The Tribune-Star
Second-graders' eyes and minds function differently.
They see the future unjaded. Their possibilities stand tall, not yet choked by the adult weeds of prejudice and bitterness.
Jeff Lorick hears the wisdom of second-graders every school year. Enjoys it. Immensely.
"It gives me hope," Lorick said of the annual Vigo County Second Grade Writing Cadre. The contest invites kids from all 18 local elementary schools to pen their own promises to extend kindness to others, despite their differences. Grownups could benefit from the youngsters' wisdom.
In the 2012 contest, the students first studied Dr. Seuss' "Sneetches." The book, a satire of discrimination, features one group of Sneetches born with a green star on their bellies initially shunning those without. A money-maker creates a star-on-the-belly machine, disrupting the prejudiced social order, and the Sneetches eventually realize the insanity of their behavior.
Then the kids wrote their pledges. A sampling of the finalists follows:
"I pledge to treat everybody the way I want to be treated. If they do not have a friend I would be [their] friend. I will never say mean things to anybody."
"I pledge to treat everybody equally and treat people the way I want to be treated. I would be respectful. I will teach them the rules and speak kindly."
"I pledge to treat people nicely. I wouldn't [judge] others' ideas. I wouldn't [judge] anyone [on] how they look. I would respect others' ideas and how they look."
Unjaded and unconditional.
"The innocence and the acceptance are the two things that stand out," Lorick said of the second-graders' words in the contest, now in its seventh year.
Talking to classrooms full of children every year has been a highlight of Lorick's role as executive director of the Terre Haute Human Relations Commission ever since he took over that position in October 2007. The 53-year-old businessman will visit five elementaries this week. As founder and proprietor for 30 years of Jeff's Family Hair Care shop on North 13th Street, Lorick likes to talk with the kids about their various haircut styles.
It reminds them of differences they see but also accept.
Lorick is inspired "to hear how those second-graders are willing to embrace differences, and if we could keep that momentum going in their lives, that would be great."
His job involves that momentum. It can get short-circuited when kids learn prejudices from their elders.
"People are a product of their environment," Lorick said. "And, sometimes communities are isolated; there isn't much diversity. So you have to look for diversity in other areas, and it's there."
The city formed the commission to handle issues of discrimination, inclusion and civil rights in employment, housing, finance, education and public accommodation, Lorick explained. Its mission, as stated on the city website, also aims for "valuing diversity and promoting harmony among all people" by enforcing the local human rights ordinance, eliminating equality barriers and educating the public.
Through six-plus years, the positives outweigh the negatives in the community's response to those standards.
"The minuses have been so few," Lorick said. "In terms of real inflammatory racial issues, those have been few in number — three or four."
Problems arise here, as with any city, though. In the fall of 2007, a noose — a symbol of racial hatred — was found in a tree on the Indiana State University campus. The response by the university, leaders of student groups and the city resulted in a town hall meeting that drew more than 400 people to the Hulman Memorial Student Union, where people were allowed to ask questions, voice concerns. Student leaders urged classmates to maintain calm. ISU officials vowed to provide forums for open dialogue and to make the campus "a stronger, more tolerant university."
The response allowed people to better understand each other, what hurts and what helps.
Lorick goes to the ISU campus next month for a different reason, one he looks forward to every March — the annual Human Rights Day observance. The theme of the March 26 program is the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women. "We're still talking about equality issues for women in 2013," Lorick said, emphasizing the need for vigilance.
The current month of February serves as Black History Month, an observance enacted by President Ford in 1976 to raise awareness of African-Americans' contributions to the nation. The process continues today as a work in progress. "This community has made great strides in the area of race," Lorick said. "We still have a lot of room to grow in the areas of sexual orientation and religious freedom."
In meetings with the city parks leaders, now assessing the long-term plans for the local system, Lorick offered reminders of the importance of accessibility for disabled people and the value of neighborhood parks to people in low-income areas. He touts the regularity of cultural celebrations by different student groups at ISU. He wishes the former Terre Haute Ethnic Festival — which featured a multi-national array of foods — still existed. (It ended in 2005.)
"We need to do more of that," Lorick said.
During the past two autumns, the commission helped enlist the involvement of minorities in a pair of Community Theatre of Terre Haute productions — the social justice drama "A Lesson Before Dying" in 2011 and the musical "Hairspray" in 2012. "[The question] was, could we put together a diverse cast for a production that big in this community," Lorick said of the latter play. The shows sold out, and an extra performance was added.
"To have a conscious effort to go out and involve other community members is a win," Lorick said.
A variety of people working for the same cause. Some will dismiss such a concept as utopian. Second-graders see it differently.
"They have a real acceptance of people for who they are," Lorick said. "When they see classmates, they don't see differences. They see similarities."

Commissioner Adam Silver said the NBA will "inevitably" give referees additional options for reviewing replays.
"So far, in terms of all of our triggers, we've tried to maintain a line of what is clearly objectively ascertainable," Silver told a group of Associated Press Sports Editors on Thursday. "You know, foot on the line or not, buzzer or not. My sense is where we'll end up is giving the referees more discretion over what they can look at once we go to replay."
Silver's comments came just hours before Atlanta Hawks guard Jeff Teague appeared to step out of bounds before making a 3-pointer against the Indiana Pacers. The basket counted. While officials could review whether he was behind the arc or not, they could not review whether or not he stepped out of bounds.
In another controversial play, the Golden State Warriors hung on to beat the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 1 of their playoffs series after an unreviewable foul call on an out-of-bounds play. All the referees could decide was that the ball last touched Clippers guard Chris Paul so possession was awarded to the Warriors. However, they could not review that Warriors forward Draymond Green appeared to foul Paul before the ball bounced off Paul and went out of bounds.
Silver said it is confusing for viewers to see something obvious on a television replay but officials are handcuffed due to replay rules limits.
"I think the most difficult area now, even for our fans to understand, is when an official can go to replay and everyone can see something that looks like a foul or wasn't a foul, but yet the official is restricted from being able to apply, in essence, his judgment on the play," Silver said. "And I think that's an area that I think inevitably we're going to reach where an official is going to need to have some more discretion."
But senior vice president of basketball operations Kiki VanDeWeghe questioned how far back officials can look before the play they are reviewing.
"Those are things that when you start to have subjective calls and you're looking at a lot of things, and you're giving more discretion on what to look at, those are the problems and the issues that you try to figure out," VanDeWeghe said. "But like Adam said, giving the referees a little bit more discretion when there's something obvious that happens within the context of the foul, you want to get it right."
The NBA's competition committee is meeting in July to determine recommendations, which have to be approved by owners.

EOF - The Universal Internet Time Source
In theory, setting a computer's clock over the network is easy: simply send a query to the time server and get the current time in return. For low-precision usage on a trusted network, this process does indeed work fine, as demonstrated by the old UNIX "time" protocol. For today's Internet, however, and for millisecond (ms) or even sub-ms precision, problems such as authentication, reliability of the time servers and network delays need to be considered. This is where the Network Time Protocol (NTP), with its reference implementation, steps in. The specification and the reference implementation are being written by Professor David Mills of the University of Delaware, his graduate students and many other volunteers.
To allow everybody to use NTP to synchronise computers' clocks over the public Internet, Prof. Mills has long maintained a list of public time servers. Most of these servers are operated by universities or national standardisation organisations. Today, this list is maintained by the NTP Public Services Project, under the umbrella of the Internet Systems Consortium. However, the growth of the Internet and the prevalence of small, cheap appliances, such as cable or DSL routers, with built-in NTP clients lead to a rapidly growing load on these public time servers. One of the most famous cases involved a severe firmware problem in a range of such devices, resulting in more than 150Mbps of NTP traffic to the University of Wisconsin's NTP server.
After reading the discussion of one time server operator's request to be taken off the public time servers list, I wondered if there was a better approach to this whole problem—instead of having tens of thousands of clients targeting one single time server, the load should be distributed on many different time servers all over the network. So I went ahead and created the original time.fortytwo.ch DNS round-robin in January 2003. The project quickly acquired many interested volunteers and was well received by Prof. Mills and his team. It soon became the pool.ntp.org project with a somewhat more official status.
During the next two years, the project continued to grow, thanks to all the people who mentioned it in various Web forums, HOWTO documents and the like. Today, the project consists of more than 300 servers, offering service to tens of thousands of clients, in a very rough estimate. Also, pool.ntp.org is now the default time server in several operating system distributions, including Debian GNU/Linux, NetBSD and Gentoo Linux.
So far, the growth in servers could more or less match the growth of the user base of the project. However, the future remains challenging, and discussions on the project's discussion mailing list have shown that the project needs to deal with an inherent conflict between providing easy service for as many clients as possible and assuring good quality of the time servers participating in the project. That aside, the big challenges for the near and medium future are:
IPv6 integration.
More automation—currently, I process server additions and removals mostly manually.
Better, more novice-friendly documentation on the Web.
Of course, we always need more servers too.
And above all, we need to deal with abusive clients. In one example, the six worst clients were responsible for 25% of the traffic on one time server.
Although the first three items are not technically difficult and the "getting more servers" plan should see a big leap ahead with the publication of this article, we don't currently have a good plan to educate the hundreds of users with sub-optimally configured clients. Due to their number, they are a serious problem for the project. At the same time, the bandwidth per client is small enough that the big ISPs' abuse departments are not prepared to help in any way.
In the medium to long term, we will need to face the issue that DNS round-robin, as currently implemented, is not a good solution for load balancing on the scale of several hundred servers with a hundred thousand or more clients. Wide deployment of IP multicast together with the existing multicast support in ntpd would be a good solution to this problem, but obviously not one the NTP and pool.ntp.org crew can deploy on their own. Another possible solution is to make the ntpd dæmon aware of the pool.ntp.org project and, in some generic way, similar such databases and have the dæmon configure itself to use such a resource.
Finally, on a personal note, I honestly can say that it was fun to get this project started and see it grow, but I now see the need for somebody new, with fresh ideas, to take over from here. Indeed, as I write this, I am talking with several people about the project's future, and I am certain that the involvement of a new "father figure" will do the project much good as new ideas are looked at and implemented by a new crew.

Adrian von Bidder graduated with a degree in computer science from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2004. He is running the pool.ntp.org project in his spare time. His day job is developing the SEPP e-mail encryption gateway at Onaras AG in Wettingen, Switzerland. He can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Recognizing the clear and demonstrable link between increased gun crime and so-called "gun free zones", 5 Pennsylvania state schools will now allow students to carry weapons on their campuses, although firearms inside classrooms remains unlawful without a written exception from campus police, according to a report from the Huffington Post.
"Although there has been no legal challenge mounted in Pennsylvania, the state's lawyers cautioned that "blanket firearms bans were vulnerable to constitutional challenge and exposed the universities" to legal claims, said Nils Hagen-Frederiksen, a spokesman for the governor's Office of General Counsel," the report said.
Kutztown, Shippensburg, Edinboro, Slippery Rock and Millersville universities now allow students to carry a sidearm for personal protection.
Gun free zones are notorious for crime. Virtually all school buildings are gun-free zones – and the well-publicized school shootings over the past decade are no exception, and in fact, the Aurora Colorado shooting happened to take place in one of the only theaters in the area at the time that was supposedly "gun free". And why wouldn't someone who wants to kill indiscriminately want easy, unarmed targets?
Looks like targets on these schools' campuses might not be so easy any longer.

To assist States with the implementation of Article 9 and Part 3 of the Technical Annex, in 2009 the then Coordinator on Generic Preventive Measures, Colonel Jean-Christophe Le Roux of France, developed a questionnaire which serves as a checklist for States to consider when they are developing procedures, guidelines or regulations on the implementation of generic preventive measures. The checklist has been reproduced in full below. It can also be found in Protocol V document CCW/P.V/CONF/2010/6/Add.1, 11 November 2010. Essentially the checklist is a tool to facilitate the implementation of generic preventive measures. While it does not have any legal status, it is hoped that the checklist will clarify various issues, establish best practises and serve to monitor and improve the implementation of generic preventive measures at the national level.

CLOVER — Griggs Road Elementary School is one of five South Carolina schools that have been awarded grants to install rooftop solar energy panels from a nonprofit group associated with Duke Energy that promotes renewable energy.
The pilot project allows Duke Energy "to work with the schools to get them both an educational experience and the opportunity to understand how renewables work," said Duke spokesman Ryan Mosier. "It's the next step for us in South Carolina."
The grants of up to $50,000 each, to cover half the cost of the solar panel installation, are given by the nonprofit Palmetto Clean Energy, a collaborate effort among Duke Energy Carolinas, Duke Energy Progress and South Carolina Electric & Gas.
Jim Funderburk, maintenance director for Clover schools, said the solar panel project will help the school "teach the students about clean energy, how it's produced and what we can do with it."
Funderburk said the energy created by the solar panels won't be a significant cost savings for the school, which he estimated at 1 percent or 2 percent, "but it's a teaching tool."
Funderburk said this isn't the district's first venture into solar power. He said York Electric Cooperative put a solar panel at Clover Middle School, which helps supplement the power to one of the computer labs there.
"Once we teach the kids at an early age, they can go home and teach the parents and it will carry on as they become adults… The whole idea is to get kids thinking about conserving energy so we can conserve energy in the school," he said.
Funderburk said if the solar panels generate more power than the school uses in the summer, when school is not in session, the school can sell that excess power back to Duke Energy.
The solar program, open to K-12 schools, is aimed at enabling more schools and educational institutions to take advantage of solar technologies by assisting with installation costs.
Funderburk said Clover chose Griggs Road for the installation because it has a large rooftop area for the solar panels, it gets good sunlight and it's served by Duke Energy.
Kelly Grant, an assistant principal at Griggs Road, sees advantages to "anything we can do to save money and have a little more sustainability here at school, and for pioneering things, which is what we like to do in Clover."
The four other applicants chosen for the program are Bluffton High and Whale Branch Early College High schools, both in Beaufort County; Dixie Plantation Educational Holdings LLC Environmental Research Station at College of Charleston; and Roper Mountain Science Center in Greenville County.
Installation work is to begin in early 2014, and more grants will be available in the spring.

NORMAN — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol identified the trooper involved in Sunday's roadside shooting on Interstate 35 near Tecumseh Road.
Joseph Kimmons, 37, is a 14-year-veteran of OHP who was responding to a road rage incident around 10:30 a.m. Sunday.
OHP spokesperson Betsy Randolph said Sunday that when the trooper arrived, three males were in one car and a female was in the other car. The female told troopers it was a road rage incident, Randolph said.
"When the trooper tried to take control of the situation, one suspect became physically combative," Randolph said.
Reportedly, the trooper and one of the males began wrestling and rolled into the ditch.
"At some point, he felt his life was in danger," she said, which is when the trooper shot the individual.
The suspect, who is a juvenile, is not being identified pursuant to state confidentiality laws, an OHP press release said Monday. The teen was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for his injuries and remains hospitalized today in good condition, the release said.
The males involved in the incident were ages 16 and 14, according to Malik Leigh, a family attorney representing the children.
"They did not put the officer in fear of his life, and the officer shot the child while he was on his knees, arms crossed, and the officer was standing up and at a distance," Leigh said in an email Sunday night.
Trooper Kimmons is on paid administrative leave and was treated at the scene for minor injuries from the scuffle.
The incident remains under investigation.

In the face of danger, most would run toward safety. Yet, when then-Lance Cpl. Corbin was faced with such a decision, he ran toward peril and possible death – braving intense enemy fire to help injured comrades.Corbin, a medium tactical vehicle replacement driver, and his unit were stationed in the Al Anbar province to help secure and stabilize the volatile area. They had just finished several days of routine patrol on May 7, 2005, and were returning to the Haditha Dam when they got the call.A platoon from their battalion was under attack on the east side of the Euphrates River and needed support to block the insurgents' retreat. Corbin's team – a quick reaction force (QRF) – quickly responded to the call. As the QRF crept toward the attack site, there was an unnatural stillness in the air."There was no one out, nothing moving," Corbin later told the Marine Corps Times.With every nerve on alert, the QRF kept driving toward the ambush site, knowing there were injured Marines that needed them. Suddenly, a vehicle laden with IEDs sped toward the convoy and blew up between two of the Humvees. Another blast followed as enemy fighters began firing upon the group.The swift attack devastated Corbin's team – three of the four vehicles were severely damaged, and 11 of 16 Marines were injured or killed. Taking control of the situation, Corbin immediately repositioned his vehicle between the insurgents' fire and the wounded Marines. As he radioed in the situation, he began directing a counter-attack.As those that could returned fire, Corbin began recovering dead and wounded personnel and moving them toward safety. Running through the line of fire, Corbin grabbed his wounded patrol leader and threw him over his shoulder. He then sprinted back to his Humvee, firing at enemies as he ran. Corbin ran back and forth several times through the kill zone, moving everyone he could out of the withering fire and loaded them into his vehicle.Arming every able Marine with as much ammunition and weapons as they could hold, Corbin drove his severely damaged Humvee through the kill zone toward the battle aid station. Even injured, the Marines were a deadly force to be reckoned with. Insurgents continued to pelt the rumbling truck with mortars and small-arms fire, but the Marines made it to safety.Corbin's quick actions ensured that no Marines were killed after that initial attack. For his leadership, Corbin was awarded the Navy Cross on April 12, 2006.

The accolades keep coming for Paso Robles wine.
In addition to being named the top wine region by Wine Enthusiast last year, and recently being recognized as one of The Guardians top places to visit in 2014, the region also won big at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition this year, with several wines from the area receiving top awards.
The competition is one of the largest and most respected wine competitions in the United States, with more than 1,500 wineries from 25 states participating in the annual event.
Out of this years record-breaking 5,825 entries, 80 Paso Robles wines won top spots. Among them: 59 gold medals, 14 double gold medals (a unanimous gold, voted by a panel of five judges), six Best of Class wins and one overall red category winner.
Calcareous Vineyards 2010 Syrah tied with La Cienega Valley-based 3 Steves Winery for the top red wine in the competition surprising Calcareous winemaker Jason Joyce.
Weve done decently in the past, Joyce said. But to actually win thats exciting for us.
Calcareous Vineyards is a 442-acre estate that opened in Paso Robles in 2000, according to a news release. It consists of three vineyards that produce Bordeaux, Rhone and Burgundy varietals simultaneously. It has never previously won a top spot at the San Francisco competition.
Joyce attributed most of the winning syrahs success to the location where it was made.
As far as Syrah goes, its one we do spectacularly here in Paso, he said. The wines really have to stand out and thats what we have here.
Joyce, who has worked at Calcareous as head winemaker since 2010, said he will keep on trying to impress with his creations.
Whenever this happens, it puts a little bit of pressure on us to keep going and improving, he said. And were going to keep doing that at Calcareous.
Though no other Paso Robles wines won a sweepstakes or overall award six local wines did take home Best of Class wins. These wineries (and the winning wines) are Adelaida Cellars (2012 Finder), LXV Wine (2012 Summer Satine), Niner Wine Estates (2009 Fog Catcher and 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon), Sculpterra Winery (2010 Marquette) and Thacher Winery (2011 Petite Sirah).
For a complete list of 2014 medal winners, go to www.winejudging.com. A public tasting of all the winning wines is scheduled from 1:30 to 5 p.m. Feb. 15 at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco.

Video: Ciara Leaps Into Action on 'Hellcats'
Ciara showed off her best moves on The CW's cheerleading series "Hellcats," guest starring as herself as she judged a dance competition between two of the characters. CiCi, once a cheerleader herself, performed "Gimmie Dat" in the Debbie Allen-directed episode "Land of 1,000 Dances."
"Coming from my world when it comes to shooting music videos and doing all the dancing and stuff, it's fun, but it's almost like you get even more excited because it's kind of a very lightweight, small way of collaborating," she told Zap2it. "So it's almost like I got a chance to collaborate with Debbie Allen, and that felt really special to me."Tweet

By Edward Thoma
Free Press Staff Writer
In life in general, in baseball in particular, there can be a period of creeping change that goes unnoticed — and then we wake to a new normal.
One such occurrence appears to have happened now in baseball — strikeouts.
The average American League pitcher in 2012 is averaging 7.3 strikeouts per nine innings. That rate, if maintained the rest of the season — and it's been holding steady for at least a month now — would be 0.4 K/9 higher than the previous high.
Which came last year.
The strikeout rate has been sneaking higher by small increments for years, occasionally receding slightly only to resume its growth. But the pace has accelerated. In 2005 — one of those years when the strikeout rate shrunk a bit — AL hurlers averaged 6.2 K/9; seven seasons later, we're more than a strikeout a game higher than that.
Strikeout rates are consistently higher in the DH-less National League; the senior circuit first hit 7 K/9 in 2001, and has been over that pace annually since 2008. This year, 7.6 K/9 — which, yes, is the highest on record.
Meanwhile, the walk rates in the two major leagues remain monotonously consistent — in the vicinity of 3.3 walks per nine innings. With few exceptions, walk rates have been between 3.1 and 3/5 since the mound was lowered for the 1969 season.
Strikeouts up. Walks steady. What in the name of Jim Thome is going on here?
I think it's sabermetrics. Specifically, it's rooted in the knowledge that strikeouts are not a zero-sum game.
The work of Bill James and others have determined that
These two facts have naturally led the statistically informed general managers to emphasize strikeouts for pitchers and ignore them for hitters.
And when enough teams do that, the strikeout rate is bound to rise.
This should be no surprise: The Twins pitching staff has the lowest strikeout rate in the AL, 5.8 K/9 — almost 1.5 lower than average. The next lowest team is at 6.4.
(How bad is it? Francisco Liriano, entering his start Sunday, led the team in total strikeouts, with 70 — no surprise there — but the guy in second place was Glen Perkins, who was 12th in innings pitched.)
The surprise for me is how much the norm has changed. I've been going along for literally decades figuring that the typical strikeout rate was still in the range it was in the 1980s and early 90s, in the period when the sabermetricians were tying pitcher strikeout rate to career value.
At that time, five strikeouts per nine innings was respectable. A pitcher could have, and maintain, success that way.
But the standards have changed. The new normal requires more strikeouts from pitchers.

Fox Butterfield: Moron
This is an in-joke among conservative circles.
For the past, oh, I don't know, six thousand years Fox Butterfield has written the same story with the same headline at least once a year, sometimes several times a year.
The headline is always along the lines of...
Crime Rate Falls, Despite Soaring Prison Population
"Despite"? How about "Amost Certainly Because of"? But no, for Fox Butterfield, there's always some bizarre disconnect between the fact that crime falls as criminals are locked up in greater numbers.
He just can't grasp even the possibility of a cause-effect relationship between the twain.
National Review Online notes that Fox Butterfield's go-to headline is catching on. He doesn't even have to write it anymore; he's got other buffoons to write it for him.
In the Houston Chronicle, we are now treated to Butterfield pastiche...
Crime rate down, but prison population on the rise
Not quite as good as Butterfield -- "despite" is so much more expressive than "but" -- but I think this kid's got the chops.
He'll be a Managing Editor at the New York Times within a year.

Above image: Holiday fun at the Aquarium - Aviculturist Loribeth Aldrich with the female gentoo chick.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Thom Benson 423-785-3007
DNA Test Reveals Aquarium's Gentoo Penguin is a Girl.
Visitors Can Help Name This Rather Large, Athletic Bird
Chattanooga, Tenn. (December 7, 2010) – The Tennessee Aquarium has learned that the gentoo penguin chick, hatched on June 30th, is a girl. "It was a bit surprising to some of us," said senior aviculturist Amy Graves. "Even at this young age, she's fairly large and already outweighs some of our other gentoos."
Visitors can easily identify this penguin by looking for the gentoo with two "Tennessee Aquarium blue" beads separated by a white bead on her flipper bands. The best place to find her is in the water. "She loves to swim and can be found in the pool almost all day long," said aviculturist Loribeth Aldrich. "She is very athletic, displaying bursts of energy as she races across the exhibit making tight turns and flips."
Just before Thanksgiving, after all of the penguins completed their molting cycle, they were taken off exhibit to be given physical examinations including blood work. "Twice a year we screen the birds for general physiological parameters," said Aquarium veterinarian Dr. Chris Keller. "This helps us ensure the penguins are good and healthy." For the Aquarium's newest gentoo, a DNA sample was sent out to another lab to test for male or female chromosomes. "In spite of a penguin's physical characteristics, this specialized test is the only way to know whether a young bird is male or female," said assistant curator of forests Kevin Calhoon. "In fact, this was a split decision. Amy and I thought it was a female, but Dr. Keller and Loribeth thought it was too large to be female."
The parents, Biscuit and Blue, also spend a lot of time in the water. And according to Graves, this particular penguin mirrors some of her mother's behavior. "Biscuit likes to eat while she's swimming," said Graves. "And I don't see this chick eat very often from the pan. She enjoys the water feedings like her mom."
Tennessee Aquarium visitors will have a chance to help name the gentoo chick. Guests will be invited to cast write-in ballots at the South Pole-ing booth which will be set up in the Ocean Journey gift shop and online at www.facebook.com/tennesseeaquarium. Voting will begin Saturday, December 11th and conclude at the end of the Aquarium's "Tropical Holiday Adventure" on Sunday, January 2nd. The penguin's name will be selected from these submissions. By entering the Penguin Naming contest, voters could win a trip to Chattanooga for 2011 which includes overnight accommodations at the Chattanooga Marriot at the Convention Center and a family four pack of tickets to the Tennessee Aquarium, IMAX 3D Theater, River Gorge Explorer and Creative Discovery Museum.
Guests may want to spend some extra time in Penguins' Rock during the holidays to observe her behavior before choosing a name. "She's almost always in the water doing something fun or amazing," said Graves.

New Music: Iggy Azalea – 'Roman in Moscow (Remix)'
Amidst reports that she's signing to Def Jam, Iggy Azalea adds to the feeding frenzy with her venomous remix to Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded single "Roman in Moscow." The 21-year-old Aussie femcee fires a rapid round of shots at her haters over the stinging cut.
"All you do is dream like you was Christina Mili/ I'm sorry Nicki, but these hoes disrespecting hard/ Had to address the nonsense, here's a postcard," raps the much-buzzed-about blonde.
Did Iggy go hard? Weigh in below.

Captain Al's cooks plate a menu of casual American fare as servers decant 16 draft beers. Hands dig into hearty appetizers, kick-starting palates with options such as four La Frieda sliders—miniature hamburger patties topped with american cheese originally concocted for lilliputian barbecues ($10)—or loaded cheese fries coated in cheddar and applewood bacon bits, which are ripe for dipping into buttermilk ranch ($8). Knives carve into entrees, slicing through the stuffed chicken breast to reveal a savory filling of goat cheese and spinach ($13), and fingers run up and down the rack of ribs ($19), which doubles as a spongy xylophone. In between chews, diners wash down meals with sips of eclectic draft brews such as Delirium Tremens, Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA, and Smithwicks, or more common standbys such as Blue Moon, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and Coors Light.
The KISS Expo draws in fans from near and far together under one roof for a day of celebrating their favorite rock band. For eight hours, attendees can gain an inside view of the band's work during panels featuring guitar designer Jim Cara, album artist Ken Kelly, and author Lydia Criss. Fans even have a chance to receive an autograph and take a photo with lead guitarist Tommy Thayer, giving them an exciting photo to show in place of their driver's license at traffic stops. Beyond panels and autograph sessions, fans can also add to their KISS memorabilia at stations set up by dozens of onsite merchants throughout the convention space.
Tucked alongside the Assunpink Creek, Trenton's Mill Hill neighborhood houses brick-faced 19th century homes and their lush gardens within a cozy 10-block area. For more than 200 years, residents of the historic neighborhood have taken pride in cultivating their scenic community. Each year, local homeowners open up their yards so that visitors can peek into their diminutive urban gardens. The scenic tour drew the attention of CBS Philadelphia, which wrote that "between and behind these historic homes, you'll discover some of the Delaware Valley's most cleverly designed compact gardens."
Clifton Yoga Center focuses on the Kripalu yoga tradition—a form of Hatha yoga that asks its practitioners to rely on inner focus, meditation, standard yoga poses, and breathing exercises. Classes are taught by a certified Kripalu yoga instructor with 18 years of experience in the discipline.
Before New York City's subway system was built, a secret test train, powered only by forced air, once traversed the space beneath City Hall. This little-known fact is just one of many that patrons of Better Adventures may hear during story-filled tours of the Big Apple. Led by New York City natives, tours reveal the stories behind the locations, cluing guests in on the secrets of eclectic neighborhoods and landmarks such as the Brooklyn Bridge and Central Park. The company doesn't just educate the public, either—proceeds from the tours help support Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC.
Because minds are at their most malleable in early childhood, the teachers at Little Footsteps Child Development Center take advantage of this time to coddle and mold the fragile intellects of infants, preschoolers, and kindergarteners and prime them for future learning. The nonprofit center, which is decorated to emulate the comforts of home, provides a welcoming environment for kids in a safe building that's guarded by a security system as opposed to an enchanted troll bridge.
Because teachers oversee as few as 4 charges in the infant room and a maximum of 12 in kindergarten classes, they can give each child individual attention and gear hands-on curriculum toward the child's needs. Lesson plans include age-appropriate forays into language arts, math, science, social studies, motor activities, and sessions with specialists for music, art, and computers.
Sessions take place in classrooms that house a variety of learning stations, which stimulate curiosity with bright colors and toys that encourage play between peers. On the playground, kids dart in and out of the jungle gym with friends or gather under the pavilion to discuss the day's news or decide who gets to go down the big slide first.

The Rogers County Election Board voted Tuesday not to certify results of the May 14 One-Cent Sales Tax election on advice from Assistant District Attorney David Iski.
The decision comes after Claremore resident Myron Grubowski filed a complaint May 16 with the election board. His complaint contends there may have been voter suppression by the county not properly publishing a legal notice of the election in a county newspaper prior to the vote.
The board will not certify the election until after the 10 a.m. May 28 court hearing before District Judge Dwayne Steidley.
Unofficially, the voters approved the renewal of the tax 1,887 to 1,354.
Rogers County Election Board Chairman Jim Blouch questioned the complaint and asked who was responsible for the legal notice publication.
"The answer to that is really immaterial to what we are here to do today," Iski said.
"I don't want any disparaging remarks made about our secretary, Julie Dermody, because she has done everything correctly," Blouch said.
Election Board Member Linda Lepak also questioned the complaint referencing Title 26 Section 8- 118 of the Oklahoma State Statute questioning Iski if the complaint is being treated as a petition, therefore requiring the issue to be set for a hearing.
"In the event a candidate contests the correctness of the announced results of an election by alleging either fraud or any other irregularities, the secretary of the election board receiving the petition shall set a hearing in the same manner as provided for recounts. Provisions for service of notice shall be the same as for recounts. The district judge conducting the hearing or such other judge as may be assigned by the Supreme Court shall have the authority to issue subpoenas and compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of evidence," according to the statute.
Grubowski was not a candidate in the election and the Oklahoma State Election Board previously had reported that the complaint was not valid.
