Observations on British and American English
by an American linguist in the UK
England and America are two countries separated by a common language.
--George Bernard Shaw
BrE = British English
AmE = American English
OED=Oxford English Dictionary (2nd edn. [1989], unless otherwise noted)
Thursday, June 22, 2006
Bin on its own in BrE is usually short for rubbish bin--i.e. AmE trash/garbage can or waste basket. In these you put a bin liner, which in AmE is garbage/trash bag (or in some parts of the US: garbage sack). A wheelie bin is the kind with wheels that you put outside by the (US) curb/(UK) kerb. I know someone who takes part in wheelie bin protests in Brighton. I'm afraid to tell him that I'm pro-wheelie-bin. The bins are a lot less ugly than rubbish (US trash) strewn all over the pavement (US sidewalk) by seagulls. Big wheelie bins would be called dumpsters in the US, but so would the things that are called skips in Britain. (Click the links for pictures.)
In BrE, bread is stored (not thrown away) in a bread bin, which in AmE is bread box.
Another bin I see a lot in the UK, but haven't heard in the US (though maybe an oenophile will tell me it's used there too) is a wine bin, which is a stack of bottles of wine. This gives rise to the notion of a bin end, that is, the last bottles of a certain wine, which are offered at reduced price. One of the big British off-licence (AmE liquor store, and many regional variations on this) chains is called Oddbins.
Both countries have storage bins and recycling bins, but only Americans name a part of the fridge the vegetable bin. Some Americans call the same fridge part a crisper. While I have found vegetable bin in fridge specifications in the UK, I believe that it's US copy. The UK equivalents I've heard are vegetable drawer (also good in the US), vegetable tray and vegetable box.
So, the moral of the story is that bin is a very useful word, but not so useful that you can predict with confidence which things will be called bin in another English-speaking country and which things won't. Containers in general suffer a lot of transatlantic name shifting, but I'll write about pots and cartons and jugs some other time...
Getting back to the Swedish start of this entry, I ought to give a little credit where it's due. Part of the inspiration for this blog is a lovely blog on the expatriate experience called How to Learn Swedish in 1000 Difficult Lessons. (I found this by chance when I started learning Swedish, then by chance found out that I'm two degrees of separation from its author, Francis Strand, but I've never had any contact with him.) As the name of the blog suggests, it does have a linguistic perspective, with a Swedish word of the day relating to whatever was discussed.

Vänta bara tills du kommer i kontakt med finlandssvenska och finlandismer.
Tr. Just wait until you come in contact with Finnish-Swedish and the identical words with different meanings than in Sweden.
Not that it's a given that you ever will, but the difference there is similar to the topic of this blog; differences in pronunciation and terms. Not to forget the dialects in both countries...

Jag talade lite svenska i Åbo två ar sedan--men jag kunde inte svenska tillrackligt för att märkera skillnaderna. Om någon skriver en blog om svenska dialekter skulle jag läser den.
(Translation--if I got it right: I spoke a little Swedish in Åbo (Turku, Finland) two years ago--but I didn't know Swedish well enough to notice the differences. If someone is writing a blog about Swedish dialects, I'd read it! [so long as it's not in Finnish!])

In relatively recent years, "bin" has begun to be used as a verb in UK English, "bin it" being shorthand for "throw it away/put it in the bin".
It has even acquired a past tense: "It was rubbish, so I binned it".
- 13 August, 2006 12:41
Then there's the "loony bin". Do they have those in the UK?
- 13 March, 2007 20:52
What about dustbin? I got called that once for eating a lot of food... (It was not in fact that much food.)
- 14 March, 2007 01:31
- John Cowan said...
The OED now traces the verb bin, in the sense 'to put in a waste-bin; to throw away; hence, by extension, to discard' to 1940, so the "relatively recent years" aren't in fact so very recent.
There's a selective-attention effect called the recency illusion; when you first notice a word or phrase, it seems like it's quite new even if it's been around for decades.

Incidentally, regarding "off-license" vs "liquor store", the usual Australian term is "bottle shop".
- 07 May, 2008 02:47
- lynneguist said...
It's bottle shop in South Africa, too.

And as I mentioned in my email yesterday, a food bin where the contents are fed to chickens (AusE "chooks") is sometimes called a "chook bucket". At least, this was the term I grew up with on my parents' farm.

My Irish mother says "vegetable crisper". I thought of teaching this to my housemates, who kept filling it with beercans; but decided it was best not to.

Re: rubbish (BrE)/trash (AmE). In Hawaii, where my family is from, it's quite common to say "rubbish" rather than "trash" (perhaps a leftover from 19th century British influence in the islands?). I've gotten odd looks from people in my current home in Northern California when I mention cleaning up the "rubbish".
- 25 June, 2008 06:03
- Harry Campbell said...
And of course there's the "recycle bin" on the Windows desktop, which I assume to be equally well established in BrE and AmE thanks to Mr Gates' empire. It still sounds odd to me though, I would have called it a "recycling bin".
Excellent post, reflecting how these things are rarely as simple as we might assume. Eg "dumpster" is not always "skip" but also refers to the large sort of 4-wheeled commercial wheelie-bin. Which makes me wonder how you specifically refer to that in AmE: wheeled dumpster or something?

FREMONT -Terra State Community College and Ohio University announced Friday they have entered into a partnership to allow students to finish three years of a bachelor's degree while attending Terra.
As a result of the new partnership, Terra students will be afforded the opportunity to earn a bachelor's degree by completing part up to three years of their higher education on Terra's campus and the remainder of academic courses at Ohio University. The partnership includes an option of earning a degree through distance learning, so students could remain in Fremont while attending OU.
The two academic institutions announced their partnership at a signing ceremony on Terra's campus Friday.

Andy Carroll dean of engineering, technologies and math at Terra (far left), Jerome E. Webster, president of Terra State Community College (center), and Deb Gearhart, Ohio University associate vice provost for strategic partnerships and eLearning, sign the memorandum of understanding for the new partnership.
"Terra State is excited to partner with Ohio University in offering our students the opportunity to continue their education and complete their bachelor's degree from one of Ohio's premiere institutions of learning," Terra President Jerome E. Webster said. "With their strong academic programs and committed and dedicated faculty and staff, we at Terra State could not be more pleased to join forces in extending educational opportunities for students with OU. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership that benefits our shared students."
The collaboration between Terra and Ohio University would offer individuals who have earned an associate degree in a technical field from Terra an opportunity to complete a bachelor's degree from Ohio University without leaving the region.
"We at Terra look for many opportunities to allow for our students to seamlessly transfer to our other four-year partners," Webster said.
Webster said Terra has a similar agreement with Miami University with its engineering program, among Terra's other 17 partnerships with four-year institutions.
Two degree programs are expected to be offered initially as part of the agreement: criminal justice and nursing. Terra State students who have completed an associate degree in a criminal justice area may earn a bachelor of criminal justice degree. Graduates of Terra State's registered nursing program will be able to complete a bachelor of science in nursing through a program designed with working nurses in mind.
Webster said both of the institutions anticipate adding other program options in the future.
"While pursuing their bachelor's degrees, students will have the option of taking some of the required academic courses from Terra State while they take others from OU," Webster said.
Ohio University Vice Provost for eLearning and Strategic Partnerships Deb Gearhart said, "We are pleased to be able to offer students whose work and family circumstances prevent them from attending classes at Ohio University's Athens campus the opportunity to experience the academic excellence that is a hallmark of our bachelor's degree programs."
According to a release provided by Terra, the new programs will provide affordable options for students who may not desire or be able to relocate by offering savings on the cost of tuition toward a bachelor's degree. Students in the programs would pay the Terra tuition for any courses taken on its campus and only $240 per credit hour for courses taken online from Ohio University by Ohio residents.
The partnership also streamlines transfer of credits, student services and financial aid activities for students in the program, facilitating the ability to move easily between the two institutions' systems.

A few months ago, we had the pleasure of meeting an up-and-coming Vancouver photographer, Magie. Since the last time we chatted with this fabulous girl, Earthling Photography was born and we're dying to bring them to Toronto!
{ Magie + her camera }
Magie loves her camera. She has been shooting anything and everything for over a decade, and about a year ago, she decided to officially make the switch from criminal defence law to professional photography.
How does one end up switching over from law to photography, you ask? "There's nothing more beautiful in life than a couple in love." Magie explains.
Magie is most proud of her photos for their natural-feel and how they convey a sense of being in the moment."I don't create the story. Every couple has their own unique story. It's just my job to capture it in such a way that it can be re-told, over and over, forever."
Recently engaged to the love of her life, Bride-To-Be Magie knows the importance of details. "A photographer needs to capture everything near and dear to the Bride and Groom's hearts".
"It's not just about the ceremony, the formal shots, and the speeches. It's about the way her ring sparkles in the sunlight, the tiny little DIY cake toppers the bride slaved for hours over, a stolen glance between father and daughter from across the room, or a special embrace between bride and groom. Sometimes, the most picture-perfect moments are captured by accident".
Meticulous scheduling, a keen eye, and a passion for what she does, ensures that no detail goes un-captured by Magie and her team.
{ Earthlings, Laura + Dean }
We stumbled upon this wedding in our chats with Magie and absolutely had to share it with you. Gorgeous DIY rustic elegance and eco-charm, captured in all its creativity and downright loveliness.
{ Earthling + WG }
If you book Earthling Photography to shoot your wedding, WeddingGirl.ca will match your photography package with a $1500 planning + coordinating package including professional event design, planning, and Day Of Coordination (a $3000.00 value).
Note: Earthling Photography services can also be booked exclusively at the promotional rate.
For more information or to check availability for your wedding date, please feel free to get in touch!

The 21st century continues to be a devastating period for Scientology.
Let's count the ways:
• The Internet. A torrent of criticism from defectors and critics, and once-secret doctrine that can cost members $100,000 and more to learn about, are now all over the Internet – and beyond the reach of church enforcers.
• Journalistic exposés. Scientology's aggressive strategy of suing critics backed by an army of attorneys and private investigators chilled investigations for years. But series by the St. Petersburg Times, the Boston Herald and The Buffalo News, and probes by several major magazines have again lifted a veil on Scientology's controversial practices.
• Pop culture. Scientology has long wrapped itself in Hollywood's glow, but its once biggest asset, Tom Cruise, has arguably become a liability. His jump onto Oprah Winfrey's couch, anti-psychiatry rant against Matt Lauer and others' credible claims that Scientology leaders procured candidates for the role of Mrs. Tom Cruise haven't helped his or the church's public relations. Nor did a brutal takedown aired on "South Park".
Now, the latest assault on Scientology's attempt at a carefully crafted image comes in the form of Lawrence Wright's "Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood & the Prison of Belief." It arrives 1½ years after Janet Reitman's insightful expose, "Inside Scientology: The Story of America's Most Secretive Religion."
The Pulitzer Prize-winning Wright's research-driven, evenhanded approach may have church higher-ups wishing he had thrown Molotov cocktails instead. They may also regret supplying Wright with 47 binders of documents.
The church did so in response to 971 fact-checking queries posed by the New Yorker for an article Wright was developing on former Scientologist and screenwriter/director Paul Haggis (Oscar-winner "Crash," the script for "Million Dollar Baby"). Wright has said it was the information in those binders that triggered his idea for the book.
"Going Clear" – the title stands for an elevated state of mind in Scientology, in which a person is said to no longer suffer from unwanted emotions and painful trauma – is divided into three parts.
There's the history of Scientology and its founder, L. Ron Hubbard; the church's efforts to market its product with movie stars; and the central question that looms over the book:
Why do people – from Hollywood stars to low-level members – remain in a religion that operates an extensive system of control, including labor camps, and demands that members break away from family members and friends who challenge the church's credibility?
Hubbard's story is improbable enough – he was, after all a prolific writer of pulp and science fiction before creating an international self-help religion.
But he was also a failed explorer; a dabbler in black magic, a naval officer who embellished his military record and an unindicted co-conspirator when Scientology attempted in the late 1970s to gain access to files in numerous federal agencies, in what still remains the largest espionage case hatched against the United States.
Hubbard's personal life was just as messy. Wright writes that he was a serial womanizer who abandoned his first family, married his second wife before divorcing his first and had a penchant for beating up women while promising salvation to the faithful.
Hubbard was also an absentee father whose first words when learning his troubled son Quentin was found dead were reportedly, "That little s– has done it to me again!"
The parental abandonment of children, lack of proper schooling and forced child labor are one of a mind-blowing assortment of disturbing aspects of Scientology recounted by former members, including how Hubbard put a misbehaving 4-year-old in isolation for two days because he believed children were essentially adults in smaller bodies.
Despite extensive research, much of Hubbard's story still proves elusive. Wright doesn't try to explain how the at-times mentally unhinged Hubbard could oversee such an extensive organizational network, often from shipboard, or how he retained loyalty despite numerous acts of strangeness and cruelty.
Hubbard's astonishingly prodigious writing output is noted, but Wright never shows how it connected with his other exploits.
Hubbard's ever-sprawling and mind-bending story is presented in a necessarily linear narrative, but without the added depth that could help better understand a man who seems at times to cross the line between a dark inventiveness and insanity, but mostly seems egomaniacal and cartoonish.
Judge Paul Breckenridge, speaking in Los Angeles Superior Court, in 1984 in a case concerning a Scientology archivist turned critic, doesn't mince words in describing Hubbard: "The organization is clearly schizophrenic and paranoid, and this bizarre combination seems to be a reflection of its founder LRH. The evidence portrays a man who has been virtually a pathological liar when it comes to his history, background and achievements. The writings and documents in evidence additionally reflect his egotism, greed, avarice, lust for power and vindictiveness and aggressiveness against persons perceived by him to be disloyal or hostile," Breckenridge said.
"At the same time, it appears that he is charismatic, and highly capable of motivating, organizing, controlling, manipulating and inspiring his adherents. … Obviously, he is and has been a very complex person, and that complexity is further reflected in his alter ego, the Church of Scientology."
The judge added: "[The court record is] replete with evidence [that Scientology] is nothing in reality but a vast enterprise to extract the maximum amount of money from its adepts by pseudo-scientific theories."
Former church higher-ups say the power-hungry and short-tempered qualities of Hubbard have carried on with his successor, David Miscavige.
He quit school to work full time with Scientology on his 16th birthday, and ruthlessly orchestrated his rise to power shortly after Hubbard's death in 1986.
Wright cites 11 people who say they were beaten by Miscavige, and 22 who witnessed such abuse.
He claims Miscavige lives a lavish lifestyle, with food costs for his family and guests averaging $3,000 to $20,000 a week.
That's in stark contrast to members of the Sea Org, Wright says, who sign billion-year contracts to serve the church and in 2005 were served meals that cost an average of 70 cents and were paid $50 a week.
More bad news is said to be on the way for Miscavige and the organization he presides over with the publication this month of "Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape," written by his niece, Jenna Miscavige Hill.
The lives of lowly Scientologists, Wright says, escape the radar of Hollywood stars who, like all members of the church, are warned against – and sometimes punished for – reading anything critical of Scientology.
It took Haggis 34 years before he left and denounced the church as a "cult."
Haggis admitted he had doubts about Scientology decades earlier, when he reached Scientology's OT III level and Hubbard's "sacred scripture" involving Xenu was revealed.
Xenu, a galactic ruler, allied with psychiatrists and others 75 million years ago to kill billions of members of the overpopulated Galactic Confederacy. Their bodies were flown in aircraft resembling DC-8s to Earth, dropped into volcanoes and blown up with atomic bombs.
Being immortal, these extraterrestrial spirits were placed in front of a "3-D, super colossal motion picture" for 36 days, implanted with images Hubbard called R6 implants.
Upper-level Scientologists are taught that these 75-million-year-old disembodied souls attach themselves to living people, and only Scientology's techniques can remove them and save humanity.
As for Xenu, Hubbard wrote, he is locked up in an electrified wire cage buried in a mountain and "is not likely ever to get out."
Thank God.

Typically, Masai Ujiri likes to tinker with his team at the trade deadline.
The Denver Nuggets executive vice president of basketball operations rarely sits this one out, orchestrating a blockbuster trade that sent Carmelo Anthony to New York two years ago and landing athletic big man JaVale McGee from Washington last season.
This time, though, Ujiri figured the best deal for his young team simply was not to make one.
Sure, he listened to offers. And yes, he even pitched a few.
But Ujiri decided to give the Nuggets an opportunity to develop this season instead of disrupting their growth with a splashy move.
Speaking after the deadline Thursday, Ujiri said he doesn�t think this squad is quite ready to be a �contending team� but given time they could turn into one, especially with emerging players such as Ty Lawson, Danilo Gallinari and Kenneth Faried leading the way.
That�s why he elected to leave them be for now. They�re currently fifth in the Western Conference.
�Nothing tickled us,� Ujiri said of the trade proposals. �We need to be patient as a team and an organization, to grow a little bit. Just see how it goes.�
That�s fine with coach George Karl. He likes this team. So he was quite pleased to have all these pieces still in place.
�With young players, there�s a confidence that comes with familiarity and continuity,� Karl said. �There�s a confidence that comes with being in a system, knowing what the coach wants, his philosophies on the court. More than anything, I think we�re trying to build an organization and a team that people want to be around, and people want to be here. I think we�re doing all of that pretty well.�
Still, the morning led to some anxious moments for several Denver players.
To keep relaxed, Andre Iguodala did what he usually does � stayed long after practice was over to shoot jumpers. It seems like his name always surfaces at the trade deadline.
�It�s really hard,� said Iguodala, who was acquired by Denver in a four-team, 12-player deal in August. �It�s like being transferred from a job. You�ve got to pick up and leave for somewhere else. New surroundings. You don�t know anyone. Yeah, you might have money, but if you truly love the game, it�s really not about that. It�s about going out there, performing and just enjoying the game.�
He laughed.
�I guess you take it as a good thing,� Iguodala said. �It makes you feel like you�re wanted.�
Timofey Mozgov saw his name surface in trade speculation as well and would�ve been open to a deal, simply to get more playing time. The Russian center doesn�t see much court time playing behind McGee and Kosta Koufos.
Only, Ujiri wasn�t about to part with Mozgov.
�Big guys take a long time to develop. We understand that,� Ujiri said. �We�ve seen his progress. We haven�t seen the end with him. ... We feel like he can get better.�
Holding back was a big decision for Ujiri.
�We feel we�re at a stage where we will leave them to grow,� he said. �If you bring something in here that�s not making a big difference, then you�re messing with a couple of guys and their growth. We felt that standing pat is the best way to go. We�re the third-youngest team in the NBA. We feel like these guys are growing. We feel like from the beginning of the season to now, we�ve made some progress.�
Now if only someone would emerge as a locker-room leader.
�That�s something this team has to get stronger at, instead of me being the policeman of the team all the time,� Karl said.
While he�s at it, Karl wouldn�t mind another consistent shooter, either. Someone like, well, Gallinari, who�s steadily becoming more dependable.
�I don�t think there�s any question that shooting the ball is something that we have to examine somewhere along the way,� Karl said. �Statistically, a lot of the formulas we study, they say if we shot the ball better we�d be tremendously efficient.�
Still, the Nuggets boast one of the best home records (23-3) in the league.
�I honestly think we have a pretty good team,� Iguodala said. �If we improve and continue to be on the incline, as far as our basketball IQ, and continue to grow with one another, we�re going to be a really good team, and we�ll be scary.
�We�ll continue to fly under the radar, but it�s really up to us to believe in each other and keep playing.�

Led by Ruby Wood's first-place finish, the Truckee snowboard team took the overall win in a CNISSF slalom race at Squaw Valley last Monday.
Wood posted a winning time of 42.1 seconds between her two runs, which was just fast enough to defeat Nevada Union's Drew Bernadett, who finished second in 42.7 seconds, and Colfax's Nelly Steinhoff, who was third in 43.2.
Truckee's Nicole Graham placed sixth in a time of 50.4, while teammate Claire Roberts placed eighth in 50.96 to give the Wolverines three top-10 finishes. They were followed by teammates Sofie Maciel (12th, 52.32) and Wynter Lim (17th, 56.02).
Courtney Peters led the North Tahoe girls, as she finished seventh in 50.48. Fellow Laker Roxy Schumann was 13th in 52.57 and was followed by Brie Dubuc (18th, 56.35) and Sierra Aildasani (20th, 59.38).
The Nevada Union girls, with three racers in the top five, won the girls team competition with 1,868 points to the runner-up Truckee girls' 1,852. The North Tahoe girls were third at 1,786.
On the boys side, Jacob Peek of Placer High won in 40.97 seconds. He was trailed by Kyle Bryant of Colfax in 41.58, while Truckee's Quinntin Butler took third in 43.33.
Truckee's Ryan Murphy finished fifth in 45.89, Casey Curtis was 16th in 50.54 and Devron Kim 20th in 52.04. For the Lakers, Nash Baehr led the way with a 19th-place finish in 51.59.
The Placer boys took the team win with 1,874 points, Truckee was second with 1,786 and Davis was third with 1,775.
With their boys and girls each placing second, the Wolverines claimed the overall victory with a combined score of 3,638 points to Placer's 3,539 and Nevada Union's 3,532. Davis was fourth with 3,419 points, followed by Colfax (2,992) and North Tahoe (2,588).

The Importance of Tryouts
Every year tames have tryouts for the team the first week of the season. This is an important step in make your schools team better. Some teams that don't do so well don't have tryout because they have a hard time getting kids to play and investing a large amount of money into the sport. If there are 60 spots on the team and you have 40 come to tryouts then you have no choice you take everyone that came. But, if 85 kids come out you then take the top 60 kids. Or whoever each coach handles cuts. I might have to make a couple cuts this year but, won't know until March 9th.
The more success one team has the more kids want to play. So, how do you get more kids to tryout before the season starts? I think the best thing to do if your school isn't into lacrosse is getting the kids informed. You can do this many different ways. Hold a meeting about the game and shoe a tape of the game. Bring equipment to the meeting and have players on the team show them tricks. The average kid that shows up will be interested in playing. Lacrosse is a cool sport to play and looks like a lot of fun. But, the problem is after you get them hooked.
That problem is money. If you can make it easier on the patents pocket book then, you will be able to get more kids to play on your team. You have to have a lot of patent support and are willing to do a lot of fundraising. To make it cheaper for new players to play lacrosse. Buying used pads isn't always the key.
Then after you hold this meeting do a lot of following up to make sure the kids are still interested and are going to play. Then when tryouts happen you will have more kids than expected. Yeah, it would not be fun to make cuts as a coach, but your team will be better because you have better players. Why do you think the larger schools are better at sports? Because they have more kids to choose from to make their team.
I spend a lot of time in the off season on trying to promote lacrosse in my area. My passion for the game doesn't just take place during the season. I want people to at least try to play lacrosse, because I feel they will like it. And the more people that like it and know about lacrosse the more people tryout for the team. And I hope that number goes up for every team this year.

Tech genius Steve Jobs once said: "I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance."
To be sure, it does take perseverance to launch a startup. And if you follow Jobs' reasoning, it takes even more perseverance to achieve success with a startup.
Executives at six US startups are striving for success with some fascinating ideas – from the "Groupon for groceries" to an online "elite" university. These six fledgling businesses are some of the coolest startups that have made waves this year.
Aisle50 Inc.
What it does: The company's goal is to "bring to the people exceedingly excellent grocery deals from the best brands in the world. No fuss, no muss. Just deals, baby!" It's informally known as the "Groupon for groceries."
Website: aisle50.com
Headquarters: Chicago
Co-founders: Riley Scott and Christopher Steiner
Most recent funding: $2.6 million in January 2012
What they're saying: "We've written about plenty of Groupon clones and 'Groupon for X' ideas before now," TechCrunch wrote in January 2012. "And while many of them have fallen by the wayside, Aisle50 has a few tricks up its sleeve that help differentiate it from the myriad clones. And, more importantly: it's getting traction with some key brands and chains in the industry, and its early stats look solid."
GoodRx Inc.
What it does: On the web and through an iPhone app, GoodRx lets consumers shop for affordable medication. GoodRx lists more than 1 million prices for more than 6,000 brand-name and generic drugs at every major US pharmacy chain and many local stores.
Website: goodrx.com
Headquarters: Santa Monica, Calif.
Co-founders: Doug Hirsch and Scott Marlette
Most recent funding: More than $1 million in February 2012
What they're saying: "When it comes to prescription drugs, many are covered by health insurance policies, but there's a chance that GoodRx can still save searchers money by finding prices below their co-pays, surfacing bargains in the same way Kayak does for airline tickets," TechCrunch wrote in February 2012. "GoodRx could represent big savings for the millions of Americans who let their prescriptions go unfilled because they can't spare the extra cash."
The Minerva Project
What it does: The Minerva Project, set to enroll its first students in 2014, bills itself as "the first elite American university launched in a century." It's essentially an online version of an Ivy League school.
Website: minervaproject.com
Headquarters: San Francisco
Founder: Ben Nelson
Most recent funding: $25 million in April 2012
What they're saying: "The … company is out to reinvent American higher education with an intensely strong focus on academics and intelligence," VentureBeat reported in April 2012. "The admissions process doesn't consider your lineage, your citizenship, your ability to throw a football, or how much money your family can donate, and hopes to weed out the students whose athletic abilities or monetary status would otherwise help them get into college."
What it does: Think of Pathbrite as LinkedIn on steroids. Pathbrite says its online portfolios "enable individuals to go beyond static resumes to vividly chronicle and showcase a lifetime of achievement in order to secure important goals like getting into a preferred school or landing a first job."
Website: pathbrite.com
Headquarters: San Francisco
Founder: Heather Hiles
Most recent funding: $2.5 million in June 2012
What they're saying: "Outside the classroom and, increasingly, within it, students use all kinds of media platforms to express themselves and learn," GigaOM reported in June 2012. "But when it comes to showing off their achievements, it's usually still just about test scores and text. … Pathbrite, however, aims to change that with a digital portfolio platform that lets students and professionals collect, track and share a range of content showcasing their accomplishments — from videos and photos to transcripts and recommendations."
PetHub Inc.
What it does: PetHub's web-based service aims to reunite lost pets with their owners.
Website: pethub.com
Headquarters: Issaquah, Wash.
Founder: Tom Arnold
Most recent funding: $1.3 million in June 2012
What they're saying: "The company uses a combination of online pet profiles and scannable ID tags that allow anyone with a mobile phone to quickly access everything there is to know about the pet, including the owners' contact information, the pet's allergies and medications, dietary needs, immunizations, vet insurance details and more," TechCrunch reported in June 2012.
What it does: The company hopes to "reinvent" the car rental experience at the airport. How? For one thing, it will rent just one make and model: a silver-colored 2013 Audi A4. For another, Silvercar customers – primarily business travelers – won't stand in line at airport check-in counters; instead, customers with reservations made through a travel agency, the Silvercar app or the Silvercar website will head directly to one of the available Audis. Silvercar's first locations haven't been announced yet.
Website: silvercar.com
Headquarters: Austin, Texas
Co-founders: Todd Belveal and Bill Diffenderffer
Most recent funding: $11.5 million in October 2012
What they're saying: "It's … designed to be cheaper than your run-of-the-mill rental company like Hertz or Avis," VentureBeat reported in October 2012.

text: The "Mara des bois" strawberry is a speciality cultivated by fruit and vegetable growers in Geneva, who harvest 100 tonnes of them a year. The unusual, particularly tasty flavour of the "Mara des bois" is reminiscent of wild strawberries. Thanks to its deep red colour, its soft, juicy flesh and exquisite flavour, it has become the favourite strawberry of people in the Geneva area. Available from supermarkets and markets, from May right through to the autumn.

5 Sequels Made By People Who Must Not Have Seen the Original
"Yes, this looks like something a sane person would buy."
But we're not talking about sequels that shouldn't have existed. We're talking about sequels that couldn't have, because the plot of the previous movies made them a logical impossibility, and yet they did. Apparently there's no reasoning with movies like ...
Jaws: The Revenge
Jaws invented the summer blockbuster, is the most famous and profitable movie about people getting eaten ever made -- including Debbie Does Dallas -- and to this day, is the one joy of children made to learn the cello. The sequels were stuck with trying to make "SHARK! AGAIN!" interesting, and plausible.
The conceit of the second film is the same as the first: A giant shark is eating people off of Amity Island, and nobody will believe Sheriff Brody when he says that's what's happening. In the third movie, nobody will believe Chief Brody's son that a shark has broken into Sea World and is eating people, presumably because that could never happen anywhere but inside the mind of a crazy person.
"Please note that we haven't even arrived at the most implausible sequel yet."
In the fourth film, Jaws: The Revenge, a fourth shark eats Sheriff Brody's other son in the waters off of Amity Island, because sharks are apparently both capable of swearing blood oaths, and remarkably persistent about carrying them out. And here's where things get really far-fetched.
The ImpossibilityThe Revenge was impossible in more directions than Escher. Lead actor Roy Scheider refused to return, because the previous disasters had done more aquatic damage than the Exxon Valdez. He went on to make SeaQuest DSV, safe with the knowledge that it now couldn't be the worst thing ever filmed on the ocean.
And Poseidon knows it tried.
After her son is killed by yet another giant great white shark, Ellen Brody leaves Amity Island for the Bahamas, and I'd like to congratulate one of Amity's suicidal bait-monkeys for finally having that idea. Almost as if they're unprepared for the inclusion of logic in a Jaws sequel, the shark follows her. Did the shark hire a PI? Was there a great white sitting in the back of the plane with an extremely dark hat and glasses? The only question the writers appear to be interested in having answered is, "Holy shit, you're still watching these movies after that Sea World one?"
To be fair, they have a point. The shark is the least threatening fish this side of sushi. It moves like a sock puppet and attacks like a grandmother plugging in a USB key. Meanwhile, the heroes are worse at aquatic combat than flamethrowers. The climax is an estranged mother and son crying at each other on a tiny boat. That's not after the final showdown, that's during it. A franchise couldn't ruin its final showdown worse if the T1000 had suddenly become vulnerable to the power of friendship.
After decades of having everyone close to her eaten by sharks, Ellen has developed the ability to be traumatized by sharks, freezing up and flashing back every time she sees it. This is especially when she's doing something vital like steering the boat. And just like every '80s movie, the stupidest ability possible saves the day! Just before gently prodding the shark with the boat's bowsprit, she flashes back to a sepia-toned clip of the original movie's "Smile you son of a bitch!" So even the flashbacks are impossible because the only living thing to see that immediately became a hundred buckets of oxygenated chum.
And reminding audiences of the original at this point was just cruel.
The impact somehow causes the shark to explode like a blood-filled balloon, thus bringing the franchise to a merciful ending.
Jaws 4 sucks more impossibly than a black hole.
Highlander: The Quickening
Highlander made audiences care about swashbuckling at a time when every action movie was required to feature explosions by inventing swashbucklers who caused explosions. When two of the film's Immortals fight, things explode for almost no reason, and when one wins even more things explode for even less reason. It remains the coolest thing films have done with swords after lightsabers. And just like lightsabers, more recent films with them suck like a Hydra stealing gas.
The Impossibility
Every single thing about the first movie said it was over. The Immortals were all dead. Connor MacLeod was mortal, psychically omniscient, had the girl, wanted to settle down and even his new powers made him wimpier because he used them to know what his girlfriend was thinking. His ass-kicking days couldn't be more over if he'd lost the final fight and been decapitated, because even then his body would still have balls. They even encoded the warning in the plot, "There can be only one!" As with all ancient warnings, breaking it released horrors.
In The Quickening, all the ass-kicking mythology that wasn't explained in the first movie because who cares was given an explanation that managed to get all the facts from the first movie wrong despite there only being two of them.
One film caption hasn't told so many fans to fuck themselves since DIY Masturbation was closed captioned for the hearing impaired.
Despite the first movie featuring more than two Immortals from over 500 years ago, The Quickening explains that immortals originated when the planet Zeist! exiled two treasonous criminals 500 years ago. The planet Zeist! has an immortality-creating teleporter, but they only use it on criminals who want to kill the government. The planet Zeist!'s government is Michael Ironside, who clearly believes this is a Disney movie. There's less ass-kicking than a minesweeper's reunion. Highlander opens with a wrestling match and moves on to a sword fight which explodes a carpark. The Quickening opened with an important message about the environment and moved on to an old man falling asleep at the opera. Connor only uses his psychic powers on Al Gore, then spends 30 minutes of the movie as an old man waiting to die before being attacked by the retarded cousin of the Matrix Twins.
The face of action!
The face of inbreeding!
How many of the following things aren't murdering people with swords: making jokes at a tailor's shop, ruining a Shakespearean play and sacrificing your life to defeat a ceiling fan. If you could even read that sentence you did better than Sean Connery, though at least that last one included blades. The Quickening is the worst thing to happen to blades since Wesley Snipes' last tax return.
Alien Resurrection
Alien was a breakthrough in sci-fi horror, Aliens kicked every ass that dared sit in a movie theater in front of it and Alien 3 urinated on both while screaming, "HAVE WE MADE THE RAPE AND PREGNANCY THEMES CLEAR ENOUGH, YET?"
Alien 4 said, "No."
The ImpossibilityAlien 3 started by killing half of the remaining characters, and destroyed the franchise so hard the other half committed suicide during the movie. Ripley back-flipped into boiling lead as her chest exploded -- that's the deadest you can get in a movie without threatening Schwarzenegger's daughter.
The makers of the fourth film thought this was too subtle.
You would swear the people who made Resurrection had watched the previous films kill their parents, and were out to destroy the movies and everyone who loved them. They resurrect Ripley as Ripley-8, who we'll call Yelpir because she's such a complete opposite of everything the character stood for that she ends up snuggling with aliens.
"I feel so safe in your claws."
Of course, to get to that point, she must undergo a resurrection more genetically impossible than Tila Tequila's child filing a paternity test -- too many horrible things have gone wrong in there for the result to make any sense. They show you the clone growing from childhood, but it still has memories (impossible), the alien parasite (impossible) and superhuman Alien abilities (ultra-impossible, since the only power acid blood gives to humans is "being a puddle.") Yelpir spends the rest of her screen time believing that "strong female character" means "bitch." It's like two idiots hated Ripley in different ways and took turns writing her lines, and the production was so pointlessly ruined that might actually be what happened.
The movie's big reveal is that aliens can now get pregnant, a plot point so stupid they literally embedded a narrator in the monster to explain it. The new half-human Alien was born fully-formed. That means no egg stage, facehugger, parasitism, chest-burster, double-mouth or horrible penile-facelessness. E.T. was truer to the Alien movies -- at least its xenomorph looked horrifying and the military still wanted to kill it.
Why am I?
The plot ends with Yilrep and Winona Goddamn Ryder (who fits the franchise about as well as a Care Bear) looking sad to be killing an alien. The first three Aliens take more joy in alien murder than video games. Even Jaws 4 seemed to take pleasure in actually killing the damn thing.

Tuesday, April 9, 2013
A Charleston County School bus transporting special needs children was involved in an accident on the I-26 West exit ramp for College Park Road at about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The bus driver was attempting to make a left turn onto College Park Road when a SUV disregarded a traffic light and struck the bus which then struck two other vehicles, according to S.C. Highway Patrol Senior Trooper Bridge Wyant.
There do not appear to be any serious injuries although four of the 12 students were transported to Trident Hospital, according to Wyant.
The students were taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, according to Charleston County School District Public Information Officer Jason Sakaran.
Darlene Pringle, 51, of Ridgeville, was driving a 2005 Nissan SUV when she disregarded a traffic light and struck the bus. Pringle has been charged with disregarding a traffic signal, Wyant said.
The bus driver, Ulysses Carter, 62, of North Charleston and a passenger from a 2013 Dodge Avenger that was struck were transported to the hospital, according to Wyant.
The bus was in the process of taking children to their respective homes when the collision occurred, according to Sakran.
At 3:45 p.m. students were being removed from the bus, according to Gazette and Berkeley Independent Editor Frank Johnson, who is at the site of the accident.

The Stetson men and women's tennis teams are headed to California during spring break where each team will play a pair of matches this week.
"This is the first time since my arrival at Stetson that we are traveling during our spring break," Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said. "This shows our players and recruits that we will travel where necessary to play a good schedule."
The men's team (4-0) is off to its best start since opening 7-0 in 2011. That mark includes a 5-2 win over then ranked #52 St. John's to begin the season. The good start can be directly related to the way the Hatters have played in singles, posting a 21-3 mark through four matches. The Hatter freshmen have posted a 15-0 record thus far.
"The men have played to expectation so far," Pilote said. "They are improving each time they step on the court. Our captain Didrik Berg has done a great job in making sure that our young squad stays focused and only looks forward to the next match."
The Hatters will begin their trip by taking on UC Riverside (2-8) at 3:00 p.m. (12:00 PT) on March 6. They will follow that with a match against Loyola Marymount (0-8) on March 7 at 4:30 p.m. (1:30 PT).
"Riverside has played well of late, winning two of its last four," Pilote said. "I expect a very close match. Loyola Marymout is a team that we have to take very seriously despite their record. They are a strong team that can beat a top 75 team anytime they step on the court."
The women (3-3) will hope to use this trip as a chance to get back to winning ways after dropping their last two matches. Their first match is on March 7, when they take on Cal State Fullerton at 5:00 p.m. (2:00 PT). They play against Cal State Northridge the following day, March 8, at 4:30 p.m. (1:30 PT).
"I am confident that our women's team's best tennis is still ahead of them," Pilote said. "We have great leadership from our seniors, and they really want this year to be memorable."
This will be a historic trip for the team as the Hatters have never traveled to California, nor have they played a team from the state. In 2004, San Francisco was on the schedule, but the match was cancelled.
"Ever since I came to Stanford with Marcus Echtler for the NCAA singles championships, I wanted to come back with the teams. This allows them to have that great experience."
The next home match is scheduled for Monday, March 11, when the men take on Northern Illinois at 2:30 p.m.

Maryland Labor Department Officials Meet with Business Owners, Employees, Contractors and Labor Leaders on Worker Classifications and the Maryland Workplace Fraud Act
Second information session scheduled for tomorrow in Salisbury
WYE MILLS, MD (November 29, 2011) Top-ranking officials from the Maryland Department of Labor (DLLR) continued today an outreach campaign on the states workplace classification policies. DLLR hosted an information session at Chesapeake College on Marylands Eastern Shore to update business owners, employees, contractors and labor leaders on the states workplace classification guidelines and the Maryland Workplace Fraud Act, which was passed by the General Assembly in 2009. A second forum is scheduled for tomorrow morning at Salisbury University.
Maryland Labor Commissioner Ron DeJuliis and Assistant Secretary for Unemployment Insurance Julie Ellen Squire were joined at the forum by DLLR staff members and representatives from the Workers Compensation Commission and the Comptrollers office.
The Maryland Department of Labors most important priorities are protecting working families and the Workplace Fraud Act is a vital tool toward that goal. Even more, this Act helps protect a level playing field for business owners, said Maryland Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez. I applaud Commissioner DeJuliis and Assistant Secretary Squire for their proactive efforts to educate Maryland business owners, employees and contractors about the important protections in the Workplace Fraud Act.
In September, Maryland and 10 other states signed a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service to share information and coordinate law enforcement with the IRS and participating states in order to level the playing field for law-abiding employers and ensure that employees receive the protections to which they are entitled under federal and state law.
We are determined to protect a safety net for all working families and committed to building a level playing field for law-abiding business owners. That commitment drives our efforts to combat workplace fraud, said Assistant Secretary Squire. Our office conducts industry-directed audits to ensure that all employees have access to worker protections, including unemployment insurance benefits.
Under the Workplace Fraud Act, it is a violation of law to fail to properly classify workers as employees, and it imposes penalties on those employers who knowingly misclassify their workers. The law also clarifies the definition of an independent contractor.
We understand that some business owners and some elected officials feel that our department is targeting certain businesses and that we are burdening them with multiple audits and endless investigations. Were sympathetic to that perception, but its not the reality, said Commissioner DeJuliis. The only business models that find the states and the federal governments workplace fraud regulations difficult are business models that are playing by a different set of rules than all other businesses. We set up these sessions on the Eastern Shore to provide information and pledge our support to ensure that all businesses in Maryland are in compliance with state and federal regulations.
DeJuliis and others also touted recent reports showing Marylands strong standing as a great state to do business, including an M&T Bank report listing the state as the 11th best state for business, a national study showing that Maryland has the highest per capita population of millionaires in the country and a study by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities disputing the false charges that Marylands regulations and statutes have resulted in families and companies moving to other states.
The Maryland Workplace Fraud Act provides the state with tools to combat workplace fraud, which involves employers who knowingly misclassify their employees as independent contractors or do not classify them at all. This illegal practice allows employers to cut payroll costs significantly, leaving workers unprotected by critical workplace protection laws and creating a competitive disadvantage for those employers who play by the rules. Workers who are misclassified as independent contractors are denied access to unemployment insurance, workers compensation and other protections. Additionally, taxpayers are deprived of millions of dollars to the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund and the State General Fund.
The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation protects and empowers Marylanders by safeguarding workers, protecting consumers, providing a safety net and cultivating a thriving workforce that can meet the demands of Marylands dynamic economy. Follow DLLR on Twitter (@MD_DLLR) and Facebook.

SL TV: Four Tenths Of A Second - Jacob Brewer
Four tenths of a second. The time it takes a baseball to travel the 60 feet, 6 inches from the pitcher's mound to home plate.
Following his sophomore season, Jacob Brewer was having the summer of his life, pitching for the Lake Erie Monarch's in the Great Lake's summer league.
However, in four tenths of a second, everything changed.
"I ended up throwing the hardest I have ever thrown on that game," Brewer said. "When I got off the mound, I felt great because I topped off and then all of a sudden I noticed that my arm was real, real tight. I was like holy cow, I don't know if I can extend it all the way."
Ball State Sports Link has the exclusive story on Brewer's return following Tommy John surgery. Now, Brewer is back on the mound for the 26th-ranked Cardinals.
Ball State is 38-16 overall and 22-4 in the Mid-American Conference, earning the MAC Regular-Season Championship, the MAC West Division and the No. 1 seed in the MAC Tournament which begins May 21.

All of the sitting hall guidelines are helpful in reminding us to pay attention and to experience what we are doing when in motion, while not formally meditating on the cushion.
When entering the sitting hall, put your hands at nose level, palms together and enter with left foot first. Make a standing bow. When walking in the sitting hall hold your hands
in walking position, left hand in fist around the thumb at stomach level, right hand over the top. To take a seat in the sitting hall, walk to any seat except the teacher's or
timekeeper's. Once at your chosen seat, make a standing bow first to the cushion (actually to the folks on either side of cushion) then turn around to the right, and bow to the
people on the opposite side of the room. To take a seat, sit down on the cushion still facing toward the center of the room then turn toward the right on the cushion until you
are facing the wall unless we are all facing toward the center. In that case just sit down on the cushion and don't turn.
The sitting periods are usually 30 or 35 minutes long. On Wednesday evenings there are two 35-minute periods with 10 minutes of walking meditation in the middle. Participants are
welcome to sit for only one period if they need or want to leave. Try to stay as still as possible during the sitting period. Keep bringing your attention back to the bodily
experiences of sitting, to the breath and to the sounds. People are available to help with your posture or sitting suggestions if you would like. It is ok to move or switch
positions during the sitting time if you are too uncomfortable. Do it quietly and quickly. At the end of the 35-minute sitting there will be two bells. After the second bell bow
and then gradually get up for walking meditation. Make sure your feet are not asleep. If they are asleep please, take your time in standing up. Wait until they are awake to stand
up. No one minds if you take your time, we are used to it and we have a lot of folks whose feet fall asleep. You might hurt yourself if you start to stand up and your foot is
After the second bell, straighten your cushion and stand with your palms together in front of the cushion facing toward the center of the room. When the clappers sound for the
first time bow and turn to the left, still "palms-together," and then when the clappers sound for the second time, put your hands in the walking position at mid abdomen with the
left hand in a fist over the thumb and the right hand over the top. Begin walking right away starting with your left foot taking one step per full breath.
You may take a bathroom break during the slow or fast walking period. Please wait to leave the sitting hall until the second clapper has sounded to begin the slow walking period.
The slow walking practice is for 4-6 minutes. Start walking with your left foot first at the sound of the second clapper. Take one step per full cycle of breath paying attention to
the sensations of your feet as they touch the ground, and also to the sounds you hear. Say to yourself "lifting, lifting, lifting" to help you focus on the sensations of the various
experiences of lifting your foot. Then say "moving, moving, moving" then "placing, placing, placing." Keep these labels in the background of your awareness, the foreground is
focused on the actual experience of the sensations in your foot as it is lifted, moved, and placed.
There will be another clapper to signal the faster walking period, which will last about 3-4 minutes. At the sound of the clapper, bring your feet together and make a bow at the waist,
then immediately begin walking starting with your left foot. Walk at a fast rate, keeping up with the person in front of you and letting the timekeeper set the pace for the entire
group. In the faster walking, try and pay attention to the sensations of your feet on the floor, as well as the sounds. Say to yourself "walking, walking, walking." At the last clappers,
put your palms together and return to your cushion, make a bow toward the cushion and then turn around facing into the center. Stay standing with your palms together until there is a
final bell. At that time take you seat for the next sitting period
At the end of the second sitting period there will be a bell to indicate the reading of the Practice Principles. The practice principles are available on a small card to read if you
don't know them. We recite them three times.
After the Practice Principles stand up (take your time) and wait for the chime to indicate the time to bow. With each chime, do a full bow (head down to the floor with arms on the mat,
palms facing up, then raise just the hands to about ear level). You will do a total of three full bows. After the third bow stand with hands in walking position, at the sound of the
next bell bow to the altar with hands in palms-together position. Return to facing toward the center of the room with your hands in walking position, then when the final bell is struck,
bow with your hands in the walking position. Straighten your mat and then leave. No need to turn at the entrance and bow to the altar when you leave the sitting hall, just walk out.
Our teacher at the ZCP is Larry Christensen. You can request a private interview with him which will take place in the small room directly adjacent to the waiting area, just outside
the meditation hall. To request an interview with Larry, take one of the numbered cards located on the wall immediately to the right as you enter the meditation hall. Interviews are
conducted in order according to the number on the card. Take the card to your cushion. During the second period of meditation (weekday mornings and Wednesday evenings), Larry will leave
his cushion and prepare the interview room. When Larry rings his bell the student with card number "1" proceeds to the room. At the next bell person number "2" proceeds to the interview
room and number 1 returns to her or his cushion in the meditation hall. Please place your numbered card on the second hook (below the original stack) facing outward as you go to interview.
This helps people remember what number we are at in the process. On Saturdays interviews are conducted during the first sitting because Larry gives a talk after walking meditation.
When exiting the sitting hall for an interview, take your cushion with your. Walk down the hall and enter through the first door on your right and closing the door behind you. Approach to
the edge of the sitting mat (the zabuton), place your round cushion (zafu) on the larger mat, and then do a standing bow together with Larry (he will be seated). Sit down, tell Larry your
name and the type of practice you are doing, such as "experiencing my breath and sounds." When the interview is completed, you and Larry will perform a seated bow in unison to each other.
After which, please stand and, while holding your cushion, make a final standing bow to Larry before leaving the room. Leave the door half way open.
Copies of the ZCP sitting schedule are available. Tapes and books may also be checked out. ZCP accepts donations to help support the center and membership is available ($30 a month "suggested"
donation but any amount is ok). There is usually a donation jar on the coffee table located in the waiting area. If you are making a donation toward your membership dues, make sure your name
is attached to your cash donations. Anyone making a regular membership contribution (of any amount) is considered a member of ZCP. You can become a voting member if you make a regular donation
for 6 months or longer and attend regularly. Voting members can become Board members and can also help to elect the Board members. Copies of the By-laws for ZCP and Board minutes (as well as
financial information) are available to members.
