Love cycles : the five essential stages of lasting love
August 28, 2014
Carroll, Linda.
Novato, California : New World Library, [2014]
xvi, 228 pages ; 22 cm
"The notions that passion always peters out, that there's a "seven-year itch," and that honeymoons are over once reality sets in are cliche;s with truth to them. But that doesn't mean that long-term love is impossible. As veteran couples therapist Linda Carroll shows, love "cycles," including Doubt and Denial, are part of genuine intimacy, rather than signs of its demise. In fact, asserts Carroll, it is by courageously moving through what comes after the rapturous initial Merge cycle that we get to authentic intimate relationship. As crucial as our willingness to navigate stormy waters of Disillusionment and Decision is embracing the inner personal development that is both a reward of and prerequisite for Wholehearted Loving. The goal, that Carroll demonstrates how to attain, is to become our best self and share that self - joyfully and honestly - with another"-- Provided by publisher.

Powers of two : finding the essence of innovation in creative pairs
August 1, 2014
Shenk, Joshua Wolf.
Boston : Eamon Dolan/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2014.
xxv, 339 pages : illustration ; 24 cm
"Recently writers like Malcolm Gladwell, Steven Johnson, and Clay Shirky have sought to explain creativity as the work of lucky, hardworking people or the result of certain qualities of a particular environment or group of people. Joshua Wolf Shenk shows how such notions, as appealing as they are, miss the essence of creativity, which is generated by people working in pairs. From John Lennon and Paul McCartney to Pierre and Marie Curie to Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Shenk portrays many of history's most iconic creative duos, drawing on new scientific research and building an argument that will reshape our view of the individual, relationships, and society itself. Along the way, he reveals how pairs begin to talk, think, and even look like each other; how the most successful ones thrive on conflict; why they break up; and more. He also marshals new research that suggests how deeply the notion of pairing influences our psyches: even when we're alone, we're collaborating with the voice inside our head. At once intuitive and deeply surprising, Powers of Two is mind-blowing"-- Provided by publisher.

Blue mind : the surprising science that shows how being near, in, on, or under water can make you happier, healthier, more connected and better at what you do
July 29, 2014
Nichols, Wallace J., author.
xviii, 333 pages ; 25 cm

There's something about water that attracts and fascinates us. No wonder: it's the most omnipresent substance on Earth and, along with air, the primary ingredient for supporting life. From afar, our planet looks like a blue marble; we ourselves are three-quarters H₂O. We know instinctively that being near water makes us healthier and happier, reduces stress, and brings us peace. But why? And what might the answer tell us about how we should be living our lives? Now, we can finally answer these questions--and those answers are life-changing. As Wallace Nichols reveals here, we are at the forefront of a wave of neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and medical research that illuminates the physiological and brain processes that underlie our transformative connection to water. Drawing on this breakthrough science, and on compelling personal stories from athletes, scientists, veterans, and artists, Nichols shows how proximity to water can: improve performance in a wide range of fields; increase calm and diminish anxiety much better than medication; amplify creativity--artistic and otherwise; increase generosity and compassion; increase professional success; improve our overall health and well-being; and reinforce our connection to the natural world--and one another.--From publisher description.

Becoming Freud : the making of a psychoanalyst
June 13, 2014
Phillips, Adam, 1964-
New Haven : Yale University Press, 2014.
178 pages ; 22 cm.
Freud's impossible life: an introduction -- Freud from the beginning -- Freud goes to Paris -- Freud begins to dream -- Psychoanalysis comes out.
"Becoming Freud is the story of the young Freud-Freud up until the age of fifty-that incorporates all of Freud's many misgivings about the art of biography. Freud invented a psychological treatment that involved the telling and revising of life stories, but he was himself skeptical of the writing of such stories. In this biography, Adam Phillips, whom the New Yorker calls "Britain's foremost psychoanalytical writer," emphasizes the largely and inevitably undocumented story of Freud's earliest years as the oldest-and favored-son of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and suggests that the psychoanalysis Freud invented was, among many other things, a psychology of the immigrant-increasingly, of course, everybody's status in the modern world. Psychoanalysis was also Freud's way of coming to terms with the fate of the Jews in Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. So as well as incorporating the writings of Freud and his contemporaries, Becoming Freud also uses the work of historians of the Jews in Europe in this significant period in their lives, a period of unprecedented political freedom and mounting persecution. Phillips concludes by speculating what psychoanalysis might have become if Freud had died in 1906, before the emergence of a psychoanalytic movement over which he had to preside"-- Provided by publisher.

About once a week I go food shopping for my mom. Without a doubt, ice cream is the No. 1 item she requests. Bread, milk and chocolate syrup are also high on her list.
My daughter got her first dose of culture last week when my family took advantage of Super Museum Sunday to expand our horizons and learn a bit about regional history.
Editor, I received an email today that inspired me to get more involved in political issues here in Georgia.
Day 15 (Feb. 3) - After a short weekend, we were back in session with three bills on the calendar, including Senate Bill 296, a bill that sets the acreage limit of developable land on Jekyll Island. This bill is the result of many hours of work by the Jekyll Island Authority members and other interested parties and is a great compromise that ensures this coastal gem will continue to be a treasure for many years to come.
It was good to get back to work at the state Capitol after the temporary closure due to recent inclement weather. With St. Patrick's Day about a month away, the House overwhelmingly passed House Bill 784, which I authored, allowing the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday during St. Patrick's Day weekend.
Many of you have written to say you oppose House Bill 875, which would allow weapons in houses of worship and currently is making its way through the Legislature faster than a speeding bullet. I suggest you let the bill's author, Rep. Rick Jasperse, R-Jasper, know, too. Call him at 404-656-0188 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Editor, I'm writing to thank Richmond Hill residents for their generosity in helping thousands of suffering children worldwide this Christmas. Through their efforts, we were able to contribute toward 21,400 shoeboxes collected within the Savannah area - filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items - for Operation Christmas Child, the world's largest Christmas project of its kind.
My 21-month-old daughter, Reese, is sweet, gentle and trusting. My husband and I have gone to great lengths to teach her not to express her emotions through toddler-like acts of violence - hitting, kicking and biting. As a result, she's mild-mannered and happy-go-lucky. So, it's easy to understand why I'd be particularly aggravated at the fact another child at Reese's day care seems to be working hard to undo all of our teachings.
As my sister and I were growing up, it was not unusual to see Mom and Dad dancing the jitterbug through the living room and into the dining room and kitchen … we had a rather small home.
Editor, The annual spring book and yard sale hosted by the Friends of the Richmond Hill Library has been scheduled for Saturday, April 5, 2014.
Every few days, we learn yet one more way in which government's expanded surveillance powers intrude upon our privacy and civil liberties.
She said it, of course, with a smirk. Those women who really don't understand the ways of Southern women seem to always speak about us in words that are vividly cloaked in disdain.
Editor, On behalf of all 170 hospitals across Georgia, I want to express appreciation to Gov. Deal for his steadfast resolve and determination to ensure the safety and welfare of hospital patients and caregivers during last week's icy-road traffic jam.
As we all know, last week was an extremely unusual one in our state.
Editor, In light of the disaster of Obamacare and the needs of our troops in Georgia, I have decided to write this letter about a candidate, Dr. Bob Johnson, who I saw speak at a recent event. At this event, Dr. Johnson spoke articulately about how he plans to fix Obama-care and serve the best interests of this district using his experience as a cancer surgeon and Army Ranger.
I love a good rainstorm - I always have. My mother used to check the weather forecast for thunderstorms because I was fascinated by them and wanted to watch them outside. However, it's not really a good idea to sit outside during a thunderstorm.

The Golden Gate Express™ The Conservatory of Flowers' popular garden railway exhibit will steam back into town for the holidays this year. Last year, visitors were overwhelmingly delighted by the model trains, miniature gardens and especially to the scaled down SF landmark buildings made so cleverly from recycled materials. People were enthralled with the humorous and inventive designs of these and in response we are debuting 6 new additions for a total of 18 wonderfully eco-creative icons of the San Francisco landscape. From Ghirardelli Square to the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower to Chinatown's dragon gate, replicas of San Francisco's most famous places have been creatively crafted from recycled and repurposed materials. Corks, wine boxes, cheese graters, cutlery and more come together to make San Francisco's gourmet haven, the Ferry Building, and the towering Transamerica Pyramid is studded with over 600 computer keys.

The No. 8-seed on the women's side, Caroline Wozniacki has been upset by unseeded Irina-Camelia Begu in her opening-round match of the 2012 U.S. Open. Wozniacki put up very little fight, as Begu won in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2.
Wozniacki has been troubled by a knee injury, and she was tended to by a trainer in the middle of the second set. She struggled mightily on the night, amassing only four winners compared to 22 unforced errors.
Begu was not broken in the match, as Wozniacki was 0-4 on break points. Begu won 75 percent of the points on her first serve and 63 percent on her second. Wozniacki was only able to take half of the points on her first serve and 43 percent on her second.
Wozniacki has struggled in 2012, and risks falling out of the top ten with this loss.

NYC Street Portraiture – The Photodiarist
"I am a diarist of ordinary moments that move me. I gravitate towards black and white photography but still celebrate color. I love the candid capture but respect the power of the choreographed moment. I study the rules of phos+graphis but am compelled periodically to ignore them."
"I really love taking pictures. But more than that, I love giving a more permanent life to fleeting ordinary moments that I witness in New York, the city in which I live, and in my travels. Lately, I've been doing portraits of people that I don't know in an effort to show that it takes only a few moments of connecting with another person to create one less stranger in a city that is full of them."

Vaccines Health Center
HPV, Cervical Cancer Vaccine: 15 Facts
No. The vaccine does protect against the strains of HPV most likely to cause cancer. But it does not protect against all HPV strains.
However, recent reports suggest that the vaccine may give wider protection than originally thought. There is preliminary evidence it may offer some protection against other HPV strains, which cause 8% or 9% of cervical cancers.
6. How effective is the new vaccine?
Studies have shown it is 100% effective in the prevention of cervical precancers and noninvasive cervical cancers caused by HPV-16 and 18 in those not already exposed to those strains, according to Merck & Co. Inc., which makes Gardasil. Merck is a WebMD sponsor.
7. If someone is already sexually active, will this vaccine still work?
If a person has been infected with any of the four strains the vaccine protects against, the vaccine won't provide protection against that type. But it will prevent infection from the other three.
8. How long is Gardasil effective?
Research suggests the vaccine lasts at least four years. Long-term results are not yet certain. The protection might last longer.
9. Does the vaccine actually contain HPV or any live virus?
No. It has a virus-like particle, but not the actual virus.
10. Is Gardasil safe?
Clinical trial data have found it is safe.
11. What does the vaccine cost? Will insurance cover it?
The "list" price is about $120 per dose, and three doses are needed. But that is the price your doctor pays to the manufacturer. It does not include the cost of an office visit or other charges, so the cost to individuals could be higher. The federal Vaccines for Children Program will provide free vaccines to those under age 19 who qualify. More information on that program is on the CDC web site, www.cdc.gov. A number of insurers say they plan to cover the costs.
12. Is it available everywhere in the U.S.?
Supplies have been shipped nationwide, according to Merck, although your individual doctor's office or clinic may not have ordered it.
13. Will the new vaccine make cervical cancer screens such as the Pap test passé?
No. Screening with a Pap test is still needed, since the vaccine does not protect against all cervical cancer.
14. Is this the only vaccine for cervical cancer?
There's a second vaccine in the works: Cervarix, from GlaxoSmithKline. Cervarix targets two HPV strains, HPV-16 and HPV-18. GSK says it plans to seek FDA approval for Cervarix by the end of the year. Early studies find that this vaccine, like Gardasil, is extremely safe and effective. GlaxoSmithKline is a WebMD sponsor.
15. How common is cervical cancer and how deadly?
The American Cancer Society predicts that in 2007, there will be about 11,150 new U.S. cases of invasive cervical cancer, and 3,670 cervical-cancer deaths.
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. There are about 500,000 new cases, and 250,000 cervical-cancer deaths each year. According to the World Health Organization, nearly 80% of cases occur in low-income countries, where cervical cancer is the most common cancer in women

Interview: Robert Sharenow
categories : Interview
Welcome back to this month's Teachable Moment featuring author Robert Sharenow's The Berlin Boxing Club. As you read in my review I enjoyed this book a great deal and think it is ideal for the classroom. More than that it's a book that appeals to a wide audience by spanning both age and gender. I'm excited to be able to share some insight into the book and author by providing you the brief interview below. Please join me in welcoming Robert Sharenow to Galleysmith!
MF: What appeals to you most about writing historical fiction?
RS: I've always been interested in the emotional lives of historical figures, and how there was always a deeply felt human story going on behind the headlines of world events. George Washington, the father of our country, had no biological children of his own. JFK suffered from crippling back pain and Addison's disease. Hitler was a failed painter. These personal insights make history so much more real and dimensional to me. And I try to give this kind of authentic context to the people and events I write about.
MF: As a producer for A&E you've created content for a largely adult audience, why did you choose to write for a younger demographic instead?
RS: I actually don't tailor my writing for a younger audience at all. Both of my books were written for adults or teens. Each features an adolescent narrator, which is the main reason they attracted a YA publisher. When I was in high school, I liked to read "adult" market books. So I don't feel a need to soften or simplify anything. Teens are amazing readers and can handle whatever a grown up reader can. It's been amazing to write for the YA market, as there is a wonderful infrastructure of librarians and teachers out there who want to support good literary fiction.
MF: What inspired Berlin Boxing Club? Were you more interested in the boxing side of the story or the focus on historic Nazi Germany?
RS: I first got interested in the subject when I was working as a writer for the History Channel and wrote a story about the Louis vs. Schmeling fights. And I became more of a boxing fan as I researched the book. I certainly had an interest in Nazi Germany as well. When you're writing historical fiction you have to be inherently interested in your subjects or you lose interest in doing the research. For me, it was easy and actually fun to delve into the worlds of boxing, cartooning, art, and WWII.
MF: Can you explain a bit of what went into the process of writing Berlin Boxing Club?
RS: All told it took about ten years from conception to publication. I researched for several years before I actually sat down to write anything. I write relatively quickly, so I think I wrote a first draft in approximately a year. And then I spent at least a year revising. Part of the challenge of writing this book was that it takes place over several years, with more than a dozen characters, so I had to track their stories over time.
MF: In the story Karl is shown as "less" Jewish (in appearance and, in part, in faith) than other boys his age. What factored into your decision to portray him as such?
RS: Great question. I've wanted someone to ask me that. I created Karl's physical appearance and lack of religious background very specifically to demonstrate just how completely unfair totalitarian regimes can be. Despite not having any Jewish education, religion, or looks, Karl is labeled a Jew. It was a way of magnifying the pureness and blindness of the Nazi's hatred. But also, I wanted Karl to feel unfairly labeled. I think most adolescents, myself included, desperately want to be able to define themselves. The fact that the Nazi government defined Karl's identity against his will is one of the central themes of the book.
MF: If you could choose another point in history to write about what would it be and why?
RS: There are so many. I've always been drawn to Colonial America and the birth of our democracy, which I consider one of the most miraculous stories in history with such a great collection of characters, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Hamilton. The current book I'm working on takes place in the 1900s in New York. At the opposite end of the spectrum, I'm also drawn to Biblical times and I'm intrigued by the challenge of writing about the world during that era. It's fun for me to think about characters like Moses or John the Baptist as real men, who had everyday lives like we do. As I said earlier, its those connections that excite me about history, that give me a sense that we are all part of the same story.
As you can see, Mr. Sharenow is a very dynamic man! I'm certainly interested to read any of the work he puts out as his passion for history is evident. I also encourage you to do the same. Please grab a copy of The Berlin Boxing Club it's a greatly emotional (and educational) read.

Bifurcation analysis of nonlinear ground handling of aircraft - EPSRC Case Award with Airbus UK at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Bristol
Postgraduate student, James Rankin,started working on this project in October 2006 under the supervision of Professor Bernd Krauskopf and Dr Mark Lowenberg (University of Bristol) in collaboration with Sanjiv Sharma and Etienne Coetzee (Airbus UK).
Airbus is a global enterprise with industrial facilities in France, Germany, Spain and the UK; additional design and engineering satellite offices in the USA, Russia and China; fully-owned subsidiaries in the United States, China, Japan and the Middle East; spare parts centres in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Washington, Beijing, and Singapore; training centres in Toulouse, Miami, Hamburg and Beijing; and more than 130 field service offices around the world. Over the past decade Airbus' Landing Gear Systems Group at its UK Filton site has been increasing its use of computer-based modelling and simulation technologies. In this context the use of dynamical systems theory is playing an increasingly important role in identifying stability boundaries quickly and efficiently.
The EPSRC Case Award "Bifurcation analysis of nonlinear ground handling of aircraft" with Airbus UK is concerned with developing and applying advanced mathematical and computational tools for the analysis of high-speed taxiing, which is crucial for an efficient operation of aircraft at busy airports.
How the project fits in Airbus's research plans. The mid-term goal of Airbus is to develop the requirements for a, potentially, fully automated system that steers an aircraft along the shortest route, orchestrated by Air Traffic Control, as fast as possible between the gate and the runway. To achieve safe and efficient performance of aircraft ground handling, nonlinear effects need to be taken into account, which arise because:
- the tyres deform significantly during normal taxiing operations;
- there is the possibility of slippage while braking or due to changing friction of the taxiway;
- geometric effects may introduce nonlinearities, for example due to non-symmetric thrust at turns;
- active components, such as brakes and actuators, feature their own nonlinearities.
Scope of the project. The project draws on the considerable expertise of the Departments of Engineering Mathematics and Aerospace engineering at the University of Bristol. Its goal is to develop and study a hierarchy of increasingly complex models of aircraft ground dynamics, where the mass/forces balance and other parameters are calibrated from existing aircraft models at Airbus.
The model that is presently being studied is that of a generic Airbus aircraft with nonlinear tyre/ground interaction. Specifically, turning solutions and their stability boundaries are being identified with the method of numerical continuation.
The image above shows an example of dynamics of the aircraft during an attempted specific high-speed turning manoeuvre, where the constant radius solution is already unstable. Stability diagrams in dependence on key parameters, such as the steering angle and thrust level, are being developed in a systematic way.
Follow-on activities. The Case Award has lead to the Airbus UK funded follow-on project `Analysis of nonlinear ground handling models', which employs a three-year Postdoctoral Research Assistant from April 2007 within the research team at the University of Bristol's Engineering Faculty. This new project focuses on the stability of tyre/ground interactions under different types of loading, a problem that was presented by Etienne Coetzee of Airbus UK at the 57th European Study Group with Industry in April 2006. The problem attracted the interest of academics from eight Universities. The one week-long interaction between Airbus and these academics was instrumental to the company taking this research further.
"The Study Group provided us with two main outcomes. The immediate outcome was the discovery of the network of people, who were interested in the topic area and were looking to take the study forward. As a result, we set up a 3-year Research Associateship at the University of Bristol, to extend the study. The by-product is that our relationships, between the University of Bristol and Airbus, are further strengthened" - Sanjiv Sharma, Systems Engineer, Airbus (UK).
As further evidence of the strategic long-term relationship that Airbus has developed with the University of Bristol, Airbus UK are also supporting the related Industrial Mathematics KTN CASE Award "Optimisation of aircraft taxi operations". Since October 2006 Ph.D. student Gillian Keith is working at this project under the co-supervision of Dr Arthur Richards (University of Bristol) and Sanjiv Sharma. The aim is to investigate the use of autonomous operation to achieve faster air-to-gate-to-air transit at airports.

By HAYLEY HARMON6 News Anchor/Reporter
SWEETWATER (WATE) - A Sweetwater teen died Thursday evening after accidentally shooting himself with a family handgun, according to Sweetwater Police Department officials.
Police said they responded to a possible shooting call around 5:45 p.m. Thursday on Morris Street.
Officials found 15-year-old Matthew Daniels with a gunshot wound. His mother was performing CPR but officers immediately took over.
Daniels was a freshman at Sweetwater High School, where students and teachers are working to absorb the loss of the beloved student.
He was just walking the school's hallways with his classmates on Thursday, a mere couple of hours before he died.
As the shock settles in, they're focusing on the memories of who he was.
Sweetwater High School Principal David Watts knew Daniels his entire life and said he was one of those kids you never had to worry about.
He was just born doing right and was a friend to everyone.
"Matthew Daniels was a great kid. I don't think I ever saw Matt without a smile on his face. You never hear another kid say anything about him but fun and how he would tell jokes and laugh," said Watts.
Daniels was an honor student, had just been named Student of the Month and was toying with the idea of trying out for the baseball team.
It's hard to believe he's really gone, especially for his close friends.
"That group that walked home everyday has had that friendship severed by death. It's hard for them. Here everybody hurts so everybody grieves together," said Watts. "I don't think when someone is gone you ever really replace them. The loss is hard but now it's the going on from the loss and how we deal with it."
In an effort to help students and teachers deal with the loss they're feeling, the school's faculty is hosting a memorial assembly in the school gym Sunday afternoon.
Students and their parents are welcomed to attend.
They will also have grief counselors at school next week to help students work through the pain.
"We have to encourage our kids to remember Matt in a good light. Not for the fact that he's gone but for the fact of how much joy Matt brought all our lives while he was here," said Watts.
The memorial assembly will begin at 2 p.m. at Sweetwater High School at 414 South High Street.
Visitation for Daniels is Monday from 4 to 7 p.m. at First Baptist Church in Sweetwater.
His funeral is Tuesday at 6 p.m., also at First Baptist.
Sweetwater High has set up the "Matthew Daniels Fund" to help his family pay for funeral expenses.
To donate, contact the school at (423) 337-7881.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is assisting with the shooting investigation. Officials said there were no signs of foul play.
Sweetwater PD said in a press release "this is a tragic event for our community and our prayers are with the family at this time."

"Some of my fellow church members get all into [hunting], and that to me is a shocking combination – religion and killing for recreation."
Really? Well, I have to mention that hunting is not "killing for recreation," but that's not what you're addressing here. The salient issue in my mind is that if you are speaking of a Bible-based church, hunting is a natural fit. In Genesis, mankind were given the beasts of the earth to have dominion over, and to eat as needed. Hunters are simply doing their own slaughtering, rather than paying a hired killer to do it for them in a slaughterhouse.
"Why do hunters try to kill anything they see, even if they have no intention of eating it? A neighbor who has NO livestock just shot 3 coyotes for no apparent reason. Having had coyotes as pets, I'd no sooner kill one without good reason than I'd kill a pet dog or cat."
Hunters do not try to kill anything they see. Some people who hunt are game hogs, but that is the exception, not the rule. As in every group of people, some of our members are bad news. That much is human nature, sad but true.
As far as killing coyotes, I'm all for it. I won't eat one unless I'm in dire straits and need the meat to survive, but in my personal opinion, coyotes are vermin. I know for a fact that wildlife officers and/or wildlife biologists in my area wish that more people would kill coyotes in the forest. They do much harm to game animals that folks like to watch and photograph - and yes, to hunt - and they are sly, wary animals.
Hunting them can be very challenging, and when the opportunity arises while hunting other game, some hunters (myself included) will wisely take any coyote they can get a shot at. This helps protect wild animals up to and including deer, as well as pets in residential areas.
"Why are they so pushy and in our face about their hobby? It's gross looking at photos of disembowelled creatures hanging up in our lunch breakroom every day. Who wants to look at that while eating their salad, or to hear about how a bullet took out his liver and left a nice blood trail?"
Some people are just jerks - and it's possible that you are being a bit more sensitive than most. Just a possibility I mention, because I don't know you, nor do I know the folks who hang those photos. Hunters need to be responsible and considerate of others, for sure, and not hang photos and tell graphic tales where they might spoil someone's lunch.
What hunters want is to be left alone to do our hunting, without people giving us grief about our chosen activity... and we need to realize that if we don't want to be pushed, we shouldn't push others. You do your thing and I'll do mine, and there's no need for either one of us to get in anyone's face about it. (Continued)

Realmac Software Releases 'Analog Camera', A Touch-Based Photography App [iOS Blog]
Like Clear, Analog Camera uses a gesture-based interface to navigate through a variety of filters and camera modes. Users can manually select combined exposure and focus by using a single tap on the camera, and can even select exposure and focus separately by using a two-finger tap.
The app takes only square shots, much like Instagram, and it supports saving images to the camera roll, email, Twitter, Facebook and Sina Weibo, as well as Instagram, Path and other photography apps.
Analog Camera is all about enabling you to do the most important things with your photos, as quickly as possible. Guided by the principles that we developed whilst building the revolutionary to-do list app Clear, Analog Camera features incredible filters and is unbelievably fun and easy to use. Analog Camera has been built with a strict focus on offering a fast, fun and simple experience that allows you to focus on creating beautiful photos.
Analog Camera is available for iPhone for $ 0.99 on the App Store [Direct Link] and a review is available at our sister site, AppShopper.
This is likely a camera app I will pass on. I have a handful already, I'm over it.
All the press these guys get makes me wonder whether there's a quid pro quo arrangement somewhere. "Clear" is possibly the most overrated app of the last 2 years, and this is just another cr*ppy snapshot app filled with hipster filters.
Important Front Page MacRumors news should be something like… what the Samsung CEO had for dinner while on vacation in Hawaii.
But not this.

This Sunday, April, 17 at 12:00 pm, the no. 21 ranked Men's UCLA Track and Field Team will square-off with the no. 10 ranked Oregon Ducks in a classic dual meet at Drake Stadium. As many of you know, Eugene is known as "Track Town USA" because of the enormous fan base the Ducks have for track and field. Oregon has used this home field advantage to edge out the Bruins at Hayward Field the last 3 years in a row... but the tables have turned.
This is the first time the Dual meet vs. Oregon is being hosted at UCLA in over 30 years, and the Bruins need your support. Come out on Sunday with your friends and family, and have some fun getting rowdy and cheering on your Bruins! The men's team is coming into the meet carrying the momentum from a strong showing vs. Texas and Arkansas in a scored triangular meet, and a dominating victory in a Dual vs. Tennessee two weeks ago.
Drake stadium can be a daunting place to compete for visiting teams, but the Bruins need your help in making the environment electrifying.

August 4, 2014 – Principal Timmons announced today that Amanda Ryan-Fear has been selected as the new assistant principal of Liberty High School.
Dr. Ryan-Fear was already slated to become dean of students at Liberty, however when Andy DeBois announced his selection as the new principal of Scappoose High School, she applied and was ultimately selected for the position.
Dr. Ryan-Fear has been working at Hilhi since 2014 in roles ranging from art teacher to leadership teacher to activities director to dean of students. She earned her administrative license in 2009 and since then has filled in as a substitute principal and/or assistant principal at elementary, middle and high schools. Dr. Ryan-Fear has worked in the field of education since 1998, at which time she was serving youth aged 5-17 with cognitive and physical disabilities in a therapeutic recreation program. That experience inspired her to return to school for a Master's degree in teaching in 2003. Ten years later, she earned her Doctorate in Educational Methodology, Policy and Leadership. She counts as her most gratifying experiences serving as an advisor to Hilhi's Latino Youth Advisory Council (LYAC), co-leading their staff equity team, and building relationships with students and families.
Liberty High School students will actively
take part in their education,
demonstrate respect and pride
in themselves and their community,
and possess the skills necessary
for success.

I love curry, but I don't love curry from Bengal Berties. The Sauces tasted below average (but not terrible), but the meats they use were obviously of a fairly low quality. The rices were nothing special, and the breads forgettable. These guys need to work harder if they are going to compete with the competition, as this area has some excellent Indian take aways.more
So, a blast from the past. As we walked towards this place, we passed a couple of girls that looked a bit like Princess Diana circa 1985, then another couple that reminded me of "Desperately seeking Susan" (starring Madonna innit?). All this was ominous to the dining experience in Berties'. The window says they opened in 1984, and if feels a bit 1980s. It is a bit depressing that they don't...more
I've not yet had the opportunity to visit the restaurant but Bengal Berties is my go-to for an Indian takeaway. You can wait for up to an hour on a weekend for the delivery but surely the fact that they're so busy is a sign of a decent meal?
I'd recommend the chicken jalfrezi and peshwari naan. Delicious food and friendly service. I'll definitely be popping into the restaurant soon.more
This is our favourite Indian place in North London - both for eating in or out! In fact, I really like coming to this place on a cold winter night, as it is so very cozy inside...not that the interior is very cool or noteworthy; no, it just radiates warmth and comfort...plus the amazing smell from the kitchen!
What should you order? - Well, it all depends on what you like, but here's a...more
My fiance and I were in the area, browsing the goodies at Second Layer and started to get hungry. We asked the owner if he knew of a good curry house nearby and he highly recommended Bengal Berties.
We wandered in, sat down and enjoyed the food so much there that we went back to eat here again the next night!
I'd rate the curry at Bengal Berties amongst the top 5 I've ever eaten.
I like mine...more

"Stag's Leap" is no exception to poet Sharon Olds's unswerving devotion to total recall, recounting in often discomfiting detail the months and years following her divorce in 1997 after more than 30 years with her husband. You can learn a lot about Olds by reading Olds; and to some readers, that's the problem.
For her critics, myself often among them, the self-awareness that has saturated Olds's poetry for 30 years — a hardcore candor that hunts down details and does not spare them — amounts to a generosity that can often tip into something more like exhibitionism. Elegant oversharing: It's her thing, and it neatly splits the love-hers from the hate-hers.

University of Vermont senior David Bernstein is putting the finishing touches on his final project-- a "Quad-Rotor" mini-drone. The mechanical engineering major and fellow students came up with the idea as a way to make ski videos.
"We thought wouldn't it be really cool if you could have one of those things flying behind you when your skiing and get like a third-person view of you skiing," Bernstein explained.
But he says there's an abundance of other uses.
David Bernstein: There's a ton of applications for a quad-copter that could go to a specific GPS. For like news crews, rescue and surveillance.
Reporter Alexei Rubenstein: Tailing a suspect.
David Bernstein: Yeah, you could use it for that, too.
And that's what concerns privacy advocates. Thirty-four states have proposed various drone privacy bills this year, New Hampshire being the latest. That bill would prohibit drones from taking pictures over private property without the owner's permission. The Vermont ACLU's Allen Gilbert says he doesn't think Vermont is far off.
"I think they'll be overhead in Vermont within 12 months," Gilbert said. "The public has realized, wow these things can really do a lot. Could they ever be used in this country? Are they being used in this country? Even if they aren't, how will they be used in the future?"
The rapid growth of domestic drones has come about, in part, because of the abundance of cheap equipment. What was the domain of hobbyists now allows anyone to build sophisticated surveillance tools. In the case of Bernstein's quad-rotor-- for about $600. By 2015, the Federal Aviation Administration is expected to weigh in with rules for how they can be operated.
Sen. Patrick Leahy says the new technology poses a significant threat.
"I'm convinced domestic use of drones to conduct surveillance and collect other information will have a broad and significant impact on the everyday lives of millions of Americans," said Leahy, D-Vermont.
Neither the State Police nor local police departments in Vermont say they currently use the devices. And Steve McQueen, with the Vt. Association of Chiefs of Police, says he doesn't see departments doing so in the future either. Not only because of their high cost, but because they don't fit with Vermont's policing culture.
From drones to license plate readers to cellphone tracking and now facial recognition software the DMV is exploring, Gilbert says it's the confluence of these technologies that concern him.
"I'm sure some people think that paranoia might be a requirement for the job I have, but the fact is that because of the technological age we're living in, it's so much easier for information to be not only collected," Gilbert said. "It's much easier and it's much, much cheaper for information to be retained, to be stored."
As for David Bernstein, who is watching the rapid growth of domestic drones and hopes to parlay his senior project into a startup company, the future looks bright.
"I think it would be pretty easy to make a successful company in this field right now," he said.
The Vermont Law School is set to host a conference on international law and the use of drones Friday. "Reaching Critical Mass: International and U.S. Law in the Wake of Modern Exigencies," is March 22 from 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m. in the Jonathan B. Chase Community Center. Click here for more information.

Part I: Code of Student Conduct
The purpose of the Code is to express community standards of honesty, respect for persons and property, and responsible use of freedom. The Code reflects the College's mission and identity, and it exists to guide conduct, safeguarding and promoting the College's educational activity.
Each student is responsible for reading and reviewing the Code of Student Conduct, and for understanding the responsibilities s/he assumes by enrolling in the College.
Bates takes pride in the responsibility of its students and the social and educational atmosphere of its campus.
Bates College students are held responsible for their conduct at all times. Any student who engages in academic or social misconduct shall be subject to disciplinary action by appropriate officers of the College and/or the Student Conduct Committee.
The College, in accordance with the procedures of the Academic Standing Committee and the Student Conduct Committee, reserves the right to withdraw from any student the privilege of attending college at Bates. Neither the College, nor any of its members, shall be under any liability whatsoever for such exclusion.
The following considerations constitute the foundation of the College's justification for establishing expectations of student conduct, codifying those expectations, and adopting equitable processes for assessing student conduct.
1. The College's mission as a private residential educational institution establishes its identity as an independent community with a distinctive history and culture.
2. The Charter and By-Laws of the College charge the faculty with responsibility for the welfare of students and the conditions under which they are to live and learn.
3. The College's standards of conduct and the procedures for de-termining responsibility for misconduct reflect its particular mission and history. These standards and procedures do not attempt to duplicate civil and criminal legal processes, nor do they attempt to substitute for them. As an institution structured to accomplish its stated educational mission, the College has an independent interest in upholding standards of academic and social conduct, and these expectations may differ from those found in society at large. The College is committed to fundamental fairness in its student conduct procedures.
4. By the action of matriculation and registration at Bates College, students voluntarily enter an educational and residential community with standards of academic honesty and respect for persons and property. In choosing to enroll in the College, each student becomes responsible in his/her conduct to those standards as stated in the Student Conduct Code.
The College may address student academic and social misconduct through its own processes and apply sanctions governing the terms of membership in the College. The College reserves the right to deal with misconduct, whether or not law enforcement agencies are involved and criminal charges may be pending.
It is important that students know where to turn when they have questions, and for the College to be confident that those to whom they turn understand the student conduct system. In addition to the language of the Code itself, the College makes available a variety of "live" resources: The Office of the Dean of Students, members of the faculty, the Judicial Educator, Junior Advisors and Residence Coordinators (JAs and RCs), and mediators. If a student is in trouble, has a complaint and wants to know how to proceed, or simply has a general question about disciplinary policy, JAs and RCs should know enough about the standards of conduct and judicial process at Bates to be able to provide helpful and accurate answers. For more detailed information, students may speak with the Judicial Educator, who has extensive familiarity with the student conduct process and who is prepared to explain it to students and faculty who become involved in any aspect of a disciplinary matter. The Judicial Educator is not associated with the Dean of Students Office and does not determine any element of a case, but serves as an independent, informed resource for students (see Part III, A.3., below).

Memphis is one of the hardest, grimiest teams in the NBA. You really thought they were going to roll over and let Los Angeles sweep them?
Zach Randolph had 18 points in the first half and Memphis' bench actually outscored Los Angeles' bench, leading the Grizzlies to a 47-39 lead at the half. Blake Griffin leads the Clips with 10, while Chris Paul has been bottled up with three turnovers and zero assists.
Here's the answers to the three questions Jonathan Tjarks had about the first half of Game 1:
Can the Grizzlies get more out of Zach Randolph Zach Randolph?
Suffice it to say, yes.
Zach Randolph looked kinda like Zach Randolph at his best out there. After scoring 13 points on 10 shots in each of the first two games, Randolph came out and scored 13 points on five shots in the first quarter alone.
He hit the Grizzlies' first shot, a rainbow 18-footer. A few minutes later, he got the ball in the post and bullied a shot up and in, drawing an and-one call on DeAndre Jordan. Some more layups, some finishes around the hoop and some boards and putbacks followed. He had a steal and pass ahead to Keyon Dooling. They even let him shoot a technical free throw, even with better shooters on the floor. All things told finish with 18 points and four rebounds on six shots.
Z-Bo looked like Z-Bo, the wide rebounder with a mean streak, a low center of gravity, four inches of vertical leap and not a care in the world. That's exactly what the team wanted.
How will Vinny Del Negro handle the Clippers' rotation?
The other day, we wrote a post about how Los Angeles' bench has made this series somewhat of a mismatch. The Clippers' "Tribe Called Bench" is high-energy, high-scoring fun with great athletes and great role players, and the Grizzlies' bench is, like, Jerryd Bayless and Keyon Dooling. We quoted something the brilliant Steve Perrin wrote at Clips Nation:
If Memphis is counting on Bayless and Keyon Dooling to be major factors, the series is already over.
Los Angeles deployed their bench as usual: first Jamal Crawford, then Matt Barnes and Ryan Hollins. When the second quarter opened, Eric Bledsoe and Lamar Odom followed, giving everybody on the squad a rest.
But Memphis did something weird: they countered by going full bench too. Sure, the Grizzlies have gone 10-deep before, but it seemed weird to have it happen all at once on a team with several inadequate bench players.
But, uh, it worked. Bayless and Dooling, presumably big Clips Nation readers, drilled back-to-back threes, and Vinny Del Negro had to call a timeout. Sure, Barnes answered back with a dunk and a three, but the Grizzlies bench crew matched the Tribe -- actually outscoring them by three -- and that's all Lionel Hollins could've asked.
Could this be the end of the road for the "Grit 'N Grind" Grizzlies?
Not yet. This game has the early makings of a Grizzlies win, and it's come on the back of Randolph and Marc Gasol playing Grizzlies-ball. This series could have life in it yet.

VENUS: Kingdom of Spiders

This is the surface of VENUS.
Looks like one HELL of an electrical discharge!
This violent display is called an ARACHNOID, a phenomenon found only on VENUS.
There is speculation that this spider-like anomaly is caused by volcanic activity; for now, all must remain a mystery-at least until we send a manned-mission to this Golden Web.
Any Volunteers?
