Rita Ora was recently taken on a tour of the Dundas and Ossington neighbourhood right here in Toronto and we reckon she found some new favourite spots! Flare magazine followed her every move, from checking out the boutique Bridge + Bardot to grabbing a drink at The Saint bar. At Bridge + Bardot she was able to find a few pieces to add to her closet, saying, "I loved how the clothes were very neat and I could see everything," Rita explained. "In some vintage stores, you just give up and leave because it's so much to look through." While at The Saint Rita explained that she can't eat anything without spice in it!
Check out the video of Rita Ora checking out one of Toronto's hottest neighbourhoods here!

Many will be watching to see how Pope Francis addresses the problem of clerical sexual abuse, scandals which have troubled the church all over the world and have yet to be adequately confronted in Latin America and other parts of the developing world.
His past is more complicated than the pastoral face he has so far offered the world and Pope Francis may soon be asked to answer for positions and decisions during Argentina's "dirty war." Those positions have already created divisions among members of his order in South America.
He has been accused of not speaking out sufficiently against the murders and "disappearances" during that awful period when as many as 30,000 perished. He has denied the allegations and defenders say he negotiated behind the scenes to help victims. Respected Brazilian theologian Leonardo Boff said Thursday he did not believe that Pope Francis, acting in his capacity then as Jesuit provincial, could be implicated in connection to the acts of the Argentine junta, and that he in fact assisted some of the junta's intended victims.
Whatever the truth behind the allegations, the stories themselves are damaging and Pope Francis would be wise to confront them forthrightly and soon so they do not become a lingering source of speculation throughout his papacy.
Otherwise, the emerging narrative of a down-to-earth man, thrust into power but mostly indifferent to the trappings of his position, driven by a special concern for the poor has proved especially encouraging to many frazzled Catholics, especially as, in a cynical time, it just may turn out to be the tale closest to the truth.

Spears confirms she's splitting from "X Factor"
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Britney Spears said Friday she has made the "difficult decision" to leave Fox's "The X Factor" after one season.
In a statement, the pop singer said she had an incredible time working on the singing contest but that it was time to get back into the studio to record.
It was widely reported Thursday that Spears and "X Factor" were parting ways after a season in which the show's ratings fell and Spears received lackluster reviews as a panelist. Fellow panelist Antonio "L.A." Reid previously announced he was leaving, giving creator-executive producer Simon Cowell two spots to fill.
Fox has been informed of Spears' decision, her publicist, Jeff Raymond said Friday. Fox spokeswoman Gaude Paez confirmed that Spears is leaving the show and said the network had no further statement.
Cowell and fellow producers are discussing replacements for Spears and Reid and will be conferring with Fox, said a person who is familiar with the situation but lacked authority to comment publicly and insisted on anonymity.
Demi Lovato is expected to return as a panelist, joining Cowell and the newcomers.
Spears, 31, said she was proud of the young "X Factor" contestants she helped counsel, but that watching them on stage each week made her miss performing.
"I can't wait to get back out there and do what I love most," she added.
When "X Factor" returns for its third season this fall, Cowell will attempt once again to match the success of the U.K. series he brought to America. After season one, Cowell replaced panelists Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jones, but Spears and Lovato didn't provide the hoped-for ratings spark, with Spears getting the brunt of criticism from observers.
She received a reported $15 million for one season's work. Continued...
Although the series has failed to match Cowell's bold pre-debut predictions, and certainly hasn't eclipsed sister Fox show "American Idol," it has helped shore up the network's fall schedule.

The imitation of Japanese porcelain was a priority at Chantilly, where the prince de Condé established a porcelain factory in 1730. His collection of Asian ceramics may have served as direct models for pieces made at Chantilly. This jar copies a Japanese form. The painted scenes are derived from print by Jean-Antoine Fraisse (ca. 1680–1739), whose Book of Chinese Designs (1735) was a source of motifs for the factory's painters.

This is a free tileset of city streets and grass areas to help you lay down a foundation of city roads for any top-down or isometric style project. If you're going to use this for mobile development make sure to atlas all of these 256x256 textures onto a couple of 512x512 textures or maybe a 1024x1024. NGUI, Sprite Manager 2, and several free sprite tools exist for the Unity engine that process texture atlases.
I would also suggest checking out the Modular City Kit video on my Youtube and grabbing the modular buildings. These modular buildings would work awesome placed on top of these tiles.
Download link via Dropbox is in the Youtube video description:

BEAUFORT -- There are a couple of spots along the North Carolina coast where it is possible to see colonies of wild horses.
One of those spots is on the Shackleford bank near Beaufort.
"It's almost like a spiritual experience just being out here, but that might be a little too cliché, if you will, but I'll tell you what, it's beautiful, as simple as that," said photographer Jared Lloyd.
As a photographer, Lloyd has spent a considerable amount of time with this colony.
"It's exotic, it's breathtaking, it's, you know, especially this time of the year, it's like paradise," he said.
Occasionally, Lloyd leads excursions in which he takes clients out to photograph the horses. For most, it is the first time viewing untamed horses in the wild.
"It's really surreal because, you know, you're out on this island, there's no other people, yet we're in North Carolina," said Sasha Felix from New York.
"Typically, when people think of wild horses, they think of the Rocky Mountains, the desert southwest," said Lloyd. "You don't think of barrier islands, turquoise blue waters, dolphins, sea turtles and lighthouses."
Ancestors of these horses came to the Americas from Spain with early settlers and explorers. They began living this wild existence here roughly 500 years ago.
"This is the point of contact, where ultimately western Europe crashed into North America, and when they came in, they brought their horses," said Lloyd.
The Shackleford banks horses earned federal protection in the late 1990's, and visitors to the area are asked to keep their distance.
"On this particular expedition, there's a real sense of respect that we don't go and try to make the horses do anything so that we can get a good photo shoot," said Maya Christobel from Oklahoma.
In general, those who come here to experience the horses are inclined to disturb them as little as possible, and there is the hope that others will treat them in the same manner.
"I hope that they can just find an appreciation for how amazing, you know, these horses are and the fact that, that they've been left alone," said Felix.
The horses already have enough with which to contend without factoring in a harmful human impact. They have adapted over the centuries but this can still be a harsh environment.
"It's a difficult life for 'em out here, but, like I said, for photography purposes, I mean, it just doesn't get better than this," said Lloyd. "This is incredible."

One of our more exciting ongoing projects here at the Aish Center is our art gallery, where we display artwork by young Jewish artists. The gallery is run by our very own curator, the lovely Judy Yerukhovich. I sat down with Judy to find out a little more about her work.
Hi, Judy! How'd you get involved with the Aish Center?
I was looking for a new spiritual home when I moved to Manhattan, and I was really taken by the staff at the Aish Center. The Rabbis do an amazing job, not only do they teach about Judaism but they constantly provide hard science to make it real. In addition, the staff at The Aish Center are incredibly friendly and welcoming.
So, what's your role here?
I was offered the amazing opportunity to be a curator here at the Aish Center. Being a curator means that I find artists, write press releases, organize art exhibitions, take care of publicity for the exhibitions, and organize the sale of artwork.
Are there any advantages to curating here than at a regular gallery?
There is a huge advantage to curating at the Aish Center. Curating at here really pushes me as a curator to look beyond shock value, and the art market trends for work that is both technically sound and aesthetically pleasing, contemporary, and hip, all while remaining within a Jewish framework.
So, how'd you become a curator?
I studied liberal arts with a concentration in art history at Sarah Lawrence College, and then completed the contemporary art history program at The Sotheby's Institute of Art. I also interned at different museums, commercial galleries, and non-profit art spaces while I was in school. Interning gave me tons of hands on experience and taught me how to run a gallery.
How do you find artists? What kind of art do you look for?
I look for young Jewish artists whose work I see potential in. I also look for artwork that will appeal to members of the Aish community both thematically and stylistically. In addition, I make sure that it is the kind of art I would want to collect myself.
It'd be great to see more art-based events running in the Jewish community. Thoughts?
Absolutely, it would be fantastic. Art is a really great way to engage people emotionally and is also a universal language that everyone can relate to. I believe that more art-based events would only benefit the Jewish community.
Thank you, Judy! We look forward to seeing some exciting art here at the Aish Center. The next artist whose work will be shown here is Nicholas Pollack, a photographer who documents the recovering Bronx River, a project that's been featured at the Huffington Post.

The Gazprom Swan 60 Class has now been officially recognised as a one design class by the world governing body for the sport of sailing, the International Sailing Federation (ISAF). This comes after a successful inaugural year during 2012 that saw the fleet compete at the Rolex Swan Cup and then at the first edition of the Nord Stream Race.
The Swan 60 was designed by German Frers and the first boat was launched in 2008; eight Swan 60s are now racing from five countries across two continents including Russia, USA, Denmark, Italy and Germany. The Swan 60 retains the fundamental values of Swan, a performance racer combined with features that offer cruising comforts when required. To date, the Swan 60s have raced under IRC in events such as the Copa del Rey, Palma Vela, Rolex Volcano Race, Rolex Giraglia Race and the Rolex Swan Cup.
The Gazprom Swan 60 Class has been developed in conjunction with the Yacht Club of Saint-Petersburg. The Class is set to grow and with its newly recognised ISAF status will hold a World Championships in Cowes during the Gazprom Swan European Regatta this summer.
As part of the Gazprom Swan 60 Class Executive Committee, Mike Urwin, Technical Director of the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) Rating Office has been appointed the Class Technical Manager. Mike commented; 'It is a privilege to take up this position and to be able to play a role in defining the direction of this exciting new class. Given our previous experience working with Nautor's Swan at their events and with the Swan 45 Class, allied with our other activities such as the Volvo Ocean Race, we believe that we can contribute significantly to developing a strong and successful class.'
Team Europe in action -
The 2013 Gazprom Swan 60 Class circuit will kick start the summer with the Delta Lloyd North Sea Regatta held in Scheveningen, Netherlands on 17 – 21 May.
From 13 – 19 July, the fleet will head to the shores of Cowes, Isle of Wight for close racing in the Solent during the Gazprom Swan European Regatta. Hosted by the Royal Yacht Squadron, the regatta will consist of 11 races over five days, the majority being windward-leeward courses for the Gazprom Swan 60 Class with one long race around the Isle of Wight scheduled for the Thursday. The event will conclude with a prize giving taking place at the Royal Yacht Squadron, one of the most prestigious yacht clubs in the world.
Staying in UK waters and enjoying the challenges that the Solent has to offer, the Gazprom Swan 60 Class will then take part in Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week from 3-10 August.
Concluding the Gazprom Swan 60 Class Circuit is the Nord Stream Race in September 2013 where the Swan 60s will follow the route of the Nord Stream pipeline. The race will begin in Germany and finish in Saint Petersburg.
The 2014 Gazprom Swan 60 Circuit will keep expectations high, starting with the Nord Stream Race in May from Saint Petersburg to Germany. It will then include the Gazprom Swan 60 World Championships followed by the Rolex Swan Cup held in Porto Cervo, Italy. The Circuit will conclude with the start of the Transatlantic Maxi Yacht Cup in Tenerife before competitors race to the British Virgin Islands in preparation for 2015.
2015 will see the Swan 60s making the most of the Caribbean waters and completing their three year world tour with events being held in Antigua, the British Virgin Islands, Newport and concluding in the Baltic for the fourth edition of the Nord Stream Race.
Enrico Chieffi, Managing Director of Nautor's Swan commented, 'We are delighted that the Gazprom Swan 60 Class has achieved ISAF Class status. We believe that the benefits of this recognition are significant and will contribute to the Class continuing to grow both in numbers of Swan 60s racing and geographical reach, while continuing to attract some of the world's very best sailors alongside the owner drivers as we saw at the Rolex Swan Cup with Freddie Loof alongside Leonardo Ferragamo onboard Swing and Tommaso Chieffi as tactician for Vladimir Liubomirov onboard Bronenosec.'

If she is in front of Shukaku's Attack and you are on other side of it (Safe side) then quickly navigate the 'Assist' arrow on Hinata and press the Square [] Button to get her away while the command is to assist you with her attack. Because she is the only healer there !

Taking a landscape view of people, food and nature
Interview with Fabrice de Clerck, Bioversity Programme Leader, Agroecological Intensification and Risk Management at the International Forum for Landscapes for People, Food and Nature – Nairobi, March 6-9th 2012
Q: We are here at the final day of the International Forum for Landscapes, Food and Nature in Nairobi. First of all, can you tell us why Bioversity International is involved in this partnership?
A: The theme of this meeting is looking at how we can have multi-purpose ecolandscapes that provide space for food production, livelihoods, and for conserving biodiversity and nature. We are also finding ways to support the institutions needed to put those together.
Bioversity's role, especially with the conservation and use of agricultural biodiversity, is central to this sort of a mission. Our new Programme on Agroecological Intensification and Risk Management aims to provide the evidence base as to how biodiversity at multiple scales - genetic, species, and landscape - can be managed to provide ecosystem services in ecoagricultural landscapes.
One of the fundamental insights of ecoagriculture is that you cannot have production without conservation, and vice versa. So the tools that Bioversity has been working on, from genetic conservation to species conservation, really are, I think, the fundamental building blocks for many of the goals of these landscapes.
When we talk about landscapes for people, food and nature, we are really talking about how we can manage agricultural landscapes to make sure they can provide the food that people need. This includes how agricultural biodiversity, including pollinators and predators of plant pests (for example bees), or varieties that are more resistant to diseases, can be integrated from the plot scale to landscape scale, to provide those production functions. This really is the foundation of agroecological intensification – intensifying the contribution of biodiversity and ecological processes in production systems.
Q: What particular experience can Bioversity International contribute to the ongoing Global Review?
A: The Global Review is part of the Landscapes for People, Food and Nature Initiative and aims to provide the evidence base for ecoagriculture. It will highlight what we know, and identify the primary knowledge gaps that exist. Bioversity is involved in several of the knowledge products which will come out of the Global Review.
Firstly we are leading the Global Review of Latin American landscapes with CATIE and Ecoagriculture Partners. This involves scanning the evidence to find examples of communities that are managing multifunctional landscapes. Through the review we hope to understand what were the critical elements of success, motivations, and challenges faced by these initiatives.
We're also heading up the review of Agroecological Intensification which aims to understand the current global extent of production systems that focus on ecological processes rather than relying on external inputs; and whether these systems can be scaled up to meet the global food demand projected to 2050. Agriculture is faced with a tremendous dual challenge of producing food for a population of 9 billion by 2050, while significantly reducing, or reversing its negative impact on the global environment.
In addition, we are putting together a knowledge product for conserving and managing agricultural biodiversity at the landscape scale, for nutrition, resilience and adaptation to environmental change, focusing on agricultural species and varieties.
These three themes are central to Bioversity's Agroecological Intensification and Risk Management Programme.
Q: Can you give a specific example of one the landscapes Bioversity has worked in?
One of the landscapes I have done a lot of work in, is the Volcánica Central-Talamanca Biological in Costa Rica.
This landscape is very important for producing coffee, sugar cane, dairy products, cacao, and in some cases, forest products. It is also important in terms of its hydrological functions.
The Reventazon River in this landscape produces nearly 40% of the country's electricity, not to mention the water produced for human consumption.
As the name implies, the landscape is also an important biological corridor, facilitating the movement of species between the well preserved Talamanca mountains to the south, and the Central Volcanic Range to the north.
What I like here is that you have all the elements of an Ecoagricultural Landscape - people, food and nature. This permits us to understand how the interactions between the various elements of agrobiodiversity, from the genetic to the landscapes scale, interact to provide multiple ecosystem services, particularly food, water, and pest control functions while maintaining corridors for wild biodiversity.
Bioversity's knowledge of how agricultural biodiversity drives ecosystem services is a key element to making this idea of a multi-functional landscape practical and functional.
Q: What do you think will be the legacy of the International Forum event?
A: I think it will make two big differences. The first is that it is very much action-driven. There is a Call to Action being jointly written by the 125 participants which is an effort to not just to talk about what we need to do, but to outline specifically what we need to do and how to do it. It has generated a tremendous sense of excitement at the meeting. It's ambitious, but then, that's what we need at this stage.
The second is that it brings together really diverse groups that traditionally don't interact much – the political groups, the finance groups, the agriculture groups, the conservation groups, and the farmer organisations. So you have a very fertile discussion that crosses traditional silos in terms of all the ramifications and implications for interactions between the activities and between each individual group, and how we can try then to cross those boundaries and get to these much more integrated landscapes.
Q: Do you really think this Initiative can make a difference?
A: Absolutely. I am an eternal idealist - otherwise I wouldn't be here. I am very familiar with the biological corridors of central America, and there I think I have seen some very real change on the ground. In particular, I have observed stakeholders who are very keen on these much more integrated approaches, as they are tired of the conflict between the forestry group, the agriculture group and the water groups. They really see the benefits of communicating across these centres in terms of diminishing these barriers and really focusing on the synergies, building this vision of a shared landscape.
And there are also some classic examples, such as the of the Yolo Basin area in California: a wildlife area between Davis and Sacramento that has many functions – it provides flood protection for the city of Sacramento, rice for both national and international markets, a wildlife viewing area, a place where duck hunters go to recreate and it is loved by the birding community. It really is a multi-functional landscape that has brought together a lot of stakeholders who typically don't usually talk together, such as bird-watchers and duck hunters, or farmers and conservationists. The benefits of that collaboration are clearly visible when you are out in that landscape and you recognise the multi-functionality.
I think it's important to recognize that these landscapes aren't pie in the sky, that they really do exist and when the right elements are in place, they produce some really exciting results.

Both Democrats, who are seeking a troop withdrawal, and Republicans, most of whom warn of the consequences of an immediate pullout, will question Petraeus and Crocker over what to expect in coming months, as J. Taylor Rushing reported in today's Hill.
Today's focus will also be on the presidential candidates. Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) are on the Armed Services Committee, while Sen. Barack Obama is a member of the Foreign Relations Committee.
Andy Barr, Chris Good and Walter Alarkon will start liveblogging as soon as Petraeus and Crocker's testimony begins.
Photo courtesy of Getty images
6:54 p.m.: The Foreign Relations committee is wrapping up its hearing. Petraeus and Crocker are done with the Senate but will face two house committees tomorrow. As Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) told Petraeus and Cocker "good luck."
Biden took one last shot at Crocker before adjourning, "no one thinks there is a diplomatic surge, no one, and we need to be surging."
That concludes the Briefing Room's coverage of the Petraeus-Crocker hearing. Check back at the Briefing Room for coverage of the Iraq debate and any other issue on Capitol Hill or the campaign trail. - A.B.
5:30 p.m.: Breaking from the slower question and answer pace conducted be previous Senators, Obama got through five exchanges with Petraeus and Crocker on topics ranging from al Qaeda in Iraq and increase Iranian influence. Obama attempted to get a clearer view of what Petraeus and Crocker would consider a "end game."
"If the definition for success is so high," Obama said "then that portends the possiblity of us staying for 20 or 30 years."
"If on the other hand we have a messy status quo" that does not "pose a threat," Obama asked "what is an achievable time frame?" - A.B.
5:23 p.m.: Hillary Clinton supporter Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) allowed Barack Obama to jump his place in line in order question Petraeus and Crocker ahead of Nelson because of an Obama scheduling issue. - A.B.
5:10 p.m.: Sen. Barbara Boxer's (D-Calif.) question for Petraeus was interrupted by a Code Pink protesters. When the protesters were not immediately silenced by capitol police Boxer yelled at the protesters to "hush up." - A.B.
4:40 p.m.: Talking about the Iranian Quds force, Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) says the group's killing of coalition forces would normally be considered "an act of war." Coleman asked Petraeus what needs to be done to "send the message" that the actions were unacceptable.
Petraeus told Coleman his focus is on Iraq. - A.B.
3:10 p.m.: Ranking Member on the Foreign Relations Committee Dick Lugar (R-Ind.) says the "surge" has had "marginal" impact but that "Iraq will be an unstable country for the foreseeable future, and if some type of political settlement can be reached, it will be inherently fragile." - A.B.

2 Meetup Groups match "Violin" near Culver City, CA
LACMP is a place for adult musicians (particularly string players) to play in small musical ensembles. All levels are welcome from beginner to professional. Most of the meet ups are free, but some are classes for which we charge tuition. Most meet ups take place at the Metzler Violin Shop.

A potentially serious injury to key midfielder Yann M'Vila took the shine off an otherwise encouraging 2-0 friendly victory for France over Serbia.
Rennes midfielder M'Vila took a kick to the ankle from Dusan Tadic in the opening exchanges and although he tried to carry on he left the pitch in obvious distress with just four minutes on the clock.
His team-mates went on to win with ease, scoring early goals through Franck Ribery and Florent Malouda while creating several other chances, but it will be the diagnosis for his central linchpin that will most concern Laurent Blanc tonight, with less than two weeks until the start of their UEFA EURO 2012 campaign.
"We're looking for perfection, but that doesn't exist," Blanc told TF1. "We had quite a few moves which resulted in chances where we scored in the first half. We were in better physical shape, but we're not yet ready. Overall I'm satisfied enough of this performance."
Midfielder Alou Diarra added: "We tried to impose our rhythm on the game, and it's that that made the difference. With the attacking talent that we've got we managed to score very early and that helped our cause. There were positive things, lots of good movements."
M'Vila would later return to the bench without crutches, but a scan is still expected on the ankle with a clear concern as to his fitness. France were still rocking from the loss of M'Vila when Ribery lifted the mood at the Stade Auguste-Delaune in Reims, rifling in a loose ball in the tenth minute after Zeljko Brkic spilled Gael Clichy's cross.
Moments later, Malouda's first-time pass had Karim Benzema through one-on-one with Brkic and the goalkeeper did well to palm it away for a corner. Malouda then doubled the lead in the 16th minute with a stunning strike, taking advantage of sloppy play from Serbia on the edge of their area to power home a swerving shot that was never going to be stopped.
France were buzzing, and Ribery and Benzema linked up well on the right, with Ribery almost feeding the Real Madrid man for an easy finish only to see him lose his footing at the vital moment. Yohan Cabaye's deflected shot then went narrowly wide, while Benzema's flick from Ribery's cross was blocked by a despairing hand from Brkic.
Serbia's first chance of the match came in the 43rd minute when Bosko Jankovic screwed a free-kick wide, but it was a taste of things to come as the visitors looked much improved in the second half as the substitutions began.
Branislav Ivanovic flashed a shot narrowly wide soon after the break, but there was a scare for Serbia moments later when Brkic fluffed a back-pass and was lucky to see the ball roll wide of the net. Just after the hour mark, Tadic gave Hugo Lloris his first test with a shot on the turn, but the French goalkeeper held it comfortably.
The game petered out as the substitutions mounted, and it will now be the results of M'Vila's expected scan that concern Blanc as much as the outcome here.

Determining Earthquake Recurrence Intervals from Trench Logs part of Rates and Time:GSA Activity Posters
Trench logs of the San Andreas Fault at Pallett Creek, CA are the data base for a lab or homework assignment that teaches about relative dating, radiometric dating, fault recurrence intervals and the reasons for uncertainty in predicting geologic phenomena. Students are given a trench log that includes several fault strands and dated stratigraphic horizons. They estimate the times of faulting based on bracketing ages of faulted and unfaulted strata. They compile a table with the faulting events from the trench log and additional events recognized in nearby trenches, then calculate maximum, minimum and average earthquake recurrence intervals for the San Andreas Fault in this area. They conclude by making their own prediction for the timing of the next earthquake.

Teaching geologic time and rates of landscape evolution with dice part of Rates and Time:GSA Activity Posters
Landscape evolution provides a convenient framework for understanding geologic time and rates because students can observe how processes like erosion and deposition shape their surroundings. In this example, students build 3-D sandbox models based on topographic maps and design and stage a "virtual adventure race." Sandbox landscapes are used to illustrate erosional processes,while local examples are used to discuss landscapes as transient or steady over different time- and length scales. Dice experiments illustrate radioactive decay and the shape of the age equation curve, and 14C dating, geochronology and thermochronology are introduced as "stopwatches" that start when a plant dies, a crystal forms, or a rock nears the surface and cools to a certain temperature. The sandbox model and thermochronometer "stopwatches" are combined to measure erosion rates and rates of landscape change. Ultimately, model rates (cm/hour) calculated from stopwatch times on the order of seconds can be related to geologic rates (km/My) calculated from real million-year-old samples.
Modeling U-Series Concordia/Discordia Using STELLA part of Rates and Time:GSA Activity Posters
U-Series dating techniques are widely used to determine the absolute ages of some of Earth's oldest rocks, but the concordia/discordia diagram can be quite difficult for students to grasp. I have produced a STELLA-based lab exercise to develop students' understanding of this important chronologic technique. Students create models of the two isotopic decay systems and run these models to create the concordia diagram. They then carry out experiments in which they "add" or "remove" varying amounts of lead or uranium in simulation of metamorphism. In the course of the lab, students are introduced to the concepts of exponential decay and secular equilibrium as well as modeling concepts such as the creation of if-then statements.
South Carolina Studies: Bringing the Geologic Time Scale Down to Earth in the Students' Backyard part of Rates and Time:GSA Activity Posters
Students visit Drayton Hall historic plantation near Charleston, South Carolina and are led on a field trip that starts with a discussion of documented historic changes that have affected the mansion and the surrounding property. The field trip continues with a study of Native American artifacts and ends with analysis of coastal plain deposits exposed along the Ashley River. Students use paleogeographic maps to discuss both historic and prehistoric changes to the landscape. Back in the classroom, students gather data to draw paleogeographic maps of their own school site through geologic time.
Rates of Change and Deep Time in the Middle Grades Classroom part of Rates and Time:GSA Activity Posters
The nature and scientific measurement of geological and cosmological time are among the most misunderstood and difficult to teach concepts in all of K-12 science education. To address this issue, a multi-disciplinary team of geologists, astronomers and education professionals at Western Kentucky University developed a series of professional development workshops for pre- and in-service middle grades teachers. The participants clearly advanced their content understanding of geological and cosmological time and the implementation plans received clearly show a desire to apply many of the activities learned in the workshop.
Learning Landscapes: RIVERS part of Rates and Time:GSA Activity Posters
Learning Landscapes provides historic "geo-images" of Rivers and Slopes. Students work at their own pace through a series of on-line images with directed questions and expert answers for each image. Images stem in most part from the University of Vermont's Landscape Change Program archive. Preliminarily, we have found that students relate to local images of New England, use the site as a resource, relate image content to course field laboratories, and relate images to their previous knowledge.
How much is a million? How big is a billion? part of Rates and Time:GSA Activity Posters
We constructed a geologic timeline along a 5K road-race route across the MSU campus at a scale of 1 meter = 1 million years, using signage to mark important events in the history of life. In addition to over 1500 race participants, numerous casual observers were exposed to the timeline. This project works well in the classroom at a scale of 1 mm = 1 million years, and as a manageable one-day outdoor sidewalk chalk activity at a scale of 1" = 1 million years. Timelines drawn to scale lead the observer to the inescapable conclusions that "simple" life appeared early in Earth history; that it took the bulk of Earth history to achieve the next, multi-cellular stage of development; and that once the metazoan threshold was crossed, subsequent biological diversification-and the resulting fossil record-followed in rapid succession.
Using Dendrochronology to Determine the Age and Past Environments of the Black Forest Region, Colorado, USA part of Rates and Time:GSA Activity Posters

Topic Overview
What is leukemia?
Leukemia is cancer of the blood cells. It starts in the bone marrow, the soft tissue inside most bones. Bone marrow is where blood cells are made.
- Reference White blood cells Opens New Window help your body fight infection.
- Reference Red blood cells Opens New Window carry oxygen to all parts of your body.
- Reference Platelets Opens New Window help your blood clot.
When you have leukemia, the bone marrow starts to make a lot of abnormal white blood cells, called leukemia cells. They don't do the work of normal white blood cells. They grow faster than normal cells, and they don't stop growing when they should.
Over time, leukemia cells can crowd out the normal blood cells. This can lead to serious problems such as Reference anemia Opens New Window, bleeding, and infections. Leukemia cells can also spread to the Reference lymph nodes Opens New Window or other organs and cause swelling or pain.
Are there different types of leukemia?
There are several different types of leukemia. In general, leukemia is grouped by how fast it gets worse and what kind of white blood cell it affects.
- It may be acute or chronic. Acute leukemia gets worse very fast and may make you feel sick right away. Chronic leukemia gets worse slowly and may not cause symptoms for years.
- It may be lymphocytic or myelogenous. Lymphocytic (or lymphoblastic) leukemia affects white blood cells called lymphocytes. Myelogenous leukemia affects white blood cells called myelocytes.
The four main types of leukemia are:
- Reference Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or ALL Opens New Window.
- Reference Acute myelogenous leukemia, or AML Opens New Window.
- Reference Chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or CLL Opens New Window.
- Reference Chronic myelogenous leukemia, or CML Opens New Window.
There are less common leukemias, such as Reference hairy cell leukemia Opens New Window. There are also subtypes of leukemia, such as Reference acute promyelocytic leukemia Opens New Window (a subtype of AML).
What causes leukemia?
Experts don't know what causes leukemia. Some things may increase your risk, such as being exposed to large amounts of radiation and being exposed to certain chemicals at work, such as benzene.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms may depend on what type of leukemia you have, but common symptoms include:
- Fever and night sweats.
- Headaches.
- Bruising or bleeding easily.
- Bone or joint pain.
- A swollen or painful belly from an enlarged Reference spleen Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window.
- Swollen lymph nodes in the armpit, neck, or groin.
- Getting a lot of infections.
- Feeling very tired or weak.
- Losing weight and not feeling hungry.
How is leukemia diagnosed?
To find out if you have leukemia, a doctor will:
- Ask questions about your past health and symptoms.
- Do a physical exam. The doctor will look for swollen lymph nodes and check to see if your spleen or liver is enlarged.
- Order blood tests. Leukemia causes a high level of white blood cells and low levels of other types of blood cells.
If your blood tests aren't normal, the doctor may want to do a Reference bone marrow biopsy Opens New Window. This test lets the doctor look at cells from inside your bone. This can give key information about what type of leukemia it is so you can get the right treatment.
How is it treated?
What type of treatment you need will depend on many things, including what kind of leukemia you have, how far along it is, and your age and overall health.
- If you have acute leukemia, you will need quick treatment to stop the rapid growth of leukemia cells.
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia may not need to be treated until you have symptoms. But chronic myelogenous leukemia will probably be treated right away.
Treatments for leukemia include:
- Reference Chemotherapy Opens New Window. This is the main treatment for most types of leukemia.
- Reference Radiation Opens New Window.
- Reference Stem cell transplant Opens New Window. Stem cells can rebuild your supply of normal blood cells and boost your immune system.
- Reference Biological therapy Opens New Window. This is the use of special medicines that improve your body's natural defenses against cancer.

Richard Blanco delivers his inauguration poem "One Day."
[This post has been updated from its original version. It originally spelled the poet's name "Bianco," not "Blanco."]
If President Obama had been casting about through American history for the ideal poet to deliver his inaugural "Song of Ourselves," he could do no worse at this juncture than Walt Whitman. The booming American icon didn't just have a gift for ferreting out the things that make all Americans, indeed all humans, the same regardless of accidents of birth or upbringing -- he had a way of inspiring people to be better than they think they are, to see the puny nature of our differences and work together to appreciate the wonders of democracy. Anybody who's been paying attention to Congress knows we could use a little of that right now. Plus -- and this is icing on the cake from a political standpoint -- he was probably gay.
There's just one problem for Obama: Whitman is dead. But the president seems to have found the next best thing -- in fact, with a bonus.
Richard Blanco, a 44-year-old Cuban American, is not only openly gay but Latino, two groups Obama's Democrats aim to court as their numbers swell and American tolerance for differences grows. And his poem, delivered at Obama's inauguration Monday, was breathtakingly Whitmanesque. i speak, in particular, of "Song of Myself," which like Blanco's poem is an attempt to grasp the epic sweep of America. These two stanzas, in particular, are striking:
"I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul
I lean as loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death."
--Walt Whitman, "Song of Myself"
Contrast that with Bianco:
"One ground. Our ground, rooting us to every stalk
of corn, every head of wheat sown by sweat
and hands, hands digging trenches, routing pipes and cables, hands
as worn as my father's cutting sugarcane,
