Picture it: Student Media Center, Bishop Hall, Ole Miss. 2005-2006. It buzzed with aspiring journalists: The staffs of The Daily Mississippian, Newswatch, Rebel Radio 92.1, The DM Online, The Ole Miss yearbook were all together in one little hive.
Normally I wouldn't advise putting print and broadcast reporters that close together, but it wasn't up to us.
We were all a part of the same newsroom, trying out this thing called convergence. We were supposed to work together, to prepare for jobs where we may be called to write a print story, film some B-roll or combine both for an online feature.
A newsroom full of so many young reporters, juggling a full-time SMC job with a full-time class schedule, was an interesting place to be more often than not.
We became a family, and we acted like a family: There were screaming matches and angry sighs, countless inside jokes and laughing fits, life-changing secrets and confessions exchanged, and a lot of growing up going on.
It's seven years later and that group of us who worked, laughed, screamed at and lived with each other are scattered all over the world.
Many of us traveled nearby those old stomping grounds this weekend as we said goodbye to one of our own.
My friend and co-worker Jermaine Jackson died Jan. 18. He was 27.
Jermaine graduated from Ole Miss in 2008 with degrees in political science and journalism and then again in 2010 with a masters in higher education/student personnel.
When I worked with him in the SMC, he had a hand in just about everything, from the newspaper to the TV station to the yearbook.
He was a part of the Associated Student Body, the mock trial team, honor societies and also worked as a financial aid adviser and an IT associate.
I have a feeling I'm not even beginning to scratch the surface of everything he did, really.
Jermaine taught me what it meant to have a work ethic: He was at the SMC all the time, constantly working. He held himself and his co-workers to the highest standards and he was quick to let you know if you'd fallen short.
But it was that get-it-right-or-go-home attitude that made Jermaine such a success.
The rest of us, no matter where we are now and what we're doing, are better for it and for knowing him.
I'm still learning from Jermaine, even in his passing. He's taught me that family is always family, no matter how far away we travel or how much we've changed.
His death brought us back together, even if it was just online where we shared our memories of Jermaine and our times together at the SMC.
We'll always be a family; there's just a hole in our fabric now.
Rest in peace, Jermaine.

7.7: Soil Horizons and Profiles
What conditions would create so much clay?
Soils are so different. In the desert there's a very thin layer and then bedrock. The quarry in the photo is of clay. A thick, thick layer of clay is found in this area. The area must be quite moist for so much rock material to have weathered to clays.
Soil Horizons and Profiles
A residual soil forms over many years, as mechanical and chemical weathering slowly change solid rock into soil. The development of a residual soil may go something like this.
- The bedrock fractures because of weathering from ice wedging or another physical process.
- Water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide seep into the cracks to cause chemical weathering.
- Plants, such as lichens or grasses, become established and produce biological weathering.
- Weathered material collects until there is soil.
- The soil develops soil horizons, as each layer becomes progressively altered. The greatest degree of weathering is in the top layer. Each successive, lower layer is altered just a little bit less. This is because the first place where water and air come in contact with the soil is at the top.
A cut in the side of a hillside shows each of the different layers of soil. All together, these are called a soil profile (Figure below).
Soil is an important resource. Each soil horizon is distinctly visible in this photograph.
The simplest soils have three horizons.
Called the A-horizon, the topsoil is usually the darkest layer of the soil because it has the highest proportion of organic material. The topsoil is the region of most intense biological activity: insects, worms, and other animals burrow through it and plants stretch their roots down into it. Plant roots help to hold this layer of soil in place.
In the topsoil, minerals may dissolve in the fresh water that moves through it to be carried to lower layers of the soil. Very small particles, such as clay, may also get carried to lower layers as water seeps down into the ground.
The B-horizon or subsoil is where soluble minerals and clays accumulate. This layer is lighter brown and holds more water than the topsoil because of the presence of iron and clay minerals. There is less organic material. Figure below.
A soil profile is the complete set of soil layers. Each layer is called a horizon.
C horizon
The C-horizon is a layer of partially altered bedrock. There is some evidence of weathering in this layer, but pieces of the original rock are seen and can be identified.
Not all climate regions develop soils, and not all regions develop the same horizons. Some areas develop as many as five or six distinct layers, while others develop only very thin soils or perhaps no soils at all.
- An animation of soil profile development can be viewed here: http://courses.soil.ncsu.edu/resources/soil_classification_genesis/soil_formation/soil_transform.swf.
- Soil horizons are layers within a soil showing different amounts of alteration.
- Soil profiles show the layers of soil, which include topsoil, subsoil and the C horizon.
- Topsoil has the highest proportion of organic material and is very important for agriculture.
Use this resource to answer the questions that follow.
1. What is a horizon?
2. How many horizons does typical soil contain?
3. What does the O-horizon contain?
4. What is duff?
5. What is the A-horizon? What does it contain?
6. What are the characteristics of the B-horizon?
7. What is the C-horizon? How does it differ from the other horizons?
1. Describe topsoil. Why is loss of topsoil a very large problem when it happens?
2. Describe the weathering processes that go into producing soil.
3. What is the C horizon?

"A good dog is a good dog. He doesn't know what breed or color he is, and he doesn't know what it says on his papers. He's just a good dog. I prefer good dogs." ~ D.L. Walters

Teaching a chessie tolerance is important. I agree with Tim C. that they prefer to stay above the fray. But if some dog, my own lab especially, starts acting like a fool, the Chessie is going to straighten it out on his own terms. Once I figured this out and corrected the lab for being a pita, no more trouble. And Scout is just fine with the free roaming mutts around here. He gives them that look, then goes about his business. So far none of them have questioned it. He loves pups, and is very patient with my two year old.

Some things folks have not mentioned are the late season and extremely cold hunting invites. Also not really supposed to wash them much and they stay pretty clean in general. I think a lot of ft and ht people shy away from them is because of the different training and typically requiring more time to get there. Most people do not realize how soft chessies really are! The aggressiveness shows up every now and then but lately I have seen a heck of a lot of really sweet and loving ones. If it shows up, you need to recognize and deal with it properly just like any other breed. When people in general ask me to explain the difference between a chessie and a lab I typically tell them the chessies seem to be one step closer to wild animal then the lab which usually avoids a big debate.
I have also heard the roomer about the CBR having aggression issue's, but believe the breed has probably greatly improved on that since the earned that label.
I have not seen him agressive towards any dog yet unless provoked first. He is not aggressive at all towards people either. You could take a raw steak from him and he would'nt even growl at you. You may not believe this but in deer season he stole a raw deer heart from the skinning table and I was about 30 yards away at the time. I called him to me and told him drop and he dropped the heart in my hand. If you'd have tried that with my lab he would have taken your hand off! I guess it's all in the breeding. I would suggest anyone considering a Chessie to research the begeebers out of the breeder and the line.

In Eltham A. E. Newbury used soft brushstrokes and carefully blended colour to suggest the stillness and light of a misty Melbourne day. He approached the composition with an economy of colour and form, and sought a similar balance and symmetry to that of Japanese prints. By truncating the gum trees he created an illusion of depth in the overall image. Newbury emphasises contrasts in texture, such as the rough bark base and smooth stretch of the larger gum. This attention highlights the tree against the more muted, almost abstracted planes of colour that form the background.
Newbury sought to portray the simple, strong beauty of the Australian bush. He concentrated his efforts on depicting his local surrounds, and spent much of his life painting around Eltham, the Melbourne suburb where he lived. He also occasionally painted at the South Yarra home of Frederick McCubbin. Between 1916 and 1920 Newbury painted a number of works in the tonal manner championed by Max Meldrum. He initially studied at Melbourne's National Gallery School under Frederick McCubbin and Bernard Hall before attending classes with Meldrum from 1916. Newbury went on to develop works that were primarily concerned with the effect of light on the landscape.1

And when you leave the tarmac behind, you'll be equally impressed. Effortless on the road, a pleasure on forest tracks – our multi-terrain machine has it all. So you're free to decide where you go.
The CRATER LAKE was built for a variety of uses. It can be used both on tarmac roads and on gravel tracks.
With the CRATER LAKE, you can choose between two different frame designs – a low-step-through or a diamond frame.
With the suspension fork and lugged tyres on the CRATER LAKE, you're perfectly prepared for rides on gravel tracks.
Three chainrings translate into an outstanding gear ratio range, so no mountain is too steep.
The DONNA line focuses on the female rider. We've considered the essential differences that exist. Those points of contact with the bike are decisive. That's why we fitted female-specific bars and saddles, so that you'll feel great on the bike, whatever you ride. Your preferences. Your colourways. Your bike. This is where you come first.

The Clash
Joe Strummer
Paul Simonon
Mick Jones
Topper Headon
London Calling
'We seem to attract quite a bit of it,' Mick Jones said about the interest of the local Bobbies in Dundee, in this short film of The Clash on the road across Scotland, from February 1980.
Joe Strummer joked The Clash were giving the Tayside police a change from the usual drunks, giving them the opportunity to have some fun with some lads from down south. 'And we could do well without it,' Jones added.
An hour before their concert in Edinburgh, Strummer preps his voice with some honey and lemon. Outside young fans, some without tickets, have been waiting since 2 in the afternoon just to get a glimpse of their idols. Later, the band will let in a few of these youngsters into the concert for free.
This is The Clash when they were still living a precarious existence, hand-to-mouth, constantly on the move.
With thanks to Nellym.

As per my Comic-Con interview with Derryl, these Vintage Collection cards are designed to be able to be collected unpunched if you're really, really lucky to get them before they're put out on pegs. The design includes 3 little tabs inside the punch to keep it in place without tearing the rest of the card face off when punched out.
That said, having seen these first hand, they are EXTREMELY fragile and some are showing up at stores with the punch having already fallen out before the case is opened. This makes unpunched cards pretty darn rare, but an exciting collectible.
Here in earthquake territory, I'm not even going to bother, but I applaud anybody who gives it a shot.

Looks like the protests in Egypt have spilled over into Iran.
TEHRAN Clashes between Iranian police and tens of thousands of protesters wracked central Tehran on Monday as security forces beat and fired tear gas at opposition supporters hoping to evoke Egypt's recent popular uprising.
An Iranian was shot dead, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
The opposition called for a demonstration Monday in solidarity with Egypt's popular revolt that a few days earlier forced the president there to resign after nearly 30 years in office. The rally is the first major show of strength for Iran's cowed opposition in more than a year.
Police used tear gas against the protesters in central Tehran's Enghelab, or Revolution, square and in Imam Hossein square, as well as in other nearby main streets. Demonstrators responded by setting garbage bins on fire to protect themselves from the stinging white clouds.
U.S. supports protesters
The United States stands with Iranian opposition supporters, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Monday, calling on Tehran to grant its citizens the same freedoms that were recently won by protests in Egypt.
"Let me, clearly and directly, support the aspirations of the people who are in the streets in Iran today," Clinton told reporters after meeting with the Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner.
"What we see happening in Iran today is a testament to the courage of the Iranian people, and an indictment of the hypocrisy of the Iranian regime -- a regime which over the last three weeks has constantly hailed what went on in Egypt," Clinton said.
"We wish the opposition and the brave people in the streets across cities in Iran the same opportunities that they saw their Egyptian counterparts seize."

The series' opening music starts with drums and lightly mixes in the Star Wars theme. Why is that an homage? The 4th draft of the original Star Wars was written by Lucas starting with war drums.
The 4th draft is essentially the first real version of the saga that we know, it's the first one that begins with the "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away", and it's largely the one that was crafted into the shooting script, the first one with help from Gloria Katz & Willard Huyck...[FONT=Times New Roman]The Adventures of Luke StarkillerAs you can see, while the final script still was still looming on the horizon, this was after Lucas all but started over and what we know as Star Wars really came into focus. And that idea of "war drums echoing through the heavens" was dropped in favor of John Williams excellent opening theme, but clearly it had a place in Lucas' mind, and now enjoys one in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

"Helping Hunters Train Their Dogs"

Too many dogs to list (By some Bitch)
"Helping Hunters Train Their Dogs"
I have read everyone's post on this an have enjoyed reading everyone of them. This is a great discussion. I run and judge at the Jr and Sr levels. I believe in challenging dogs on setups an want to be a challenging test when I run my dogs. I for one would try my best as a judge NOT to put on this type of test as I agree at this level of dogs it can be to much. BUT IT IS A LEGAL TEST. An UNFAIR TEST BUT LEGAL TEST. An this is why SHALL NOT......... That is why. It doesn't say WILL NOT or CAN NOT. Read in rule book under PLANNING HUNTING SITUATIONS at the bottom of paragraph it states " while keep in mind the fact that retrieves should not normally exceed 100 yards." The key words was SHOULD NOT in that statement. How many test have we all ran at all levels the marks are over 100 yards? They can put them past 100yards because the wording SHOULD NOT. If the rule book read Blinds WILL NOT or CAN NOT be ran between marks in Senior Test it would make the test not legal. We all have thank AKC for this. I had this discussion with Jerry Mann myself an that was the key to the whole thing. Wording of the rules he pointed out. He AGREES with us on not being a fair test but it is legal because they ran the blind first.
Like I said at beginning of this response I DON'T agree with blinds between marks at Senior level. But it was a legal test. I would make note of those judges an try NOT to run under them again. That's best way to deal with it.
Just so everyone know the reason I talk to Jerry Mann on this is because I have ran a Sr test on water that the blind was between the marks. It was more under the arc of one mark that bird landed way out in water an both marks where down wind of blind. Blind was ran first with invite to the marks. I give these judges good credit of take bird scent factory out. There was a 30+ dog field in this test an 20+ dogs passed the test. I was of them an it was for a title. That day I really felt I earned it.
I DID NOT agree with the test but it was LEGAL cause blind was ran first. Plus I don't agree on running blinds before marks at senior level. Most dogs go out on blinds. So they don't even get to do the marks by running blind first. Not big fan at all

Some of you are going to respond to my post on wording of rule book. I hope that your response is that the wording should be change so it not a GRAY area as I've been told me a time when discussion the rules. Make it clear to us all handlers and judges.
So Wayne to answer you question. The Hunt Test Committee was INCORRECT in making the judges changing the test because it was within the rules of AKC.
I think most here agree that in TRAINING you TRAIN above the level you are thinking about running. So,, a Senior dog, probably has the training, and talent to run one of these tests, BUT THATS NOT THE POINT! The different levels are for Progression. Maybe as a handelr, you want to guage how solid your dogs work is compared to the Senior written standard. NOT what someones OPINION is about needing to challenge dogs more,, or setting up a Ball buster tests just to proove he can...
I dont believe a Senior test should be a Master minus one mark.
I wish I had a dog , and I wish that dog had a handler that could COMPETE at a higher level (FT) because the more things change,, COMPETITION makes far more sense to me now..
You and I are on the same page Gooser...

Will you be going to the Star Wars Celebration II?
Let's talk about it here!
Will you be going to the Star Wars Celebration II?
Let's talk about it here!
I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
I wish I could say "still unsure", but between not being able to afford it, the city being not interesting to me, the previous one being such a debacle, and this one being run by Hasbro (I mean, if it had been FANtastic media again, I would think they MIGHT have been able to learn from their previous mistakes, but this is now being handled by a totally new organization who has no previous experience with something like this), I'm definitely in the "no show" category.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I'll be there... covering the show and taking a lot of Star Wars in!
I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
I wish I could go. I want a Celebration II Figure. Maybe you'll give me one for free SirSteve.
I wanted to go and planned to go, but money seems to be an issue. I don't get paid for time off work, so I'm S.O.L.
[FONT=Tahoma]I was born at night, but not last night.[/FONT]You Shouldn't believe everything that you read.(Like my posts)
I'll be leaving from here in North Dakota on May 1st. We all went to the E1 Celebration in Denver. Boy, what a mud pit! Rained the who time we were there. But, we had a blast! Anyway, picking up my bro Rick and our cousin at the Indianapolis airport the next day. We're going for the Friday and Saturday openings. Received my passes with Fan Club lanyard about 2 weeks ago. Get to go into the store and other venues 1 hour early than non-Fan Club members. Hopefully going to get as many of the E2 Celebration exclusive figures as I'm able to. Also, will be trying to get as many autographs as possible in those 2 days as well. So, for those of you out there who are going, maybe we'll see you there. For those not going, start saving up for Celebration 3.
I'd go just to see what it's like, but I'm suspicious that it's going to be a zoo. I can just see hundreds (or thousands) of thirty-fourtysomethings pushing through a crowd just to get a glimpse of the guy who was the puppeteer for Jabba's tonque in ROTJ or the cleaning woman who unclogged the toilet in Natalie Portman's trailer when they were shooting in Spain.
There's no way I'd fork out the bucks for the planefare, the hotel, and the tix. Maybe if SSG wants to pony up I'll go as a guest correspondent...
"I'm just a YES man trying to make my way in the universe." - Jango McCallum
"Good dialogue and smooth editing are no match for a good YES man by your side, kid." - George Lucas
I'll be there in Stormtrooper armor with the 501st and you may just see me checking badges at the door as the 501st has worked a deal with Wizards of the Coast and Lucasfilms to do volunteer work at the show! Granted there will be a load of troopers at the show, but if you run into any that answer to the name Caysey (me), don't be shy! See you there, it should be a blast!
I've gone from being unable to afford it, to being offered almost a promotion in my field (though it's actually a different job in the same department). My guess is that I better stay and put in to this new job I wanted so badly. The catch-22 being, now I may have the money, but not the time.
If life allows it, I have the desire, so I will show up there. It will be a last minute thing for me though, so I'll be staying in some hotel, the next town over.
'Dagobah' is a better name for those of us who survived Denver.
Just counting down the days!

There is a scene in Jon Land's forthcoming thriller novel Strong Rain Falling — set for release next summer — where Caitlin Strong finally arrives in her author's hometown: Providence, Rhode Island. The trigger-happy Texas Ranger who stars in Strong Justice and Strong Vengeance is accompanying her surrogate son for a meeting with Brown University's football coach. And while they're in town, Strong happens to kill four Mexican hitmen in a shootout at WaterFire.
"And it's not just a gunfight," says an excitable Land, sitting in a booth at the Wayland Square Diner, waving his arms, slugging coffee, and taking bites from a bagel. "She shoots somebody, they lose control of the boat, the boat slams into one of the braziers, gasoline sprays everywhere, the boat blows up, and now you've got this big fire."
That Land, who has been writing novels for 30 years, would turn to Providence is no great surprise. After all, the city has become an increasingly irresistible setting for thrillers and noir dramas in recent years. And the capital is about to take on an even grander project.
Thanks to Land's behind-the-scenes campaigning, Brown University recently signed a deal with trade group International Thriller Writers to start a first-of-its-kind thriller archive among its special collections at the John Hay Library. While the industry's biggest annual convention, ThrillerFest, will remain in New York City, the axis of the thriller universe has tilted further in Rhode Island's direction. Starting later this month, the manuscripts, notes, drafts, contracts, and other materials generated by thriller writers around the world will be funneled to Providence.
To celebrate the inauguration of the archive, Land — a Brown alum and former director of marketing for ITW — will moderate a panel discussion on November 15 featuring some of the biggest names in modern publishing: David Baldacci, Nelson DeMille, Steve Berry, Lisa Gardner, and R.L. Stine. Together, those writers boast nearly half a billion books in circulation. That's "billion" with a "b."
"Collecting popular writers and genres, whether it's good literature or not, it really gives an insight in terms of the tastes and the culture of a particular time," says Thomas Horrocks, the director of special collections at Brown and the head of the Hay Library. Traditionally, an Ivy League library might look down on archiving something like the thriller, he says. (Think of Columbia's Butler Library, with "SOPHOCLES" and "ARISTOTLE" etched in its stone facade). But with collections on magic and comic books, alongside works by Abraham Lincoln and George Orwell, Brown has always been mindful of the popular reader's palate as well.
"A hundred years from now scholars will be studying the thriller genre of the 20th century or 21st century," Horrocks says. And when they do, they will come to Providence.
"Give me any great book and I'll explain to you why it's a thriller," Land says. "Hemingway's great war scenes? Nobody wrote a war better than Hemingway; they read like a thriller writer . . . Huck Finn is a great thriller. Huck is trying to rescue Jim, Huck's life is in danger."

The Blank Advent Calendar
Here's to more handmade with a blank advent calendar that can be personalized in so many ways by all you lovely supportive peeps.
Download and print out the Blank Advent Calendar Adobe pdf file which includes the front and back. I printed mine out on cardstock so it's be a bit beefy. The first page is the calendar front. You will cut off the top portion at the indicated line and then, using an x-acto blade, cut out the three sides to each square which will be the flaps you lift up on each day.
Use a straight edge to make a crease at the top of each flap so when excited or smaller hands go to flip up a page they don't rip your cardstock.
For the backside, you fold over at the indicated line and, using a hole punch, punch out a hole so your calendar can hang. At this point it will be easier to put in the stuff that will be hidden behind the flaps. Consider stamps (The Small Object stamps will all fit perfectly behind the flaps!), fabric squares, drawings from your favorite small folks, magazine cut-outs or photos of your family or whatever else you can think of that will be fabulous.
After the backside is all looking great, you need to add the numbers to the front flap. You can hand drawn them on or use stamps or paper cut outs, whatever you like. Start with number 1 and go through 25.
Finally, you can attached the front piece. You can either just staple it across the top, sew a straight stitch across the top or glue down the entire front being careful to leave the flaps you just cut free and not glued. And if you want to get really crazy, use a piece of felt or interfaced fabric for the top piece and use the paper printout as a template for where to cut out the flaps. Awesome.

Sponsored by Galileo, but all opinions are mine alone.
We all love summer vacation. And why not? For kids, it's a long, long break from projects, homework, and essays. And for parents, it's an equally long break from having to bug the kids to do all of those things. But there's a downside to all that time away from school, and it's sometimes called the "summer brain drain." On average, kids lose from one to three months of learning between the end of one school year and the beginning of the next. And teachers have to spend the first month or two of the new school year getting the kids up to speed on everything they'd learned the year before.
For me—and many other parents—avoiding the brain drain is a top priority. But so is giving the kids (and maybe ourselves) a little down time. The challenge, then, is to find activities that keep the mind active but are so fun that no one realizes that they're actually learning something. In my family, that often means field trips. Lots of 'em. Some last only a few hours, some a few weeks.
Over the years, we've spend incredible amounts of time at the Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley, Chabot Space and Science Center, the Exploratorium, Zeum, the California Academy of Sciences, the Randall Museum, the DeYoung, MOMA, and many of the dozens of lesser-known museums around the San Francisco Bay Area, featuring collections of Pez, tattoos, banned toys, mummies, pinball machines, modern art, cable cars, and cartoons.
Unfortunately, most adults can't take off the entire summer to hang with the kids. Someone's got to put food on the table and shoes on everyone's feet and we don't want to just leave the kids to fend for themselves. In most cases, that means finding camps that are both fun and educationally engaging. Oh, and is a little convenience for mom and dad too much to ask for? My kids have done day camps and sleep away camps, science camps, sports camps, boating camps, tech camps, and pretty much any other kind of camp you can think of.
One of our favorites has always been the Galileo camps, which have it all: convenience, education, fun, if you visit their website now you can save $30 per camper (sign up for their newsletter and you can win an expense-paid week at the camp of your choice). When my kids went to Galileo camps, they did art, science, and plenty of outdoors activities. I always loved that when I'd pick them up in the afternoon, they were usually filthy, exhausted, smiling, and full of stories about some cool thing they'd learned that day. The experiences they have at Galileo will last a lifetime. My older two kids (now 24 and 21) still remember the words to some of the songs they learned at Galileo—including one that involved a rubber chicken. I've never quite understood that one.
If you're in the greater SF Bay Area, you can—and should!—make Galileo a part of your family's history. Your children will get engrossed in art projects, science challenges and outdoor activities that will make them laugh, think and express themselves with complete freedom.
For kids pre-K through 4th grade, Galileo has more than 25 camps around the Bay Area (see the full list here). Every year, Galileo introduces rich, riveting new themes to inspire budding innovators. Each theme combines art, science and outdoor activities around a whimsical week-long narrative that's crafted to keep kids giggling and engaged. This year features four fresh themes, each adapted for three different age groups. The themes are created together with Galileo's fabulous curriculum partners at Klutz, The de Young Museum, The Tech Museum of Innovation and The Chabot Space & Science Center.
- Adventures Down Under: Art & Science of Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea
- Galileo Road Trip: Art & Engineering along Route 66
- The Incredible Human Body: Art & Science of Being Human
- Leonardo's Apprentice: Inventions & Art of the Renaissance
And for 5th-8th graders, there are 18 camps, called Summer Quest (see the complete list here). Summer Questers pick from 18 week-long "majors," including digital filmmaking, video game design, fashion design, inventors workshop, chemistry, and cooking. Call it (as the camp does) "an incubator for emerging innovators." If that doesn't make you want to be a kid again, not much will.
Concerned about the staff (you'd be crazy not to be)? Here's what Galileo says about that. And I can add that in my experience, they do exactly what they say they're going to do: "Our curriculum team spends thousands of hours developing creatively fertile themes, activities and majors. We interview thousands of applicants to find the most talented counselors and instructors. We combine those two essential elements to introduce kids to a third—an innovation process inspired by the one developed at the Stanford d.school."
If you sign your camper for any of the Galileo camps by May 31, you can save $30 per camper by using the code 2014INNOVATION. And if you sign up for the newsletter, you'll automatically be entered for a chance to win a free week of summer camp.

Biliary atresia is a blockage in the tubes (ducts) that carry a liquid called bile from the liver to the gallbladder.
Biliary atresia occurs when the bile ducts inside or outside the liver do not develop normally. The reason why this happens is unknown.
The bile ducts help remove waste from the liver and carry salts that help the small intestine break down (digest) fat.
In babies with biliary atresia, bile flow from the liver to the gallbladder is blocked. This can lead to liver damage and cirrhosis of the liver, which can be deadly.
Newborns with this condition may appear normal at birth. However, jaundice (a yellow color to the skin and mucus membranes) develops by the second or third week of life. The infant may gain weight normally for the first month. After that point, the baby will lose weight and become irritable, and will have worsening jaundice.
Other symptoms may include:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam, which includes feeling the patient's belly area. The doctor may feel an enlarged liver.
Tests to diagnose biliary atresia include:
An operation called the Kasai procedure is done to connect the liver to the small intestine. The abnormal ducts are bypassed. It is most successful if done before the baby is 8 weeks old. However, a liver transplant may still be needed.
Early surgery will improve the survival of more than a third of babies with this condition. The long-term benefit of a liver transplant is not yet known, but it is expected to improve survival.
Call your health care provider if your child appears jaundiced, or if other symptoms of biliary atresia develop.

The search for someone to play with Brian Gionta and Scott Gomez continued today as the Canadiens returned to practice after two days off. Tom Pyatt and Mathieu Darche alternated at left wing on the line and it appears Pyatt will get a look when the Canadiens play the New Jersey Devils Thursday night at the Bell Centre.
Coach Jacques Martin has used Benoit Pouliot and Travis Moen in that spot this season and neither has been particularly effective. Pouliot lined up yesterday on the No. 3 line with Jeff Halpern and Maxim Lapierre while Moen was with Dustin Boyd and Lars Eller.
The only news to come out of the practice is that defenceman Andrei Markov will not play against the Devils. When asked when fans might expect to see him in the lineup. Markov said: "I'll let you know."
AUDIO: Jacques Martin | Brian Gionta | Mike Cammalleri | Tom Pyatt

Since I can remember, Slashdot always had its same old look. It's not bad and it's certainly a trademark. But, in a sense, I believe it also made it look a little deprecated. Now, with the ferocious competition from Digg, Reddit and friends, I guess CmdrTaco and his gang finally decided to do away with the ancient design. So they held a contest for it, offering a laptop along the way.
Personally, I think that instead of hiring some design firm (which could undoubtedly come up with some awesome modern design), it was clever of them to ask the community to redesign the site for them, effortlessly picking the best of the bunch.
Turns out the best is an awesome face lift, which preserves every bit of the so-called trademark, but lends it a totally refreshed and slick look at the same time. The best of both worlds, I say. This is a perfect example of how small (but deep) changes can make a world of a difference when it comes to designing for the web.

Chaocracy and Our Malorderous B.O.
Using Wilber's nomenclature, the government would refer to the exterior-social, whereas culture is the interior-social, i.e., the We. The closer the government can come to expressing the will of the We, the better -- assuming, of course, that we are dealing with a virtuous populace. With a citizenry that lacks virtue, a virtuous autocrat would actually be preferable (in the short term, of course, until his inbred, syphilitic son takes the throne).
Obviously, the Founders never foresaw an unvirtuous populace. Well, actually they did, which is why they rejected democracy for a representative republic. This is also what led to our first factions -- let's just call them political parties -- i.e., the Federalists and the Regular Guys. The Federalists were extremely skeptical of the ability of grubby Regular Guys to govern themselves, and envisioned more of an aristocracy of virtuous Men of Slack (for Slack was required in order to cultivate virtue, e.g., manners, classical learning, disinterestedness, and the occasional bath).
The Federalists lasted only 12 years, until Jefferson, who pretended to speak for the Regular Guys, became president. The Democrat party can be traced back to him, in that it still consists of an intemperate rabble of utopian schemers, impractical dreamers, and condescending monied elites who presume to speak for the Regular Guys who just laugh at them behind their backs.
Today, these self-styled elites mostly prop each other up in a nationwide televised intellectual jerk circle, so that, say, a Thomas Friedman and a David Gergen (to pick two clowns at random) can convince each other and themselves that they are not vacuous mediocrities with nothing important to say. Their real job is not to convey useful ideas to people who need them, but to manufacture and maintain self-importance in each other through the propagation of conventional wisdom.
For example, if you are one of those many people who think that Obama is "brilliant," it is very likely that you are a member in good standing (no pun intended) of the elite jerk circle. In affirming your belief that B.O. is something more than a failed community organizer and affirmative action political hire, other members of the jerk circle will confirm your brilliance, sophistication, and discrimination, and elevate you above those tea-bagging talk radio listeners and sexy leather-clad biker chicks -- you know, the millions of Regular Guys & Gals you presume to speak for.
Anyway, enough history. More sexy leather-clad biker chicks!
There can be no government in the absence of force, i.e., violence (potential or actual). But this violence is only legitimate if 1) it is rooted in ordered reason, and 2) it expresses the will of the people, i.e., the interior social. But again, when we speak of the "people," it is the individual who is the ultimate source of order, for a nation of disordered souls cannot produce an ordered government. To put it another way, people who cannot even master their own domain have no business trying to master mine.
But one of the shell games the left plays with virtue is to conflate it with politically correct stances on social issues. For example, you can be the most hateful, mean-spirited, and disordered person -- say, Sean Penn, or Alec Baldwin -- but so long as you support "gay marriage" or believe in "global warming," then the left considers you a Good Person. Dennis Prager was talking about this the other day, i.e., the replacement of the classical virtues with mere political correctness.
For the left, to become "socially conscious" is analogous to baptism, which washes away one's sins. But becoming socially conscious never involves seeing through the intoxicating and destructive lies of the left, much less ordering of one's own disordered soul. That would be too difficult. Much easier to just wish rectal cancer on one's critics. After all, didn't Thomas Jefferson say that the Tree of Marxism must occasionally be refreshed with the blood of Fox viewers?
Now, man is not perfect, so inevitably we must have a government that has the power to crack the occasional head and lock up the disordered people who threaten the general order. But what if the very forces of disorder take control of the government?
As a matter of fact, we have been on this downward trend for the past 75 or so years, and Obama represents the apex -- or nadir -- of this baleful ascent of the chaocracy. For example, we all know what happened when the judical chaocrats took control in the 1960s, and crime -- the very definition of disorder -- skyrocketed. But their solution was to define deviancy even further down, so that abnormality became the new normal.
For the chaocrats are fundamentally naive about the source of order, generally because they don't believe in the soul, much less an ordered one. Rather, as someone put it (Eliot?), they dream of top-down systems so perfect that no one will need to be good. For example, that's what the government takeover of healthcare is all about. Just like Medicare, this vast system will be so effective that it will eliminate fraud, waste, and increased demand for "free" services. Thus, it will not just cure men, but finally cure Man. And they call themselves reality-based.
But socialists perversely punish responsibility (i.e., order) in the effort to eliminate irresponsibility (disorder). For example, I would like to be responsible for my own health and retirement, and suffer the consequences if I don't plan for the future. Is that a bad thing? Yes, it is -- so bad that the left would like to outlaw the selfish pursuit of my own health. (Step one: make it too expensive.)
As I have mentioned on a number of occasions, if one's political philosophy is not rooted in an accurate anthropology, then it will not just be wrong, but actually engender oppression, for you will be like a deranged zookeeper who puts the penguins with the toucans or feeds grass to the lions. To take just one obvious example, if you do not believe that man was created to be free, then you will have no problem with a political philosophy that devalues or even eliminates man's freedom.
Or, as Schall puts it, "Politics presupposes our understanding of the internal order or disorder of human beings." Without this understanding, we will create a political order that is literally appropriate for some other nonexistent species. For example, let's say that your anthropology doesn't go beyond a literal-minded, fundamentalist Darwinism, with no recognition whatsoever of the transcendent order that is man's true ground and destiny. What would your resultant ideal political order look like? I won't even get into the possibilities, because I don't want to violate Godwin's law this early in the morning.
To be continued. Probably no post tomorrow, as I have a very early day.

Family: Heteromyidae, Pocket Mice and Kangaroo Rats view all from this family
Description Soft-furred and tiny. Pale buff above, underparts whitish. Tail darker above. 2 small white patches at base of ears. Soles of hind feet furred. L (from nose to tip of tail) 4 1/4" (110 mm); T 2 1/8" (53 mm); HF 5/8" (15 mm); Wt 1/4 oz (7 g).
Endangered Status The Pacific Pocket Mouse, a subspecies of the Little Pocket Mouse, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in California. This coastal-dweller plummeted in number as residential development overtook its habitat. For about 20 years it was assumed to be extinct, but a single population of fewer than 40 mice was discovered in 1993. These mice are preyed upon by feral and pet cats, and their habitat is threatened with development. This population's only hope for survival is the removal of cats from its vicinity and the preservation of its habitat or its relocation to a new habitat. It is not known whether other populations of this mouse still exist.
Habitat Sandy coastal soils.
Range Southern coastal California.

It isn't everyday that an opportunity comes along to hear newly discovered advice for SUCCESS in tough times book by Napoleon Hill, the legendary author of THINK & GROW RICH, THE MAGIC LADDER TO SUCCESS and THE MASTER KEY TO RICHES.
The Lost Prosperity Secrets of Napoleon Hill consists of a series of magazine articles Napoleon Hill wrote between 1919 and 1923 for Success Magazine, for which he eventually became an editor. Hill's drive to become successful led him from the poverty stricken Appalachian Mountains to meetings with rags-to-riches tycoons. These articles focus on Hill's philosophy of success. Drawing upon the thoughts and experiences of a multitude of influential people, Hill shows readers how those successful people achieved their status. Many of these writings have been the basis of several bestselling books. Readers will discover principles designed to guide them in putting these steps to success into action.
It is in these early articles that Hill honed his theories, refined his arguments, and polished his presentation of the success philosophy for the ordinary person.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Napoleon Hill was born in 1883 in a one-room cabin on the Pound River in Wise County, Virginia. He began his writing career at age 13 as a "mountain reporter" for small town newspapers and went on to become America's most beloved motivational author. He passed away in November 1970 after a long and successful career writing, teaching, and lecturing about the principles of success.
Hill established the Napoleon Hill Foundation as a non-profit educational institution whose mission is to perpetuate his philosophy of leadership, self-motivation, and individual achievement.

CPJ's exiled journalists survey: Behind the numbers
In 2007, my colleague Karen Phillips suggested we do something to mark World Refugee Day. Initially planning to publish a brief statement, I set about reviewing our data for background, checking in with older journalist cases about their current situation and looking broadly for trends to highlight. As the number of cases began counting into the hundreds, it became clear that what we had was a new indicator of press freedom conditions. Today, we're marking our fifth year of publishing the CPJ survey of journalists in exile, which is based on 10 years of data on 649 cases.

Phil LeClaire is like a lot of parents - he's spent a fair amount of time attending his sons' athletic and school activities and perhaps an equal amount of time dining out after those events. But something bothered him about the post-game meals.
"I found that there was a lack of casual, good food in the Brookfield area," he said. "A lot of the casual spots were either chains or taverns."
LeClaire opened his own restaurant, Mozzaluna, which offers Brookfield a new casual dining option in the Stonewood Village Shopping Center on Capitol Drive. Mozzaluna (which is a made-up name combining mozzarella cheese and a mezzaluna knife) occupies the former home of Mr. B's Steakhouse.
Mozzaluna is a casual restaurant that serves authentic wood-fired Italian pizzas and other Italian dishes.
"We use real ingredients from Italy - fresh mozzarella, for example and other top-notch ingredients," LeClaire explains.
Pizza is the specialtymade with a light, authentic, Italian crust. Some of the popular pizzas are the Mozzaluna with tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula and Parmesan ($12.99), the Margherita with tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, olive oil and oregano ($7.99) and the Bianca with mozzarella, ham and shaved Parmesan ($9.50). All of the pizzas are individual and measure about 11 inches. For an additional $2, you can order "fior di latte" - fresh mozzarella. Other popular items include the Ravioli di Funghi ($12.99) and the Ribeye Panini ($11.99).
Mozzaluna prides itself on being authentic Italian, including the chef, Alfredo D'Amato, from Italy.

Give cookie bars a seriously decadent makeover with the help of coconut and candy bars. Your secret shortcut is Betty Crocker oatmeal cookie mix.
The easiest way to drizzle sweetened condensed milk over these bars is to pierce 2 holes—a large and a small one—in the top of the can. This allows air to get into the can and makes the milk flow out much smoother than it would without that second hole.
Make-ahead magic! These bars are great when made the night before, and they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bob Drogin of The Los Angeles Times will discuss his book "Curveball: Spies, Lies and the Con Man Who Caused a War" at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 26, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Drogin's book details the story of "Curveball," the name given by Western intelligence officials to an Iraqi informant who, in leading up to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, was a key source for claims that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
Drogin has covered intelligence and national security in the Washington bureau of The Los Angeles Times since 1998. He previously spent a decade as a foreign correspondent, reporting on the first Gulf War and other news in some 50 countries. He has won or shared numerous journalism prizes, including the Pulitzer Prize, an Overseas Press Club of America Award and two Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
