Check out this online session with Scientist, K. Kasturirangan.Interesting concepts and the wonders of Space Science were unravelled before the curious students of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya during an online interactive session with noted space scientist and Member of Parliament K. Kasturirangan as part of the Science Outreach Month here recently.
An oracleMore than 1,000 students from different cities participated in the hour-long session that was conducted through think.com., a programme of the Oracle Education Foundation. During the session, right from the word "go", the students dominated the scene with series of queries that clearly belied their age and maturity. It was an exciting programme for the students who kept their eyes glued to the monitor screen waiting for answers to the questions that were explained patiently and lucidly by the senior scientist. His replies revealed the scope of the Indian space mission to the moon, Chandrayan and its successive missions planned in future. Answering a question on the evidence of any life form in other planets, Dr. Kasturirangan replied that there has been intense speculation regarding life on Mars, which comes from the detection of water and the existence of certain life evolving reactions on its surface. Titan is another moon that has an environment close to the primordial environment of Earth including the presence of methane, a precursor of life. But there's a long way to go to confirm such theories, he added. Explaining about the importance of telemedicine, he replied that the concept is a unique approach to deliver specialised healthcare at remote areas of the country, which still did not have access to specialty consultation. Since more than 98 per cent of the doctors were based in urban or semi-urban parts, the importance of connecting them to the rural areas is obvious. Satellites provided such connectivity where doctors could examine a patient's ECG, chest X-rays, blood sample and even ophthalmologic data and do proper assessment of their problems and give them real time advice to follow up, he told the students. The lead coach of oraclethink.com G.V.S. Nageswararao and S.S. Keerthi coordinated the programme.

Paul McCartney's Destiny Theme Song Sounds Bland
We have finally heard the Destiny theme song featuring the Beatles' Paul McCartney and longtime Halo composer Martin O'Donnell, and it wasn't what we expected.
Thanks to YouTube user promosounds, we get to hear 'Hope for the Future,' the theme song Paul McCartney made for Destiny. With Bungie's audio team, including Halo composers Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, working with McCartney at the famous Abbey Road Studios, we were a bit let down as to how the theme song ended up. Mind you, Destiny has a stellar soundtrack that perfectly syncs with the senses of desolation, hope and exploration the game evokes, but this song just felt off. We would hope that a former member of the Beatles wouldn't make something that sounded so overproduced. Much like Destiny's overarching story and Peter Dinklage's jargon-filled, phoned-in dialogue, 'Hope for the Future' had the formula for greatness, but ultimately felt like it didn't deliver. We really hope this wasn't one of the reasons why O'Donnell was mysteriously let go by Bungie.
'Hope for the Future' sounds like it could be the intro to a bad Bond film from the 1980s ('A View to a Kill' would be a fitting choice).
According to The Verge, Paul McCartney made the song and helped Bungie compose the soundtrack for free, citing a desire to reach a younger audience that completely missed his previous works, which we commend. For those who can't listen to the song right now, here are 'Hope for the Future's lyrics:
Some hope for the future; Some wait for the call
To say that the days ahead will be the best of all
We will build bridges up to the sky
Heavenly light surrounding you and I
From out of the darkness our future will come
If we leave the past behind we'll fly beyond the Sun
We'll be together, sharing the load
Watching in wonder as our lives unfold
Hope for the future
It's coming soon enough
How fast can we achieve?
Hope for the future
It will belong to us, if we believe.
Hope that rises in the dark
Where nothing's ever seen
Lighting undiscovered places no one's ever been
Some hope for the future; Some wait for the call
To say that our destiny will be the best of all
And we will build bridges up to the sky
Heavenly light surrounding you and I
Hope that rises in the dark
Where nothing's ever seen
Lighting undiscovered places no one's ever been
Hope for the future
We still can't believe one of the most celebrated musicians in history made this song. We're sure some of you might actually like it, if you're the type to have a Nickelback track as a ringtone.
There's lame galactic video game music, and then there's metal galactic game music:

White Squall Movie Review
White Squall is the true story of the Albatross, a ship carrying 13 boys as students of the Ocean Academy, a school-at-sea on which Christopher Sheldon (Jeff Bridges) is the captain. Setting sail in 1960 for a year-long voyage "half way around the world and back," the boys learn about discipline, facing ones fears, the joys of Danish schoolgirls, alcohol, venereal disease, and they occasionally even find some time to study.
In a completely unexpected turn of events (never mind the TV commercials) near the end of the tour, the ship encounters a mythical "white squall" (basically a mini-hurricane) and capsizes. (I won't spoil the ensuing aftermath like every other review you'll read.)
White Squall is really hard to get in to, and it's even harder to like. For a full hour, the ship is docked, and we explore the coming-of-age of these kids who are just absolutely hideous: there's the fighting, taunting, vomiting, dolphin-killing, pants-wetting, and toilet-exploding that makes the film seem like it should have starred ex-Saturday Night Live cast members. (As it is, the 13 boys are almost exactly alike with the exception of 1 or 2 with actual personalities.) And it's not just gross, it's predictable and over-simplistic.
This is all bad, yes, but believe me, you'll forget all about it when The Big Storm hits and the film reaches its watery climax. Scott really jumps into the film here, regaining his old sense of suspense, constructing an intricate and visually stunning sequence of events that lead to the gripping climax: the sinking of the Albatross. These are probably the best action scenes ever filmed on water, and they fully redeem the film for its earlier failures.
While the denouement is basically another bummer of a letdown, you'll still be coming off that adrenaline rush from the "squall scenes." Extra points if you even remember the ending after you leave... or any of the rest of the film, for that matter.

Utah Utes basketball: Runnin' Utes dramatically rally past Sun Devils, 60-55 (+video)
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — As Jason Washburn walked off the court following Utah's 60-55 win over Arizona State in the Huntsman Center on Wednesday night, the senior couldn't stop smiling while celebrating with his teammates and fans.
"I've got no words," Washburn said with a grin as he headed for another happy gathering in the locker room.
Washburn didn't need to say much at that point. He let his game do most of the talking. The center led the Utes with 26 points (equaling his career high), nine rebounds, two blocks and a pair of steals.
Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said he couldn't say enough about what Washburn did. Even so, the Utes' come-from-behind victory was hardly a one-man show. There were mass contributions in the win over the Sun Devils.
"It's really as resilient of a group as I've been around," Krystkowiak said after Utah rallied from a 49-41 deficit over the final 6:45.
The Utes hit 11 free throws down the stretch and had scores from four different players — Washburn, Jordan Loveridge, Jarred DuBois and Brandon Taylor — en route to pulling off the upset.
"We've had a great week of practice and hard work paid off tonight," said Loveridge, who contributed 13 points and six rebounds.
Utah's defense also made major contributions. Most notably, a charge that DuBois drew on Arizona State guard Jahii Carson with 16.6 seconds remaining helped preserve the win as the Utes improved to 11-13 overall and 3-9 in Pac-12 play. The Sun Devils dropped to 18-7 and 7-5.
"We didn't finish the game the way we needed to," said Arizona State coach Herb Sendek.
Utah wrapped things up with a game-ending 19-6 run. The Utes pulled ahead for good on a reverse layup by Washburn with 1:26 to go. Taylor, who hit a 3-pointer before Washburn's basket, added a pair of free throws with 32 seconds remaining to extend the Utes' lead to 56-53.
It proved to be enough to weather the storm. A dunk by Rusian Pateev was the lone score Arizona State managed the rest of the way. Washburn and DuBois iced the outcome by making two free throws apiece before time expired. The charge call factored in mightily as well.
"Our guys made the plays they needed to make," Washburn said. "Our guys hit the shots that they needed to hit and because of that we're sitting here having a good time."
Utah's second consecutive home win came in a game featuring just three lead changes and one tie.
Arizona State used a second-half surge — reeling off nine straight points — to climb back into contention and take a 41-37 lead with 10:18 left to play. The Sun Devils added to it before the Utes' comeback.
"We never gave up," Washburn said.
Utah got off to a good start, opening the game with a 14-4 run. Washburn paced the outburst with seven points. Jordan Loveridge added five during the seven-minute stretch that also included a basket by Jeremy Olsen.
Although ASU eventually pulled to within three on two occasions, the Utes managed to close the half with a 7-3 spurt to take a 29-22 lead into the break.
Washburn led all scorers with 15 points at halftime. He made 7 of 9 shots from the field as Utah built a commanding 18-6 points-in-the-paint advantage over the first 20 minutes of play.
EXTRA STUFF: The Utes return to action Sunday afternoon at home against ninth-ranked Arizona. ... Wednesday's attendance was 9,062. ... Taylor's clutch 3-pointer was his only make in seven shots from the field. ... Carrick Felix led ASU with 14 points and a game-high 11 rebounds.

Lots of suggestions!

We have a monarch for our iPads. It's only a charge one, not charge and sync. It's pretty good, nice and easy to keep the cables tidy and all the sides and back open up for easy access to the cables etc.
bertster (8th November 2013)
Main things to consider are the usage:
-Is it purely for charging or do you want synch functionality as well?
-Is it primarily being used as a storage device or security as well?
-Will it be utilised by students removing and replacing tablets? If so consider the design and ease as damaged chargers and power inputs can occur
-Will it need to travel between floors at any point?
-What tablets will it hold? Obviously this leads to a variety of compatibility, size and synch questions as well; some trolleys are very much specialist storage solutions for one model of tablet only, whereas others can be utilised with a mixed assortment of tablets.
There are a plethora of options out there now, each with pro's and con's, the key thing is to consider the real world usage and requirement rather than the "oo shiny" features that aren't relevant or the ultra low price point- quality costs after all.

bertster. What tablets do you got?
ICTDirect_Dave (8th November 2013)
Ah, let's see what the edugeek community shout out for. As a supplier we like them all, and we tend to supply what the customer asks for, so it'd be great to know what t'others have to say.
We use one called Lock and Charge. Ours holds 16 ipads, but they do one that holds 32. I find it really good. It's very sturdy I can roll it into my office to sync software from Apple Configurator in one fell swoop. Easy to roll around etc. And I like the 'shopping baskets' that hold the ipads. Plus it looks like an air-hostess's trolley, and we get no end of amusement offering people tea and coffee as we wheel it around.
We have two Isis charge and sync trolleys bought from RM. They do a 15 unit version and a 30. (we have the 30). There is the facility to store a MacBook also which can be plugged into the central hub for syncing the ipads. They are very robust, not unattractive (too many steel boxes on wheels around for my liking) and can be moved around the school easily by two students. The usb cables are plugged in to a hub behind a steel facia and secured by a zip tie to prevent them being pulled out of the hub. Generally very impressed.

Two robust millimeter-wave microstrip-to-waveguide transitions are proposed in this paper. The central operating frequency is 77 GHz, for collision-avoidance radar applications. The microstrip line has been first transformed into an air-filled rectangular waveguide whose height is equal to the substrate thickness. Then, a conventional multisection lambda/4 transformer has been used in the first transition, and a patch antenna in the second transition, to transform to the feeding WR12 waveguide. Experimental results for the first transition show an insertion loss less than 2 dB and a return loss better than 15 dB in a bandwidth of 3 GHz for the back-to-back transition.

Have you ever wanted to solve a mystery?
Well, in Sammy Keyes and the Hotel Thief by Wendelin Van Draanen, thirteen-year-old Sammy has no intention of becoming a detective until she happens to see a theft at the hotel across the street… and the thief sees her too. And she thought starting seventh grade was her biggest worry! Now Sammy is dodging the police, trying to outsmart a thief and hiding out from a suspicious neighbor, all while navigating the treacherous world of junior high.
This excellent audiobook series continues with Sammy Keyes and the Skeleton Man, Sammy Keyes and the Sisters of Mercy, Sammy Keyes and the Runaway Elf, Sammy Keyes and the Curse of Mustache Mary, Sammy Keyes and the Hollywood Mummy, Sammy Keyes and the Search for Snake Eyes, Sammy Keyes and the Art of Deception, Sammy Keyes and the Psycho Kitty Queen and Sammy Keyes and the Dead Giveaways.
Fans of spunky, modern girl detectives may also wish to check out these audiobooks: Gilda Joyce: Psychic Investigator by Jennifer Allison, Down the Rabbit Hole by Peter Abrahams and Shakespeare's Secret by Elise Broach.
Finally seeing a wider publication, Voyage to Kazohinia by Sandor Szathmari, should be a highly revered classic but has never received its well-deserved due (at least in the English language) until now. It was originally published in Hungary in 1941, then in Esperanto in 1958, and had a very small, limited release in an English translation in the 1970s. But New Europe Books has given it a 4th life and a wider distribution, which I hope brings it more readers. Often compared to Gulliver's Travels meets Brave New World with a touch of 1984 to boot, Voyage is the story of one, Gulliver, stranded on an island populated by two very different societies. The one he initially finds himself amongst are the Hins who, on the outset, seem to live in a utopia: no politics, no war, no starvation, and no disease. They enjoy a high standard of living for all, and no need for money since production is based on need. But there is a flip side: no art, no casual conversations (they only talk about rational needs), no sense of history (everything is about the here and now), no love, and no individuality (everyone wears the same style of dress for instance). It becomes unbearable as lack of conversation and loneliness take hold, so Gulliver decides to live with the Behins, who he has heard have feelings, in their walled off community. The Hins refer to them as "madmen" and he will soon discover why. This is satirical writing at its best. It will make you think about all the odd societal conventions as well as the political institutions that civilization hath wrought.

The event is hosted by the Native American Student Association at the University of Michigan, and will feature an amazing display of singers, dancers, drummers, artisans, and food vendors.
I had the opportunity to attend this massive Powwow last year, and was blown away by the the turnout; The Mother Earth Powwow attracts people from all over the country, and is the largest Powwow held in the Midwest. The drum circles, dancing, and beautiful traditional dress created a wonderfully energetic atmosphere. In addition, the food was delicious; I tried the buffalo burger on the Native American staple, fry bread. You can't go wrong there.
Powwows are commonly known as large gatherings that "Native American people use as a place to meet, dance, sing and otherwise renew and strengthen their rich culture. The Ann Arbor Powwow is one of the largest university-run pow wows in the country, with more than 1,000 of North America's greatest singers, dancers, artists and craftspeople." For more information about what Powwows are all about, check out this fabulous information page on the U of M's website, or read about Powwow's and Native American History in the AADL's catalog. In addition, if you'd like to sample some of the music you might hear at the Mother Earth Powwow, the AADL also has a large collection of Native American Music.
This is an event that only happens once a year, and is not to be missed! Doors will open at 10:30am and grand entries will be at 12pm on both Saturday & Sunday. Admission ranges from $10 for adults, with discounts for students, seniors, families, and children. For more information be sure to check out the official information page, as well as the event schedule. See you there!

One of the best things about listening to an audiobook is hearing the story in the character's voice. In L. A. Meyer's Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary "Jacky" Faber, Ship's Boy, narrator Katherine Kellgren reads with a strong Cockney accent that brings the heroine dramatically to life.
After she is reduced to begging on the streets of London, teenager Mary Faber takes a chance at a new life by disguising herself as a boy, Jacky, and joining a British warship on the hunt for pirates. Things become even more complicated when she falls in love with fellow ship's boy Jaimy and becomes the target of unwanted advances from another sailor. There's plenty of adventure, romance and scares in this award-winning audiobook.
The audiobook series continues with Curse of the Blue Tattoo, Under the Jolly Roger, In the Belly of the Bloodhound, Mississippi Jack, My Bonny Light Horseman, Rapture of the Deep, and The Wake of the Lorelei Lee.
YOU can access almost 1,000 digital music albums directly through our AADL.org catalog. Stream or download as much as you like, DRM free, on any device you choose. No waiting for a copy. No due dates. Hooray!
Made of Wood: Chillout Funk
"The Chill Funk Trip" is an album of groove-laden chilled out sounds, with influences from electronica, chillout lounge and funk. It's spacey, dreamy, eclectic and atmospheric. Inspirations for the sounds are wide-ranging: from Thievery Corporation and Massive Attack, to the Meters, Parliament Funkadelic, Radiohead and Air.
Kyven: 80s Pop with Modern Chops
"Hands Down" is an album of irresistible anthemic pop. With strong male vocals swimming in a sea of synthesizers, Kyven channels old dance favorites like New Order, Pet Shop Boys and Duran Duran.
Galatea - Paul Beier: Solo Lute of the Italian Renaissance
The 17th-century singer Barbara Strozzi is known as one of the finest women composers of the Italian Baroque. The works recorded here, by soprano Emanuella Galli and Galatea, come from her seventh publication of 1659 entitled Diporti di Euterpe, or "The Pleasures of Euterpe." In this work, Strozzi, at the height of her artistic powers, collaborated with some of the most important poets of the period to create works which are musically innovative, dramatically expressive, and exceedingly beautiful.
William Brooks: Songs From a Native Oklahoman
A great album for driving, "Blue Ribbon" features the very best of down-to-earth singer-songwriter William Brooks, whose blues-tinged, narrative folk-rock is appealingly world weary. Standout tracks include the down and dirty "Justified" and the tender, string infused "Grace."
The AADL recently added more than two dozen albums from the 'golden age' of rap to its music collection. The golden age refers to rap and hip hop music from the late '80s and early '90s, which Rolling Stone magazine describes as a period when "it seemed that every new single reinvented the genre."
Allmusic goes further to say the golden age "witnessed the best recordings from some of the biggest rappers in the genre's history....Overwhelmingly based in New York City, golden age rap is characterized by skeletal beats, samples cribbed from hard rock or soul tracks, and tough dis raps...rhymers like PE's Chuck D, Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One, Rakim, and LL Cool J basically invented the complex wordplay and lyrical kung-fu of later hip-hop."
Some highlights from the new additions:
Gang Starr -- Daily Operation (Released in 1992)
DJ Premier's crackling breakbeats and Guru's laid back delivery complement each other perfectly on Daily Operation -- whether Guru is rapping about relationships on "Ex Girl to the Next Girl" or breaking down the perpetuation of violence on "Soliloquy of Chaos", they had a way of accentuating each other's strengths like few other duos in music history.
Boogie Down Productions -- Criminal Minded (Released in 1987)
Criminal Minded is the first record from BDP, with KRS-One on the mic and DJ Scott La Rock laying down his signature sparse-yet-punchy beats. This is the KRS who can use one line to draw you into a scene, another to build the tension, and hit you right in the gut by the third.
Erik B & Rakim -- Paid in Full (Released in 1987)
It's still incredible how Rakim came up with his style back in 1987. There was no one as introspective, complex, and in the pocket at the time, and people are still trying to sound like him today. Erik B's innovative use of samples had everyone digging through dusty crates of James Brown LPs to find the next B-esque drum break to use. No doubt, this is a classic album.
The Melendys are ready for adventure! Are you?
In The Saturdays by Elizabeth Enright, siblings Mona, Rush, Randy (short for Miranda) and Oliver decide to pool their allowances so one sibling at a time can go on an adventure each Saturday – and so the Independent Saturday Afternoon Adventure Club (I.S.A.A.C.) is born. You'll be swept right along with Melendys to art museums, circuses, tea parties and more. Pamela Dillman's excellent narration, complete with some fantastic accents, really brings the Melendys' world to life.
The series continues with The Four-Story Mistake, Then There Were Five and Spiderweb For Two: A Melendy Maze.
Professional cellist Edward Kelsey Moore, whose short story "Grandma and the Elusive Fifth Crucifix" was selected as an audience favorite on NPR's Stories on Stage series just published his first novel. He lives in Chicago (website).
I sincerely hope you are not expecting The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat * being Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, and Diana Ross, - the sensation from Detroit's Brewster-Douglass public housing project that helped put Motown Records on the map in the 1960s. But seriously, you won't be too disappointed once you've met Odette, Clarice, and Barbara Jean.
Dubbed "The Supremes" since their high school days, these Plainsview (IN) mavens have weathered life's storms together arm-in-arm. Dutiful, proud, and talented Clarice must struggle to keep up appearances as she deals with her husband's infidelities. Beautiful, fragile Barbara Jean must try to live with a youthful mistake that continues to haunt her. Fearless Odette engages in the most terrifying battle of her life while entertaining visitations from her (dead) pot-smoking mother and an inebriated Eleanor Roosevelt. For four decades, what sustain these strong, funny women through marriages, children, happiness, and disappointments, is their Sunday table at Earl's Diner, the first black-own business in this racially divided town, where they can count on good food, gossip, occasional tears, uproarious banter and each other.
"With wit and love, style and sublime talent, Edward Kelsey Moore brings together four intertwined love stories, three devoted allies, and two sprightly earthbound spirits in a big-hearted debut novel that embraces the lives of people you will never forget."
Poised to give Waiting to Exhale, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and Steel Magnolias a run for their money. Readers might also enjoy works by Pearl Cleage, and April Sinclair, or other novels on women's friendship.

Watch: Robyn Covers Björk's "Hyperballad"
By Ryan Dombal on August 30, 2010 at 3:10 p.m. EDT
Robyn photo by Sanchez and Kitahara; Björk photo by Bernhard Kristinn/ILC
Created by ABBA publisher, lyricist and manager Stig "Stikkan" Anderson in 1989, the Polar Music Prize annually awards 1 million kronor ($136,000) to "individuals, groups and institutions in recognition of exceptional achievements," according to the prize's website.
This year's recipients were Italian composer Ennio Morricone and Björk, and, as part of today's award ceremony in Stockholm, Robyn covered the Icelandic singer's 1996 single "Hyperballad" backed by a full orchestra. Meanwhile Björk sat a few feet away with a, um, stoic expression on her face. Watch it below:
Watch: New Björk Video From Animated Children's Film
By Ryan Dombal on August 23, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. EDT
Photo by Bernhard Kristinn/ILC
As previously reported, Björk made a song for the animated Finnish children's film Moomins and the Comet Chase. You can watch the video for "The Comet Song" here. In the song, Björk sings about a comet that seemingly might obliterate the Moomin world as we know it-- kinda dark! The song is out on iTunes tomorrow, August 24, with all proceeds from its sale going to UNICEF Pakistan childrens' charities.
Moomins and the Comet Chase is out now... in Finland, at least.
Antony Duets With Björk on New Album, Reworks Oneohtrix Point Never

Front page photo by Don Felix Cervantes
Swanlights, the new album from Antony and the Johnsons, is coming October 11 in Europe on Rough Trade and a day later in the U.S. from Secretly Canadian. (It's been pushed back a week from its originally announced release date.) Antony has now let loose with the album's tracklist. And oh snap, look at that: Fellow otherworldly wailer Björk shows up to duet with Antony on "Flétta". This won't be the first time Björk and Antony have hooked up; Antony previously duetted with Björk on her songs "The Dull Flame of Desire" and "My Juvenile".
Listen: Björk/Dirty Projectors Mount Wittenberg Orca Track "All We Are"

As we gave you a heads up about last week, Mount Wittenberg Orca, the collaborative mini-LP from Björk and Dirty Projectors that resulted from a NYC benefit show last May, comes out today.
You can purchase the record right here (all proceeds go to the National Geographic Society), and you can also stream its closing track, "All We Are", above, via Domino Records' Soundcloud. The track is very vocal-heavy, featuring a stirring duet between Björk and Dirty Projectors leader Dave Longstreth near its end.
Björk and Dirty Projectors to Release Collaboration Mount Wittenberg Orca
By Ryan Dombal on June 23, 2010 at 9:35 a.m. EDT

Last May, Björk and Dirty Projectors debuted a new collaborative suite called Mount Wittenberg Orca. It made its debut at a benefit for Housing Works in Manhattan, an event put together by former Pitchfork contributor and current Stereogum writer Brandon Stosuy. And that's about the last we heard about this fleeting meeting of the musical minds. Until now.

Ólöf Arnalds: "Surrender" [ft. Björk]
Ólöf Arnalds: Surrender
"Surrender" is a hushed acoustic song featured on Icelandic folk songstress Ólöf Arnalds' forthcoming sophomore album, Innundir Skinni (translation: Under the Skin). Oh yeah, Björk is on it, too. She provides some wails that can only be described as Björk-ish. You can't really miss 'em.
News in Brief: Björk, Black Swans, Moshi Moshi, Bamboozle
By Ryan Dombal on April 7, 2010 at 4:45 p.m. EDT
-- On May 2, Bjรถrk, Dirty Projectors' Dave Longstreth, Battles' Tyondai Braxton, New Yorker music critic Alex Ross, Stereogum senior writer (and former Pitchfork contributor) Brandon Stosuy, and others will DJ as part of the Rites of Spring Haiti benefit at Brooklyn DIY venue Above the Auto Parts Store, which is located above an actual auto parts store. The event is organized by Stosuy and should be fairly ridiculous. (Via Sound of the City.)
-- Ohio's Black Swans release their new album, Words Are Stupid, on April 27 via St. Ives/Secretly Canadian. Watch the video for new track "Language Tenor" here.
-- Florence and the Machine, the Drums, Signals, and Casiokids are among the bands included on the forthcoming Moshi Moshi Singles Club Volume 2 compilation, due out May 3.
-- This year's Bamboozle fest hits New Jersey's Meadowlands Sports Complex on May 1-2 and features Weezer, MGMT, Drake, Girl Talk, Matt and Kim, Wale, Paramore, and a bunch of emo bands I've never heard of.
Björk and Michel Gondry Working on "Scientific Musical"
By Ryan Dombal on March 16, 2010 at 4:00 p.m. EDT
Photo by Bernhard Kristinn/ILC
The combined forces of Bjรถrk and French director Michel Gondry have produced some of the greatest music videos ever made-- including personal favorite "Bachelorette"-- so any news of another collaboration is welcomed.
At this year's SXSW Film Festival, Gondry spoke to the Playlist about an upcoming project with Bjรถrk: "We have a very ambitious project, a sort of scientific musical. ... [It's a movie], but maybe more for museums. Like a 40 minute IMAX project in 3D," he said. Um, yes, please.
Things seem to be in the early stages, as Bjรถrk's publicist could not confirm the project at the moment.
In related news, Michel Gondry is not a Lady Gaga fan.

"i would like to thank you for all your inspiration / it was so important to me to get to work with you and your team / a real mashup of fertile minds / it was vital to my development / i'm grateful"
-- Bjรถrk writes a poem for British fashion designer Alexander McQueen, who died last week. McQueen designed the cover of Bjรถrk's album Homogenic (pictured) and directed the video for "Alarm Call". (via Bjรถrk's website)
Björk Writes New Song for Freaky Finnish Children's Movie
By Ryan Dombal on November 16, 2009 at 4:10 p.m. EST
Photo by Bernhard Kristinn/ILC
Moomins are vaguely hippopotamus-looking creatures invented by Finnish author/illustrator Tove Jansson. Bjรถrk likes Moomins. She likes them so much that she wrote a song about them.
"The Comet Song" was written by Bjรถrk with author and frequent collaborator Sjรณn ("Bachelorette", "Wanderlust") for the upcoming children's film Moomins and the Comet Chase, due out in August or September 2010. (Via Bjรถrk's site.)
To get an idea of what we're talking about here, check out a trailer for last year's Moomin and Midsummer Madness below:

Draw a panda bear's face onto a piece of poster board or card stock or photocopy a panda bear template for each student. Instruct each student to cut out the bear template and paste it onto thicker paper. Rip or cut square pieces of black and white tissue paper and roll them into small balls. Have the students glue black tissue paper balls on the ears and around the eyes of the bear and use some to make a nose. They can fill in the face with white tissue paper balls.
Paper Cutout Bear Craft Projects for Kindergarten
Combine a bear theme with practicing the art of scissor use in your kindergarten class. Paper cut-out bear projects can reinforce learning. There are many types of bears that can be the center of your craft projects, such as polar, koala, panda, black or brown bears. Use various types of paper products to allow for creativity.
Tissue Paper Bear
Paper Bear Mask
Students can create a bear mask by drawing the eyes, nose and mouth of a bear onto a paper plate and color them in a manner consistent with their choice of bear. You may help the students cut two eye holes and a hole for the mouth of the bear using scissors. Give the students tongue depressors or wooden craft sticks to glue to the bottom of the paper plate so they can hold the masks to their faces.
Bag Puppet
Instruct students to cut two brown semi-circle ears, one rounded triangle black nose, a crescent-shaped pink paper mouth and two black ovals for eyes from construction paper. Have them draw a circle on the bottom of a brown paper lunch bag for the bear's face. The children then paste the ears, nose, eyes and mouth in the appropriate places. Each kindergarten student draws and cuts out a bear body consisting of a large oval for the body and four short ovals for legs and pastes them on the side of the bag beneath the folded bottom. The students may use their projects in free dramatic play or to reenact "Goldilocks and the Three Bears."
Life-sized Paper Bear
Set a large piece of mural paper on the floor. Divide the class into pairs. One child in each pair will lie down on the paper and the other child will trace his outline and then be drawn in turn. You may assist in lieu of the children tracing one another. Allow the children to cut out colored construction paper pieces and glue them to their life-size outlines to transform the bodies into a bear of their choice. Ears, nose, eyes, a mouth, claws and a small tail may adorn each child's outline. Instruct the students to cut out their outlines. Hang them in the hallway or around the classroom.

We had a very busy October, with a whole lot of fun!
Not only did we have our Halloween Parade and Parties, but our classes got to visit 'Farmer Kacie' at the pumpkin patch and learn about how we can let God's light shine out of us, like a Jack-o-Lantern! Our Kindergarten class also went off campus to Tanaka Farms where they got to have a wagon ride and learn about where food is grown.
In addition, we had our Costume Party fundraiser event, and raised almost $400 towards our security gates! We are now $700 towards our $3200 goal.
We are tracking our fundraising progress online at http://www.gofundme.com/dxamrc and on-site on the school bulletin boards in the patio area.
If every family here brought in $30, we'd have enough money to start the project over Thanksgiving break….
For every $10 donated, we will enter your name in a thank you drawing for premium reserved seats at our Christmas program! We have 4 blocks of seats to give out! We will be drawing names Oct. 21.

Southern rapper Rick Ross recently discussed assembling his Maybach Music Group and why hip-hop stars like Diddy and Baby ultimately motivated him to create his own movement.
In addition to Bad Boy and Cash Money, Ross said Master P's No Limit Records also inspired him.
"Building Maybach Music Group, building this empire, of course I was inspired by some of the earlier movements and earlier dudes that came along such as Cash Money [and] Bad Boy Records. To me, when I really think about the greatest era of hip-hop, that was the greatest eras of hip-hop; when I turned on the TV and saw Big, Mase, Junior Mafia, and the Lox. That was the most exciting era of hip-hop. I looked at the No Limit era and saw that camaraderie that they had, that unity, that brotherhood that they shared. I think it spilled over from [their] music," Rick Ross says. (The Juice)
Recently signed Maybach Music Group artist Teedra Moses credited Ross' aim to build an empire as a driving force in her decision to link with "The Boss" last month.
"If they have wanted something else they wouldn't have came for me. This is not a situation like most labels. What Rick Ross is trying to do is build a real label not a rap group. He [Rick Ross] went out and got Wale. He's not trying to have Wale do something different. There's an audience that likes Wale. Stalley has an audience who likes him. Ross isn't asking us to change or do something that we don't already do. He's picking artist that people cling to and he works that." (Billboard)
A couple months ago, Ross explained how much of an impact he saw artists like Wale and Meek Mill could make to Maybach Music.
"[Signing Wale and Meek Mill], it just solidifies we're one of the fastest-growing labels in hip-hop…I mean, it is what it is," Ross said in response to the bidding war for his Maybach Music Group. "Right now we're on fire. We making, and it's not just a temporary thing, but we're making the best music, man. And we make all ranges of music. I think the industry's just understanding that. So it's not just about Rick Ross and Maybach Music, it's our brand, it's our movement, it's the type of sound that we done brought to the game — We getting paper, what else can I say?" (The Source)
Earlier this year, Ross signed his label to Warner Bros. Records.
Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group has found a place to park. After meeting with various labels, the Miami rapper has signed a deal to bring his roster of talent to Warner Bros. Records. "Its official!!!!!! @maybachmusicgrp has partnered with Warner Bros!!!!!!!!!!! s/o Lyor Cohen..Tod..Joey I.e..dallas..and my brother Gucci Pucci," tweeted the Bawse in the early hours of Saturday. "Deal of the CENTURY!!!!!!!!!!!!! #MMG #WB." While details have yet to be announced, the deal is expected to include distribution, marketing, and promotion for artistsRoss signs to his imprint. (Rap-Up)
Maybach Music Group's first compilation album, Self Made, is slated to drop Monday, May 23rd.

"This card was fabulous! I chose the grey version of it, and just plain black text inside and it came out just exactly where I wanted it, and just how I expected it to look. The paper and the printing were just fabulous...I haven't seen any of the cards that have a defect on them because of the printing or the paper."
"I made these cards to express my joy and gratitude for a special birthday gathering. The cards are easy to design and of great quality. Delivery was very fast also."
"I absolutely love these cards--my very favorite thank you cards to use. The high paper quality, contemporary design, and accent color (I chose orange), along with my name (only placed my first name after the words "thank you" on the card) make it special. I love the self-addressed envelopes that match it (I think it's such a nice touch to have personalized envelopes as well). I ordered both the cards and envelopes a second time, and will continue to order more as I run out. Great value!"
"This was a nice thank you card that matched my son's baptism invitation. It was a small card, but perfect to write a quick note and drop in the mail."
"Great card. Beautiful and colorful. I typed a thank you message to be pre-printed in each card, which worked great for my 6 year old. Awesome card."

ASIA/INDIA - Street children who live in train stations rescued by a Catholic priest
Lucknow (Agenzia Fides) - More than fifty poor children of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, and victims of drug abuse, have been rescued by an Indian priest who collects children in search of food and shelter in trains and railway stations. We are talking about Fr. Abhi who, along with Sister Manju , founded the organization Drug Abuse Resistance Education (Dare) . The young ones have changed their lives, they receive education and are happy with their respective families. According to information Fides Agency collected, Fr. Abhi said that hundreds of children live in railway stations in the city of Varanasi. "If one goes to these stations at dawn, - says the priest - you will meet many children collecting plastic which they sell for 40 rupees per kilo. Currently, there are a total of 26 children who live in the family home of Dare. In addition, other 53 children have already been sent back home". The priest explained that in India only 2% of the population is Christian and in some states of the country there is a law that prohibits the conversion to Christianity.

"He threw the ball OK, but he got a few pitches up in the strike zone. The wind blowing out didn't help him."
"Throw strikes down in the strike zone. A fastball up in the zone looks like a beach ball. The other thing I stress is location. If you can locate a pitch, you'll do fine."

November 27, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Military officials say nobody was injured when a drone crashed on a range outside of Creech Air Force Base northwest of Las Vegas.
Authorities say the crash happened about 3:45 p.m. Thursday, about five miles north of the base.
Officials say a board of Air Force personnel will investigate the crash.
Specifics on the incident weren't immediately available Friday morning.
The crash comes 11 months after MQ-9 Reaper aircraft went down in the desert north of Las Vegas. Investigators say crew members at Nellis Air Force Base didn't thoroughly check the craft before they sent it out on a training mission.
Nobody was hurt in the Dec. 5 incident, but it cost the government $9.6 million.

Its a chilly dreary day here, and I'm in a matching mood. The electrician has finished the indoor work, and I'm waiting to hear from Plaster Guy when he can start patching the holes---it may be as soon as tomorrow. There's a ton of cleaning to be done, much of it kind of pointless because PG will just make messes in the same spots. There's always plenty of stuff that I could do, and several things that I should do, but I don't feel like doing any of it. Maybe a strong cup of coffee will perk me up?
How is your week going?

Same feeling here, it's a dull, gray, cold & rainy day here. I'm trying to figure out our income tax. I used to know all of this stuff but DH has done it the last 4 or 5 yrs & it's frustrating me now. Wish he would agree to just giving it to an expert to handle as my brain isn't used to this much thinking!
We will head to the curling club for cards tonight & so I hope to perk up before then or it will be a long 3 hrs. Maybe I will grab a latte to wake me up. Dee

The weather is pretty nice although quite a bit colder than normal for this time of year. My co-worker has lived here over 30 years and does not remember it ever being this cold in late April.
We are hitting the time of year when work is starting to pick up, not overwhelming busy but a full busy day.
Stephanie has another chemo treatments tomorrow.

Weather is nice here in NYC. Ready for my news? 1) dh (math teacher) wanted ME to come up with some fresh new ideas that he can use to teach. His students are low income & mostly minority & many don't have the resources to connect with the outside world. Yet they still have to pass the New York State Regents. So dh is saying how can I relate real world problems that use coordinates, axis, angles, graphing, you got it. I'm telling him, I haven't used this since 10th gr. in high school. So he's telling me to sit down, starts explaining the stuff to me & I'm looking at him like whoa! this is over my head! You're expecting ME to understand this after 42 YEARS!!! Then I understood his dilemma - his students are thinking the same thing. "Why do I have to learn this stuff" "I'm never going to use it", I don't want to kjnow it" BUT they still have to pass the New York State exam or else fail the course. So I drew a blank because I couldn't come up with anywhere that you actually need this. Shows you how good I was in geometry - not. I was better in History.
Next - Had my car inspected today. It passed BUT the horrible news is I need a front engine pipe = $1,275.+ tax. YIKES! I'm unemployed & certainly don't have the money. We have 2 cars & I was willing to sell mine & take dh to work every day + pick him up. He disagreed & said to put it on the credit card & he will pay for it. My car is 9 yrs. old & has 70,000 miles. When it rains, it pours. Can't wait for dh to retire from teaching so we can sell both cars & get 1 NEW car - my new car will be the Toyota Prius or any hybrid car.
Well, that's it for my mid week blahs

Fifteen buses, 9 high schools and 844 students later, we can say, based on student and teacher responses and thank you notes, that the MCEDC effort to bring our McHenry County high school students to the Illinois Technology Manufacturing Show in Chicago was a success.
Our goal was to create an understanding of the importance of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education and to create an appetite for manufacturing careers. Many wrote that they now how an interest in manufacturing, commented on the high tech machines and the variety of products created.
To set the stage for the day, MCEDC created a video which was shown on the buses as they traveled to Chicago. The video, is on our website (click here) featured Doug Oberhelman, CEO of Caterpillar, and showcased some of our manufacturers.
Thanks to our partners for supporting this effort financially - Scot Forge, Sage Products & Wells Manufacturing. We appreciate the access provided to us by our video partners - Astro Craft, Inc., Chirch Global Manufacturing, LLC, Chroma Corporation, Corporate Disk Company, Knaack Manufacturing, PEP Wauconda Tool, Sage Products, Scot Forge, and WM Plastics, Inc. We also want to thank JA Frate & Scot Forge for mentoring students on the buses.
The Algonquin Western Bypass Groundbreaking took place on September 17th, 2012 with over 100 leaders in attendance.
This was the founding project of the MCEDC 21 years ago. It took perseverance, collaboration, cooperation and the efforts of many, many people to bring it to fruition.
Gary Overbay, MCEDC Chairman of the Board, welcomed everyone and provided history of the project. Senator Dick Durbin, Congressman Don Manzullo, Senator Pam Althoff, Village of Algonquin President John Schmitt, County Board Chairman Ken Koehler and IDOT Secretary Ann Schneider spoke at the event. The late Bill Dwyer, MCEDC Transportation Committee member and leader of the McHenry County Road Warriors was remembered and recognized for his leadership. His widow, Joyce Dwyer was introduced and participated in the groundbreaking. To see a video of the event, please click here.
Another infrastructure project which MCEDC has been spearheading relates to broadband and connectivity. The Illinois Century Network received a $96 million grant under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to bring high speed fiber to Illinois' Community Colleges. The original route submitted for McHenry County College proved to not be viable. In January 2012, the ICN group met with representatives from MCEDC, McHenry County government, municipalities, and MCC to discuss alternative routes. During the next few months, there were many additional meetings, emails, conference calls and efforts to ensure that the route to MCC would be included in the project.
On Tuesday, September 11, we received a call confirming that an amended route has been approved and the project will move into the construction division to schedule construction of the route. This is great news for MCC and McHenry County. On September 27th, the Broadband Group will meet again to discuss additional opportunities this fiber route presents for increased speed, redundancy, disaster recovery operations, etc.
The ICN representatives are extremely pleased that McHenry County is thinking about additional function, benefits and opportunities this project will present, which was the basis for this grant from the beginning. Success again because of cooperation, collaboration and consistency of direction.

Taken every five years, the Economic Census "assures the accuracy of the statistics we rely on for sound economic policy and for successful business planning," said Bernanke.
