She followed her childhood love of art and attended New York City's High School of Art and Design. She then began to pursue a degree in fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), but when the major was dropped, she found that fashion illustration was an ideal fit and earned an associate's of applied science degree in Illustration in 1988. To keep her skills honed, she returned to FIT in 1997 to learn about computer art, which she now incorporates into much of her work.
Aside from the creative satisfaction that Ms. Ponce gets from her career, she enjoys the independence and flexibility that running her own business affords her. I especially like the concept stage of creating the work and then bringing it to fruition, she says.
Ms. Ponce & Her Career
Tell us about your career.
I have been a fashion and lifestyle illustrator for over 18 years here in New York City. My style ranges from classic traditional techniques to modern digital design. I have worked on a wide variety of advertising, editorial and licensing assignments for clients worldwide; recent clients include L'Oral, TRESemm, Publicis-USA, Star Magazine, Shecky's Media and Quick and Simple Magazine.
What do you enjoy most about your career? What do you do dislike?
Besides creating beautiful artwork, I enjoy the independence of running my own business. I especially like the concept stage of creating the work and then bringing it to fruition. Of course, that independence comes with a cost; I dislike the constant hunt for new clients as it can take away from creative time.
What has been your greatest success? Setback?
I have had several successes over the years. A recent highlight was being chosen as one of the featured illustrators for The Big Book of Fashion Illustration by Martin Dawber. Not only was I invited to be in the book, but one of my illustrations actually heads the Glamour' section of the book.
My greatest setback was a dip in the fashion illustration industry in the early 90s. It was critical for me to take the steps necessary to remain active in the business as it began to change over time. I had to go back to school to re-train myself in new technology.
What are some favorite projects you've completed and why?
One of my favorite projects was developing a female character as part of a brand identity for a bourbon whiskey brand, 80 Strong. The client was very easy-going and friendly, I had a lot of freedom in creating the artwork, and I got to work alongside my husband (a graphic designer) who developed the look of the packaging. It was a good teamwork project.
What are some of your personal and/or professional goals for the future?
Even after 18 years in the business, I am always looking to develop my style to keep pace with current trends. I am expanding my business to include merchandise and a unique portrait product. I am also developing an art business consulting service to help expand the options for other illustrators and graphic artists who often can't get proper business training from the current art colleges.
Education Information & Advice
Tell us about your education. What is your degree? How did you decide to study in that field?
I graduated with an AAS degree in Illustration from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 1988. Previous to that I studied fashion illustration at the High School of Art & Design in New York City. I have had an interest in art since childhood. My parents allowed me to nurture this talent over the years and I chose to develop it more fully at the high school I chose to attend. Originally, I was studying fashion design, but the major was dropped during my time there. I switched to fashion illustration, which turned out to be the better choice for me.
How has your education benefited your career?
It gave me a solid foundation on how to create and conceptualize. Regardless of the latest technologies and trends, one must know the b asics (color, form, concepts, etc.) to be able to do anything. Mid career, I went back to school (FIT again) and learned everything that I could about computer art. I studied for about two years and came out armed with a lot of new skills to keep me competitive with recent graduates.
What factors should prospective students consider when choosing a school? Are there any different considerations for those who know that they want to specialize in certain areas of the field?
Prospective students should investigate the curriculum and talk to past students of their particular major to see what their perspective of the program is at the schools they are interested in attending.
What can students applying to schools of this kind do to increase their chances of being accepted?
Build a great portfolio. Take summer courses at the college if offered to high school students (or continuing education courses if you're an adult who is already out of school). Do an internship for a summer with a business that is well-known for the industry that you plan on entering. In other words, get experience and document that experience in your portfolio.
Does graduating from a prestigious school make a difference in landing a good job in this field?
In my experience, no. While there are a few art directors and human resources people who are star struck' by certain school names, going to the biggest and most expensive schools doesn't guarantee a great education or fantastic job opportunities. In the field of illustration, I have known artists with degrees from prestigious schools who struggle to make a living, while on the other hand, I see self-taught illustrators who fare quite well. Usually, the artists who do best are those who focus on the quality of skills that they can learn in school (regardless of the school) as well as those who learn to properly promote themselves and to negotiate terms once a job is landed.
The Actual Work
What exactly do you do on a daily basis?
I answer client email and then work on whatever current assignment I have going on. At least twice a week, I put out feelers for new work via the internet/email (less often by phone or snail mail). I also take one day of each week to do administrative work. I try to take weekends off if I am not on a short deadline.
What are the most challenging aspects of your job?
Job hunting (as it is constant) as well as remembering to take time off since I set my own schedule.
What are the greatest stresses in the job? What causes you the most anxiety?
Trying to keep on top of multiple deadlines and trying not to overwork (not taking personal time to recharge).
What are some common myths about your profession and how do they differ from the actual work?
Common myth: Artists are lazy. I work more hours than most people with 9-5 jobs. This is because I run my own business. I am very serious about what I do and want to be sure that my clients get the services that they need.
Common myth: Artists are "flaky." As a service provider, my reputation is at stake whenever I take on a new job. I must ensure that I deliver what I promised in a timely manner and within the guidelines we agreed to. This is why I always use a contract and discuss the project thoroughly with the client at their onset.
Common myth: Artists are lucky to be doing what they do. Just because I enjoy my work does not mean that I should be underpaid for my services. I have many years of training and experience in my field and should be paid accordingly, just as any other professional service provider.
What contributions do you feel your job offers to society as a whole?
I help communicate a client's message and help sell a product. If I help to beautify the advertising/editorial landscape along the way, I guess that's an added perk. Perhaps I help in supporting certain trends as well.
Career Information & Advice
Do you feel that is important for someone to be passionate about this field in order to be successful on both a personal and professional level?
Absolutely. It is a tough field to enter and even harder one in which to make a great living. It is possible, but it's not easy. It is a career that is mostly fueled by a great passion for creating.
What kinds of jobs are available for graduating students in this field? Specialty areas? What are the best ways to get a foot in the door?
There are many opportunities out there for recent grads. Whether you're in a major city or telecommuting, jobs can be found with many companies. Clothing companies, department stores, magazines, small businesses that need graphics these are all potential sources of employment. New artists need to keep in mind that they have to balance the opportunity to get great experience with the opportunity to get better pay. Niche work (specialty areas) can be an option for getting both but can be limited early in a career. You must research the market to see if it's something that will be viable over a good span of time. The best way to get a foot in the door is to work with your school on getting into a good internship before graduation (ideally in your junior and senior year). Alternately, schools often have a good placement department for jobs that are prescreened by the school. It would be advisable to make use of this as soon as it is available to the student.
Closing Remarks
Is there anything else you can tell us about yourself, your career, or the profession that would be interesting or helpful to others aspiring to enter and succeed in the field?
I am all for empowering artists to be successful business people. Too often I hear about illustrators that have ended up in bad business situations either out of ignorance or intimidation. This does not have to happen.
Many of us come out of art colleges with the latest knowledge of technique, medium, and/or software, but with no business sense. Rare is the school that offers art business courses for artists to be successful commercially. To be able to make it in this business requires a combination of both the skills and creativity you have for art and the ability to do business.
I don't believe in the old standard that everyone has to "learn the ropes" the hard way. There are no secrets. Good business practices are just that. Upholding standards will keep you in business. We can have healthy competition for jobs based on talent, skills, style and technique rather than who's the cheapest. We are not in the discount store business.

Despite great advances in solar photovoltaic (PV) technology over the past half-century, it has not been widely adopted for electrical generation. Today only a tiny fraction of U.S. electricity is supplied via solar—well under 0.1 percent in 2009.
The main reason? Cost.
While module costs have come down significantly in the last decade, the "balance of system" costs—all the upfront costs associated with a PV system except the module—remain a barrier to large PV adoption.
In June 2010, Rocky Mountain Institute convened more than 50 industry stakeholders and outside experts to a design charrette. Held in San Jose, California, the event offered a fragmented and multifaceted industry a chance to collaborate on strategies to reduce installed BoS costs for commercial and small utility systems.
Discussions at the charrette identified many opportunities that could offer the potential to reduce balance of system costs to $0.60 - $0.90/watt—a 45 percent to 65 percent reduction over current best practices—in a less-than-five-years timeframe. RMI's report, "Achieving Low-Cost Solar PV: Industry Workshop Recommendations for Near-Term Balance of System Cost Reductions," proposes a number of industry activities to support BoS cost reduction goals through more efficient physical system designs, streamlined business processes, and rapid industry scaling
A dedicated, industry-wide effort is needed now to enable and accelerate cost-reduction opportunities.
With a relatively young industry and no silver-bullet technology solution, reducing BoS costs is a challenge. Each PV system has unique characteristics, must be individually designed, and is regulated by one of nearly 30,000 local jurisdictions.
Yet many near-term opportunities for cost reduction do exist, primarily related to improving technology, more appropriate regulations, better information and economies of skill and scale.
Listen to RMI and industry experts discuss report findings and recommendations.
Press Call
(Running time: 52 minutes)
RMI is collaborating with several stakeholders across the BoS value chain, including the U.S. Department of Energy, PV developers, and BoS component manufacturers, to increase awareness of cost reduction opportunities.
In addition, RMI is working with SolarTech to address the current lack of quantitative knowledge of business process costs, which vary substantially by project size, location, ownership and project phase. Additional analysis of these costs will help solar industry stakeholders align incentives for cost reduction.
Looking beyond the charrette effort, additional cost reductions will be needed to drive the ongoing growth of the solar industry. To reduce solar PV power prices toward future targets ($0.50/watt and below), innovative BoS approaches will be necessary.
Listen to RMI and industry experts review the solar balance of systems report and charrette findings. (Note: choose "Playback")

Heavy rain forecast for today didn't hit Boulder County in the afternoon, but a late thunderstorm is dousing Boulder and the foothills.
Boulder County's Office of Emergency Management was open over the weekend to track the storms. Boulder County's western mountain communities were under flash flood warnings today for the fourth consecutive day. The flash flood warning is in effect until midnight.
Mike Chard, director of the Boulder Office of Emergency Management, said the thunderstorms stayed north and south of Boulder County this afternoon, leaving the area quiet. But starting around 6:30 p.m., a thunderstorm settled over the county with the potential of a fourth-an-inch to an inch of rain in 10 to 40 minutes, according to police dispatchers.
The heavy rain is causing "nuisance flooding" on Broadway near Canyon, according to dispatchers. Water also was three-feet deep under the pedestrian bridge at Broadway and Pearl.
Monday, Chard said, there's a possibility of afternoon thunderstorms, but the downpours that cause flooding are less likely. The forecast for the rest of the week calls for warmer, drier weather.
"This flow of moisture is supposed to be drying out by the end of the week," he said.
The National Weather Service predicts a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms with a high near 79 on Monday. The high temperature is expected to steadily increase through the week, with a high near 97 forecast for Friday.
On Saturday, rainstorms pounded Boulder County, with an estimated 2.5 inches falling in Nederland in one hour, and about 1.04 inches falling in Boulder. The storms brought on a flash flood warning, with high creek waters and some minor street flooding reported in Boulder itself.
In the foothills, Lefthand Canyon Road was closed between Olde Stage Road and James Canyon Drive for about 2 1/2 hours Saturday evening after a pair of rockslides occurred spread debris over the roadway
Officials are particularly concerned about the Fourmile and High Park burn areas. The area is susceptible to flash flooding because it lacks healthy vegetation to absorb some of the precipitation.

Let the little homie kick it in the auto-shop with us
Long as he can make store runs and keep his mouth shut
Same way I came up, all my triple O's was hood famous
Nice guy surrounded by wolves wild/dangerous
That's where I gained this cool!
Walk this talk, you trying to duplicate and make twos
All you do is make fools of yourselves
Underground jewels, Chester Cobblepot, waddling in the wishing well
Evidence niggas done fell trying to get close to the jet-code
But it will never be deciphered by a rookie pilot
That's why I sit opposite the driver, '63 Impala
Bad bitch, chain steering wheel guidance
I'm out the window sky watching
Plotting as usual, that's what I'm doing when I quiet
Can't remember shorty name, but she had that loud pack
That other night in Tallahassee, and I thank her for that
Fine freaky sending snaps with her legs behind her back
In the wee hours of the morning, picture mailing that she horny
But love, I'm tryna fuck with this money
[Hook - Curren$y]
We bust raps like D boys bust Gats
We the type of people that don't bury the ax
Hold up!
We bust raps like D boys bust Gats
We're the type of people Cutlass, Monte Carlos, Regals
We bust raps like we bust these gats
We're the type of people that don't bury the ax
Hold up!
We bust raps like we bust these gats
We're the type of people Chevies and GMC's
[Verse 2 - Prodigy]
Fuck it, it's the life of a shooting star, gotta move smart
Can't get caught slipping, they all wanna see me fall
Take my punches like a trooper, take my losses like a man
It come with the territory, take the good with the bad
Throw the dice, watch 'em tumble, where they land, so be it
Everything is not strategic, sometimes we risk our life
Sometimes we risk our love, our money, and our freedom
That bullshit we feed it, to see if you gonna eat it
In New York, we manipulate naive dummies
We beat you on the head, it's just game we be running sometime
But most of the time, we don't play
They can't figure us out, we like it that way
The road to the riches so long our feet catch blisters
All these crabs in the bucket, pull you down trying to get up
Every man for theyself, every woman want bags and shoes
We the type of people that'll find you

Lately every single MOC I am seeing is on a SNOT base, covered in SNOT even where it seems weird to see SNOT. For those of you still not in the know about the term SNOT, its studs not on the top. Basically, we are talking you see no studs.
I was talking to a buddy AFOL about this just today, because I'm beginning to think people are building SNOT because they think showing studs is a n00bish thing to do. Or is it becoming the n00bish thing to do to build SNOT bases for every single MOC?
Some contests are requiring studs up bases, including the one Aliencat and I ran. Why? So the judges can count the studs to see if your creation fits within the contest rules. But every single time this rule exists, the judges get a whole bunch of negativity about not being able to build SNOT.
I use SNOT sometimes myself, but primarily for floors to rooms (but only when I have a cool carpet design incorporated), water, roads, sidewalks and for sand under the sea. All times when I like having a smooth surface.
This is LEGO. Studs are beautiful and part of the brick!
Now to close with my question:
When building and planning a new MOC, when and what do you think should be SNOT and what shouldn't?

|What are those mission bells I see on the 101 Freeway?
The bells have been in place since the early part of the century to mark the original route of "El Camino Real" from San Diego to Sonoma. The 700-mile-long El Camino Real linked California's 21 missions, which were founded by Father Junipero Serra and spaced one day's journey apart by horse. Over the years the El Caminio Real gave way to modern highways, primarily Routes 101 and 82. The bells were first paid for and erected by the El Camino Real Association in the early 1900s. Originally there were about 450 bells along El Camino Real, but because of theft and vandalism the number dwindled to about 75. In response, the Legislature appointed Caltrans as guardian of the bells in 1974, responsible for repairing or replacing them. Replacements are made of concrete, rather than cast iron, to discourage theft. The bells are located in the following counties: Los Angeles, Ventura, San Benito, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, San Mateo and Santa Clara. A mission bell exhibit is a permanent part of the Ventura County Museum of History and Art, complete with original cast-iron bells donated by Caltrans.

In 2005 Congress authorized funding for the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA), a grant program designed to retrofit or replace the approximately 11 million older diesel engines most likely to impact health. Included in those local projects across all 50 states were long- and short-haul trucks and off-road equipment.
Clean Construction USA is a voluntary program that promotes the reduction of diesel exhaust emissions from construction equipment and vehicles. The program's goal is to retrofit, rebuild or replace approximately two million diesel engines in the construction sector by 2014.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel filed a strong protest with the British government after the UK ambassador in Lebanon, Tom Fletcher, stated that the inclusion of Hezbollah's military wing on the European Union's list of terrorist organizations had nothing to do with Hezbollah's "resistance" against Israel.
Flether made his remarks in an interview with Al-Monitor in Lebanon following the EU's decision last month to finally include the military wing of Hezbollah in its list of terror organizations, a step most Arab states had taken long ago.
According to Fletcher: "The [EU] decision is not intended to harm the resistance, as clarified by [Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah." The term "resistance" is a typical regional code word for terrorist activity against Israel.
Jerusalem was outraged by the remarks, which it said had granted legitimacy to Hezbollah's past and future attacks targeting Israeli civilians.
Israeli Ambassador to the UK Daniel Taub met with senior British government officials to personally deliver Israel's statement of protest. However, the British unceremoniously rejected the Israeli protest, insisting that "Fletcher is a very experienced ambassador, and there was no support for resistance operations against Israel in his remarks."
In Jerusalem, the British response was viewed as totally unacceptable.

The creators of the sparkling Fairytale Hairdresser series wave their wands again to conjure up an exciting adventure series which is designed to educate as well as entertain.

In charge of the shop is Grandpa, the Potions Master, who is 99 years old and so powerful that he can mix a potion to make you six metres tall, or a work up a mixture to make Brussels sprouts taste like ice cream.
Tibben, the young apprentice, thinks his Grandpa is wonderful and one day he wants to be the Potions Master. But there is lots to learn first and his apprenticeship is set to be monstrously difficult…

Talented author and illustrator Alex Latimer gives dog-mad youngsters some paws for thought in this fun and funny illustrated story about a messy but lovable pet in need of a strong hand and a warm heart.
Buster is a very difficult dog… he's messy, naughty and sometimes, well, just disgusting. But Ben thinks his misbehaving pet is the best dog ever. So when Ben goes on holiday with Mum and Dad, he tries to write down everything to help his Grampa look after Buster. There are so many instructions about what Buster likes to eat, where he likes to go and what to do if the tearaway terrier gets lost that Ben forgets the most important thing of all. Will Grampa survive and why is he making notes for Ben?
Using gentle humour, brilliant artwork and some amazing escapades, Latimer shows youngsters that owning a dog is no walk in the park, with training and care just as important as having fun together.

Mocking Blackout Reactions Is Too Easy: Let's Learn From Them Instead
from the stupidity-online?-well-I-never! dept
Unsurprisingly, yesterday's Wikipedia blackout caused a lot of reaction on Twitter. The whole point of a move like this is to shock people, get their attention, and make them start asking questions—and the primary target is those who don't already know about the issue at hand. So it's also unsurprising that some of the reactions were pretty damn stupid. And since there's nothing the internet likes more than making fun of stupid people, it's once again unsurprising that a few different sources decided to catalogue and mock them.
@herpderpedia sprung up to retweet the various freak-outs and desperate pleas of stymied users—mostly students. There's a lot of misdirected anger, with people blaming Obama or denouncing Wikipedia, and a lot of general ignorance: many thought the site had already been shuttered forever, or that the blackout itself was mandated by congress. And since memes are always in their fifth stage of irony for some people while others have yet discover them, there are also quite a few tweets that look like parodies.
But what I see most of all are questions. People are asking why? in huge numbers, and that's fantastic. Granted, a lot of them are directing their questions to the wrong people, and it's not as if all of them are going to use this as a starting point to genuinely learn more about these issues. But some will. And you can bet they'll all be paying more attention to SOPA/PIPA now—not to mention any future legislation that sparks chatter about Wikipedia's Black Wednesday.
Some will say they shouldn't be asking when the blackout page provides plenty of information, but when you look closer you see that several tweets complain about complicated language and unclear explanations, and most are just shouts of extreme frustration (remember, these are all people with a looming deadline on some other project). More importantly, this speaks of broader themes online: people have two primary means of finding information now—search and social—and when one fails, they go to the other. When you want fast facts you Google something then click through to Wikipedia, but when you have a more immediate human need borne of panic—OMG OMG OMG OMG WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO WIKIPEDIA? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME? Omg [actual tweet]—you turn to your social circles.
But it's the internet, and there will be mockery, and that's fine. I just hope the mockers realize that this isn't like when Kim Jong Il died and some Twitter users thought it was Lil Kim (that was both less excusable and more hilarious). Beneath the surface idiocy, most of these people have been nudged in the right direction by Wikipedia's blackout, even if only slightly—and their reactions provide a lot of insight if you can resist taking the potshots, most of which are too easy anyway.
Now that's out of the way, here are some easy potshots at tweets:
fuck jimmy wales. fuck him and fuck wikipedia. dickhead my works taking ages to do now cos i goota go on so many wesbits.wt a prick.'protest [What sort of company employs a quasi-illiterate to surf Wikipedia all day? I'm genuinely curious]
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? WHY AM I THE LAST TO KNOW WIKIPEDIA IS BLOCKED! I BE ON THERE DAILY!!! [I like that she is less annoyed about losing Wikipedia than she is about the fact nobody told her. I've often thought SOPA/PIPA supporters are just mad because they were the last to find out about free movies.]
I will cry if they shut down Wikipedia forever.. :'( [Why, because you won't be able to look up "sissy"?]
WHY THE FUCK IS MY WIKIPEDIA BEING A BLACK ONE I DIDNT WANT THAT OH GOD IM SO MAD [Swap "Wikipedia" with "President" and this would be the perfect redneck tweet]
I think Wikipedia planned this shit. [Really? I figured it was a typo.]
Gay no Wikipedia!? I was about to search something fucking bitch.. ["The page 'Something fucking bitch' does not exist. You can ask for it to be created, but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered." Incidentally, the first result is "Flavor of Love (season 1)"]

"Stretching The Imagination"
by Chet Raymo
"Professor, that stuff you spoke of in class this morning- about the beginning of the universe..."
"Well, you know how you said that the universe began 14 billion years ago as an infinitely small point...?"
Yes, that appears to be the case. An explosion from a point of infinite energy. Space and time expanding from nothing. Matter coalescing from cooling radiation. Stars, galaxies...
"To tell the truth, I'm having a hard time believing it. I mean, the idea that everything that exists today, the billions and billions of galaxies, stars and planets, life, everything, was contained within something no bigger than a pinprick. I mean, come on...do you really expect me to swallow that?"
You will recall that I listed some pretty convincing evidence: The galaxies are racing apart, as from a primordial explosion; the amount of hydrogen and helium in the universe is just what theory predicts for a Big Bang beginning; and, not least, we see the flash of the Big Bang in every direction of space, with precisely the predicted spectrum.
"Yeah, I know. I understand most of that stuff. But I keep coming back to the idea of the whole universe contained within a pinprick. I mean, it's impossible to imagine."
It is difficult to imagine, I'll grant you. But not impossible. Mathematically, it can be described exactly. Mathematics is a big help to the imagination.
"It sounds impossible."
Let me tell you a story. More than 2,000 years ago in Alexandria, Egypt, there were two fellows, named Eratosthenes and Aristarchus. They were excellent mathematicians. Eratosthenes was a geographer. He imagined that the Earth was a sphere. He figured out how to measure the size of the sphere by using shadows cast by the Sun at Alexandria and another place down the valley of the Nile. He used some mathematics that at the time was pretty advanced stuff- geometry, trig.
He calculated the size of the Earth and got it nearly dead-on, without ever leaving Alexandria. That's what I mean about mathematics being an aid to the imagination. Then Aristarchus used the size of the Earth to figure out the sizes and distances of the Sun and the Moon. He observed eclipses of the Moon, and measured the time it takes the moon to move through the shadow of the Earth. Then he did some high-powered mathematics with circles and triangles. According to his calculations, the Sun is many times bigger than the Earth.
Aristarchus told his fellow Alexandrians about his discovery. If the Earth is the size of a grape, he may have said, then the Sun is the size of a melon. They laughed. Any fool can see that the Sun is tiny compared to the vast, wide Earth. Why, for heaven's sake, one can cover up the Sun with the tip of one's little finger, but travel across the Earth for weeks without ever leaving Egypt. The Sun bigger than the Earth? No way, it was simply impossible to imagine.
"But. .."
And Aristarchus got one crucial observation wrong, through no fault of his own. In fact, the relative sizes of the Earth and Sun are more like a grape and a washing machine, something every school child accepts today. The moral of the story is- the "impossible" can turn out to be true.
"But the whole universe contained within a pinprick? It violates common sense."
Einstein once said that common sense is the collection of prejudices we acquire by age 18. I'm not telling you to believe the Big Bang if you don't want to, but keep your options open. One generation's impossibility often turns out to be the next generation's common sense.
"You're asking me to take it on faith?"
Yes, on faith. But not on blind faith. As we saw this morning in class, there is impressive observational evidence. The calculations are based on Einstein's general theory of relativity, which has many important successes to its credit. Then there's the record of success by the successors of Eratosthenes and Aristarchus. Just think of all the scientific discoveries that were thought to be nonsense in their time. The Earth going around the Sun. The evolution of life over bilions of years. Continents drifting and colliding. A chemical blueprint for a human being in the DNA of a single microscopic cell. And besides, it's a wonderful, wonderful story- a universe unfolding from a mathematical point!
"Yeah, it's a wonderful story, all right. But..."
"But I still don't believe it."

As you may know, not fueling up with the right nutrients can affect how well your body performs and your overall fitness benefits. Even though healthy eating is important, there are myths that hinder your performance if you listen to them.
Below, you'll find some myth busters on healthy eating.
1. Working out on an empty stomach.
If you hear a rumbling noise in your stomach, the rumbling is trying to tell you something. Without listening to them, you are forcing your body to run without any fuel. Before you exercise or do any physical activity, always eat a light snack such as an apple.
2. Relying on energy bars and drinks.
Although they are fine every once in a while, they don't deliver the antioxidants you need to prevent cancer. Fruits and vegetables are your best bets, as they are loaded in vitamins, minerals, fluid, and fiber.
3. Skipping breakfast.
Skipping breakfast is never a good idea, as breakfast starts the day. Your body needs fuel as soon as possible, and without it, you'll be hungry throughout the day.
4. Low carb diets.
Your body needs carbohydrates for your muscles and the storing of energy.
5. Eating what you want.
Eating healthy and exercising doesn't give you an all access pass to eat anything you want. Everyone needs the same nutrients whether they exercise or not, as well as fruits and vegetables.
6. Not enough calories
Although losing weight involves calories, losing it too quickly is never safe. What you should do, is aim for 1 - 2 pounds a week. Always make sure that you are getting enough calories to keep your body operating smoothly. If you start dropping weight too fast, eat a bit more food.
7. Skip soda and alcohol.
Water, milk, and juice is the best to drink for active people. You should drink often, and not require on thirst to be an indicator. By the time you get thirsty, your body is already running a bit too low.
Changing how you eat is always a great step towards healthy eating and it will affect how your body performs. The healthier you eat, you better you'll feel. No matter how old you may be, healthy eating is something you should strive for. Once you give it a chance, you'll see in no time at all just how much it can change your life - for the better.
Changing How You Eat
As you may know, not fueling up with the right nutrients can affect how well your body performs and your overall fitness benefits. Even though healthy eating is important, there are myths that hinder your performance if you listen to them.

Wahlberg and Ted's summer comedy is the highest-grossing, R-rated original comedy of all time. It was directed and written by Seth MacFarlane, the host of this year's Oscar ceremony. MacFarlane also provides the voice of Ted.

Other studies have examined whether bald men -- mostly white bald men -- are at higher risk. Some studies suggested a relationship, but the results are not clear-cut. Charnita Zeigler-Johnson, a Penn epidemiologist, decided to focus on African American men because they have a 50 to 60 percent higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer than white men and are twice as likely to die of it. The study compared 318 African American men with prostate cancer to 219 healthy African American controls. It looked at whether they had early-onset balding -- before age 30 --and whether they had receding hairlines or thinning at the crown of the head. It was published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. The Penn team found that balding men were 69 percent more likely to have prostate cancer. Men with frontal baldness alone -- not the more typical male-pattern baldness in the front and at the crown -- were more than twice as likely to have been diagnosed with advanced cancer. The relationships with frontal baldness was even stronger for men who were diagnosed before the age of 60 and had high-stage or high-grade cancers. As for how baldness and prostate cancer are connected, she said that is mysterious as well. One possibility is that a metabolite of testosterone contributes to both prostate cancer and hair thinning. In general, she said, baldness is less common in African Americans than Caucasians. By age 30, 26 percent of white men have lost some hair, compared to 16 percent of African Americans. However, African American men are more likely to lose hair only in front. Ziegler-Johnson said it's too early to know whether a balding African American man should undergo extra screening. "We need to confirm it in another study," she said. "This is the first one." Contact staff writer Stacey Burling at 215-854-4944 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

ZELIENOPLE — Early Thursday morning, a woman reported herself to borough police for a crime she can't remember committing.
The 22-year-old unidentified female offender sent her confession via email to borough police at around 3 a.m., admitting her offense and saying police could come and arrest her.
The woman's crime: the destruction of a fiberglass statue at St. Gregory's Cemetery.
She called 911 at 6:30 a.m. to again report the offense.
The woman told police she was intoxicated at the time of the incident and does not remember the crime, but she believed she was responsible for the damage.
Borough Police Chief Jim Miller said despite her offer to be arrested, he does not believe her actions were intentionally malicious and that if any charge is filed it'd likely be a criminal mischief citation at most.
"She has some personal problems," Miller said. "A couple family members died recently, and she was intoxicated."

In New York City, construction, demolition and abatement operations are primarily regulated by the Department of Buildings, Department of Environmental Protection, and Fire Department. Depending on the nature of the work, building owners and contractors must receive permits from and be inspected by some combination of these three agencies.
In order to enhance the regulation, oversight, and safety of construction, demolition, and abatement activities, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg issued a comprehensive report (1,145 kb) on these activities, including 33 recommendations (1,145 kb) developed by the Construction, Demolition, and Abatement Working Group chaired by Deputy Mayor Edward Skyler and comprised of the Fire Department (FDNY), the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the Department of Buildings (DOB), and the Law Department.
The following link will bring you to a Guidance Document which provides a tutorial for contractors and the general public that contains simplified instructions on how to navigate through the new regulations and ARTS filing format.
The following departments oversee and regulate construction, demolition and abatement activities:
Buildings issues permits for construction and demolition activities in the City of New York. The department inspects plans and sites to verify that appropriate protocols are followed.
FDNY issues permits for hazardous materials, some of which may be in use on construction and demolition sites. In addition, uniformed and non-uniformed members of FDNY inspect construction and demolition sites to ensure compliance with fire safety standards.
DEP oversees and inspects asbestos abatement activities throughout the City, whether conducted independently of or in association with construction or demolition activities.

Olivia Galati fans her way to Player of the Week honors
OKLAHOMA CITY --- Olivia Galati (West Babylon, N.Y.) has been named the USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Week for April 1-7, the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America and USA Softball announced today. The Hofstra senior tossed two no-hitters, including a perfect game, to help the Pride finish the week with a 6-1 record.
"It's a great honor to win such a prestigious award," said Galati. "I appreciate the consideration, and I'd like to thank my teammates and coaches. I would not have been able to win it without them."
On the week, Galati posted a 4-1 record with a save while throwing two no-hitters (including a six-inning perfect game) while allowing just one run in the entire week. The West Babylon native racked up 62 strikeouts over the course of 36 innings of work, which calculates to 1.7 strikeouts per inning. She finished the week with a 0.19 ERA. Galati also performed in the batter's box, hitting .333 at the plate with four runs scored and three RBI.
"It's a great honor and a privilege to have Olivia put in the company of the best players in the country," said head coach Bill Edwards. "We're proud of Olivia and it's great to see her recognized for her contributions to our program. It's rewarding to see her hard work and dedication lead to such a prestigious award."
This is the first USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Week honor for Galati and the first Player of the Week honors for Hofstra University.

NEWARK, N.J.—Federal prosecutors in New Jersey say a former Army employee who pocketed nearly $4 million in kickbacks has been sentenced to 13 years in prison.
Nazareth, Pa., resident John Alfy Salama Markus worked for the Army Corps of Engineers in Iraq.
Authorities say he took bribes from two men who worked with companies seeking U.S. contracts in Iraq. They say in exchange he provided them with confidential bid and pricing information.
The companies were awarded more than $50 million in contracts.
Authorities say Salama Markus transferred the money from foreign banks to accounts in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. They say he built a $1.1 million house in Pennsylvania with it.
Salama Markus pleaded guilty to wire fraud, money laundering and failing to file a U.S. Treasury report. He was sentenced Tuesday.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
EDITOR'S NOTE: "The Chutzpa!" is a new satire column written by accomplished Israeli Messianic satirist Tal Lecks. Please note that the content of this article is fictional, and is meant as a light-hearted way of looking at the very real threats surrounding us.
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas is finally ready to launch his long-awaited return to the stage. Sponsored by the State of Israel, Abbas will be going on tour across Europe, performing such hits as 'Like 72 Virgins', 'Al-Quds, Al-Quds' and 'Hit Me Bibi One More Time.'
Abbas stated in a recent interview that he is unfazed by rumors of him lip-syncing in concert, while back-up band Hamas are doing the actual singing. Unlike singer Lenny Kravitz, who recently canceled his show in Israel, Abbas said that he would be happy to perform in Jerusalem, but refused to guarantee that he would leave the city after the show.
Abbas' band, The PLOs, started as a folk band led by renowned performer Yasser Arafat, known best for his ability to use completely different lyrics for the same song depending on whether he was singing in Arabic or English. Abbas began his career playing bass for The PLOs, never aspiring to much more, but Arafat's sudden death and the imprisonment of popular guitarist Marwan Barghouti forced the dutiful Abbas to take the lead.
Music critics all agree that Abbas' ascendance resulted in a subtle shift in the band's musical genre from folk to country.
Abbas and The PLOs are performing now in a town near you!
Tal Lecks' commentaries will become a weekly feature on the Israel Today website, and he will be writing a full satire column in our print magazine. Don't miss out - Subscribe Now!

Almost as important as the swimsuit (and generally eminently more wearable) is the cover-up. We love them because they make the long walk from the beach chair to the bathhouse soooooooo much less cringe-inducing.
A tip? Try on your cover-up to make sure it's long enough, roomy enough, and cut right so that you are comfortable in it—cool colors and fluid shapes make for the most chic beach/pool cover-ups this season, and getting them for less is tres easy. That's French for no-brainer. Check out our picks for six great beach cover ups.
The Caftan Beach Cover Up
The Caftan cover up is the easiest cover up to wear because it can double as a regular dress (which is good when you go from pool to restaurant back to pool). Just make sure you keep it classy- avoid cover ups that look like nightgowns.
ASOS CURVE Scarf Dress In Fluro Animal Print, $47.64 at ASOS
Embroidered Kimono Cover Up, $21.80 at Forever 21
Splurge: "St. Johns" Cocoon Swim Coverup Caftan- Green Multi, $73.50 at Monif C
The Tunic Beach Cover Up
The tunic cover up is the most versatile (and most budget-friendly) because you can pair it with a pair of shorts and/or a skirt- or you could just wear it as a dress.
LOFT Beach Border Print Swimsuit Cover Up, $69.50 at LOFT
Women's Embroidered Gauze Cover-Ups, $29.94 at Old Navy
Double-V Lace Cover-up, $63.50 at Victoria's Secret

Designers & N00bz: The Rails Advantage?
There's very interesting research referenced in this book which indicates that adding new members to a group can actually make the group smarter even if the new members are less well-informed than the existing members:
Scott Page is a political scientist at the University of Michigan who has done a series of intriguing experiments using computer-simulated problem-solving agents to demonstrate the positive effects of diversity...what Page found was that a group made up of some smart agents and some not-so-smart agents almost always did better than a group made up just of smart agents. You could do as well or better by selecting a group randomly and letting it solve the problem as by spending a lot of time trying to find the smart agents and then putting them alone on the problem.
There are qualifiers to this, it's important to read the whole book, but it's pretty easy to generalize it out to real life. Rails makes it very easy for people to get started, so much so that it draws in people who've never done programming before. Even though this results in individual applications sucking a little extra, it makes the Rails ecosystem smarter as a whole.
2 comments:
This might explain why the popular languages like C, C++, and Java are popular: They bring in smart people (designers) who structure the technology to fit an objective, some smart coders who actually know what they're doing in the language, and then a bunch of less skilled programmers who think the language is the greatest, but produce code that takes several tries to get right, or at best is inefficient.ReplyDelete
What I suspect is going on is that the less skilled programmers are there for what they consider to be the merits of the language and the technology (when the going is good you get a lot of 'em who are just there for the money), but the designers are just there to do business and structure the technology and think it's neat that technology is along for the ride. "It's just a box" to them. They don't care that much about the technology's merits. The skilled programmers probably know better about the technology's merits, but they're working in language X for the money (though in some cases the language's merits actually fit well with the technical objectives).
I suspect the reason why RoR may ultimately rise in the Pantheon of successful languages/frameworks is that it has the VB quality of getting something up and running quickly (please note I am trying to pay it a compliment here). This is the part the less skilled coders can work on. At the same time it allows the skilled programmers to really take advantage of the language and Rails to produce tight code that does the meaty stuff well. Where the designers fit in, I don't know. I guess they can still put logic into modules and structures, and work with the templates to produce nice looking web pages (whichever designer you're talking about).
As you were saying earlier, there's enough that's familiar in Rails so that programmers of any stripe can pick it up. They just have to get used to the "duck typing".
I think this is where languages like Lisp didn't work out. It didn't work like Rails so that unskilled programmers could get into it. There's a high barrier to entry. Skilled developers can potentially get it, but there are fewer of them, and even among them there are only a few who bother to look at it and try to understand it.
I think pretty much the same goes for Squeak, but I think it's more approachable than Lisp. It has some basis of familiarity for those who can handle OOP. It also has a barrier to entry, but I think that has more to do with accessibility of documentation and the fact that many feel limited by its facilities, but this is due to lack of familiarity.
It goes back to the marketing problem you were talking about.

You can read Scott Page's thoughts on the wisdom of crowds (he goes a lot deeper than the Surowiecki) in his book, "The Difference," which was just published this past spring.ReplyDelete

I brought to the party this surefire hit: lemon-marinated shrimp. A few party-goers asked for the recipe, but when I went to look for it on epicurious, the recipe was scaled to a yield of 50 (!!!) and called for 10 lbs. of shrimp. Here's an easier version, a variation on the one in the Gourmet cookbook, which is where I discovered it in the first place.
Three cheers to twitter and to Kate and the joy of the rainy Sunday food swap.
Lemon-Marinated Shrimp
1 large lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds (toasted and then ground)
3 T white-wine vinegar
1 T olive oil
1 T water
1 T sugar
2 t dried red chili flakes
1 T plus 2 1/2 t kosher salt
2 T pickling spices (bay leaf, celery seed, mustard seed, clove, etc.)
1 lb. large shrimp, shelled and deveined (tail can be left on, if you like)
Zest and juice the lemon. Whisk together zest, juice, coriander, vinegar, oil, water, sugar, chile flakes, and 1 T kosher salt in a large bowl until sugar and salt are dissolved.
Bring a pot of water to a boil with pickling spices and remaining salt, and cook shrimp 60-90 seconds, or until just cooked through. Drain. Add warm shrimp to marinade, tossing to coat.
Cool shrimp slightly and put in large sealable plastic bag with marinade. Marinate, chilled, turning bag occasionally, at least 8 and up to 24 hours.

RBI Baseball to make 2014 return to video game consoles
R.B.I. Baseball is coming back this spring.
A website was launched on MLB.com that proclaimed R.B.I. Baseball 14 will be released spring 2014 for "current and next generation consoles and mobile devices."
There's also a Facebook page and Twitter account set up.
R.B.I. Baseball was originally developed by Namco for the Nintendo Entertainment System in Japan in 1986. There were several sequels of the game, with the last being R.B.I. Baseball '95 for the Sega 32X.

I've also applied the same to my children, to a degree. I'm still a parent. I still control how they dress, behave, where they go and such. I still raise them right and don't let them make bad decision, but I don't control things in their life like religion. My oldest does go to church. That is his choice. The other two will have the same choice when they are older.
The photos are of me and my brother.Life wasn't all bad though. In our religion we were not allowed to have a TV, so we became a stronger family as a result. We did things together more than most families of my time. We would get in the car and go for drives. Discover old sites that had long been forgotten. It is because of the religion that I grew to love history which I still have a passion for today. I wasn't allowed to read fiction, so I only read biographies of real peoples lives. To me it was as great of entertainment as any other. And I will give it credit for making us a very strong family.

L.A. Reid to Remain with 'X-Factor' for Season 2
After the surprised firings of 'X Factor' host Steve Jones and judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul, the Hollywood Reporter has revealed that L.A. Reid will stay on as a judge for Season 2.
Citing a well-placed source, the CEO of Epic Records signed his option deal on Friday (Feb. 3), just days after the reality show's shocking exits. There's still no word on who will join Reid and Simon Cowell on the judge's panel.
Rumor has it that Katy Perry and Mariah Carey are in talks to join the 'X Factor.' Since Perry is a divorcée she has a lot of time on her hands. As for Carey, she has expressed interest but nothing has panned out. There was also a rumor that Beyonce was being considered to join the 'X Factor' but THR says it's not true.
In any case, L.A. Reid was a standout on the show who had no problem expressing his opinion and wisdom to contestants. In fact, some of critiques were harsher than the ones given by the show's biggest meanie Mr. Cowell.
In addition, Reid has signed to Epic Records 'X Factor' (Season 1) winner Melanie Amaro and contestants Chris Rene and rapper Astro. He also snagged Cher Lloyd from the British version of the 'X Factor.' So clearly, he is dipping into the X Factor's talent pool.
What do you think? Who should be on the judge's panel of the 'X Factor'? Tell us in the comments below.
