We continue to work to end all commercial whaling at the global scale campaigning on many fronts. Many of you have already contacted President Obama asking him to live up to his campaign promise to end all commercial whaling by reforming the International Whaling Commission (IWC) and putting an end to the "research loophole" that Japan uses to continue hunting whales. I'm sure you've seen the grim pictures of Japan's whale hunt in the Southern Ocean—where they are targeting endangered fin whales and killing hundreds of minke whales in an unnecessary hunt for meat that almost no one in Japan wants to eat. Whale meat sales there fell 30% last year and record amounts are building up in frozen storage.But, span the globe from the Southern Ocean, north to Iceland and you'll discover more illegal, unnecessary commercial whaling.Iceland is setting their harpoons on endangered Fin whales. In my opinion, Iceland is going even farther than Japan in its defiance of international laws and agreements. Iceland hunts Fin whales for the export of whale products—they aren't trying to disguise it as research, they're commercial whaling in front of the whole world. Here in the US we have a law that has some real teeth in dealing with rogue nations like Iceland. The US can impose trade sanctions against Iceland's illegal whaling companies. This would put pressure on the Iceland government to halt commercial whaling before other nation's follow in the US's footsteps, imposing trade sanctions. But, in order to impose trade sanctions, President Obama must sign a declaration and enact it immediately. This is where I need your help!We are now expanding our ask to President Obama to do exactly that—impose trade sanctions against the Icelandic company involved in their commercial Fin whale slaughter.Please take action today by asking the Obama Administration to use its muscle to help put an end to the Icelandic hunting of endangered fin whales. We already have President Obama's attention, thanks to the hundreds of thousands of caring people who asked him to help save whales from the harpoons of Japanese whalers. The President knows that Americans love whales and don't want to see them needlessly slaughtered.Please speak up for the whales once more and take action today.

That blog entry shows a few you know of the whaling issue and of the debate at the IWC, or just how dishonest you are.
That blog entry shows a few you know of the whaling issue and of the debate at the IWC, or just how dishonest you are.
Japan's research programs on cetaceans don't have for goal to produce whale meat, but to gather scientific data on whale populations -- the argument behind the moratorium adopted by the IWC in 1982. These programs are perfectly legal and necessary.
Iceland's fin whale hunting is perfectly legal unless you can cite any legal decision proving the opposite. The Scandinavian country has clearly stated its objection to the moratorium when it rejoined the IWC in 2002. The US has thus no ground to impose trade sanctions on Iceland.
As for fin whales being endangered in the Central/Northeastern Antlantic, the latest estimates from the IWC give a population of 30,000 animals (23,000 - 39,000). The catch of about 150 fins per year doesn't seem to be a threat to this stock.
It's probably time Greenpeace acts in honesty and stops misinforming the public on whaling.

I am in support of all your goals. What exactly is it that Greenpeace does to protect the whales? Right now an outfit called Sea Shepherd is effectively shutting down the Japanese slaughter of whales near Antartica. Why is Greenpeace not involved in this confrontation?

Stop folding bits of origami. It does nothing. Grow some balls and get back to doing what you were renowned for. Get out there and start fighting these whalers.
And please GP... cut back on eating whales yourselves. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines07/0214-09.htm

SEA SHEPHERD HAS DONE IT!!! They chased the Japanese whalers back and forth, blocking the slipway of the factory ship. This made it impossible for the Japanese to do any whaling. Their government finally called off the whalers, no doubt because of the amount of money they were going to lose this year by staying out when unable to process any whales.
Congratulations, Captains and crews of the Sea Shepherd ships! Well done!
Woo HOOOOOOO!!!!!

I am glad that GP is doing some measures to prevent further whaling of Minke and fin whales. Both are currently on the endangered species list under the conservation status code of the International Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN). Even if Japan is currently using their catch for research, exactly how much samples will they need to fulfill their goal? Living things do need respect and just treatments regardless of their classification.

E Street Band alumnus Garry Tallent--who also produced Forbert's second-best album, 1988's "Streets of This Town"--gives the singer just the lean support he needs. But mostly the album works because it harvests Forbert's best-ever crop of songs: the ironic reflections of a retired railroad worker, "It Sure Was Better Back Then"; a hooky shuffle about relighting an old flame, "Lay Down Your Weary Tune Again"; and the Gothic imagery of the apology ballad, "Oh, To Be Back with You." --Geoffrey Himes

How are they brainstorming? And how are they handling the "form vs. function" debate? Are they understanding that function is more important than how the final bot looks? And how are the programming and building assignments being divided up?

The pictures that are posted on the site are from the school club not the FLL competition team meetings. I started the school club and offered it 40 kids for 8 sessions in the FALL. After that we'll start up with a brand new crop in the Winter. The idea is to get as many kids through the program as possible.
The kids on the current club Fall roster have all been recruited by parents to join their own FLL teams which meet separately on the weekends. I actually formed a team from the youngest kids in the club ( 3rd and 4th graders) and meet with them at my house on Sunday. There are five teams in total. I can't speak for the other coaches, but for my team, everyone takes part in the research project, as well as the robotics challenge. For the robotics challenge the kids are broken down into groups of two. Each group currently has one assigned field model.
now back to the school club....
I don't have curriculum yet so kids were tasked to get through the basics in the LME tutorials and then complete some arbitrary missions ( i.e. figure-8 , line following....)
After that , I thought it best to use the nano-challenges to keep them busy. This works quite well from the others coaches point of view. To them it's extra table time for the kids. There is also a 2 to 1 ratio of kids to robots at the club.
So far this process has worked ( kids focus on research project and robot building at their team meeting, and focus on table navigation at the club). We'll see what happens as we get closer to the tournament date. Currently the kids can not take the school's robots home, and I don't allow them to bring in their team robot to the club.

FORT WALTON BEACH — Before Hannah Baker's second birthday, her parents are having a professional photographer record their little girl's face — her dark hazel eyes, one slightly crossed — soft pink cheeks and coppery curls.
On Aug. 2, the day after she turns 2, her family will travel to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., for surgery to remove the toddler's "boo-boo eye."
"I want to take pictures of the way she is now," says her mom, Becka Baker. "This is going to be hard for her."
Diagnosed with retinoblastoma at 4 months, Hannah and her parents have been fighting her illness ever since. They had hoped to save her right eye after chemotherapy killed the tumor discovered on her optic nerve.
But around Christmastime she lost vision in that eye, and doctors told the family at Hannah's checkup last week that the eye was now at risk of infection that could spread to her brain.
"She literally digs in her eye, wakes up in the middle of the night crying," her mom says.
In addition to being a cancer survivor, Hannah and her identical twin, Ayslynn, both have epilepsy. Their 4-year-old brother, Coltyn, has hearing loss. And all the children have to be screened regularly for retinoblastoma.
They spend so much time at St. Jude's they joke that Fort Walton Beach is their vacation home.
Hannah will be fitted with a prosthetic eye after recovering from the surgery. Her parents hope it will be close match for her remaining eye.
As she has become more uncomfortable, she clings closer to her mom. While her siblings play, she snuggles with Becka, tipping her head back to see her mom's face at regular intervals.
She wears pink-framed plastic glasses strapped to her head to protect her eyes. After she ventures off the couch, she takes off the glasses and straps them over her shoulder while she dances out of her parents' reach.
For a moment, Becka and her husband Ryan watch their children play. It's hard to find the right balance when parenting a sick child.
"I don't want to be so protective I handicap her," Ryan says.
The girls are close, each favoring mauve blankets.
When Hannah has her eye removed, Ayslynn will be at the hospital with her.
"If Hannah is down, something about Ayslynn being there, they pep each other up," Becka says. "That's what helps us. If it was just one baby, it would be so much harder."

There she was, covered with leaves, dirt and grime, stuffed in the backyard of a friend's house beside several bags of trash and an old broken bicycle. We asked if it ran, which was a mistake, only to be told, "it did, until we cut the body harness out of it..." Great, just what we needed. After a moment of silence and a couple of awkward looks at the beast, we decided to take the leap and commit to buying our new project car, a 1995 Firebird, which shall be here forth named "The Dirty Bird."
Let's rewind a moment and figure out how we got here. Like most "good deals," our new Firebird came from a friend of a friend. More specifically, it came from a man named Austin Hubbard, who is currently stationed overseas in Iraq serving our country with the Marine Corps. As an active part of our military and now a man with some real money, Austin began to lose interest in wrenching on his beloved Firebird whenever he was on leave, and with less time to spend with his ride, it slowly found itself falling into worse shape. When an unknown electrical problem finally kept it grounded to his yard, Austin knew it was time to sell his beloved car, as long as it went to a good home.
Enter Greg Lovell, Austin's mechanic and owner of AntiVenom EFI in Seffner, Florida. Never one to turn down a good deal, Greg and Austin came to an agreement on the price and the deal was done. Besides money, Austin only had one request, that we keep the Dirty Bird alive and put it to good use. Well, Austin, we plan to do just that! With the Dirty Bird back at Skunkworks, our top secret R&D facility, the first order of business was to take inventory of our project and tackle the re-wiring project we had ahead of us. Under the hood, we found a mildly modified LT1 engine stuffed in an unusually barren engine bay, which meant less hassle and weight in the long run. Visually, we could see an aftermarket cold-air intake, a set of long-tube headers, and an electric water pump. Austin had also installed a set of 28 lb/hr injectors from a C5 Z06 (grey tops), and de-screened the stock MAF, which isn't always ideal but should work OK for our purposes. Other than that, though, the rest of the LT1 looked to be in good shape, with the Optispark still intact and a set of aftermarket wires, which didn't appear to be melted to anything (always a good sign).
Under the bird, we were excited to find an aftermarket torque converter stuffed in the stock 4L60E transmission, but like any old F-body, we couldn't be sure of the 4L60E's internals. From the transmission back, everything else looked stock, including the factory 10-bolt rear and all of the suspension pieces. As you can see in the pictures, we did manage to score a nice set of Firehawk-esque wheels, which we planned on trading for a set of drag oriented hoops once we got up and running.
Speaking of running, it was actually much less of a headache than we expected, and simply splicing the BCM wiring back together and by-passing the stock VATS security system had us up and running in no time. With a turn of the key, the Dirty Bird roared to life and that is when we heard the most glorious sound in the world--the sound of a camshaft thumping away through a set of long-tube headers. Yes, Austin had told us it had a cam, but we didn't expect to find a 224/230 duration camshaft stuffed in the block and we definitely didn't expect it to run and sound as mean as it did. After letting the Dirty Bird come up to operating temperature, we scientifically tested (I stress, this was science) the driveline components by doing a giant smoky burnout in the Skunkworks driveway and then did what any diehard racer would do--we loaded the bird on the trailer and hit the highway for Gainesville Raceway to see what our budget beater could muster at the dragstrip.

'A Hard Place to Grow Deer'
- Login to add to Favorites
- 0 Comments
The winter of 2011 came slowly to north-central Maine. Low snowfall and mild temperatures had run through most of December, giving the deer a reprieve. But in January the season turned cold and unrelenting. For six weeks, there was no thaw, and now the snow on the eastern side of Moosehead Lake lay three feet deep in places, including the deeryard near Lily Bay.
It's a short truck ride to Lily Bay from the Region E headquarters of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife in Greenville. If white-tailed deer could have a say about surviving at the tenuous northern edge of the species' range, this part of Maine would be the last place they'd choose. "Normally Jackman and northwest of Moosehead have the most severe winters in the state," biologist Doug Kane tells me during the drive. "But east of the lake has been just as severe this year." As he talks, an afternoon squall blows in out of nowhere. Kane slows the truck in the whiteout. The temperature, dropping, will hit eight below by evening. "If the deer can get through this stretch," he says, "and if spring comes a little early, the mortality might still be moderate. This is the critical time."
On wooden snowshoes I scramble behind Kane over a five-foot-high snowbank and into a part of the yard. The squall passes as quickly as it appeared. Weak sunlight fights its way through the thick evergreen cover around us. In a few minutes, I see deer sign everywhere: deep, beaten-down paths pockmarked by tracks, piles of snow-dusted deer pellets, chewed tips of branches. Kane wends his way to a fixed wooden stake, where he takes weekly snow-depth measurements: 28 inches.
He snowshoes along the beaten-down paths, occasionally sliding a metal yardstick into the snow, like a dipstick, to find the supporting crust below, getting a sense of what a walking deer must deal with. Even more than overall snow depth, this "sinking depth" is a critical factor during a season when deer survive in large part on the energy reserves they've stored up over the summer and fall from grasses, protein-rich legumes, and oil-filled acorns and beechnuts.
Once the snow comes, the woody browse left for them offers scant nutrition. Large bucks can lose as much as 30 percent of their body weight over the winter. Deer spend much of each winter day lying down or walking slowly, conserving precious energy.
"Fourteen inches," Kane calls out, lifting the dipstick. Then, "Sixteen." Then, "Fourteen," again. "A couple of feet would be up to their bellies," he says. "That's when they really have to work to get around."
A large deeryard in Maine will shelter a couple hundred of the animals, most in small groups of related females. They take advantage, ideally, of wind-protected south-facing slopes; a mature, closed-top conifer canopy; shared paths for easier walking; a mix of softwood and hardwood browse. The part of the yard within the state park at Lily Bay is nearly ideal.
Across the road, on private land cut over more recently, it's a different story. I follow Kane on snowshoes through scrappy cover and smaller trees. The twig ends and shrubs have been stripped chest-high. The sinking depth on Kane's dipstick reaches 22 inches, nearly two feet–perilously deep. The measurement will be added to a growing statewide database that will help inform biologists' efforts to bring back a deer herd that has declined dramatically in recent years. Sportsmen's newspaper articles and op-ed columns and blogs have called the decline a crisis–and hunters have put increasing pressure on the state's fish and game department to do something about it.
I keep hoping to see deer, bedded down or shaking snow from their coats as they bound through the woods, but Kane isn't here to sightsee, and the day is getting on. We head back to the truck without a single sighting.

Just a couple of things I forgot to post earlier,
The source code and the compiled sketches of my final project right here:
Heres the links for the artist I presented a lil bit ago, David Lynch. (sorry might have to copy and paste...)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awe8mqlDHDM&feature=related -Six Men Getting Sick
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3f0yRl6KLg -Alphabet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjeRCsoufII -Cooper's dream (Twin Peaks)
I see a very close relationship between technology and art. The reading described how the advancements of technology in the 1940's with the introduction of computers presented new opportunities in art. These changes in the art industry provided new ways to alter all types of art including photos, paintings and even sculptors. When technology continues to progress, the possibilities for art can often expand as well.
I found the most interesting art work in the introduction to be L.H.O.O.Q., which was the reproduction of Mona Lisa with the addition of the mustache and goatee by Marcel Duchamp. This piece sparked my interest because although only created in 1919, it falls under the category of digital art in the chapter. Copying and manipulating the images seems like a daunting task for being so far back in time.
The piece that interested me the most in Chapter 1 was Beauty Composites by Nancy Burson. I would like to experience the piece in person because I spent a long time studying the two images of women's faces to try and make assumptions of what features were considered most beautiful during each era. I tried to pick out which features were taken from which pop culture icon, and found that I kept second-guessing my opinions. It would be even more interesting to do a third image for the women of 2010 and look at the differences between each of the 30-year intervals.
Here is a link to my artist Guilherme Marconi's website:

My project was focused on doing a Stop-motion using legos as the objects. I then created a story line for it using audio musics, effects, and voiceovers, which are all done by me.

Relief Fragment Showing Head of Queen Ahmose
Queen Hatshepsut supported her right to rule by claiming to be the daughter of the god Amun, who visited her mother Queen Ahmose in the form of King Thutmose I. Ahmose's role in this royal myth explains the prominence of her images in Hatshepsut's funerary temple at Deir el Bahri. This fragmentary head of Ahmose was the work of one of Hatshepsut's best sculptors, who indicated the subject's maturity by carving a slight double chin. The headdress was later scored with a chisel, perhaps in preparation for repainting.

Raw video: Massive funnel clouds tear across western Japan
Contrary to reports, a rainbow over a recent Grateful Dead show was naturally produced, not created for $50,000.
On Jeopardy Monday, host Alex Trebek was reading clues under the "TV" category and then got to one that showcased his skills as a rapper. Trebek put his own unique take on Will Smith's lyrics to the theme song of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, rapping, "I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, 'Yo homes, smell ya later.'" It wasn't the first time Trebek has displayed his lyrical spitfire. In a classic episode of Jeopardy from January 2014 he rapped an entire category. Audiences at home had their ear buds treated to Trebek rapping lines like Dr. Dre's "Never let me slip, 'cause if I slip, then I'm slippin'" and Biggie's "I made the change from a common thief to up close and personal with Robin Leach." The people in charge of the long-running game show must have enjoyed the attention Trebek's flow received online because just a few months later, Trebek was rapping more lyrics. There's just something in the way he says "Sabotage," I suppose. Jeopardy is a nationally syndicated program. Check your local listings for its airtime.

Sallie Whiteside is no stranger to the annual Oktoc Country Store.
Whiteside said she has been involved in the preparation for the yearly community event for over 20 years after she moved out to Oktoc 26 years ago.
"We lived in Starkville, but we had always wanted to move to the Oktoc," she said. "I grew up in Starkville so I knew the history of the community and went to school with many children from that community."
Whiteside said she and her family had always wanted to be a part of the Oktoc community.
"We bought a house that was originally part of the Hartness Dairy Farm property," she said. "We have just loved it here."
Whiteside said she will once again contribute her original culinary creations to the Oktoc Country Store for sale Saturday at the Oktoc Community Club.
"I contribute baked goods to the store, and this year I will be taking my fig cakes that are made from scratch with the fig preserves we get from our fig tree," she said. "Last year I took apple cider that we made from our kitchen by the cup."
Whiteside said she primarily bakes for her family and will be featuring another family favorite for this year's store.
"I'll also be taking strawberry bread which is something my mother used to make growing up and our family enjoyed it, but a lot people didn't know about it," she said. "Banana and poppy seed breads are pretty common, but the strawberry bread didn't seem to be well known because it's different."
Whiteside said she is looking forward to this year's Oktoc Country Store and the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful fall weather.
"We'll have tables outside and it's such a wonderful time to kick off the season and let the community come together," she said. "The items available for sale are perfect for buying and freezing prior to the holiday season, and it's just a fun time of year."
The annual Oktoc Country Store begins at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Oktoc Community Club and is hosted by the Oktoc Garden Club.
