Braintrust presents: Biodiesel
Presented by Together Festival at Wonder Bar
April 4, 2012
Local artist collective Braintrust frequently works within the Live Electronica genre, the unholy combination of man and machine that produced acts like Wobblesauce and Blue Boy Productions. This time their infernal experiment draws in Biodiesel, a pair of veritable mad professors the likes of Aleister Crowley. Individually they're masters of their analog instuments, both having written textbooks, taught and innovated for drums and bass guitar respectively. Together, however, they produce live electronic dance music that blows the doors off of whatever venue they play.

Walls are usually the first place we think of when hanging new decorations. That's where picture frames, murals and decorative lettering seem to belong, and many other decorations are also designed for wall-hanging. But walls aren't the only large area of the room you can decorate. Ceiling decorations can take the form of patterns, textures and colors that complement the rest to the room, or you can jazz-up a plain white ceiling by adding colorful decorations. This works particularly well in a child's bedroom or playroom, where the bright colors and cute decorations won't seem out of place.
Hanging mobiles are perhaps the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of ceiling decorations for a child's room. They are typically hung above a baby's crib, and work very well in a nursery. They are also useful for adding interest to the corners of rooms or hanging from high ceilings. Just make sure they're out of the way so adults walking through the room don't run into them.
Bugs-n-Blooms' mobiles feature butterflies, flowers, dragonflies, ladybugs and bees, and come in a total of 22 different styles, many with several color variations. All mobiles have 5 small decorations hanging from them, and measure 11 inches wide by 24 inches long. Available colors include pink, purple, green, blue and yellow.
Hanging Decorations
All of Bugs-n-Blooms' 3-D hanging decorations can be used on the ceiling. The largest ones – like the x-large 18-inch butterflies and dragonflies, and the 16-inch flowers – work best on high ceilings or in large rooms. Smaller decorations, which range in size from 1 inch to 13 inches, look lovely arranged across most ceilings.
There are several ways to use hanging decorations on the ceilings. You can have a group of butterflies and dragonflies flitting across the top of the room, or ladybugs crawling around the fixture of a ceiling light. If you want a more elaborate ceiling decoration, you can paint a vine across the ceiling and hang flower decorations so they look like they are growing from the branches. Bumblebees match well with this design, since they will look like they are visiting the flowers.
Vinyl Decals
Bugs-n-Blooms' vinyl decals are designed to adhere to walls, but they can also be used on certain ceilings. In order for the decal to stick to the ceiling, the surface must be smooth and clean. Textured ceilings will not work with decals. The best surfaces are smooth with flat, egg-shell or satin-finish paints, or sanded wood without lacquer. Clean the ceiling with plain, warm water using a damp sponge, and let it dry for 2 to 4 hours before hanging the decals.
Probably the best stickers for a ceiling are the insect, flower and cloud decals. These make it look like clouds are drifting across the sky, especially if the ceiling is painted blue, or like the little butterflies, ladybugs, dragonflies and bumblebees are flying or crawling around on the ceiling. They work well when paired with 3-D decorations, to add more variety to the ceiling décor.

After scolding Platt for misunderstanding Matsugen, Jean-Georges Vongerichten now says hes disappointed with Frank Brunis one-star review of Spice Market, in which he called Vongo equal parts proud artist and profit-hungry entrepreneur. (Guess JGV didnt get Cuozzos memo about griping about reviews.) While admitting that he has to fix certain instances of sloppiness, Jean-Georges insists the restaurant is a deeply personal project: The food at Spice Market is excellent and I intend to keep making it better and better. Besides, I can personally attest to the fact that theres no better place to eat well and have a great time. After all, its where Marja and I got married! Problem is, they got married four years ago, which is exactly when Bruni remembers Spice Market being worthwhile. And sure, he spent a lot of time cooking in Asia before the restaurant launched, but what has he done for it lately?

Malicious: NH's anti-child House
Last year the Republican-led Legislature passed - over Gov. John Lynch's veto - a law that lets businesses take a tax credit for 85 percent of the value of donations they make to an educational scholarship program for lower-income students. Families who have incomes of no more than 300 percent of the federal poverty level may use the scholarships to help finance the cost of a private-school education.
Democrats strongly opposed the law last year. With their big House majority this year, they made killing it a priority. The House voted 188-151 Wednesday, largely along party lines, to repeal it.
For the children who would receive these scholarships, the law is an unmitigated good. They get to attend a school that works for them. What about the children who remain in public schools?
Democrats claimed that these children would be harmed by a loss of funding. Nonsense. For each child who takes a scholarship, the state loses 85 percent of $2,500, or $2,124. But the state pays public schools about $4,700 per child. For each kid who takes a scholarship, the state comes out about $2,575 ahead.
What about local schools? The law caps the amount any public school could lose at 1 percent of the school's budget.
This law does not harm any children. It helps the most vulnerable ones by giving them tickets out of failing schools. It helps those left in the failing schools by giving administrators and teachers stronger incentives to improve student outcomes.
Those positive, pro-child results are exactly why Democrats voted to kill the law. Their goal is not to help kids, not to educate them, not to help them prosper. Their goal is to maintain complete control over them by forcing as many as possible to remain in government schools, regardless of whether those schools function well or not at all. This vote was plainly and transparently anti-child. May the Senate have the wisdom to maintain hope for these children by killing this vile bill.

Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry

Department of Nutrition
Dr. Wessling-Resnick's current research effort focuses on genetic disorders of iron metabolism at the molecular level and their implications in complex disease. She has an on-going program to establish new pharmacological tools through small molecule screening in order to identify molecular elements of iron transport. These efforts led to discovery of ferristatin, an inhibitor of transferrin-mediated iron uptake that acts by degrading the transferrin receptor. Her studies also focus on the role of iron status (deficiency and overload) in the absorption of inhaled metals. These efforts have established the pharmacokinetics of pulmonary manganese and iron uptake from the lungs to the blood and defined the influence of high iron diet as well as the effects of iron deficiency due to diet and phlebotomy. A major finding has been that anemia promotes manganese absorption across the olfactory tract into the brain, and using genetic models, her work has defined the mechanistic role of Divalent Metal Transporter-1. Her on-going investigations are support by two R01 grants from NIDDK and NIEHS.

This school year there's a shortage of the meningitis vaccine on college campuses nationwide and a local man helped make a key decision that's bumped up the demand for these shots.
Meningitis spreads pretty easily and if you're infected, death isn't out of the question. The Director of UVa's Elson Student Health Center sat on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Committee that recommended a new vaccine, and now all incoming Middle School, High School, and College students need it, which is causing a high demand.
There are 31 states that now require college students to get the shot before they step on campus and only one company produces the new vaccine called Menactra.
"They are producing 400,000 doses ever month and even at that production rate there are still some spot shortages," said James C. Turner, M.D. Director of UVa Elson Health Center. "So the demand is roughly 10 or 15 percent higher than what the supply is."
What makes it so special is that it lasts at least eight years--double the life of the old one. UVa students didn't have a problem getting the shot, but local middle and high school students may have.
"The University Hospital ran out of vaccine. We gave them back about 60 or 70 doses a few weeks ago to try to help them out," Turner said.
If you can't get the new version doctors recommend getting the old one or waiting.
"They should be able to get the vaccine in two or three weeks and that's fine. That's certainly a fine option," said Turner.
There are several things students can do to help prevent the disease.
"Avoiding heavy alcohol use, avoiding tobacco use, taking care of yourself, getting treatment for respiratory infections, getting a flu shot and getting a meningitis shot," said Turner.
Meningitis is spread through saliva and respiratory and nasal secretions such as coughing and sneezing.
Five UVa students had very serious cases of meningitis in the mid 90s--but all survived. The most recent case was in 1996 and the University started vaccinating the next year.
Meningitis is rare, but when it strikes it can be fatal.

My daughter began CCA in Sept. 2006, and I was pleased the moment I walked through the door. The teachers are not only dedicated to preparing the students for academic excellence but also to be better people. My daughter graduated this past June, and is now on her way to Drexel University!! I am truly thankful for CCA, their love, support and encouragement, not only for my daughter but for my family as a whole.
my daughter started attending CCA in September of 2009. i have called during this time about 100 times regarding my daugter road to maturity . the staff has always addressed my concerns My latest call was regarding useage of computers . my desire was to accsss info regarding my child daily progress and behavior CCA uses this as a tool for parents and students . on his day i called 8 times. finally i got it right. this is the same method CCA uses to education my child, if she doesn't get it right the first tme countless hours, days, weeks or months are put into her CCA understand that parent/student relationship is key. African Proverb; it takes a village to raise a child thank you i look forward to talking to you via phone or e-mail HAHA
This school did nothing for my child. My student has failed college and cannot go back due to his poor grades. He was nowhere near prepared for college.
You have to be kidding. The administration is horrible and uncooperative. I'm beginning to wonder if these reviews are written by the staff themselves.
This school is one of the best kept secrets in Philadelphia. I discovered this school by accident about five years ago while walking. I was behind a group of young students very neatly dressed in uniforms. These students were so ladylike and gentlemanlike I had to ask them what school they attended and they politely replied City Center Academy (CCA). Five years later I attended the Open House with my daughter. I can see why those students left a five year impression on me!! At the open house two student ambassadors gave us a tour and great insight about The CCA Experience. The school focuses on academics and there is a lot of work. The teachers prepare the students for success. I must say that my daughter enjoys school. If you re in the city you will notice a CCA student because they represent themselves and the school with dignity.
City Center Academy (CCA) is a wonderful Christian family of students, faculty and staff. The academic environment of excellent education professionals and the foundation of Christianity makes CCA a perfect fit for my child. I am the parent of a sophomore at City Center Academy (CCA). This is her second year at CCA and she is doing phenomenally well academically. What I cherish most is the growth and maturity I have seen in her Christian life.
I elected City Center Academy because of the small class sizes and as an alternative to the public school system. The administration was a disaster from the beginning of admission. The teaching staff does not work with the parents, they don't contact you with concerns. Thumbs down for CCA.
Most School are not without their problems but CCA is a good school for college prep. It does prepare your children for higher education. The school is also very open for compromise and input from the students and parents if certian things are of an concern. However, parent involvement is low.

One of Tokyo's most popular landmarks, the Nakagin Capsule Tower built in 1972 by Kisho Kurokawa is under threat of demolition. Pressure is coming from the residents who are complaining that the units are difficult to maintain. Dr Kurokawa's visionary design captured the imagination of the public by providing a compact (4 x 2.5m) solution to the city's spiralling property costs and a glimpse of the future. However, a key element of his concept had been the planned replacement of the modules with updated units but this has not happened.
There appear to be three main options. Please let us know your view by taking part in our global survey.

In a society where abortion is illegal, parents can unwind their children by donating their body parts to those in need. Challenging assumptions about life and death, this breakneck thriller invites readers to wrestle with important questions.
From A History of Hamilton County, Indiana
At Spottsylvania, Va., prior to the war of 1812, lived a wealthy and influential citizen, George BOXLEY. He was a man of strong character, and, when he believed himself to be right, he was immovable. By honest toil, he had acquired his wealth, and, at the time of which we write, was the proprietor of a saw-mill, grist-mill and "carding-gin" or woolen-mill, all three being operated under one roof, in a building situated on the bank of one of the streams of Spottsylvania County. Like many persons of means in those days, he possessed a number of slaves, but became impressed with the injustice of the institution and liberated them.
Virginia Gazette
(Parks), Williamsburg,
From August 7 to August 14, 1746.
RAN away from the Subscribers on the 31st of July last, Three Servants, viz. Daniel M'Craw, a Scots-Highlander, of a short Stature, speaks broken English, about 5 Feet 2 Inches high, of a swarthy Complexion, with short curl'd Hair: Had on when he went away, a coarse Bear-skin Coat, with Brass Buttons, a Pair of brown Linen Trowsers and Shirt. He belonged to Mr. Charles Dick, in Fredericksburg. John Ross, a Scots-Highland Boy, about 16 Years of age, of a ruddy Complexion, full-fac'd, speaks broken English, and has his Hair cut: He carried with him an Oznabrig Shirt, a Pair of Oznabrig Trowsers and Breeches, a Tartan Waistcoat without Sleeves, lin'd with green Shalloon, a brown Holland and a white Linen ditto, a Silk Handkerchief, a Felt Hat, and a Leather hunting Cap. He belonged to Mr. John Mitchell, in Fredericksburg. Thomas Haily, an Irishman, about 36 Years of Age, of a fair Complexion, about 5 Feet 8 Inches high; had on when he went away, a dark colour'd Broad-Coath Coat, double-breasted with Metal Buttons, a Pair of Trowsers, an Oznabrig Shirt, a white Linen ditto, and a fine Beaver Hat. He belonged to Doctor William Lynn, in Fredericksburg. Whoever apprehends the said Servants and brings them to their Masters aforesaid, shall receive a Pistole Reward for each, besides what the Law allows. Witness our Hands this 21st Day of July, 1746. Charles Dick. William Lynn. John Mitchell.

Contracting Out:
NASA Not Complying With OMB Circular A-76
NSIAD-86-15: Published: Nov 27, 1985. Publicly Released: Nov 27, 1985.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed contract administration at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Lewis Research Center.
GAO found that: (1) the Center contracted out functions for services without comparing the contract costs to in-house performance costs; and (2) NASA does not comply with the Office of Management and and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, which requires agencies to perform such cost comparisons. NASA officials stated that NASA does not plan to implement such policies because: (1) the quality and experience of NASA managers makes such cost comparisons unnecessary; (2) the preparation of a formal cost comparison is costly and disruptive to ongoing work; (3) the focus on cost would take emphasis away from achieving its primary missions; and (4) the research and development exclusion in the circular relieves NASA from having to perform cost comparisons for such activities. In addition to requiring cost comparisons, the circular provides that: (1) federal agencies periodically review their activities that provide products or services which could be obtained from commercial sources and annually report on their implementation progress; and (2) when personnel ceilings prevent the continuing of lower cost, in-house activities, the agencies should request additional spaces in their annual budget request. GAO found that NASA has neither performed the cost comparisons nor submitted the required annual reports. GAO believes that management decisions of the magnitude discussed should include systematic consideration of cost to ensure that the most cost-effective decisions are reached and, therefore, recommended that NASA implement the policy and procedures of the circular.
