Nostalgic Voyager documentary relives first exploration of the solar system
View the trailer
A species gets only one chance to explore its solar system for the first time.
For humans, that chance began 40 years ago this month, when the twin Voyager spacecraft embarked on their "grand tour" of the solar system. A new PBS documentary airing on August 23, The Farthest: Voyager in Space, chronicles their journey to send home the first close-ups of the giant...
Here's how an asteroid impact would kill you
It won't be a tsunami. Nor an earthquake. Not even the crushing impact of the space rock. No, if an asteroid kills you, gusting winds and shock waves from falling and exploding space rocks will most likely be to blame. That's one of the conclusions of a recent computer simulation effort that investigated the fatality risks of more than a million possible asteroid impacts.

Growth-promoting antibiotics: On the way out?
In 1950, Science News ran a story showing for the first time that a potent antibiotic could do more than knock out disease. New animal experiments, we reported, "cast the antibiotic in a spectacular new role" as a livestock growth promoter. Lacing the food of hogs with trace quantities of this drug increased meat yields by up to 50 percent, scientists at Lederle Laboratories had reported at a...
E. coli evade detection by going dormant
Researchers think they now know why a particularly virulent form of E. coli that swept through northern Germany last May was so hard to trace: The germs responsible eluded detection by going into a self-induced deep sleep.
Two new studies show that when stressed, E. coli can turn off most signs of life. That's a problem for food-safety officials because their germ-...
Obesity messes with the brain
Obesity subtly diminishes memory and other features of thinking and reasoning even among seemingly healthy people, an international team of scientists reports. At least some of these impairments appear reversible through weight loss. Researchers also report one likely mechanism for those cognitive deficits: damage to the wiring that links the brain's information-processing regions.
Big Fishing Yields Small Fish
Sharks, billfish, cod, tuna and other fish-eating fish — the sea's equivalents to lions on the Serengeti — dominated the marine world as recently as four decades ago. They culled sick, lame and old animals and kept populations of marine herbivores in check, preventing marine analogs of antelopes from overgrazing their environment.
But the reign of large...
PCBs may impair fertility
PCB exposure may interfere with a woman's ability to get pregnant, a new study of women undergoing in vitro fertilization suggests. The study of 765 women found that those whose blood contained the highest levels of a particular form of polychlorinated biphenyl — one known as PCB 153 — were 41 percent less likely to give birth than women with the lowest levels.

Coffee perks up memory and balance in geriatric animals
CHICAGO Millions of Americans start their day with a cup of coffee and then reach for refills when their energy or attention flags. But new research in rats suggests that for the aging brain, coffee may serve as more than a mere stimulant. It can boost memory and the signaling essential to motor coordination.
But here's the rub: If the same effects hold for humans, downing a morning...

A limited license is granted to an attorney from one state who gets a job as an in-house counsel in a different state. A patent bar exam applicant must have a STEM degree.
sorry for the late response....basically i have a JD and a masters and 2 bachelors degree..however i do not want to practice in court...are there any limited licenses i can take without taking the bar exam? i still want to work in the legal field, but definitely do not want to be a court lawyer or spend all that money taking the 3 day bar exam plus the course. i do not want to work as a paralegal with all my education. i am just wondering what my options are. are there any limited licenses available for me or career paths i can go with a JD and some sort of limited license without being a full fledged lawyer?

Of all the new cars and concepts unveiled at the North American Auto Show in Detroit only a handful are all-electric or hybrids.
For all the "Green Car" promotion, it appears automakers have come to the conclusion the conventional internal combustion engine remains the industry's standard for the near future.
A study by the international tax, audit and advisory firm KPMG found while sales of electric vehicles hit a record last year, car company executives believe electrics won't account for more than 15 percent of total global new vehicle sales until at least 2025. That's when U.S. fuel economy standards will require vehicles to average 54.5 mph a gallon.
Manufacturers like Japan's Mazda are moving ahead with technologies like "SkyActiv," engineering out excess weight from vehicle frames, engines and transaxles to squeeze more mileage from gas-powered vehicles without sacrificing performance.
"The combustion engine today is still a very viable alternative," KMPG'S Betsy Meter told The Detroit News.
Ford is downsizing and turbocharging EcoBoost engines -- including a 1-liter, 3-cylinder engine that could fit in a suitcase. About 25 percent of the 200 global auto executives questioned by KPMG for its 14th Global Automotive Executive Survey said improving gasoline and diesel engines would remain a major focus for investment in the next five years.
"When you look at current [miles per gallon] estimates for new cars, it's very evident that automakers are continuing to significantly improve engine efficiency," KPMG National Automotive Industry leader Gary Silberg said.
At the auto show, General Motors showed the Cadillac ELR coupe, an upscale gas-electric hybrid based on the Chevrolet Volt, which could sell for around $60,000. Volkswagen unveiled CrossBlue, a concept midsize, six-passenger, plug-in electric-diesel SUV capable of going more than 600 miles on a single tank of fuel and battery power.
In the meantime, Nissan is cutting the base price of its Leaf electric car by 18 percent and improving batteries to boost the subcompact's driving range. Nissan sold fewer than 10,000 Leafs in the United States in 2012, less than half its stated goal.
The 2013 Leaf S carries a manufacturer's suggested list price of $28,800, but federal and state incentives could bring the drive-home cost down to less than $20,000, The New York Times said. The Leaf S will be made in Tennessee. First generation Leafs were made in Japan.
Nissan indicated it has no plans to give up on electric vehicle technology.
"Since we launched the Leaf in 2010, we've learned that people are very attracted to the advanced technology and other amenities, but they are also looking for a more affordable price point," Brian Carolin, Nissan senior vice president of sales and marketing, told the Los Angeles Times.
Forty-five percent of the 22 U.S. executives surveyed said plug-in electric vehicles and hybrids would account for 16 percent of auto sales by 2025, but 71 percent of all the respondents in 31 countries predicted internal combustion engines would offer better technologies like fuel management and start-strop systems to keep the edge for the short-term.
"Today's combustion engines can continue to offer consumers the fuel efficiency and performance they desire, and what's clear is that the conventional internal combustion engine is not going anywhere anytime soon," KMPG's Silberg wrote.
Major issues facing electrics remain consumer concern about battery range, recharging options and the higher buy-in cost despite government grants and incentives.
Hyundai, Kia accepting claims on overstated mileage
Owners of Hyundai and Kia vehicles will have at least until the end of the year to register for compensation for overstated mileage ratings.
The South Korean automakers told Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., in December dealers will receive compensation for taking part in the program. Hyundai and Kia said in November they would reimburse owners of nearly 1.1 million vehicles in North America because of misstated gas mileage claims on vehicle window stickers.
Hyundai withdrew mileage claims of 40 mph on four models following an EPA investigation.
The car companies face dozens of lawsuits and could spend more than $100 million on refunds based on a vehicle's mileage and gasoline prices, The Detroit News said.
John Mendel, vice president of sales for American Honda Motor Co., said Hyundai and Kia had betrayed the public trust.
"Competitive pressure should never let us betray the trust of our customers," Mendel said at the Automotive News World Congress, the News reported.
Separately, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality said EPA would review mileage claims of the Ford C-Max hybrid and Fusion hybrid. Both vehicles claim they get 47 mpg on the window sticker. EPA, which audits the fuel-efficiency claims of about 15 percent of the industry, plans to test a C-Max hybrid.
"I am very confident that the sticker is sound, but I am also committed to keeping up with technology," Chris Grundler told the News. "The integrity of that sticker is very, very important."
Alfa Romero sports car heading for North America
Fiat-Chrysler Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne has confirmed the Alfa Romero brand will make a U.S. comeback with the rear-wheel-drive 4C sports car later this year.
"We're finalizing the car now, so it should be here by the end of the year," Marchionne said speaking to Inforum, a women's leadership group in Detroit.
Afla Romero, Fiat's luxury brand, pulled out of the U.S. market in 1995. Marchionne said he wants it to return with a full North American lineup of nine Alfa models by 2016, the Detroit Free Press said.
"A lot of work as gone on in the choice of architectures and models," he said. "But we've got to make sure than we have the powertrain set up. This remains my key objective right now."
Most of the new Alfas will be assembled at under-utilized plants in Italy, where European vehicle sales have flat-lined.
Mazda will make a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive roadster in Japan in 2015 that will be developed as the next-generation Alfa Spider and the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 sports car.
Marchionne hopes the open top Spider will become a halo car for Fiat in the United States.
"This is territory that belonged to Alfa," he said.
Fiat says the two sports cars will be "differentiated, distinctly styled, iconic and brand-specific roadsters."
Same Bat time, new Bat channel
The classic Batmobile from the 1960's television show "Batman" has a new owner.
Rick Champagne, an Arizona logistics company executive, bid $4.62 million for the car that began life as the 1955 Lincoln Futura concept.
Customizer George Barris, 87, bought the two-seat, Plexiglas bubble-topped, 19-foot-long concept vehicle from Ford for $1 and spent $15,000 turning it into the Batmobile driven by the Caped Crusader and Robin, the boy wonder, on the television show, the Los Angeles Times said.
The original car was hand-built in Italy in 1954 and first shown publicly at the 1955 Chicago Auto Show.
The Batmobile had been on display at Barris Kustom Industries in North Hollywood since the television show wrapped in 1968.

(Copyright (c) 2010 Cynthia Shenette) Have you used the "Ask a Librarian" service at your public library? It's a wonderful service offered by many public libraries around the country. If you haven't used it I suggest you try it out, and if you have I'd love to hear about your experience. I used it recently when I was looking for some statistics on the population of Katowice, Poland for my post Trip to Poland, 1937 (An Ongoing Series): Katowice.
I'm a librarian myself, and B.C. (Before Child) spent 11 years in reference. Believe me, reference librarians live for this stuff. I usually do my own research, because I love doing it, but one night was at home and knew because of scheduling issues I wasn't going to be able to get down to the library for several days. I had a brilliant thought. Why not check out the "Ask a Librarian" service at the public library? I filled out their online form around 10:00 p.m., and bada bing bada boom, the next morning there was my answer in an e-mail response. I followed it up with another question and promptly got a second reply. I love those people.
Here are my tips for using your "Ask a Librarian" service successfully:
~ read and follow the directions for an e-mail query
~ provide as much information as you can to give the librarian a real idea of what you are looking for, but also try to be as precise and succinct as possible
~ tell the librarian what resources you've already checked for information
~ be patient as sometimes it may take a day or two or even a week or two to receive your answer
~ be polite, and a follow-up thank you e-mail is always nice
Be aware that some questions lend themselves to e-mail queries more readily than others. My population question was pretty straightforward. Librarians may not, or in some cases will not, do extensive research for you, at least free of charge. If you provide an exact citation for an obit they will probably be able to help you out. If you say, "I think my John Smith died sometime in 1902," but you're not sure of the particulars and there isn't an easily accessible index to the newspaper where the obit might have appeared, they may not be able to help you. Believe it or not, not all old newspapers are indexed or online. Take some of my local Worcester, MA papers for example. Librarians simply don't have time to do extensive research for every patron. That being said, "Ask a Librarian" is a wonderful service. Try it out.
Now I'm off to do research. I live for this stuff...

Box Score | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Yale men's soccer team opened the season in impressive fashion. Jordan Raybould scored in the first half, and Eric Meyer added a second-half tally as the Bulldogs blanked Maine 2-0 on a sunny and hot afternoon at Reese Stadium. Travis Chulick made four saves to post the shutout in goal.
"This was just the kind of game we needed," said Yale head coach Brian Tompkins. "We had to work hard to get the win. Maine certainly was no pushover. Given the heat and given the fact it was our first game, I thought we showed a lot of promise."
Maine (1-3) was playing for the fourth time this season, but Yale had the better of the play for most of the game, outshooting the Black Bears 14-11 and also had a higher number of quality chances.
The Bulldogs' first goal in the 27th minute came off a corner kick. Meyer sent a long cross to Alex Guzinski, whose header was deflected in by Raybould. Yale added an insurance goal midway through the second half. Freshman Charlie Neil set it up by dribbling down the far side and sending a cross into the box. Max Rhodes outfought a defender and deflected it to Meyer, who headed it into the right corner.
"Both goals were very well done," Tompkins said. "We haven't traditionally had much success on headers, so that was nice. I thought Jordan scoring was a just reward. He was outstanding on offense and defense."
Chulick, making only the second start of his career, was solid for the Bulldogs. His best save of the game came shortly after Yale scored its second goal. It came when he dove to his left to deflect Thomas McCole's shot from just inside the box.
Maine keeper Alex Pilitsis also played well, finishing with five saves.
Yale had three freshmen in its starting lineup, Neil, Andy Hackbarth and Marcus DiLallo. Hackbarth had a good scoring chance early in the first half, but his free kick from just outside the box sailed wide.
The Bulldogs are back in action on Friday when play Colgate at the Dartmouth Classic at 4:30 p.m.

WASHINGTON — The chairman of the Senate Veterans' Affairs committee has released details of a refashioned bill to address the problems plaguing the federally run veterans' health care system.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont Independent, posted a draft of his bill Sunday and said it would be introduced this week.
The bill has several new provisions aimed at fixing the long delays for veterans' care. The long-simmering issue erupted into a scandal in April and led to last week's resignation of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki.
Sanders' bill would allow veterans to seek care outside the VA if they face long delays, authorize ways to hire and to attract new doctors and nurses to the VA and gives the department authority to fire poor-performing executives.
An earlier version was sidetracked in February.

Story highlights
- Prince George will be christened on October 23 at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace
- The Archbishop of Canterbury will officiate at the christening
- Prince George has not been seen in public since he left the hospital in July
Prince George will be christened on October 23 at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace, his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, announced Friday.
The christening will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby.
Prince George was born July 22 in London.
His parents, Prince William and Catherine, have kept him out of the public eye since he left the hospital a day later.
Media crews from around the world had spent days camped outside the hospital waiting to see the royal baby, who is the great-grandson of Queen Elizabeth II.
The world got its first glimpse of George since then in family photographs released last month. They were taken by Catherine's father, Michael Middleton, in the garden of his Berkshire home.
The baby is third in line for the throne now occupied by the queen. Her son, Charles, would succeed her, followed by his oldest son, William.

Richard Gordon entered heaven on Monday, Jan. 13, 2014. He was lovingly known by all as "Poppy" or that man with his invisible dog, "Spot."
He was a Christian, member of the Gillett United Methodist Church and a retired farmer. Richard was an exceptional man, full of fun (and aggravation!), love, wisdom and an unbelievable devotion to his family. Poppy's happiest times were spent with his family. We were truly blessed to have him for a husband, Daddy and Poppy. He was one of a kind. Thank you, God, for our family.
He was born Nov. 29, 1939 in DeWitt. He was preceded in death by his parents, Elton Gordon and Dorothy Falls Gordon Cox; and siblings, Charles Elton Gordon, Bobby Gordon, Virginia Younger and Reba Gordon.
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Thelma Coffman Gordon; seven siblings, Janelle Erwin (Roger), Joe Bill Gordon, Tom Cox (Jane), John Cox (JoAnn), Joe Robert Gordon, Jack Cox and JoAnn Nady; children, Susan Hestir (Randy), Gay Counce, Laura Turner (Jammy) and Julie Hackney (Greg); grandchildren, Ronni Hearn (Jody), Holt Hestir (Lindsay), Randi Hestir, Taylor Counce, Cole Counce, Layne Turner, Landon Turner, Jake Turner, Jack Hackney and Ben Hackney; and great-grandchildren: Jentry and Braylee Hearn.

Acute cerebellar ataxia is sudden, uncoordinated muscle movement due to disease or injury to the cerebellum. This is the area in the brain that controls muscle movement.
Acute cerebellar ataxia in children, particularly younger than age 3, may occur several weeks after an illness caused by a virus.
Viral infections that may cause this include chickenpox, Coxsackie disease, Epstein-Barr, and echovirus.
Other causes of acute cerebellar ataxia include:
- Abscess of the cerebellum
- Alcohol, medicines, and insecticides
- Bleeding into the cerebellum
- Multiple sclerosis
- Strokes of the cerebellum
- Vaccination
Ataxia may affect movement of the middle part of the body from the neck to the hip area (the trunk) or the arms and legs (limbs).
When the person is sitting, the body may move side-to-side, back-to-front, or both. Then the body quickly moves back to an upright position.
When a person with ataxia of the arms reaches for an object, the hand may sway back and forth.
Common symptoms of ataxia include:
- Clumsy speech pattern (dysarthria)
- Repetitive eye movements (nystagmus)
- Uncoordinated eye movements
- Walking problems (unsteady gait)
Exams and Tests
The health care provider will ask if the person has recently been sick and will try to rule out any other causes of the problem. Brain and nervous system examination will be done to identify the areas of the nervous system that are most affected.
The following tests may be ordered:
Treatment depends on the cause:
- If the acute cerebellar ataxia is due to bleeding, surgery may be needed.
- For a stroke, medicine to thin the blood can be given.
- Infections may need to be treated with antibiotics or antivirals.
- Steroids may be needed for swelling (inflammation) of the cerebellum (such as from multiple sclerosis).
- Cerebellar ataxia caused by a recent viral infection may not need treatment.
Outlook (Prognosis)
People whose condition was caused by a recent viral infection should make a full recovery without treatment in a few months. Strokes, bleeding, or infections may cause permanent symptoms.
Possible Complications
In rare cases, movement or behavioral disorders may persist.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your provider if any symptoms of ataxia appear.

Best British-built cars
* The best UK-built cars * From Aston Martin to Toyota * See our favourites here...
The British car industry is booming. A report by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) revealed that UK car production rose by 9% in 2012, with overall output at the highest level since 2008. Many of the UK's top-selling models including the Honda Civic and Vauxhall Astra are now built in Britain.
The future looks bright, too Jaguar Land Rover has announced plans to create 800 jobs at its factory in Solihull, while BMW's new range of three-cylinder engines will be built in the UK.
Nissan produces three popular models the Juke, Note and Qashqai in Sunderland, and the Qashqai must sit at the head of British manufacturing success stories. It's been a huge triumph thanks to its blend of SUV looks and affordable prices, and although a (UK-built) replacement isn't too far off, it remains one of the best mid-size SUVs around.
The Qashqai's baby brother the Juke is also worth a mention, but we'd recommend the more practical, better-value Note MPV instead. The next-generation Note due this autumn, and also to be built in Sunderland will strive to deliver more of the same.
The Nissan Qashqai is built in Sunderland; it's still one of the best mid-size SUVs around
Jaguar Land Rover produces 10 models in the UK, at factories in Birmingham, Coventry and Liverpool, and that number will soon be boosted to 11, when the new F-type sports car is launched.
Pick of the Jaguar range is the Jaguar XF, which remains one of the best executive saloons, thanks to its excellent ride and handling, and generous standard equipment.
The stylish Range Rover Evoque does just enough to justify its high prices, but it's not as impressive as the all-new Range Rover, which is as capable off-road as ever, and so good in every other area that we named it best luxury car in our 2013 Car of the Year Awards.
New Range Rover excels on any surface and has a sumptuous cabin it's our 2013 Luxury Car of the Year
Honda produces its Civic, CR-V and Jazz models in Swindon, and of the three, the CR-V is our favourite. It's a well-built and practical family car that will tick all the boxes for most SUV buyers.
Toyota's factory at Burnaston, Derbyshire, is home to its Auris and Avensis models. The Auris Hybrid is a cheaper alternative to the closely related Toyota Prius , but the no-nonsense Avensis is our favourite UK-built Toyota. It's hardly exciting, but it's difficult to fault and excellent value for money.
Despite BMW ownership, Mini remains a thoroughly British brand and all of its models bar the Countryman and Paceman are assembled in Oxford. None of these sums up the appeal of the Mini brand as well as the Mini Coupe, which is incredibly good fun to drive.
The Mini Roadster is our 2013 Open-Top Car of the Year
Aston Martin, Bentley and Rolls-Royce are no longer British-owned manufacturers, but they produce hugely desirable models that blend cutting-edge technology with old-school British charm.
The Vantage coupe is our pick of the Aston Martin model range, all of which are built in Gaydon, Warwickshire. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a credible Porsche 911 rival, with all the style and performance you'd expect.
McLaren MP4-12C Spider is the best British-built sports car on sale
Bentley is now part of the VW Group, but its cars are built using traditional methods in its Crewe factory. For us, the Continental GT sums up what a modern Bentley should be, especially in V8 form.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom saloon, which is hand-built in Goodwood, West Sussex, is BMWs take on what the quintessential British luxury car should be, and is worth every penny of its near-300k price.
Britain builds some great sports cars, too, and pick of the bunch is the outstanding McLaren MP4-12C Spider, which is built in Woking, Surrey.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) De'Leon Eskridge was a workhorse for the Spartans on Saturday, recording 25 carries for a career-high 134 yards, scoring his only touchdown of the afternoon on a 32-yard run with 5:23 remaining to put San Jose State up for good in a 31-20 win over Texas State.
San Jose State (6-2, 2-1 WAC) was up 24-20 before Eskridge gave them some breathing room over a pesky Texas State (3-4, 1-1) squad. Spartans quarterback David Fales was 26 of 38 for 376 and two touchdowns. The 571 total yards for the Spartans offense was a season high.
Texas State led 20-17 heading into halftime before Fales found David Freeman on a 78-yard touchdown strike on their second possession of the third quarter to put San Jose State up 24-20.
Bobcats running back Shaun Rutherford carried the ball 14 times for 70 yards including a 45-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.

With Burns Night around the corner, Glen Garioch, one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, is encouraging whisky enthusiasts to enjoy a single malt with their haggis to celebrate the life and poetry of the great Scottish bard, Robert Burns.
Following the 'piping in' of the haggis, it's traditional at Burns suppers to toast the Scottish delicacy with a glass of whisky and Glen Garioch Founder's Reserve is the perfect dram to complement the dish and honour Scotland's national poet on the 25 January 2014.
Glen Garioch has been handcrafting a beautiful range of natural single malt whiskies for over 200 years and Founder's Reserve encapsulates the distillery's long-standing tradition of craftsmanship to produce the quintessential Highland single malt. It illustrates the distinct house character with hints of heather, a touch of spice and sweet vanilla and butterscotch notes on the nose that is a perfect balance to haggis.
Rachel Barrie, Master Blender at Morrison Bowmore said: "My favourite dram with haggis is undoubtedly Glen Garioch Founder's Reserve. Matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, bottled at 48% abv and non chill- filtered, Founder's Reserve has a robust, full-bodied texture and a rich, rounded feel. This lengthens and amplifies each mouthful of haggis, enhancing the taste experience.
"From the first sip, thick heather honey sweetness coats the palate providing a luscious layer of sweet malt flavour into which the contrasting taste of dry peppered oatmeal melds. In the mid-palate, savour the smooth velvety malt with the wholesome gaminess of the haggis. Then feel Glen Garioch's warm sweet and spicy kick as ginger, nutmeg and cloves build up to a warm crescendo, before lingering satisfyingly into the next mouthful."
It is part of Burns' mythology that he liked a drink or three. Whether this is true or not, what is undeniable is that Burns saw Scottish malt whisky as holding a special symbolic and fiscal significance for Scotland. So why not toast to one of his poems, 'Scotch Drink' and salute to whisky, 'soul o' plays and pranks', as Rabbie Burns would have wanted?

If you have nothing better to do, it looks like you could easily imitate this project at home. Just keep in mind that chicken and fish apparently don't "present an easily-readable image" on the screen. [Eat Me Daily via Kottke]

Audubon Masterpiece at NM Tech Made More User-Friendly, March 9, 2005
Caption: Facing pages in Audubon's Birds of America (Audubon Society Baby Folio Edition) in the reading room at NM Tech's Joseph R. Skeen Library depict the Sandhill Crane and the Whooping Crane in color plates measuring 8-1/2" x 13". A concordance created for the library by the Friends of the Bosque del Apache NWR provides additional information about the 435 color illustrations in the Birds of America.
by John Bertrand, Friends of the Bosque del Apache NWR
SOCORRO, N.M., March 7, 2005 -- A pair of key references at New Mexico Tech's Joseph R. Skeen Library for birders and naturalists have just become more user-friendly with a document donated by the Friends of the Bosque del Apache NWR. The books are also stunning works of beauty for the general public.
Nearly two centuries ago, John J. Audubon published monumental book his Birds of America with 435 color plates of birds in life size -- arguably the most influential work from nature ever published. Tech's Skeen Library has two editions of this work, the American Heritage and the Audubon Society Baby Elephant Folio editions. One features reproductions of Audubon's original watercolor illustrations; the other reproduces the engraved color plates from the printed original edition. There are dramatic differences between the illustrations and accompanying information in the two editions, providing valuable historical insights into ornithological scholarship and the publication of this seminal work.
This week, Friends of the Bosque vice president Jon Morrison presented a Birds of America concordance created by Friends volunteer John Bertrand expressly for Tech's library. The concordance cross-references all the birds illustrated in both editions, and the variant common and scientific names by which the birds are identified. By comparing corresponding illustrations, additions inserted by the engraver become evident.
The Joseph R. Skeen Library is one of a select group of libraries in the nation to have in its collection both the 1966 American Heritage and the 1990 Baby Elephant Folio edition. The Baby Elephant Folio is available for viewing in the library's second floor reading room. The American Heritage edition, along with the concordance, may be requested from the archives for viewing in the library.
Color plates in the Baby Elephant Folio edition at Skeen Library, which weighs in at sixteen pounds, measure as large as 14" x 21". ["Baby elephant folio" is a publishing term referring to a page size of 12" x 14-1/2".] Audubon's original Birds of America was printed as a "double elephant folio", with sheets measuring 29-1/2" x 39-1/2", the largest book format ever printed. By depicting tall birds with their necks bent as in feeding, Audubon was able to represent even the largest birds, such as the Sandhill Crane, in actual life size in the Double Elephant Folio format.

MIDDLEBURY — Allison Stanger, a professor of international politics and economics at Middlebury College, will serve as Middlebury's newest representative on the UD-3 school board.
Stanger takes a spot on the board most recently held by Quinn Mecham, who stepped down this past summer when he relocated with his family to Utah. It's the role of the ID-4 board — which governs Mary Hogan Elementary School — to appoint replacements for any Middlebury vacancies on the UD-3 board, which represents Middlebury Union middle and high schools.

By Jessica Smith
In June 2013 Docomomo US featured an article on the plight of Edward Durell Stone's (1966-67) World Trade Center in New Orleans. The former International Trade Mart Building was in danger of being demolished while the city was considering three proposals concerning the redevelopment of the building and site, a situation more and more mid-century commercial buildings are encountering as they are considered out-of-date and left vacant. However, hotels like Starwood's W and Aloft brands have started to target mid-century commercial buildings, like The World Trade Center, for redevelopment rather than going the route of new construction.

The city of New Orleans issued a public Request for Proposals in January 2013 for the World Trade Center's building and the surrounding site. Gatehouse Capital Corporation of Dallas (the largest developer of the W Hotel Brand), James H. Burch LLC, and Tricentennial Consortium, a coalition of leaders of New Orleans' major tourism organizations each submitted a proposal for the redevelopment of the site. Gatehouse and James H. Burch's proposals looked to repurpose the building into a hotel and residential condos. Tricentennial's proposal sought to demolish the building and construct an "iconic symbol" of New Orleans in its place as a way to incite tourism. Although many were in favor of its demolition, including Mayor Mitch Landrieu, the New Orleans Building Corporation chose to move forward with the Gatehouse proposal because they offered the clearest vision of development and economic benefits while the other two proposals had too many unclear details. Gatehouse's proposal includes the conversion of the bottom 12 floors of the 33-story building into a 245-room W Hotel and restaurant, while the other floors will be converted into luxury condo space. The plans to move forward are not yet set in stone, but the two parties entered into lease negotiations for the property just this past September.
Though the redevelopment of the New Orleans' World Trade Center has been shrouded in controversy and politics, the decision to move forward on Gatehouse's proposal shows the city's consideration of the important role this building has played in the city of New Orleans along with its potential to stimulate growth and economic development in the future. It's also interesting to point out that although adaptive reuse is not a new practice, the fact that the W Hotel has started to look to mid-century commercial property to showcase its brand appears to be part of a growing trend in hotel design. Another Starwood brand, Aloft, is also taking advantage of vacant, mid-century architecture and turning properties into boutique hotels. Within the last 2 years, Aloft has redeveloped buildings in Tulsa, Ok, Orlando, FL, and is looking to redevelop Tampa, FL's former Mercantile Bank building in 2014.
Image (right): Old City Hall in Tulsa, Oklahoma, now an Aloft Hotel
A current example of this trend is the restoration of The Old City Hall Tower, by Aloft. Built in 1969 and located in Tulsa, Oklahoma's downtown historic civic complex, the building served as the City Hall until 2008 when it was considered unable to effectively meet the needs of its occupants, and the base of operations for the city's government agencies moved to One Technology Center on the east side of downtown. In 2010, after sitting vacant for two years, the developers Brickhugger LLC bought the property with the intention of converting it into an Aloft hotel. The hotel, which opened in May 2013, incorporated the original marble walls and terrazzo floors into the design along with carrying the mid-century aesthetic theme into other aspects like furniture and lighting. The original concrete exterior was also preserved with the addition of Q7 LED pars that illuminates the building at night, making it a recognizable feature in Tulsa's skyline. Its new function and central location in downtown has provided those staying there with easy access to places downtown, like the Bank of Oklahoma Center (BOK), in addition to providing a hip, modern venue to socialize and unwind after the week is done. Although many of Tulsa's residents considered the Old City Hall to be an eyesore, its role is recognized as an important part of the development of Tulsa's economic and aesthetic growth in the 1960's and was listed as part of Tulsa's Civic Center Historic District in January of 2012.
Another Aloft project, this time in downtown Orlando, Florida, is the repurposing the mid-20th century Orlando Utility Commission building. Designed by Richard Boone Rodgers and completed in 1967, the building sat vacant from 2008-2011 when the New York based developer GDC Properties LLC purchased it. Designated as a local landmark as well as being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the redevelopment of the building provided an opportunity for the developers to take advantage of historic tax credits. Terrazzo floors, teak wood paneling and the Orlando Utility Commission executive office are all being preserved. Ultimately, the hotel will provide a link between the buildings's past and future, allowing guests the privilege of enjoying an iconic piece of architecture in Orlando's revitalized downtown.

In the rebounding economy, adaptive reuse is being recognized as a smart option for hoteliers targeting a younger generation by pairing innovative technology with a touch of history and mid-century modern appeal. Not surprisingly the real estate community has taken notice, and the topic was a major point of discussion at the Crittenden National Real Estate Conference this past spring. Panelists discussed the benefits of adaptive reuse, touching upon the financial benefits in the form of tax incentives but also highlighted the advantage that historic buildings have in creating a historical narrative in a modern setting that showcases the city's progression into the future. Mid-century modernist buildings like the World Trade Center in New Orleans, LA, Tulsa, OK's Old City Hall, and the Utility Commission building in Orlando, FL are once again serving as symbols of innovation and cutting-edge design.

ASUS launch P8Z77 Work Station motherboard
Ryan Martin / 7 years ago
The ASUS P8Z77 WS brings Intel Z77 Express Chipset and next generation processor technologies to a package custom-designed for small businesses and professionals. Gen3 four-Way CrossFireX graphics power works up to 50% faster than the previous, while dual Intel LAN ports leads to a 71% lower CPU utilization, increasing throughput to achieve outstanding performance as well as better support for diverse operating systems. And with the newly designed Virtual Vsync, users can enjoy a smoother gaming experience by eliminating tearing artifacts. ASUS also provides several exclusive features that augment computing experiences, including Fan Xpert 2 detailed fan management and Network iControl bandwidth allocation and prioritization.
Enhanced AMD Gen3 Four-Way CrossFireXand NVIDIA GeForce SLI : The P8Z77 WS supports Gen3 Four-Way GeForce SLI, and offers a 50% increase in overall graphics processing power when compared with PCI Express 2.0-outfitted workstation motherboards running 4-Way CrossFireX. The motherboard has four PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots, which deliver up to twice the bandwidth of physically-identical PCI Express 2.0 slots, and thus allow for greater expandability towards professional applications or the most demanding gaming usage. ASUS markets the P8Z77 WS primarily to commercial and professional clients, including fields such as mechanical and architectural design, interior design, aeronautics, and high-end audiovisual production and editing.
Better networking with dual server-class Intel Ethernet : Hardware Intel Ethernet relieves much of the processing load placed on CPUs during online tasking, reducing processor utilization by as much as 71% on the P8Z77 WS compared to similar workstation offerings from other brands. In addition to improved efficiency and system response, benefits include a more stable and reliable connection with lowered latency and packet loss. With support for all major operating systems, the P8Z77 WS with its dual Intel Ethernet design enables twice the bandwidth of a motherboard equipped with just standard Gigabit Ethernet, increasing throughput for faster and more stable online performance.
LucidLogix Virtu MVP harnesses discrete and integrated graphics : LucidLogix Virtu MVP can increase graphics output by as much as 60% beyond its original performance. With LucidLogix Virtu MVP onboard, the P8Z77 WS has a more generous graphics threshold to work with, allowing LucidLogix Virtual Sync technology to use the bigger overheard to clear up artifacts and screen tearing during gaming, HD video playback, and other applications. And with intelligent graphics chipset allocation, the P8Z77 WS boasts up to three times faster video conversion, combining LucidLogix Virtu MVP with Intel Quick Sync Video 2.0 technology without compromising the power of NVIDIA or AMD graphics cards.
Better cooling and detailed network management : Like other ASUS 7 Series motherboards, the P8Z77 WS ships with Fan Xpert 2 technology, which automatically detects thermal properties inside the case to adjust CPU and chassis fan speeds. In addition to auto tuning, the Fan Xpert 2 interface arrives with very detailed settings that let users determine the performance of each fan individually as required. The end result is desktops and workstations that run significantly cooler and quieter thanks to smart fan supervision.
Network iControl presents another ASUS exclusive debuting on 7 Series motherboards. An intuitive network bandwidth control center, the utility makes prioritizing applications and programs by network access and bandwidth possible with a single click. Multiple profiles may be created, for example gaming, file sharing, video streaming, and so on, assuring smoother connections that avoid slowdown even when additional data downloads or uploads in the background. Network iControl also features auto PPoE network detection and setup for faster installation, helping users get online quickly with greater convenience in a single step.

Prepare to be amazed!
They should make jerseys like this. In fact, I've considered wearing one while riding on a very hot day because they fit like a tent, ventilate well, and motorists would be utterly convinced that a maniac was loose.
CycleDog: (n) 1. An all-weather bicyclist, often regarded as one very sick puppy with a bad attitude. 2. A ankle-biting poodle with a Mohawk. (l)Canis familiaris cyclus
Very nice!
I went through an Hawaiian Shirt phase several years ago. I grew out of it. Or rather, I grew out of them.
I've been in this 'phase' for over 25 years, PM. I like them because they're cheaper than work shirts. They're comfortable in hot weather. If I spill paint on one it's hardly noticeable. And they NEVER go out of style!
The simple fact of you buying a new Hawaiian shirt being blogworthy says to me that you need to keep an eye on the red Swingline stapler a bit closer and lose the obsession with a swatch of cloth...
PS: You are behind in your TRS Reports.
I've been eyeballing one that has aircraft from the WWII pacific Theater on it. But it ain't cheap.
Steve, what's a TRS report? You lost me on that one.
PM, I like the nose art shirt, but I agree that the price is stiff. I buy mine from the Goodwill store for five bucks, despite the ugly rumors that I dig them up from landfills. Also, at the end of the season, Kohls discounts them heavily.
The Tulsa Air and Space Museum is on the north end of the airport. Since I have the entire weekend off, maybe I'll stop by there to see if they have any shirts.
I meant "TPS," as in the movie Office Space, which also had Hawaiian Shirt Day.

Sonoma Valley Jazz Band: Spectacular '74
My friend Jeff over at Waxidermy has just posted some clips from a record made by the Sonoma Valley Jazz Band in 1974, and man, it's worth a listen. There's some seriously crazy drums on "Spinning Wheel," and the arrangements are out of this world for a high school band. Who knew this stuff was happening in Sonoma in 1974?
In related news, the Sonoma Jazz+ Festival has announced its lineup for 2009. Count the jazz artists.

Case Study
IMPRESSIONEN is a German catalogue known for offering its readers attractive, high-quality, and exciting fashion, lifestyle, and décor products. Read mostly by women with cutting-edge style and taste, the publishers of IMPRESSIONEN knew they had to reach their target audience through a new and stylish medium — the iPad. To get there, the team commissioned creative agency Kreativdienst who embraced a cross-media concept by ensuring the iPad catalogue reflected the content of the printed catalogue while also linking to the existing Web store. The Kreativdienst team used QuarkXPress and App Studio, which allowed designers – not developers – to produce the richly-designed, interactive, and branded app.

What's New
- Added in-app purchases sharing from Mic Room to VocaLive
- Fixed compatibility with certain USB audio / MIDI peripherals
- General reliability improvements
App Description
VocaLive offers singers and vocalists an expandable suite of 12 real-time professional vocal effects along with a capable recorder for studio-quality sound in a portable package. The effects can be combined into a chain of 4 processors and saved as presets. A collection of up to 50 presets is included to get you up and running immediately.
VocaLive FREE for iPad comes with the Reverb effect, and upon registration with IK Multimedia, the Double effect is also unlocked. Then you can add 10 additional effects à la carte from a selection that includes 4 Vocal Effects: Pitch Fix (for tuning correction or stylized quantization FX), Choir (a 3-part harmonizer), Morph (a formant shifter to change the tonal quality of the voice from subtle deepening to radical gender bending) and De-Esser (to remove sibilance from the voice) plus 6 more Studio Effects: Delay, Parametric EQ, Compressor, Chorus, Phazer and Envelope Filter — that together provide unparalleled creative processing power.
With VocaLive for iPad you can record vocals and instruments, process your recordings with effects, sing along to any song in your iTunes Music library — its Voice Cancel feature lets you practice over the existing vocals — and warm up your voice with its helpful included vocal warm-up tools. VocaLive is an incredible professional vocal effects workstation that you can take with you anywhere.
And now you can also take advantage of VocaLive 2.0's new studio section (available via in-app purchase), which lets you record and edit audio like in a computer DAW. It has an intuitive interface that gives you a detailed waveform visualization (with a time grid and quick undo/redo), touch-and-drag looping, easy punch-in and punch-out recording, a quick per-channel FX enable/disable button and streamlined access to all recording and mixing controls.
For the best quality, use VocaLive on stage with iRig Mic HD, IK's new high-quality handheld digital microphone. But you can also have fun with it and record quick ideas using the built-in microphone on your iPad or earbuds.
VocaLive also supports digital audio input devices so you can use any standard 30-pin/Lightning audio interface.
Use a MIDI interface like iRig MIDI 2 to control your vocal processors "hands-free" with a MIDI floor controller.
VocaLive is Audiobus compatible*; use it with compatible audio apps in any Audiobus Slot.
VocaLive for iPad features:
• Real time vocal processor + recording app
• 4-processor vocal effects chain
• 12 professional studio-quality effects
• Single track recorder expandable to a full 8-track recording studio with master effects section via in-app purchase
• Studio section* (available via in-app purchase) offers DAW-style features: waveform visualization and editing, touch-and-drag looping, normalization, punch-in/punch-out recording and more
• AutoFreeze (allows each track to have its own full effects chain)
• Import and play songs to be used as backing tracks directly from your Music library or computer
• Audiobus support*
• Voice Cancel feature lets you create sing-along backing tracks by removing the vocal track from existing recordings
• Audio Copy/Paste
• 50 presets included with 4 Favorites for fast recall
• Includes metronome and vocal warm-up tools
• MIDI controllable
• Digital Audio Support
• Low-latency for real time vocal processing

To achieve that goal in the face of an explosion of new technologies and new modes of communication presents extraordinary challenges, especially for a large national organization.

Home > News & Events > Wayland Press Release Archives > 2004 News Releases > August 2004 > Summers certified in Birkman Method
Summers certified in Birkman Method
PLAINVIEW - Micheal Summers, director of church services at Wayland Baptist University, returned from Houston this week with his second new certification in as many weeks.
Two weeks ago, Summers received certification as Director of National Inservice Guidance Association which recognizes a leader's ability to direct students going into the ministry and allows them to lead the students through the necessary courses and programs.
In Houston, Summers received his certification in the Birkman Method, a personality and career management profile used for self development, team building, organizational dynamics, conflict resolution and job success.
The Birkman Method has become popular among large corporate offices, including NASA, IBM, Microsoft and the petroleum industry.
"There are more than two million in the database that have taken this test," Summers said. "It has withstood court cases and is very well respected and unchallenged in its validity compared to other tests."
The Baptist General Convention of Texas requires all ministerial students receiving financial assistance at its universities to take the test as part of their career evaluation. Summers said the personality study won't tell students what they need to do as far as a career choice, but will compare their data with others in a database and make suggestions as to where someone with a certain personality type may be most happy and successful. It also plays an important role in team-building exercises and can help enlighten different personality types on how to best handle conflict.
Summers said it has been invaluable in helping ministerial students understand how to deal with a church congregation and staff.
Wayland has been using the test for several years, but was not able to access the Birkman database or interpret the information. That had to be done elsewhere and the results sent back to Wayland. Now, Summers will be able to interpret and present the results.
Not only did the certification process require that Summers take the test and go through the interpretation process, but he also had to take more than 40 hours of additional training and coursework at the Birkman International corporate offices.
According to Summers, the test was designed by a man whose father and grandfather were pastors. As opposed to following in their footsteps, he found that he could help others succeed in what God wanted them to do through psychology, rather than the pulpit.
Summers said Wayland has only begun to tap the potential of using the personality profile. He hopes to see it implemented in other areas of the campus. He also wants to make it available to the area school districts, churches and other organizations.
"This tells you your strengths, needs, how you act under stress . It has 11 different components," Summers said.
The test takes about 40 minutes to complete and the interpretation process takes 1-to-2 hours. Summers said the profile also lends itself to seminars on various career management and conflict issues.
Groups interested in finding out more about how the Birkman Method can benefit them may contact Summers at 806-291-1165.

The Other 26: Week 12Posted by KDoyle on February 4th, 2011
Kevin Doyle is an RTC contributor
Parity is a great thing in sports. Not many enjoy watching a league where one team consistently dominates the competition and all the others are simply happy to compete with the top team. In the West Coast Conference this was the case for years. Gonzaga would roll right on through league play, win the conference championship, and then head onto the NCAA Tournament. Sure the 'Zags would be upset on occasions, but those occasions were few and far between. This year, that is hardly the case in the WCC. St. Mary's is the current leader, but there are a few other teams that are capable of knocking off the Gaels—Portland already has. The WCC is not the only conference where there is parity. How about the wacky Conference USA? It seems that every team in that conference has a shot to win it. The Atlantic 10 and CAA both have a couple teams at the top, but there are several others right below them that are just waiting for the right time to pounce on the top dogs. The MAC is the perfect instance of parity this year. You may call it mediocrity, but you cannot say that 11 teams with records ranging from 3-5 to 6-2 is not parity.
One can argue that parity is essentially synonymous with hope. Fans of every team that is right in the thick of things within their conference have legitimate hope that their guys will pull through and be the last one standing come the conclusion of their conference tournament.

Dust all the way from the Sahara has been coating cars across Derbyshire.
An unusual weather pattern is transporting the red grains thousands of miles from North Africa to Britain.
Drivers in Derbyshire have reported finding the dust, which is dropped from the atmosphere when it rains, on their vehicles.
Nicki Dyer, who sent us the above picture, said: "My car was cleaned yesterday and I was quite shocked at how mucky it was when I came out of work this afternoon.
"I wondered what it was until I saw a post about it on the Derbyshire Times' Facebook page."
Marie Spetch said: "Mine looks like it's been to seaside."
Diane Cullimore said: "My husband washed his car yesterday. He's not happy today!"
Andy Ward said: "I remember this happening when I was a kid in the mid-1980s.
"It was all over my Grandad's white MK1 VW Polo when we went to visit.
"I was in total awe!"
Paul Hutcheon, deputy chief forecaster at the Met Office, said: "We usually see this happen several times a year, particularly in summer when you get these big dust storms in the western Sahara and the southerly winds to bring the particles here."

Environmental groups, Save Our Scenic Area and Friends of the Columbia Gorge filed a lawsuit in reaction to the approval, seeking to have the decision overturned, but the court ruled that there was no basis for the challenge.
Stoel Rives, the law firm representing Whistling Ridge Energy, welcomed the decision and said that it sets a precedent for other projects across the state. There is now nothing stopping the company from going ahead with construction.
The farm will consist of up to 50 1.2MW to 2.5MW turbines with a maximum generating capacity of 75MW and will cover 4.7 square kilometres.
