Greenville Police reports that Calvin W. Utterback, 74, of Beechmont was headed north on Kentucky 189 in a maroon 2000 Ford Mustang while Melissa A. Hocker, 37, also of Beechmont was attempting to cross the highway headed to Dean Road in a black 2006 Chevy Impala.
Witnesses told GPD that Utterback ran the red traffic light and his vehicle struck the left side of Hocker's vehicle. While Utterback appeared confused, intoxication was not suspected, the report said.
Both were transported to Muhlenberg Community Hospital via Muhlenberg Medical Services ambulance.
The Greenville Fire Department and Muhlenberg County Sheriff's Office assisted at the scene. Officer Darren Harvey is in charge of the investigation.

Comments, questions and tips
Made this for dinner this evening and thoroughly enjoyed it, as did hubby who can be a fussy eater. I added a few chunky carrots with peeled potatoes in wedges as I didn't have new potatoes, the timing was perfect as everything was cooked to perfection. Will definitely do this one again, thanks for sharing :-)
I seasoned the potatoes with garlic, salt and pepper and added a chopped courgette at the same time as the asparagus which worked very well. I also squeezed 1/4 of a lemon when adding the salmon and cooked 1/4 lemon between the pieces of salmon which I squeezed over before serving. I was very generous with the balsamic and my other half also added a splash of soya sauce. It was yummy and excellent for a novice like me. Will be making again.
Easy, simple and delicious. Perfect for when your short of time but wanting something tasty and healthy. Even got a fussy twelve year old eating asparagus thanks to the balsamic vinegar which he loves. Like many other reviews, I added extra balsamic and halfed the tomatoes - will add extra asparagus next time as it now gets fought over in my house. Easily doubled or quadrupled for fuss free entertaining.
Absolutely gorgeous! I added some red onion at the asparagus stage and it was lovely and sweet at the end. I would double or treble this and do for a dinner party, just superb.
I added a sprinkle of salt as I think it needed it, and when I served it I added some horseradish on the side which added a lively kick.
Made a change from my usual ways of serving salmon, and very easy. I added an uncrushed clove of garlic and seasoning to the new potatoes. My son thought looked this looked like a restaurant cooked meal! Served with a side salad. Will make again, maybe using courgettes and peppers when asparagus is no longer in season
This is an insanely delicious recipe, now made for the second time. I used lots of ground black pepper and salt. For the oil I used one tablespoon of garlic-infused olived oil to roast the potatoes, and then a tablespoon of basil-infused oil to drizzle over the fish. Really good recipe, definitely a keeper!

2013 Lexus GS 450h does the electric slide
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Sep 14th, 2011 at 1:30PM
What might the 2013 Lexus GS 450h add to the additional performance goodness delivered in the 2012 Lexus GS 350? More power and more fuel efficiency, for starters. The second-gen hybrid system boots out 338 total horsepower for a 5.6-second sprint to 60 mph. That's 32 hp more than the GS 350 and a 0.1-second improvement on the stoplight run. Fuel economy gets an "expected" 30 percent improvement – the quotes meaning the sedan's fuel use hasn't been officially certified, but anything in that ballpark will be a tremendous gain. If it's a GS 350 with instant torque, that would be enough... Read More

White paper: The Path to Drupal
How "simple" and "extensible" equate to high levels of community involvement for open source
Flexibility and participation
Drupal is an open source web application that is known for its flexibility and for the large number of contributors who are involved in its development. Other details, like that it is written in PHP, requires a database, runs on a web server, and specializes in social publishing are interesting, but the first two points are the most important for this discussion. It is flexible, and lots of people are involved in writing Drupal code.
How flexible is Drupal? For being an actual web application and not a pure framework, it is very flexible. Drupal offers packaged solutions for the typical problems faced by web applications; authentication, sessions, permissions, form building and submission, email handling, and so forth. Yet it does so in a way that allows developers to replace or modify virtually every aspect and detail. The diversity of web sites that have been created using Drupal is the best testament to its flexibility. These sites range in nature from large media websites to activist sites, and software projects. No complete list exists, but you can browse an interesting selection at http://buytaert.net/tag/drupal-sites.

Hi all
I have enjoyed the thread with the many titles of the Buddha. Quite inspiring to read through them aloud. Could anyone supply a similar list for Mara? A friend at another group told me about these "5 Mara's that the Buddha defeated."
> (1) Maara of defilements (Kilesa Maara)
> (2) Maara of the aggregates (Khandha Maara)
> (3) Maara of kamma-formations (Abhisankhaara Maara)
> (4) Maara as deity (Devaputta Maara)
> (5) Maara as death (Maccu Maara)

In the Wild Recon DVD Set, youll join animal expert and adrenaline junkie Donald Schultz as he travels the world in search of rare species that may hold vital cures for deadly diseases.
Buy the Wild Recon DVD Set, and be poised for more than 7 hours of thrilling entertainment as you watch Donald Schultz get up close and personal with some of the worlds most dangerous animals.
1. Alien Invasion: Episode 1 of the animal DVDs Wild Recon follows animal adventurer Donald Schultz as goes 'Down Under' to Australia, home to some of the most venomous creatures on the planet. His mission is to find animals threatened with extinction by an unassuming toxic invader: the cane toad. He starts in the rugged bush, and when he finds his reptile targets, he takes venom and DNA samples from each one, in hopes of preserving these magnificent animals for future generations. Donald then journeys to the Southern Australia, where he tackles a thrashing emu that weighs as much as he does. His challenge is to avoid the flightless bird's razor-sharp talons long enough to get a blood sample for researchers. Finally, when night falls, he heads into the deadly waters off Queensland for his most dangerous mission of all: to grab rare, venomous sea snakes from a moving boat...by hand.
2. Rampage: Adrenaline junkie and animal adventurer Donald Schultz literally descends upon the Southeast Asian country of Sri Lanka in the aftermath of a brutal civil war he becomes the only civilian to skydive into the nation in two decades. Production of antivenin has taken a back seat in this war-torn country, and, as a result, more than 1,200 of its people are dying each year from snakebites. Donald's mission is a dangerous but lifesaving one: capture three of Sri Lanka's deadliest snakes the spectacled cobra, the krait and the Russells viper and milk their venom so researchers can create antivenin. Donald then treks into the lowland forest in search of one of his favorite animals, a slender loris; a tiny primate with a bizarre toxic defense. Before his Sri Lanka mission is complete, Donald joins forces with dozens of men to find and relocate a rampaging rogue elephant that's terrorizing local villagers.
3. Bounty Hunter: This episode of the Wildlife DVDs Wild Recon follows animal adventurer Donald Schultz on a mission to the exotic nation of Belize, nestled between Mexico and Guatemala on the Caribbean coast of Central America. He sets out on a dramatic search for deadly animals that are the targets of poachers, like crocodiles, sharks and rays. His goal is to collect blood and tissue samples needed for research before these endangered animals disappear. He heads into the dense rain forest canopy to track down the loudest animal in the world the howler monkey a critically endangered primate that's falling prey to poachers. While there, Donald stumbles on his least favorite creature a tarantula spider that's nearly as big as his hand. In an unusual "milking" procedure, Donald anesthetizes the spider, then uses a tiny electric shock to draw its rare and understudied venom.
4. Border War: Animal adventurer Donald Schultz returns to his home country of South Africa for a new mission and to take stock on what his country has done to pave the way for aggressive conservation efforts. There, he is tasked with tracking down and extracting blood samples from a regal cheetah and two massive rhinos, and hand-capturing the fastest-striking snake in Africa, the gaboon viper. Along the way, he sees the effects of human intrusion on animal habitats and the potential for disastrous encounters.
5. Bitten: Episode 5 of the nature DVDs Wild Recon shows animal adventurer Donald Schultz on a mission in Australia to collect samples from some of the most venomous creatures on Earth, including the deadly taipan and stonefish. His mission is jeopardized when he gets too close to one snake and is bitten, far from any medical help.
6. Desert Venom: Animal adventurer Donald Schultz is one of the world's toughest environments, the deserts of Jordan. His mission in the unforgiving terrain is to track down and collect samples from animals that have adapted to life in this harsh landscape deadly snakes, venomous lizards, camel spiders and hyenas. The samples Donald collects may hold secrets that could one day benefit people.
7. Lost Worlds: In this Wild Recon DVD Set episode, adrenaline junkie Donald Schultz travels through Mozambique, South Africa and Tanzania. His Mission: track down and collect biological samples from East Africa's biggest animals, including an elephant, a bull shark and a flying fox bat, then explore Pemba, a remote Tanzanian island with a history of black magic and forests that have never been scientifically chartered.
8. Hidden Curse: Adventurer Donald Schultz travels to ground zero for biodiversity the rainforests of Costa Rica. His Mission: find and extract toxin, blood and venom samples that may hold keys to human pharmaceutical breakthroughs from a range of animals, including poison dart frogs, a three-toed sloth and a newly discovered species of sea snake.
9. Moving Target: This episode of the animal DVDs Wild Recon accompanies animal adventurer Donald Schultz as he travels to the mountainous kingdom of Swaziland in search of a snake that has eluded him all his life, the berg adder. As he crisscrosses the country in search of this biological holy grail, Donald will come face to face with a deadly black mamba, tackle a giraffe and examine a lion for a disease that threatens to wipe out the local population anthrax.
10. Ocean Killers: With shark populations plummeting across the globe, scientists are in a race against time to save these fearsome predators from extinction. Animal adventurer Donald Schultz travels to the Bahamas, Florida and California to obtain tissues samples from highly endangered hammerhead populations, elusive reef sharks and a menacing bull shark.

Visit the iconic places of your musical heroes
Mod, Glam Rock, Punk, Britpop; whatever the scene, London's at the forefront of every musical movement. The Stones, Pink Floyd, Bowie, Queen, The Who, The Sex Pistols, and The Police all made their mark here before conquering the world.
Abbey Road
London's most famous rock 'n' roll landmark. In August 1969 The Beatles stepped outside the Abbey Road studios in St John's Wood for a 10-minute photoshoot and created one of music's most iconic images which Beatles fans have tried to recreate ever since by walking across the famous zebra crossing.
Heddon Street
The cover of David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars album was shot here in 1972. Bowie - as Ziggy - was captured outside number 23.
Don't miss nearby Carnaby Street: epicentre of 1960s fashion and centre of Swinging London that inspired The Kinks' Dedicated Follower of Fashion, and later The Jam song Carnaby Street. It's undergone a facelift to make it a new fashion centre for the 2000s.
430 Kings Road
Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood renamed their shop 'Sex' in the mid-70s and it became the cradle of British punk, pioneering the punk look. The Sex Pistols were formed largely as a vehicle to promote the shop.
23 Brook Street
A blue plaque marks the 1960s residence of guitar legend Jimi Hendrix.
Where reggae legend Bob Marley has been honoured with a blue plaque. The house was the reggae star's first London address in 1972.
Berwick Street
Oasis chose this central London street for the cover of their classic Britpop album (What's the Story) Morning Glory.
Waterloo Bridge
"Dirty old river, must you keep rolling" - Ray Davies paid homage to the Thames and London in the classic Kinks' track, Waterloo Sunset.
The Savoy Hotel
The famous video for Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues was filmed in the street at the back of the hotel after he and Donovan had sat up all night writing the caption boards!
Denmark Street (Tin Pan Alley)
Area famous for its music shops and studios where The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and The Kinks recorded in basements in the 1960s. The Sex Pistols lived at 6 Denmark Street in the mid-1970s, creating punk anthems like Anarchy in the UK and God Save the Queen.
Formerly known as The Monarch, this Camden music venue is a great place to see up-and-coming bands.
Formerly the Music Machine and then Camden Palace, this was an early venue for The Police, Siouxie and the Banshees and it has more recently hosted acts like Coldplay, Madonna and Babyshambles.
Carling Hammersmith Apollo
Formerly the Hammersmith Odeon, this large but somehow still intimate venue still hosts major entertainments. David Bowie famously killed off his alter ego Ziggy Stardust here at the end of his UK tour in 1973.
O2 Brixton Academy
Anyone who is anyone in the rock scene is likely to have played here under its beautiful, black velvet starry ceiling.
Wembley Stadium
Newly reconstructed Wembley Stadium netted the big cats and was the venue for the world's biggest bands. Its finest musical hour came in July 1985 when it hosted the Live Aid concert.

Alek Erwin and Jenna Parlette
Women's 5K Results
Men's 8K Results
CEDARVILLE – The Wilmington College cross country teams traveled to Cedarville Saturday and earned the top Division III finish in the meet.
"I saw a lot of improvement from both the men's and women's team from Franklin two weeks ago," said head coach Ron Combs. "It's exciting to see how much growth we've made in two weeks. We will be back on this course in two weeks for the All-Ohio. It was be nice to see that same type of improvement in two weeks."
Sophomore Jenna Parlette (Miamisburg, OH/Miamisburg) finished fourth of 128 runners to lead a women's team that is still without NCAA qualifier Annie Cekada. Parlette completed the 5K course in 18:41.33.
"Jenna ran a great race," said Combs. "She has really stepped out for us with Annie out."
The Fightin' Quakers had four of the top five Division III finishers as they finished five overall of 12 teams in the race.
Sophomore Tricia Steffen (Baltimore, OH/Liberty Union) was the second WC runner to cross the finish line, placing 12th in 19:22.51. Wilmington's scoring was rounded out by senior Brittany Gibbons (Pleasant Plain, OH/Blanchester) 27th in 20:02.49; senior Karlee Michel (Alexandria, OH/Johnstown Monroe) 39th 20:28.26 and freshman Mary Ann Krebs (Kettering, OH/Alter) 62nd in 21:09.44.
In the men's 8K race, WC had the top two Division III finishers as junior Alek Erwin (South Vienna, OH/Northeastern) and junior Myles Corcoran (Clarksville, OH/Clinton-Massie) finished 16th and 17th, respectively. Erwin completed the course in 26:11.69, while Corcoran come in at 26:13.59.
"We had a lot of guys run their personal bests today," said Combs. "It's the best race we've run in a while on the men's side."
Wilmington finished fifth of nine teams, just ahead of Ohio Athletic Conference foe Muskingum.
Sophomore Rob King (Washington Court House, OH/Miami Trace) was the third Quaker to finish, placing 29th in 26:45.31. The Wilmington scoring was rounded out by senior Chad Hirschauer (Cincinnati, OH/Milford) 46th in 27:18.85. and sophomore Jacob Boehm (Blanchester, OH/McNicholas) 55th in 27:39.64.

- Based on the work of Professor Tudor Parfitt of London's School of Oriental and African Studies.
- Secrets revealed on camera have never been witnessed by the public.
Mystery, intrigue and globe-trotting adventure. It's like your favorite movie, but it's real!
The existence and location of the Ark of the Covenant has remained one of the most enduring mysteries in archaeology. Professor Tudor Parfitt from London's School of Oriental and African Studies will reveal where he believes the Ark is.
Parfitt is well-known for discovering that the Lemba tribe in Zimbabwe is one of the lost tribes of Israel. In this thrilling adventure, follow this global detective as he decodes ancient texts and pieces together clues. Ultimately Parfitt builds a picture of what he thinks the Ark looks like and where it is.
The QUEST FOR THE LOST ARK takes you through Israelite wars, Philistine shrines, Solomon's Temple and Africa to the final, critical clue which leads Parfitt to its current location. Join him if you dare!

The design of public restrooms usually pays great attention to hand washing, providing facilities like wash basin - sometimes with touch free taps - soap dispenser, hand drier or paper towels... All quite expensive or maintenance heavy equipment.
But when leaving the restroom, in too many cases the design of the facility requires you to open the door inwards usually by pulling a handle.
The problem is obvious, whoever didn't wash his hands after using the toilette has touched that same handle passing germs and contamination onto it. In many cases the construction of the doors really requires you to grab the handle, unlike on the way in where you can simply push the door with a shoulder or feet.
Is there a reason for such design or is it just pure madness?
UPDATE 1: Please note that the door in my picture is transparent allowing you to see who is on the other side. It leads to a short dedicated corridor, not an open public space. Both attributes greatly reduce the chance of knocking a passerby on either side of the door.
UPDATE 2: I am starting a bounty on this question to get more quality answers. So far all of the highly rated answers are based on assumptions and personal experience not referencing sources or data.

Go beyond the "dirt to shirt" tale of textiles to see the myriad places cotton turns up in this illuminating hour.
- The complete story of cotton, from ancient India to today's technologies.
- For over a decade, MODERN MARVELS has brought grand stories to life.
- The ultimate celebration and investigation of engineering excellence.
Celebrating ingenuity, invention and imagination brought to life on a grand scale, MODERN MARVELS® tells the fascinating stories of the doers, dreamers and sometime-schemers who created everyday items, technological breakthroughs and man-made wonders.
For a fuzzy white fiber, cotton has played a starring role in history. It has created empires, launched at least one civil war, jumpstarted the Industrial Revolution and become the world's most ubiquitous fabric. Follow cotton's progress "from dirt to shirt", as they say in the textiles trade, and the lesser-known journey it makes into thousands of products, including gunpowder, cattle feed, plastics, photographic film, lipstick, and ice cream. Trace cotton's ancient origins and examine the many innovations in which cotton had a hand, like the cotton gin, which separated cotton from seed and also fueled both oppression and progress in America and England. And don't forget that evil critter, the boll weevil!

Greenville Resident Arrested for Tax Evasion
Columbia, SC (September 20, 2013) --- Gregory Simpson was arrested Friday by SC Department of Revenue officials on state tax evasion charges.
The Greenville resident was charged at the Spartanburg County Detention Center on three counts of tax evasion. Simpson could face up to 15 years in prison and/or up to $30,000 in fines if convicted.
For 2009 through 2011, Simpson, 46, failed to file required income tax returns. Simpson also filed W4 forms with his employer claiming to be exempt from income taxes.
Minimum income taxes were withheld from his paychecks, and therefore Simpson has an outstanding South Carolina tax liability of $13,430.

WASHINGTON - The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority's board on Wednesday voted to high tolls on the Dulles Toll Road in 2013 and 2014.
The cost will go up, starting Jan. 1.
The tolls will go from the current $2.25 toll to $2.75 next year and to $3.50 in 2014.
The board deferred a final decision on higher tolls in 2015. It had been recommended that the tolls go to $4.50 in 2015.
The additional funds will help pay for the construction of Metro's Silver Line.
The tolls are increasing by 25 cents at the main toll plaza and 25 cents on the entrance or exit ramps of the road that runs from the Capital Beltway to Dulles International Airport.
Tolls from the Dulles Toll Road are expected to make up approximately 75 percent of the cost of extending the Silver Line from Wiehle Avenue to Dulles International Airport and into Loudoun County.

"In this Feed the Future video, narrator Matt Damon discusses the importance of increasing food production around the world and notes the importance of equipping women with the right tools, training, and technology to see as much as a 30 percent increase in food production. To feed our growing population we need to increase food production by 70 percent before 2050. Women make up the majority of the agricultural workforce in many areas of the world."
A colleague mine thought that the ideas in this video were so obvious and non-controversial, he said, "Why does this even need to be stated? Why would we exclude women from agriculture?" The simple answer is that it wouldn't need to be stated if women around the world did have equal access to resources. For many of the world's poor, this is where the rubber meets the road.

"Revolution and rotation are the terms we use to describe the motions of the earth and moon. Revolution is the movement of the earth in an orbit around the sun. The Earth completes one revolution around the sun every 365 days. The moon revolves around the Earth about once every month."
Understanding the relationships between the Sun, Earth and moon are critical for for understanding the seasons, climate and other geographic factors. This interactive simulates gravity unlike anything I've every seen on a computer screen.
To exploring Earth-Sun interactions, playing around with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Sun Simulator is a fun way to make a little more sense of the various factors that control how the Sun appears in the sky.

"Sometimes, rehabilitating a rough neighborhood is a tough process. But in one West Coast American city, it was as simple as adding a Buddha statue. Since the statue's installation, a street corner has been transformed from a notorious eyesore to a daily prayer spot for local Vietnamese Buddhists. For this Geo Quiz, we're looking for the city where this shrine is located — can you name it?"
This podcast is a great glimpse into an urban transformation that took place without any central planning nor can the changes be classified as gentrification.

Without ever setting sail, Marie Tharp mapped the ocean floor and made a discovery that shook the foundations of geology. So why did the giants of her field dismiss her findings as "girl talk"?
I love this article, because it is a fantastic reminder of some excellent principles.

Not EdTech but great story. Embarrased I had never heard of Marie Tharp until now.
"President Obama announced on December 17 that the United States will resume diplomatic relations with Cuba after more than 50 years of antagonism. Bloomberg's Sam Grobart recaps the standoff between the two nations, and explains why the icy relationship has begun to thaw."
By now I'm sure you've heard the news that the United States is seeking to normalize relations with Cuba and politicians are reacting to this news in diverse ways. Some see this as a way for the United States to stick it to Russia (which is going through it's on troubles--more on that in the future). This video gives a quick rundown of the history of Cold War tensions between these two neighbors.

Inequality isn't just about money. It's also about information. The lack of reliable data about developing countries makes things like development work and disaster relief much harder.
There is 'mapping inequality' throughout the world; poorer countries often don't have comprehensive census information and geospatial data. Crowd-sourced mapping is seeking to change and improve geographic awareness, especially in moments of crisis. For example the maps of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea were essentially blank at the beginning of the Ebola outbreak but that glaring need meant volunteers were using geographic tools to improve developmental situations by providing more information.

"60 years has made a big difference in the urban form of American cities. The most rapid change occurred during the mid-century urban renewal period that cleared large tracts of urban land for new highways, parking, and public facilities or housing projects. Fine-grained networks of streets and buildings on small lots were replaced with superblocks and megastructures. While the period did make way for impressive new projects in many cities, many of the scars are still unhealed. We put together these sliders to show how cities have changed over half a century. In this post, we look at Midwestern cities such as [pictured above] Cincinnati, Ohio."
It's ironic that I feel more accustomed to exploring Cincinnati, OH on foot than I do Providence, RI. Although I drive in downtown Providence regularly, I seldom have a reason to walk and explore it. In my yearly visits to Cincinnati to score the AP Human Geography exams, I'm outside my hometown and away from my typical routine. That helps me feel more like a flâneur, to stroll the streets and explore the urban landscape. This set of 7 before and after images shows Midwestern cities (Cincinnati, Detroit, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Columbus) lets you digitally analyze the last 70 years of urban morphology. Click here for a gallery 7 of cities in Texas and Oklahoma.
Questions to Ponder: What are the biggest changes you see for the 1950 to today? How are the land uses difference? Has the density changed? Do any of urban models help us understand these cities?

"Though uninhabited and full of melting ice caps, the Arctic is surprisingly an appealing piece of real estate. Many countries have already claimed parts of the region. So who technically owns the North Pole? And why do these nations want it so bad?"
Denmark is now being more assertive in their claims. Why is this happening now? As climate change threatens polar ice caps, some see the receding ice as an economic and political opportunity. Canada, Russia, Denmark (Greenland) and the U.S. are all seeking to expand their maritime claims in the Arctic. When trapped under ice, extracting resources is cost prohibitive, but the melting sea ice will make the Arctic's resources all the more valuable (including the expanded shipping lanes). Even a global disaster like climate change can make countries behave like jackals, ready to feast on a dead carcass. For more, read this National Geographic blogpost.

The very short answer--Hadley Cells. This Minute Earth video nicely explains why the Earth has tropical rainforests near the equator and deserts just to the north (and south) of them. For another physics video that shows more of the science of swirling fluid dynamics, check this video out.
Interesting short video explaining Hadley Cells and why the earth rain forests on Equator and deserts above and below.
"The Midwest is this big nebulous part of the country and it's kind of what's left over after all the other regions of the country are defined. Those regions have much stronger identities if you think of the East Coast or maybe New England or the Pacific Northwest or certainly the South. The Midwest is kind of the catchall for what's left. We [Minnesota] should be called the North."
Whether I agree or not with the ideas being discussed, I simply love that this discussion is taking place and how intensely geographical the ideas and evidences being brought forward are.
Questions to Ponder: So what region do you live in? What defines that region? Are there other regions that you can claim to be a part of also? How would you divide the United States into various regions? How come?
A sign urging environmental action during a United Nations summit meeting on climate change was placed near a 1,000-year-old geoglyph that is a cultural treasure in Peru. Officials are outraged over the trespassing and the disturbance of the ancient grounds.
Greenpeace is falling for some of the same social media fails as the selfie generation. Peruvian authorities are angry that Greenpeace activists damaged a forbidden archeological site that is both a national symbol and sacred site. UN climate talks are taking place in Peru right now, so this Greenpeace publicity stunt becomes all the more ironic. The Peruvian government is accusing them of irrevocably damaging the environment at this site. Here is an article about how the environmental community was impacted by this Greenpeace stunt.
Tags: religion, South America, Peru, environment.
This is something that absolutely mortifies me. As the United Nations climate change summit met in Peru, Greenpeace thought to make a stance. Greenpeace decided to trespass onto some of Peru's most sacred, ancient, and mysterious grounds, the Nazca lines. These geoglyphs are thousands of years old, and no one is quite sure what they mean or why they were made. The lines have remained because of the dry, windless climate in the valley allowing for the dirt to remain undisturbed. Greenpeace, without permission, decided to set up fabric lettering in the soil next to one of the most iconic figures. Officials are outraged because not only was it trespassing, but the eco group may have irreversibly damaged the site. Greenpeace responded with a very "sorry not sorry" apology, and Peru is looking towards pressing charges.
Many remain divided on their outlook on radical environmentalists such as Greenpeace. While they may be spouting good ideas in regards to helping the environment, at what point does it become eco-terrorism? In this instance, the lack of consideration that they have shown towards another country rivals that of the same actions that they themselves are aiming to stop.
What do America's bike paths look like from coast coast and how do bike lanes in cities stack up?
Tags: transportation, planning.
With the rise in gas emissions, everyone is trying to make a stride towards reducing this effect and cleaning up our society. One way in particular is using a bike to get to work. Although it may not seem like something we are used to, it is definitely something we should start getting used to. Looking at this map of the bike lanes in america we see a large amount of the west coast and east coast dedicated towards pushing the issue so that bikes become more prevalent. In theory using bikes will not only reduce emission but it makes for a healthier human body by exerting physical activity instead of sitting back and cruising your way to work. To my knowledge if we try for pushing the issue with more bikes then we are also helping our environment
"Summer 2014 brought a sight that had not been seen since 1941: the Charles W. Morgan leaving the Mystic River for the Atlantic Ocean, stopping at several New England harbors before eventually arriving in New Bedford, Massachusetts where the ship was built in 1841. The Charles W. Morgan is the last remaining wooden whaling ship in the world, and a National Historic Landmark."
Only two countries today are stilling whaling (Japan and Norway), but the whaling industry was a critical component to the settling of New England. Check out this Maps 101 podcast for short introduction to the historical geography of New England whaling.

"Farm exports to the U.S. from Mexico have tripled to $7.6 billion in the last decade, enriching agribusinesses, distributors and retailers.
American consumers get all the salsa, squash and melons they can eat at affordable prices. And top U.S. brands — Wal-Mart, Whole Foods, Subway and Safeway, among many others — profit from produce they have come to depend on.These corporations say their Mexican suppliers have committed to decent treatment and living conditions for workers. But a Los Angeles Times investigation found that for thousands of farm laborers south of the border, the export boom is a story of exploitation and extreme hardship."
This is a hard read, but it is important to understand that there is a dark underbelly to many of the economic systems that are reshaping the world today. Sometimes we ask all the wrong questions, like "why is organic, local, or fair trade food so expensive?" We should really be asking why the other options are so cheap.
This, unfortunately is part of the answer. The video above is a snippet from a 4-part series (I-camps, II-labor, III-Company Stores , IV-Child Labor) from the LA Times that has excellent pictures, videos, and interviews highlighting the working conditions of farm workers in Mexico. For an audio version, here is an NPR podcast interviewing Richard Marosi, the investigator behind the story.

Taking into account the export boom from the US to Mexico its easy to see there were loopholes that were taken to achieve this success. With an increase of almost 3 fold, it is safe to say that much of our product comes from Mexico but at what cost? Farmers and workers in Mexico get paid little to none for the hardships they have to go through just to put some food on the table for their family. Big corporations want to make as much profit as possible, even if that means taking away from those that already have nothing to give. This video exposes all the farmers that are at the crossroads of being forced to do their job and actually having a job
It's crazy to see how desperate some of these people are to get working and how much they do for such a little reward. These people are working longer and harder than probably all Americans and they are barely surviving. They work for survival. It's hard for some of these people to stay healthy, especially in the harsh conditions and tight living spaces that these people have to deal with on an everyday basis.
"Mr. Tom is as much a chief technology officer as he is a farmer. Where his great-great-grandfather hitched a mule, 'we've got sensors on the combine, GPS data from satellites, cellular modems on self-driving tractors, apps for irrigation on iPhones,' he said.
The demise of the small family farm has been a long time coming. But for farmers like Mr. Tom, technology offers a lifeline, a way to navigate the boom-and-bust cycles of making a living from the land. It is also helping them grow to compete with giant agribusinesses."
The New York Times article associated with the video above offers a great glimpse into the inner works of how agribusiness technologies have transformed the American family farm.

I have a confession to make; I'm a map geek. Even as a kid watching Raiders of the Lost Ark, I was fascinated by the map they used to segue between scenes to show Indiana Jones' travels.

"Physicist Geoffrey West has found that simple, mathematical laws govern the properties of cities — that wealth, crime rate, walking speed and many other aspects of a city can be deduced from a single number: the city's population. In this mind-bending talk from TEDGlobal he shows how it works and how similar laws hold for organisms and corporations."
While corporations rise and fall, it is quite rare for a city to entirely fail as an economic system. Huge cities have some negative consequences, but the networks that operate in the city function more efficiently on economies of scale in a way that offsets the negatives. Increasing a city's population will continue to improve the economies of scale (larger cities have higher wages per capita, more creative employment per capita, etc.). However, this growth requires major technological innovations to sustain long-term growth.

In the 1950s, Detroit was the 4th largest city in the U.S. with a booming population around 2 million as seen in some vintage footage of Detroit. As the de-industrialization process restructured the US economy, globalization restructured the world's economy, and Detroit's local economic strategy crumbled. Detroit was $18-20 million in debt with a population around 700,000 and is unable to pull out of this nosedive. The tax base shrunk, city services were spread thin and in 2013, Detroit filed for bankruptcy. Today, some parts of Detroit are rebounding well while others are in absolute disarray. These differences can, in part, be understood by using aerial photography and a spatial perspective.

"Self-taught Iranian photographer gains rare access to shoot religious buildings as they've never been seen.

Islamic art is full of brilliant patterns and colors and most historic art is symmetrical. These pictures are absolutely beautiful.
It is interesting to see how the social and cultural factors surrounding Iranian mosques posed barriers to taking these pictures. The pictures show the beauty and colors of these mosques, showing how important they are to their history and society.
Conflict Kitchen is an art project based in the centre of Pittsburgh which serves food from countries with which the US is 'in conflict'. The founders get to define what conflict means - it can range from outright war to economic sanctions - and since opening in 2010 they have prepared food from Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela and Cuba. But the restaurant's latest choice of cuisine, Palestinian food, has caused controversy in the city and even led to a death threat which temporarily closed the venue. Critics pointed out that the US is not in conflict with the Palestinian people. They claimed that the pamphlets served with the dishes included 'anti-Israel' propaganda. But Conflict Kitchen's founders said the project was designed to encourage debate among Americans."
Questions to Ponder: What do you think the purpose of Conflict Kitchen is for the restaurant owners? Many people choose restaurants for a cultural experience; what type of cultural experiences are these patrons searching for by eating at Conflict Kitchen? What political overtones are there to these cultural encounters? Is this a form of 'gastro-diplomacy?'
While this Minute Earth video might make geomorphology experts cringe at some of the vocabulary in this, it still is a good introduction to the absolute basics of fluvial geomorphology, or how and why rivers reshape the Earth. Fun fact: Albert Einstein pondered some of the great mysteries of the Earth, and in 1926 wrote an article on this very subject (actual paper can be read here).

El agua tiene su ritmo y pulsa al fluir, gira sobre sí misma. Cuando está en su ambiente natural y se le permite fluir y crear el ambiente por el cual fluye, crea los ríos sinuosos y serpenteantes y cuando esto ocurre, allí donde su dirección de giro cambia de dirección—rotación derecha, con el reloj, hacia una rotación izquierda, contra reloj—lo cual ocurre en las rectas, suelta lo que ha estado llevando y cargando en suspensión y esta material sólido se precipita. Asimismo, cuando el agua gira sobre si misma, se enfría, haciéndose más pesada. Es este tipo de movimiento el que hace que los ríos de las planicies serpenteen, más que cualquier otra influencia que haya "suavizado" sus orillas.
Water has its own rhythm and pulsates while flowing, it turns over itself when allowed to. When water is in its own natural environment and is allowed to flow and create its own space, it will create the sinuous rivers and when this happens, where its vortex direction changes—rotating clockwise or counterclockwise—it will release the silt and other materials it was carrying in suspension and they will fall to the bottom. Also, as it turns over itself, water cools down, becoming heavier. It is this motion that makes the plain rivers become sinuous, more so than whatever other influence that may have "loosened" its shores.
A very siual form using simple language to explain the meandering of rivers. Applicable to the course work on Hydrosphere.
Actually a very good video. My one quibble is with the introduction, when the narrator talks about mountain streams "carving" their gorges. The puzzle of how small streams could possibly carve out deep bedrock canyons is an ongoing research problem, and is difficult to resolve from a gradualistic perspective.
There are some beautiful images and places to be discovered through this quiz. This set of aerial photographs challenges the reader to guess the country where the image was taken; even with two options, it's quite challenging. This forces the reader to use context clues in the physical and human landscapes to make an education guess.

"Each student should have a large piece of butcher block paper (15x20). They should use a pencil for this activity (color pencils are optional). Using the template provided, each student should make their own template. It is crucial that size for each of the 'characters' in the city be the same. As you read each of the Rounds, your pace should increase so that by Round 15 the students will only have a short time to draw their buildings."
In this game, you simulate the industrial revolution and have your students design a village that, after 20 rounds of the simulation, will grow to a full-fledged city. Various teachers have adapted the rules for this game and here are some variants that are saved as a standard webpage, Microsoft Word file, PDF, Powerpoint and Prezi formats.

Xav gears and talents for specific encounters fairly normally. If there's a specific mechanic that favors hit on one of the fights, he'll take it. If the mechanic favors mastery, he'll take that. I wouldn't read too much into it.
Many in this community know of Xav from the guild Premonition. I usually use that toon as a basis for gemming/ gearing, etc.. Since the beginning of Cata, the character has stacked Mastery/ Parry/ Dodge, in that order, to the exclusivity of most other stats.
However, I recently noticed (this week) that the toon completely switched reforging to cap hit and go over the expertise soft cap. I know interrupts are important on some fights, but I was wondering if there was a logical explanation I was missing concerning the character's change? The only other reason I can think of is maximizing damage, since both interrupts and damage are crucial on HM Nef.
I notice that using the 5% chance to miss, the toon is still unhittable when Shield Block is up.
BTW, this is by no means scientific, and rather subjective. However, I put a good chunk of trust in someone who downs hard mode content as consistently as Xav.
Any thoughts?
Squirrel, your pants are weak.

That's what I was thinking too. Obviously, heroic gear gives him more flexibility in stat allotment as well, but I'm just wondering what encounter it's for, and perhaps whether reforging and stats should be adjusted after a certain level of gear? I'm curious to see if he switches back to avoidance or keeps the hit/expertise going into other fights as well.
Squirrel, your pants are weak.
If he went past expertise "soft cap", he's either found a fight he feels he has to have as much threat as possible, or he found a fight he doesn't want to proc parry haste on. Since I haven't heard anyone talk about Parry haste in a while, he probably just wants to push threat.
Reev hit it on the head. Bottom line is the people on the bleeding edge of progression can, and often do, afford luxuries well beyond that of normal everyday players. It isn't unbelievable that they could spend thousands of gold regemming, reforging, re-enchanting, respecing, reglyphing, regearing just to meet the needs of a specific encounter.
Everything you can do to optimize your character, people who can afford to do so may very well do that.
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
My main thought is why it's NOT threat is because threat hasn't been an issue this whole expansion, outside of the opening seconds of a fight. It seems odd there would be a fight where a dramatic shift would happen that would change that, outside of a non-tauntable tank switch, which I have yet to see, though it might be there for a heroic encounter.
My theory was damage, just because a warrior tank can push another 2k-3k damage pretty easily if he/she wants to go for the hit and expertise. My other thought is that an interrupt is necessary that no one else can provide, such as on a pillar add for Nefarion, which I imagine Premonition is working on.
Squirrel, your pants are weak.
Well, a week ago, he avoided hit and expertise like the plague. He was literally no higher than 5 expertise and 2-3% hit, which is the point of the thread and the reason for my assumption. I don't think dps changed that dramatically in one weeks time. Also, threat has been a joke for any tank that knows his/her rotation for the entirety of the expansion thus far.
As he has held threat before, there would have to be a mechanic I'm not aware of that makes someone generate massive amounts of threat that they didn't before, which is possible (the mind control mechanic on Nef) but somewhat improbable, since within a minute or two, you're usually 2-3 million threat ahead of dps. At hit/ exp caps, you're even farther away, which is a waste of stat allocation that you could be using to take less damage/ more consistent damage.
I'm not disregarding the idea that threat might be the issue, but it seems highly unlikely unless there is a mechanic tweaking the normal threat paradigm. If that's the answer, I'll gladly accept it.
Squirrel, your pants are weak.
Much more likely to be interrupts than anything else.
Premo is not working on Nef atm. To my knowledge they downed ascendance council last week, which was when i first noticed him reforging for these stats. As soon as they killed the boss he reforged back to mastery. I would say it is merely for ascendance council because the bosses really don't hit very hard, it is more of a mechanic fight, maximum threat is needed as well. And the real issue is p3 where they all combine. This phase is where damage really matters, tank damage is not an issue, it's raid healing which gets consistently more intense. The faster this boss dies the better, and while threat isn't a big issue a couple of seconds can be the difference between a kill and a wipe. To my knowledge premo is now working on cho'gal since basically 0 guilds have killed Nef, besides paragon who did it when a specific mechanic gave them more dps than usual which has been reverted. It isn't for kicking to my knowledge it's the dps increase for a low tank damage fight where max threat and dps are needed. He did it right before they killed ascendant council and I am willing to bet he did it again this week for the same encounter.
He who is afraid to lose will never win.
Only when the power of love overcomes the worlds love of power, will mankind know peace.
You should probably try asking him. I notice people swapping to hit/exp a lot. Could be a fight, could be they are done raiding for a day or two and they wanna cap cause missing sucks. Any days I'm not raiding, I forge my hit/expertise back. I put it back on when it's time to raid again, lol. You probably won't find the answer to your question on these forums. That is, unless he started using tankspot again.
Well, if he's the tank that tanks fledius [or w/e the frost boss name is] and they don't want their dps to waste time on interupts [Tbh, when it's time to switch on the fire boss, you need all your dps to do so and none can be spared to interupt, spacially in 10 man], it's very likly the tank to have hit/exp caps.
I know I wiped the raid a few times when we had a parried or dodged interupt happen [I'm not too fond of hit/exp, avoiding those aswell]. Rising flame + ice lance is a killer to any cloth/leather/mail dps.
