Morningside College and the Sioux City Community School District (SCCSD) announced today that the Roberts Stadium proposal under consideration now guarantees that the current use of the stadium will continue "in perpetuity."
At issue is a term of the proposal that was intended to protect the interests of the school district in the event that the college would not have need of Roberts Stadium at any time after the initial 20-year period.
"Both the college and the school district have been listening to concerns about this clause," said Morningside President John Reynders. "I want to reassure the community that the college has never had the intention to alter the use of Roberts Stadium from its current use. On the contrary, our donor wants to improve the facility in order to ensure its continued and perpetual use as a top-notch athletic stadium, and he wants to do this to benefit all the students who use the stadium. This proposal is truly intended by the donor to be a 'win-win-win' situation for the community, the school district, and the college."
The college's private donor has pledged $2.35 million for improvements to Roberts Stadium if the SCCSD transfers title to the college. Reynders said that title transfer is necessary because the donor wants the college to take responsibility for the continued maintenance of the stadium and the surrounding grounds.
SCCSD Superintendent Larry Williams said, "The dominant concern of the community seems to be the long-term use of Roberts Stadium, and we have sought to address this matter in a new way. Attorneys for both the college and the school district recommended finding a simpler way to secure the original intent."
The proposal's new clause, which will be reflected in the legal document, guarantees the following:
* Current use of the stadium will continue in perpetuity.
* To honor that intent, if Morningside College were to decide at any time that it no longer has use for Roberts Stadium as it is currently used, Morningside College will deed the stadium back to the SCCSD for $1, assuming that the school district chooses to take it back.
* If the school district were then to decide to sell Roberts Stadium, Morningside College will have the right of first refusal.
This clause replaces the term in the proposal that read: "At any time after the first 20 years, if the college would elect to change the use of the property, the college will give the school district a five-year notice of its intention. In that event, the college would allow the district to buy the stadium back for $1 or would pay the district $2.5 million."
Williams and college officials are hoping that the college's new guarantee will provide the breakthrough that allows the proposal to move forward.
"The college had wanted to be underway with improvements this summer," said Williams. "That won't happen unless the board brings this matter to conclusion by early April."
As part of the proposal, Morningside College has pledged to begin renovations on the bleachers and lighting this summer, if time allows. These renovations were listed as priority items in an October 2002 study conducted by Schroder Engineering of Sioux City.
The college and the school district will make the final legal draft of the proposal available to the public as soon as it is completed.
For more information about the proposal, please visit the college's Web site at www.morningside.edu or call 712-274-5320.

Other selections on the program will include Leonard Bernstein's "Overture to 'Candide,'" Robert Russell Bennett's "Suite of Old American Dances," Robert W. Smith's "Spirit of Orpheus: A Sinfonian Celebration," and selections from Charles Strouse's "Annie."
Benjamin, a native of Spencer, Iowa, will teach a trumpet master class that Saturday morning at 10 a.m. in Eppley Auditorium. The class, sponsored by Bach Instrument Company and Ray's Mid-Bell Music, is free of charge and open to the public. Persons interested in attending the class should contact Wood by phone at 712-274-5217 or by e-mail at email@example.com.

He is a former member of the Rochester Philharmonic.
Wood, a member of Morningside's faculty since 1998, is a 1989 graduate of the University of Illinois. He received a master of music degree from the University of Wisconsin and a doctorate in trumpet performance from the University of Indiana. Wood is in demand throughout the Midwest as a soloist, conductor, clinician, and adjudicator. He plays trumpet in the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra and Brass Quintet.

Morningside College will celebrate Black History Month with "African-American Voices" during a special Friday Is Writing Day (FIWD) on Friday, Feb. 20, at noon in the Randolph Room of the Olsen Student Center, 3609 Peters Avenue.
The public is invited to the free event, which is also sponsored by Morningside's Academic and Cultural Arts Series (ACAS).
The event will acknowledge the black writer's contributions to American literature. Several Morningside students will read selections written by African-American poets, lyricists, and national icons.
The students who will participate include Chris Cox, a senior from Bronx, N.Y.; Gretna Sanchez, a junior from Bronx, N.Y.; TaRae Evans, a junior from Sioux City; and Amanda Leu, a junior from Spencer, Iowa.
They will read selections from "The American Slave Narratives," from writings during the time period of the Harlem Renaissance, and from authors such as Langston Hughes and Iyanla Vanzant.
The FIWD series is held almost every Friday at noon throughout the school year. The series, in its 16th year, was designed to feature writers and their works, from journals to published pieces. Writers of all types from the campus and community read their work, followed by informal discussions of the writings.
"Sex Signals," a show featuring a unique combination of improvisational comedy, education, and audience participation, will play at Morningside College on Wednesday, Feb. 18, at 10 a.m. in Klinger-Neal Theatre, 3700 Peters Avenue.
The public is invited to the free event, which is sponsored by Morningside's Academic and Cultural Arts Series (ACAS) and the Morningside Activities Council.
"Sex Signals" deals with the issues of dating, sex, and date rape on college campuses. The show explores how mixed messages, gender role stereotypes, and unrealistic fantasies lead to misunderstandings between the sexes. The show uses humor throughout to draw audiences into candid discussions about interpersonal relationships.
The show was first produced as "The Sensitive Swashbuckler & Other Dating Myths" at Chicago's Stage Left Theatre. It has since been performed at over 200 colleges and universities and has become one of the most popular programs on sexual assault awareness among college audiences and educators. The show was recently nominated for the Speaker of the Year award by the readers of Campus Activities Magazine.
The show's 2004 tour is booked through Catharsis Productions and includes five two-person teams. The team of Amber Kelly and Christian Murphy will present the performance at Morningside.
Kelly, a graduate of Texas Wesleyan University, currently resides in New York City and has been a lead actress in "Sex Signals" since 2003. She received acclaim for her portrayal of Elizabeth in "Six Degrees of Separation" staged by Theatre Arlington in Arlington, Texas.
Murphy co-founded Catharsis Productions in 2000 as a company dedicated to creating educational programs that address important social issues through the use of theatrical techniques. Murphy, the artistic director for the company, is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame. He has over 15 years of professional acting experience and is currently a member of the ensemble for Factory Theater in Chicago. Also a playwright, Murphy's one-man show, "Meditations," won the 1998 Factory Theater Shut Up and Laugh! One-Act Play Festival.
Morningside College students will examine a variety of products to see if their advertising claims are legitimate during "Good or Bad Science: How Can You Tell?" on Wednesday, Feb. 11, at 10 a.m. in the Randolph Room of the Olsen Student Center, 3609 Peters Avenue.
The public is invited to the free event, which is sponsored by Morningside's Academic and Cultural Arts Series (ACAS).
"The event will be a free wheeling look at how thoughtful persons evaluate the worth of scientific investigations, which students will then emulate by evaluating topics of their own," said Dr. Roland Stout, associate professor of biology and chemistry at Morningside and the coordinator of the event.
The event will begin with a panel discussion among several members of the Morningside faculty, followed by opinions from students, about President Bush's proposal for a manned mission to Mars and whether the mission represents good or bad science. The faculty members who will participate in the discussion are Dr. Patrick McKinley, associate professor of history and political science; Dr. Thomas Gilbert, professor of philosophy; Dr. Larry Martin, associate professor and division chair of natural sciences and mathematics; and Dr. Gary Turner, assistant professor of mathematical sciences.
Following the discussion of the proposed mission to Mars, the students will open sealed envelopes at their tables which will contain information regarding a product. The students will be asked to consider the information and determine whether the product is legitimate or not. The products will include such things as weight loss diets, laundry disks to replace detergent, magnets used as pain relievers, gas mileage increasing products, and others.

Which team will show up today? Will we get the team that took apart the Blues on Thursday or the one who got outplayed by Calgary on Tuesday? Are we looking at the team that dropped the Stars 4-1 or the one that fell to the Stars 2-1?
I'm looking forward to finding out. The Oilers have a young crop of forwards who are fast and a lot of fun to watch. They also have a defense that gives up a lot of shots, which makes sustained success difficult. Hopefully the lack of Bertuzzi won't hurt the Wings too much.
It's a live thread. Anything goes unless it doesn't.
Let's go Red Wings!

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to nortriptyline: compounding powder, oral capsule, oral solution
Nervous system
Nearly all selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, mixed serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and tricyclic antidepressants cause sleep abnormalities to some extent. These antidepressants have marked dose-dependent effects on rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, causing reductions in the overall amount of REM sleep over the night and delays the first entry into REM sleep (increased REM sleep onset latency (ROL)), both in healthy subjects and depressed patients. The antidepressants that increase serotonin function appear to have the greatest effect on REM sleep. The reduction in REM sleep is greatest early in treatment, but gradually returns towards baseline during long-term therapy; however, ROL remains long. Following discontinuation of therapy the amount of REM sleep tends to rebound. Some of these drugs (i.e., bupropion, mirtazapine, nefazodone, trazodone, trimipramine) appear to have a modest or minimal effect on REM sleep.
Nervous system side effects have been common. Although nortriptyline is one of the least sedating tricyclic antidepressants, drowsiness has been reported. General stimulation (manifested by insomnia and subjective and objective evidence of increased activity) has been reported. Dizziness, sleep abnormalities, myoclonus, and cognitive impairment (especially in the elderly) have also been reported.
One study has suggested that use of parasympathomimetic agents, such as bethanechol chloride, may ameliorate some of the anticholinergic effects of nortriptyline, particularly in elderly patients.
Other side effects have included anticholinergic effects such as dry mouth, blurry vision, constipation, and urinary retention which have been reported frequently.
Both antiarrhythmic and proarrhythmic effects have been reported in association with nortriptyline therapy. Caution should be exercised if nortriptyline must be used in patients with cardiovascular disease.
One study has found a the relative risk of myocardial infarction to be 2.2 times greater in patients receiving tricyclic antidepressants including nortriptyline.
Cardiovascular side effects have included orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, syncope, PR interval prolongation, bundle branch blocks, and ventricular arrhythmias.
General side effects have included weight gain which has been frequently associated with the use of nortriptyline.
Endocrine side effects have been uncommon. Increased insulin sensitivity and hyponatremia (in association with SIADH) have been reported.
Gastrointestinal side effects have most frequently included constipation and dry mouth. Diarrhea and vomiting have also been reported.
Although nortriptyline is not addicting, physical symptoms of withdrawal after abrupt discontinuation of tricyclic antidepressants have occurred. (Withdrawal from nortriptyline, however, has been reported less frequently than with other tricyclics.)
Hematologic side effects have been rare. A case of reversible neutropenia has been associated with the use of this drug.
Respiratory system side effects have been rare. A case report has suggested that nortriptyline may depress CO2 sensitivity and ventilatory control in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Hepatic side effects have included case reports of hepatotoxicity associated with the use of nortriptyline. A case of fulminant hepatic failure has also been reported.

Public Housing Residents in NYC Stuck Without Power Since Hurricane Sandy
Public housing residents in Queens, Brooklyn still without power
Thousands in New York are still without electricity and basic necessities; half of them are living in public housing.
Nearly two weeks have passed since Hurricane Sandy devastated the city of New York and the surrounding area, leaving hundreds of thousands without city services. Today the New York Post reports that half of the New Yorkers still without heat, hot water or power are in public housing.
Hundreds of New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) buildings across Brooklyn and in Far Rockaway, Queens, were affected, with some 35,000 residents boiling water for baths, being forced inside when the sun goes down and using the bathroom in buckets.
[ALSO READ:Hurricane Sandy Grows Stronger On East Coast, Obama Declares Emergency]
They say NYCHA has barely been visible.
"We have seen nobody," said a furious Diedre Jackson of Surfside Houses in Coney Island, whose apartment was still frigid and dark Friday.
[ALSO READ:Nor'Easter Forces Mass Evacuations, Flight Cancelations in N.Y., N.J.]
Dozens of tenants in the areas told the Daily News last week that the few NYCHA workers they saw in the aftermath of the storm offered neither information nor help.

Sir James Tillie was, by all accounts, a slightly strange chap. An eccentric Cornish landowner, he had a rather unique burial after his death, and to this day the location of his final resting place is a myth. Grave robbers need not fear, however; a new restoration of his mausoleum looks set to reveal the location of Britain's most eccentric and elusive corpse. Read More >>
The rising death rate in Japan has lengthened the average wait for cremation to roughly four days. That's a long 96 hours to let you lay there and ripen. So what do you do after shuffling off this mortal coil? You get yourself to a corpse hotel, obviously. Read More >>

My grandfathers taught me to respect the Earth. I have created award winning gardens, innovative programs (Betty Ford Alpine Gardens in Vail and the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies in Homer, AK), taken risks (freestyle aerialist and Air Castles hot air balloon champagne flight service in Boulder), pioneered new paths (one of the first women attending US Air Force Academy, and dug deep within (Lifespring councilor, Conscious Evolution guide, Social Synergy, tribal native spiritual ecology) all characterize paths of knowing, the soul serenity found in wild places. Bringing young leaders to WILD9, 9th World Wilderness Congress, infused an urgency, lightheartedness and idealism to save at least half of Earth's wilds. I am honored to offer my talent, treasure, relations to preserve Earth for my son's sons' 7 generations to come. 1. At the United States Air Force Academy, I was ranked 11 out of 1500 mostly make cadets, being in the second class of women, in the first year, free-fall parachuted, taught land navigation, was the squadron flag bearer, was in the first squad of cheerleaders, have a dozen hours in a Cessna T-37 Screaming Mimi, and sang in the choir in the beautiful stained glass Chapel. Nominated by then Senator Les Aspin of Wisconsin, then became Secretary of Defense. Thank you for taking a risk on a bright-eyed Wisconsin girl!
2. Lake Geneva, Wisconsin is where I come from and my family still calls home. I am the oldest of 5 kids.I ran a family business at age 12.
3. I competed in aerials in skiing and was going for the 1988 Olympics in Calgary. Former team mate Melanie Pelanek, from Winter Park, got the spot and won the Gold Medal. Go Freestyle Team USA!
4. I was an exchange student in Barcelona, Spain and Cordova, Argentina. Thanks to my host families there. I love the Latin culture!
5. My Mom taught me I could be/do/have anything I wanted in life. Can do! I miss you mom.
6. I designed my Alaskan house, and have been a Frank Lloyd Wright fan since sitting in the Lake Geneva library as a girl over looking the changes weather had on the water.
7. While my son's athletic ability in golf, skiing, soccer, fly fishing inspires and amazes me, it was his speech at WILD9, 9th World Wilderness Congress in Merida, Mexico that has so far made me proudest of him. Now he is declaring a life path of being a pro golfer-extremely tough emotional road. Go McKenzy! He also won a Jefferson award and Ashoka's Technology 4 a Better World national competition. Now he is coding the first teen TEDxHomer app-at 15.
8. I am a grandmother to both a 19 year old and a 9 year old.
9. Skiing makes me sublimely happy! Back Bowls of Vail's 6,000 acres is my happy place. Greetings to Vail Resorts for providing world class skiing!
10. HaberVision.com, our high end polarized sunglass company, provides charities with sustainable streams of funding through easily placed links on their websites. Contact us.
11. Earth stewardship makes me wild, serving on: WILD Foundation,
Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies, Vail Alpine Garden Foundation. I cofounded Sustainable Homer. I am bringing TEDx events to Homer, Alaska and Vail, Colorado.
12. I believe and support youth philanthropy! Go WILD10 teens, Ecologicals, and TEDxHomer Teens!
13. I mentored an amazing citizen journalist from Uganda, Beatrice Achieng Nas, through World Pulse's Voices Rising. She was one of 3 speakers for their 10th. I am grateful to all those in WP! I also serve as a mentor to the Women Leaders Forum. Go Young Women Ambassadors!
14. My first car was a turquoise Buick Wildcat. We replaced the front bench seat with 3 green leather cushions with roller wheels and put black and white zebra striped furry fabric inside. My sporty USAFA car: chocolate Datsun 280 ZX. My current car Audi A5.
15. I voted for both Sarah Palin for Governor of Alaska, to replace Frank Murkowski who had a 17% approval rating, and campaigned for President Barack Obama. I consider myself fiscally conservative (read not big governmental programs-but grassroots grown & community scaled) and socially liberal.
16. I curate TEDxHomer in Alaska. Our TEDxHomer team and teens make it memorable, fun, and creative. Thanks TEDxy's! Hopefully we TEDxHomer volunteers have mentored sufficiently for the TEDxHomer Teens to fledge for TEDxYouth@Homer2012:Let's Play completely produced by/for teens.

Holistic solution to energy/ecology/education/economic systems. Call for all hands on deck radically linking everyone in a Citizen's Solution Council. The key to one can be the key to all. Local solutions with global impact fed back into an internet based exchange of solutions. Nature thrives when it continuously feeds back survivability clues back into its systems. Putting teens into global conferences so that decisions being made will take into account their ideas and the state of the world we are leaving them. Let's turn ordinary teens into Xtraordinary contributors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEpR-lq85bI

An associate, while developing the 9th Word Wilderness Congress, mentioned how powerful she thought TED was. I investigated when I learned 2009 TED Active would be in Palm Springs, where I live in the winter, would host. These ideas ignited such excitement that I brought TEDX to Homer, Alaska where we live. Go TED! TEDxHomer teens made the digital divide passable from the beginning. For TEDxHomer2010:Sustain US they won Ashoka's Technology for a Better World national competition with 4 other teams from all parts of the country. McKenzy, at 14, was given a chance to give a plea to hundreds to support TEDxYouth events throughout the US when he was given a Jefferson Award for community service to America. Positive solutions become apparent at deep levels when ideas worth spreading are shared with the world live and online. Now the teens are fledging and expanding into tools for other teens to organize their own events, dishing up delicious digital desserts for TEDxYouth.

Degree Requirements
Requirements for the Ph.D. degree include a broad knowledge of gene regulation, biochemistry, molecular biology and developmental biology. These are acquired through coursework, three 10-week laboratory rotations during the first year, participation in research seminars and journal clubs, and a dissertation research project. The rotations expose students to a variety of experimental approaches and assist them in the selection of their research advisor. After satisfactorily completing a written and oral off-topic candidacy exam, students advance to candidacy and concentrate on completing their dissertation research. Time to graduation is generally five to six years.
More information on G&D curriculum and Ph.D. candidacy can be found on the Curriculum page.
Program Activities
We provide our students with many opportunities to develop their experimental reasoning and communications skills, further their core scientific knowledge and establish important scientific contacts for their future. Program activities include:
- Weekly research seminars and journal clubs where students present their research project or discuss recent advances described in the current literature.
- Weekly Blaffer Lecture Series featuring Nobel Laureates and prominent scientists from around the world who are invited to speak about their latest research, and also meet with G&D students over lunch.
- Annual Retreat in the Texas piney woods or hill country. The retreat includes research talks, poster sessions, breakout sessions, and free time for informal discussion and fun. It's one of the highlights of the year!
- G&D Directors' Roundtables, Career Dialog Series, hands-on bioinformatics workshops, faculty/student dinners, and other events that bring faculty and students together for a mix of scientific, career and social exchange.
The G&D faculty is a diverse group leading internationally recognized research programs. Many have leadership positions in the scientific community, including editorial responsibilities for major scientific journals, memberships on advisory boards and NIH and NSF peer-review panels, and organizers of national and international meetings. Detailed faculty research and biographical information can be found on the Faculty page.
Our 40 graduate students from the U.S. and around the world publish in top journals such as Nature, Science, Cell, Cancer Cell, Nature Genetics, and Nature Cell Biology, and many obtain prestigious fellowships during their studies. G&D alumni are now tenure-track faculty at top-tier academic institutions, including Yale, UC San Francisco, Rice and many more. Other graduates have pursued non-academic careers in biotech, government service, patent law and technology licensing.
Research Facilities
The G&D Program, the Department of Genetics and the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology are located in the Mitchell Basic Sciences Research Building at MD Anderson. The building also houses all graduate school administrative offices and classrooms.
Extensive resources are available to pursue biochemical, molecular, cell and developmental biological experiments:
- State-of-the-art microscopy and digital imaging resources
- DNA analysis core facility
- Microarray facility
- Genome analyzers for ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq, and methylation sequencing studies
- Genetically engineered mouse facility
- 122,000 sq. ft. vivarium
Structural biology resources include:
- Fluorescence spectroscopy
- Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy
- Dynamic light scattering
- Circular dichroism spectroscopy
- Surface plasmon resonance (Biacore)
In addition, our close physical proximity to neighboring institutions in the Texas Medical Center fosters collaborations with colleagues at Baylor College of Medicine, The University of Texas Health Sciences Center, Rice University and Texas A&M's Institute of Biosciences and Technology.
Students interested in the G&D Program must first apply to, and be admitted by, GSBS. Here, admissions differs from many graduate schools in that students are admitted to the graduate school and not to a particular program or department. Students generally join a program at the end of the first year, after completing three 10-week laboratory tutorials and selecting their thesis advisor; no additional G&D Program application is required.
Graduate school admissions information, deadlines, and online applications are available on the GSBS Web site.
Financial Support and Stipends
All G&D students receive full financial support throughout their training, which includes tuition, fees and stipend; the 2012-2013 stipend level is $29,000. Annual competitive awards are also available for outstanding research projects and posters, and to support student travel to scientific meetings. Visit the GSBS Financial Assistance Web page for stipend levels and other information about fellowships and scholarships.

Just last week, we posted a new 'Meet the Tutors' video for our 3D for Online Tutor, Paul Harrison. It was met with serious positivity on Facebook and Twitter,
What are your tips and tricks?
Hello loyal readers, A P Miles here with sad, sad news. It seems that I've bucked the trend and decided to catch the winter cold rather early, turning my normally deep and soothing voice into a growley, crackly mess, and increasing the pressure in my head to somewhere close to 500 fathoms deep.
This week on YouTube...Part 2!
I hope you've slept well, Internet! It's been too long since we spoke. Shall we get a coffee and catch up?
Escape Studios Webinar - What is VFX? With Mark Spevick .
In our next webinar we'll be uploading to YouTube, our very own Head of 3D and VFX Tutor, Mark Spevick, will be revealing some of the secrets at the heart of VFX.
Escape Studios FTW!
Happy Friday everyone! May the woo be with you. There's a good vibe in the office this morning as we sail towards August bank holiday; the sun is shining, birds are swaying, trees are singing. I might even go for a walk later.
Tell us about 2D!
Now and then we like to call upon our wonderfully gifted tutors to dispatch their invaluable knowledge to potential VFX artists across the world, in the form of an online webinar.
Yet another killer update from Zbrush!
Pixologic just last week released yet ANOTHER free update to Zbrush, it's called 'Zbrush4r6', and to be honest It still amazes me that they are able to provide such innovative updates for free, especially as this one is nothing short of game changing!
Origami Anatomy!
Made a 3d model lately? Try downloading some of these templates... then print them out (yes, onto paper) and with a good old fashioned combination of glue and patience, you too can make these awesome sculptures of the anatomy human body.
Alessio Bertotti @ Pixomondo Hamburg
Escapee Alessio Bertotti answers some questions on VFX and tells us about his time at Pixomondo Hamburg.
Creator of VFX Youtube channel 'deepfriedectoplasm' takes on Escape Taster Course!
Acquiring some VFX skills is a natural path for most people who are currently using all the great tools we have today for video/film production and editing. The technology has matured to the point where we (the average single graphics guy or gal) use it almost on a daily basis.
Make it Polycount
As a 3D lover I am also a regular frequenter of Polycount. Some of you out there will no doubt already be familiar with this site, but for those that aren't – it's a community of pros and hobbyists that specialise in creating 3D for videogames, and it is always brimming with infatuating content.
VFX on your tablet!
Cinefex, the long standing centre of behind the scenes VFX information is now finally available on the iPad and online, check out the free copy of issue 127.
Tuesday Tips & Tricks!
What's up guys, Ash here, welcome to the first episode of Escape Studios Tips' and Tricks video series!
Guess Who?
Although we can't unveil the name of the top secret industry speaker at our next Academy Tour (on the 6th of March) I insisted that we dispatch a couple of 'Guess Who?' Q&A's to get your minds racing, exciting!
We're going through ch-ch-ch-ch-changes...
If you're a regular through our doors then you might have noticed a few changes. Here at Escape HQ we've been busy building, painting, schlepping, and revamping our office area, studios and break out space for a new and rather fresh look. There's still quite a few bits and bobs to do but here's a look at what we were then and what we are now...
Make 2013 your own! New course dates launched
2013 is set to be a massive year for film, (take a look at our recent blog post to see what cinematic delights we're yet to sink out teeth into) so why not make it a massive year in film for you too?
Hoth in your front room.
This rather charismatic chap called Barry has made his very own diorama model of the battle sequence on ice planet Hoth, from the Empire Strikes Back.
Escape this Summer
While the days are cold, the nights are long, and we've seen the back of Christmas and New Year festivities, at one point or another, we all find ourselves daydreaming about the return of the summer sun. The smell of sun cream, the call of the beach, and the excuse to whack on a pair of shades, making ourselves look AT LEAST 20% cooler, is but a dream away at this, the tail end of January.
Total Rigging in Total Recall: Webinar
On 7th of February 2013, Escape HQ will be welcoming Jakub Krompolc, who is head of rigging at London's Prime Focus world.

Consumption of red and processed meats increases the risk of bladder cancer, according to a new study. Researchers looked at 300,933 men and women and found that those who consumed the most red meat had a 22 percent increased risk of bladder cancer, compared with those who ate the least. Consumption of nitrites and nitrates, compounds used for preserving, coloring, and flavoring processed meats, was associated with a 28 to 29 percent increased risk at highest intake levels. PhIP, a chemical commonly found in grilled chicken and other meats heated to a sufficient degree, was associated with a 19 percent increased risk of bladder cancer. Participants were part of the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study and were included in a 7-year follow up.
PhIP has been linked to numerous cancers in humans, including breast, colon, and prostate. Nitrites and nitrates have long been recognized as potent carcinogens.

Natural Factors Biosil® -- 1 fl oz
Great for skin and hair
I've been using this for years and I believe my skin reflect it with minimal wrinkling. Vitacost has a better price than retail vitamin stores on this.
August 9, 2013
Works well, however it takes a while to start seeing results-took about 6 mos for me but I am definitely happy with it.
December 18, 2012
Wow...where have you been all my life?
This stuff is awesome, my nails are stronger and growing beautifully...I'm not sure about my hair though, it's better than before, but it's still falling out.
December 7, 2012
Good for hair, nails and bones
This is a great product and will continue using it.

Restored my hair.
I'm a 40 year old woman who has been hearing statements from hairdressers for years to the effect of "watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat" about making my hair thickness look normal. No more. My hair is THICK after 3 months of use. And my hairline has filled in on the sides and creeped forward a bit as well. Could not ask for more!

Were different! Unlike most speaker companies that package together five random speakers and a subwoofer and call it a matched Home Theater System, we design, engineer, and build integrated multi-channel speaker systems.
Read Atlantic Technolgy's philosophy on high-end speaker design!
Four Things a Home Theater System Must Provide
We know that a matched Home Theater speaker system must deliver Four Things in order to be successful.
First, you need to understand what role each speaker plays in the system.
The left and right speakers primary responsibility is music and off-screen sound effects. Whether its a Home Theater system or an old-fashioned 2-channel stereo music system (Remember those? How quaint.), the left-right speakers need to be accurate, neutral-sounding, and be able to play loudly without strain. They also need to have good side-to-side sound coverage of the listening area (have good dispersion).
The center channel speaker actually handles as much as 80% of the movies soundtrack as it conveys virtually all the dialog and on-screen effects in the movie. From a speaker designers standpoint, the important part is getting this speaker to sound just like the left-right speakers.
Thats hard. Why, you ask?
Two Main Reasons
The way that Atlantic gets around all these complications is by paying close engineering attention to the way the drivers (the woofers and tweeters) are physically laid out on the speakers front baffles, and by providing sound adjustment controls to compensate for the speakers location. Additionally, all of our center channel speakers have a unique rotating base that lets you aim them right at the listening position.
Were not aware of any other companies that address these real-world problems the way we do.
This kind of practical, clever, down-to-earth approach is the way we do things.
Were fast on our feet here at Atlantic. We think differently. Were not afraid to try a new approach, even if its unconventional. Most importantly, we look at products as if we were the end customer: Does it sound great? Is it easy to install? Can we understand the darned instruction manual?
This is our design philosophy: great-sounding stuff, easy to use and install, with an eye to handling real-world problems.
Like our stuff? Dont like our stuff? Comments, suggestions, criticisms, compliments? Give us a call. We answer the phone and call people back. Were just like you. Really. (Except that we know what strange terms like directivity index and intermodulation distortion mean. Other than that, were just like you.)

Development | JSON-RPC API |
JSON-RPC API: Overview ★ v2 (Dharma) ★ v4 (Eden) ★ v6 (Frodo) |
JSON-RPC is a HTTP- and/or raw TCP socket-based interface for communicating with XBMC. It replaces the soon-to-be-depreceated deprecated HTTP API, and offers a more secure and robust mechanism in the same format. It is based upon the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification.
Each method in the interface can have different security needs which means one client may be allowed to only control playback while another can only read and manipulate the library. In version 2 (first stable) and 4 all clients are granted full authority but will later be forced to ask for privileges and the user of XBMC will have to grant said client access. The design of JSON-RPC is that most methods should behave roughly the same and maintain consistency while hiding the mechanics of XBMC from the client creator.
In XBMC JSON-RPC can be accessed over a variety of transports and has been designed from the ground up to be flexible to allow control over new transports easily. Some of the transports have different limitations which will be enforced upon the interaction over that transport. As an example HTTP transports allow response and downloading of files while the raw TCP transport allows response and notifications (events and information XBMC sends to its clients). Depending on the client's needs it will choose one (or many) of the available transports.
Contents |
1 Enabling JSON-RPC
Since the interface is available on many transports enabling it depends on the transport.
- Python: Always enabled
- HTTP: In System/Settings/Network/Services activate Allow control of XBMC via HTTP (see Enabling the webserver)
- TCP: In System/Settings/Network/Services activate Allow programs on this system to control XBMC for localhost access only and Allow programs on other systems to control XBMC for access from other computers as well
Note: The EventServer is a different interface for sending remote keypresses to XBMC, and must be enabled separately, some programs may use both interfaces.
2 Transports & Functionalities
2.1 Transports
2.1.1 Python
The Python transport can only be used by XBMC addons through the executeJSONRPC method provided by the xbmc python library. As it must be available to every addon in an XBMC installation it must not be enabled or disabled by the user.
The HTTP transport can be used by third-party applications running on the same machine as XBMC or on a different machine which can access the machine running XBMC using the HTTP protocol. Because this transport allows applications outside XBMC to control XBMC, it has to be manually enabled (see Enabling JSON-RPC) by the user.
Third-party applications can access XBMC's JSON-RPC API by sending JSON-RPC requests embedded in HTTP POST requests to the following URL
Starting with Frodo nightly builds it is mandatory to set the HTTP header field Content-Type: application/json
Third-party application can access XBMC's JSON-RPC API by sending JSON-RPC requests embedded in a HTTP GET parameter called request. The JSON-RPC request must be URL encoded and sent to the following URL
The TCP transport can be used by third-party applications running on the same machine as XBMC or on a different machine which can access the machine running XBMC using the TCP protocol. Because this transport allows applications outside XBMC to control XBMC it has to be manually enabled (see Enabling JSON-RPC) by the user. Once enabled, third-party applications can access XBMC's JSON-RPC API by opening a TCP socket on port 9090 (this port can be configured in the advanced settings file) and sending raw JSON-RPC requests over that socket. Please note that no delimiters are provided in between notifications and/or responses. As such, your client needs to be able to deal with this, eg. by counting and matching curly braces ({}).
2.1.4 WebSocket
The WebSocket transport has been added since Version 5 and can be used by third-party applications running on the same machine as XBMC or on a different machine which can access the machine running XBMC using the Websocket protocol. The supported versions are 8 (draft hybi-10) and 13 (RFC 6455). Because this transport allows applications outside XBMC to control XBMC it has to be manually enabled (see Enabling JSON-RPC) by the user. Once enabled, third-party applications can access XBMC's JSON-RPC API by sending a WebSocket protocol handshake to the following URI
ws://<your-ip>:<configured tcp port>/jsonrpc
It is important to send the handshake on the port of XBMC's TCP server (by default 9090, but this port can be configured in the advanced settings file). After having successfully finished the handshake third-party applications can send WebSocket protocl messages over that connection.
2.2 Functionalities
2.2.1 Response
The Response functionality is the only functionality that should be present in every transport available as it describes the functionality to respond to a JSON-RPC request with a valid JSON-RPC response (be it an error message or an actual response).
2.2.2 Notifications
The Notifications functionality includes both server-side (from the server to clients) and client-side (from clients to the server) notifications. A JSON-RPC notification is a valid JSON-RPC request with no id property. Following the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification any JSON-RPC request with no id must be considered as a notification and the receiver must not send a response upon a notification.
In the specific case of XBMC, server-side notifications are used to inform clients about certain events to relieve clients of the need to periodically poll for certain events. Furthermore there are two ways of client-side notifications. Using JSONRPC.NotifyAll it is possible to ask XBMC to relay the message in the JSON-RPC request to all other connected clients. The second way is to send JSON-RPC requests without an id property in case the client does not care about the response (e.g. the method Player.Stop does not return any useful information to the client).
2.2.3 Direct file download
The Direct file download functionality is the ability to directly download files from XBMC by calling Files.Download. In this case the term direct means that the download happens within the JSON-RPC response of the Files.Download request.
2.2.4 Redirected file download
The Redirected file download functionality is the ability to indirectly download files from XBMC by calling Files.PrepareDownload and using the data received in the response to download the file over a different protocol (like HTTP, FTP ...) or another socket. As the Redirected file download is very transport specific, it must be handled separately for every transport supporting it.
2.3 Comparison
The following table shows all the available transports and what functionalities they support
Transport | Response | Notifications | Direct file download |
Redirected file download | |
Python | Yes | No | No | No | |
TCP | Yes | Yes | No | No | |
HTTP | POST | Yes | No | No | Yes |
GET1 | Yes | No | No | Yes | |
WebSocket1 | Yes | Yes | No | No |
1 Added in Version 5
3 API versions
The JSON-RPC API exposed by XBMC is constantly extended to provide better and more functionality to third party applications. For that reason XBMC provides a version information through the JSONRPC.Version method. The rule is that odd version numbers describe an API state, that is not stable and under heavy development whereas even version numbers describe a stable API. Therefore the version number can be used by third-party clients to check if their application might not be fully compatible with the JSON-RPC API exposed by a user's XBMC installation.

API Version | Version | Name | Method calls | Notifications (server-side) |
Notifications (client-side) |
Parameters by-name |
Parameters by-position |
Batch requests | Python | TCP | HTTP POST | HTTP GET | WebSocket |
Version 2 | 10.0 / 10.1 | Dharma | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |
Version 3 / 4 | (pre) 11.0 | (pre) Eden | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |
Version 5 / 6 | (pre) 12.0 | (pre) Frodo | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
4 Documentation
XBMC's JSON-RPC API has been designed to be self-documented i.e. a call to JSONRPC.Introspect results in a JSON-RPC response containing a documentation for all the available methods and data types. While this documentation is very incomplete and partly wrong for version 2 it is provided as a full JSON schema starting with version 3. As the documentation retrieved in that way is always specific to the used version of XBMC, it is (especially for development versions) the best documentation available and should be preferred over the wiki documentation as the latter always documents the API of the latest development.
5 Debugging
5.1 Output format
To be able to support easier debugging of (third-party) development using the JSON-RPC API, the JSON output generated by XBMC can be pretty-printed by setting
<jsonrpc> <compactoutput>false</compactoutput> </jsonrpc>
in the advancedsettings.xml. Default JSON output will be in compact format to minimize sent data (especially useful for mobile devices).
5.2 Direct interaction
To be able to test some methods of XBMC's JSON-RPC API, it can be of great help to be able to send a single hand-written JSON-RPC request to XBMC to see its effect and the generated response. Depending on the transport protocol used there are different possibilities to do that:
With a telnet connection (using PuTTY on Windows or telnet on Linux) to port 9090 of the machine running XBMC it is possible to send and receive raw json data to/from XBMC.5.2.2 HTTP
A simple way of manually sending HTTP requests containing a JSON-RPC request to XBMC is using the Simple REST Client extension for Google's Chrome/Chromium browser. It allows defining a URL and the HTTP request type (POST is what we need). The actual JSON-RPC request can be defined in the Data field and then sent to XBMC.

Lesson Plan
Other Lesson Plans
Introductory Lecture and Objectives
Introductory Lecture
In 1993, when To Kill a Mockingbird had been in print for 33 years straight, author Harper Lee was asked to write an introduction to accompany a new anniversary edition of her Pulitzer Prize–winning book. She refused, on the grounds that as a reader she doesn't care for introductions. Sounding as matter-of-fact as Atticus and as spirited as Scout, Harper insists "Mockingbird still says what it has to say; it has managed to survive the years without preamble."
Indeed, Mockingbird still says what it has to say and says it gracefully, intelligently, and with a sly and sustained wit that tempers the lessons imparted by the book, enabling the novel to teach generation after generation the meaning of courage without ever feeling didactic. The characters that populate this novel, from the most minor to the most iconic, remain seared in the public imagination; Atticus reigns as the most noble parent ever brought to life, while Jean Louise—"Scout" to us all—is unforgettable as the precocious, scrappy narrator trying to make sense of the world. Like Scout, Lee was a tomboy in her own right who grew up in a small Alabama town that surely is reflected in the narrator's observations. Her father was an attorney and a member of the state legislature. And as much as Lee might protest, to completely remove To Kill a Mockingbird from the place and time of its birth would serve to cut the contemporary reader off from a critical moment in American history that critically informs the novel.
In the decade preceding the publication of To Kill a Mockingbird, racism was not only rampant but entrenched in the very fabric of society. The civil rights movement was just gaining momentum, with several landmark court cases helping turn the tide. In 1954, Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas launched the desegregation of public schools. The Montgomery Bus Boycott followed in 1955, prompted by Rosa Parks's famous refusal to give up her seat to a white man and her subsequent arrest. Yet that same year saw tragedy when fourteen-year-old Emmett Till was murdered for allegedly whistling at a white woman. In this case, however, instead of Tom Robinson's being convicted of a crime he didn't commit, the all-white jury lost no chance in freeing the two white men who had in fact, as history would prove, murdered a young black boy.
It is what has changed in these intervening years and what sorrowfully remains the same that comprises the core of the dynamic conversation readers still enjoy with Lee's classic. Set in the 1930s, during the searing tyranny of the Great Depression, Maycomb County has little room for compassion; thirty years later laws were changing, but resistance was strong and clear. Though the book was published during a time of great social change pivotal in our civil rights history, modern readers still probe the issues of fairness, justice, and the mutability of human nature with just as much interest and a very clear understanding of the horrors of bigotry. In short, cast through the prism of one small town, the story taps into the most universal truths inherent in our very humanity—innocence, corruption, prejudice, hatred, curiosity, fatalism, respect, courage, and compassion. She has wrapped this all in the gorgeously wrought language and exquisite precision of which only the best writers are capable, allowing Mockingbird to be examined and enjoyed on every level, from literary to legal, while remaining a work of extraordinary pathos and beauty.
By the end of the unit the student will be able to:
1. Explain, using plot points and characters from the book, how the archetype of good versus evil plays out in the novel.
2. Describe the different levels and types of discrimination that occur in the novel, and identify characters that both decry discrimination and perpetrate it.
3. Identify the gothic elements throughout the book, and explain how Lee uses them to set the mood for the book and frame the story.
4. Show Jem's journey from boy to man, and contrast his adolescent ideas and feelings to Scout's relative innocence.
5. Compare the idealized versions of fairness and justice to how these concepts play out both in the novel and in modern life.
6. Identify and discuss how Lee uses symbolism, foreshadowing, motifs, themes, and figurative language in the novel, and to what effect.

In full: My 3rd time and the route the best yet. Worst part was getting out at the finish line. Weather lovely, great support along the route, which I found especially helpful in the Roath Park area.My only grumbles were people walking all across the road (happens in every big race) and the bottlenecks where it slowed to a stop twice. Those parts of the route couldn't cope with 18000 runners.Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Great race for both beginners and more experienced runnersIn full: A most enjoyable race - a bit of road but plenty of cross country. Beautiful scenery on a lovely sunny day. Very friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend it for both beginners and experienced runners.Date of review: September 9, 2012

1987 Silverado 350 TBI header helppp!
Hey I am in a pinch here, I need some headers for my 87 so here is the problem. I have the year that they switched to the TBI intake but did not switch the body style yet. So what my question is... is do i go with the 88-95 headers because its the Throttle body motor or do i go with the 66-87 which i assume is the carb motor headers?!? Ahh I dont want to order and have them wrong because i am thinking about getting them off ebay but i think the 66-87 headers are for the carb 350's but im not sure. Ha any help would be great. Thanks in advance. And i will get pics up as soon as possiable!
04-18-2012, 08:08 PM #2I'm going to take a stab at this. I'm guessing the 67-87 headers would fit in the engine bay better. IIRC the exhaust ports are the same shape and size for the carbed and TBI motors. If I'm wrong forgive me but that's my best knowledge on the subject.

Resize iframe, after content change
I need to include a Wordpress blog in an iframe. Both containing document and WP is on the same domain.
Leaving aside some issues with Firefox, I have got this to work on initial load in Chromium;
Code HTML4Strict:
 <iframe id="wpIframe" src="<?php echo $wpUrl; ?>" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" height="3850px" >

Wrapper has a heigth of 100%.
In the containing document I have this snippet of JavaScript;
Code JavaScript:$("#wpIframe").bind("load", hoydeIframe('wpIframe')); function hoydeIframe(iframeName){ var the_height= document.getElementById(iframeName).contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight; //change the height of the iframe document.getElementById(iframeName).height=the_height + 'px';
I can see in Chromiums dev-tools (F12) that the iframe has had it's height changed.
But, if I now click on an article ("read more") in the iframe, the new content is loaded inside the iframe, but now the iframes height is not changed!
Is there some other event than load that I should also bind the function to?
