Seaborg Center participates in the promotion of STEM college and career readiness
Northern Michigan University's Seaborg Center is participating in the Michigan STEM Partnership to promote the education and awareness of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The Michigan STEM Partnership began after Governor Rick Snyder asked the Michigan Mathematics and Science Centers Network, of which the Seaborg Center is a part of, to head efforts to promote STEM college and career readiness in Michigan. The Seaborg Center and the four other U.P. Math and Science Centers comprise the Superior Hub and host quarterly meetings that bring local community members, educators, and NMU leaders together to discuss how they can increase STEM college and career readiness in the Upper Peninsula.
Collectively the Superior Hub has come up with a list of goals and ideas about what it will do to promote STEM in the U.P. Those goals include finding funding and locations for STEM-learning field trips, involving businesses in mentoring support and opportunities in and out of schools, engaging families in STEM activities that include knowledge of STEM careers and economic realities, and incorporating STEM concepts into all areas of curriculum at all ages. The Superior Hub hosts multiple events each year for local students and their families around the U.P.
Michigan organizations that promote the STEM fields in any way can register their organization on the Partnership website under "Share your STEM assets" or "Share your STEM resources." The STEM Partnership hopes to gather information about all businesses, industries, organizations, individuals and more that can contribute to STEM awareness which will make STEM outreach as effective as possible.

: : I read this recently and have no idea what was intended. ??
: I've never heard the expression. Here's a guess: a paper comet would burn out quickly so maybe "following a paper comet" is symbolic of leadership that will fail or go nowhere.
: How is the expression used in a sentence?
Similarly, I wonder whether someone is coining the phrase on the basis of the expression "paper tiger", the latter being someone who appears fierce and determined, but who is in fact weak and ineffectual.

For several weeks, we've been learning to make the perfect selection. What happens when you finally have the selection you want and need to quit or shut-down the computer? You certainly don't want to re-do all that work!
Use the Save Selection command to save as an alpha channel visible an your Channels palette. It's important to realize that you are not saving the marching ants outline. Photoshop saves it as an alpha channel that controls where the image effect takes place.
Open the Save Selection dialog box, name the new channel and click OK. A new channel is added to your Channels palette. Notice you don't deselect the selection when you save it.
Another option for saving your selection is to go to your Channels palette and click the Save Selection as Channel button.
To load a selection, there are also two options. First, you can choose Select, Load Selection and selecting the name of the desired channel. The second option is to go to the Channels palette. Click and drag the desired channel to the Load Channel as Selection button or Ctrl-click (Cmd-click) on the alpha channel to turn it into a selection.

Fusion-io Sees Shock Waves from 'Atomic' Storage Devices
Former Hewlett-Packard technology chief Shane Robison was hired last year to help reboot operations at Fusion-io, a pioneer in bringing smartphone-style data storage to computer rooms. Now he's putting a stamp on its product line.
The Salt Lake City company is hosting an event in San Francisco Wednesday to announce its next jump in technology, a piece of hardware called Atomic that is aided by a new generation of the widely used chips known as flash memory.

Lundin Mining, the Canadian company that was the subject of a $C4.8 billion takeover offer from
Lundin said on Wednesday that although the company received several non-binding expressions of interest during the review process, none represented adequate value.
It determined that the best way forward was to "continue to manage and develop the company's quality assets and to actively seek growth opportunities".
Perth-based copper miner Equinox announced its offer for Lundin in late February.
But the Lundin board resisted the unsolicited approach, partly due to the offer being financed by a $US3.2 billion bridge loan.
The situation was complicated in early April when China's Minmetals Resources launched a $C6.3 billion takeover bid for Equinox.
Equinox did not pull the Lundin offer immediately. However, it was scrapped when the world's largest gold miner, Canada's Barrick Gold, mounted a $C7.3 billion friendly counter-bid for Equinox.
Lundin's Australian chief executive, Phil Wright, will step down at the end of the financial year in accordance with his previously announced plans to retire.
Senior vice president, corporate development, Paul Conibear will lead the company in an acting capacity until a permanent replacement is found.

Price probably seems ok ...but it all comes down to condition / you didn't attach a photo ...so I can't evaluate that / and its hard to do unless you have the gun in your hands.
5,000 shells....in the life of any decent gun is only 200 boxes...thru the gun / most of us that shoot Trap or any clays at all ...put a minimum of 4 boxes a week thru our primary gun in practice ...and then whatever tournaments we shoot on weekends...and 10 boxes a week thru our primary guns are not uncommon. Weather has been good up here in the Northwest this summer...and this week, I put 12 boxes thru my primary 12ga gun in practice - and a few more in my 28ga.
So 200 boxes would barely be casual use for most of us ...and 3 or 4 months use by many of us....
I have a lot of Browning O/U's made by Miroku in Japan / that have 250,000 - 500,000 shells thru them ....with no issues.
I know Miroku made some guns under their own label ...and for a few other companies ..to other specs....and I don't know that they have the reputation of the guns made for Browning...but I think in general they're considered decent guns / but I don't see many of them around either - not sure why.

I distinguish science communication from science writing. If you think about a science paper, you provide lots of references, which is the scientific context for that study. Science communication provides societal examples, because it's all about context, to make the message translate to a broader audience. In scientific literature, there is usually just text, while in science communication, we try to balance with graphics and use color. We worry in scientific publications about who's the first author, who's not an author, and the types of acknowledgement. Scientific communication is much more inclusive, and we generally have a larger list of authors. In science writing we focus on the results, and how we can interpret those results, while in science communication we focus on the conclusions and recommendations, and how we can turn those results into policy or implementation.
And after doing this for ten years or so, I feel that you can teach science to anybody, as long as you provide synthesis, visualizations and context. You can have cab drivers explaining to you what denitrification does if they are given enough synthesis, visualization and context. One of the tools we have been evolving, what I would call an innovation, is using conceptual diagrams to communicate science effectively. What I mean by 'conceptual diagram' is a diagram using symbols that depicts the essential attributes of a system, or a 'thought drawing'. We've found that these are useful because they help clarify our thinking; they allow and invite two-way communications with the community. When I was involved in the Healthy Waterways program in the Southeast Queensland, going out to the church basements and council chambers on a regular basis, I would show people pie charts and other scientific output graphs. Their eyes would glaze over, and hopefully they trusted me, but it didn't invite any dialog. When I put up a colorful diagram, they were all over it. It created a two-way dialog. Conceptual diagrams are also good for identifying gaps and priorities. We use diagrams in proposals, and for developing synthesis, and we've actually published scientific papers using a diagram as a central organizing theme or a figure to add to the message. The technique of using symbols in conceptual diagrams is ancient, and it's extremely powerful. Symbols were around long before words, and they are cultural and language independent. We put a symbol library on the web about six years ago, and people really started grabbing on to it and it started creating, slowly but surely, a global symbol language. We have 2500+ symbols currently in our library that have been downloaded from virtually every corner of the world. Originally they were created for use with Adobe Illustrator, a fairly expensive software program, but we've recently been able to create an online version that does not require software.
On our IAN website we have created an online conceptual diagram creator where you can access these 2500 symbols one by one. It's not as powerful as Illustrator, but it's free. This kind of tool, with the language created by using symbols, can allow us to communicate more broadly, across more cultures and more places. After registering, you can go through a searchable library. You call up a base, and then populate a base with a symbol or a suite of symbols. The symbols are all vectors, they're scalable, you can blow them up and they maintain their proportions, to use in posters, or alternatively as small thumbnails.
This blog post was created from a presentation by Bill Dennison to the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network in Melbourne, Australia on 29 Mar, 2011 (see other posts in the series). The full powerpoint presentation can be accessed on IAN Press.

AED fundraiser's next goal: cardiac testing
Sue Edson began a mission in 2011 to get automated external defibrillators, or AEDs, into every school in School District 51.
She achieved that goal this fall, when Community Hospital donated $77,000 to her organization, ARVD Heart for Hope. That donation paid for 50 AEDs. The Palisade Lions Club donated two more devices, the Kiwanis Club donated another, and Edson and Grand Junction High student Robert Harrison helped bring AED devices before the hospital donation into all four of District 51's main high schools.
The donations were enough to place one AED in every District 51 school, plus Caprock Academy, Holy Family Catholic School and schools in De Beque, Collbran and Delta County School District 50. Edson now has a goal of getting more AEDs so school teams can travel with the devices and still leave one behind at the school. Edson estimated 300 people have been trained so far to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use the AED devices in schools, and District 51 plans to get all of its coaches CPR trained this school year.
"It's just been so rewarding — the excitement around it, how many people want to be trained," Edson said.
But she doesn't want to stop with AEDs. Edson's next project, in cooperation with Dr. Dilaawar "Danny" Mistry of Western Orthopedics and Sports Medicine and Community Hospital's Teri Schroeder, is "It's the Heart that Matters." The goal of that project is to raise awareness about the importance of cardiac screening in addition to regular health physicals and encourage athletes and people of all ages to have their hearts checked out.
The common thread between the projects is sudden cardiac arrest, a condition where the heart unexpectedly stops beating. An AED can restart the heart, but "It's the Heart that Matters" aims to ensure athletes know their risks of a cardiac episode before such a startling event occurs.
Mistry said he recommends athletes, especially those with symptoms of a heart condition like shortness of breath, chest pain, or a rapid heart beat, get both an electrocardiogram and an echocardiogram. Mistry said an EKG, which tests for problems with electrical activity in the heart, can be beneficial but confusing or misleading if not paired with an echocardiogram. An echocardiogram is essentially a sonogram of the heart to check for numerous factors, including blood flow, heart damage and heart size and structure.
Mistry worked with athletes at the University of Virginia before coming to Grand Junction 15 months ago. His colleague there, Head Team Cardiologist Bob Battle, will help him examine results from echocardiograms performed by Schroeder with a new, $85,000 heart sonogram machine Community Hospital has agreed to pay for to increase local access to echocardiograms.
"(Cardiac) testing has to be of very high quality or we're more likely to mistake normal cardiac physiology of athletes and sideline healthy athletes and not make the proper diagnosis for those with a problem," Battle said via phone Wednesday.
Mistry said pairing the two tests with a physical will help him and other physicians properly detect heart problems and advise athletes with a heart condition to curb their exercise practices to avoid complications such as sudden cardiac arrest.
"We have to do it this way or we're going to kill people," he said.

You just make them inline functions (which gcc supports too). The assembly stuff should have been relatively easy to port, because VC++'s __asm lets you access C expressions from the assembly.

Looking for a new friend? Check Facebook, where you can befriend the Dole Salad Guide or connect with Earthbound Farm's organic salad fans.
In an effort to build more personal relationships with consumers, Dole, Earthbound Farm and other fresh-cut processors are using social media, such as Facebook and Twitter.
In January, Dole Fresh Vegetables, Monterey, Calif., with public relations firm DGWB Advertising & Communications, Santa Ana, Calif., expanded its social media marketing program for the relaunched bagged salad line, said Russell Evans, senior brand manager.
The social media campaign is part of a broader packaged salad marketing strategy that is expected to make at least 1.7 billion media impressions through online media, consumer and trade publications, nationwide television spots, outdoor advertising and other strategies, Evans said.
An additional 2.6 billion in-store impressions are expected to reach consumers.
Evans said that response to the digital and interactive elements, including Facebook and Twitter accounts, advertising on Web sites such as Food Network and Hulu, and direct e-mails to consumers, has been good.
"We've been overwhelmed by salad enthusiasts' pent-up demand for salad-based conversations, recipe sharing and inspiration," he said in the message.
Navigating salads online
Dole's online salad-pitching salesman is a character called the Dole Salad Guide. He's a bearded, bespectacled fellow who interacts with consumers, posts salad-related tips and proclaims his love for all things salad on Facebook and Twitter accounts.
In early March, the Dole Salad Guide's Facebook page had more than 35,000 fans. Dole recently added a Facebook application that allows fans to swap recipes.
Visitors to the Dole salads Web site can use an interactive page to adjust flavor and texture scales to their liking and the site will then suggest salad blends that meet the profiles.
The new Fresh Express Artisan Salads Web site, www.freshexpressartisans.com, has its own ratings for each of four attributes: mild to bold; sweet to zesty; delicate to curly/crispy; and bright to dark.
Salinas, Calif.-based Fresh Express, a subsidiary of Cincinnati-based Chiquita Brands International, last year launched its first major consumer marketing campaign for value-added salads.
As a result of consumer-targeted messages, sales volumes in test markets have increased by 4% to 9%, said Ed Loyd, director of corporate communications and investor relations.
A current online campaign touts a new line of salad blends, the Fresh Express Artisanal Salads, as "Salads so flavorful … dressing optional."
The new salads are available at Henry's Farmers Market and Vons in California, according to the brand's Web site.
The triple-washed salads are packed in "eco-friendly brown bags with less plastic than the typical packaged salad," the Web site says.
The varieties advertised on the site are Sierra Crisp Herb, Crimson Petite Spinach, Wild Rocket Zest, and Harvest Moon Splendor. The Fresh Express Seasonal Salads Facebook page also lists Daisy Girl Medley and French Blossom.
The Web site offers recipes from Sam the Cooking Guy as well as coupons for $1.50 off an Artisanal Salad. Visitors can also watch a commercial on the site.
Although he didn't specifically mention the Artisanal Salads campaign, Loyd said Chiquita is pleased with the success of its consumer-focused marketing campaign and it plans to continue with it this year.
"There is significant room for growth in the $3 billion category that has so far been developed without the use of consumer marketing," Loyd said in an e-mail message.
San Juan Bautista, Calif.-based Earthbound Farm's Web site gets about 80,000 visits per month, said Samantha Cabaluna, communications director. About 50,000 of those visits are to the recipe section of the site.
Earthbound Farm also has a Twitter account and a Facebook page. Cabaluna said the company wants to engage in open and authentic interactions with its customers via its Web site and Twitter.
In early March, its Twitter account had about 130 followers, while its Facebook account had more than 1,000 fans.
Earthbound Farm plans to use Facebook to publicize this year's Earth Day promotions, Cabaluna said.
Social media applications
Crunch Pak is taking "baby steps" when it comes to social media marketing, said Tony Freytag, marketing director.
It has a Facebook page and a Twitter account, and it's planning to try new strategies within the next four months to drive more traffic to them.
In late February, Crunch Pak had about 50 Facebook fans and 30 Twitter followers.
"We want to be accustomed to it first," Freytag said. "Before long, you'll see Crunch Pak videos on Facebook."
Crunch Pak also plans to add interactive features to its Web site within the next six months, Freytag said.
Pero Family Farms Food Co. LLC, Delray Beach, Fla., is considering using social media as a marketing tool, said Ed Sullivan, chief marketing officer.
"There are ups and downs to that," he said.
While Facebook and Twitter are good for community relations, Sullivan said there are better ways of mining and managing consumer data.

By Mark Clarkson
Accurate, low-fidelity simulations are essential to the design of hypersonic vehicles, says Dr. Ryan Starkey, assistant professor and McAnally Faculty Fellow in aerospace engineering sciences at the University of Colorado, Boulder. High-fidelity simulations are just too computationally expensive.
The question is, says Starkey, "Can we do a better job of predictive design using a low-fidelity system? Can we pay a low-fidelity cost for a high-fidelity answer?"
Time and Expense
Above Mach 5, physical phenomena such as fluid flow or heat transfer act in non-linear ways. Worse, they are highly interdependent: Fluid flow affects heat transfer; heat transfer affects material properties, etc. Because you can no longer solve for these domains individually, every variable you add increases the number of solutions exponentially—and the analyses to produce those solutions can take a lot of time.
|CU-Boulder Assistant Professor Ryan Starkey, left, with some members of his team, looks over engine model nozzles for a first-of-its-kind supersonic unmanned aircraft vehicle. (Photo by Glenn Asakawa, University of Colorado.)
While a low-fidelity analysis of a complex flow field might take just half a second on his computer, Starkey says, "If I do a high-fidelity model of that same geometry, it might take an expert to build a computational fluid mesh for it. With the time required to do the actual simulation, the whole process can take a month—and maybe more."
That becomes untenable almost immediately. If you have, say, 100 interdependent variables to analyze over a range of conditions, it's clearly an impossible situation. The goal, therefore, was to get as close as possible to the one-month answer for the half-second price. One of Starkey's students, Kevin Basore, has been doing work on quantifying uncertainty in hypersonic vehicle design. The idea is to use the high-fidelity results to illuminate the shortcomings of low-fidelity models. What are those models getting wrong? What are they overlooking? How can they be tweaked and augmented to produce results closer to those of the high-fidelity analyses in much less time?
Quantifying Uncertainty
Starkey notes that Basore's work "looked at whether we can quantify ]and reduce] the uncertainty in a low-fidelity model.
What uncertainty are we talking about, exactly? Practically everything. "There might be uncertainty in the atmospheric modeling," says Starkey. "Maybe it's not exactly what we're going to see on the day of flight. There is uncertainty due to the physics of what we're predicting. We're trying to use reduced-order models, and we know that some of the physics are not modeled correctly. What's the effect of that?"
There's an inherent uncertainty in the equations the team uses to model chemical reactions, Starkey points out.
"We use reduced-order chemical reaction mechanisms; we might have 20 chemical reactions that mimic 200. That's another source of uncertainty and error," he adds. "What is the sensitivity of our final design to all of that uncertainty? Understanding that uncertainty helps us to do a better job of design."
Surrogate Models
Basore's low-fidelity models were primarily surrogate, or "black box," models. The idea behind a surrogate model is to reproduce the results of a high-fidelity simulation—or the results of real-world testing—without the computational overhead.
Say you want to understand the motion of a simple pendulum. You could build a pendulum and measure its motion, or construct a virtual pendulum and run it through a dynamics simulation. But you can get a pretty good approximation of a pendulum's motion using a (comparatively) simple differential equation. That equation is your surrogate model. It doesn't reproduce all the work going on inside a high-fidelity dynamics simulation, but it gives approximately the same result.
That differential equation might not take into account air resistance, friction, wobbling in a third dimension and other niceties. Those are the kinds of uncertainties for which Basore would be seeking to quantify, reduce and compensate.
Diamond Airfoil Test Case
The first part of the project was a calibration study, a trial run for the methodology and the software. Because pendulums don't figure prominently in hypersonic aircraft design, Basore chose a diamond, or double wedge, airfoil.
The lab ran both inviscid and viscous computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses for the airfoil. Inviscid analysis assumes an ideal fluid with no viscosity. It is, of course, not as accurate as viscid analysis, but it is computationally much simpler to solve. There is also a known, analytical inviscid solution for the diamond airfoil, so results could be checked against published results.
With both the inviscid and viscous analyses in hand, Basore had low- and high-fidelity predictions of the same flow field.
"We were looking to come up with a way to quantify the uncertainties," says Starkey, "so we can take what we know to be uncertain about our system across a wide range of performance characteristics—Mach number, angle of attack, altitude, and so forth—and correlate that back to our low-fidelity predictive solution."
Once the low-fidelity model was producing accurate results, Basore was ready to apply the same techniques to the more technically challenging problem of scramjet engine combustion.
The Scramjet Project
Scramjet combustion adds fast, complex chemical reactions to the equation. "The flow is passing through the engine in the millisecond time frame," says Starkey. "Our understanding of the chemistry—of how we can inject, mix and burn fuel in that couple of milliseconds—is essential to the scramjet functioning.
|GoJett Engineering Test Unit in Fabrication, held by Brandon Bosomworth, master's degree graduate. (Photo by Edgar Flores, University of Colorado).
"If we back off and do low-fidelity chemistry modeling, how does that do relative to high-fidelity modeling? Can we understand what uncertainties are in that low-fidelity system so we can correct them?" he asks. "If we have a conservative ]high-fidelity] method that always over-predicts something, can we have some basic understanding of that over-prediction and its magnitude? If so, then can we apply that same correction to low-fidelity code?"
Data Mining
All of this analysis produced lots of data. To organize and understand it, the team used Tecplot Chorus.
"Chorus became quite important in helping to sift through a lot of data very quickly," says Starkey, adding that it is "a phenomenal resource for data mining. It made data mining—comparing the data, seeing what's interesting in the data—very efficient."
Chorus also allowed them to discover interesting results that they might not have predicted, or even thought to look for. Before, Starkey and Basore would have hunches of a couple of things they thought were going to be important to examine more closely, based on their prior experience.
"I'd write some scripts to pore through all my data and create images, and then try to figure out a way to visualize them all," Starkey says. "It was a very laborious process."
Because Chorus helps visualize the data, it helped Starkey and Basore understand the differences among all the cases—parsing the data down, both visually and numerically, to search through it.
"If I throw up all my simulations and I see one doesn't look right, I can do a very simple visual comparison and see differences very quickly," Starkey explains.
Chorus can display existing images created during the simulation, or create new images from either volume or surface data.
"I can start to dig through my bulk data set, very efficiently," says Starkey. "I can say, 'I want to see the differences. Using this one as the baseline, how are the rest of these different, numerically?' Chorus will change the pictures to show me those differences. I can start to home in on the underlying physics that are causing that difference. Relative to the old way of doing things, Chorus is a phenomenal time-saver."
And the end result of all this analysis? The project was a success, says Starkey: "For the cases that we ran, it worked out very well."

Often, when we have been struggling with relationship problems for some time, it can take it's toll on the rest of our lives, dragging the life out of us.
Not too many of us have been shown how to have a really healthy and rewarding relationship. Mostly we are just doing the best we can, but are not really sure what else to do to improve things.
But it can be painful to feel you have lost that connection with the one you love most in the world. Sometimes, too, you can feel like you have also lost yourself in the relationship.
Then problems with communicating can exaggerate this, making the negative override cycle very difficult to come out of.
Your relationship can often move through a series of Stages as it progresses. You can find out what stage your relationship is at.
As Psychologists, we are experienced and can help you with all kinds of relationship and personal problems, including:
- Affairs – both in person and on-line
- Controlling behaviour of you or your partner
- Verbal or emotional abuse
- When one of you has more power than the other
- Lack of intimacy and feeling close
- Poor communication
- A feeling that you've lost the sense of feeling loved
- Relationship neglect from not enough time spent together
- All kinds of Sexual problems
- Problems that have come from your childhood
- Issues with parenting your children
- Step children and in-laws
- All forms of family problems
- Anger management issues for ether of you
- Porn addiction problems
- Pre-marriage assistance for couples ready to get married
- Help with Narcissistic tendencies for either of you
For advise on any relationship or sexual problems you may have visit our Relationship and Sex Advice page where you can search for your topic.
Our Hart Psychologists take pride in taking a very positive approach to our relationship counselling.
It is important for us to really understand the problems and perspectives of each of you, and at the same time, we find that most couples are looking to find a positive action plan and way through their problems to make changes which have a positive impact and a real sense of hope for their relationship.

Some of our clinics also provide after hours and Saturday sessions for your convenience.
For many people with problems, they find that their ways of communicating with each other are what get in the way of a happy healthy relationship.
Creating really effective communication is not something that we are usually taught. But for almost everyone who is having difficulties in their relationship, they feel that they are trying to communicate their thoughts and feelings and get their message across, but their partner is not listening.
When this happens, most of us aren't inclined to listen either, as you are not willing to be putting in effort when your partner isn't, so this results in neither of you getting what you want and a lot of frustration all round.
So being shown how to communicate your honest thoughts and feelings in a way that your partner does truly listen is a crucial skill for you to feel that you are in a fulfilling relationship. We can show you some simple but effective principles on how to do this with each other.
If you have been in a number of relationships and have found yourself repeating over and over the same kind of experiences, which almost always happens, we can help you discover the patterns that you might be unconsciously creating, so you can change these and move into more rewarding relationships in the future.

DUNEDIN — As his boat started out from Dunedin Marina, Courtney Douthit glanced back to a shock Sunday.
A Mercury Marquis accelerated from a parking space, over the seawall and into the harbor. A couple in their 80s were inside.
Douthit halted his boat and jumped into 6 feet of water. He was joined by two others, and they saved the couple by shattering the car's rear window with a fire extinguisher and their bare hands, and pulling them out as they sank.
"It could have been your grandparents, that's part of the deal," said Douthit, an electrician and part-time fishing guide. "We were there at perfect timing."
Joseph Schlesselman, 89, and his wife, Ruth, 86, had come to the marina Sunday afternoon to watch the boats.
Joseph Schlesselman began to park in a handicapped space, but hit the gas instead of the brake, authorities said. Their car jumped the seawall and landed in an empty boat slip, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said.
That triggered a dramatic rescue by Douthit, 32, of Dunedin, Joseph Sentelik, 48, of Land O'Lakes and Eric Corum, 42, of Tarpon Springs.
"Definitely true heroes," said Dunedin Fire Rescue Division Chief Bill McElligott.
Nancy Williams, a manager at the Bon Appetit restaurant across the street, saw the car being parked as she went to a storage room. She heard a scrape and looked again to see the car accelerating over concrete parking blocks. The car teetered on the seawall a moment. Then it gunned into the water.
She said she ran inside, yelling to co-workers to call 911.
As the rescuers tried to get in the car, she ran outside and saw the couple.
"They were trying to keep their mouths open above the water," she said.
Finally, Douthit smashed the rear window with an extinguisher from his boat. Sentelik peeled the shattered glass away with his hands. The rescuers managed to push the seat belt button and pull the couple out.
The husband appeared to have scraped his head and left behind a prosthetic leg, Douthit said.
"I'm an electrician. I see a lot of stuff that could lead to people's deaths, but not that close," he said.
The Sheriff's Office said the couple received minor injuries. A woman who answered the couple's phone declined comment.
Sentelik was cut from the glass and taken to an emergency room for treatment.
Douthit ended his day with his wife, Meredith, and son, Gabriel, 2, the way he had intended.

NFL fantasy football: Rob Gronkowski out 4-6 weeks
NFL.com Staff | Tags: New England Patriots, Rob Gronkowski
It appears that New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is gone for the foreseeable future. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the dynamic pass catcher has a broken forearm that will keep him sidelined for 4 to 6 weeks.
That hurts an already thin tight end spot for New England with Aaron Hernandez having missed the last several weeks (including Sunday's win over Indianapolis) with an ankle injury. Next on the depth chart are Daniel Fells and Michael Hoomanawanui, although in similar tight spot earlier this season, the Patriots added Kellen Winslow, Jr. … then released him a week later.
If Hernandez is ready to go, he will be the obvious tight end target for Tom Brady. That would be good news with the Patriots visiting the Jets in Week 12. Gang Green is allowing nearly 10 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends at home. In the event Hernandez once again won't play, it's hard to recommend any of New England's other options at the position.

I know this pales in comparison to you but I was trying to give an objective opinion on a route that I thought was squeezed and lacked the continuity of "Pork Fist" or the great bolting on "Stinkfinger" (thanks for the name) or the fun nature of Lumina. It's funny you didn't mention that you agreed with my comments on any of these routes. If you would like to take the time to read all of my comments on Shelf you would see that the VAST majority of my reviews are positive but if I get on a route and I don't like it for whatever reason aren't the user's of this site entitled to an opinion that is different than yours?

|I am new to this internet deal.At first I thought this websight was pretty cool ,but the more I read on this sight the more I do not like it.This is because of people like you that write in negative comments.If you do not like the route keep it to yourself . I like your positive comments .And you are right most of your comments are positive but it is the negative ones that are useless.I also feel that if you are going to criticize you should do so with your real identity and not rely on the internet to give you courage enough to write your opinions. So lets all write in the good comments and keep the bad ones to ourselves.

Dear MR. BOHN,
I just read your newest on Slabbeth, thanks for letting us know who you really are. You might not care but this gives me more respect for you and your opinions. By the way I read almost all of your comments.Thanks for all the positive information.

|My name is David E. Bohn ! I have been climbing since '69 so I guess that would qualify me as an "Od Fart" but I wasn't in the least bit crusty until the last few days!!! Every guide book on the market now uses a "Star" system to denote "Quality" from no stars to 3,4,or 5 and the Yosemite Decimal System to denote difficulty,(do they have "Sport Routes" up El Cap?). Who decides what the quality or difficulty of a route is, as if this is even definable. How can "Lost Planet Airmen" jump from a 10d to an 11c over the last 3 guide books or "Minimum Security' drop from a 12a to an 11c ? Why does Mike have a star system in this guide? Every guide book writer who attempts to quantify a route is passing on their own judgment. So what makes their opinion more relevent then anyone else's especially when they're rating their own climbs!! Can't they handle a differing opinion? In the past, the LAST PLACE I'd look for route information was a guide book; the FIRST PLACE I'd try was to ask everybody I'd known who'd done the route what they'd actually thought! That's all I'm doing here. Let's get to the facts; did I call this a bad route? NO!! I just said there are better routes in the next 50' to choose from "IN MY OPINION". On my personal scale this route would rate 1-1/2 stars. I would give "Enchanted Porkfist" as many stars as possible. The much neglected "Muted by Reality" would get 1/2 star less and "Lumina" and "Stinkfinger" would be one star less. That's my opinion. Hell, I think "Suburbia" is one of the worst routes at Shelf! Kinda like difficulty ratings, depends on the individual. It might be different then a "guide-books" but it's still relevent. Thats why people come here, to get an "HONEST" review. My opinions might be totally off-based but I have no problem with that. My problem is with all those people who can't tolerate an honest discussion and are incapable of hearing an alternate view. I used to set routes at the local gym for over a year for FREE! just for the love of it. Did I ever tell anyone that their opinion on one of my routes wasn't valid because I set it and I liked it and that's the way it is? No, I sucked it up and listened to what EVERYBODY said and went about my life without calling them less then a person just because they didn't like my route and next week I tried even harder to set a route that everybody would like...and again and again. If you are old enough to have Roper's Yosemite guide from 1971 (mines right here all dog-eared) my favorite quote about climbing of all time is on page 210, by Allen Steck: "We do not deceive ourselves that we are engaged in an activity that is anything but debilitating,dangerous,euphoric,kinesthetic,expensive,frivolously essential,economically useless and totally without redeeming social significance. One should not probe for deeper meanings." Why can't modern climbers feel the same way! David E. Bohn aka "Old Fart" and feeling older all the time :_)

My name is Vant, Bon V. Vant. I am in the midst of writing the authoritative diatribe on all things climbing. My current voluminous chapter shall delve into the recondite topic of ratings. I humbly accept your questions and inquiries and, through divine intervention, shall provide the last word on such topics as difficulty ratings, star ratings and movie ratings.
While my minutia-plagued exhaustive, and exhausting, tome may cause some to nod, I implore all to persevere. Like the calm before the storm, torpor precedes enlightenment as I unleash my dogma. Before long my infinite wisdom will be yours_blah- blah- blah ad nauseum!

|And now a comment about the route... pretty easy climbing for the first few bolts, but then the route steepens and the holds thin out above. Quite balancy, but still didn't feel harder than mid-5.10 to me, especially after just climbing Enchanted Porkfist. Fun route.

|Anyone know what the crack to the left of Porkus is rated?? Climbed it today and it is stellar! My guess would be 5.8, but it could be easier. Fun little trad route if you are burned out on sport or looking for some variety.

|An enjoyable route! Felt like 10 b/c to me, and the others in our party.
By Jeff Welch
From: Denver, CO

rating: 5.10c/d 6b+ 21 VII+ 21 E3 5b
As of 8/24, there were two Trango wiregate biners hanging on the anchors of this climb. Another party that climbed the route after us may have removed them.
As an FYI to future climbers, the anchors on this route are Metolius Rap Hangers. They look like this:
They are essentially oversized bolt hangers, with a large radius on the bottom so that the rope can run directly through the hanger.
Unlike a normal bolt hanger, which has sharp edges, it is perfectly safe and acceptable to run your rope directly through a Metolius Rap Hanger. There is no need to add biners or any other fixed gear to the anchors of this climb, although this is a common mistake.
As for the difficulty, I think there's several 10c moves, with perhaps one 10d move past the last bolt, if you put your blinders on and don't traverse to the flake out left. The climbing is more enjoyable if you do it that way, too.

wikiHow to Beat Plants vs. Zombies 2
Two Parts:Getting to Know the GameStrategizing for a Better Game PlayCommunity Q&A
Plants vs. Zombies 2 is a free-to-play defense-type game developed by Electronic Arts for mobile gaming. Unlike its first version, Plant vs. Zombies 2 packs more maps, features, new plants, and definitely more zombies. With all these upgrades comes a more challenging game play and storyline. Fans of the franchise will find it significantly harder to complete compared to its predecessor, but with enough patience and a few simple strategies, you can surely beat Plants vs. Zombies 2 in no time.
Part 1
Getting to Know the Game
1Know the mechanics of the game. The play rules are still the same like the first version, with only a few added twists. Fans won't have any trouble adapting, but first-time players need to go through the tutorial mode first to get to know the game better while the enemies are still easy to beat.
2Study how zombies appear on a map. Zombies appear on a map in a pattern. If you're having trouble clearing a stage, observe how zombies appear on a map. Knowing the pattern means you'll be able to deploy the right plants on the right spots and at the perfect time.
3Complete every level. It's necessary to complete every mission to beat the game. Some players tend to exit the map once they get its rewards—Do NOT do this. Battle through the entire game time of the map and acquire the stars as much as you can.
Part 2
Strategizing for a Better Game Play
1Plant as many Sunflower as you can. Sunflower plants give off sunlight, which you need to buy other plants. Plant as many Sunflower as the map allows to quickly raise your sunlight and buy heavy-hitter plants like Repeaters.
- On the other hand, don't plant too much Sunflower that there's no more room for other plants.
2Pick plants that do the most damage. If your sunlight is limited, buy plants that do the most damage.
- Snapdragons can cover three lanes when they attack and costs only 150 suns.
3Use explosives with proper timing. Jalapenos and Cherry Bombs do major damage and can take down several zombies at once—but only when used at the right moment. Time it perfectly, and deploy these angry plants on congested spots to clear out massive hordes instantly.
4Use plant food wisely. Plant food will give your plants special powers.
- Potato Mines will instantly deploy and Coconut Cannons will reload immediately once you put plant food on them. When these plants are about to be eaten by zombies, place plant food on them to save them and have them fight back right away.
5Take advantage of Power-Ups. Power-Ups are a new addition to the Plant vs. Zombies game play that will let you wipe out massive numbers of zombies in an instant. These are perfect for getting through tight spots. Take advantage of these items whenever you get your hands on it, but only use it when absolutely needed.
- Power-Ups, however, aren't cheap and can only be bought using coins.
6Use plants that can attack both air and ground zombies. You should already know by now that zombies don't just walk, they fly too. When zombies carried by balloons or birds show up, plants that can only attack horizontally will just be sitting ducks. To avoid getting caught unexpectedly by these zombies, place plants that can attack both air and ground units.
- Cabbage and Kernel Pult plants work best in fending off zombies flying above head.
7Don't forget to have fun. When it all comes down to the basics, Plant vs. Zombies 2 is still a video game meant to be played and enjoyed. So have fun playing the game. Beating the game won't be as rewarding if you're not having a great time.
Community Q&A
I can't get past a level. What will help me and how?Grind for diamonds to get new plants as well as coins for power-ups.
Now that PvZ 2 is ten times harder (because of Big Wave Beach), will these rules still apply for some of the simpler worlds?Yes, These apply for all worlds of the Plants vs Zombies 2.

JERUSALEM (Feb. 13)
A leading Israeli pollster was under police protection Monday after a fire was set at the front door of her Tel Aviv apartment Sunday night.
An anonymous telephone caller to the newspaper Yediot Achronot credited an obscure group calling itself "Sicarii" with the arson.
The pollster, Dr. Nina Zemach, is a director of the Dahaf Co., one of the largest polling organizations in Israel.
Its latest survey, published last week, found that 53 percent of Israelis would favor negotiations with the Palestine Liberation Organization.
The anonymous caller said his group would take much sterner measures against others "who raise the PLO's prestige and lower the morale of Israelis."
He launched into a long diatribe about the historic role of Sicarii — dagger-men of the Second Temple — in the revolt against Rome 2,000 years ago, the Yediot Achronot reporter said.
The damage to Zemach's premises was minor.

3 Tips on Podcasting with Valerie Geller #1
Valerie Geller is a broadcasting consultant and author of four books including the recently published Beyond Powerful Radio. An expert in her field, she creates models and gives excellent guidance to broadcasters using the radio medium. We recently spoke to the lovely Valerie about podcasting, and she gave some great pointers for new podcasters. We'll be sharing them through the new few days, and you can start reading the first batch of advice below:
Niche podcasting: Podcasting is great in the narrowcasting market. Narrowcasting you say? Yes, instead of broadcasting, narrowcasting allows for shows about specialized interests. Podcasting allows you to be much more focused on specific topics and themes, and gain listeners that are looking for just that.
Be a storyteller: Speak visually and paint pictures in order to tell the story. Take into consideration how the information you want to spread will affect the listener, and how you would tell this to a friend.
Engage the audience: Tell the truth and never be boring. Ask yourself: how would you interest someone in something they weren't interested in before? It's all about communicating on a human level. Being passionate will pull at anyone's heartstrings, whether or not you have a "golden voice," so make sure you're actually interested in what you're talking about. You don't necessarily need to be a natural born talent as long as you apply a technique and model to your programming.
For more information check out Valerie's book Beyond Powerful Radio, and stay tuned for more tips throughout the week!

Mr Barth Okoyo-Aniche is a candidate for the position of General Secretary in the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, national election staled for July 15 in Abuja. Okoyo has held the positions of third Vice President, Publicity Secretary and Welfare Secretary in the association.
In his interview, he reaffirms that he remains the best candidate for the position of General Secretary of the association, noting that he posses all the requisite and necessary qualification and competence for serve the association in that capacity and urged delegates to cast their votes for him at the forthcoming election.
The office of General Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, which you seek to occupy in the forthcoming election of the association comes with enormous responsibilities. What edge would you say you have above your other contenders seeking the same office? Why do think you are the best man for the job?
I have an edge ever the other contestant for the office of the General Secretary of the NBA having served the association in three different offices as the Publicity Secretary, Welfare Secretary and Third Vice President, I have garnered enough experience for the job.
Not just experience because some others may have same, but mine is experience earned from hard work, built on good and right relationships with colleagues, in taking up responsibilities and in showing good character.
For instance, it was during my time as the Welfare Secretary NBA under Olisa Agbakoba SAN, that the issue of giving accommodation to statutory National Executive Council, NEC members was introduced. It was not in doubt that that issue was left for me and I discharged that responsibility with passion towards service to the NBA.
Also, I chaired the Council of Legal Education Committee on getting approval for the commencement of Law School Yenegoa Campus. This duty I also discharged and was recommended by the Council. I have been tested and proved effective and that gives me the edge over the other contestants.
Running a national secretariat like that of the NBA will necessarily require that the occupier of the office of General Secretary has to have a certain appreciable level of computer literacy. To what extent are you Information Technology, IT compliant?
I am IT complaint and properly equipped to do the work of General Secretary of the NBA. The truth of the matter is that in computer, it is what you key in that you get. If you cannot make good sentences, being computer literate will fail you. Much more than being IT compliant, NBA needs a General Secretary that knows his onion in choice and usage of words.
Previous administrations had witnessed a frosty relationship between the President and the General Secretary, which consequently impact negatively on the smooth running of the association. How do you intend to handle the relationship between you and the president, if elected?
I will ensure a cordial relationship with the President in all dealings by sticking to my constitutional duties as the G.S. I will also maintain cordial relationship with other elected officers and the staff/members of the NBA secretariat, having the interest of the generality of the members at heart.
There has been the argument that while the principle of adoption of candidates for NBA elections may be desirable, it may have outlived its usefulness. Also, that adoption should only apply to the office of president and not for other offices. Do you share this opinion?
It does appear that adoption by different fora is the order of the day, but the truth is that it does not really matter in winning NBA elections. For instance, we have had cases in Eastern Bar Forum in 2008 and 2010, where they adopted candidates for the office of General Secretary and Publicity Secretary, but during the voting they were abandoned and got defeated at the elections.
The same had happened to Arewa Lawyers Forum and Egbe Amofin (Western Lawyers Forum). It is my view that what win elections at the NBA is hard work, right relationships built over time, ability to take up responsibilities and a show of strength of character.
I make bold to say that even at the President's level, if a candidate is devoid of all the above stated qualities, the chances of success is slim, it does not matter whether he was adopted or not.
Faith without good work is dead, accordingly, adoption by any forum without the requisites characteristics of a candidate will not make the candidate win an election unless the candidate is simply lucky. Having said the above, I urge all the delegates to cast their votes for me for the post of General Secretary in the forth coming NBA election.

Jaguar's C-X75 concept car, designed to celebrate the marque's 75th anniversary and unveiled today at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, is nothing if not a striking design.
And its technology is equally as stunning: it's an extended-range electric car with 68 miles of range on a lithium-ion battery pack.
Housed under the deck behind the passengers are a pair of 70-kilowatt gas microturbines that turn generators to provide current to the four 145-kW electric drive motors that power all four wheels once the battery is depleted.
Even more remarkable, the turbines can also power the electric drive motors directly at high speeds, in what Jaguar calls "Track" mode, for a top speed of 205 mph.
There's full coverage of the car and its technology elsewhere. This photo gallery is simply to let you enjoy the looks of the car, both inside and out._______________________________________

- Milliemom,
Read Michael Mojer's descriptive response, it describes the situation more accurately.
Ownership there was not absolute or 'fee simple' as we experience it. Ownership was a shared set of rights often including nobility or other authority. Ownership rights were usually passsed in a family but not always to an elder son. He might marry and leave to live in a new home or home of the wife's family. Unmarried siblings, or even married ones would not be put out of a family home. No village wanted to live with homeless people they would have to care for.

A Philippines where globally-significant biodiversity is properly protected and harnessed to sustain life for all and where species, habitats and resources form part of a unique heritage that every Filipino is proud of. WWF champions conservation in areas where biodiversity matters the most.
WWF-Philippines' mission is to stop, and eventually reverse the accelerating degradation of the Philippine environment – to build a future where Filipinos live in harmony with nature.
Though WWF is easily recognized for its black and white Panda logo, there is a lot more to its work than just saving endangered species, prompting the organization to change its name from the World Wildlife Fund (which was retained by WWF-US and WWF-Canada) to the World Wide Fund for Nature in 1986.
WWF now operates in around 100 countries, supported by nearly five million people worldwide. Its initials and famous Panda logo have become a powerful rallying point for people who care about the future of the planet and want to help shape it in a positive way. Initially, WWF's work consisted of protecting animals and plants threatened with extinction – not just because they are beautiful and rare, but because they are part of a complex chain in which the disappearance of even a single species can have far-reaching consequences.
Since then, the scope of the work has broadened. Today, the organization also tackles the many forms of pollution which are destroying the atmosphere, forests, freshwater habitats and oceans – all of which sustain human life. It also looks for new and sustainable ways of using the planet's natural resources. WWF is taking action to protect the environment for both people and nature. If you want to know more about WWF, visit the WWF International website at panda.org.
WWF's involvement in the Philippines dates back to 1969, when it funded efforts to protect the Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi). This small beginning grew into a fully-fledged programme when in 1988, the Philippines became the first Asian country to benefit from an innovative scheme called the Debt for Nature Swap. The Debt for Nature Swap involves the cancellation of a portion of the Philippines' debt with a country in exchange for funding high-priority conservation projects. In 1991, WWF facilitated the completion of a US$25 million debt swap for the Philippines funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
In the same year, the WWF-Philippines Programme was established in Manila to supervise numerous field activities and to work more closely with local partners.
Realizing the need for a home-grown group that would serve as WWF's partner in the Philippines, prominent businessmen established an associate organization, locally known as Kabang Kalikasan ng Pilipinas (Fund for Nature of the Philippines) or KKP.
In October 1996, during the WWF annual conference in Germany, KKP became an associate member of the global organization. The following year, KKP was transformed into WWF-Philippines and became the 26th national organization of the WWF network. To be redirected to the home page, visit wwf.org.ph.

Coloratura is all those fancy flashy high bits in operas by Rossini, Donizetti and the like.
For example:
To sing these highly ornamented passages singers – like Flórez or Joyce DiDonato – have to have a rock-solid technique. We asked Flórez how to sing them.
The problem is, though, that it comes naturally to him.

Those high note…
TL; DR version: how do you sing coloratura? You just sing coloratura.
JDF is famous for singing vertiginously high notes – like the high Cs in this aria from Donizetti's La Fille du Régiment.
