Nang jumps out of the back seat and grabs the snake so I can film.
They are called "Golden Tree Snakes". They are sometimes called "Flying Snakes". They can jump from 100 meter heights and glide down into the bough of another tree or even just hit the ground. They flatten out when they fall – and they are unharmed when they hit. Amazing, huh?
These pics are from today. The guys went out before I arrived and caught a grey rat snake, as you can see here. Also a beautiful specimen. Shame someone whacked it with a stick at the house it was found at!

NYNE is getting a jump on the 2013 International CES frenzy, announcing the company's SMC-1000 Smart Media Center.
The product is supposedly the first in the company's Smart Media Centers category—which means that NYNE may be planning more down the line.
For now though, it's just the SMC-1000, which packs in a 2.1 soundbar, with 400-Watts RMS power, two midrange drivers, two tweeters and one subwoofer with 96db SPL. The SMC-1000 also boasts a lot of connectivity, via four HDMI inputs, two USB ports, optical and coaxial digital inputs, and Apple's Lightning dock. Other features include Blueooth and AirPlay support, a 3.5mm input, and Near Field Communication (NFC) for Android devices.
"Finally the discerning audio-video enthusiast can sweep aside those racks, stacks and wires in the living room and replace them with a high fashion, integrated media console," said Arman Arami, president of NYNE. "NYNE's SMC-1000 is not just another functional gear box masquerading as a TV stand. It's a stylish media console with great sound that just happens to also be highly functional. With clean lines and a small footprint, the well-designed SMC-1000 will flatter any modern living room."
NYNE plans to start shipping the SMC-1000 in the second quarter of 2013. The company will demo the product at next month's 2013 International CES. The show runs from January 8-11, 2013, in Las Vegas, Nevada.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Arie Luyendyk, Jr. or Sean Lowe: Who Should Be The Bachelor Next Season?by Free Britney at . Comments
It's become all but certain that a memorable star from a previous season is chosen for the upcoming season of ABC's The Bachelor or The Bachelorette.
This year gave us two very popular candidates in Arie Luyendyk, Jr., and Sean Lowe, both of whom lost to Jef Holm in the Emily Maynard sweepstakes.
Arie and Sean would both be slam-dunk picks for the network, while Roberto Martinez - The Bachelorette winner in 2010 - is said to be out of the mix.
That leaves Arie Luyendyk, Jr., and Sean Lowe as co-frontrunners. Which of the two would you prefer to see this winter? Vote below!

Rubella, sometimes called German measles, is an acute viral infection that causes a mild illness in children and slightly more severe illness in adults. The disease is spread person-to-person through airborne particles and takes two to three weeks to incubate. Although the illness is mostly mild, the virus can cause serious birth defects. The vaccine is effective, and the illness, along with the birth defects it causes, is preventable.
The following are the most common symptoms of rubella. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Rubella in pregnant women may cause serious complications in the fetus, including a range of severe birth defects.
The symptoms of rubella may resemble other medical conditions. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and medical examination, diagnosis is often confirmed with a throat culture and blood testing.
Specific treatment for rubella will be determined by your doctor based on:
Treatment for rubella is usually limited to acetaminophen for fever.
Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) is a combination childhood vaccination that protects against these three viruses. MMR provides immunity for most people. People who have had rubella are immune for life.
Usually, the first dose of the MMR vaccine is administered when a child is 12 months old, and a second dose given at 4 to 6 years of age. However, if 28 days have passed since the first dose was administered, a second dose may be given before the age of 4.

Korematsu Center joins amicus brief in support of marriage equality
(October 28, 2010) The School of Law's Fred T. Korematsu Center for Law and Equality joined twelve other organizations, including the Asian American Justice Center and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, on an amicus brief before the 9th Circuit United States Court of Appeals in support of marriage equality.
Perry v. Schwarzenegger involves the federal constitutionality of Proposition 8, a 2008 California ballot initiative that prohibited the recognition of same-sex marriages in California. In August 2010, Judge Vaughn Walker ruled that Proposition 8 violated the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
The amicus brief examined the issue of whether the long-held animus and discrimination directed against gay men and lesbians prevent this group from seeking recourse through traditional political processes so as to warrant heightened judicial scrutiny. Specifically, this brief argued that Proposition 8 should be subject to heightened review because gay men and lesbians, like other protected minority groups, are "politically powerless."
Though political powerlessness has never been held to be an essential element that must be satisfied in order for heightened scrutiny to apply, political powerlessness is one of many "traditional indicia of suspectness" used to determine the level of scrutiny applied by courts in evaluating the constitutionality of disparate government treatment of minorities. Political powerlessness rests on the fundamental notion that deep-seated and longstanding prejudices towards certain groups impede their ability to rely on political processes.
The brief examined the nature, history, and circumstances of the disparate treatment and prejudice against minorities to demonstrate the extent to which political processes fail to protect minorities from disparate treatment.
"We thought this brief presented arguments that are becoming increasingly important to counter the way that the referendum or initiative process has been used to roll back the advances of the civil rights movement," said Robert Chang, director of the Korematsu Center and professor.
The Fred T. Korematsu Center for Law and Equality works to advance justice through knowledge and advocacy.
Read the amicus brief.

I played basketball, volleyball, cross country and track and wrestling in High school, and wrestled 5 years in university
2) How long have you been running? I ran off and on as a teen and before having kids but not regularly and never for very long (2 to 3 kms for a few weeks and then I gave up. I started running consistently after my 3rd baby was born to get myself back. I have been a runner for 2 years and 4 months.
3) How long have you been racing? for 2 years and 2 months
4) What are your most proud accomplishments in running? I was the first female to finish in a big 5k race up in my area (1st out of 120 women, 8th out of both men and women). I wanted to win a race once in my life. I did a stroller race 2 months after I started running and came 3rd which was incredibly exciting for me.
5) What are your future goals for running? I have time goals for each distance: 5k I want to do in 22 minutes, 10 k in 45 minutes, HM in 1:40 and qualify for Boston so I need a 3:40 for that

5) What are your future goals for running? To stay injury-free and keep running into my golden years.
6) Why do you run? I read something a while back that said to find your passion, complete this sentence: "I feel most like myself when I _____". My immediate response was "run!" So how could I not run??
1) What sports if any did you do competitively in high school/ college? Nothing! I think I 'ran' around the neighborhood, but that was only because a cute boy lived down the street and I would run by his house in hopes of seeing him.

Soccer. I played so much, throughout the regular school season and in the summers.
Consistently for the last 6 months. I have off and on ran over the past 2 years.
2 years - my first 5K was a Turkey Trot in 2011.
Finishing a half marathon.
Build a better base. Race all my races next year without stopping except for water. Run a 5K at a 10min/mi pace.
It's a stress reliever and I like challenging myself against myself. At this point I have no delusions about competing against anyone else, but I am competitive by nature and competing against myself is satisfying.
1) What sports if any did you do competitively in high school/ college? HS track, cross country, basketball and volleyball (state champs in the 2mil relay and 440 yard hurdles, cross country state qualifier)
2) How long have you been running? just started running after a 30-year layoff. So really just back in the game for 6 months
3) How long have you been racing? 6 months
4) What are your most proud accomplishments in running? see below in my signature column but that 1st race after 30 years was on a local course with a bunch of HS alum watching. Bitch of an incline with a bear of a hill. I didn't walk once and finished strong. Next fav thing is reducing my time by almost 4 minutes in a short period of time.
5) What are your future goals for running? under 25:00 in a 5K
6) Why do you run? simply put, because I can. Because God gave me wings under my feet and as long as I can use that gift I will.

Upcoming races:
Say No To Drugs Race Holiday Classic 10K (December 8, 2013)
LA Marathon (March 9, 2014)
Official Race PR's:
Competitive dance/drill in high school (not through school), nothing in college
I ran for about 4 years in my late twenties, and then picked it back up in my mid 40s. I've been running for about 5 years
For about 5 years
I gave up running in my twenties due to injury. I started incurring injuries again in my mid 40s. I am most proud of the fact that rather than giving up, I have stuck with it, changed my stride, my training, and my goals, and am now feeling stronger than ever!
To run a half marathon. I'll be running my 3rd 10K in 3 years later this month (my second 10K was at 59:04). My personal distance record is only 8 miles. I would like to run a half marathon next spring.
For strength (physical, emotional, and spiritual), and serenity.
4 years
Improving my PBs - always chipping away at these.
Run more marathons and chip away at my PB here.
Because I enjoy it, it relaxes me and it keeps me thin (I could pretty much eat anything I wanted now and I wouldn't put weight on - except I don't because I run!).
1) What sports if any did you do competitively in high school/ college? Gymnastics - for 20 years until I retired after my NCAA career.
2) How long have you been running? 5 years? Basically since I've been done with college
3) How long have you been racing? 4 years ago, and I ran my first marathon in 2011.
4) What are your most proud accomplishments in running? I qualified for Boston the first marathon I ran, and I've improved 16 minutes since then.
5) What are your future goals for running? Ultimately I'd like to break 3 hours in a marathon, and more soon, I'd like to go around 3:15.
6) Why do you run? I'm clearly somewhat competitive and need a goal to train towards. When my gymnastics career was over, running filled that void. Now it keeps me sane more than anything!
PRs: 5K: 22:10, HM: 1:32:59, FM: 3:21
1) What sports if any did you do competitively in high school/ college? I did track in middle school and high school. (I also did soccer, basketball, golf, and gymnastics)
2) How long have you been running? Since I was 12, but I only did short distances/sprinting (longest ever being 2 miles) until recently.
3) How long have you been racing? Have never really been "racing", just doing races for fun. I had my first 5k this past June.
4) What are your most proud accomplishments in running? Beat the school record in track for the 200 meter run my junior year of high school.
5) What are your future goals for running? Running longer distances, no real goals just feeling good about myself and getting better!
6) Why do you run? The feeling afterwards.
1) What sports if any did you do competitively in high school/ college?Cross-country and track (high school only -- I did not run competitively in college and I now regret that.)
Since I was 12, so...about 25 years. Some months in some years were sparse but I never really quit.
Off and on since junior high.
Setting the 8th grade record in the 800m (2:34). Placing 7th in state cross-country two years in a row (freshman and sophomore years). Placing third in the Atlantic City Marathon last year (only 7 seconds off my PR). But over all racing achievements, I'm just proud that I have always been committed to running as part of my life.
Someday it's going to be harder to run what I want to run, and someday my fastest times will be behind me, but I will always give it my best. After Boston next spring I don't know if I will do any more marathons, but I will continue to want to compete around the usual everyday running. I like to have something tangible like a race goal to run "toward".
I get asked this question a lot, usually by non-runners, and it's hard to come up with an answer that doesn't make them think I'm a little crazy. People sometimes don't get it if I answer that I just have to, because I love it. I injured my knee in a mountainbike crash a few years ago and could not run for almost a year while it healed. It was a miserable time, when I recognized just how much running means to me. I guess perhaps I had taken it for granted. Of course I enjoy all the side benefits from running (the stress reduction, the fitness) but I simply love the act of running. Even in the late stages of a marathon when I hate it :-)
1) What sports if any did you do competitively in high school/ college? Ran track and cross country in high school but was very mediocre. Nothing in college.
2) How long have you been running? Ran with my dad at age 8, started running track also at 8, but 100m only.'Trained' myself to a 50 min 10k at age 12, and have run several 10ks since then plus 2 fulls and 7 halfs.
3) How long have you been racing? I guess since the Gr 3 track meets! More recently after my youngest started preschool, and then 1yr after my car accident.
4) What are your most proud accomplishments in running? 3rd overall in a very small 10k earlier this year, sub 4hr marathon on my honeymoon 10yrs ago, and running a 10k exactly 1yr after my surgery to fix broken ankle with screws after a bad car accident that left me graduating from wheelchair to crutches to cane three years ago, then taking 8min off that time the year after in the same race.
5) What are your future goals for running? Challenging myself and having fun while staving off the increased risk of arthritis in my ankle from the cartilage damage. Try for a 45 min 10k
6) Why do you run? I love it more than any other fitness activity or sport in the world. I love how 'pure' it is. Every able bodied person can (try to) run, unlike elite sports like luge, car racing, archery, fencing, etc that the vast majority of people in the world have never even tried.
I'm a 57 year old female, so when I was in high school there weren't any sports for females besides cheerleading and flag corp. So, nothing in high school. College was when I started running because one of the PEs I had to take to graduate was called "Jogging". It was taught by the conditioning coach for the football team (Georgia Bulldogs) and he taught me to love running.
Since my freshman year at UGA. That was 40 years ago.
About 15 years.
Getting faster as I've gotten older. I really didn't think that was possible, but I proved to myself that it definitely is! Also, placing in my age group in the races I run.
To not get slower! (I am 57 after all!) And to continue to place in my age group in races.
I run because I love it. I also run to keep my weight up. I don't have a big appetite and am quite slender with a small bone structure. I tend to drop weight if I don't stay very active and stimulate my appetite. I work out an hour a day, plus run 5 miles a day.
1) What sports if any did you do competitively in high school/ college? Martial arts.
2) How long have you been running? Since high school - it's been my way of relaxing.
3) How long have you been racing? I just ran my first 5k last spring.
4) What are your most proud accomplishments in running? PRing at every 5k I've run so far...though I'm sure that won't continue to be the case!
5) What are your future goals for running? I'd love to see if I can break 20:00 in the 5k, and eventually I'd like to move up to longer distances.
6) Why do you run? To stay in shape and burn off stress
Love this and especially love the replies from the "masters" who are still out there nailing it!
Are "couch potato" and "bong jockey" considered sports? Hmm, no? Then none.
Started when I was 23, so about 17 years now.
I don't know that I'd call what I do, "racing" LOL. I do enter races, but as evidenced by my screen name, I am not fast. My very best 5Ks are just under 30 minutes, best time for a half so far is 2:10 but I hope to beat that this weekend. Fastest mile ever is around 8:20; I can consistently hang at 9 min/mile pace for about 5K distance. I'd like to whittle my best mile time down to 8:00 but don't know that I'll ever get much faster than that (I'm 40 and just don't like to push all THAT hard).
Completing 2 half marathons, getting faster at 40, covering 1,000+ miles in a year.
To finish a full marathon, ideally in 4:30 or less.
Because it keeps the demons at bay! And also: because I love to eat.
Cheaper than therapy
Just curious for anyone who would like to share
Half Marathon 1:32:30 4/2014
Marathon 3:18 10/2013
On and off since I graduated highschool in 2005, until recently where I've been running 3+ times a week since January of 2013
On and off since 2007
10 miler in Lynchburg VA, which means VERY hilly, felt like 85% was all hills. Longest race yet!
Just to keep at it, to get my miles under 10mins, and to pass it on to my kids, as well as do a full marathon and the iron man........but I may be crazy!
To Keep my brain healthy and manage stress!
Nothing, I did like Yoga ..... :-)
Consistently, for almost a year. Before that I ran a lot in my early 30s, then only off and on for the next 2 decades.
I don't consider myself to be ready for racing. I am a very slow runner. I have run a couple of 5Ks but did not specifically "train" for them.
Supporting my oldest daughter to start to run; finishing a 5K, and getting consistent about running 3x/week, so far.
Improve my aerobic capacity, increase to 4 runs/week, consider a 10K or 8K if I can find one in 2014
To enjoy the seasons, and because I CAN, and to stay functional as I get older
1) What sports if any did you do competitively in high school/ college?I played field hockey from age 9-10 to 20 - was a very fast winger, but didn't do distance. I got very lazy in college.
2) How long have you been running? 2 months
3) How long have you been racing? 1 month
4) What are your most proud accomplishments in running? when I feel **** , but after a run I feel great - sometimes that is enough accomplishment
5) What are your future goals for running? to do my hometown Dublin marathon in the next (my 50th ) year.
6) Why do you run? because I have to catch up on those 30 years of not running
27.45 - First 5k, aged 49Goals: Dingle half Marathon 2014Dublin City Marathon 2014To get out running /walking most days every week even in bad weather
Off and on for 10 years
I ran a marathon in 2006 (My 1st race ever) but I really started participating in races in 2012.
Finishing the marathon and running a half in 1:44.
To run another marathon in hopefully under 4 hours.
I run because it is such a great stress reliever. I also run because it keeps me healthy and because I can!
1. as a freshmen i did soccer and track and then the rest of my HS i did XC and XC skiing and track College the two college i went to did not have track or XC so i did not run for 10 years.
2. 8 years over a 10 year period of time
3 i have been racing for 8 years stared at the 5k and not half marathons
4. my 1st half marathon i did all of my self the training and no runner partner and also being on the VT state XC state champion team
5. to do a full marathon and run a half marathon in all 50 states
6. to get a way from it all and put the stress of life and work away and to be fit
Absolutely none. I was in marching band though for all 4 years in high school and 2 years in college.
Started 2 years ago just after I turned 40
Since first 5K in February 2012
Finishing my last half marathon with absolutely no walking (not even during water stops).
Just ran a 4 miler with my best pace ever (better than my prior 5Ks)
To avoid injury
To run a marathon next year.
Would also love to get down to 10:00min/mile pace for a half marathon.
To stay fit. I can't stop since I know what it took to get to where I am at now.
These were fun to read through!
I was on a competitive dance team in high school.
Dabbled the first two years of college, committed to running for fitness in 2005.
I'm not particularly fast, and have never done much speed training, but I've been participating in races since 2006.
My one and only marathon (Detroit 2007), running with no walk breaks through my first two half marathons, my 10K PR (48:49, I worked hard for that).
I want to explore my potential and get faster. I have grandiose dreams of running Boston 2018, I've even laid out the next 18 months of my running plan. First I have to give birth in March, recover, then take 45 minutes off my only marathon time from 6 years ago
I feel like me when I run. Even after all these years, it's still exciting, it's still challenging. I just ran my niece and nephew's first race with them last week, and the feeling of pride and accomplishment that they showed me was amazing. I coach with Girls on the Run, and I've seen a handful of our girls really spark a passion for running. I love the community of runners I've met in my neighborhood.
Pumpkin Pie 5K 11/15
Turkey Trot 4 Miler 11/27
Christmas Carol Classic 5K 12/20
Lucky Laces 10K 3/15
Colfax Marathon 5/17
Hello CassandraAnn1
Your curiosity must have a reason, I am as fascinated by this sport, and always wanted to know,
So here are my answers:
Short distance running, basketball.
Over 15 years.
In the first few years about three races a year, and then I had to give it up.
Completed half marathon this fall in 2 hours, and the fact that I was not stressed, nor suffered any anxiety (seriously)! Before and during the race, totally relaxed was my greatest pride and accomplishment.
Do a few more half marathon; continue running until I am scraped off the road (or sidewalk).
To stay fit, compliment and balance my other sport activities (hiking, swimming) and because it brings the best version of me!!! (not my original quote) but so true.

Ingham County woman is Michigan's 8th meningitis death
An 88-year-old Ingham County woman is the 8th person to die in Michigan from a nationwide meningitis outbreak.
There have been 124 cases of the fungal meningitis illness in the state.
The outbreak has been linked to contaminated steroid shots made at the New England Compounding Center in Massachusetts.
Meanwhile, the director of the Massachusetts Pharmacy Board has been fired for ignoring a complaint about the pharmacy before it shipped the tainted shots.

Boiling Sausage in Beer - safe for kids?
A lot of recipes, or rather cooking methods I see for fresh polish sausage (kielbasa), italian sausage and bratwurst have boiling the sausage as at least part of the cooking method. For polish, some say just boil for 45 min and serbe...others say boil for 10-60 min, then braise or pan fry or grill to get a "crusty skin".
A number of the "boil" proponents say not to boil in water but to do so in beer or something else. The question I have is if boiling sausage in beer causes the sausage to become unsafe (from an alcohol or other standpoint) for minors.
Appreciate any advice on great ways to cook fresh polish, italian and bratwurst sausages.
re: kainoa
I think it's actually not true that alcohol boils away in cooking (at least not terribly quickly) but I also can't imagine that any significant amount of alcohol seeps into the sausage.
Millions of kids have safely eaten brats and other sausage cooked in beer.
Just and aside but why would small amounts of alcohol be unsafe for minors? I was brought up with wine at dinner from a very young age and although I was brought up in the States, in Europe this is common. Maybe not so common, I received my first pro wine tasting cup on my fourth or fifth birthday and learned to savor and appreciate wines and spirits well before my teens.
Children who are exposed to proper alcohol use learn appropriate drinking and the surrounding behaviors and don't become the binge drinking maniacs that kids who never get any experience with alcohol and suddenly go away to college become. Also statistically teens who learn how to handle their alcohol before they learn to drive have a much lower unsafe drinking and driving record than those who have to learn safe alcohol use after learning to drive.
I have a very good friend who's been in AA for decades now who tells me not to worry about, for instance, putting white wine in my moules mariniere or red wine in a boeuf Bourguignon. This same friend will ask me to taste a dessert he's been served to make sure there's no rum or other alcohol in it. I don't know for sure whether the alcohol cooks away or not, but I do know he wouldn't eat it if he weren't pretty darned sure it did.
re: JoanN
Heating the alcohol, as in a stew or moules, will cook off most of the alcohol, if not all. Stirring a few Tbs. of liqueur into a cream filling for a dessert will have no such effect-- the alcohol wont burn off -- but I suspect it's the very "boozy" taste in a rum dessert that your AA friend objects to.
I serve brats cooked in beer all the time to my friends' kids. They never seem affected by alcohol, but perhaps it's soaked up by the mass quantities of Pirate's Booty that serves as the amuse for the younger set.
A sausage boiled in beer probably picks up less alcohol than you'd get from eating a ripe orange.
I drink plenty of beer but don't waste any cooking bratwurst or other sausages (!), I just boil in water and then brown in pork fat. I don't think that boiling in beer is a worry for kids though, more a problem for an alcoholic I'd guess. Heating will drive off the alcohol as it has a lower boiling point than water, that's how distilling works - the alcohol vapor is cooled and collected in long tubes that drain away the last bits of water.
I would be more concerned about the red no.5 and crazy sugars in the Kool-ade. Aside from the alcohol, beer is a health food what with all of the whole grains and spring water!
I imagine it's safe for kids.Never heard of this until recently anyways.Never recall my dad who was german saying anything about the family doing this.Guess grandma just bolied them in regular water or broiled or baked them.
My dad said his father grew up with a pitcher of wine on the table,a custom which my great grandparents brought from Germany.Lots of kids in Europe drink wine with the family meal.
Parents probably let them have a small glass or taste of beer.
I'm sure it's fine
The worst that could happen is that your kids get some extra nutrients from the beer. Most of the alcohol will boil out in 15-20 minutes.
If only we could ask one of the early British, French, Dutch, or Spanish colonists or even the Vikings for advice. They fed wine and beer to children and adults on a regular basis for its nutritious qualities. I imagine that they cooked with it as well.

For Kurtis Bassmann, art is a hobby, but with a serious twist. He focuses on architecture at the Wheatley School, but has a flair for darkness when it comes to his two pieces that were on display Nov. 1, during the "Nightmare on Main
Street" exhibition at the Huntington Arts Council.
The East Williston resident has been drawing since he was 4 years old. Bassmann, 17, designs his work in art teacher Nicole Walsh's class. He called it a twist of fate.
"She knew they were having the [showing] and I happened to have two pieces that were Halloween-themed, eery design," he said.
His first art piece, "Day of the Dead" was a class assignment. The day is commemorated in Mexico and lasts from Oct. 31 through Nov. 2.
Bassmann thought to stick to the tradition and pen a drawing highlighting the culture, but opted for something different; something original. The design sports alien spaceships, two earths, fire and teeth.
"I was thinking 'okay I can try to come up with something more cultural,' but I didn't know anything really about traditional skulls, so I figured I'd go the sci-fi route with an original skull," he said.
Bassmann feels his drawing doesn't convey a defined theme. However, his desire to make the "Day of the Dead" his own is what fueled the design.
"There's no real message I guess," Bassmann said. "You could say it's extraterrestrial, space-aged themed, but a lot of it is a bunch of designs. The design is kind of technological, the way the lines are. I wanted to put a newer twist on it."
His second piece of art, a still-life dubbed "Remnants," showcases a skull, pearl necklace along with a skull, magnifying glass and items to resemble the pieces of a crime scene, according to Bassmann. While his first piece sports multiple color schemes, Bassmann's second display showcases muted tones.
"It's sort of a remnant of a crime scene investigation," said Bassmann. "It has more dull colors. I tried to not use black. I tried to use more purples to give it a sadder tone."
But why skulls? Bassmann said there are quite a few skulls in his classroom as well as bones. He said the variation in shape of skulls is what drew him in.
He wants his love of architecture to be a "very useful tool in communicating ideas." Bassmann's main interest is in modern architecture. His favorite site? The Guggenheim Museum.
"I like architectural drawings, landscapes and cityscapes," Bassmann said. "I like to use lines to communicate value or depth. I like shading, but I like using different types of lines."
He feels Cooper Union in New York would be the best spot to take his talents after high school. Bassmann has already attended summer and Saturday programs at CU, taking drawing, printmaking and art issues/writing classes, which go towards an advanced regents diploma.
"My dad had gone to school there and he had always talked about it since I was little," he said. "I always imagined it to be a great place."

|Poll: How do you use the valve clips at the struts of your kite?
Total Votes: 59
|I close them all every time I go out
|I close just one
|I only close them when it's hairy out there
|I never touch them
|Valve clips? Say what?
In the Rise Venturi XPD topic an interesting (at least for some of us) conversation broke out about the use of the valve clips, I'm moving these posts in this new topic here.
So Ladies and Gentlemen of The Crew, share your ideas and knowledge here, and don't forget the poll!
Inflated struts - there's no real need for that as the time you win by not pumping them you easily loose over closing the strut valves. I wonder who uses them all the time - if at all, I only use them when it's really really hairy.
I clip them off every time I go out. Unfortunately I've had too many leading edges blow out over the years, and at least with the struts holding air, I can make a raft and swim in.
Also, I like to keep the struts inflated so that after washing the kite out, I can stand it up in the garage and let it dry out. Although 2 of the struts on my 12m seem to deflate when the LE is empty. I've still not worked out where the air is going. So currently, I roll the kite up with the struts up and carry it back to the van as is. Makes my arms ache though.

129 Zen '09, 150 Mako '09, 159 Spleene Door, 6'1" Circle One
Unfortunately I've had too many leading edges blow out over the years, and at least with the struts holding air, I can make a raft and swim in.
I usually clip down only the middle strut. I beleive that is enough if the LE blows, I will be able to roll the kite and pack it in the water and the kite will not drown. I have not test this though and hope I will never have to. If someone knows more in this subject, please enlighten us!
Every time for me. You never know.
The only kiter in the Village
Really handy cause ders a fella I know whos practicing handlepasses and he dosent use the velcro covring the leading edge valve so that when the kite falls it dosent pop.Witthout the clips you'd have to pump the whole kite up every time.
This is a must for everyone kiting in San Francisco, where a completely flat kite could mean the end of it all. We have to be able to use the kite to self rescue, stay afloat, and for a visual aid for the Coast Guard and the tankers and everything else in the shipping channel. Going out the Gate with a downed kite on a 4 knot ebb in heavy fog is scary enough as it..it would be just plain horrible with a completely flat kite. No one with any common sense/experience would buy a kite here if it did not have the clips. This is also why everyone buys/orders kites in bright colors only.

I never close them, but reading this i think i wil close them when i go out on the sea.
So far I've closed them all each session.
Dorset UK
I always close them. Why would anyone not ?
It takes almost no time at all.
Honestly, I don't use them to often , but they are a must.
Ocean Rodeo Rep.
St. John's Newfoundland, Canada
I usually close all of them.
If I am working on something where I expect the kite to crash hard I leave the middle strut clamp open - "so the air has somewhere to go" when the leading edge slams into the water.
Faulty logic probably but makes sense to me
I leave them open so the pressure has somewhere to go when the kite takes a hard hit.
They are very handy when you want to leave the struts inflated for another session later in the day,
or if you want to dry the kite out. So I do use them, just on land though.
They are also very nice to have when you want to isolate a leak in one of the bladders.
It helped me locate a slow leak caused by a thorn in the LE a few weeks ago.
I always close them all. I crash my kite a lot on a suicide leash, and on hard crashes, the inflate or deflate valve pops open. It's nice to have the struts inflated for the long swim in. I've had leaks in struts as well. Kites fly pretty well with one or two flat struts, not so well with a floppy leading edge.

In your case the in or deflate valve would not open if you leave the strut valve clips open.
I never close them..but I'm always near the beach
I close them all the time. I had to self rescue last week and that is enough said…

Eurex is to extend trading of its euro-denominated equity index products by one hour from June 1, as the exchange seeks to draw in more trade from clients in Asia-Pacific time zones. Trading will begin at 8am Central European Time instead of the current 9am, and close as scheduled currently.This brings the equity index market into line with Eurex's interest rate derivatives, which already open one hour early. Last November, the exchange also extended trading hours on some of its benchmark products to 10pm to cover a greater part of the US trading day, although some markets still close at 5:30pm.
"Asia is a market of significant importance to Eurex," said Peter Reitz, member of the executive board of Eurex. "Following the receipt of market operator status by the Monetary Authority of Singapore in late 2005, Eurex is building a telecommunications hub in Singapore and is currently in the process of connecting market participants to the Eurex system."
Equity derivatives have been steadily growing in most parts of the world, and reached record levels in 2005 as investors sought to lock-in or profit from the recent upward trend in stock prices. Indeed, Eurex reported March was its strongest trading month ever, with 149 million contracts traded – an increase of 27% compared with the previous year.

Emigrant Fire Grows To 250 Acres
Gallatin National Forest Officials say the Emigrant Fire north of Yellowstone has grown to approximately 250 acres now. The fire is actively burning the large ground fuels in the area, and single and group tree torching has also been observed. Extremely steep terrain is hampering efforts of firefighters on the grond. Monday afternoon, a Type 1 hotshot crew and two helicopters arrived on the scene and were preparing to be deployed to the fire site. There has still been no containment established. Fire officials say they are not concerned at this time that the fire will threaten private property.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Nate Robinson scored 24 points and Richard Hamilton added 23 to lead the Chicago Bulls in a 100-94 preseason victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night.
Joakim Noah scored 16 points for the Bulls (2-2). Robinson started in place of Kirk Hinrich, who sat out with a sore right thumb.
Brandon Jennings, Samuel Dalembert and Mike Dunleavy each scored 13 points for the Bucks (2-1), who shot 41.9 percent from the field. Rookie John Henson exited with a left knee injury and did not return.
The Bucks pulled to 94-91 after a 14-4 run capped by Beno Udrih's two free throws with 3:02 left.
Robinson responded with a jumper, and Hamilton and Carlos Boozer each hit two free throws to put the game away.

Having a few tips for success in your back pocket might just come in handy when you are looking to reengage past funders or have conversations with new ones. Below are some tips given directly from Foundation leaders and program officers about working with foundations to secure grant funding. Where better to get advice than from the people who write the checks?
What should grantseekers look for BEFORE submitting a proposal?
- Do your research!
- Know who is on the foundation board. Do you have a connection?
- Does the foundation have established priorities that align with your mission?
- Review the foundation's past grant awards.
- What is the foundation's typical dollar range for grant making?
- Are they open to Challenge Grants?
- What is their funding cycle?
- Call and speak to a Program Officer to make your initial contact (if allowed for unsolicited).
What do Foundations look for AFTER the proposal has been submitted?
- Complete and thorough answers to questions. Don't just give a partial answer.
- Concise needs statements. Why should we fund your project? What difference will it make?
- Broad public support.
- Detailed budget.
- Evidence of collaboration—not just letters of support.
- Most foundations don't like to be the "first ones in" with money.
My best advice is "do your research". I've been there, done that and seen what it is like to learn the hard way. Don't go blindly into the proposal process or set unrealistic expectations for your team because you heard "somewhere" that a foundation funds programs like yours. Be smart and stay on track. A little research can go a long way!

Now *third parties* suggest they have 200,000 - 500,000 servers, because they're bigger now and the hype has increased accordingly.
Google does not disclose how many servers it has, I think it is because it would be a huge disappointment.
They serve say 300 million queries a day. And say 2-5 billion adverts. So lets say 5 billion impressions a day. Thats less than 60,000 a seconds. If say each server can deliver 10 a second (in reality its 100-500), then thats 6000 server on general load.
A quick sanity check, say 30 data centres take the bulk of the load, that would be 200 servers per data centre or say 20 racks. About a floors worth of servers, which is what their NY center is, one floors worth of servers.
That number already has a 10-1 safety factor built into it.
Basically servers got a lot faster, and the exaggerated numbers got a lot bigger. I would put their servers at less than 10,000 now.
Hidden pollution?
Interesting article, it's amazing when you think that just by searching Google you're contributing to pollution. 5000 megawatts is more than the output of Drax power station, which supplies about 5% of the UKs electricity. To put it another way, it's Europe's second largest coal fired station, one of the most efficient and cleanest, yet can still chew its way through 36,000 tonnes of coal a day and pumps out nearly 23 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. In other words, the poorest 103 nations in the world, *combined*, consume and pollute less than Google. It's a frightening statistic when you think what Google is doing is hardly essential to the survival of mankind and in some respects is on the absolute periphery, if you think the biggest searches on Google for 2006 were Bebo and Myspace...
Meaningless stats
We all agree with the principles of corporate transparency and social responsibility, but what on the warming Earth does this paragraph mean :
"The ad broker builds a ton of data centers – some of the biggest data centers in the world. According to a recent study, the power needed to run and cool all of the data centers in the US equals the amount of energy needed to keep our color televisions glowing. It takes about five 1000MW power plants to fuel those servers here and 14 similar plans to power servers worldwide."
Is that all of Google's data centers in the US or all data centers full stop? Whose color televisions? Whose servers does it take five 1000MW power plants to run? Does "here" mean the US and is the power consumption just for the US servers or does that cover the 14 similar plants, whoever they belong to and wherever they are?
A bit less wishy washiness would be nice.
Outright Stupid
Google -> Data Centres -> Power -> Global Warming -> Penguins !
Thats is the *stupidest* analogy I've ever come accross.
It depends
Analysis of just part of anything gets weird answers ... so Google datacentres consume a lot of energy, but relative to the amount of information that they help distribute it is perhaps tiny. The article does not address the broader systemic issue.
And with regard to the role of influence in getting favorable legislation ... again this can be very positive or absolutely corrupt. It depends. On balance it tends to create damaging economic distortion.
What an attitude!
Good grief Ashlee, did someone from Google piss in your Cheerios?
Google's exec taking the piss
"We're in a highly competitive industry and, frankly, one or two little pieces of information like that in the hands of our competitors can do us considerable damage. So we can't discuss it."
As (and even more than) you stated, Ashley, pls someone
knocks this moron's head into the wall for the cubic meters
of p**s he's pouring onto us !
How on earth can one disclose anything out of a datacenter,
from power and water usage ? It is easy to have the same
power/water footprint and be anywhere on a 1-10 scale of
processing power, thus, good luck for getting the secret
algorithms of Google, even if you forget they are in each of
the boxes they sell, and thus open to reverse-engineering !
I'm with Alex Schlup - maybe a bootnote would help.
As for Nanuk's comment, this wasn't really worth making without qualifying the criticism with something specific.
Hmm - out by several orders of magnitude, I fear. What is it with journalists and statistics?
"It takes about five 1000MW power plants to fuel those servers here and 14 similar plan[t]s to power servers worldwide."
I make that 19 Gigawatts, and if each server consumes 190W (to keep the maths simple - I'm being pessimistic, my PC and 3D graphics card consumes a mere 70W) you get 100 million servers, or maybe 90 million if you allow for the coffee machines. You certainly won't need a lot for heating...

Google probably saves more power than it expends
What uses more energy? A person visiting a dozen shops in the vague hope that one of them might sell what he wants, or a person who narrows down the choice by doing a google search and only visiting the shops that say they sell the product?
OK, we're not quite there yet. Far too many laxadaisical web sites like B&Q, homebase and tesco, where the web site has very little resemblance to what's actually in the shops -- and google can't properly index what's in the shops if the shops themselves haven't got half their products on the web site. And far too many sites which, even if they say what they sell, fail to say what it costs so you still have to drive round the stores aimlessly to decide what to buy and where. But there are one or two properly-functional web sites -- like Argos, which not only tells you about *every* product in the store, but will also confirm whether your *local* shop has it -- and let you reserve it to be sure it is still there when you arrive.
If every store had a web site like the Argos one, google could do a much better job of cutting down the number of stores you have to visit and would therefore save even more power.
You're 'aving a laugh
5000MW ! You're 'aving a laugh - that's nearly enough to power London.
Where have all these new power stations been built ? (The UKs largest coal fired power station only manages 4000MW)
I wonder who is the stupidest person
at Google? I mean, there must be one.
Perhaps he or she is still a semi genius or somesuch. It would be quite an accolade.
Penguins are quite aerodynamic, but I wouldn't fancy trying to catch one beak-on, as it were, in the mouth. Killer whales have such soft, friendly looking tongues, too.
I thought it was well argued...
I think some people are trying to mitigate the salient points of the article, I think those that do need to stand in line with the climate change deniers, flat eathers and the like. It's not picking on Google as such - they're just a part of the problem. When just one company uses the equivalent of 5% of the UKs energy then we have a problem which ever way you cut it. Given that relative to the history of humankind, should we really be puking out 23 million tonnes of carbon dioxide for a dog and pony show like Google?
yr all wimps
the answer is simple for you liberal morons or as I like to call it,'gore-ons'...boycott Google and use ask jeeves or ms dewey...you may not like the results but what the hell, you'll be in ignorant bliss.
More arithmetic
Having now found the original (February) article containing these dodgy stats, I think I've finally grasped the rather tenuous logic. Apparently, all the power consumed by computers, the buildings used to house them and their operators, and to cool/heat/light/feed them comes to an impressive-sounding figure, and it's all Google's fault. Google's bit in all this is probably not so impressive, but in any case we're not told. We're also not told that even 19GW isn't that big a proportion of the 12TW of electricity consumed globally - in fact, I work it out to be about 0.16%, leaving 99.84% being mopped up by things other than computers, even Linux-powered ones. So much for damage to penguins...
Google Goes Glacial
Here's me been thinking all day it's an iceberg, not a glacier.
The lack of the 4/5 under water presumably being, er, artistic licence...
Thanks for the feedback
Just wanted to thank you all for the fine comments.
My rather fluffy writing style seems to have made sure the central point in this was missed. I'm not blaming Google for the world's woes but rather asking that the allegedly green-minded company be less shy about releasing its power consumption figures.
I'm sure you've all noticed the major IT vendors banging on about green computing with all their might. Why not demand that they live up to the hype with full disclosure?
Even Google can give up on its secrecy stance in this area, no?
Full disclosure is useless without proper handling
I think the major point coming from most of these comments is that this article (and, in fact most journalism today) throws numbers out there without fully 1. checking the numbers, 2. analyzing the context of the numbers, and consequently 3. producing usable information from those numbers.
Checking the numbers would reveal that the Google server "count" was at best a wild guess, and the power consumption calculations were at least suspect, if not downright wrong.
Analyzing the context of the numbers would have brought in the idea that perhaps (probably very likely) all that power used by Google's servers has less of an effect than the alternatives to web-based searching.
I would prefer full disclosure as well, but until the world's journalists show that they can actually do math and critical thinking right, I don't blame companies from withholding information from you.
Dear Steve
I see what you're saying, although the larger point is being lost again, I fear.
That study was the most comprehensive of its kind to date. Make of it what you will.
You don't need any numbers, however, to know that data centers use up energy - a lot of it. Google has close to, if not more than, a million servers. It complains all the time that energy costs outweigh its hardware costs. That's a lot of energy.
Lies, Dammed Lies and El Reg articles
"You don't need any numbers, however, to know that data centers use up energy..."
So, if you don't need any numbers, why write an article based entirely around numbers that are 'dodgy' at best?
M$ a bigger power waster.
Power management might work if Microsoft were more interested in making things work than screwing their competition:
I imagine that the combined power waste of Google's users is orders of magnitudes greater than the amount of power used by Google providing the service. For that we can thank Bill Gates.
Penguins are bastards, I say kill the lot of them - and while you're at it, those polar bears aren't much better.
Google -> Power -> Global Warming -> Death to all the Penguins.
Actually that's not a reach, it's bang on the money. It just misses out all the other consequences, and gives you one you get your head around.
Should you pick on Google, and not, say Ford or California? (but it's soo not cool to sweat, after all what's the point of all that cosmetic surgery if I look ugly because I'm sweating.. crank up the AC and fuck the penguins)..
I believe the point here is the "Look at us - we're so cool and groovy, and like don't be evil man.. oh and fuck the penguins we need another 50 data centers for the sake of the whole world."
Could he point the finger at a dozen other corporates? Obviously, but again the point seems to be that if you say "Don't Be Evil", that would include not killing Koala Bears, and at least make an effort not to consume more energy than California - rather than hide the fact you do.
Google has hundreds of thousands of servers at least. Most of them crawl the web and index, they don't serve the user requests. Also, each CPU uses around 75-125W and the HVAC systems need to shift that same energy outside of the datacenter, so the actual heat output is greater than the consumption of the computers Typical datacenters being built today use about 2-50MW, all of which is exhausted as heat, unlike in some facilities, like factories.
DC for DCs?
More numbers for you to argue over: New Scientist quotes Digital Power Group, a Washington DC-based energy research firm, who claim 10% of electricity currently generated in the US is consumed by computers. Servers, specifically, use 14.8 TWH, according to 2004 figures from the Electric Power Research Institute in California.
A lot of this power is used on cooling, because every single server has its own rectifying power supply to provide direct current, and these generate heat. Even more ludicrously, the mains AC supply in a datacentre is usually rectified to charge the battery-backed UPS, and then converted back to AC for the servers. If all of these could be replaced by one rectification unit that supplies direct current to the entire datacentre, you'd slash cooling costs at a stroke. The trouble is, no-one is yet making DC power supplies for servers.
You'll need to be a subscriber to read the whole article. If you're not, fire up the SUV and take a trip to your local air-conditioned library.
"Even more ludicrously, the mains AC supply in a datacentre is usually rectified to charge the battery-backed UPS, and then converted back to AC for the servers."
This method leaves the individual servers far less vulnerable to power surges from things like lightning strikes than would be the case when running the ac straight in. Also, any failure of the charging system for the UPS is identified and dealt with right away, rather than remaining undiscovered right up until the time when it's really needed.
Easy Solution
Simply use the power gained by burning all the dead penguins. I'm fairly sure the emissions of penguin carcasses are far lower than coal - problem solved.
Google likely efficient !
I'd suppose, to both save money, and to be as little *evil* as possible, that Google uses the best power per watt systems it possibly can, and it general, done well, larger data centers are more efficient than smaller ones
So if there wasn't this *monster* Google, do you think there'd be more searches or less ? .. I know before Google, I'd use about 3 search engines to find results
remember all the ad banners and other graphic links ? .. seems to me dynamicly generated text ads take less bandwidth and storage than animated or flash ads
... think there would need to be more servers that would be less efficient (older on average) if we still had 2-3 mediocre search engines we had to go to, and advertizing was less consolidated and less in text form
we'll see .. AOL got stuck with declining revenues and large, aging, inefficient data centers .. maybe in 5 years Google will have the same problem, and no longer the capital to rebuild there own infrastructure to compete with newer data center / network design and server efficiency for space and power
problematic to have 800 acres when 7 years down the road when you might be able to do the same on 80 acres with 20 employees
Comments attacking peripheral issues because...
It's funny how articles questioning the practices of people like M$, Linux, Apple and Google seem to get an array of responses that attack minor details (colour televisions) and peripheral issues (eg everyone else is doing it too).
The central point of this article is clearly that lobbying for legislation to keep your (significant) power consumption secret is dodgy when your motto is "dont be evil" and you pretty much claim to be socially and environmentally responsible in everything you do.
Could it be that many of these commenters are just desperate to defend their beloved Google/Linux/MS/Apple/Bush/Blair because they truly believe that they can 'do no evil'? It certainly seems true for the 'Google probably saves more power than it expends' brigade - a PC connecting halfway round the world to a datacentre to find out where to buy something uses less power then wandering round a shopping centre does it? how ridiculous can you get!

text: On February 16, 1995, at 1505 Pacific standard time, a Skov- Papworth Q2 experimental home built airplane, N2103, collided with a runway sign at the Hollister Municipal Airport, Hollister, California, following a loss of control during a takeoff attempt. The aircraft was owned and operated by the pilot. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the operation. The aircraft incurred substantial damage in the accident sequence; however, the private pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured. The flight was originating at the time of the accident as a local area personal flight.According to the airport manager, the aircraft was using runway 31 for the takeoff attempt. Witnesses observed the conventional gear aircraft experience directional control difficulties during the ground roll as it veered several times from the centerline. About 1,200 feet into the ground roll, the aircraft veered left and struck a runway sign. The pilot continued the takeoff and eventually became airborne. After a local area flight, the aircraft returned to the airport and ground looped during the landing. Examination of the aircraft revealed significant damage to the composite material aircraft fuselage skin.The airport manager stated that on February 7 the pilot experienced similar ground directional control problems with the aircraft on three separate takeoff attempts. The aircraft ground looped off the runway on the first two attempts, followed by the pilot taxiing back to try a takeoff again. On the third attempt, the pilot veered left off the runway and entered a dirt median area as the pilot reduced the power. As the aircraft approached a drainage ditch, the pilot applied power and pulled the aircraft off the ground in a left, climbing turn. The aircraft narrowly missed colliding with a hangar on the airport.In a verbal statement to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspectors, the pilot said he purchased the aircraft on February 6 and was attempting to become familiar with the control characteristics. The pilot said the aircraft has an extremely small rudder area and was "very squirrelly" on the ground.Review of FAA airman and medical records revealed that the pilot's most recent medical certificate was issued January 17, 1995. The last medical certificate of record prior to that was issued on February 25, 1977. At the time of the 1977 medical examination, the pilot reported a total time of 150 hours.

Nir Rosen screws up, bigtime
You may have noticed that friend-of-the-blog Nir Rosen screwed up bigtime with his dumbass comments about Lara Logan.
Stupid, insensitive, inane, wrong-headed. Yup. My feeling in this situation is to hate the sin, not the sinner. I mean, a lot of my friends are dumbasses, and I've been there myself.
But a little voice in my head suggests that "sinner vs. sin" is the easy way out. So I ask you: What is the proper response? Should I ban Nir from the blog? I'm not promising to take your advice, but I'd like to know what you all think.

Former Colorado governor had missing moon rock
The rock was given to Gov. John Vanderhoof by the Nixon administration, which awarded bits of moon rubble to all 50 states.
Tue, Jun 01, 2010 at 04:34 PM
MOON ROCKS MIA: Experts say the whereabouts are unknown of hundreds of tiny rocks scooped up by U.S. astronauts and given to friendly nations by the Nixon administration. (Photo: NASA/AP)
A missing moon rock awarded to Colorado in 1974 has turned up in an ex-governor's house.
The lunar souvenir was given to former Gov. John Vanderhoof by the Nixon administration, which awarded bits of moon rubble to all 50 states and more than 130 foreign countries.
Vanderhoof is now 88 and living in Grand Junction. He has kept the rock on a plaque in his house and didn't think much of it until college students started looking for the moon rocks.
On Tuesday a Denver television station called to ask if he had Colorado's.
Vanderhoof joked that he had offered the rock to museums, but no one was interested. Its estimated value is $5 million.
Another set of moon rocks awarded to Colorado was found in storage at the state history museum about a decade ago.
