'Dork Tower' Comic Books Return
The 'Tao of Igor' Out in Spring 2011
Published: 06/29/2010, Last Updated: 06/30/2010 02:26am
After a two-year hiatus resulting from a number of family issues, Dork Tower creator John Kovalic has announced that he is planning to return to creating (and perhaps publishing) Dork Tower and Dr. Blink comic books. Kovalic is currently in the midst of "banging out the 20-page finale of The Tao of Igor," which may or may not be released as a stand-alone comic ( the long awaited Dork Tower #37), but, which will be printed as part of the 10th Dork Tower collection, aptly titled The Tao of Igor, which will be out in the Spring of 2011.
Kovalic is also resoliciting (via game and comic book distributors) the nine
Going forward Kovalic plans to release a 4 or 5-issue mini-series annually for both
Kovalic has sold over 75,000 copies of the various Dork Tower collections and a half-million issues of the Dork Tower comic book (counting promo issues), so there is little doubt that there is still plenty of interest in his humorous tales about the band of geeks who hang out at Pegasaurus Games in Mud Bay, Wisconsin.

STEM Certificate Program
The Christa McAuliffe Center at Framingham State University has partnered with PTC to provide professional development through the STEM Certificate Program for K-12 educators throughout New England. The main objective of the McAuliffe-PTC STEM Certificate Program is to improve educator effectiveness in STEM education. The program includes:
- Synchronous, online lectures instructed by industry and education experts,
- Hands-on sessions focused on how to author STEM curriculum for the K-12 classroom,
- Teacher-authored STEM curriculum available for use by Massachusetts educators,
- Industry and higher education mentoring,
- Presentation opportunities for teachers to exhibit best practice STEM education, and
- Donations from industry including curriculum packages, instructor contact hours, software donations (worth $50K), and professional consulting.
The STEM Certificate Program focuses primarily on Product Development Education, an interdisciplinary, project-based curriculum model rooted in engineering/design education as well as industry practices. What distinguishes Product Development Education from current engineering/design models is integration of industry practices as well as a framework for integrating multiple disciplines across the school curriculum.

Exploration Design Challenge
In March 2013, NASA launched an exciting new partnership with Lockheed Martin to engage students in America's next phase of human space exploration. The Exploration Design Challenge (EDC) invites students from kindergarten through 12th grade to learn more about one of the biggest challenges NASA faces before sending humans beyond low-Earth orbit: space radiation. Through a series of age-appropriate activities, participants will learn about radiation and its effects on humans and hardware destined for asteroids, Mars or other deep space locations. Orion is the vehicle for these space destinations and will make its maiden test flight in 2014.
The youngest explorers (K-4) will complete NASA education activities related to radiation. Upon completion, a teacher or other adult may submit the students' names to be flown on the 2014 Orion flight as honorary virtual crewmembers.
Those same opportunities are open to students in grades 5-8, but they also will design and develop a radiation shield prototype. Instructions, guidebooks and related content are provided on the EDC website.
High school participants have an even greater challenge - and opportunity! In addition to the activities listed above, teams of students will design a radiation shield prototype that meets established criteria and constraints. Teams will submit their designs, and the top five designs selected will be tested in a virtual radiation simulator. The winning team will travel to Florida for Orion's launch and have its design flown aboard the spacecraft!
This is an exciting, hands-on way to get students inspired and interested in what NASA does now and the grand plans ahead! All the details for the EDC are here: http://www.nasa.gov/education/edc.
WGBH Education Have You Heard About the Innovation Math Challenge?
The Innovation Math Challenge is for anyone who has an idea for creating fun and engaging math educational media for middle school. This challenge, run by WGBH, is in support of a math resource collection funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The resources will be available on PBS LearningMedia in 2014. Winning entries will become part of the collection and receive $1,000.
Get details here: http://www.wgbh.org/innovationfund/

Dynamic science educators provide fun, hands-on discovery activities that demystify science concepts, strengthen problem solving skills, and reinforce the scientific method. Classroom teachers and parents receive follow-up activities to reinforce learned concepts.
Visit http://bit.ly/TravelingScience to see a short video of the Traveling Science Workshops in action. Learn why teachers, PTO parents and principals see it as such an important complement to their school's curriculum. And, why students think it makes science fun!
To schedule your Traveling Science Workshop, call Jill Foster at 978-264-4200 ext.18 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
"There's A Scientist in My Classroom!" - Offered through the MIT Edgerton Center
This program aims to form collaborations resulting in classroom visits where STEM professionals will "tell the story" of how they became inspired to pursue a STEM career, and what their research/work and life is like now. Teachers and STEM researchers and engineers [graduate students, post-docs, staff and faculty] will network and craft a visit that will be age-appropriate, fun, and include visuals and hands-on activities. This is a great opportunity to learn more about cutting-edge STEM research, K-12 education, best practices for speaking with young audiences, and for classroom teachers and those with STEM careers to make meaningful connections.
To learn more, visit their web site: http://edgerton.mit.edu/k-12/teacher-resources/teacher-pd/scientist-classroom.

Paris Opera Ballet's LA SOURCE to Broadcast in Theaters, 8/26
La Source, a ballet in two acts, features choreography by Jean-Guillaume Bart and music by Leo Delibes and Ludwig Minkus. It will be shown in HD from the Paris Opera Ballet at The Palais Garnier on Sunday, August 26th, 11:00 a.m. EST. Running time is 136 minutes, plus one intermission. The broadcast was captured live at the November 4, 2011, performance.
A legendary and fantastical Persia provides the exotic backdrop for the thwarted loves of hunter Djemil, beautiful Nourreda and the water nymph Naïla. This production of La Source stars Karl Paquette, Isabelle Ciaravola, Mathias Heymann and Ludmilla Pagliero.
The production also features conductor Koen Kessels, designer Eric Ruf, costume designer Christian Lacroix and lighting designer Dominique Bruguiere.
Djemil: Karl Paquette
Nouredda: Isabelle Ciaravola
Naïla, the water nymph: Ludmila Pagliero
Zael, Naïla's elf: Mathias Heymann
Dadjé, favorite of the Khan: Nolwenn Daniel
Mozdock, Nouredda's brother: Vincent Chaillet
The Khan: Christophe Duquenne
Paris Opera Orchestra
The Stars, Principal Dancers and Corps de Ballet of the Paris Opera Ballet
On her way to marry the Khan of Ghendjib, the beautiful Nourreda and her party stop to rest by a stream in the rocky desert. When she admires a flower, the young hunter Djemil picks it for her. In payment for the favor, she asks him what he would like as his reward. When he replies that he wants her to lift her veil so he can see her face, she is furious and orders that he be tied up and left to the elements in the desert. However, the nymph Naïla, who is in love with Djemil, appears and promises to help him win Nourreda's love.
In the grand palace gardens the Khan's courtiers await Nourreda's arrival. A fanfare proclaims a visitor: Djemil, incognito, offers presents to the Khan and his soon-to-be wife. He asks Nourreda to choose any of the gifts; she selects a bejeweled flower. Djemil throws the flower to the ground, from which a spring magically gushes and Naïla emerges. She entrances the Khan with her dance and he implores her to become his wife. She agrees but only if he will dismiss Nourreda, which he does.
Freed from her betrothal to the Khan, Nourreda still rejects Djemil's suit. He appeals to Naïla for help. She says she will help him get Nourreda, but that if she does she, Naïla, will die. Despite the fact it will cost Naïla her life, Djemil says he wants Nourreda. When Djemil and Nourreda depart, as lovers, Naïla disappears back into the earth and the spring dries up.

There was an article in the Post Register, Idaho Falls, Idaho about a slave name Green Flake and how he chose to keep his master's name. I don't recall who they said was the master other than the last name was Flake.
I believe the Post Register does have an archive file although I don't know if it is online.

There are three parts to consumer fatigue in regards to sustainability: fatigue itself, consumer disconnects and combating fatigue. Fatigue can lead to consumers becoming less tolerant to a topic, less interested, or even abandonment if fatigue is coupled with distrust or fear. In the case of sustainability, consumers are choosing other priorities such as cost over sustainability itself. Consumer fatigue has been captured repeatedly in survey work by many researchers such as those below:
Consumer disconnects can only be remedied through education, however it must be targeted precisely. To market products using terms unfamiliar or confusing to consumers is to market in a foreign language. The research below represent good examples of current consumer disconnects:
Notice that the first three are disconnects around corporate behavior and the last three are health information disconnects. This is a troubled pattern as it shows disconnects in multiple directions making the re-education more complicated. Alliances between corporations and consumer interest groups, with expertise in sustainability, would be welcomed as consumers would be more likely to listen to and believe the consumer interest groups but also lend credibility to corporations in the alliance.
Consumers are more open to education during a recovery as they are ruled less by fear and more open to new information. During a recession consumers are ruled more by the day to day issues surrounding their circumstance and details essential to their survival. During a recovery consumers have less fear in their life and so become more exploratory and interested in the details around non-essential topics.
Research has already shown that with just a small amount of education, consumers' stance on a subject can be altered as seen with GMO research. GMO currently is being attacked here in the U.S., however the attacks are led by adversarial groups, not consumers. Consumers have little understanding of GMO yet are ruled by fear due to the media attention on the forces against GMO. Ironically, GMO is a sustainability solution, yet is not being positioned as such. Here are two studies which employed consumer education prior to asking the consumers their opinion of GMO products. Both studies pointed out to consumers that GMO can be used to boost nutritional attributes of crops. Here are their results:
Here are the subtle shifts in communication a company can make to better align with consumers.
Instead of: Generic "green" label statements
Try: Explain why the product has a green claim on label – educate the consumer
Instead of: Marketing how a sustainability practice helps your company
Try: Marketing how a sustainability practice helps the consumer
Instead of: Promoting how your company's sustainability efforts help the environment/community
Try: Empower consumers – give them the control over bettering their environment / community by using your products
In the end, watch for the following to take shape:

Sri Lanka. Empty beaches and crowded cities. Terraced tea plantations and wild jungles. Elephants and leopards, whales and monkeys, friendly people and incredible food. Ignored by travellers during two decades of civil conflict, tourism is only now starting to reappear on this teardrop-shaped island off the bottom of India.
While package tours are popular,they're far from the only way to see the best of what the country has to offer. I spent three weeks travelling independently around the southern and central parts of the island by bus, train and tuk-tuk, and the experience put Sri Lanka firmly near the top of my list of favourite destinations.
If you're considering budget travel in Sri Lanka, here's what you need to know.Continue Reading →
It's a natural tendency to want to know what happens next. That's why people read horoscopes, mindlessly scroll through Facebook for hours and binge watch every episode of Friends during one inglorious rainy weekend.
Apparently, though, it's not just Ross and Rachel's future that interests people. In the last few months, I've found myself being asked a single question much more often than before.
"Are you ever going to stop travelling?"
While six, twelve or even 24 months of wandering is somewhat acceptable, people seem to find more than that a bit strange. As my three year travel anniversary draws nearer, friends, family, taxi drivers, random strangers on the Internet have all started asking if this trip is going to end one day.
Aren't I sick of it yet? Isn't Lauren? Don't we want a house? Normal jobs? Kids? 2.4 puppies and a white picket SUV?Continue Reading →
After a quick side trip to Tikal, we returned to Belize and headed for the coast. What it lacked in jungles and ruins, it seemed to more make up for in beaches, and that was just fine by me. Plus, with distances being so short, we figured it was relatively easy to get from one place to another without taking all day to do so.
Apparently, we figured wrong. The 200km trip from San Ignacio to Placencia ended up taking over nine hours, involving three buses, a long and miserable wait and a kind-hearted water taxi driver who saved the day.
I'll admit that wasn't quite how I'd imagined things would go when I'd woken up that morning… but on the upside, there were fewer dead bodies this time around.Continue Reading →
We'd only spent a few days in Belize, not nearly enough to get a feel for the place, and already we were leaving. It wasn't a problem – we'd be back again in 48 hours – but it felt strange to be swapping currencies and languages yet again. We were off to Tikal.
Arguably the most famous of the Mayan ruins, Tikal sits around 100km into the northern part of Guatemala. There are stupidly-priced day trips that leave from various points in Belize, but (a) they require spending all day on a bus for a few hours in the park, missing sunrise and all the good bits and (b) did I mention they were stupidly priced?
So we opted for a more interesting plan.Continue Reading →
After the bloody introduction we'd had to Belize, I figured our time in this small Central American country could only improve. We'd marked out a vague itinerary for our two weeks, allowing plenty of time to not do very much – to ward off exhaustion, we'd finally learned to reign in the ambition when it came to exploring somewhere new in a hurry.
Sticker shock had made itself known even before we arrived, however – a quick glance at accommodation prices told us that Belize wasn't going to be cheap. A decent double room, often without air-conditioning, typically ran upwards of $40/night — without even the benefit of breakfast to take a little of the sting out of it.
Food, too, was expensive – maybe we'd just been spoiled by six months in Mexico, but cheap and delicious street eats seemed in short supply. Public transport, however? That, at least, was a bargain – the rickety old Bluebird buses bounced and rocked their way all over the country for a couple of bucks.
After half a day on one such bus from Belize City, we arrived in San Ignacio sleepy, grimy and with stomachs complaining loudly. A jerk chicken restaurant near the bus stop dealt with the intestinal cacophony, and when we finally tracked down our hotel, a shower removed most of the travel stink as well. Sleep, however, was going to have to wait. We had rocks to look at.Continue Reading →
With Lauren recovering from mono and the rainy season already starting, trekking was off the cards. No Everest Base Camp or Annapurna Circuit for me, at least not this year.
Nepal is plagued by chronic electricity shortages – scheduled power cuts happen every day for several hours, not to mention the unscheduled ones. Unless you're using cellular data, internet speeds are glacially slow as well. It's a terrible place to try to get any work done online.
For three weeks, then, I couldn't do what most visitors do in Nepal (trek), and I couldn't do what I usually do anywhere else in the world (work). What on earth did I actually do, then?
I stepped away.Continue Reading →
"What the hell?"
The bus lurched to a stop, passengers scrambling over each other to press their faces against the grimy windows. Sweat dripped from my forehead as the fickle breeze disappeared, while loud voices competed with distorted hip-hop from a dozen mobile phones.
In my exhausted state I could understand little of the heavily-accented Creole, but eventually a single word started to make itself heard over and over again.
A few people snapped photos on their phone as the bus eventually started to move, police waving the traffic on past what looked like a bundle of clothes in the middle of the road. Drawing closer, I realised that what I'd thought was discarded clothing was nothing of the sort.
The body of a man lay face-up on the highway, the broken remains of a motorbike scattered up and down the road. Thick, dark blood lay pooled around his head and body, baking in the heat of a tropical morning. The white towel over his face explained why I couldn't hear the wail of an approaching siren.
There would be no point calling this man an ambulance.
The murmurs from other passengers increased in volume as we passed, that single word being passed around like a football once again.
Dead.Continue Reading →
For someone with a history degree, I really didn't know much about the Mayans before I arrived in Mexico. I mean, it's not like they'd exactly had a huge impact on my home country of New Zealand – but you could say the same about the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians, and god knows I spent enough time studying the minutiae of what they got up to.
I was vaguely aware of a few stereotypes – ball games, fondness for animal and human sacrifice, a well-known calendar – but knew little detail. The few pictures I'd seen of Mayan pyramids didn't seem that impressive compared to those that housed the pharaohs, and all in all, I just didn't expect to be particularly wowed by the historical sites on the Yucatan peninsula.
And then, well, I went to them.Continue Reading →

Anyone Got the Time?

General Technology
""TIME: The indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole." (from Oxford Dictionary) This quiz is about various ways of keeping time throughout history and around the world."
15 Points Per Correct Answer - No time limit
The earliest "clock" was first used between 5000 and 3500 B.C.E. Its original name was "gnomon". Around 2000 B.C.E. Egyptians and Babylonians built tall obelisks that served the same purpose as a gnomon, allowing citizens to determine time of day. In modern times, many homes have smaller versions of this 'dial in their gardens, often made of stone. What celestial body is necessary to determine the time from this kind of clock?
(One Word)
There is some controversy over the significance of the Sun in the design of a pre-historic spherical English monument. Some think the Sun at the summer solstice influenced the design because of the Sun's location over the monument's famous "Heel Stone". Others argue that it was some kind of ancient calendar. Still others believe it was created by aliens. What is this ancient site?
(One Word)
Water clocks were developed to overcome the shortcomings of time keeping devices that required celestial bodies to keep time. They could also be used as timers. Which of the following is NOT true of the early water clocks?
These clocks were used to time speeches in law courts.
They needed constant adjustment so that there would be 12 hours per day, and 12 hours per night.
The clocks required three water chambers for water flow and collection.
They used bowls with holes in the center to allow water to flow through.
Grandfather clocks are a type of pendulum clock that has been around for centuries. They are notoriously bad for keeping accurate time. The first design for a grandfather clock was made in 1582. Who was responsible for this design?
Andreas Vesalius
Leonardo da Vinci
Daniel Bernoulli
Galileo Galilei
In 1927, Warren Marrison, a Canadian telecommunications engineer, invented a new kind of clock. This new oscillator clock was extremely accurate and worked on vibrations of a crystal in an electrical circuit. In the 1940s, many laboratories around the world switched from mechanical clocks to this new kind of clock. This new clock proved that the Earth, and its relationship to celestial bodies, was not a reliable way to keep time. A crystal of what mineral was used in this new clock?
(One Word)
The most accurate clocks in existence today are atomic clocks. The first atomic clocks, developed by Isidor Rabi, were based on vibrations of ammonia molecules. There are three elements that are commonly used in atomic clocks today and serve the same purpose in the clocks as the ammonia. Two of these elements are Hydrogen and Rubidium. The third element is the basis of the scientific definition of a second. What is this element?
(Alkali Metal)
GMT was established in 1884. GMT is what all the times of the world were based on until UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) was standardized in 1961. It was set as the standard at the International Meridian Conference when the location of the Prime Meridian was decided. What does GMT stand for?
(Three words, involving a city in England)
In addition to keeping time through clocks and watches, the passing of time is tracked on calendars. One very famous calendar is the Chinese Zodiac Calendar. This calendar is linked to Chinese legends and myths and the calendar itself consists of 12 periods (the 12 signs of the Zodiac). Each animal has specific character traits attached to it. The Chinese Zodiac Calendar dates back more than 2,000 years. Of the following, which is not one of the 12 animals used as the signs of the Zodiac?
Most people are familiar with the Mayan Calendar, but only in passing. The last day of the Mayan Calendar corresponds to December 21, 2012, the Winter Solstice. The calendar known as the Mayan Calendar was not invented by the Mayans, but was in use by most pre-Columbian Central American people. The Aztec and the Toltec, for example, used the same calendar, but changed the names of the months and the days of the week. The Calendar consists of three different but corresponding calendars that work together cyclically. Which of the following is NOT one of the three calendars that together make up the Mayan Calendar?
The Haab
The Uayeb
The Tzolkin
The Long Count
The Calendar we use today is the Gregorian Calendar, but before the Gregorian Calendar was adopted in 1582, the world used the Julian Calendar. The Julian Calendar consisted of 12 months, and also included a Leap Day every four years. In 45 B.C.E. when Julius Caesar created his calendar, he reorganized the months from the previously used Roman Calendar, adding days to create a calendar of 365 days. In honor of Julius Caesar, and his great-nephew Caesar Augustus (formerly Octavian), the Romans changed the names of the 7th and 8th calendar months from "Quintilis" and "Sextilis" to "Iulius" and "Augustus", respectively. Today, we call the eighth calendar month "August". What do we call the seventh calendar month?

Best Answer
Possibly, for some people...personally, I'd think it's healthier to keep your memories, and learn to deal with them...even a negative experience can have a positive effect on our lives...by giving up a memory, even a negative one, you're giving up part of yourself...
Best Answer
No forgetting. The brain is a recorder. But different interpretations of the experiences -- yes.

Social media
The National Zoo recently hosted an Instameet to give a handful of people an exclusive opportunity take photos of panda cub Bao Bao. Photo by Sharon Sipple.
Otto von Bismarck is credited with perhaps the most famous warning against exposing the inner workings of government. "Laws are like sausages," the Iron Chancellor supposedly cautioned. "It is better not to see them being made."
Bismarck governed a country that knows a thing or two about making sausages. But he never used Instagram, and the Berlin zoo didn't have panda cubs in the 19th century.
As federal agencies look for new ways to engage with the public, social media is playing an ever larger role. The latest avenues for allowing people to get behind-the-scenes glimpses of the federal sausage grinder are Instameets, which serve as meeting organizers for Instagram users to post photos of a place or event at a specific time.
Over the weekend, Instagram showcased the National Zoo's panda cub Bao Bao, and a handful of people got exclusive access to take pictures and upload them to Instagram.
Participants in the #ZooMeet were chosen based on an uploaded photo or video that explained why they wanted to be part of the Instameet.
For federal institutions that don't have a cuddly cub to attract an audience, posting pictures illustrating a day in the life of a Cabinet member or a shiny tech project could be a way to boost an agency's social media following.
"It could be everything from a Cabinet secretary to the receptionist who answers the phones taking over the [Instagram] account for a day and sharing images of what they're doing and how they're helping the American people through your agency," said Katie Harbath, a manager for policy at Facebook, during a recent webinar sponsored by the General Services Administration's Center for Excellence in Digital Government.
Other Instameets have been hosted at the Capitol and the White House gardens.
"I think that humanizing a lot of these agencies and helping to share what goes on can be a really great way to create some of that more authentic content," Harbath said.

Late tax bills: A lesson in governance
The memo ignited an outcry from municipal officials. The delay would mean that tax bills could not be sent until the end of the year, well past the time when the governments would need the operating revenue those bills would generate. Some towns and cities might have to borrow money to pay their operating expenses. Immediately, the DRA brass called a meeting with the DOE brass. Two days after the memo had been sent, the DOE discovered that, lo and behold, it would be able to have those numbers ready in October after all.
The DRA stated as a matter of fact that the DOE was incapable of preparing the data in time. It also stated in its memo: "It is the DRA's determination the most reasonable way to proceed is to postpone the finalization of municipal tax rates until the adequacy aid calculations are completed by DOE on November 7, 2013."
The lesson here is that government bureaucracies are ruled by inertia unless shocked out of it by some external force.
