4 Kinnect Star WarsMcG2012 | 03/04/2012 | See all McG2012's reviews (1)Its finally here and well worth waiting for - 5 great games in one and although tiring it keeps you going
4 Fun Filled Jedi Enjoymentbenblue | 14/04/2012 | See all benblue's reviews (4)This game is a combination of the features from a lot of the finest and most enjoyable Kinect titles to date, with a Star Wars theme which simply adds to the cool-factor!The only (very small) thing I have been disappointed with is the extremely short tutorial for Light Saber use. Not enough time is spent perfecting the skill, and when you get into a tougher fight in the game it can leave you a little in the dark.Use of the force is fantastic, and dodging and jumping over things adds to the immersive Kinect experience.Bottom line: If you enjoy playing Kinect and you're a Star Wars fan then this game is a must. Some of the side games like the dance off are also a fun addition for party time!
4 Fun, fun and a bit glitchybabadinka | 08/04/2012 | See all babadinka's reviews (4)This is a really good game- the best kinect game ive played so far - only downside is the occasional glitch when you are in 2 player mode - it gets confused and seems to drop you out. Other than that its all fun and great family play.

Being an electrical engineer, occasionally I like to review the fundamentals of electricity. Kind of fun to see what I remember, but even more important, to see what additional insight a few years of experience might bring to how I view basic engineering facts. I consistently have "Aha!" moments where something I learned many years ago comes into focus, or with more seasoned understanding I know to … Read More

2013 Engadin Wind Best of 3 - Lake Silvaplana
The annual pilgrimage to defend the Engadin Best of 3 Challenge in Lake Silvaplana, 1800 meters high in the Swiss mountains. For the second year running, the kite team took the overall title following high scores in course race, speed and slalom. Competing against the best Swiss foiling moth sailors like Phillip Käsemann and windsurfers including Bjorn Dunkerbeck, Karin Jaggi, Patrik Diethelm and German Champion Sebastian Kördel - the battle was on to determine the best.
The kite team included North Kiteboarding riders Dirk Hanel, Olly & Steph Bridge and Swiss rider Dani Rey, who were all using NKB 2013 Race Ltd boards & NKB 2013 Dyno kites. The North team was joined by Simone Vannucci from Italy. The kite team dominated the course racing from start to finish while the slalom discipline was more suited to Bjorn Dunkerbeck who now has incredible 41 world titles.
The speed discipline was recorded with a speed gun from the judge tower & all athletes had an hour to set some records and get the legs burning. It was Dirk who was holding the fastest speed of over 62km/h (!) for almost one hour and then just in the final minute, Bjorn and Dani spotted a gust and went for final runs bringing their top speeds: Bjorn managed to get to 65,5 km/h , Dani finished with an excellent run over 64,8 km/h putting Dirk into third with 63,5 km/h.
However, although individual performances are important, the overall team is what counts, so for the 2nd year running, the 'Best of 3' trophy went to the kitesurf team & captain - Dirk Hanel.
The traditional Engadin marathon followed on Saturday and over 130 sailors, kiters and windsurfers registered for this spectacular race, which covers approximately 30 km, which is over 4 times the length of the lake.
For his 2nd year running, it was Olly Bridge from Great Britain who won the marathon with Simoni in 2nd and Philip Käsermann sailing his moth just 1 minute behind. Steph Bridge (NKB) won the woman's event while the younger freestyle members of team Bridge - PKRA Youth World Champion Tom & Vice Champion Guy Bridge put a spectacular freestyle show together and showed the crowds some old & new school style off the tower.
Another great event for the North Kiteboarding race team and kiteboarding in general at the 2013 Engadinwind in St. Moritz. See you next year!

After lunch there was a trunk show by this dear lady, who's name I did not catch. (Clearly, I am not a very good journalist. But thanks to Shanda for the head's up - her name is Maxine Oakeson!) Maxine brought some AMAZING vintage quilts. After taking pictures of about 20 vintage quilts, guess who realized they'd forgot their camera card? Fortunately I had an extra in the car and at least got pictures of these two.
This applique quilt was to. die. for. Maxine bought this quilt as a kit on clearance from a department store in the 1960's. It came with all the fabric and the pre-marked backing fabric that showed where everything was to be placed and even has quilting lines marked. It's a Queen size quilt. She does not enjoy applique (even though she totally rocks at it) and has steadily put it together over the years. I loved how current the colors are even though they're from 40 years ago. LOVED it.
This is another antique quilt that was on display. Such a sweet quilt and check out that amazing hand quilting!! I've never seen a quilt so heavily hand-quilted - which is probably why it has survived in such amazing condition. This one is OLD. I'll have to do some-more sleuthing to give it a date estimate.
In other news, if you're a Utah local and want to come hang out and sew with other stitch-y friends, check out this little quilting retreat hosted by Pam of French Knots. I'm keeping my fingers crossed to get away for one of those days of sewing.
Also, the winner of the Sewing Summit Swag has been notified. Thanks to all those who entered for your sweet comments.

Joseph Duncan
Joseph Edward Duncan III is the murderer and kidnapper who attacked a Wolf Lodge Bay family in May 2005.
Kootenai County deputies discovered three dead on May 16, 2005. Brenda Groene, 40; her fiance Mark McKenzie, 37; and her son, Slade Groene, 13, were bludgeoned to death. An Amber Alert was issued the next day for Brenda Groene's two youngest children, 9-year-old Dylan Groene and 8-year-old Shasta Groene.
The murders and children's disappearance launched the biggest investigative effort in Kootenai County's history, at one point involving more than 100 FBI personnel and more than 80 investigators from several other agencies.
Shortly before 2 a.m. on July 2, Shasta was recognized by workers and patrons at the Denny's in Coeur d'Alene, and her kidnapper, Duncan, was arrested without incident.
Duncan, 42 at the time, was a federal fugitive and a Tacoma native who had spent much of his adult life in Washington state prisons for sex crimes against children. He was on the run from a child molestation charge in Minnesota when he drove past the Groene home on Interstate 90 east of Coeur d'Alene and spotted Shasta and Dylan playing outside.
Over the July 4 weekend, investigators found Dylan Groene's remains at a campsite near St. Regis, Mont.
On Oct. 16, 2005, Duncan pleaded guilty to three counts of kidnapping and three counts of murder in the deaths of Brenda Groene, Mark McKenzie and Slade Groene. He was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences for the kidnappings. The sentences for the murders were undecided, pending federal prosecution.
More than two years later, after numerous legal delays and psychiatric evaluations, Duncan acted as his own lawyer as he pleaded guilty to 10 federal counts, including the kidnapping of the two children and Dylan's murder, on Dec. 3, 2007.
On Aug. 27, 2008, a federal jury sentenced Duncan to death. The decision ended the state's earlier case, with a judge imposing three more life sentences for those murders. Later, Duncan was given three more life sentences, for a total of nine, for his federal crimes.
Duncan pleaded guilty in the death of Anthony Martinez, a 10-year-old California boy, adding his 10th life sentence on March 15, 2011. Duncan has also been linked to the 1996 slayings of two young half-sisters in Seattle.

Poached eggs over ricotta cheese on arugula is ready to eat . (AP photo/Matthew Mead)
The beauty of poached eggs is their versatility. Depending on what you pair them with, they can be breakfast, lunch or even dinner.So for this quick and easy weekday meal, I serve them with a bed of arugula, a scoop of ricotta cheese -- one of the most overlooked cheeses in the dairy case (it's good for more than just lasagna and stuffed shells!) -- and a bit of buttered multigrain toast. It's simple. It's filling. And it could be breakfast, lunch or dinner.Want it to be a bit more robust? Just about any cooked and cooled vegetables could be added to the arugula. Leftover roasted winter vegetables, such as butternut squash or carrots, would be great.------POACHED EGGS OVER RICOTTAStart to finish: 20 minutesServings: 44 cups arugula2 cups ricotta cheeseZest of 1 lemonKosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar4 large eggsTruffle oilMinced fresh chives4 thick slices multigrain bread, toasted and butteredDivide the arugula between 4 serving bowls.In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta and lemon zest. Season with salt and black pepper. Divide between the serving bowls, spooning it over the arugula. Set aside.Bring a large saucepan of water to a low simmer. Add the vinegar.Crack each egg into a small glass. One at a time, gently and slowly pour each egg into the simmering water, bringing the lip of the glass right down to the water so that the egg slides in. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to cook them in 2 batches.Cook for 4 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to lift each egg out (letting excess water drip away). Nestle one egg into the ricotta in each serving bowl.Season the eggs with salt and pepper, then drizzle with truffle oil and sprinkle with chives.

Why do I have a reputation change on my reputation page that says "serial upvoting/downvoting reversed"?
What does it mean when it says "serial upvoting reversed" or "serial downvoting reversed"?
When a single user continually votes (up or down) on many of your posts within a short period of time, this is referred to as voting fraud. This could happen for a variety of reasons, such as a user finding a user's great answer and visiting all of their posts to upvote them, or a user getting into an argument with another user and downvoting their posts indiscriminately in revenge. No matter the cause, this sort of systematic targetting voting is not considered normal behavior and the system will not allow it.
If it continues to happen between two users mutually or from one user towards another, or looks just plain suspicious in general, moderators and/or developers may investigate the matter. The votes involved will generally be invalidated as part of an automated process that runs every day and checks for signs of voting fraud. The votes may also be invalidated manually by the staff after an investigation. When the votes are invalidated, the reputation gain or loss from the votes is undone, which results in a record in the recipient's reputation history labelled "serial upvoting reversed" or "serial downvoting reversed".
What if I think I'm the victim of voting fraud?
If voting fraud is in the process of happening or just happened recently to your account, don't worry about it. You should wait at least 24 hours after noticing before becoming concerned, as the automated system should detect it and reverse it for you. If after this period you do not see any fix to your reputation, please contact the team using the "contact us" form located at the bottom of any page.
Should I be concerned about reversal statements on my profile?
No, not at all. It's only an indication of reputation change. After all, we can't control the actions of other users. It's very rare where we'd run across a user who was committing the voting fraud themselves on their own account, and in most instances of that, they will have already been dealt with accordingly. You should in no way be concerned with reversal statements in your reputation history.

Live Blog - Village Vanguard 6.18.08
June 18, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.
Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive, Live Music BloggingWe have reached maximum capacity at the Vanguard tonight. Both sets are
sold out, as is most of the week. Enjoy the show.9:00 First up is Ruby Lou's Lullabye. Named for Brian's niece.
9:11 Kurt Rosenwinkel just blistered the front row with his solo on "Return
of the Prodigal Son."9:17 I really love this song. Both Kurt Rosenwinkel and Melvin Butler solo
beautifully.9:20 "Stoner Hill" is a section of Shreveport, LA. Brian Blade's hometown.
9:23 The title song from Season of Changes, the new recording from Brian
Blade and the Fellowship Band.9:29 An epic, varied song. Could have easily been called "Seasons of Change."
9:36 This song has really whipped the crowd into a frenzy.
9:38 I love the combination of bass clarinet and harmonium. Beautiful.
9:42 Song called "Alpha and Omega." Brian is definitely from the church.
9:46 After a lovely intro from Rosenwinkel, we're motorboating with
"Evinrude Fifty," from Perceptual. Their last record (2000).10:00 I think this is the last song. And it's never heard before. Until now!
Called King's Highway. In Shreveport. Not Brooklyn...

An Interview With Brian Blade

Add new comment | Filed under: blind willie johnson, brian blade, composer brian, drummer, french quarter, Interviews, introspective person, Listening Post, music, new orleans, passion, tomorrow night, village vanguard, wbgoDrummer and composer Brian Blade brings the Fellowship Band to the Village
Vanguard this week. We are presenting them live on WBGO and NPR Music,
tomorrow night at 9pm. Don't miss this.It's never an easy interview when your guest is a quiet, introspective person.
But Brian and I share a passion for music made intently and intensely. I
suppose that's why I love listening to The Fellowship Band. Especially when
they play at the Village Vanguard.Anyway, listen to Brian Blade talk about music. My favorite story? One night,
just before midnight, Brian biked through the French Quarter in New Orleans.
He absolutely had to buy a Blind Willie Johnson record before the store closed.
So Brian gets home, plays the music, and cannot go to bed. The bare sound
of Johnson and his guitar was haunting. One of many stories you'll find when
you listen to the interview here.© 2008 WBGO
WBGO Jazzy Teacher Award
June 17, 2008
Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Education, VideoWhat an exciting honor to take part in the 2nd annual Jazzy Music Teacher contest, sponsored by NJEA, The New Jersey Education Association. This year's winner, Mrs. Tamah Freni, was overjoyed to be honored for her creative efforts in bringing music to life for her students. These inspiring kids joined in a collaborative effort to submit their essays. I snapped pictures and video along the way to capture each moment of how the effort promoted the educational mission of both NJEA and WBGO.
Also receiving honorable mention was Mr. Milt, of The Deron School in Union, NJ, for his efforts in keeping music alive for his special needs students, which received a visit from WBGO news reporter Jen Poyant, to cover the story for our news department, to be featured soon on WBGO Journal. Debbie Kirkland, storyteller, was able to help the children tell their story in an essay that capture judge's attention, along with drawings that included Dizzy Gillespie and Wynton Marsalis.
I have created a playlist of three special videos which capture the excitement of these special educators. Two are of the winning concert given by Mark Gross and his band at Union Valley Elementary in Sicklerville, NJ. I hope you enjoy the bebop dance contest as much as we did...and Mr. Milt and his class, breaking out unexpectedly in song, while Jen Poyant captures all on tape for her soon to come story. Enjoy!

Business intelligence (BI) and analytics need to scale up to support the robust growth in data sources, it has been claimed.
According to IT analyst Gartner, BI leaders require a broadening range of information assets in order to help guide organisational strategy.
Daniel Yuen, research director at Gartner, noted that new business insights and improved decision making with greater finesse are the "key benefits" achievable from turning more data into actionable insights.
This applies whether data is from an increasing array of sources from within or outside of the organisation, he stated.
Mr Yuen commented that vendor development is providing firms with the ability to tap into this wider information base.
As such, they are able to make sounder strategic and prompter operational decisions, he added.
In terms of predictions for the BI sector, Gartner thinks 70 per cent of BI vendors will have incorporated natural-language and spoken-word capabilities into their solutions by 2016.
And by 2015, more than 30 per cent of analytics projects will deliver insights based on structured and unstructured data, the firm has forecast.
Within three years, Gartner expects 65 per cent of packaged analytic applications with advanced analytics to come embedded with Hadoop.

Solar power was first used in 1986 on a large scale, to completely energise the 80,000 square foot Barefoot College campus at Tilonia. The College campus now is totally self-sufficient with a 40 kilowatt solar energy unit meeting all its energy needs.
The College by training rural unemployed youth as well as semi-literate and literate rural women, as barefoot solar engineers, from different part of the country, have since 1986, installed solar home lighting systems in their villages. They also fabricate and produce solar lanterns. More than 200 kilowatt solar energy is being generated across the country thorough systems and lanterns.
Barefoot solar engineers have installed solar photovoltaic (SPV) home lighting systems and fabricated produced solar lanterns across 10 states of India. The results include, among many:
Solar electrifying 300 adult education centres. Solar electrifying 870 schools across the country. 3530 solar lanterns manufactured at the College. 195,000 litres of kersoene saved, by replacing generators and oil lanterns with solar power.
Badakshan (pic) is the first village to be fully solar electrified in Afghanistan - thanks to Barefoot College
What a truly amazing model of imagination, vision and creative and positive development!!

quote:You talk about Riley not even scratching the surface of his potential, but going on to say he's the most technically sound LB in the class. Those two things do not correlate. Him being technically sound actually gives my position more creedence. Because that means he's closer to his ceiling, there is less left for him to learn.
quote:he hasnt been moffitized!!!
quote:I can say for a fact that he will be getting great coaching in high school.
quote:he has been taught the position by an all-american middle linebacker with a record 433 tackles in a four year college career...according to your logic he has reached his ceiling and should only be a 3*
quote:Did you miss the part where he's been at John Curtis for the last 4+ years? Moffit came from Curtis. I already went over this, you aren't actually refuting anything, you're just repeating things that don't really make sense.
quote:jrvente, let me be clear. I'm not saying Riley is not a good player. I am not saying he is not productive. I am not saying he is not talented. I am not saying he does not have the potential to play on an SEC Field. I am not-nor will I ever-debate about whether a kid should be a three, four or five star player. That's a totall subjective discussion that makes zero sense in worrying about or spending your time talking about. What I am saying is that Riley is going to get caught up in a numbers game at LSU that will prevent him from seeing the field. There are simply more talented, more experienced players ahead of him. I've asked you already to explain what the HS landscape looks like in-state for 2014, as well as perhaps give me some background on other LSU targets in our recruiting area. You haven't done that. I've rebutted your discussion points by talking about the depth chart in detail, and then deconstructing the myth regarding his technique as it relates to early playing time. Do you have an actual point to make in repsonse to me, or are you just going to repeat this talk about a one dollar bet? You seem like a guy who is heavy on substance, but I'm trying to give you a different perspective that's also heavy on substance. Its a perspective you may not like. But why not explain to me why you think differently?
quote:I hink it would be in his het intest to go to a different school.
quote:The problem with that is that other school is probably Ole Miss. In 2-3 years when this kid is a tackling machine for the Rebels people are going to be asking why the hell LSU didn't take this kid. Of course we could bump this thread and point out he went to JC and that means he's reached physical peak in high school blah blah blah.
quote:I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. This is fricking stupid, I'm done here.
quote:Dang, had no idea Leon Curtis had 433 tackles in College.
quote:Do you guys know if Duke is taking a visit to Kentucky?

Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I am at high risk for colon cancer because my mother had colon cancer at age 37, my maternal great aunt had colon cancer, and my father's mother died of colon cancer. My question is if someone is at high risk and has had a normal colonoscopy, how often after that should he or she considers having another colonoscopy?
Li Liu, MD, OncoLink Editorial Assistant, responds:
Dear S,
Thank you for your interest and question.
According to the American Cancer Society and the American Gastroenterological Association colorectal cancer screening guidelines, men and women over age of 50 not in a high-risk group (see below) should use the following guidelines:
Jan 26, 2010 - Early colorectal cancer and adenomas may be detected by a simple blood test. In addition, a newer chemotherapy regimen may be superior to standard treatment in patients with stage III colon cancer, according to two studies presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, held from Jan. 22 to 24 in Orlando, Fla.

A lung positron emission tomography (PET ) scan is an imaging test. It uses a radioactive substance (called a tracer) to look for disease in the lungs, particularly lung cancer .
Unlike magnetic resonance imaging (MRI ) and computed tomography (CT ) scans, which reveal the structure of the lungs, a PET scan shows how well the lungs and their tissues are working.
Chest PET scan; Lung positron emission tomography; PET - chest; PET - lung; PET - tumor imaging
A PET scan requires a small amount of radioactive material (tracer). This tracer is given through a vein (IV), usually on the inside of your elbow. It travels through your blood and collects in organs and tissues. The tracer helps the doctor (radiologist) see certain areas or diseases more clearly.
You will need to wait nearby as the tracer is absorbed by your body. This usually takes about 1 hour.
Then, you will lie on a narrow table, which slides into a large tunnel-shaped scanner. The PET scanner detects signals from the tracer. A computer changes the results into 3-D pictures. The images are displayed on a monitor for your doctor to read.
You must lie still during test. Too much movement can blur images and cause errors.
The test takes about 90 minutes.
Most PET scans are now performed along with a CT scan. This combination scan is called a PET/CT.
You may be asked not to eat anything for 4 to 6 hours before the scan. You will be able to drink water.
Tell your health care provider if:
Tell your health care provider about the medicines you are taking. These include ones bought without a prescription. Some medicines can interfere with the test results.
You may feel a sharp sting when the needle containing the tracer is placed into your vein.
A PET scan causes no pain. The table may be hard or cold, but you can request a blanket or pillow.
An intercom in the room allows you to speak to someone at any time.
There is no recovery time, unless you were given a medicine to relax.
This test may be done to:
A normal result means the scan did not show any problems in the size, shape, or function of the lungs.
Abnormal results may be due to:
Blood sugar or insulin levels may affect the test results in people with diabetes.
The amount of radiation used in a PET scan is low. It is about the same amount of radiation as in most CT scans. Also, the radiation does not last for very long in your body.
Women who are pregnant or are breastfeeding should let their doctor know before having this test. Infants and babies developing in the womb are more sensitive to the effects of radiation because their organs are still growing.
It is possible, although very unlikely, to have an allergic reaction to the radioactive substance. Some people have pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site. This soon goes away.

Collegiate teams used regional vernacular for inspiration.
Play Slideshow >>
Five Solar Decathlon Homes Offering Livable Floor Plans, Cool Design
Appalachian State
Stefano Paltera/U.S. Department of Energy
Seen at night, the Appalachian State Solar Homestead featured one of the strongest designs in the competition.
Brittany Young/The Solar Homestead
The Solar Homestead consists of six outbuilding modules that connect to form the Great Porch.
The Homestead's appealing interior is light-filled and airy.
The bathroom features corrugated metal walls.
The Homestead's outdoor living space is protected by an 8.2-kilowatt trellis of bifacial solar cells. Bark siding covers one of the Flex-Outbuilding Modules.
The students designed WaterShed with a strategy that balanced tradition and technology. Inspired by the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem, the home is a model of how the built environment can help preserve watersheds by managing stormwater on site.
Shelley Hutchins
A large window in the bathroom offers a view to the outdoors, while an on-site wetland helps filter and recycle greywater from the shower, clothes washer, and dishwasher.
University of Maryland/WaterShed
The home also features a green roof that slows rainwater runoff to the landscape and improves the house's energy efficiency.
Team Massachusetts' 4D Home integrates efficient technology and passive strategies without compromising simplicity.
Team Massachusetts/4D Home
The home's living room features a movable storage wall and exposed framing.
The open kitchen is surprisingly spacious and bright.
The exposed framing can also be seen in the hallway.
Middlebury College
Middlebury College's Self-Reliance incorporates the best features of the New England farmhouse into a design for the 21st century. The gable roof helps shed snow and rain.
Self-Reliance uses natural finishes and paints, such as linseed oil from the flax plant, natural hard waxes, and paint made from eggshells.
Using the Vermont vernacular, the students distilled the architecture of the New England farmhouse into a pure gable form. The interior features exposed beams.
Parsons and Stevens Institute of Technology
Martin Seck
Empowerhouse by a team consisting of students from Parsons The New School for Design and Stevens Institute of Technology will be expanded into a Habitat for Humanity duplex.
The home will consume up to 90% less energy for heating and cooling than a typical home thanks to a high-performance shell and a highly efficient energy-recovery ventilation system that keeps the interior stable.
Lisa Smith
The home's triple-glazed windows will help reduce heat loss and heat gain.
A straightforward kitchen helped the home tie for first place in the affordability section of the competition.
Team Florida struggled in the overall competition, but its house was cleverly designed. The FLeX House is a prefabricated prototype that opens up to take advantage of passive cooling during mild months and closes down to take advantage of the highly efficient mechanical systems during months of temperature extremes.
The Solar Decathlon student home-design competition is an ideal venue for spotting whiz-bang technologies and cutting-edge innovation, and this year's crop of houses is no exception.
Sponsored by the Department of Energy, the biennial Decathlon is a program that challenges collegiate teams to design, build, and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and attractive.
"The winner of the competition is the team that best blends affordability, consumer appeal, and design excellence with optimal energy production and maximum efficiency," the agency says.
The 19 teams and their solar-powered houses compete in 10 categories (each worth 100 points) that include engineering, hot-water generation, affordability (a new category this year), market appeal, energy balance, and architecture. Because of the number of categories, it's not unusual for teams to do poorly in one area and make up for it in another.
This year's architecture category will be judged by a three-person panel that includes architect Michelle Kaufmann of Michelle Kaufmann Studio in Oakland, Calif., Paul Hutton of Hutton Architecture Studio in Denver, and Bob Schubert, a professor of architecture and associate dean for research in the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech.
The architectural judges will focus on elements such as the scale and proportion of room and facade features, indoor/outdoor connections, composition, and linking of various house elements; holistic design; and the integration and energy efficiency of electrical and natural light, among other characteristics.
Though all schools employed a number of worthwhile sustainable strategies and cutting-edge architectural explorations, some schools opted for market-driven designs that would appeal to a broader segment of the home-buying population. And many designs were inspired by the regions from whence they came.
Fan-favorite (in the People's Choice Awards voting) Appalachian State was inspired by traditional Appalachian settlements for its Solar Homestead project, which is composed of six outbuilding modules connected to form the Great Porch—an outdoor living space protected by an 8.2-kilowatt trellis of bifacial solar cells.
Team Maryland's WaterShed house focuses on protecting watershed environments by managing stormwater runoff. The home "displays harmony between modernity, tradition, and simple building strategies, balancing time-trusted best practices and cutting-edge technological solutions to achieve high efficiency performance in an affordable manner," the school says.
And Middlebury College opted for a very recognizable gable roof for its Self-Reliance home. "We have distilled the architecture of the New England farmhouse into a pure gable form," the school writes. "Tradition guided our design but still allowed us to innovate. We drew primarily upon the gable roof, a regional form, to help us deal with the climatic burden of snow and rain."
Take a look at these and other cool designs from this year's competition.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My sister-in-law has stage 3c ovarian cancer. She has had surgical debulking and is now undergoing 6 carbo/taxol cycles. Do you have an opinion on consolidation therapy? I know it's controversial but could you address it for the rest of us?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
You are right that consolidation therapy (or additional treatment after a complete remission is achieved) is very controversial for patients with ovarian cancer. Currently, there is no standard accepted therapy. Many different regimens have been investigated. Some examples include intraperitoneal radioactive phosphorous (P32), whole abdominal radiotherapy, intraperitoneal cisplatin and etoposide, and intraperitoneal mitoxantrone. A recent large, phase III clinical trial reported preliminary results following treatment with either 3 or 12 months of Taxol chemotherapy. On average, patients in the 12 month treatment group appeared to have a longer interval before disease recurred by 7 months, compared to the patients treated in the 3 month group. These results are only preliminary, and are very controversial as well, since the study investigators stopped the trial before data regarding overall survival could be collected. Also, the additional side effects of 12 months of treatment are concerning (several patients in the 12 month treatment group chose to discontinue therapy because of side effects). Because of the controversy, patients at our institution are not routinely counseled to undergo consolidation therapy outside of the confines of a clinical trial. We will soon begin a clinical trial to study an anti-tumor vaccination as a possible consolidation therapy for ovarian cancer.
Mar 15, 2013 - Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is associated with improved survival in advanced ovarian cancer compared with standard intravenous therapy, according to a study presented at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology's Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer, held from March 9 to 12 in Los Angeles.

Lets think for a moment, are we truly ready for government to disclose and admit (ufos). I mean we may be open minded about it now, but in all reality we have not recieved any confirmation which is a big diffrence between believing, and then having government admitting. Me personally, I believe but I don't know how will I really react if our government actually may the announcement that we are not alone wow I sound so hypocritical right now but am not, its just something about the brain that can play games and really hesitate about things. Anyway it takes a great deal of responsibility as a human being to be expose to all this information and how to articulated among our peers. Glad to be here, and I will support this website. Got your back (JGJ).

"Rock-solid medium!"
This is a rock-solid medium bodied cigar that looks great, lights and burns great, but most importantly... tastes great. Highly recommended.
Jesse CourteManche in Norfolk, Virginia May 11, 2011
"The way A cigar should taste."
My first experience with A Nub Cameroon. Now this is what A cigar should taste like. Good tobacco flavor with enough spices to keep it interesting. Huge amounts of fragrant smoke and to top it off enough nicotine to give A slight tingle to the lips and tongue. A well rounded and satisfying experience. This could be my new favorite. I will definitely be ordering more. Personally I scored this one A perfect 100. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this smoke.
Rodney Beckom in Rockmart Ga. February 20, 2011

Fill the room with light to prevent eyestrain with these easy-to-use light bulbs. Each type of bulb has benefits, such as the sharp light of an incandescent bulb. Save money by opting for bulbs that have longer life spans, which also reduces upkeep time because you replace them less often.
Safety Lighting
Exit and emergency bulbs use eye-catching red light to ensure everyone is aware of them. Emergency lights are a simple and effective way to alert people when something is wrong, such as a fire or a break-in. Lit exit signs are safer and easier to find than versions that lack light, and exit lighting is easy to see in the dark or through haze or smoke during emergency situations.
Halogen Bulbs
When you need soft light, opt for halogen light bulbs. These bulbs are typically used for flood lighting situations, such as exterior lighting of paths, stairs, and parking lots. This lighting is gentle on the eyes because it creates a bright area with few harsh shadows. Halogen bulbs can last up to 2,000 hours, so they can brighten many nights before needing to be replaced, reducing upkeep time.
Energy-Efficient Bulbs
Add energy-efficient bulbs to your table, desk, and floor lamps to save energy and money. Energy-efficient compact florescent lights and regular florescent lights can last up to 10,000 hours. CFL bulbs require no retrofitting and can fit in most standard light sockets, making it easy to upgrade your business to save money and energy. These bulbs cast bright light that's good for use in garages, workshops, and your favorite office.

"Outsmarting the Serial Killer, Finding Romance"
Hostage Moon is a mysterious, fun, and engaging investigative drama. I was hooked by the punchy prose, whip-smart plotting, and strong women characters.
A successful, beautiful woman wakes in a dark alley in a pool of her own blood to learn that she is being toyed with and hunted by a serial killer from her past. She receives aid from an ex-FBI psychologist with problems of her own. The two find they have an undeniable mutual attraction. Will they be able to evade and catch the creepy psycho-villain, and find love at the same time?
An entertaining listen.
"Gender Bending in Sherwood Forrest"
Action, romance, and gender-bending in medieval England; Scarlet is satisfying in every way.
When my daughter was three, she was swept up in the legend of Robin Hood. She dressed up in green and shot imaginary arrows all through the house. She thought nothing of playing a "boy" character. By the time she was four, she'd learned enough at pre-school to know that the only place in the Robin Hood story for girls, was as Maid Marion: waiting.
But Scarlet is waiting for no one. She's on the run from the malevolent Lord Gisbourne and has joined Robin Hood's Merry Men as a boy. Nobody but Robin and Big John knows her secret.
Scarlet can take care of herself. "Rob and John shot daggers at each other. With their eyes, leastways. I'm the only one who shoots real daggers."
But that doesn't preclude some tantalizing romantic tension between her and Robin, "'I'll keep your heart, Scar,' he whispered. 'If you keep mine.'"
Narrated by the honey-voiced Helen Stern, a veteran romance and erotica reader, she brings just the right amount of swagger and vulnerability to our heroine.
"Funny, Poignant"
Aasif Mandvi is familiar to me as a correspondent for the Daily Show, and true to expectations, this audiobook is funny all the way though. But Mandvi sneaks in a serious, vulnerable, and loving side of himself too that gets at the heart of his experiences with racism, immigration, and family relationships.
His description of his father's schemes to get a discount at a series of IHoPs on a road trip across the South are a hilarious contrast with going from auditions for "Aladin" and snake charmer type roles to -- after September 11th, Terrorist, terrorist, terrorist.
His performance brings out aspects in the book that I probably would have missed in print. It's a superb performance.
"Satirical Disembowelment"
Please Don't Tickle Me, Ben Franklin, You Crazy Diamond!
If you haven't peed your pants listening to Josh Kornbluth, you haven't LIVED. Kornbluth is a master storyteller and his comic timing is peerless.
After noticing a passing resemblance to Ben Franklin in the mirror, Josh Kornbluth embarks on a journey of—well not exactly SELF-discovery. More like satrical disembowelment.
I laughed til I cried.
"Small Town Burning"
Amy Jo Burns makes vivid the confines of small town life. That the choices involved in defining a girl's own self will have consequences in her treatment by the town—long after she should have outgrown any labels.
When the town's piano teacher is accused of molesting his students, she's perceptive enough to know that the girls who come forward will be branded and ostracized. She says, "In a small town, innocence can never be overrated. Innocence is a small town girl's currency. It's better not to know what you don't know and to un-know what you already do."
But her own choice of staying quiet burns her up on the inside.
Amy Jo Burns is observant and self reflective without being self-centered. Her writing is fluid and beautiful while being as real as it gets.
Narrator, Jorjeanna Marie gives such an unaffected performance that there is no divide between story and reader. It sounds like she's telling her own secrets.
This book deserves to be heard.
"So. Funny."
Ali Davis keeps a straight face and a kind heart.
For anyone who's been in the retail trenches, or spent time in the sweat-scented aisles of an old fashioned video store, Ali Davis is your voice.
Ali has so much compassion for her customers, while still recognizing the shiftiness and downright unlikability of others. My favorite story is of Ali finding her moment of power, channeling her inner High School Principal and expelling a "jerker" from the porn basement—but things were not what they seemed.
Human nature is laid bare; the politics of singles, couples, and groups; and the "drift" from vanilla to kink. Ali records the faces that people present versus what they rent.
"Forty Years of Astute, Opinionated Criticism"
James Wolcott's writing still packs a punch and a guffaw. It's forty years of astute, opinionated cultural criticism. There aren't many writers around who have such a wide range of interests and can keep you eating it up subject by subject.
Here, I was introduced to the slyly subversive humor of Mort Sahl, and reminded that Rock Hudson and Doris Day have a lot more to offer than a punchline to a joke about squares.
Critical Mass is chock-full of cultural milestones, from the infamous Norman Mailer v. Gore Vidal smack-down on the Dick Cavett Show to a fresh new band performing at CBGBs: The Talking Heads. Where else are you going to get such an immediate account of the New York art scene as it happened, as if it were happening RIGHT NOW?
Kevin T. Collin's narration has the air of seen-it-all, intellectual superiority and braggadocio of a long-time writer and critic. Wolcott holds some strong opinions, and Collins delivers them with conviction.
"Funny as Sin"
The story of God's dysfunctional relationship with his chosen people.
"Like most marriages, it was a non-sexual affair, but unlike most marriages, it was anything but snoozy and passionless. God's marriage to the Jews was a tempestuous, rancorous affair."
The deadpan, impeccable comedic timing of James Urbaniac had me literally laughing out loud as I listened.
After years of research and translation to pithy modern language,
the authors point out that although so many people are saturated in Bible stories, few remember the absolute zaniness that goes on inside.
If you love the Bible or you love a good Bible satire, it's just as satisfying.
"Terrorism, Captivity, Love, and Going Deep"
Vividly written, with thoughtful, perfectly timed narration from Julian Elfer, "Submergence" will stick with me for a long time.
The theme here is depth. Whether it's inward and personal, or literal oceanic depths, the characters are in a constant reckoning; the firsthand experience of global terrorism, love, marine biology, the past and the now.
We first meet James in a windowless room in Somalia, keeping as far from his cardboard covered latrine as he can. His claustrophobic space forces him deeper into his thoughts and memories and his quest to keep a grasp on both dignity and reason.
His great love is Danny, a multi-national Biomathematician. Confident and alone, she's singled out by her background and her intelligence.
Their memories of their fateful meeting in a French hotel keep the book buoyant and is truly thrilling to listen to.
J. M. Ledgard sets the scenes craftily. He conveys the sights and social nuance of place with historical accuracy to build philosophical questions brought up by the intricacies of global life.
"Book Even Better than Oscar-Winning Movie"
This autobiographical novel operates on several levels: a holocaust memoir a thrilling adventure, and a family drama.
Driven from Nazi Germany to Kenya, the family must adjust, with varying levels of success, to life in a completely foreign land. They were glad to be safe from the Nazis, but now had to contend with the racism and anti-semitism of their host nation, and the English colonizers, and also the guilt and worry of what was happening in Europe.
Family dynamics, and the horror and confusion of displacement, are at the heart of this audiobook. The father's haunting guilt, the mother's resistance to change, daughter Regina's embrace of her new land. Africa, from the viewpoint of Regina, seems almost magical and full of possibility, but also completely destabilizing.
Narrator, Max Roll has a wide variety of accents and personalities to contend with, and he does a superb job of making each voice distinct and alive. He brings pathos to the reading that adds tremendously to the story.
"Succeed in Business without Losing your Soul"
Do you consider business writing heartless at worst, and boring at best? August Turak will change your mind. The rather wildly successful Turak takes his lessons from the monks of the Mepkin Abbey and shows how he brought them to work in his business... Fascinating.
What I found especially gratifying were the peeks into the cycles of monastic life. Turak has a keen sense of what motivates and drives people and you see it in his observations here; planting, harvesting, meditation, meals, and also the personalities of the monks who lived there.
Turak narrates himself and does a wonderful job of conveying his interest in the subject and regard for the people he's written about.

The CPK isoenzymes test measures the different forms of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in the blood. CPK is an enzyme found mainly in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle.
Creatine phosphokinase - isoenzymes; Creatine kinase - isoenzymes; CK - isoenzymes
A blood sample is needed. This may be taken from a vein. The test is called a venipuncture .
If you are in the hospital, this test may be repeated over 2 or 3 days. A significant rise or fall in the total CPK or CPK isoenzymes can help your health care provider diagnosis certain conditions.
Usually, no special preparation is necessary.
Tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking. Certain medications can interfere with test results. Drugs that can increase CPK measurements include the following:
This list is not all-inclusive.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel moderate pain, or only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is done if a CPK test reveals that your total CPK level is elevated. CPK isoenzyme testing can help pinpoint the exact source of the damaged tissue.
CPK is made of three slightly different substances:
Higher-than-normal CPK-1 levels:
Because CPK-1 is found mostly in the brain and lungs, injury to either of these areas can increase CPK-1 levels. Increased CPK-1 levels may be due to:
Higher-than-normal CPK-2 levels:
CPK-2 levels rise 3 - 6 hours after a heart attack . If there is no further heart muscle damage, the level peaks at 12 - 24 hours and returns to normal 12 - 48 hours after tissue death.
Increased CPK-2 levels may also be due to:
CPK-2 levels do NOT usually rise with chest pain caused by angina , pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lung), or congestive heart failure .
Higher-than-normal CPK-3 levels are usually a sign of muscle injury or muscle stress and may be due to:
Factors that can affect test results include cardiac catheterization , intramuscular injections, recent surgery, and vigorous and prolonged exercise or immobilization.
Isoenzyme testing for specific conditions is about 90% accurate.
