Summary: Felder Algebra 2 Teacher's Guide introduction to chapter on modeling data with functions.
This unit is really three different topics, joined together by a somewhat weak thread.
The first topic is direct and inverse variation. The second topic is finding a parabola that fits any three given points. The third topic is regression on a calculator.
The weak thread that connects them is that they all involve starting with data, and finding a function that models that data. (At least, the latter topics are clearly about that, and the first topic is about that if you approach it the way I do…)

day seven recap: Street Food Revolution with Jamie Berger & Victoria Stewart
Yesterday's street food revolution workshop focused on the rise of young people accessing really, really great food on the streets of London. Jamie Berger, co-founder Pitt Cue and Victoria Stewart, food journalist and Evening Standard features commissioning editor, stressed the influence of social media in being the key ingredient in kick starting the street food revolution. Stewart mentioned how social media helped capture the "buzz' for street food and therefore allowing food startups to expand and grow from a food truck in a Peckham car park to a restaurant in Soho. This was exactly how Jamie Berger co-founded BBQ specialist, Pitt Cue. Within days of Pitt Cue opening, Twitter had created a fantastic buzz about their BBQ truck and the tweets had caught the attention of food bloggers, local and national press. Berger mentioned it was the early followers that took them where they are now. Pitt Cue now has a restaurant in Soho and a pop-up on the Southbank and Berger now wants to focus on sourcing his own produce and even joked about creating a Twitter account for the farm.
Victoria Stewart again mentioned how the passion for this "guerilla dining" was down to how Twitter created an incredible hype which sold out events instantly. For example the Tweat (tweet and eat) Up presents Ribstock, a pop-up in Soho, which is a battle between the UK's best rib chefs, sold out in no time. Twitter has also encouraged the top chefs in London to open up to a new and younger audience, changing London's fast food scene by making really great food affordable. And recently ES magazine published their 20 best food trucks where most of them only reveal their locations on Twitter. These pop-up phenomenon's such as the eat.st collective which promotes British street food and Red Market, East London's original night market inspired Stewart to create her own blog called the London Street Foodie. Stewart blogs reports from markets to food trucks and everywhere in between.

Returning to England to head up the London office of an American business intelligence firm, Jamie was quickly reminded why he had left the corporate world in the first place and fell back on his joint loves: food and drink. Having been given his first cocktail shaker by his American mother at 12, Jamie finally realised his dream of setting up a food truck when he co-founded Pitt Cue Co. in 2011 with his chef-friend Tom Adams. After a successful summer serving Southern US barbecue, bourbon and beer on London's Southbank, Pitt Cue Co. opened in bricks-and-mortar in Soho in January 2012.

Kimberly Coleman
A decade ago, Kimberly hit the home schooling scene kicking and screaming. Today, she is a passionately home-educating momma who has grasped the magnitude of her calling to love and teach. She and her husband have four children, ages from three to fourteen, all of whom are being educated at home. Kimberly remembers her exact thoughts that first day of teaching her children: 'This is what I was made for!' Ten years of making library trips, cooking ethnic meals, flooding a mock Nile River bed, and counting piles of nickels have both brought a little gray to her head and developed a great appreciation for teaching at home. Since she first won a small town story writing contest in third grade, Kimberly has been driven to write. Her itch gets satisfied by scribbling in her journal, jotting a note to a friend and inspiring the next generation to write. For several years she has advised a journalism class whose purpose is to publish a homeschooling newspaper for their academy. More recently, Kimberly teaches writing classes for all ages and offers a service for essay evaluation.

Is God really involved in our daily activities?
January 15, 2013, 10:12:56 PM »
First of I am not Orthodox. I'm posting here because I don't have anyone I can ask this question of.
Three years ago I was reading about Orthodoxy and ended up becoming an Anglican. It was a happy middle for my wife. Prior to that we were bounced between charismatic and evangelical churches. I shouldn't say bounced though. I was once a pastor and my wife and I lead worship so we have worked with a number of church plants. But I have read a lot of Orthodoxy and would love to be in the church. I have two Lossky books on my nightstand currently that I am slugging my way through.
God seems so absent from my daily life. I consider myself a prayer book Anglican. I do the Morning Prayer and Compline almost everyday. I enjoy that. I feel near to God when I do it. Problem is that I'm 46 and life hasn't always been fun. And frankly it sure would have been nice during prayer this morning to hear a still small voice say 'Hey you might want to check to see if you paid your water bill so your wife doesn't come home to no water!!' That might sound trite but if I am in a relationship with God and I spend time with him. Is it not too much to ask for some help down here and actually get it.
Is my expectation just modern day Protestant nihilistic deception? We sing songs about God's nearness. "He holds me close". No he doesn't. It just appears that my life is the sum of decisions that I have made, good or bad. That God is really not involved and I'm just wondering if this is reality and I'm hitting the reality of bad teachings on faith and life in God. I've pretty much come to expect nothing good from God's hand but should I be expecting anything at all??

Hello Dave,
I am not Orthodox either (though I hold a profound respect and reverence) nor do I feel qualified to truly address your questions. I certainly do understand them though.
"It just appears that my life is the sum of decisions that I have made, good or bad."
Well, yea, as I understand it God forgives but the world we live in may not be so kind. Justification does not necessarily mean we don't still have to face the consequences of our actions. We typically do. There are many that insist that if we are not close to God there is something in our life standing between us. Theology to my limited understanding supports that. You have mentioned a couple of things that may suggest some innaccurate teachings. I don't really know of course what you have learned or been taught but I am finding out there are a lot of misconceptions of Christianity out there. No worries there is plenty of Truth and many that have paved the way before us.
If I may also suggest that while I have no issues with official prayers perhaps some time (if you do not already) spent simply asking God to reveal Himself beyond the contamination of man might be prudent. Time spent reciting from a prayer book is a great thing. Perhaps time spent asking for His presence and then just sitting in silence and stillness is what would benefit you as well.
I am including this link as it benefited me once. It is the first part to an awesome sermon series you may benefit from listening to. It addresses some fundamental Christian beliefs and includes a bit about God in our daily lives.
I pray for you the Peace, Presence and Grace of our Lord Christ Jesus!

There are heathens that live with more virtue than I. The devil himself believes Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Neither of these things truly makes me Christian.

Ohhhh....but, He IS present....every second of your day.
To a certain degree we find ourselves in a situation of our own making...but, that's because we have freewill.....and often that freedom leads us astray.
No matter the situation you are in, He's there beside you....all the time.
I think our problem is that we wish for a "personal" relationship with Christ. We wait for the "warm and fuzzies"...and when we don't experience them we feel God has alienated Himself from us, etc.
We aren't instructed to nurture a personal relationship with Him. It is through the Church and the Holy Sacraments that we draw near.
Nobody is made to be alone or to try to find God, on their own.
Even monks, or dessert dwellers, still had abbots, brother monks, etc. to answer to.
I believe the closer you come to the Church, get embraced by the Church, the closer you will find yourself to God.
May God bless you and aid you on your journey Home.
Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.

Keep in mind I am not a priest neither am I educated theologically.
I believe God exists in the Anglican Church, not that it shares in the fullness of the Ancient Faith, and even though in recent years it has adopted vile deviations in practice---like female and homosexual clergy. I do not understand why you do not feel God's presence, especially because of the prayer life in which you engage.
However, understanding the less complicated dogma of the Unchanged Ancient Faith of Orthodoxy, life in the Orthodox Church is brought more immediate to one, in my opinion, living daily the Church Calendar, participating in its Divine Services, including the richness of the hymnology of Orthros (Matins) and Vespers, the sacramental life, and living the church's practices and spiritual exercises, not that I've attained to a level of spirituality I could have, as yet. I always felt the presence of God in my life, probably due to how my parents taught me and my experience in the Church, but when I was age 17 and read some basic orientations to Orthodoxy books, like "The Orthodox Church" by Timothy Ware (now Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia of the Holy Archdiocese of Great Britain), and an explanation of the meaning of the Divine Liturgy by Fr. George Papadeas, both of which also awakening what I had been taught in Sunday Church School too, the depth of my faith imbued a very strong feeling for God in my life---and my life experience has proven God's love for me; I felt what it means to be "born from above" (or "born again"). I don't know how much of a difference Orthodoxy would make to you, especially because I do not know of your personal characteristics.

Our every breath that we breathe is sustained by Him, our Creator. If ever I am feeling "disconnected," I stop, close my eyes in silence and consider each breath, each heart beat. And I know. His is sustaining me. Then I pick up my cross and carry on, consoled by that awareness.

Create a Ken Burns-style photo project on your iPhone with PhotoMotion
There have been a number of apps that duplicated this dramatic style of slow panning over images, but they have often been too complicated or the interface so unintuitive that people simply wouldn't bother. But PhotoToaster, made by the same developers, is one of my favorite photo editors, so I was excited to see how they would handle an entirely different process for creating photo projects. … Read more

Across the border in Honduras, about five hours by road from Guatemala City, are the ruins of Copán, one of the most magnificent of all Maya sites. While its compact scale is not initially as impressive as Tikal or Mexico's Chichén Itzá, it boasts an astonishing number of decorative carvings, stelae and altars, including a towering hieroglyphic stairway. Throw in a wonderful site museum and the delightful and friendly village of Copán Ruinas, where most people stay, and it's easy to appreciate Copán's appeal.
Delightfully located in a sweeping highland valley, the city-state of Copán was the southernmost centre of the Maya civilization. The Maya chose a beautiful site on the fertile banks of the Río Copán at a pleasingly temperate altitude of 600m. Today the countryside around Copán is glorious to look at, with green rolling hills of pastureland and tobacco and coffee farms interspersed with patches of pine forest. Though the archeological site is the main attraction, there's plenty more to explore in the surrounding area, with hot springs, fincas and bird reserves close by.

Honduras basics
Getting to Copán is pretty straightforward from Guatemala. There are excellent transport links from Antigua and Guatemala City by direct daily shuttle and luxury buses, or you can also travel via Chiquimula, a longer but cheaper route. The Honduran currency is the Lempira; at the time of research the rate was US$1 = L19. Most nationalities (US, Canada, virtually all EU countries, Australia and New Zealand) qualify for a free thirty-day visa on arrival, and crossing the border is usually very straightforward. Note that the country code for Honduras is 504 and there are no area codes.

Having just been named the new face of Dior, Mila Kunis is continuing to cement her style icon status with an array of stunning looks.
She stepped out in LA on Saturday wearing a Prabal Gurung purple lace and chiffon dress that featured a neckline held together by a lace.
The actress teamed the daring ensemble with peep-toe heels, soft waves and smoky eye make-up at the St Jude Children's Research Hospital gala.
Also showing their support was Sex and the City actress Kristin Davis, who kept it simple in a lowcut LBD.
The famous faces were lending their star clout to the event which helps raise funds for children fighting cancer and other fatal diseases.

105 Main St Liverpool, NS South Shore
Linda Rafuset: 902-354-4058e: gov.ns.ca
Open between Jun 1 - Oct 5
Every day for over 40 years, Simeon Perkins recorded details in his diary about life, family and business in Liverpool. From mentions of ships' captains, to notes about goods coming and going, to remarks about his house, American privateers, children being born and even the threat of the smallpox epidemic of 1800, Simeon's observations provide a personal perspective on life in Nova Scotia from 1766 to 1812. Now you can see and hear the Perkins family "ghosts" as they tell their tales about life in the late 1700s. The museum's exciting audio visual projections offer a new way to discover the stories pulled from Perkins' diary, bringing to life the bustle of a large family and a thriving Colonial town. Come discover the nooks and crannies of this historic home, see Liverpool's history through the eyes of a prominent merchant and community leader, and enjoy hands-on demonstrations such as spinning, needlework and wool carding. We are open from June until October. Admission is charged. Parking is on-site. Bus tours are welcome. Picnic area is available.
Details: Admission charged.

The cities of Mercedes and Harlingen, located in Texas' Rio Grande Valley near the Mexican border, did not develop until the early twentieth century. Known as "The Queen City of the Valley," Mercedes was founded in 1907 after widespread publicity campaigns drew northern settlers to the area. It flourished as a citrus fruit producer, reaching a population of 2,000 by 1915. When oil was discovered in Mercedes in 1935, its population increased to almost 8,000 residents by 1940. Harlingen, on the other hand, was incorporated in 1910 with just over 1,000 inhabitants. Its economy centered around agriculture, specifically vegetables and cotton. It became a distribution, shipping and industrial center as U.S. Highways 77 and 83 were completed, connecting Harlingen to the rest of Texas. As Harlingen surpassed Mercedes in both population and economy, Harlingen became a center of Jewish life for much of the Rio Grande Valley.
Little is known about the early Jewish community in Mercedes. At least one Jewish man, Isadore Moritz, lived in town by 1908. Born in San Antonio in 1883 to Alsatian immigrants, he came to Mercedes to start a newspaper, The Mercedes Enterprise. It was the first weekly newspaper to be published in the Rio Grande Valley outside of Brownsville. Moritz was also instrumental in establishing the Mercedes Masonic Lodge and was himself the first Senior Warden of the Lodge. By 1912, after organizing lodges in Harlingen and other cities in the valley, he was appointed District Deputy Grand Master for the 40th Masonic District. That year, however, he moved to Brownsville.
Rabbi Daniel Harrison, the first spiritual leader of the Mercedes congregationIn 1927, Jews across the Rio Grande Valley established Congregation Beth Israel, which met in Mercedes. The congregation served Jews in sixteen towns in the area, including Mission, McAllen, Weslaco, San Benito, Harlingen, Donna, Val Verde and Rio Grande City. Soon after organizing, the members pledged $400 a month to pay someone to serve as rabbi and teacher to their children. Hiring a spiritual leader was a higher priority than acquiring a building for Beth Israel. With about 250 Jews affiliated with Beth Israel, the congregation hired Daniel Harrison, a recent Russian immigrant, as their rabbi in 1928. He left his post one year later after being named principal of the San Antonio Hebrew Institute. In 1936, the congregation finally built a synagogue in Mercedes which catered to the estimated 315 Jews in the area.
In both Mercedes and Harlingen, Jews, many of whom were Eastern European immigrants, became successful merchants. In Mercedes, Max Mestel operated the Electric Shoe Shop, while Max Hessel owned the Popular Store. H. Hartman ran the Big Store while Ben Golden owned a jewelry store. Other Jewish-owned stores in Mercedes in the 1930s included Brand's, Swirce's, Maxpol's and Baum's.
(l to r) Joe Kirsh, Ben Levine, Ned Sondock. These merchants were leaders of the Harlingen Jewish community.As Harlingen's population expanded in the 1930s due to its importance as a shipping and industrial center, many Jews took their businesses there. Abbish and Rose Adolph, one of Harlingen's earliest Jewish residents, came from Baltimore in 1923 and opened a retail store, later called the New York Store. In 1934, Polish immigrant Ben Levine established the Man's Shop. Sol Yudesis, a master upholsterer from Ukraine, opened San Benito Furniture Company and then S. Yudesis Furniture Company in 1927 in nearby San Benito. Charles Davis owned the Diana Shop, which sold ladies ready-to-wear clothing and operated for at least 42 years. Ned Sondock, who had come to Harlingen during the Great Depression in search of a job, opened an office supply store, Delta Office Supply. Harry Norton Greenfeld moved to Harlingen in the early 1930s, where he managed and eventually owned a dry goods business called the Economy Store. Polish-born Sam Feldman decided to move from Victoria to Brownsville in 1930, but ended up in Harlingen when his car broke down. Staying there, he entered the wholesale liquor business in 1938 and eventually turned to retail liquor sales. By 1960, the Feldman family's business had nine stores throughout the valley. Lee and Melvin Levy owned a TV and radio store.
While Jews ended up in Harlingen for various reasons in the 1920s and 1930s, it was the opening of the Harlingen Army Air Field in 1941 that brought Jews and others in large numbers. As the city's population soared to 23,000 by 1950, many Jews realized the business opportunities available in Harlingen. Both Joseph Braunstein and Nate Koppel sold life insurance. Brothers-in-law Sam Alexander and Max Shapiro were in the soda bottling business, with Sam owning the Hollywood Bottling Company and Max the local Pepsi Cola bottling plant. Isadore Moritz, who had moved again, this time to Harlingen, was the news editor at the KRGV radio station and then news reporter for the Harlingen Star. Albert Wolf established the AOC Welding Supply Company. In addition, Harlingen Jews had begun to enter the professions. Heinrich and Annie Lamm, a German couple, were both physicians – he was a surgeon and she was obstetrician and anesthetist. Marcel Bedri was a doctor as well while Dave Ruston was an optometrist. Nate Koppel's son Rollins became a successful attorney and banker as well as an important leader in both the Jewish and larger community.
By 1948, it was clear that the Jewish population of Mercedes was shrinking while its neighbors McAllen and Harlingen were thriving. Members of Beth Israel from McAllen and Harlingen met separately in October 1948 to decide the future of their congregation. The McAllen group had decided to form their own separate congregation and had already begun constructing a synagogue. The two groups agreed to dissolve the Mercedes congregation and form two, separate congregations – Temple Emanuel in McAllen and Beth Israel in Harlingen. The temple in Mercedes was sold to a church, with proceeds from the sale and the remaining assets divided equally between the two new congregations. McAllen's congregation paid $250 for the Mercedes temple's pews, chairs, torah, dishes, cutlery and tables.
Rabbi Geller (far left) and Beth Israel's Confirmation Class of 1950Between 1948 and the 1951 dedication of the new synagogue in Harlingen, Beth Israel met in various places, including the barracks of the Harlingen Air Force Base, where they conducted Reform services and Sunday school. Despite not having a permanent building, Beth Israel still managed to hold a confirmation ceremony in 1950. Rabbi Jonah Geller of Corpus Christi's B'nai Israel Synagogue conducted the ceremony that year. On June 24, 1951, Beth Israel's temple was formally opened and dedicated, with many members of the Rio Grande Valley's religious community – Jewish and non-Jewish – participating in the festivities. Ministers from four different churches in the area gave their prayers while representatives from both Brownsville and McAllen's Jewish congregations addressed the crowd. Rabbi Geller from Corpus Christi gave the address "The Role of Religion in Modern Life." At the time of the synagogue's dedication, the congregation's membership totaled 34 households, representing 63 adults.
Beth Israel synagogueThe Harlingen Air Force Base reopened in April 1951 with the start of the Korean War. As a result, attendance at Beth Israel's services was significantly higher than membership records show. In 1953, the congregation hired Rabbi Adolph Phillipsborn, a retired rabbi from Vicksburg, Mississippi, for $150 a month. Unfortunately, due to health issues, he was forced to return to Vicksburg in 1956. After his departure, the congregation was never able to hire a full-time rabbi. Often, student rabbis from Hebrew Union College or visiting rabbis from McAllen or Brownsville conducted services. In 1956, two rabbis from the Air Force's Chaplain School in San Antonio conducted Beth Israel's high holiday services. Occasionally Rabbi Sidney Wolf from Corpus Christi's Temple Beth El visited as well. In 1954, the Jewish community acquired their own burial grounds at Restlawn Cemetery, located between Harlingen and La Feria.
With its membership growing to 100 households in 1960, the congregation built a Sunday school addition the following year, complete with four classrooms and a recreation room. However, when the Air Force Base was permanently closed in June, 1962, the temple lost many members and regular participants. Not only did those who were associated with the base leave, but as the local economy was hurt by the closure, some civilian members left to seek better economic opportunities. Eventually, there were not enough children to continue offering Sunday school, forcing those left to take their children to McAllen or Brownsville to complete their religious education. Nevertheless, the congregation remained active. Its sisterhood organized community seders, Chanukah and Purim parties, and hospitality for student and visiting rabbis; the sisterhood also held an annual rummage sale.
Harlingen Jews have been active in the city's civic life. Sam Alexander served as a city commissioner from 1953 to 1959, as did Lewis Levine from 1972 to 1974. Both Henry and Charles Feldman were presidents of the Harlingen Chamber of Commerce. Jerry Sondock, Mal Kasanoff, Albert Wolf, Jr. and Lewis Levine all served on the Airport Board. Rollins and Amalie Koppel founded the Rollins M. and Amalie L. Koppel Foundation, sponsoring many charitable projects in the community. For its 100-year anniversary, Harlingen created its Walk of Fame, honoring its 100 most influential citizens. At least eight were Jewish – including Sam Alexander, Charles Feldman, Mal Kasanoff, Rollins Koppel, Annie Lamm, Heinrich Lamm, Ben Levine and Lewis Levine – illustrating the great impact Jews have had on the city.
Beth Israel's renovated sanctuaryAfter over 50 years of wear and tear and following damage from Hurricane Dolly in July 2008, Beth Israel undertook major renovations of their temple. Insurance covered the replacement of the pews and wood paneling that were damaged by the storm. Fundraising – especially the generous donations from the Koppel and Wolf families – paid for the rest of the improvements, including a new roof, new plumbing and electrical fixtures, new carpet, and remodeled kitchen and restrooms. The former school building was renovated as well, allowing Sunday school classes to resume. Due to the efforts of congregational leader Fernando Russek, the Beth Israel religious school was reorganized, and in 2011 had about 25 students.
On December 11, 2009, the congregation celebrated a rededication of its temple. In 2011, the congregation has about 100 members; Rabbi Frank Joseph conducts services one Saturday each month, as well as High Holiday services. A handful of Beth Israel's members, interestingly enough, are Mexican converts who believe that their ancestors were Jews who were forced to convert in the wake of the Spanish Inquisition. Converts have played an important part in Beth Israel's continued vitality. Harlingen's overall population is growing, increasing over 12% since 2000, and the remaining Jewish community is optimistic about its future.

A group against alcohol sales immediately handed out a petition to block the sale of beer. The effort resulted in the collection of about 525 signatures.
The gas station will no be allowed to sale beer until after the November 2013 election if Cache County officials can verify about 330 of the signatures.
City Mayor Bryan Cox says the issue is Cache County sales and tax revenue because gas stations about a mile away from the dry Maverick station can sell beer.

The ESPN College Game Day bus will be making a three-hour pit-stop on Thursday in Chesterton. State Farm Agent Jim Kristoff says the bus will be at his office, located on the five-hundred block of Indiana Boundary Road, in Chesterton, on Thursday afternoon from 3 to 6pm, on its way for Saturday's Butler-Gonzaga game. Kristoff says the bus is stopping because his office won a state-wide State Farm contest to have the bus stop by, and that they are also holding a ribbon cutting ceremony that same afternoon for the office, which opened last September. He says they anticipate anywhere from 100 to 150 people showing up, and that everyone is invited to come out, for tours of the bus and refreshments will be provided.

By building their long-term capabilities, ORBIS helps its partners to take action to provide quality eye care services that are affordable, accessible and sustainable.

ORBIS Southern Africa's focus
The focus of ORBIS Southern Africa is to develop specialised services for children's eye health within the region. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest prevalence of childhood blindness in the world and yet very few adequate services or trained staff. ORBIS is developing specialised child friendly centres and working in partnership with community eye health programmes to build efficient referral networks for children with complex sight problems to be found, referred, treated and followed up on throughout their lifetime.
The model also includes extensive training for the children's eye health team, procurement of necessary equipment and refurbishment of facilities to ensure a child friendly environment.
ORBIS is currently developing paediatric ophthalmic centres in Zambia, South Africa, Madagascar, Tanzania and Ethiopia, click here to learn more.
How does ORBIS bring sight to those in need?
ORBIS provides the tools, training and technology for local doctors and other health care personnel to develop workable and lasting solutions to the tragedy of avoidable blindness in their country. By building up the long-term capabilities of eye care institutions (capacity building), ORBIS helps its partners reach a state where they can provide, on their own, quality eye care services that are affordable, accessible and sustainable.
Essential elements of capacity building include:
Programmes, projects and the Flying Eye Hospital ORBIS integrates capacity building, public awareness and advocacy into its action plan through several avenues:
To date, ORBIS has trained more than 280,000 eye care professionals aboard the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital and in local hospitals. Offices with long-term programs dedicated to preventing blindness and restoring sight are located in Bangladesh, China, Ethiopia, India, Vietnam and the newly opened Cape Town, South Africa office. ORBIS development offices are located in the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, Macau, Taiwan and the United Kingdom.

Primordial Announce Short US Tour: Playing Progpower XIII
Irish metal band Primordial has confirmed a string of tour dates this September with While Heaven Wept and Cormorant. The tour will culminate with Primordial's appearance at Progpower XIII, which also features Epica, Symphony X, and more.
Vocalist Alan 'Nemtheanga' Averill elaborates: "Long and hard is the road…we are well aware that over the years we haven't played in North America remotely as much as we have wanted to. There are reasons of course, mostly economic and some small amount of simple bad luck that have prevented us over the years but we are finally making it back for the first time since our full tour as part of Paganfest in 2009. Admittedly, yes it is only seven dates and was fleshed out around the Progpower festival on the last day in Atlanta, but with a will there is a way and here we are with a mini tour to announce. We are patently aware there will be lots of disappointed Primordial fans in North America we won't be hitting their area, but hopefully this will sow a few more seeds which means we might return in 2013. So for now…the seven dates of hell…see you down the front…"
Check out the tour dates below. Ticket information for Progpower can be found here. READ MORE

Center for Corporate Climate Leadership
Supply Chain
Information for organizations interested in reducing their supply chain emissions
Organizations' supply chains often account for more than 75 percent of their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, when taking into account their overall climate impacts. Over the last decade, leading organizations across many sectors have developed GHG inventories, instituted annual GHG-accounting practices, and succeeded in reducing their own Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions. These entities are now tackling the next frontier in GHG managment by finding ways to measure and lower their GHG emissions throughout their supply chains.
EPA's 2010 report Managing Supply Chain Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Lessons for the Road Ahead (PDF) (26 pp, 8.8 MB, About PDF) highlights lessons learned by early movers that engaged their suppliers on GHG management. As part of EPA's commitment to promote, recognize, and incentivize cutting-edge leadership in supply chain initiatives, the Center for Corporate Climate Leadership is featuring emerging best practices, offering opportunities for organizations to learn from each other's experiences. In addition, the Climate Leadership Awards recognize organizations that are at the leading edge of managing GHGs in their organizational supply chains.

Sam Witwer Interviewed About
Posted By Eric on February 1, 2013
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Season 5 in the home stretch, tomorrow morning's episode,
"The Lawless"
, sees the end of the season's Maul story arc. As part of your preparation for watching the episode, you might want to check out
this interview at Hollywood.com
with Maul voice actor Sam Witwer. Witwer told interviewer Christian Blauvelt about the current story arc, Maul's future on the series, and the menace of the Sith.
Here's an excerpt from the interview:
HW: With what we now know from the follow-up, "Shades of Reason," it's pretty much a given that Maul and Pre Vizsla were playing each other the whole time, right?
SW: Oh, from the beginning for sure. Look at Pre Vizsla�s face when Maul starts choking Katee Sackhoff�s character Bo Katan. He has this look on his face like he was hoping something like this would happen. And when Maul leaves the room, Vizsla and Katan exchange a look like, �Yeah, this is our guy.� The way I read that is that they�re realizing that if they want to retake Mandalore they have to have the Force on their side, because Satine is supported by her old boyfriend, Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi. So how the hell do they counter that?
Click here
to read the whole interview.
"The Lawless"
, which will feature more great Maul action, airs tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. ET on Cartoon Network.
