The Nationals rebounded from Sunday's late giveaway at Cincinnati with their fourth win in the last five games, an 8-5 triumph over San Diego, marking a moment in time with Bryce Harper's first Major League home run and unbelievably losing yet another player to what could be a pretty serious injury – in his big league debut, no less.
It's always eventful at Nationals Park, even when it's barely half full, or much less, due to the weather and the weeknight.
The Nats and Padres meet again in 13 hours, too, so here are just a few tidbits from afterward:
*Poor Sandy Leon came into the clubhouse with his right ankle in a boot and rolling on a cart after what Nationals manager Davey Johnson called a clean play when Chase Headley barreled into him in the fourth inning, prematurely ending his MLB debut. To replace him, the nationals will purchase the contract of Carlos Maldonado from Triple-A Syracuse before Tuesday's game.
*Harper was pretty humble about his home run, taking questions from reporters with the ball sitting in the middle cubby hole of his locker over his shoulder, inscribed with "1st ML HR." Ian Desmond was 3-for-5 with two RBI and tow runs scored, but The Kid was the star again. Asked if he usually sprints around the bases that fast, he said, "I always have since I can remember. I never want to show up that pitcher. I never have wanted to. The only time I would do that is if you're messing with my team. That'd be the only moment that I do that. I never want to disrespect that guy on the mound. He's been there, done things, and it's just how I've always played."
He also said it was the veteran players who urged him to accept the curtain call request from the crowd.
"I thought it was great," Johnson said. "I don't think it's going to calm him down any. I think that's impossible. But it was good to see him hit the ball hard."
Harper was little less forthcoming on his fielding error in the second inning, when Orlando Hudson's shot clanked off his glove. The gaffe was Harper's second in consecutive nights, having lost a ball in the twilight in Cincinnati on Sunday night. Both errors allowed runs to score.
"I have no comment on that, sorry," Harper said. "I think that's hilarious. Thanks for bringing that up."
*Craig Stammen, Tyler Clippard and Alex Burnett were stellar in relief of Ross Detwiler, who Johnson said he had to pull when he gave up the lead twice and his pitch count started to climb. Henry Rodriguez was not great, walking the bases loaded in the ninth inning.
Detweiler said it wasn't about the misty conditions. "Stammen came out there and did what he's been doing all year," he said. "The team, they could tell I didn't have my best stuff. But they kept me in the game, and it's more time I'm going to go out there and try to keep them in the game."
Asked about Stammen, who got his third victory of the season - leading Johnson to talk about the "vultures" in his bullpen - Detwiler said, "To see some of the movement he has, and then the sinker, it's unbelievable. It's great to see. It's a guy I came up with through the minor leagues, and I get to see him every year. He's definitely at the top of his game right now."
After pitching Rodriguez three straight nights, Johnson said fatigue might've played a role – along with memories of Joey Votto's walkoff grand slam. Even though Rodriguez would have Tuesday off not matter what, Johnson said he still had confidence in Rodriguez three times in his postgame press conference.

In an analysis that might create heartburn for any number of people at any number of levels, David Strauss and his aerospace team at UBS Securities issued a report Tuesday (April 27) that concludes the next-generation of airplanes–the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350–are "way" over-ordered.
The "good" news (tongue-in-cheek, for those who don't pick up on our odd humor) doesn't stop there. UBS concludes that the Boeing 777, Airbus A330 and Airbus A320 are also over-ordered.
The Boeing 737 is under-ordered, in the UBS view, but this doesn't relieve the concerns about this order-book, either, according to UBS.
UBS concludes that there are nearly 400 excess wide-body orders that could be deferred, including a whopping 275 787s (out of nearly 900). Qatar, Singapore, Gulf Air, Qantas and launch customer All Nippon are identified as over-ordering the 787 in UBS' analysis.
The A350, with somewhat more than 500 firm orders, has been over-ordered to the tune of 250 aircraft, UBS concludes. Qatar, Singapore, US Airways, Alitalia and Kingfisher are among those at risk to defer, UBS writes.
There are 152 A320 over-orders, with Wizz Air, IndiGo, US Airways and Tiger Airways among those potentially at risk for deferrals.
TAM, Shenzhen, China Southern, easyJet and Air China are among those needing A320s, UBS writes.
UBS concludes that carriers operating 737s need to order a net of 206 more airplanes to accommodate growth and retirements over the next 5-8 years, but some of Boeing's biggest 737 customers also over-ordered. These include LionAir, over-ordered by a whopping 123 737s. All others in an over-order position did so by 36 or fewer airplanes.
American Airlines, with a large MD-80 fleet, needs 98 more 737s. China Southern, Southwest, GOL and Ryanair also need sizable fleet orders to meet growth and retirements.
There are a net of 33 over-orders for the 777 and a net of 83 A330s.
The 37-page report is highly detailed.

When we last checked in with the Subaru Road Racing Team, it had just completed 2006 by winning the SCCA Touring 2 Championship for the second year in a row and debuted a Legacy 2.5 GT wagon in the 2006 Grand Am Cup Series. Where has SRRT gone in 2007?
Back to the track! But this year the team campaigns the Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B sedan, with its turbocharged 2.5-liter Boxer engine, SI-DRIVE, and 6-speed manual transmission. The spec.B also has considerable preparation by the team that put together back-to-back championships in the SCCA T2 series in 2005 and 2006 with Impreza WRX STIs. Now it has made the move to the Legacy platform.
The spec.B is an impressive street machine, and too often overlooked by enthusiasts. To anyone seeking power, control, handling – everything you'd want in a fun-to-drive automobile – this sports sedan is special.
That's what the team out of the ICY Racing/Phoenix Engineering stables thought. It had proven what the WRX STI could do, and the team wanted another challenge. The concept of campaigning the Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B filled that need.
Today, the team takes to the field in the ST Class of the Grand-Am Koni Challenge Series (replacing last year's Grand Am Cup) with a pair of Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B racecars.

Casey's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
The Pittsburg Steelers have been my favorite sports team since I could fit into a youth jersey. I've always been a Daddy's girl and they're Daddy's favorite team! Besides, I look pretty darn nice in black and yellow.
What's your favorite movie quote?
"You don't smell like Santa, you smell like beef and cheese!" Buddy the Elf, Elf.
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
I like Dance, Dance, Revolution. I have the version you can play at home while dancing on an electronic mat. How many smokin' hot girls do you know that can still get on that mat today and beat the boys?
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
I have a barely noticeable tattoo on my right ring finger, my favorite tattoo artists' initials inside my bottom lip, "Hopeful" in cursive on my left shoulder blade, "Grow with every opportunity" in cursive on my right hip on my back, a lizard on my foot because of my love for reptiles since I was about 2 and half feet tall, and flowers on the inside of my left hip on my abdomen. I've had my nose, tongue, belly button, and ears pierced.
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
Shake It N' Jiggle It-Baltimore Club Music, I have in fact shaken and jiggled to this funny remix.
What's your best party trick?
Besides being a phenomenal entertainer and the best bartender, I can play flip-cup like it's my damn job. My DJing skills aren't too shabby either.
What's the most memorable pick-up line you've ever heard?
"The sunset has got to be the next best thing compared to waking up to your beautiful face." Who in the world could not fall in love with that line itself?!
What's the worst job you've ever had?
I worked at a Pet Shop when I was 13, being paid under the table to wash puppies that were delivered to our store from local farms. I loved playing with the puppies after they were clean, but until they were flea and doo-doo free, I hated every second!
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
That would probably be...screwing around with a 5 foot captive alligator.
It's 4AM after a crazy night out – what are we eating?
Well, last Saturday around 4AM I was eating hot wings, a cheeseburger, mozzarella sticks, and nachos with my dudes. Heaven.
What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?
Strange to anyone who isn't Hispanic, jalapeno peppers and a liter of Frank's Hot Sauce, I"m Caucasian, but I've learned to appreciate every food that burns a hole in my stomach and makes my eyebrows sweat. That's just what happens when you live with two Hispanic dudes.
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
Nothing gross, haven't we all had sex at our local Fairgrounds?
What do you feel sexiest wearing?
Besides the good ol' birthday suit, I'll confidently strut around the house in ladies, boy shorts and a tank top.
Tell us a joke.
Your face.

How Much Weight Am I Lifting in a Push-Up?
Push-ups. I bet you love, or love to hate them. This weight-bearing exercise is fantastic at sculpting your shoulders and arms, building up your pecs (and for us ladies, giving us a little lift!), and making your back look just incredible.

Pope Benedict XVI, whose reign was hobbled by the clergy sexual abuse crisis, as well as internal Vatican scandals and external controversies, announced Monday that he would relinquish the post he has held for barely eight years.
The surprise announcement, which the pontiff attributed to increasing physical and mental frailty, instantly transformed the study of the Vatican's internal workings from an esoteric obsession of a few hundred journalists, Catholic bloggers, and prelates into a global preoccupation. Benedict is the first pope to resign in nearly 600 years.

Brewers slugger Ryan Braun is talking publicly for the first time since accepting a season-ending suspension for violating Major League Baseball's anti-drug agreement.
Braun was taking part in a food drive at Miller Park on Wednesday. He says he is "deeply remorseful," and eager to get back to playing.
Braun was the first star to be suspended as part of the doping scandal surrounding the Biogenesis anti-aging clinic in Florida.
The five-time All-Star tested positive for elevated testosterone in October of his 2011 NL MVP season, but his 50-game suspension was overturned when an arbitrator ruled the urine sample was mishandled. Braun has apologized for blaming specimen collector Dino Laurenzi Jr. He says they have "made amends." He says he not made any payments to Laurenzi.

Calm Before the Final Fantasy XIII Storm
My gaming career began at the age of four, when my parents purchased for me a Sega Genesis. Included were two controllers, the bundled Sonic the Hedgehog, and a copy of Evander Holyfield's "Real Deal" Boxing (my father is a boxing nut). For the longest time, all I knew were those two games, and I'm glad that was the case as each game offered an important lesson.
Sonic introduced me to platforming and all that comes with it: navigation in an imaginary space, prioritizing, and most importantly, judging distances. Evander schooled me with lessons of timing, defense, and interacting with a dynamic opponent. What I did not know at the time was that those seemingly simple lessons are truly the foundation on which all gaming skills are based.
It wasn't until I was twelve that I found the genre that would ultimately prove to be my calling. After scoring my first goal ever in recreational league soccer, my father offered me a game rental. I quickly accepted and picked up The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I played it. I played it again. I played it some more. I had never been so hooked on anything in my life. And after the week was out and I had to return the game to the store, I knew that, even though I already triumphed and defeated Ganondorf, I needed to own Ocarina for myself; I needed to experience that exaltation just one more time. From that moment on, RPG was my genre of choice.
My hunger was insatiable. I would rent any RPG I could get my hands on, spend hours on end flipping through the pages of Gamepro magazine to read about the new adventures that were available just around the corner. Unfortunately, I only had a N64; RPG's were few and far between. In junior high school, however, my mother surprised me one afternoon with a Playstation that she found at a garage sale. Salvation. So began my infatuation with the Final Fantasy series.
Like many, my first Final Fantasy was number 7. Right from the start, I was immediately sucked into the world; I wasn't a spectator playing the game, I was a citizen of Midgar, I was Cloud, confident, but trying to piece together my past. When I should have been playing outside, I was snowboarding down the mountain in disc 2. When I should have been studying, I was crunching the numbers attempting to figure out the best materia combinations. When I was sleeping, I was dreaming about how good it would feel to finally take down Sephiroth. As I played my way through 8, 9, 10, and 6¸ I knew that I could never get enough; I had to branch out into other series. Tales, Star Ocean, Zelda, Rogue Galaxy, and recently Elder Scrolls and Fallout, RPG's took over my life.
While my love for RPG's spread all across the board, nothing quite touched my life like Final Fantasy. However, for the last decade, Final Fantasy has been nothing but a disappointment. FFX was merely "meh" inducing. FFXI could not come close to the high that Everquest provided me. I could barely stomach little more than an hour of FFXII before shutting the game off for good. Don't get me started on the Advent Children/Dirge of Cerberus/etc. fiasco. In short, Final Fantasy has been left behind in my mind.
This is all about to change. In one week's time, FFXIII with come out, and for the first time in ten years, I'm excited for the series. Gorgeous graphics, voice acting that is closer to good than it is to tolerable, a revamped battle system: all I needed to hear to become interested again.
I'm not sure what effect the hype will have on FFXIII. I've built it up in my mind quite a bit, and, as a connoisseur of RPG's (especially J), I think I might be setting myself up for disappointment. But right now, I don't care; it's the calm before the storm that for me has been a lifetime in the making. I will need all the skills that I've acquired from Sonic and Evander up until now, I will need to put in the countless hours and sleepless nights, I will need dedication to succeed. All I know now is that I want to win, and I think I know why:
I'm hooked, again.

Citizen, Humankind
This conversation is closed.
Individually possessing the truth seems unworthy: understanding seems a nobler personal objective.
I once thought that by mastering the Word of God—studying the truth according to the Bible—my life would become its best. As time passed, the truth seemed unreachable: understanding became attractive.
For a trite example of understanding, everybody knows the sun doesn't rise: Earth's axial rotation reveals the sun in the morning and hides it in the evening. Yet, who'd debate Annie's, "the sun'll come up . . . tomorrow."
It seems there are two quests for understanding: humankind's ultimate quest and the individual's lifetime quest. Humankind's evolution involves over 100 billion humans and spans millions of years. Communications evolved—from motions; to grunts; to symbols; to language; to writing; to the world-wide web—perhaps during a million years. Considerations from before seem manifest in us. Yet humankind seems far from psychological maturity.
Society celebrates chronological age, but not psychological maturity. A person can enlist in armed services and vote at age 18; at age 21 legally consume alcohol in some societies; at age 25 enjoy cheaper auto insurance; and at age 63-68, retire. Age is rewarded, but almost no one promotes psychological maturity.
Quoting Professor Orlando Patterson, "Psychologically the ultimate human condition is to be liberated from all internal and external constraints in one's desire to realize one's self." We owe it to ourselves to want psychological maturity—to discover our preferences—to discover ourselves, understanding that the truth seems approachable yet perhaps unattainable.
Since we share uncertainty, we could understand each other, accepting that the truth knows no favorites.
General revision for clarification: 1/24/2012. See original statements, below.

Rhona Pavis 50+Jan 13 2012: Seeking truth and expressing truth is always worthwhile. TRUTH is powerful. You know it, when you utter it. Sometimes you know it, when you hear it. I believe there is a high correlation between truth and sanity/lies and insanity. Consider the people you know. I don't think there is anything more important in human relationships or in societies than truth. Truth works to achieve our positive goals. Truth is necessary for love.
Jan 13 2012: I appreciate your thoughts and instantly wanted to mimic them:
Seeking understanding and expressing understanding is always worthwhile. Understanding is powerful. You know it, when you utter it. Sometimes you know it, when you hear it.

Rhona Pavis 50+Jan 14 2012: So, Phillip, is this a form of plagiarism? Is this a form of flattery? Of course understanding is good. I would think that you would "understand" and acknowledge the importance of truth. I am puzzled that you do not. What good are communications that lack truth? Seems to me they are wasting people's time, energy and causing chaos. As I said elsewhere, I realize that living in freedom and truth requires courage, but the payoff is so huge that I am surprised you and others who may have experimented using truth in place of lies have not appreciated the value of truth in human life.
Jan 14 2012: The mimic is a literary art form and people are unlikely to mimic writing they do not appreciate. Also, I thought the result was meaningful or would not have shared it. By all means I did not lie when I wrote, "I appreciate your thoughts and instantly wanted to mimic them."
It seems to me we are using the phrase "the truth" with different meanings. It seems you are using it as integrity, whereas I am using it as reality. Understanding is necessary for integrity but reality merely is, regardless of the observer.
I can't imagine how lies entered the conversation but am not among those who do not appreciate integrity in human life. I have written elsewhere in TED about the insufficiency of honesty (humankind needs integrity) and plan to create a TED conversation on that subject, but first wanted to have the present conversation: it seems the truth is unattainable but understanding is possible.
I hope this helps.
Jan 14 2012: One truth, Zacharia, is that you replied to a post I made in ted.com saying, "I would ask you to prove one truth in this world." That's the truth. Truth is everywhere for those who choose to behold it, express it, live it. Spend one day seekfinding truth, expressing truth only and just observe the results. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Truth can become a habit that yields spectacular results. You have infinite choice at every moment of time. May as well choose truth. Sometimes it takes courage, but it always leads to success in accomplishing any or all of your positive goals. Best wishes.
Jan 14 2012: We can't know that for sure, though. There are thousands of cases of people that our societies put in mental hospitals because they believe that this is some alternate reality, but what if they are right? And even if you don't believe they are, you can't deny that the human brain is more than capable of warping whatever reality is. You and I think that I actually said that, but what if we're sitting next to each other in some padded room in straight jackets mumbling about philosophy? Our minds have shown to be able to do exactly that.
Jan 16 2012: "We can't know that for sure, though." You know. I know. I am assuming we are both truthseekers. Seek truth/Find truth
Suppose reality is neutral.................
May as well choose to focus on the positive. It's a free country.
Zacharia, I feel okay about you and I reaching different conclusions on this topic. Happy Today.

What makes a tablet PC a good fit for government work might be quite different from what makes it an irresistible toy at home. Federal Computer Week's sister publication, Government Computer News, recently evaluated a handful of new tablet PCs for a variety of government work-related characteristics, including security, performance and ease of use. Here are some of the highlights.
Apple's iPad 2 (Wi-Fi) 16G
Simple to operate, but those used to PC-based applications will need some retraining
Quite fragile, but an optional Apple Smart Cover case can compensate
Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.2
Multitasking powerhouse with a huge screen and full support of Flash apps
No extra security and not very rugged
Motion Computing's J3500 Tablet PC
Security features include biometric fingerprint scanner; rugged up to Mil-Std 810G specifications
Very expensive
Hewlett-Packard's TouchPad
Powerful dual-core processor and standard security features, such as full-device encryption
Not particularly rugged
Motorola's Xoom
Runs Google's elegant and fast Honeycomb operating system
Research in Motion's BlackBerry PlayBook
Excellent browser for Web apps; offers top-notch security when linked with your BlackBerry smart phone

Slifer Designs donated to Walking Mountains campus
Lots of recycled, renewable resources were use
Daily staff report
Vail, CO Colorado
AVON, Colorado — It was two years ago that Slifer Designs started hearing about the aspirations and new interactive and educational programs being planned for the new Walking Mountains Science Center, particularly its goal of becoming a certified LEED Platinum facility. With four certified LEED designers, along with many staff who are parents that have had their children benefit from programs through the former Gore Range Natural Science School, Slifer Designs President Yvonne Jacobs decided to lend the company's support.
Totaling $34,000 in donated time and services, Slifer Designs' Kim Toms, a LEED accredited professional, spearheaded the selection of all the fixed finishes for the Science Center. Working in partnership with Brian Sipes of Zehren and Associates, RA Nelson, Condit Exhibits out of Denver and the board of directors, Toms was instrumental in sourcing renewable and/or recycled materials that are an integral part of the Center's educational features about eco-friendly building resources.
Highlights of the recycled and renewable products and features for the fixed finishes include:
Countertop slabs
• 70 percent composite sunflower seed hulls.
• 75 percent composite wood chips.
• Pre-consumer waste aluminum flake, solid surface scrap and recycled acrylic.
• Bamboo — a renewable resource.
• Forest Service certified maple.
Wall coverings in restrooms
• Steel — a recycled material.
• Rubber and cork tile (rubber was recycled and cork is a renewable resource).
• 100 percent recycled milk jugs
• Polished concrete with some exposed aggregate and some dyed colors

After offering mens lacrosse for 25 years as a club sport, Southwestern will become the first university in Texas to offer lacrosse as a varsity sport. The University plans to field its first team in fall 2009 and begin NCAA competition in spring 2010, with longtime lacrosse veteran Joe Ernst as head coach. In recent years, the mens lacrosse team has enjoyed tremendous success as a club sport, winning the Lone Star Alliance Division II Championship for the past four years and advancing to the national championship tournament.
Cross Country junior Tamra Warner received All-Region honors at the 2008 NCAA Division III South/Southeast Regional Cross Country Championships. The team finished in 15th place in the region out of 24 teams and finished sixth among conference schools. Sam Marsh and Kelly Parmet were named to the SCAC All-Sportsmanship team.
Volleyball finished the season at 36-5 overall, placing third at the SCAC Championships (15-1 SCAC). Coach Hannah Long was named SCAC Coach of the Year, Junior Audra Gentry was named SCAC Player of the Year.
Womens Soccer ended the season 13-4-1 (6-3-0 SCAC) and placed second in the conference. A.J. Andreola was named to the 2008 All-SCAC Womens Soccer First Team.
Mens Soccer finished in second place in the conference for the third straight season. They ended with a 9-10 overall record and 7-3 in the SCAC. Kevin Jordan and David Lozano were both named to the SCAC First Team.
Womens Golf was recognized last season by the National Golf Coaches Association as having the third highest team GPA (3.7) among all Division I, II, III schools. Marisa Mauldin, a senior from Utopia, Texas, was the #1 ranked Division III womens golfer according to Golfstat in fall 2008.

I know the SV caame out with a MG mount with slow mo controls but when will someone inport a version of this United Optic mount with the dual head Alt/Az with slow mo controls like whats on there site. Calling Mr. Mike, just wondering if you might have looked into this mount and I think not just myself would be very interested in one, like real soon. it looks like they sell just the head and that would be easy to inport and just get a supply of tripods to go with it. The SV MG looks good but has no option to go to dual heads, "Two Heads are Better Than One" LOL.

South of Djúpivogur, the fjords recede into the background and you enter the altogether different world of southeastern Iceland, a coastal band between the East Fjords and Vík which is dominated by Europe's largest ice cap, Vatnajökull. Covering eight thousand square kilometres, almost 150km wide and up to 1km thick, Vatnajökull's vast size gradually sinks in as it floats inland for hour after hour as you drive past, its numerous glacier tongues flowing in slow motion from the heights to sea level, grinding out a black gravelly coastline as they go. Vatnajökull National Park (wvatnajokulsthjodgardur.is) covers 12,000 square kilometres of this unspoiled wilderness – an extraordinary eleven percent of Iceland's total landmass – accessible by hiking, four-wheel-driving or even by snowmobile. Flying is perhaps the only way to absorb Vatnajökull's full immensity: glaring ice sheets shadowed in lilac; pale blue tarns; and grey, needle-sharp nunataks – mountain peaks – poking through the ice.
Given Vatnajökull's proximity, Iceland's "mini ice-age" between 1200 and 1900 hit the southeast especially hard – not to mention the devastating jökulhlaups that flood out from beneath Vatnajökull's icy skirt from time to time – and it remains a thinly settled area, even though all glaciers here are actually retreating as the climate warms once more. Vatnajökull's eastern flank is accessed at Lónsöræfi, a private reserve managed by Stafafell farm, close to the regional hub of Höfn. There's the stunning sight of icebergs floating on the lagoon at Jökulsárlón; and the ice cap's southern glaciers and adjacent heaths to explore at Skaftafell National Park and Skeiðarársandur, a huge glacier-induced wilderness between Vatnajökull and the sea. Moving away from Vatnajökull, Kirkjubæjarklaustur is the southeast's second settlement, near where lava fields and craters at Lakagígar stand testament to one of Iceland's most violent volcanic events. Note that the only shops and banks in the entire region are at Höfn and Kirkjubæjarklaustur, which are 200km apart.Read More
- Lón
- Höfn
On the Ringroad 75km west of Höfn and 55km east of Skaftafell, Jökulsárlón is a large, deep-blue lagoon between the nose of Breiðamerkurjökull and the sea. Formed after the glacier began shrinking rapidly in the 1940s, the lagoon is chock-full of smallish, powder-blue icebergs which have calved off Breiðamerkurjökull's front and float idly in the lake as if performing some slow ballet. A large gravel hill has been created as a lookout point on the lakeshore; check iceberg ledges for basking seals.
Once you've seen the lagoon, make sure you cross the road and walk down to the black-sand beach. The seafront here is littered with transparent ice boulders, the remains of the icebergs which have washed down the 1km-long Jökulsár (Iceland's shortest river) and into the sea – their weird, incredibly sculpted shapes are a striking sight on such a desolate shore.

- Kirkjubæjarklaustur
Grímsvötn and jökulhlaups
Grímsvötn and jökulhlaups
Jökulhlaups are massive, volcanically-induced flash floods that regularly burst out from under Vatnajökull, carrying untold tonnes of boulders, gravel, ice and water before them. One cause of these floods is Grímsvötn, a smouldering volcano buried 400m under the ice cap inland from Skeiðarársandur. The volcano's last major eruption was in 2011, but the biggest event of recent times occurred in October 1996 after a 6km-long vent opened up under the ice. For ten days the volcano erupted continuously, blowing steam, ash and smoke 6km into the sky; then, at 8am on November 5, the melted ice suddenly drained out underneath Skeiðarárjökull, sending three billion litres of water spewing across Skeiðarársandur in a 5m-high wave, sweeping away 7km of road and – despite design precautions – demolishing or badly damaging several bridges. Fourteen hours later the flood rate was peaking at 45,000 cubic metres per second, and when the waters subsided a day later, the sandur was dotted with house-sized chunks of ice ripped off the front of Skeiðarárjökull. Aside from the barren scenery, there's very little evidence for any of this today – the ice has long gone and the bridges are repaired – though if you're heading to Skaftafell, look out for the twisted remains of Skeiðarárbrú, one of the Ringroad bridges destroyed by the event, which are on display by the roadside.
Hiking through Lónsöræfi
Hiking through Lónsöræfi
A dozen or so demanding hiking trails run north through Lónsöræfi and right up to Snæfell. This is a remote area: don't hike alone, and bring everything you'll need with you – warm clothing, food, water and a tent – as weather or navigation errors can see even one-day walks accidentally extended. You'll also want Mál og menning's Lónsöræfi 1:100,000 map. Note that the reserve's waterways are all glacier-fed, making for unpredictable flow rates in summer. Hiking huts along the way are operated by Ferðafélag Íslands (wfi.is).
A short, easy hike (5hr return) follows erratic marker pegs uphill behind the Stafafell Farm hostel onto the moor, above but away from the east side of the Jökulsá í Lóni river. It's slightly boggy heathland, with spongy cushions of moss, low birch thickets and hummocks of gravel; there's a tight grouping of fells looming to the northeast, while the west is more open. Following a general northwest bearing, after a couple of hours you'll find yourself above the shattered, orange and grey rhyolite sides of the Grákinn valley; scramble west down the scree and then crisscross the stream to where the valley appears to dead-end in a wall of dark cliffs. Push through a short canyon and exit to the Jökulsá í Lóni, which you follow southeast downstream along a dull jeep track to the highway and the farm.
Lónsöræfi to Snæfell
The hike from Stafafell Farm to Snæfell takes at least four days. Contact the farm to arrange a lift in a vehicle across the Jökulsá í Lóni at the start of the hike; at the other end there is no public transport from Snæfell to Egilsstaðir, so you'll need to risk finding somebody to hitch with, or contact Tanni Travel (wtannitravel.is), who can arrange pickups. There's one short glacier traverse along the way, requiring a little experience; otherwise you just need to be fit.
Once over the multi-streamed Jökulsá í Lóni, there's a hut and campground at Eskifell. From here, you follow an ever-tightening gorge due north to another hut and campground at Illikambur, around 25km from Stafafell, from where there are several day-walks along side-gorges and up nearby peaks, including a route west up to Rauðhamar for views down onto Öxarfellsjökull, Vatnajökull's easternmost extension.
Back on the main track, around 10km north of Illikambur is Víðidalur, an attractive valley with a campground to the south and lakeside hut 2km to the northwest at Kollumúlvatn, where there are further glacial views and trails northwest to a collection of wind-scoured outcrops known as Tröllakrókar, "troll spires". The next 17km follows Vatnajökull's northeastern edge to the Geldingafell hut; from here, the final stage to Snæfell is a lengthy 35km (avoiding unfordable rivers), first westwards over the tip of Eyjabakkajökull, then bearing north at Litla-Snæfell to the Ferðafélag Íslands' hut on Snæfell's west side.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Picasso wasnt the only artist inspired by politics.
Three Carolinas artists, each in his or her own way, has created art inspired by the Obamas.
Molly B. Right of Charleston translated her vision of Michelle Obama onto a 45-by-60-inch metal panel with 3,000 bottle caps.
Robert Crowell of Boone, inspired by seeing the future president speak in 2004, spent 28 months carving a life-sized Obama, complete with microphone and pin-stripe suit, out of a dead red oak tree.
Miriam Durkin of Charlotte, transfixed by Elaine de Koonings portrait of John Kennedy, captured a relaxed, thoughtful President Barack Obama in oil on a 5-by-3-foot canvas in her studio in South End.
In their own words, each artist describes how the work evolved.
Molly B. Right, 49
Ive been working with bottle caps since 2003. Theyre vintage bottle caps, some dating back to the 1940s, and I get them online. I have millions, cases and cases. Most were found in warehouses and never used. Soda bottle caps. Not beer caps.
First, I work from photographs, and I paint a portrait. Then I apply the caps on top of the portraits. Theres very little paint on the caps, maybe just a little bit around the eyes. I like to keep the natural colors of the caps. The logos provide the color.
Im self-taught. My husband (the muralist David Boatwright) is an artist. Im not an outsider artist or a folk artist. Im not a recluse living somewhere in the woods. Im not insane.
I did Jackie (Onassis) in the spring. I did her after Marilyn Monroe, as an antidote to Marilyn Monroe. Most of my work is by commission. I love doing portraits of strong women. I did Michelle last summer, 2011. I did her because I love Michelle Obama so much.
Theres something about putting the bottle caps on a portrait that gives it more dimension. It sort of gives me my own niche as an artist. Its hard to find something that nobody else is doing. Mine are not computer-driven. Theyre more painterly, more intuitive.
Molly B. Rights Michelle Obama is on display at Elder Art Gallery in Charlotte.
Robert Crowell, 57
Im a woodworker from way back. My father (Charles Crowell of Lincolnton) taught me everything about furniture making.
I saw Obama in the 2004 convention, and I just had a feeling that this guy was going to go all the way. I had just sold a (life-sized) piece Daniel Boone and I sat back and said, What am I going to do now?
I wanted to do something more impressive, more challenging. Obama seemed the way to go. I knew he was going to be popular. For an artist, its pretty bold to do something like that.
I actually cut down the (dead) red oak tree. Once I get the initial shape, I make models out of clay to go by. And I had a photograph of Obama when he was campaigning, with his leg twisted around like that.
One reason I did him in red oak is for the skin tones. You work from the outside in on a piece of wood. You cant make any mistakes because you cant put the wood back. So its a slow process. I use a lot of tools a chisel and a mallet and I do some grinding and then a lot of sanding.
I enhanced his brows and hair with dye. I used stain to enhance the grain in the suit. It made the grain stand out like a pin stripe. All of it is encapsulated in a marine epoxy. It could easily be an outdoor piece. I prefer keeping him indoors.
Robert Crowell: 828-262-3716
Miriam Durkin, 58
Ive been working on figurative paintings for 14 years now. Theyre a tough sell in a market that loves landscapes. I pay my studio rent by teaching. Sometimes Ive questioned what Im doing. Should I paint? What should I paint?
My answer came about five years ago. I visited the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., and encountered the loose, expressionistic portraits of Elaine de Kooning. Her best known portrait is that of President Kennedy.
Back in Charlotte, I decided to go for it. I wanted my paintings to be the visceral result of a personal encounter between subject and artist. I hatched the idea of painting portraits of artistic people in town. Every encounter was an exercise in overcoming fear, stepping to the edge and jumping off. But with each one, I gained the knowledge that I had the skills to revise, re-paint and persevere until I had it right.
Then, this summer, with the DNC coming to town, I remembered de Kooning and her Kennedy portrait. Why not try Obama! Of course, he wouldnt sit for me, but using a stack of photographic images allowed me to study him in various postures and from all angles.
I wanted to capture his casual demeanor and genuine concern for all types of people. I wanted the portrait to look like you were in a conversation with him and how he would put you at ease with his thoughtfulness. I didnt want him to be posing. I wanted him to appear to be a real human being.
Miriam Durkins President Barack Obama is on display at Elder Art Gallery.

Is basing our traditional education system strictly on grading ruining our creativity?
One of my professors actually received an education at a University that did not support a traditional grading system and he said that it was the best education he had ever received. My question is if the traditional school systems and the use of grading teaches us that if we make mistakes you will be penalized, do you think that by switching to another type of education system we could eliminate the our fear of making mistakes while still promoting a creative learning environment?

Feb 11 2013: Rote learning doesn't demand creativity. But rote learning is ridiculous. Is knowing your multiplication tables a self-contained end, or does it empower you to manage your finances and create new technologies etc.?
Education does two things. It allows you to be an industrial cog in the economy (no creativity needed), and it allows you to innovate. Each are a different type of education. Grading promotes rote learning and industrial drones (I speak negatively of it, but it is a necessary function for many people that would rather be cogs). You're asking this question because you're more the innovator type.
So I submit an educational system where instead of letting teachers provide arbitrary number grades, let the market grade you. For example, the market doesn't care what your grades in school were, they're only interested in what you can provide for them. So imagine a system where the market is your feedback and resume builder (instead of test grades and GPA). Imagine going to an employer and showing them you have success marketing X amount of products in X amount of industries and generating X amount of dollars of revenue. Wouldn't your learning be so much more creative and valuable than if you had been graded on your understanding of theory?
Feb 11 2013: I think critical thinking and creative thinking are part of problem solving and thus need to be a focus of everyone's education, regardless of specific career/job ambitions.
There is no one for whom rote learning is adequate, which is why, I believe, the focus has shifted so far from rote learning now in schools.
I don't see that grading necessarily promotes rote learning. Ashley is at university, where she presumably writes thoughtful papers, which are likely not done by rote, as originality of thesis and argument is something professors tend to value and reward- or at least is at all the universities with which I am intimately familiar. Even in mathematics and science classes at university, problem solving may well require some ingenuity rather than a simple application of obvious algorithms with new numbers in them.
I think the main negative effect of college grading is not that you will get better grades if you are a rote learner but rather that grades cause students stress (particularly as they often ride on what happens in two two hour intervals within a whole term) and in some cases may discourage students from taking as challenging coursework as they otherwise might, depending on how wedded to the highest possible grades a student is.

With the stock market continuing to hit new highs almost daily despite the appalling geopolitical disasters and human tragedies unfolding in Ukraine, Gaza, Syria and Iraq, there has been much head-scratching about the baffling indifference among investors. Many economists and analysts see this apparent complacency as a symptom of a deeper malaise: an "irrational exuberance" that has pushed stock prices to absurdly overvalued levels.
The most celebrated proponent of this view is Robert Shiller, the Nobel Prize-winning, Yale University economist who is often credited with predicting both the 2000 stock market crash and the bursting of the U.S. housing bubble. Shiller may or may not have deserved a Nobel Prize for his academic work on behavioral economics but as a practical guide to investing, his approach has been thoroughly refuted by real-world experience.
Shiller's status as an investment guru owes much to the timing of his book "Irrational Exuberance," published just days before the collapse of Internet and technology stocks in March 2000. What is less widely advertised, however, is that for decades, both before and after that predictive triumph, the stock market strategy implied by his analysis has turned out to be plain wrong.
Shiller's argument that stock prices have been inflated to irrational levels is centered on a statistic called the cyclical adjusted price-earnings ratio, or the Shiller price-earnings ratio. Conventional price-earnings ratios divide the current level of share prices by the earnings estimated by analysts for the year ahead.
This ratio for the Standard & Poor's 500 is now around 17. On this basis many conventional analysts, including Federal Reserve economists, conclude that U.S. stock prices are reasonably valued. A price-earnings ratio of 17 implies that if companies can sustain this level of profitability, they will provide investors with annual earnings of one-17th, or 5.9 percent, which compares favorably with long-term interest rates on government bonds of around 1 percent, after adjusting for inflation.

LANSING (WKZO) -- A state of disaster is now in effect for Newaygo and Osceola counties due to flooding from the Muskegon River, severe storms and heavy rainfall.
Governor Snyder issued the declaration to make all state resources available for the counties. More than 400 homes in Newaygo County have been damaged by floodwaters from the Muskegon River, and it could be more than a week before those residents are allowed to return home.
Damage assessment teams hope to be able to get to those houses early next week.

I was always thin growing up, but after I had my three kids, I started gaining weight. No matter what diets I tried or how hard I worked out, I couldn't lose the weight. After taking 8 years off to raise my kids, I decided to go back to work, and I realized it was time to get my body back.
When I first started using SENSA®, I wasn't sure if it would work for me, but when I weighed myself that first week, it turned out that I had lost 4 pounds. I was amazed. By the end of my first month, I started getting compliments from my husband and coworkers. I also noticed that my clothes were getting looser.
With SENSA®, I don't feel like I am on a diet because I don't have to give up any of my favorite foods. I can still eat what my family is having; I simply eat less of it. SENSA® has helped me feel more satisfied from eating smaller portion sizes and, as a result, I now make better food choices. I couldn't have asked for an easier product to use.
SENSA® has changed my life by allowing me to take control of my appetite. I now feel more confident, happier and motivated to keep on going. I am thrilled with my SENSA® journey!
- Desiree

Detroit, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - Reliever Phil Coke will be added to the Detroit Tigers' roster for the upcoming American League Championship Series, the team announced Friday.
Coke had been deactivated for Detroit's Division Series matchup with Oakland due to elbow soreness. He has not pitched in a game since Sept. 18.
Prior to being shut down, the left-hander posted an 0-5 record with one save and a 5.40 earned run average in 49 appearances out of the bullpen.
Luke Putkonen, who did not pitch in the ALDS, will be taken off the roster to make room for Coke. The Tigers have not announced any other changes for the series, which begins Saturday in Boston's Fenway Park.
Manager Jim Leyland stated after Thursday's 3-0 win over Oakland in the deciding Game 5 of the ALDS that Anibal Sanchez would start Saturday's Game 1 against the Red Sox, who will counter with lefty Jon Lester.
Sanchez, who was tagged for six runs -- five earned -- and served up three homers in 4 1/3 innings during the Tigers' 6-3 Game 3 loss to the A's, is expected to be followed by 21-game winner Max Scherzer and 2011 AL Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander in the rotation.
Verlander is coming off a dominating performance in Game 5 of the ALDS in which the All-Star righty yielded just two hits and struck out 10 over eight shutout innings.

American-Made, Goodyear-Welted Chromexcel Boots … by UGG?
If you're like me, you think UGGs are those bulbous boots that college girls inexplicably wear with short skirts on sub-60 degree days.
And they are … but apparently, UGG also offers the Harrisburg: a men's boot, made in Arkansas using Goodyear-welt construction from rich Horween Chromexcel leather. Featuring a commando sole, Poron cushioned insole and—of course—UGG's signature sheepskin lining, the Harrisburg has the makings of a sturdy and comfortable bad weather boot.
Hands on reviews are scarce, but it looks like Alex Kang wore a pair of Harrisburgs through New York Fashion Week and gave them high praise.
I get the sense that the Harrisburg is a new product, and at $295 it's clearly meant to compete with Red Wing's Iron Ranger and the Wolverine 1000 Mile. Only time will tell if it can hold its own against those well-known and well-loved boots.
While I'd love to see it in the deep cordovan Chromexcel known as color No. 8, right now the Harrisburg is available in Black and Chestnut.
Been wearing them 5-6 days a week since NYFW and they're breaking in beautifully. Still stand by these.

UGG australia // Harrisburg
So if you've been following my blog for a minute you know that I'm a huge fan of boots. You also know that I'm a huge fan of beating the crap out of my boots. Well, I got my hands on a pair of the Harrisburg boots from UGG and beat them up real nice during #NYFW. Ran around everywhere in these. Traveled around Manhattan and Brooklyn with these on for 3 days straight and they're already broken in to perfection.
Like the other UGG boots in the lineup, these are SUPER COMFORTABLE. Like it's lined-with-clouds comfortable. I can't think of any other pair of boots or shoes that are as comfortable as these right out of the box, or atleast only after 3 days of wear. Everything on this is premium. The leather upper, the sheepskin-lined insole, Goodyear welt; you name it, this thing's got it. Not to mention it's got the looks too…
I think #NYFW was a major test of endurance and aesthetics, and these boots passed with flying colors.

UGG Australia for Men // The Lion, NYC
Last night UGG for Men hosted an event with an intimate group of influential men at The Lion in West Village to celebrate the launch of their Fall 2013 UGG for Men "For Gamechangers" campaign.
In addition to showing off some really dope boots, they had a panel of guests who were deemed men of character; Sian-Pierre Regis of Swagger New York, Lawrence Cann, CEO of Street Soccer USA, Edward Song, founder of Korilla BBQ food trucks and John DeLucie, Chef & Proprietor of The Lion. There was a brief Q&A session and hearing what inspires these guys to be different was really cool. Very inspirational and motivating.
As always, UGG threw another amazing event, with cool drinks and BOMB food. Thank you UGG for having me out last night. I skipped class for the event and it was totally worth it :)

UGG Australia // Fall 2013
Had the opportunity to swing by UGG Australia's Fall 2013 presentation and above are some of my favorites from the collection.
I know it's easy for everyone to dismiss UGG as being "ugly" or for high-school girls in sweat pants but the people over at UGG have been doing some amazing things. Atleast for the #UGG4Men collection. All of their boots are SUPER comfortable, and as you can see, it's not the UGG you're thinking of. They have a plethora of styles and all are seriously like walking on a cloud.
P.S- The two in the middle are for kids and the one on the right with the Teddy Bear; they need to make that in a men's size. I'd rock those.

The #UGG4men Eddison is a must have for @kangalex #LetsGetLost
"Belly dancers? Where?!"
Got a chance to check out the Spring 2013 collection from UGG Australia and I have to admit, I'm very impressed. I saw a few great looking sneakers and slip-ons that are perfect for the Spring/Summer, but one stood out the most.
The EDGEBROOK (or the low-top version) in the chestnut brown color. Pictures really don't do much justice here, you have to see it in person, it's really cool brownish, orangey color that's just perfect to wear with jeans and a tee.
I really enjoyed their Winter collection too so I'm excited to see where #UGG4Men is headed in the future.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - It's a reason to get moving. As the temperatures slowly but surely increase, the American Heart Association hopes you'll begin healthier habits and walk a little more.
One in three Americans are affected by heart disease. That's one reason why April 3 is National Walking Day - a date to put your lifestyle on the right track.
Seven out ten people aren't breaking a sweat enough. Just as many are overweight. "When you look at the statistics and the people you see here today, there's quite a few who could be affected by heart disease," spokesperson Ashley Mason said.
Tracey Coke knows she's one step closer to better health. Every day she walks before and after work.
"I made the decision a few years ago to lose weight and be more healthy and be more active. I just get out and do it. I'm feeling great - better than ever," Tracey Coke said.
Companies across the metro encouraged employees to walk a little more Wednesday. University of Louisville, and UPS, Fifth Third Bank, Brown-Forman and Kentucky One Health broke dress codes and allowed workers to wear tennis shoes if that's not usually part of their work attire.
