4-H and Noyce Foundation Release Report on 4-H Science Initiative
CHEVY CHASE, Md., March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- 4-H and the Noyce Foundation recently hosted an out-of-school time (OST) Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Executive Roundtable. The ground-breaking meeting brought together senior leaders and youth representatives from 4-H, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Girls Inc., Girl Scouts of the USA, and YMCA of the USA, along with CEOs, government officials, and corporate and research partners.
"It's a dream come true to see these groups come together in such a collaborative spirit to think about the future of our kids," said Ron Ottinger, executive director, Noyce Foundation. "This is the launch of a common effort that we all believe will give the youth we serve access to STEM learning that they would not have without this joint effort."
"To think about the power of our brands and what we can do together is new and exciting. At the same time, we must always remember to put youth at the center of our efforts," said Jennifer Sirangelo, National 4-H Council Chief Operating Officer.
The purpose of the two-day event on February 6-7 was to focus on STEM learning and youth development, which served as a launching point for a national collaborative and partnership effort. The meeting was the first of its kind as six of the largest youth development organizations in the country, representing 20 million children and teens, convened to discuss what each is doing in STEM learning in their respective organizations, share experiences, and begin discussions on ways they can create a common agenda and mission to make science learning and careers a priority for all six together.
"The 4-H STEM Executive Roundtable was an incredible opportunity for youth development experts and corporate and foundation partners to create real strategies to unleash the potential of all youth in STEM and particularly those underrepresented in this area, including girls and people of color," said Judy Vredenburgh, president and CEO, Girls Inc. "I am excited to move these partnerships forward so more youth have access to positive spaces to discover, problem solve, and gain critical exposure to STEM and related career role models."
"Girl Scouts offers STEM programs-on topics ranging from website design to robotics to environmental science-for girls from kindergarten through twelfth grade," said Suzanne Harper, senior director, Program Resources, Girl Scouts of the USA. "Because we are a leadership development organization, girls not only learn about STEM, but explore how STEM professionals can help people and change the world. The STEM Executive Roundtable offered inspiration and energy as the participants shared their missions and explored how we can all work more collaboratively to help more young people get involved in STEM."
The meeting was also an opportunity for the organizations to learn from the 4-H science initiative whereas National 4-H Council together with 4-H National Headquarters at USDA and the Cooperative Extension System released the 4-H Science Initiative from Inception to Impact. Dr. Beth Birnstihl, national director, 4-H Mission to Market, National 4-H Council, and predecessor Dr. Eddie Locklear led teams of 4-H professionals in developing the comprehensive report and presented its findings.
As a major funder of the 4-H initiative, the Noyce Foundation urged 4-H to share the report more broadly with others, including several of the largest youth development organizations in the United States. The report, which outlines methodologies, lessons learned, promising practices and recommendations, is the result of a seven-year 4-H initiative which was built and implemented in response to the shortage of U.S. leadership in STEM fields and the need for quality, impactful OST programs. The goal of the 4-H initiative was to engage one million new youth in 4-H science programs by 2013. Last fall, 4-H reached its goal ahead of schedule-adding to the youth that are already engaged in five million science projects. To download the report, visit www.4-H.org/youthstem.
"Boys & Girls Clubs of America is supporting vitally important STEM education in our clubs through a mix of programs that include hands-on tech workshops for girls and innovative digital literacy activities to make developing these skills fun and appealing. We are also forging relationships with premier organizations to continue offering our youth the latest in this ever-evolving field," said Kimberly Boyd, vice president, Programs and Youth Development Services, Boys & Girls Clubs of America. "BGCA looks forward to continuing this exciting collaborative effort with other youth development organizations, because we believe that working together is an important key to achieving measurable national impact and enabling success for all of America's kids."
At the meeting, there was a high level of support for finding ways to partner at the national level on common goals and programs, including impact metrics. As a next step, the youth development organization leaders agreed to seek a commitment from their respective CEOs to explore collaborative efforts.
"It is exciting to look at the ways we can incorporate STEM education and career preparation into the one-to-one professionally supported mentoring relationships that Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies bring to youth around the country," said T. Charles Pierson, president and CEO, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. "The combined efforts of our organizations will make the kind of impact we need to prepare youth for 21st century jobs."
"The Y has a rich heritage of offering STEM as part of our academic enrichment and camp programming," said Jorge Perez, vice president, Youth Development, Family Enrichment and Social Responsibility, YMCA of the USA. "We are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with other youth serving organizations who share our commitment to improving educational outcomes and nurturing the potential of every child."
"I was incredibly thankful to all of the leaders and mentors for having the youth ambassadors at such an honorable meeting," said Michael Scott, Mercer County 4-H Science and Technology Ambassador, Mercer County, New Jersey. "Embracing our thoughts and opinions on such critical subjects definitely spoke wonders about the leaders and their character; it certainly meant a lot to me and the other ambassadors."

About the Noyce Foundation
The Noyce Foundation is interested in significantly increasing the number of youth in the United States who pursue professions in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). It believes that providing large numbers of young people with out-of-school, engaging, quality, hands-on science, engineering, and technology experiences will enhance general STEM knowledge and stimulate a larger percentage to pursue STEM careers. The Foundation's goal is to support the informal science community in developmental initiatives that address gaps that exist in outcomes measurement, research and evaluation, program scale up, leadership development, and policy issues.

"Instagram, being one example that photographers and Facebookers alike will certainly miss. "
So Nokia goes to great pains to create the highest quality mobile phone camera ever seen, and then the major complaint is you cannot install an app for degrading the pictures...
Pureview on Microsoft phones.... don't hold your breath it is NOT the same!
They've done the typical thing. Produced an amazing camera on an OS which is able to support such massive changes to the entire way the camera and the graphics functions. They have given this a name and then applied that same name to an OS which can NOT do the same in the hope of conning some people into spending money on a 'new' camera phone in the expectation it is as good as this 'old' camera phone.
It won't be, because it can't be. Maybe by the end of next year some of the magic can have been transferred but don't hold your breath.
As to the battery life comment, the battery life on the 808 - and indeed ALL symbian based phones runs rings around all the other smart phone contenders. The OS was designed from the very start (back in the '80's) to run on batteries - it is basically an evolution of the Epoc32 system that ran in the Psion series 5 hand held computers. Android and iOS are loosely based on linux which is a desk top system, winpho is sat on top of wince which is another cut down desk top. You will NEVER get the battery life out of these other devices that you will out of Symbian.
I would LOVE a copy of this whole article though - I worked on the device :) (not that you would guess I might be biased - but truly nothing else even comes close).
Sounds like Nokia could do well to ditch the phone components and repackage it as toughened, waterproof 'action sports' compact, possibly retaining the satnav optimised for mountains. It's got to be easier to make this design of camera shockproof than it is a camera with moving lens parts.

She's got Acne
T-shirt sleeve, T-shirt sleeve, T-SHIRT SLEEVE! Is the most flattering style top for me and when I saw this blouse at Acne I knew it was mine! Knowing what style, shapes, fit and colour clothing suits you makes it so easy when shopping and I always have my eye out for anything with a capped or t-shirt sleeve, be it a dress or top.
Anyways on a more fun note it is the Logies on Sunday and those of you that stalk me on twitter (and those that don't I suggest you do ) would have seen the tweets about prepping for the event. I am dressing Jordy Lucas and Ashleigh Brewer again, Ash won best dressed by the Herald Sun last year in her Pamela Usanto dress so we are out to top that dress this year and Jordy will be dressed by Craig Braybrook from Project Runway. Both girls from the TV soap Neighbours and I am lucky enough to dress one more Neighbours starlet- Gemma Pranita who will wear Cristina Tridente an amazing emerging designer who I met through my blog actually- she won the Mimco comp and I noticed in her email that she was a designer.
Be sure to stay tuned and I will tell you all about the night and show pics of my clients.

I seem to remember that picture was used in the promo for the release of 'Rock and Roll Music to the World' in 72.
Brian, if you tell me you actually saw it on the front page of alvinlee.com and that's why you're asking, I would like to tell you that I love you. You are apparently the only one who ever looks! Great, great cover and I bought the CD just to have it too.
Toni:I look quite often, as recently as a couple of weeks.Looking to find a site to pre order the cd.Its just that there hasn't been much new info since the ribfest post,that we sometimes pass over things on our way to the board.I thank you for your work and the site!And am looking forward to the update!!!Thanks again pw
I did Toni but I would lie to you just to hear you say you love me. Of course we all love you for what you do !
Nearly correct Alan, nearly. That photo was used (many times) as a 'teaser' advertising campaign in 1973, for 'Recorded Live'. Reg says 'teaser campaign', as the advert was just that photo, with no other info apart from just the words 'Watch it!'. It was only nearer the date of the release that more info about what was being advertised also appeared. And in a controversial note Reg could point out that, ironically, if you really did want 'The Best of Alvin Lee' it is 'Recorded Live' that you should be buying. But he won't.
And we will be boarding the bus tomorrow. Reg has completed the seating plan.
The best of Alvin Lee is typically his latest release, IMHO. The youtube clips from the recent Raalte consert sort of proves my point there, because I've never heard him play and sing better before. I'm already sure "Still on the road to freedom" will be the best of them all. Rolling up for the hystery tour..
Your "Recorded Live" suggestion isn't all that controversial, Reg - at least in my not very humble at all opinion. Add another disc with some of the newer stuff and there you have it! By the way, Reg I hope you aren't putting me' at the back of the bus . . .
No. Don't worry. The entire back seat is reserved for Pieter.
Now Reg, that's not your way of saying that TYA was Alvin Lee, is it?
Thanks Brian!
No. It's a belief that that was when they were all at their best. (Certainly live, anyway.) Seasoned, without being stale. Mature performers, although still with the energy of young men still in their twenties. Masters of their craft. At their performing peak. Etc.
If we're discussing TYA, I agree with you, Reg.
Thanks, Reg! Ever since the whole Rosa Parks thing, I've had an aversion to the back of the bus . . .

CALGARY, Alberta -- It was billed as 'Retro Night' at the Scotiabank Saddledome, so it wouldn't have seemed right if a shootout was required.
And although Saturday night's Northwest Division battle will not be confused with a run-and-gun game from yesteryear, Calgary center Matt Stajan ensured extra time wasn't necessary in a 3-1 victory over the visiting Minnesota Wild.
Stajan scored the winner on a wild scramble at 7:19 of the third period, poking a rebound across the goal line after Chris Butler's blast from the point. Flames captain Jarome Iginla was standing his ground in front of Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom on the play and was credited with an assist.
The ugly goal was a fitting end to a game not necessarily easy on the eyes. Stajan added an empty-netter with eight seconds remaining.
With a ton of icing stoppages and few good scoring chances for either side, it was what fans have come to expect when the Flames (6-7-3) and Wild (8-6-2) meet.
The difference was Flames goalie Joey MacDonald, who posted his first win at the Saddledome by kicking aside 30 shots. Backstrom made 24 saves for the Wild.
The Flames opened the scoring on a retro-type play.
Wild right winger Dany Heatley, who was raised in Calgary, botched a pass to captain Mikko Koivu on a two-on-one rush and Flames defenseman Jay Bouwmeester grabbed the loose puck and fired a perfect breakaway pass to Alex Tanguay.
Although Calgary's leading point-producer hadn't scored in seven games, Tanguay showed soft hands on his all-alone opportunity, making a tricky deke around Backstrom and roofing a shot.
The Wild tied it on Charlie Coyle's first NHL goal, a redirection of Pierre-March Bouchard's pass at 8:56 of the first period.

JACKSONVILLE Fla.-- Medical examiners confirmed that remains discovered by detectives Wednesday in the woods off of Braddock Rd are human.
Police remain tight lipped about the investigation as they try to identify the body. Detectives won't reveal if the body found was that of a male, female or provide an age.
Greg Vinson hunts in the acres of woods that line Braddock Road. He says he's seen all sorts of strange things back there, but he's horrified to learn that the remains police found belong to a person.
"There's bones all up and down the road but you find human remains out here by private property it kind of puts a dent in stuff," he said.
Detectives were drawn to the area by a tip in a missing person case. They're hoping the bones discovered hold the key to their investigation.
And as eerie as the discovery has been for neighbors and hunters like Vinson, they too are hoping it brings peace for a family who has been missing a loved one.
"I'm glad they found whoever it was and that it gives closure to the family," said Vinson.

More than a quarter-of-a-million homes and businesses and Maryland remain without power following Friday's storms.
Governor Martin O'Malley notes that power has been restored to about 75-percent of those who lost it. He says 271,615 people remain without power, down from more than 1 million who initially lost it.
BGE reports more than 148,000 customers remain without power as of 4:45 p.m.
CLICK HERE to view outage information from BGE.
Since Sunday, utility workers from out of state have been in the area helping to restore power.
That number has grown to about 1,000 for BGE and a total of 2,000 statewide.
This morning, a crew from PECO Energy from suburban Philadelphia was along Charles Avenue in Eastern Baltimore County, just over the city line.
A number of residents along the street watched the crew remove a tree that had knocked over a utility pole that knocked out power to five houses on the block.
"I can't go that much longer without power and lights and air conditioning ," 13-year-old James Nicholson told WBAL news as he watched the crew do its work.
A portable generator has been providing power to the refrigerator and freezer in his home, but there have been no lights and no air conditioning.
One member of the crew that had been in the area since Sunday night says the problem he sees on this street have been typical of the damage he has seen in Maryland.
"For me this is probably as bad as the hurricane that came through last year in the Philadelphia area, a lot of trees down, a lot of wires down, and a lot of poles down," PECO Energy supervisor Mark Hackney told WBAL News.
The out of state workers come from as far north as Quebec and as far south as Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
One worker from the area of the country ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 said the help from out of state crews is vital.
"You gotta have it. We had 12,000 (out of state workers) in Mississippi during Katrina in '05. Our whole system was out, and in 12 days we got it back on," said Harry Waldrup a Mississippi Power worker from Ellis, Mississippi.
Waldrup told WBAL News that he was glad to come to Maryland to help out.
The workers were using BWI-Marshall Airport as a staging area. They are expected to be here for about a week.
Family Lives In Basement While Wires Remain On Roof & Poll Crushes Car
Five days after the thunderstorms part of a utility pole sits on top of a car in the driveway of Sara Don's Pikesville home, and wires remain on the roof of her house.
"I've called BGE, the fire department and police. We have had many tourists taking pictures of the site, and it's still here," Don told WBAL News today.
Don, who spoke about the problem this morning on the C-4 Show, said she heard from a BGE official after her call to the talk show.
Don says a BGE manager told her that her home has been placed on a priority list, but they have not told her when the poll and wires will be removed, and when her home might get electricity again.
Don, her husband and three children have been living in the basement of their home on Smith Avenue.
"It's been a little bit like camping," Don added, but she says she wants the "camping trip" to end.
Death Toll Climbs From Storm
Maryland Emergency Management Agency officials say the death toll from the storm has climbed to 8.
Officials say the latest death occurred Monday morning in Garrett County.
A contractor was cutting down a storm damaged tree near Oakland when he fell 40 feet.
He later died of his injuries.
Baltimore County Cooling Update
Baltimore County officials say public library branches will remain open until 9 p.m. for those without power to use as a cooling center, and a place to charge cell phones and other electronic devices.
Officials say the libraries and senior centers which have been used as cooling centers will be closed Wednesday for the 4th of July Holiday.
County officials say anyone who may need a cool place to go tomorrow should call 410-887-2222.

A new report by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) confirms that the intense UK summer floods in 2007 were not due to climate change but were a 'singular event'. "The summer 2007 floods in England and Wales – a hydrological appraisal" systematically analyses the factors which led to the 2007 floods, an event on an unprecedented scale which cost the UK economy £3 billion.
Rainfall amounts and intensities overwhelmed urban drainage systems, with a dramatic increase in levels of run-off, due to rain falling on already saturated soil. Long-term rainfall and flow records do not however reveal any clear trend towards an increase in flooding magnitude in the UK, but instead mark this out as a singularity.
The floods of 2007 do reveal the UK's vulnerability to climatic events; vulnerability which has increased markedly due to development on flood plains.

my problem is that I cannot install a module. Firstly I thought it is a specific module which I cannot install so I posted in network forum first, but it seems its a general problem.
This was the original thread:
I had kernel 3.5.0, then I updated to 3.6.0 using kernel-switcher to test if the internal wlan module was working better, but it didn't. Then I tried to downgrade the kernel to 3.3.0, because the 3.3.0 is the only directory which got files in /usr/src/linux-3.3.0-sabayon/. the directories /usr/src/linux-3.5.0-sabayon/ and /usr/src/linux-3.6.0-sabayon/ are rather small, only like 4MB and 3.3.0 got 400+MB. For me as a beginner it seemed logical to downgrade to see if it can install the module to the 3.3.0 kernel since it gor the usr/src/linux-3.3.0-sabayon files.
I tried the following commands:
- Code: Select all
# eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-3.3.0-sabayon *
[2] linux-3.5.0-sabayon
[3] linux-3.6.0-sabayon
[4] linux-3.6.2-gentoo
- Code: Select all
# uname -r
So it seems I did not switch the kernel back to 3.3.0 even though # eselect kernel list shows me a * at 3.3.0.
When I do 'make' at the module it gives me:
- Code: Select all
# make
make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/3.6.0-sabayon/build M=/home/ebo/Downloads/RTL modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-3.6.0-sabayon'
Makefile:323: /usr/src/linux-3.6.0-sabayon/scripts/Kbuild.include: No such file or directory
Makefile:564: /usr/src/linux-3.6.0-sabayon/arch/x86/Makefile: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: /usr/src/linux-3.6.0-sabayon/scripts/gcc-goto.sh: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-3.6.0-sabayon/arch/x86/Makefile'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-3.6.0-sabayon'
make: *** [modules] Error 2
and 'make install' gives me:
- Code: Select all
# make install
install -p -m 644 8192cu.ko /lib/modules/3.6.0-sabayon/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
install: cannot stat '8192cu.ko': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
So I see it still tries to copy to 3.6.0. before I updated to 3.6.0 it tried to copy to 3.5.0 (the active kernel that time)
When I use the following commands:
- Code: Select all
# equery belongs /usr/src/linux-3.3.0-sabayon/scripts/Kbuild.include
* Searching for /usr/src/linux-3.3.0-sabayon/scripts/Kbuild.include ...
sys-kernel/sabayon-sources-3.3-r4 (/usr/src/linux-3.3.0-sabayon/scripts/Kbuild.include)
# equery belongs /usr/src/linux-3.5.0-sabayon/scripts/Kbuild.include
* Searching for /usr/src/linux-3.5.0-sabayon/scripts/Kbuild.include ...
# equery belongs /usr/src/linux-3.6.0-sabayon/scripts/Kbuild.include
* Searching for /usr/src/linux-3.6.0-sabayon/scripts/Kbuild.include ...
Only the 3.3.0 can find something.
And I do not understand why the directory /usr/src/linux-3.6.0-sabayon/ got no files which in my opinion should be there. It got a makefile and a few other small files only.
So as a summation I think th eproblem is that the module tries to install to /usr/src/linux-3.6.0-sabayon/, where it cannot find the destination directories. It could find them only in /usr/src/linux-3.3.0-sabayon/.
Thank you.

Disappearing colonies? What happened? Help!
Posted 17 December 2012 - 10:52 AM

If the DNA is from a midi or mini style prep, then you may want to check the integrity of the DNA before transforming, too many freeze/thaw cycles and the DNA will be degraded significantly.
Posted 17 December 2012 - 02:20 PM
the 5% recommendation - is that by volume or by mass of DNA to mass of cells or number of molecules to number of cells or what?
I had 10^6 molecules to 25 uL of cells the first time and 10^7 molecules to 50uL the second time I tried it. (Kit; StrataClone PCR Cloning Kit, Catalog #240205)
Manual: http://www.chem-agil...rata/240205.pdf - I can't find in this manual what the cell number density is in 1uL of the mixture, nor any instructions for re-transforming with already-generated plasmid. (only instructions for how much PCR product to add to the empty vector.)
The statement "too many freeze/thaw cycles can degrade DNA" has been told to me over and over, but what never gets explained is how many "too many" is, and also I've recieved conflicting information about this fact anyway. That, yes, it CAN degrade DNA over time but plasmid are pretty resilient compared to PCR products and genomic DNA when it comes to freeze/thawing, and also, if these things are stored frozen and the researcher who I got them from is used to storing them at -20 for a year and being able to bring them back out and re-transform them no problem, then these stocks should be of fine enough quality.
Posted 17 December 2012 - 02:45 PM
So if it's 5% ng/ng then I added 3ng/? ng for cells
if it's volume/volume, then I added too little the first time (1uL : 25uL ) and way too much (10ul : 50uL )the second time
if it's molecule to cell: then ????
So basically I need to develop a more detailed understanding of this but I don't know where to begin to look since the kit instructions don't include much of this.
One more thought. I sometimes quickly brush the flame over the top of my plates to pop air bubbles after pouring. This is something my boss told me to do, but she has never watched me do it before. I am wondering if doing that ends up destroying the antibiotics on the surface of the plate and if so, would it be acceptable to make up antibiotics at the appropriate concentration (dilute to 50ug/mL) in a volume of about 50uL and then spread it on the plate and let it soak into the plate before I plate the bacteria? Would that run the risk of adding too much antibiotic then just in case the flame has no effect on the antibiotic?

1. "Not particularly competent" - Are you indicating that this particular kit, the strataclone solopack, is the wrong kind of kit for this task? If so, why? Or are you indicating that these particular tubes of bacteria that I used were damaged somehow because of my technique? I don't think they were because I am careful about never letting them leave the ice until the heat shock step.
2. "This" - Do you mean that adding older, already made plasmid using some other kind of vector to cells is harder than adding freshly ligated plasmid using the vector that is designed for those cells, so you need better cells in order for it to work? Or plasmid at low concentration requires better cells?
I'm going to call the company today and find out what the maximum volume or mass of already-made plasmid this particular kit can take. We have a lot of other competent cell kits that I could try, but this is the one I have used before so I chose this one. Sorry, I'm a beginner.

Don't apologise, we all have to start learning somewhere. If you have access to it, try having a read through the chapters relating to plasmids and competent cells in Sambrook et al, Molecular Cloning: a laboratory manual. Any of the editions should be a good starting point but the most recent (AFAIK) 2004 edition has a lot of additional background that will help. Especially note the references therein.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 01:03 PM
.....I can also now see why I should have raised an eyebrow at my "0.3ng/uL" reading on the nanovue. I should have known better than to trust that nanoview. It's so tempting to try to read things on it because it's so quick ... and not accurate unless you have a really concentrated sample. Shame on me for wasting all these cells when I knew better. I'll probably just go back to the beginning and do new PCRs and re-clone everything. Thanks for all your help! Sorry if I seemed testy! This is pre-holiday crunch week and I should not have tried to do something "real quick." No such thing. =)

i'm looking for a way to change the structure/ presentation of batch wizard reports - server or client side - and i'd like to change more than is possible with style sheets.
if batch wizard results for validation, links and spelling would be more like 'data' - xml for example - and less 'structured and styled reports', that would be a good starting point.
from reading the help and forum, i believe this is possible for one or more validations in the editor or from the command line, but not for a whole website in the batch wizard.
did i get this right?

Well, it looks like andbey0nd has been busting his cojones once again to give the PS3 console mod-tool users an update of the first newbie-friendly CEX-to-DEX-based application.
Note that the debug (DEX system unit compatible) update of multiMAN is available as USUAL when you start multiMAN while holding L2+R2 and updating online.Code:Readme: http://pastie.org/4282714 c2d.exe (win32 app) =================== Requires: * OpenSSL 1.0.1 installed in c:\openssl or d:\openssl (http://slproweb.com/download/Win32Op...ght-1_0_1c.exe) * EID root key (per_console_key) obtained with metldrpwn * PS3 (NOR) flash dump * Extract c2d.rar in a local folder (c:\c2d or d:\c2d) Purpose: * Allows changing the Region / TargetID of your PS3 system * Allows "converting" any Retail PS3 into Debug unit (target_id 0x82) * Allows "converting" a Retail PS3 from one region to another (i.e. EUR PS3 -> JAP PS3, USA PS3 -> RUSSIAN PS3) Changing a Retail PS3 region unlocks playback for region-locked DVD/Blu-ray movies and PS1/PS3 games * WARNING: For best results flash the output NOR file with a tool which rewrites *ONLY the EID0 sector* (one sector / 512 bytes @ sector #376 / 0x178; NOR file offset 0x2f000-0x2f1ff).

found objects, Harry Widman, Quilts, Sculpture, sky, studios
We started Sunday at the beach…
but quickly jumped in the car, and headed home to get ready for Harry's 84th birthday party. LUCKILY I can sew in the car (…and no, I wasn't driving…) I'm still working on the spring quilt…trying to finish before summer gets here!
The sky was so beautiful today….
We arrived home and I rushed off to a uke jam, while R fixed asparagus to take up to Harry's party (oh…and we got rear-ended on the way home…)…we then jumped back into the only-slightly-damaged car with our offering in the "catering wrap" (hi Randy…)
and headed north. After hugging and eating there was singing to the birthday guy…
and a tour of the new studio finds…Mardy recently found some crates in the garage that she thought were empty, but in fact they were full of these lovely wood sculptures Harry made in the 1970′s…
Harry is deeply into Alzheimer's now, but the reassuring thing to me is that although he can't remember us (though he doesn't mind a hug), he is STILL making and arranging things…things he finds around or outside…and these are poignant and beautiful.
The studio remains full of energy and life, Harry's life.
…and here's an idea I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to use…Thanks Harry, and Happy Happy Birthday. XXOO

The Grayson County Board of Education took an opportunity to recognize three local court officials at their regular meeting on July 12 as a way of saying 'thank you' for the dedication shown to local youths and their ongoing relationships with the board.
Director of Pupil Personell, Sonny Prunty, presented honorary plaques to Judges Shan Embry and Kenneth "Harold" Goff II, along with court designated worker Lori Majors.
Prunty praised the trio, saying that they "help the school system in a big way."
"Some tough decisions have to be made, but I think they're fair and right on target," Prunty said of Embry, Goff and Majors.
Two local elementary schools also received awards of a different kind at the meeting. Both Lawler Elementary and H. W. Wilkey Elementary were recognized as Energy Star Schools.
Superintendent Barry Anderson praised the schools for their accomplishment, adding, "I am of the belief that the facility makes some difference in the way kids learn."
The school system as a whole was also recognized for being a 100 percent tobacco-free campus. Anderson applauded the school board for being the driving force behind that accomplishment, saying that the school system has been tobacco-free since 2009.
Anderson said that Grayson County Schools were a "trendsetter" in the state in moving toward entirely tobacco-free facilities.
In other school business, the group voted to approve a new fuel management system called "Gas Boy," which will help keep track of fuel costs for school buses.
The current system relies on drivers keeping a written log of how much fuel they use and when, but if any of those logs are lost or destroyed, it can make the system a less reliable representation of actual expenditures. There is also the problem of simple human error with this system.
"There are no controls," said Director of Transportation, Arnold Hack, of the current system, "except honest people."
The Gas Boy system would employ key fobs (small security hardware devices used to access a system) to grant access to the school's gas pumps and electronically and automatically record information such as how much gas was pumped, when, and by whom.
It would also give the transportation department greater knowledge regarding each individual bus by alerting them to vehicles which are getting notably less gas mileage than they should - a sign that there are mechanical problems which need to be addressed.
Director of Finance, Kerry White, who strongly recommended accepting Gas Boy's bid for the fuel management system, said that the school system spends about $450,000 on fuel each year.
"This is a good long-term investment," White said, explaining that the cost would be about $35,000 to implement the system at the school's four gas pumping locations.
While the cost seems notable, White said that it is a good deal compared to similar systems employed by many other school systems, which often run about $17,000 for just one pumping location.
Also approved at the meeting were motions to create two new positions for Licensed Practical Nurses in elementary schools; Milk and Bread bids for the 2012-13 school year; and motions for three personnel to take a leave of absence.

Gun Owners Expected to Rally for Jan. 19 'Gun Appreciation Day'
"On 01/19/13 go to your local gun store, gun range or gun show with your Constitution, American flags and your 'Hands Off My Guns' sign to send a loud and clear message to Congress and President Barack Obama," says coalition website.
A conservative group is hoping that tens of thousands turn out to show their support for gun ownership with their pocketbooks and picket signs the day before President Barack Obama is sworn in for a second term. The group, a coalition brought together for the event, declared Jan. 19 "Gun Appreciation Day." The hope is Americans nationwide will show their support for gun ownership by turning out en masse at gun stores, ranges and shows from coast to coast. "The Obama administration has shown that it is more than willing to trample the Constitution to impose its dictates upon the American people," said Gun Appreciation Day chairman Larry Ward in a press release. The day comes as the gun control debate becomes more divisive. This past week, …

The Renegades proved to be unbeatable when healthy as they compiled a 28-2 record this season, winning the Seven Hills Classic tournament, a Dizzy Dean regular season title, and a Dizzy Dean State championship.
The year started in Rome at the Levee on March 4 in the fourth annual Seven Hills Classic tournament. The Renegades went 4-0 at the tournament, including winning the championship game 15-1 in just three innings.
Brimming with early-season confidence, the Renegades stormed through the Dizzy Dean regular season by going 12-0 and winning the championship.
Manager Gary McBryde's team followed that by going 3-0 at the Dizzy Dean City/County Tournament at the end of the regular season to win that tournament in Rome.
Having not lost a game all season, the Renegades entered the District tournament with high expectations. However, with two pitchers out – one with an illness and one with a hurt arm – the Renegades stumbled and went 2-2 at District to finish in third place. That would be their only two losses this season.
However, with their players once again healthy, the Renegades went into the Dizzy Dean 10-and-under State Invitational tournament with 27 other teams and they fought through the competition to go 6-0 and capture the State championship.
The Renegades won the State title by beating the Eastside Titans 11-5.
Members of the team were Cleve Jordan, Sam Sanders, Brenton Pinkard, Hayden Hughes, Bryce Brown, Riley McBryde, Chase Swafford, Dekerion Jones, Ty Wilcox, Karson Moates, Markus Smith, Andruw Morris, Will Pilgrim, Dayton Leatherwood, Karter Moates, and Peyton Thorpe.
Gary McBryde is the manager and Chad Swafford, Kevin Moates, and Jason Brown are the coaches of the Dizzy Dean State champion Renegades.

If you are reading this, you've heard of us. So an introduction is in order. I am known as 'The Boss Lady' and the most restless of mortals. But I have been fortunate to have two exceedingly talented men in my life; my chef-husband, Cathal Armstrong and the other, our partner and spirits savant, Todd Thrasher. My husband, dark and brooding, is my Warrior-Poet, then there is Mr. Thrasher, who is my Wizard of Oz. Together we welcome you to a new era of the lounge. Where our present was written in the past-as 'the cocktail' now, evokes the classic age.
Mr. Thrasher, sommelier at Restaurant Eve and the master behind the mixes at PX, takes a chef-like approach to his creations. All of his juices are hand-squeezed, (so one won't find cranberry here) His seven bitters (lemon, peach, mint, cherry, orange, kumquat, cranberry) are house made and change as do the seasons. And as any reputable mad scientist-the Alchemist brews his own tonic. (A bag of quinine arrives once a month and magic begins.)
His acts of fermenting, muddling, mincing and trips to the farmers markets all contribute to the fine precision of layers and balance found in his libations. His cocktails are pure 'liquid art' and those seeking his A-list aperitifs will stay in his good graces, if you don't order a vodka tonic.
As it should be, these cocktails take time. But when skill and passion are combined…one can expect a masterpiece.
History has its place at our '20's fashioned speak-easy; the building is historic, all the wood-work original, chandeliers imported and the vibe-Classy. We chose to forgo the sleek-modern bar. Instead the word that came to mind was-Renaissance.

I don't like the half-windsor and the other triangular necktie knots. They're just too regular for me. Instead, give me a slightly asymmetrical four in hand every day. The too-fashionable example in the photo from Robert Talbott is hardly irregular but it's the shape I like. Big enough to fill a cutaway collar but not too big for a tab.
Emulating the late Duke of Windsor, I have my neckties made a bit thicker than normal, so I get a knot about the same size as a half windsor. Or I'll loop the wide end of a ready-made necktie an extra time around the knot to make it a bit larger and shorten the ends at the same time. Either way, the tie hangs just slightly askew, and that degagé air is, in my opinion, the way it should be.

Delightful Asymmetry

Is that warp around an extra time you refer also known as the Prince Albert knot? - December 6, 2007 at 7:38:00 AM PST

I'm a big fan of the knots one now sees on NFL commentary shows, you know the ones that are as big as a small cat (wink!).

Nungesser, I know it as the Victoria but the two are very similar. The Albert starts out in the opposite direction to the Victoria.

Do you have any instructions on how to tie this knot?

Blackstone, the knot in the photo is a four in hand. Google it, and you'll find diagrams in a dozen or more places.

This looks more like a knot shown on the website of Knize of Vienna. http://knize.at/en/content/3_8_5.html# On the website, it is called simply the "Knize" knot. Exactly the same knot we see on Marc Guyot's site http://www.marcguyot.com/2.aspx?sr=9
This knot is an excellent alternative to both four-in-hand and Victoria. Like they, it is asymmetrical and elongated but this knot, in my view, has more presence. It should fit any collar but will be especially good with a cutaway collar, in a situation where a four-in-hand would not be quite right. (A Windsor, of course, would never be considered anyway.) - January 27, 2010 at 11:29:00 AM PST

Algoma Girls Advance to WIAA D4 State Championship Game Saturday
By: Ryan Rodig
Updated: March 14, 2013
The Wolves' interior game and points off transition was the story of the game. Algoma scored 40 of their points from close range and scored 19 points off turnovers.
The Cubans drew to within three points with 4:39 remaining in the first half, but the Wolves responded with a 12-0 run to extend the lead to their largest of the first half at 28-13 and 30-18 at halftime. Algoma led by as many as 20 points in the third quarter and as many as 23 in the fourth quarter to cruise to the victory.
Algoma was led by Anna Dier with 18 points, and both Taylor Schmidt and Kennedy Blahnik added 13 points. Dier and Blahnik also had 10 rebounds apiece to pace the Wolves on the boards. Chloe Pustina led Cuba City with 16 points
