any of the other sons of Bett sent their sons or daughters to Coffeeville with different surnames. My mother's family are Browns. I would like to meet Ms. Hughes.

La Jolla, CA – To ignite a life-threatening infection in the body, a virus such as HIV invades body cells by first merging, or fusing, with the cell's outer membrane. Once inside the cell, the invading microbe's genetic material takes over, turning the 'host' cell into a factory to produce more copies of the virus, which then spill out to invade other cells in the body.
Scientists had assumed that once a virus begins fusing with a cell's membrane, infection of the host cell was inevitable. Thus, antiviral drug development has largely focused on preventing events that happen either before or after this step.
However, a multi-institutional team of researchers is reporting that it has detected an intermediate stage between the virus' merger with the cell membrane and the microbe's delivery of its genetic contents into the cell, when the fate of the host cell still hangs in the balance.
This intermediate stage, which can last several minutes, may represent a window of opportunity for drug development. The remarkable findings, captured on video, were published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences online on June 3.
Biophysicist Gregory Melikyan of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago and microbiologist John Young of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies filmed individual viruses fusing with a host cell membrane. Avian sarcoma and leukosis virus (ASLV), a virus that is in the same class as HIV, was used in the study.
The researchers discovered that once the virus fuses with the host cell membrane the hole, or pore, through which the virus unloads its deadly genetic cargo into the host cell does not open up right away; instead, a small pore can persist for several minutes before adopting its final size, or (in rare cases) closing permanently.
This 'intermediate stage,' as the scientists describe this time interval, was not known to exist for virus-cell fusion events. The net effect is that the invading virus is held up for a significant amount of time and, in the rare cases in which the pore does not open, it fails to infect the cell at all.
"It's like a space craft docking on a space station," said Young. "If you try to open the inner door before the pressures have equalized, you can tease it open a little bit but it keeps closing on you until there's enough pressure in the airlock to allow it to open all the way."
Melikyan explained, "The pore is an unstable structure at that moment: some pores will open and some won't. It's a crucial point in viral entry because it's critical for the pore to enlarge sufficiently for the genetic material to pass into the host cell."
The researchers are excited by this study because even a brief pause during the process by which a virus invades a cell provides a possible new drug target in the fight against HIV and other similar microbes.
"Our experimental system does pause frequently for hundreds of seconds," said Melikyan. "How this happens in real life is hard to say.
"But our model," he added, "is likely to apply to any virus such as HIV that fuses with the cell membrane and shares the same fusion proteins, so it certainly provides a new target. Also, existing drugs can be re-evaluated to pinpoint at what stage they actually work, to fine-tune their activity."
The experimental set-up for this study was devised by Young and Melikyan last year to investigate viral infection in a manner as close to 'real life' as possible. The researchers filmed the microscopic viruses, which are only 100 nanometers across, by labeling them with fluorescent dyes and recording at one frame every 7 seconds. (For comparison purposes, a human hair is 80,000 nanometers thick.) ASLV is a useful model for several viruses, including Ebola, the 'flu, and measles, as well as HIV.
"This system is especially well suited for these types of studies because the fusion mechanism of this virus can be finely manipulated and monitored in the lab, allowing for an exquisite level of control of the whole process," said Young. "This allows us to do things that are not possible with other systems."
The next stage is for researchers to confirm that other viruses such as HIV also have an intermediate step. Preliminary data from the Melikyan laboratory indicate that this may be the case for HIV. "We already know that the entire HIV fusion sequence is very slow, sometimes taking several hours," said Melikyan. "It is not inconceivable that it, too, has an intermediate step that lasts several minutes, giving us an adequate time window for drug action."
An independent, non-profit research organization, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies was founded by Dr. Jonas Salk in 1960 just five years after he discovered the first safe and effective polio vaccine. Five years later, the institute's main research campus, featuring two mirror image buildings designed by the famed architect Louis Kahn, was completed. Today Salk scientists conduct basic research in the biological sciences to identify the molecular origins of health and disease.

Whoa. I don't know why I never really considered the possibility of this kind of thing happening before, but I was fairly shocked when I heard about what happened to Canadian surrogate mom Cathleen Hachey. The 20-year-old woman was 27 weeks into her pregnancy -- with twins -- when she got some very unexpected news from the British couple who'd signed a contract promising to adopt the babies.
The couple was in the process of splitting up, unfortunately.
And oh, by the way ...
Cathleen could keep the babies. Now that they weren't going to be together, the couple didn't really want to be parents anymore.
Oh. My. God.
And it gets worse! Wait until you hear the way the intended parents broke the bad news!
Okay, are you ready??
That's right, the British couple who signed the aforementioned contract giving them legal custody of Hachey's babies once they were born, and who agreed to pay the surrogate $200 per month to cover pregnancy expenses, backed out via text message.
Talk about bad manners.
Thank god Hachey was able to find a couple in Nova Scotia who were beyond thrilled to adopt the babies (especially because the young surrogate already has two children, aged 1 and 2, of her own at home). And she's not bitter about the experience -- in fact, she's planning on starting another surrogate pregnancy in January. (I know, I know.)
This time Hachey will have her own lawyer, she says, a protective benefit she didn't have with the twins. Apparently, even though there are plenty of laws surrounding surrogacy, they're difficult to enforce, especially in the case of a "traditional surrogacy" like this one, when the baby(s) is conceived using the prospective father's sperm and the surrogate mother's egg instead of the prospective mother's egg. This method is easier and cheaper (think turkey baster in the bathroom), but in the end, those twins were Hachey's biological children.
I guess it's a happy ending for everybody?
Are you surprised that Cathleen Hachey wants to be a surrogate mom again?

This means that the beta starting in mid-February will only be a minor update? This is a bit frustrating. I was hoping for bigger changes (e.g. strongly improved HTML support) after such a long time.
The work on the next major update has been going on for quite some time, but it will be a big one and some people may not be happy with it as we may lose some features (especially as the new editor and viewer will be coming in), so we wanted to make sure that those who stick with the current release have another update. Plus, the beta for the next version will last much longer (remember 3.0 and 4.0 betas!). I will post full notes about what's going on when the next beta debuts.

It took playing a World War II-era woman for "Captain America: The First Avenger" star Hayley Atwell to feel retro-empowered.
"I think Peggy is someone who can kind of hold her own around guys, obviously," says Atwell, who plays the film's no-nonsense British military officer Peggy Carter. The character develops a soft spot for the scrawny but spirited underdog Steve Rogers as he journeys into super-soldierdom, but effectively keeps other wolfish admirers at bay – with her fists. "She punches them in the face if they try anything, which was brilliant because then it meant that I had her confidence in playing her to just make sure that I felt heard on the set. And I kind of am a tomboy, anyway."
"I loved the fact that she was a 1940s woman and she was strong," says Atwell of her role, who's Cap's match in guts and determination. "It kind of reminded me of the strength that Bette Davis had and Katharine Hepburn had. I love the fact that she doesn't need to be saved and there's an equality there. It feels like a much more modern-day relationship, that they're kind of kindred spirits. She's had her own struggles to get where she is because she's a woman, as he has because of his physical disadvantages. So they kind of understand each other, in a way."
U.S. & World
Atwell was also enamored of the sense of glamor that pervades the era. "There was something so fabulous and stylish about that time," she says wistfully, even though Peggy spends most of the movie in uniform. However, she did get one moment to play dress up.
"There's one scene with a red dress," she laughs, "and that's because Anna Sheppard, our brilliant costume designer, was just like, 'You know, darling, I think it's too much of the uniform. You should have something sexy and beautiful, so I'm going to make you a red dress, okay?' And she really fought for me to have a moment. That was her suggestion, and I was really grateful for it."

Early Lung Cancer Diagnosis in HIV Infected Population With an Important Smoking History With Low Dose CT: a Pilot Study (EP48 HIV CHEST)

|Hiv Infection Lung Cancer
|Radiation: Low dose computed tomography (CT)
|Not Applicable
Background Epidemiological studies in France and in the western world have shown that lung cancers are the first cause of mortality amongst the non-AIDS classifying cancers in HIV-infected individuals, despite the introduction of combination antiretroviral therapies. Compared to the general population, there is an increased risk of lung cancer in HIV-infected individuals, even after adjustment on smoking and age, estimated to be around 2.6 compared to the general population. Outcomes are dismal, as diagnoses in HIV-infected individuals are usually made at very advanced stages (usually stage III or IV) without screening. Two non-randomized studies of CT-screening in a non HIV-infected population exposed to smoking have shown an important rate of early lung cancer detection and a high level of survival at 5 or 10 years. Despite a probable high prevalence of lung cancer in the HIV-infected population, no lung cancer screening or early diagnosis studies have been realised, and the prevalence is yet to be determined. We deduced from different studies of non HIV-infected populations a 3% prevalence in the HIV-infected population.
Methods Prospective multicentric and national study evaluating the prevalence of lung cancers through low-dose CT of 450 individuals with a known HIV-infection, with a nadir level of TCD4 cells < 350/µl, ≥ 40 years old and with a smoking history ≥ 20 packs a year (either active or with <3 years of weaning). CT interpretations and lung biopsies are guided by a suggested workup algorithm, which is not imposed in each HIV-caring centre.
Inclusion and follow up period Inclusion period will be 9 months, followed, in case of the discovery of a small nodule, by a CT follow up scheme of up to two years from first diagnosis. The study closes after 26 months of follow up.
Awaited results For the first time, this prospective study of lung cancers will estimate the prevalence of these cancers screened in the HIV-infected population. Risks associated with the incidence of this cancer will be investigated, including potential immune factors. An increased number of stage I non small cell lung cancers are expected.

Program outline
Flat Out: Sleigh Ride gives your people the opportunity to collaborate to create the ultimate sleigh for Santa.
Each team is encouraged to pull together and turn a 'flat-pack' cardboard kit into a perfectly engineered sleigh powered by human reindeer.
Although detailed plans are provided, this is no easy undertaking! Careful planning and teamwork are required to succeed. Once construction is complete, teams adorn their sleighs with Christmas decorations.
The challenge concludes with a race where teams unleash their reindeer power and demonstrate pit stop prowess as all teams vie for advantage in a crucial costume swap.
Flat Out: Sleigh Ride is an enjoyable experience that brings out the best in your people and encourages ingenuity, co-operation and good-natured competition.
Learning and development outcomes
Flat Out Sleigh Ride is a fun memorable shared experience that brings out the best in people and encourages ingenuity, co-operation and good-natured competitiveness. Flat Out Sleigh Ride tests the communication skills, collaboration and creativity of your people to build the ultimate Sleigh for Santa. A fantastic way of uniting your teams at a Christmas party or end of year event.
Corporate Social Responsibility ideas
Consider providing toys which can be wrapped as part of the program. After being used in the sleigh races, they can be dontated to children's charities.

Eminem is not afraid to open the MTV Video Music Awards.
MTV general manager Stephen Friedman said Wednesday that the rapper, who's nominated for eight trophies and continues to sit atop sales charts with "Recovery," will open Sunday's ceremony at the Nokia Theatre, which has been transformed with a sprawling white set reminiscent of the out-of-this-world Theme Building at the Los Angeles International Airport.
"We thought that there's no better way to kick off the show than a performance from Eminem," said Friedman.
The enveloping stage design includes a giant rotating billboard, curvy catwalk, circular performance space and two massive video screens that will serve as curtains. VMA executive producer Jesse Ignjatovic said the undulating space, created by German designer Florian Wieder, required about 2,000 orchestra seats to be removed from the Nokia Theatre.
"Every year, we try to have a theme and purpose beyond just giving awards away," said Ignjatovic. "This year, being back in Los Angeles, we really gravitated toward mid-century modern architecture and the pop culture of the '50s, like the youth-oriented rebellion films 'Rebel Without a Cause' and 'Wild Ones.' It's a very L.A. kind of a set."
