#5. Gladiator Spiders
Right off the bat, it's clear we're in trouble. There are a lot of words you don't want preceding "spider" -- "behemoth," "Hot Pocket," "genital" -- but "gladiator" is still somewhere toward the top. No matter how fervently you hope it to be true, no, "gladiator spider" is not just a sinister name. Yes, unfortunately, it was named for its inventive and unique hunting practices. Specifically, the fact that it is the only spider in the world that both manufactures and uses weapons to kill.
The gladiator spider (also called the ogre-faced spider, because scientists want to make very, very sure you don't ever fuck with it) first constructs a frame using the bare branches of nearby shrubbery. Between them, it weaves a tight, square mesh of silk. Then, when it's all finished, it simply packs it all up and leaves.
"Screw you guys, I'm taking my net and I'm going home."
The gladiator spider then suspends itself from a single strand of silk above the forest floor and, wielding its net between its forelegs, it waits. When some poor unsuspecting insect walks beneath it, the gladiator spider springs into action, hurling the web-net over its hapless victim like a terrifying eight-legged ape ensnaring a tiny little Charlton Heston.
You ever notice how no new development in spideronomy ends with "thus inflicting an instant, painless death?" Yeah, this is no different. The victim is dragged off, alive, to be slowly devoured. Spiders always, always, always take their prey intact, presumably because there's simply no seasoning like mortal fear. At this point, we'd practically welcome the news that spiders have started manufacturing rifles, if only for the quick and painless death that would imply.
#4. The Iberian Newt
We've covered the Wolverine-esque hairy frog and Spanish Ribbed Newt before, but much like nature and the shameless Marvel writers themselves, we aren't afraid to keep splashing around in that same well until all the bodily fluids render the water unfit for human consumption. The Iberian Newt is a little more Marrow than Wolverine: It wields its own bones against potential predators, yes, but it doesn't use anything as hackneyed as "claws." When threatened, the Iberian newt expands its own ribcage so much that the whole structure actually pierces and breaks through its own skin, which it then uses as defensive weaponry against potential predators.
Nature operates on the same logic as a movie prison: You can't just win the fight, esse, you got to show all the other animals that you're loco, too, or they'll make you their bitch. And even though shankin' a punk with your own ribcage is pretty hardcore, the Iberian ribbed newt doesn't even stop there: It also secretes a toxic poison through its skin -- not to try and ward off potential predators before it's chest-smashing time, but so the spiked ribs that it's shoving through its own abdomen will come out coated in its own poisonous flesh.
Jesus, that's not "stabbing a dude on your first day to show 'em you mean business" crazy; that's a "stabbing yourself just to show your enemies how to do it right, for a change" level of madness.
#3. Tentacled Sea Snakes
They say it's better to pull a bandage off quickly, rather than slowly pull out every arm hair individually. So let's just get this over with as quick as possible: There are psychic snakes.
Those are real things that really exist, and you just have to live with it.
They're called tentacled snakes (oh, yay! They have tentacles, too. What, "psychic powers" wasn't a large enough check mark on the Big List of Things Snakes Absolutely Should Not Have?). And while it's true that what the tentacled snakes do is more akin to "master tactician" than it is to pure Dead Zone-style psychic prowess, the results are basically the same: The snake reads its victims' intentions and uses this power to eat them.
Vanderbilt University
Well, duh. It's a snake, after all; it's not going to use its freaky super powers to give you the Keno numbers.
The tentacled snake subsists mostly on fish, which is a tougher life than it sounds because most of their prey has a built-in reaction to danger called a C-start. Basically, fish can sense sound waves in the water, and if they match certain criteria, a controlled muscle spasm kicks in automatically, sending them swimming at top speed away from the potential predator. The tentacled snake has actually evolved to exploit this, however. It will wait until a fish closes within striking distance, but it won't strike. First, it motions with its midsection in a precise way that mimics the prime "danger criteria," causing the fish to C-start (remember, this is an involuntary reaction on the fish's part). When the fish does start, it flips around in the blink of an eye and flees ... right into the snake's waiting jaws.
To recap: The tentacled snake has figured out the evolutionary mechanism by which fish perceive danger, and then constructed an elaborate, biological false alarm to send them scurrying into its own mouth. But if the C-start happens faster than the eye can see, how does the snake actually catch the damn things once they're headed in the right direction? Simple: It doesn't strike at the prey directly, it strikes at where it knows the prey will go after the snake scares it into action.
So yep, all hyperbole aside, that is a snake that has mastered psychic warfare and will surely one day devour all of humanity's thoughts and memories.

A hit record is probably the only thing that makes Salaam Remi pause his day. Remi, most known as one of the top-selling music producers in the world [Fugees, Usher, Fergie, and Amy Winehouse] and Executive Vice-President at Sony Music knows an irrefutable song when he hears it. After discovering Light It Up, Remi made an offer to Collie Buddz to join his label imprint Louder Than Life, a division of Sony Music Entertainment.
"Salaam knows music. It feels good. I want to reach a certain level with my career and go places I haven't gone yet. Being with Sony Music definitely helps with that," Buddz says with some anticipation.
Light It Up, is a new anthem spreading across every college campus and radio stations, but the artist that created the tune has a name that may sound familiar to some music fans. Buddz exploded onto the scene a few years ago when critics and tastemakers alike embraced him - Spin Magazine proclaiming, "Buddz proves the pop rule: Catchiness transcends color." From Vibe Magazine to Entertainment Weekly, Collie Buddz made quite an impression with music critics.
Produced by Neenyo, a protégé of hit maker J.R. Rotem, Light It Up easily goes from the car to nightclubs all over the world. Collie details his process, "As an artist, I want to expand musically. I'll always do Reggae. I did Reggae music because I was good at it and that's what I knew and loved growing up. But at the same time, when I put on my producer hat and I hear a riddim, it might not be in my comfort range, but whatever I hear on the track dictates what I'm going to make. I really only care about making good music. For that to happen, it can't live in a box."
Indeed growing up on the island of Bermuda, Reggae music was a formidable influence on a young Collie Buddz. Born Colin Harper in New Orleans, LA to a mother of Bermudian heritage with roots on the island dating back to the 1700s, his father passed away while Collie Buddz was at the tender age of four. At that time, his mother moved the family back home to Bermuda. It wasn't long before Buddz discovered more than his Bermudian heritage. Introduced to Reggae music by his older brother, Matthew, affectionately just known as "Smokey," by the tenderfoot age of 12, Colin Harper quickly learned his way around a music studio. It soon became apparent to everyone within earshot of the boy that his voice was unique in a way that lingers long after you've heard him. "Back then, I just used to plug headphones into the microphone jack of a tape deck. I'd sing into one of the earpieces and record it on cassette," Buddz recalls.
Eventually, Smokey relocated to Toronto to pursue an audio engineering degree. His baby brother, as always, tagged along. But Buddz had plans of his own. And, by the age of 19, he was attending Full Sail Academy in Orlando, FL pursuing his own audio engineering degree. Only 13 months later, Buddz had that degree. With dreams of becoming a major music producer, Buddz rejoined his brother in Canada.
As a producer, Buddz was the most comfortable in the studio. But he couldn't find any artists that could really pull off the sound he desired so Buddz far too often found himself just running back and forth from the vocal booth to the mixing booth as he layered his own vocals for his production work. After a while, it just became easier for him to just do it all by himself. At this juncture, Colin Harper became Collie Buddz.
With his independent spirit guiding his journey, Buddz has traveled as far possible from his little corner of the earth. He's constantly creating new music and experimenting with it in front of live audiences almost immediately. With support from his team at Mojiza Management and touring and merchandising backing at Ineffable Music, Collie Buddz has toured the world. He's honed his craft while in support of several tours with artists such as Cypress Hill, Rebelution and Matisyahu. He's performed in front of thousands at the largest music festivals such as Lollapalooza, Boomtown, Summer Jam and the California Roots Festival. While touring, Buddz still found time to record new material and release original music independently on his own record label, Harper Digital. He's even managed to launch a new radio station back home in Bermuda (Vibe 103) and become a father.
Armed with a tremendous record, it doesn't appear that Collie Buddz will soon be finding time to rest.
TOUR DATESCollie Buddz Tour Dates
Incorporating influences from Hip-Hop to Soca, Collie's music nevertheless has a rock-solid foundation in Reggae - and its power to connect ghetto reality with the highest heights of human aspiration - that is a rarity even in Jamaica. But, to say he's connected to the Caribbean community would be an understatement. Collie Buddz, born Colin Harper, has become the Caribbean culture's resident ambassador.
Touring extensively, Collie's passport stamps are a relative reflection of the worldwide love for Reggae and Caribbean culture. From Madison Square Garden to Dubai, Collie Buddz is the definition of an international recording artist. It was crazy performing in the Middle East. "Who would have guessed how big reggae music is there? They knew all my songs" a jubilant Buddz explains. He has toured throughout Germany, France, England, Japan, North and South America and the Caribbean.
His unique blend of Hip-Hop, Soca and Dancehall underlined with his ever-present passion for the modern Roots Reggae sound has attracted tastemaker supporters all over the world. Reggae pioneer David Rodigan [London] and New York Reggae stalwarts, Massive B are just some of his most ardent supporters. Now on the verge of Collie's sophomore album release, the anticipation is palpable.
In spite of a heavy touring schedule since 2007, Collie is prepared to release a sophomore album that promises an even greater insight into the multi-talented, singer/producer. "We don't have a title for the new album just yet but whatever we call it, the album will be mad, Collie excitedly explains. With production by Supa Dups, Massive B, and Seani B among other contributors, Collie's fans can anticipate Collie's unique twist on popular music.
After ending his affiliation with Columbia Records/Sony Music Entertainment, Inc in 2008, he found fewer restrictions on the indy scene and has since founded his own independent record label, Harper Digital alongside his brother [Smokey] and DJ [Genie] while working with his longtime management group, Mojiza Management.
Humble as always, Collie simply says, "I'm just excited to be putting out another album. I love to make music and the satisfaction is in having other people from all over the world enjoy it. I live out of a suitcase and I wouldn't have it any other way."

How should Instagram license their photos?
Should Instagram automatically license photos under Creative Commons?
Should Instagram automatically publish photos under Creative Commons?
Instagram has undergone several big changes lately, most noteably taking away the ability to quickly view Instagram photos on Twitter. Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom described this update during the LeWeb Internet conference in Paris as Instagram's evolution, and explained that the company would naturally change as it grew.
In an article from Business Insider on December 6, Alyson Shontell calls for Instagram to make a bolder move: to publish all photos under Creative Commons unless the photographer specifically changes their publishing license.
She argues that Instagram photos are driven by the public anyway, and the service is lacking a legal way to share the photos further. She explains that Yahoo's Flickr already has a successful Creative Commons option, but she believes Instagram photos should automatically be published under Creative Commons, instead of just having that option.
Shontell's main argument is that the Internet and smartphones have enabled everyone to become a photographer, and that most of these people just want to share their photos. She explains that most people already blast their photos to thousands of followers on social media anyway, and licensing them under Creative Commons would protect this, and further sharing, under the law.
What do you think? Would it be a good idea for Instagram to automatically publish photos under Creative Commons, or do you think it would cause push-back and reduce use of Instagram? Let us know your opinions in the comments.

Interesting news today about Facebook updating their terms of service for Instagram that would allow them to sell photo's without permission and/or compensatation--then apologizing for the confusing language. So the converstation has moved past Creative Commons licensing.
Here is another good post about Open source alternatives to Instagram.
Whoever is voting yes for this are just as bad as Facebook for the new terms. The user should set the terms for the image. A better resolution would be for Instagram to give a list (or text box) for the user to enter whatever licence they deem necessary. That way we protect the professionals that look to sell their images the same way we protect the casual users.
"creative commons" does not tell me much. You need to state which license.
In case of cc BY-SA I would agree.
In case of any NC term, that would likely forbid usage by instagram itself, so it would be asymmetric licensing again - and I would disagree.
Giving the users the option to replace Share Alike with No Derivatives (ND) would mean that they would essentially just allow propagating the images unchanged.
"[X] allow others to change your photo?"
In case of cc BY, I would disagree, too: That would mean that anyone could use the image without making the adaptions cc, too.
@TGM: A difference with cc-licenses is that they not only allow instagram to use the image, but also other users. They provide a level playing field (though some professionals who rely on shackling their users with proprietary license terms would not like that playing field).
A service which says "what you do here is public" is very different from a service which says "all your works do belong to us".
And a plain text license field can not be interpreted automatically, so the licensing cannot be used by software to help users take decisions.
cc BY (only attribution necessary) would not suffice for me.
Having a default license is only a good idea if the license in question were widely understood by the licensors (users).
It would probably mean that the process of accepting the terms for an instagram account (and therefor the license) would have to include a guide and explanation on how licensing and CC works (and the implications thereof).
I'd rather have CC-licenses (why say "Creative Commons" when we are actually talking about a suite of different licenses?) as an opt-in, preferably bundled with information on what licensing means and how the different licenses work and apply.
It would also be great if license information was provided both in metadata mark-up and in the metadata of the picture files proper (perhaps as part of exif) and wherever the photos are published also links to resources on how to use licensed photos and how to attribute properly etc.
The point I was trying to make was that the user should control the licensing of their art. Not the company.
definitely, if they deem it to be published for anyone to see and use then the photographer decides.
This would also mean that NO ONE should be able to on sell that photo if the photographer deems this to be so.
Often people will not worry about it however,we need to be respectful.
There are quite a few sites that allow the proper controls and instagram should be no different.
I know ill not use sites that dont be respectful and provide the user with clear and simple options for those controls.
Jumping in here...good discussion so far. A little food for thought...
What about the way that YouTube does their licensing? They default to their standard YouTube license for video uploads, but then offer the option of Creative Commons - Attritbution.
Should Instagram consider that approach?
At least you can always choose not to use the service, and there is a value in giving your users the promise that they always have given rights with images they see in the service.
Essentially the question is if making it easy to share and reuse images is worth more than giving professionals the option to restrict others.
And the easiest way to share and reuse is if you can automatically do that with everything you find on a given service.
I agree with what you said, however what I've seen happen in the past is that a company allows this to happen which results in the competition doing the same thing, leaving users with little choice in the matter. It's like corporates with outsourcing call centres in a way, it's led to a massive drop in customer service, with little alternative with competition.
I wonder if there's a place for just doing it properly, respecting the photographer and take the performance hit with respect to the competition (if that really happens), eventually, would it be possible, that the fads go away, diminish, and that people actually start thinking about what they are doing and then want to be able just stipulate how their photos or any information is used.
Many wont and frankly most of what they put up no one really wants to see anyway, is just ME me me stuff.
These companies may have to accept at some point they are not going to be everything to everyone so just pick a niche and be respectable, might not quite get you the same dollars but you'll probably have respect and a reasonable following. Maybe even for longer.
Am I being to idealistic or something, probably.

The two Amarillo ISD volleyball squads had completely different outcomes in playoff action Friday.
Class 5A Tascosa fell to Southlake Caroll, 25-17, 25-14, 25-12, in a Region I-5A area round playoff match in Vernon. No. 6 Amarillo High ran through El Paso Chapin, 25-21, 25-10, 25-4, in a Region I-4A area match at UTPB.
Amarillo High coach Jan Barker said the Lady Sandies struggled early but were able to pick up the pace.
"First game we were not playing well," Barker said. "Their first 14 points, 11 of them were our unforced errors. We were doing it to ourselves."
The front-row blocks as well as the serving from libero Lexus Cain led the Lady Sandies to a strong final set. Cain served 12 straight points, including four aces, to build a 17-1 lead.
"The girls came out fighting (after the first set)," Barker said. "I think our block intimidated them and made them tip the ball a lot instead of hitting away. We finally got our defense going and that made the difference for us."
Amarillo High (33-9) outscored El Paso Chapin 50-14 in the final two sets.
"In those two games we played the game we should," Barker said. "We still don't have that full match of us playing the way we need to be playing. We are still pushing for that."
The sweep extends District 3-4A's playoff record to 6-0 with an 18-0 set winning streak.
"It is a tough district," Barker said. "We have four ranked teams and rightly so. I expect to have all four teams in the quarter finals playing each other. We certainly have a very competitive district. It's a proven fact."
Amarillo High advances to face the winner of El Paso High and Randall, which play Saturday in the Region I-4A quarterfinals.
Tascosa was led by Marnie McIlraith's seven kills but the Lady Rebels never really had an answer for Southlake Carroll.
"We played a better volleyball team tonight that plays clean volleyball," Tascosa coach Scott Sandel said.
Sandel also said he is proud of his team's perseverance which got them to the playoffs.
"It was a good season that provided adversity and character building," Sandel said. "I was very proud of the girls and the effort they gave this season."
Three Amarillo-area volleyball teams are set to play in the area round Saturday.
Dumas and Randall hope to keep District 3-4A perfect as Dumas takes on El Paso Eastlake at 3 p.m. Saturday at Seminole and Randall faces El Paso High at 3 p.m. Saturday at UTPB in Region I-4A.
Highland Park is set to face Colorado City at 2 p.m. Saturday at Lubbock Monterey in a Region I-2A area playoff match.

Excellent utility coin that allows you to do so may effects. Make US half dollars vanish and reappear in the palm of your hand. Change a half dollar to a quarter, and much more. (Please note that you will be getting the gimmicked coin only- no instructions.)
Difference between a shim shell and an expanded shell: This shim shell is the exact same size as a half dollar, but is only a shell, so you can hide other coins underneath it. The shim is also able to stick to a magnet. The expanded shell is a shell that is slightly larger than a half dollar, and is made to fit OVER the half dollar (thus, for example, making it look like you have two coins in your hand, and when the shell fits over the half dollar, now you only have one).
Though we usually have both "heads" and "tails" IN STOCK, our current inventory may be limited to only "heads" or only "tails". If "heads" are IN STOCK, that is what we prefer to ship unless you specify that you want "tails". If choice is a concern, please contact us to inquire about specific availability. Also, dates are limited to the stock at hand.
History and Trivia: J.N. Hofzinzer invented the Coin Shell in the mid-1800s.
Is it illegal to use real US coins to make magic tricks? According to the U.S. Treasury F.A.Q., the answer is- No. It is only illegal to alter a US coin with the intention of spending it as if it were a coin of a different value.From the official U.S. Treasury website: "Section 331 of Title 18 of the United States code provides criminal penalties for anyone who 'fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the Mints of the United States.' This statute means that you may be violating the law if you change the appearance of the coin and fraudulently represent it [in a monetary transaction in trade for goods or services] to be other than the altered coin that it is. As a matter of policy, the U.S. Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent."

Coin only- no instructions.You must know how to use a shim shell coin.
You can use this coin to change a half dollar into another coin. For example, place the Shim Shell on your hand with a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin hidden underneath. Palm off the shell in your favorite manner (and since the shell is shimmed, a magnet can be used) to make it appear as though the half dollar has changed to a whole dollar.

They were engaged on December 4th on the USS Constellation in Baltimore Harbor. This couple truly enjoyed having all their family and friends in one place at the Black Horse Inn. The bride said she was truly joyful to finally whisper her vows to Andy. Her advice to brides for wedding planning is to "Keep it Simple." She recommends staying focused on what is important to you rather than buying into the hype on all the websites. This couple is planning to honeymoon in Cozumel, Mexico.

To write anything intelligently, we need to know for whom we are writing. The more precisely we can define the audience, the more effectively we can determine the kind of style to use and what information to include. You may find yourself asking,
The answers to these questions depend on the nature of your audience. Begin by asking yourself, "for whom am I writing?"
When you write a paper, you may be confused by the distinction between the real and the imagined audience. That is, in most courses the only real reader of your paper is likely to be your instructor. However, the paper is not a personal letter or memorandum to that instructor, and it must not be written as such. Rather, most papers should written as if they had a wider audience.
Most instructors prefer that you write a paper as if it were to be read by an intelligent member of your class -- that is, someone who has done the assigned reading in the course and who understands what is common knowledge within it. For such a reader, for example, you would not need to write, "Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was Emperor of France from 1804 to 1814," or "Blank verse is poetry written in unrhymed iambic pentameter"; you would only need to indicate that you intend to discuss Napoleon or that the poem in question is written in blank verse.
On the other hand, some instructors prefer that you write as if your paper were to be read by a wider audience - for example, as if it were to be published in a learned journal. For such an audience you might need to make explicit what everyone in your class knows; for example, you might need to say, "In this experiment, a margin of error of plus or minus 1.5 percent (or ±1.5%) was considered acceptable."
Some science instructors may ask that you write for a reader who knows the basic concepts of introductory courses in science but does not know the specific procedures followed in your laboratory- for example, a student at another college or university. Your account of procedures must be sufficiently detailed to allow such a reader to reconstruct your experiment and to achieve similar results.
No paper written as part of an expository college writing assignment should use profanity, slang, contractions, colloquial language, or idiosyncratic language. (Of course, dialogue in fiction can sometimes be an exception to this rule.) However, to some extent, the nature of the audience determines the level of formality in your style. Timeless and foolproof advice: although you must maintain the conventions of formal discourse, you should try to make your style as personal as the impersonality of those conventions will permit and as simple as the complexity of your ideas will allow.

I'm pleased to present to you a great small press founded here in Montreal and led by my friend Jack Allen. Trapshot Archives solicit and distribute short fiction, collections of poetry, and artist books with an interest in contemporary practices.
Here's one of their publications I'm particularly fond of:
"Prolix" is a selection of photos shot by David Zilber, a young artist working and living in Vancouver. Insisting on the idea that 'meaning, or lack thereof, is more important in my artistic process than any subject,' Zilber presents a series that avoids discussion. And yet flipping through the pages it cannot go unsaid that something dark—something of alienation and anonymity—emerges. "Prolix" is a collection of images that neglects the subject: instead of looking at people, looking for people, we are encouraged to focus on what people look at, what people look for. This shift, however slight, in what is presented to us, attempts to void all meaning from each photograph. The subjects, seemingly caught between the viewer and their own desires, take on new roles—each more hollow than the last—acting only as entryways into a world where most important are focal points and dreams, not sincerity or dreamers.

Regardless of your political persuasion, it is difficult to honestly deny that self-centered greed, naive ignorance, and irresponsible apathy played key roles in this election. Since ideologues on any side aren't famous for their long-range vision, here are a few questions to ask:
1. What happens when we run out of other people's money? Our Government now borrows over forty cents of every dollar that it recklessly spends, and our ballooning National Debt is rapidly driving us into bankruptcy. At some point, ALL the handouts, welfare, bailouts, and vote buying will stop. What do you suppose will happen then?
2. What are you going to do when the government tax collectors, creditors, or gangs of "disadvantaged" thugs arrive to re-distribute your car, house, and other hard-earned assets? Is this what it is going to take to yank some people back into the real world?
3. Where will this path lead us? There are several possible options at this point, but we need to act now. Our nation could crumble into enclaves of folks with enough resources to protect themselves from anarchists, or we could try to restore the principles of honor, integrity, and patriotism that made the United States great. The future is up to all of us.
Reversing greed, ignorance and apathy will not be easy. Are there still enough people with the courage and commitment required to defend our freedom, and are you one of them?

Erie: Snowiest city in U.S.
The purring of snowblowers and the scratching of snow shovels and ice scrapers filled the air in Erie on Monday morning, echoing through trees weighed down with snow and bouncing off large snow mounds that pinched borders of city streets and sidewalks.
An unusually healthy dose of winter weather so early in the season has made Erie County the snowiest place in the U.S. as of Monday morning -- and the competition isn't close.
The National Weather Service has measured 41.9 inches of snow through Sunday at the Erie International Airport since the first flakes fell in October. Weather service snow spotter Gerald Owens has measured 51 inches in Corry so far this year.
The next snowiest spot is Rochester, N.Y., which received 28.3 inches of snow through Sunday, according to weather service data.
More than a third of the city's snow was collected on Saturday, when 7.9 inches fell, and Sunday, when an additional 8.4 inches came down. Even more snow fell early Monday, when a lake effect snow warning issued by the National Weather Service was extended from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The heavy accumulations led to the closing of Erie City schools and a few other schools on Monday, and it forced two-hour delays in the opening of classes in the Harbor Creek, Iroquois, North East, Northwestern and Wattsburg school districts.
Erie city plow crews working 12-hour shifts thought they had the weekend snow under control until about 2 a.m. on Monday. Then a band of lake-effect snow set up and dropped an additional 2 to 3 inches of snow on the city, said Chuck Zysk, chief of the city's Bureau of Streets.
The bureau had 19 trucks out on Monday clearing the main routes, inner-city areas and secondary roads before fanning out into other areas of the city. Zysk asked residents to help the plow drivers in their efforts by using off-street parking, if available, and obeying the odd-even parking rules.
The slick, snowy roads were blamed for causing a slew of traffic accidents throughout the region, according to area police and emergency dispatchers. One of the more problematic areas on Monday was Millcreek Township, where officers were sent to investigate a crash involving a school bus and three other accidents where school buses slid off roadways and ended up in ditches.
One crash happened at West 26th Street and Kozlowski Drive on Monday at about 2:45 p.m. Buses went off the road on Monday morning at West 38th Street and Lancaster Road, at Hershey and Volkman roads, and at Kuntz and South Hill roads, Millcreek police Capt. Randy Faipler said.
Millcreek police also dealt with several cars off the road on Arbuckle Road and a few other streets, Faipler said.
Accidents reported in Erie included a two-vehicle crash involving an Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority bus at 13th and State streets, and a snowblower mishap involving a woman whose hand got stuck in one in the 300 block of East 26th Street shortly after 8 a.m. Monday.
The 26.3 inches of snow that has fallen in Erie so far this December is nearly 15 inches above normal. The seasonal snowfall total is 21.8 inches above normal and 38.8 inches more than what Erie had at this point in the winter of 2012-13.
The snow and cold temperatures are allowing Mount Pleasant of Edinboro to open all of its hills today at 3:30 p.m. The Washington Township facility's tubing park opened Friday.
Peek'n Peak Resort and Spa in Findley Lake, N.Y., opened the day after Thanksgiving, while the Wilderness Lodge cross-country facility in Venango Township opened Sunday.
Mount Pleasant welcomed its first skiers after Christmas during the 2012-13 winter season.
"It's going to be great to get all of the employees in place and get all the bugs worked out before we get hit for the holiday season," Doug Sinsabaugh, the facility's outside operations manager, said Monday afternoon.
Snow continued to fall Monday. As of 5 p.m., the National Weather Service reported an additional 0.6 inch at Erie International Airport.
Up to 4 inches of new snow is possible today, and a 60 percent chance of snow showers is forecast for Wednesday, according to the weather service. A warm-up is expected beginning Thursday, with rain showers predicted on Thursday night and Friday.

Mason Shaker
- 32 oz. Mason Jar
- Patent Pending design
- High quality stainless steel 3-piece top
Inspired by the classic southern icon, the Mason jar, the Mason Shaker is a unique four-piece cocktail shaker that harkens to American eras past.
The Mason Shaker is a unique Mason Jar cocktail shaker created by W&P Design, a design and manufacturing firm founded by two best friends raised in the south. The concept for the Mason Shaker was developed from an obsession with vintage kitchenware (Josh) and an uncanny ability to fashion impromptu drinking tools at a moment's notice (Eric). After one too many mint juleps poured from a poorly-modified Mason Jar one summer, the idea for a better (and cooler) cocktail shaker hit us like a double shot of bourbon. The Mason Shaker was born.

"Get Some" program promotes education
The theme of this month's "Get Some" segment is "We Are … 50 Shades of Educated." This episode will provide a fresh take and analysis of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy and explain why these erotic best-selling novels are not an accurate portrayal of BDSM; and the kink community's feelings about the books. The show will be taped live at Penn State Berks on Monday, Nov. 26, 2012, at 8 pm. in Ivy Lounge in the Woods Residence Hall Complex.
"Get Some" is a show about health with a human sexuality emphasis. Alice Holland, Penn State Berks Nurse Practitioner Supervisor serves as host. The show includes an interactive audience that features both college students and professionals as guests. Two residence hall assistants helped to facilitate this episode in the residence halls: seniors Jade Eggleston, Applied Psychology major, and Katherine De Crescenzo, Global Studies major.
"The culmination of my past employment experiences at Blue Mountain Health System Family Planning Clinic, Lehighton Area School District, and Lehigh Valley Hospital, along with my present employment at Penn State, has prepared me with the assessment, interpersonal, and communication skills needed to host the show," explained Holland about her credentials.
In addition to her position as Health Services Supervisor at Penn State Berks, Holland also teaches courses in human sexuality, two of which have culminated with an experiential approach in Kenya. She is certified by the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) as a sexuality educator and she holds a master's degrees in both Nursing and Human Sexuality, and is presently a Human Sexuality Doctoral student, as well as a member of the American College Health Association (ACHA) and American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP).
"Get Some" is filmed the last Monday of each month. Recent episodes can be viewed at www.youtube.com/psugetsome. For more information, contact Alice Holland at email@example.com.

You don't need to look at the calendar to know summer has arrived. The thermometer has been pushing 90 degrees for the past several days, a little early based on average weather.
The sudden heat wave is a good time, even though early, to issue a reminder that excessive heat is a real danger to many people.
More people in this country die from extreme heat than from hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes combined, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The National Weather Service hasn't issued a heat advisory for the recent hot weather, but there will be times later this summer when the weather service will warn residents to take extra precautions because of the high heat and humidity.
Health professionals who all too often see people suffering from heat exhaustion and heat stroke are recommending taking special precautions with the hot temperatures.
Know the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Heat stroke occurs when the body is unable to regulate its temperature, according to the CDC. Symptoms include an extremely high body temperature; red, hot, and dry skin with no sweating; rapid, strong pulse; throbbing headache; dizziness; nausea; and confusion and unconsciousness.
Get immediate medical attention if you know someone with these symptoms.
Heat exhaustion is a milder form of heat-related illness that can develop after several days of exposure to high temperatures and inadequate or unbalanced replacement of fluids, the CDC reported. It is the body's response to an excessive loss of the water and salt contained in sweat. Those most prone to heat exhaustion are elderly people, people with high blood pressure and people working or exercising in a hot environment.
The CDC reported the symptoms include heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea or vomiting and fainting.
The symptoms will go away with moving the person to a cool environment, providing cool, nonalcoholic drinks and bathing in cool water.
Keep an eye on fellow workers if working outdoors. Check on elderly or sick neighbors to make sure they are dealing with the hot temperatures.
Also, keep an eye on outdoor pets. Make sure they have shade and plenty of fresh water.
Find a cool place during the hottest time of the day.
Welcome to summer.

The humidity level is very important for White's Tree Frogs, and they can dry out easily, so you must also place a shallow dish of water in the enclosure so your frog can sit in it. Avoid deep water; White's Tree Frogs cannot swim very well. Change the water daily.
Place large, sturdy driftwood branches and hollow logs in the terrarium for climbing and hiding. A variety of artificial plants, especially those with large leaves, will also help to provide hiding places and give the terrarium a more natural feel. Many frogs will also prefer to sleep under a ledge of some sort during the day.
Young frogs should be fed daily, and older frogs should be fed every two to three days to prevent obesity.

To achieve greater security, efficiency, and environmental stewardship, the Navy must adopt new technologies, new graduate education, and new corporate practices. These elements require "new thinking" that will take time. To accelerate the adoption of DoN energy goals much sooner and more effectively than traditional change efforts would enable, the Secretary of the Navy needs to raise the level of energy literacy and arm key influencers to catalyze new policies, programs and practices across the DoN. The Cebrowski Institute will help the Secretariat accelerate culture change by quickly shifting corporate energy understanding, insight, and practices of Navy executives .
Security, efficiency and environmental stewardship form the cornerstones of Navy's energy strategy. In October of 2009, the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) challenged Navy with five stretch goals:
The Department of the Navy (DON) will need to innovate new technologies, educate its workforce, and change its corporate practices in order to accelerate compelling, relevant, & sustainable solutions. The SECNAV Energy Series will develop executives in strategic and innovative corporate practices that will enable Navy's energy strategy of greater security, efficiency and environmental stewardship. For systemic culture change, consider the potential impact of affecting the following four aspects of the DON:
The private sector and the Office of Naval Research will create the new technologies and the Naval Postgraduate School will deliver the graduate education for the armed services. Mr. Tom Hicks, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, has requested the Cebrowski Institute to investigate the design, development, and delivery of an executive education program that focuses on changing the corporate practices of the Navy.

Swiss President acknowledges importance of volunteers
05 December 2006
Berne, Switzerland: Swiss President Moritz Leuenberger has praised Switzerland's volunteer workers for their essential contribution to society.
In a speech to mark the United Nations International Volunteer Day, Leuenberger said that unpaid work was a "privilege" and that individuals could make a difference.
His comments came as events were held in Switzerland to mark the day.
Leuenberger said that unpaid work may only seem to make a small contribution those who ran soup kitchens could not solve the problems on the streets or people who gave language classes to asylum seekers could not do anything about why people fled their home countries.
But their work was important in that the more such projects were carried out the more they would become the norm. This was good for society, he said.
His remarks come a day after a survey commissioned by the Swiss Non:Profit Association revealed that two-thirds of the population had carried out some form of voluntary work in their lifetimes, which added up to 750 hours of unpaid labour.
The study carried out to coincide with the international day ? is aimed at helping raise awareness of unpaid work, said the association.
It is intended to complement the figures already gathered by the Federal Statistics Office, which estimated that one in four Swiss worked as volunteers. The new survey is more precise, said the association, which is why the office's statistics were lower.
In particular the report distinguished between formal volunteer work, such as for organisations or associations, and informal work such as looking after relatives or non:relatives outside the home. The latter was found to be the most popular.
The survey is expected to be the first of many on the subject to be carried out over the next few decades.
For its part, the volunteer forum portal : whose members include local authorities, social organisations and churches : said that volunteers made many cultural and social events possible in Switzerland.
It has organised a series of events across the country on Tuesday to highlight the importance of unpaid work.
The forum has also called for more recognition and support for volunteers from the government and local authorities, including the setting:up of a special centre for voluntary work.

The choice may seem a bit troubling, but it's hard to imagine that it would be easy to recruit top grade executive talent when RIM is clinging to a much-delayed BB10 as its last hope to keep from sinking like the Titanic.
Mr. Boulben was originally erroneously referred to as RIM's new CFO. He is actually the new CMO. RIM defends his track record at LightSquared pointing out that he won 40 contracts in under a year, before LightSquared ran afoul of the FCC and USAF.

|Tuning of the Metal–Insulator Transition via Alkali Adsorption
Turning a material from an insulator to a metal, or vice versa, by light irradiation, exposure to electric or magnetic fields, or applying small changes in temperature, pressure, or doping—such intriguing control of a material's electronic properties is possible by exploiting strongly interacting or "correlated" electrons. Now a team of researchers from the University of Kiel in Germany and the ALS has found a novel, surprising way to continuously transform a layered metallic transition-metal compound, TaS2, into an insulator. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), they have demonstrated that adsorption of alkali atoms onto this material's surface gradually makes it more insulating, although in general, alkali adsorption should lead to more metallic behavior, as alkali atoms easily give away their loosely bound outermost electron.
How can a correlated material undergo a metal-to-insulator transition? Suppose we have a crystal with a simple band structure consisting of a single half-filled valence band, and we start to increase the lattice spacing between the atoms. Band theory then predicts metallic conduction, no matter how narrow the valence band becomes (as measured by the band width W).
What happens instead, at some critical band width, is that the itinerant (delocalized) valence electrons become mostly localized at individual atomic sites, such that they only hop from site to site with a small, but nonnegligible probability. This breakdown of metallic conduction is reflected in the formation of the so-called Hubbard subbands, which are separated by U, the energy cost an electron has to pay when it hops on an already occupied atom. Quite generally, these Hubbard subbands form gradually as the ratio U/W is increased.
To reveal such drastic changes in the electronic structure of a material, ARPES is the ideal tool, since it directly probes the valence-electron distribution in momentum space. The Kiel–Berkeley collaboration performed their ARPES measurements at the Electronic Structure Factory on ALS Beamline 7.0.1. Clean surfaces of layered TaS2 were prepared by cleavage in ultrahigh vacuum, and an alkali, rubidium in this case, was evaporated live during the photoemission measurements.
A "photoemission movie" recorded during the deposition process shows the intriguing evolution of the valence spectra as a function of deposition time. At the beginning of the movie, the high spectral intensity near the highest occupied electron energy, the Fermi energy EF, identifies TaS2 as a metal. Then rubidium deposition is started and spectral weight is continuously removed away from EF, gradually transforming the material into an insulator. The similarity of these results with the simple sketch of Hubbard subbands strongly supports the interpretation as a correlation-driven metal-to-insulator transition (note that ARPES can only probe the lower Hubbard subband). But what is the reason for this transition, as alkali adsorption onto metallic systems usually causes an increased band filling and thus more metallic behavior?
The possible solution lies in the characteristic layer structure of TaS2. Remarkably, alkali deposition on such a material can result in the intercalation of some alkali atoms in the gaps between the layers, which increases the layer separation and thereby reduces the electronic band width perpendicular to the layers. Thus, the ratio U/W can be driven through the critical value for the metal-to-insulator transition.
Besides electronic correlations, there are more facets of this particular metal-to-insulator transition, namely, disorder introduced by the rubidium atoms, charge transfer from rubidium to TaS2, and electron–lattice coupling, as TaS2 also undergoes a charge-density-wave reconfiguration. But electron–electron interaction appears as the dominant cause in this case, making the rubidium/TaS2 system an ideal test object to study in detail the continuous evolution of the valence electron structure of a correlated material across the passage from the metallic to the insulating regime.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Stetson women's soccer team (3-11-1, 1-5-1) dropped a 2-0 match to Florida Gulf Coast (10-3-3, 5-1-1) on Saturday night in Fort Myers.
The Hatters outshot the Eagles by a mark of 4-2 and recorded both of their corner kicks in the second half, but it was enough to overcome FGCU's 2-0 lead after 23 minutes of play.
Shea Rhoney scored both goals for Florida Gulf Coast on the night, striking first in the 15th minute. With assists from Ashley Ciesielczyk and Shannen Wacker, Rhoney tallied her fifth score of the season to give the Eagles the early lead.
"They got us on a good restart," Head Coach Julie Orlowski said of FGCU's first score. "They do a very good job of taking their goal kicks quickly and knocking it wide to their back. That led directly to their first goal."
After a foul in the box awarded FGCU a penalty kick, it was Rhoney who stepped up to the line to take the shot. The Eagle beat junior goalkeeper Victoria Troccoli to the top right corner and gave her team a 2-0 lead it didn't relinquish for the final 65 minutes of play.
Stetson was outshot 12-7 in the game, and recorded only two corner kicks to FGCU's eight. Troccoli finished with four saves in the loss, while the Eagles' Brittany Brown totaled two in the victory.
"It hurts that we didn't take advantage of the opportunities we had tonight," Orlowski said. "But what we're really hurting from right now are the opportunities from past games that we didn't put in the back of the net. It's unfortunate."
The Hatters will next host Mercer and Kennesaw State on the final weekend of regular season play. The Bears come to DeLand for a 7:00 p.m. tilt on Friday, October 19, while the Owls will challenge Stetson on Sunday, October 21 at 1:00 p.m.

It's taken me longer than I expected to write up my review for Star Trek and I blame these damn spring allergies. It reminds me of that episode of Original Trek where the crew gets a dose of Alien pollen causing everyone on-board, except Kirk, to be lazy asses. I have seen the new film twice now and I am determined to fight through this and get my damn review. Before seeing Star Trek I was nervous about what J.J. Abrams and company were going to do with my beloved Trek. I can call it my Star Trek because, like the Yankees, it has been passed down Father to son. My Dad did it right too he started me off with The Wrath of Khan. As soon as I saw Kirk (William Shatner) walking out of the light and into the simulator room I was hooked forever. I truly loved these characters but as I grew I realized that not everyone saw the crew the same way I did. This became abundantly clear when I showed my wife The Wrath of Khan. Let's just say the reaction was far different than mine. How could she hate this I thought to myself--doesn't she get the sheer awesomeness of Captain Kirk and company. Sure they can be a little melodramatic and talky. So what, it doesn't mean it's any less great. She tried to be nice but I knew I couldn't get her into it. It was frustrating but now I can say all of that is now in the past/ As I write this I can happily say that J.J. Abrams has done what no other Trek writer/Director could do, he has convinced my wife that Star Trek, put simply, is--Awesome.A vengeful Romulan miner named Nero (Eric Bana) finds himself time traveling back to the early part of the 23rd century and proceeds to blow shit up thus creating an alternate Trek universe. We are shown the backstory for both Kirk and Spock and how they have been affected by Nero's actions. Kirk, (Chris Pine) tries to rebound from his fractured childhood by joining Starfleet. Spock (Zachary Quinto) finds his loyalties are torn between his Father's (Ben Cross) homeworld on Vulcan and his Mother's (Winona Ryder) on Earth.I truly enjoyed the fast pace and snappy dialogue. If you are a fan of the original show the characters are true to their original incarnations and I can even say that some of the smaller character roles have actually been improved upon. Like Sulu (John Cho), Chekov (Anton Yelchin) and Uhura (Zoe Saldana) all got a bit more to do in the new film. Chekov, especially, got some fun comedic moments reminicent of the old show. Kirk, Spock, McCoy (Karl Urban), Scotty (Simon Pegg) were always well defined in the original show, as they are here. Plus it was great fun watching Karl Urban's crotchety McCoy. It was a nice tribute to Deforest Kelly, who originated the role. Chris Pine has breathed new life into Captain Kirk in ways I wasn't expecting. He has the arrogance with an added chip on his shoulder. Not to mention his constant randiness. This guy is always looking to get laid. Pine really pushes the accelerator on Kirk's personality. He's got the smarts and the instincts to get the job done. Especially in the training seminar scene. I won't go into too much detail but it was a blast watching the legend unfold. Pine is unflappable, funny and nails the scene. As much as I love William Shatner, I really felt this kid filled his shoes perfectly without skipping a beat. The pacing is fast but you do get some great moments in the begining with the origin stories and between the crew members especially between Uhura and Spock. I also really loved Captain Pike (Bruce Greenwood), who provides leadership and guidance to his young crew. Also I really appreciated the scenes with, as they call him, Spock Prime (Leonard Nimoy). There have been many objections to Nimoy's appearance in the film but I felt that when the movie changed something from the original continuity Spock Prime was there to set the record straight. In a sense he was there for the die-hard Trek fans. He was the comforting hand that asks us to be patient and to try to go along with it. For the most part I think the strategy worked.I truly did love this movie, front to back, but there were a few things that just didn't work. For starters what was the point of the creatures on the ice planet. Kirk is stranded on an ice planet and is pursued by a big nasty monster creature that eventually get's eaten by an even larger creature. That felt a bit too much like Empire Strikes Back or the Phantom Menace. I get that they want non-stop action but this sequence was really unecessary. Also Kirk got promoted through the ranks pretty quickly. Now this didn't bother me that much--I get it. But it was a bit of a stretch for him to go to cadet to first officer without ever serving on a ship before. I also didn't think the last sequence where Spock Prime reveals himself to Young Spock was that necessary? I was always told it was a bad thing to encounter yourself while time travelling, something about the space time continuem being distrupted thereby destroying life as we know it. Words of wisdom I think.This was a great ride and it truly pumped new life into this series. It was a great homage to the show and it really paid tribute to the best film in the series, The Wrath of Khan. I really can't wait to see what they'll do with the sequel. So if you are looking for a great slam-bam action flick with awesome characters and some great Space battles, then go and check this one out. I promise you won't be disappointed.

i liked it but i kind of feel conflicted with how it was carried out. it does open the series up for new directions because now they aren't bound by canon in an alternate universe, but i feel like they should've tried to find a way to fix the timelines. i mean look at first contact and the voyage home, those had time travel but they fixed the time line. i can't wait to see what happens next in the sequel. "When the heavens do not bring forth justice, man must bring it upon himself to do so. That is the meaning of Jinchuu." -Enishi Yukishiro.
i thout that it's was very very much well done i like the story and plus i like that they put a new face on the org people and the old ncc1701 i thout that it was very very cool and seeing as it as been year's sec the last one came out it did well for a new look for star trek .
Thanks for the reviews of the movie.I haven't seen this movie yet.

The New York City-based owners of the HSBC tower have developed a preliminary plan, modeled after the John Hancock Center in Chicago, to redevelop Buffalo's tallest building with a mix of luxury residences, offices and a hotel.
The plan, still in the early stages, would convert the 38-story tower into a mixed-use project, similar to what Uniland Development Co. did when it rebuilt the former Dulski Federal Office Building into the Avant.
The plan is a starting point for a panel of experts from the national Urban Land Institute who will advise on uses for the building, said Stephen Fitzmaurice, chief operating officer of Seneca One Realty, the building's owner.
The land institute will send a team of real estate, finance, architectural and development experts to Buffalo Feb. 25-28 to meet a host of local leaders and explore options to redevelop the 850,000-square-foot building.
The tentative plan envisions luxury condominiums on the upper floors, offices in the middle and a hotel on the lower floors.
There would also be opportunity for more retail space and pedestrian access on the bottom plaza levels, since the departure of HSBC Bank USA could mean less need for extensive security, said David Stebbins, vice president of the Buffalo Urban Development Corp. and a local land institute member working with Fitzmaurice. A small grocery store is also possible, if there are enough local residents to support it.
Seneca One also wants to revisit the possibility of having a restaurant or banquet facility on the top floor, similar to what the building had years ago in space leased by Marine Midland Bank, HSBC's predecessor.
Marine used the space to entertain clients and for internal functions but rented it out for weddings or other receptions on weekends, Fitzmaurice said. It was closed after Seneca One bought back the space for a tenant that needed a full floor.
A public restaurant might not be feasible, because it might not get enough daily use to support staffing and overhead, Fitzmaurice said. But a banquet facility could work because it would only need to be staffed when a function is booked. That's similar to what is being proposed for One World Trade Center in New York City.
"You wouldn't have to worry about getting enough functions," he said, adding that Seneca One wanted the land institute to weigh in on the idea. "It's a possibility. We think it would work here, but we want ULI to look at that."
Finally, the restaurant or banquet facility would be combined with an observation deck directly below it, to insulate the luxury residences from the noise of any parties or events.
Fitzmaurice said the owners have also considered putting a private club up there that would collect dues to supplement food and beverage sales to make it sustainable.
"We're extremely optimistic about the future," Fitzmaurice said. "We want to do something that will be complementary to Canalside and hopefully something we haven't seen before."
He said the template for the overall plan is the John Hancock Center in Chicago, a 100-story, 1,127-foot-tall skyscraper that was built in 1970. It includes 700 luxury condos, 897,000 square feet of Class A office space and 172,000 square feet of retail space for Best Buy, Cheesecake Factory and others.
The project also has a restaurant and observatory on top, with plans for a skating rink.
Fitzmaurice noted that the Hancock Center and One World Trade Center in New York, also called the Freedom Tower, were designed by New York-based Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP – which also designed the HSBC tower. "They did a great job designing the building to begin with, which gives us great flexibility with different uses," he said.
Seneca One is rethinking the tower because its three biggest tenants will have vacated by the end of next year, leaving it 90 percent empty.
HSBC, which has occupied most of the tower since it opened in 1972, will move its operations to the HSBC Atrium that it owns a block away and its former mortgage processing facility in Depew, which it leases.
Law firm Phillips Lytle LLP is relocating to the former Donovan State Office Building down the street, which is being converted into One Canalside. And the Canadian Consulate closed.
The city and Seneca One teamed up to bring the Urban Land Institute to town. A final report will take up to three months, Stebbins said.
"We're looking for their guidance, but at the same time, it's a pretty tall order for them to come in here and in the space of four days understand the area, understand our building and come back with recommendations," Fitzmaurice said. "So we've put together what we think will work for the future and give them a starting point. We're trying to do our best, and we'll see what happens."

That was just darling! I had to watch it twice! Thank you. I'm going to have to show my mom...ReplyDelete
What a guy! :) He's going to be knee deep in those pink princess aisles at Target before we know it...ReplyDelete
That is hysterical.ReplyDelete
THAT is precious!ReplyDelete
Holy cow did I giggle loudly watching that. Freakin' AWESOME! Go dad! :)ReplyDelete
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing :)ReplyDelete
My hubby would probaby have done that, but my girls would die of embarassment, so they'd beg him not to help, lol.ReplyDelete
Besides, I was the cheerleader.
I love a devoted dad, it is just so heart warming.
