Proposed district lines. | Photo Provided~Sun-Times Media
Updated: December 24, 2012 11:38AM
CROWN POINT — The City Council approved redrawn council districts Dec. 20 by a 6-0 vote. Councilwoman Carol Drasga, R-5th, was absent.
Councilman Robert Clemons, R-2nd, asked when the new districts would take effect.
Mayor David Uran said the state needs to approve the districts. "Then your district would change," Uran said.
The council's redistricting committee was made up of Bill Feder, D-at large, Chad Jeffries, D-1st and Mark Schweitzer, R-at large. They said the new map evenly divides the city into geographical areas that respect neighborhoods.
Schweitzer said he has sent the new district map to both city political party chairs.
By following existing city major streets, the divisions keep each district compact and meets the contiguity requirments of federal and state rules and regulations.
Some citizens will switch from one council representative to another to achieve contiguity as well as equal population. There is a constitutional requirement that requires each district to be substantially equal in total population.
Districts must be divided by the census data obtained by the U.S. Census Bureau at the 2010 census.
Precincts used by election boards are usually figured by the number of registered voters. That can make getting permission from the county and state a bit more difficult than just drawing lines on a map that meets the contiguity and population equality.

Shawn Levy to Produce Sci-Fi Thriller STORY OF YOUR LIFE; Nic Mathieu Will Direct
by Adam Chitwood Posted 2 years, 24 days ago
The very busy Shawn Levy is adding another project to his development docket, though this time it's only in a producing capacity. FilmNation Entertainment announced today that it would finance and produce the sci-fi thriller Story of Your Life alongside Lava Bear Films, with Levy producing the pic via his 21 Laps banner with partner Dan Levine. Written by Eric Heisserer (The Thing), the film is based on a short story by Ted Chiang that takes place immediately after aliens land around the globe and centers on a linguist who is recruited by the US government in a race to decipher their intentions on Earth.
Commercials director Nic Mathieu is set to direct, and the pic is being fast-tracked with casting beginning immediately for a planned 2013 production start-date. Levy most recently wrapped his latest directorial project, the Owen Wilson/Vince Vaughn comedy The Internship, and earlier this month signed on to helm the ensemble dramedy adaptation This Is Where I Leave You. Hit the jump to read the full press release concerning Story of Your Life.

Amy Purdy and Derek Hough: 39/40 Before taking on the quickstep and a jazz number this week, Amy got a little call from superfan Oprah, as in Oprah Winfrey. Sorry, guys, if you don't know who she is, go here.
Long story short, Oprah is a huge DWTS fan and promised to take Amy and Derek to dinner, but only if they win, which I thought was kind of brilliant.
The quickstep was first. Amy was wearing a new set of legs that really allowed her to bounce around the dance floor. I was horrified that she and Derek were going to hit heads at one point, but they both got away without any bumps or bruises. And Derek was feeling real good about it. Cue Tiger Woods fist pump!
Bruno thought Amy's lightness of touch was incredible, and Carrie Ann thought she went full throttle. Carrie Ann also made a comment about "because of the way everything's working down there," to which I would just like to say: No. Please stop.
Moving on, Len thought there was "plenty of bounce to the ounce," though he would've liked more body contact, and Kenny would like the world to know it's his mother's 88th birthday! Also, his family calls her Triple Amy, which is something I should probably get, but please don't hate me if I don't. I'm only halfway through my Diet Pepsi.
Upstairs, Derek got serious about life, talking about how pressure doesn't really exist but rather we create it. Honestly, I've never had a thought that deep in my life, and suddenly I want to go on a zen retreat with Derek. We'll do yoga during the day and dance at night. Who's in? We can bring Tom to narrate and make fun of everyone and everything.
For the judges, Len was the only holdout for a 10, which is why dear old "Lenny" got booed. Also, this is when we found out all three Olympians were in jeopardy, a phrase that Tom would repeat at least 8 times during the show.
James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd: 40/40 James was dancing a cha cha to Michael Jackson's new song, which meant he needed to meet up with L.A. Reid, which I'm sure had nothing to do with his music career. All in all, I thought the performance was fun, but I felt that James' chest popping could've used some work. Yes, he was smooth, but let's not compare him to MJ, because no. Also, was this dance shorter than all the others?
Important side note: Paul Anka was in the crowd! But before you get too excited, not that Paul Anka. Rather, the human Anka co-wrote that song and thought he'd pay the ballroom a little visit. Carrie Ann, for one, couldn't believe it. Through her screams about Paul Anka, she said James was spectacular -- but not as spectacular as freakin' Paul Anka! -- and Len thought it was a fantastic blend of cha cha and MJ. Kenny thought it was electrifying, and Bruno decided there was a bit of "Smooth Criminal" in James' upper half, and a bit of "Bad" in his pelvic thrusts. Bravo, Bruno.
P.S. James was sick, and a perfect score is the perfect cure for nausea! If only I could find a dance competition next time I'm sick?
Commercial break secret: The trick to Carrie Ann's hair = she has a curling iron at the judges' panel! My hair never stood a chance.
NEXT: Maks kisses everyone

caraccamptonwhat do i do
what do i do 5 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.
How I did it: My mom and I went to our first bingo game, mostly for fun. Near the end I began to feel disappointed that I wasn't going to win.
But I will never forget what happened next. I WON $1,000. Yes, that's one THOUSAND. I was shocked and so happy. I literally went in with only $8 in my checking account and left with $1,008! Read how I did it… 5 years ago
what do i do 5 years ago
has won sooo much stuff. It's like an annual tradition for my friend to go w/ her family to the Price is Right. They seriously are the luckiest family I know. Her dad has won a boat and a trip to New Zealand. Her mom won a jacuzzi, a mustang (worth over $200,000), one year maid service, a new bedroom set, and other little odds and ends.
Her mom spends a little time everyday signing up for contests. Like I said before I guess persistance pays off. 8 years ago
I think I saw on Dateline or something this lady's hobby was actually signing up for tons of contests. She won all kinds of stuff because of her persistance. Not everything was that special either, she one a years supply of Ragu sauce or something. I just never saw anything like it before.
The biggest thing I ever won were a pair of shoes. No joke. But I'd really like to win a vacation for two so I can travel w/ my boyfriend. My only worry is accumulating tons of junk mail. Signing up for online contests I've especially seen tons of junk mail flood into my email account. I might keep a seperate account just for that. Anyway that would be fantastic if I could win something, anything big like that. 8 years ago

29 Great Solutions
AEC firms are hotbeds of invention and innovation to meet client needs in today's highly competitive environment. The editors of Building Design+Construction are pleased to present 29 "Great Solutions" to some of the most complex problems and issues facing Building Teams today.
August 11, 2010
|The Riverwalk runs along the south bank of the Chicago River, giving the Windy City a 1.3-mile-long pedestrian promenade.
Chicago has long enjoyed a beautiful waterfront along Lake Michigan, but the Windy City's second waterfront along the Chicago River was often ignored and mostly neglected. Thanks to a $22 million rehab by local architect Carol Ross Barney and her associate John Fried, a 1.3-mile stretch of land morphed into an urban park with a 17-foot-wide promenade that meanders along the river's south bank through the heart of downtown Chicago. Parts of the Riverwalk existed prior to the overhaul, but the usable spaces existed as self-contained islands with no relation to one another, forcing pedestrians to climb steps and cross busy streets to get from one to the other. Connecting these previously unconnected spaces and creating an uninterrupted path (gaps were built atop steel piles and concrete landfill) that can be used by people strolling, jogging, or biking along the water was critical. The improvements also brought cafés, retail, tour boat docks, extensive landscaping and hardscaping, and abundant seating. The city's new Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fountain is also installed along the Riverwalk.
1. Riverwalk Transforms Chicago's Second Waterfront
|Canopies offer high style below bridges
At several points along the riverwalk, the path runs beneath bridges where passing vehicles can shower pedestrians below with dirt and debris and where the covered, shadowy space can instill a sense of trepidation in those walking underneath. The architects' solution to these problems was the installation of canopies that act as barriers between the bridges and the pathway. Bright lighting is integrated into the canopies, which are covered with stainless steel shingles that act as mirrors to reflect the water's shimmering elegance. One Chicago architecture critic blogging about the canopies wrote: "instead of under-bridge fear, you get under-bridge delight."
|Built on the 75-year-old ruins of New York City's elevated freight train tracks, the High Line is a 1.45-mile urban park that winds around buildings and above streets on the city's West Side. The $152 million rehab is inspiring similar projects throughout the world.
Reconstruction of the High Line turned 1.45 miles of elevated and abandoned railroad track into a public park that offers unprecedented views of New York City and the Hudson River as it winds around buildings and over streets 30 feet above the West Side (from Gansevoort St. to 34th St., between 10th & 11th Avenues). The original 13-mile High Line opened in 1934 as a way to combat numerous accidents by elevating freight train tracks above street-level traffic (10th Avenue was dubbed Death Avenue around this time), a public-private project that cost $150 million, the equivalent of $2 billion today. The newest High Line project, the first phase of which opened June 8, cost $152 million and was championed by Friends of the High Line and planned by the architects Diller Scofidio & Renfro and landscape architect James Corner Field Operations. As part of the adaptive reuse project, the High Line is being fully rehabilitated (concrete repair, repainting, and drainage improvements) and pathways, lush plantings, seating (fixed and mobile) and lighting are being added. Access points occur every two to three blocks. The High Line, which took inspiration from the Promenade Plantée in Paris, is serving as inspiration for urban renewal projects in Chicago, Jersey City, Rotterdam, Philadelphia, and St. Louis.
2. High Line Elevates the Typical Urban Park
|The main circulation path in BeachBody's Santa Monica, Calif., office is also a 1/4 - mile walking track, complete with rubber flooring.
When Wolcott Architecture¦Interiors of Culver City, Calif., was asked to design BeachBody's new Santa Monica, Calif., offices, the fitness and weight loss solutions company challenged them to create a workspace that reflected its mission to promote healthy lifestyles. One of the 55,000-sf office's standout features is a ¼-mile walking track that runs around the perimeter of the office's third floor. Workspaces were pulled away from outside walls allowing daylight to filter throughout the space—sustainability aligned with the company's wellness goals and the office earned LEED CI Gold—and by doing so a six-foot-wide walkway was created. Architects turned it into a real walking track—down to the rubber sports flooring—that also functions as a main circulation path. Employees now have a convenient way to incorporate walking into their exercise regimen—or a way to work off a really big lunch.

Sartorial advice needed
I have been summoned for Jury Service in December in Swindon. I suppose a grand show trial of the massed youth of Swindon for wearing hoodies and lolling around slack jawed watching the traffic lights change as the most sophisticated entertainment their evo-stuck brains can comprehend is unfortunately unlikely to happen. So should I polish up my brogues and wear the pinstripe suit with an inch of hempen rope dangling from the pocket and a black handkerchief ready to be whipped out or should I dig out the sandals I bought when suffering from a whitlow, let the beard grow and knit myself a jumper from nettles?

Like so many others, Franco Zeffirelli has fallen under the spell of Maria Callas' magnificent voice. In this cinematic tribute to a true diva, he moves away from the pinhole to give us a peek beneath the facade of legend the way only a finely spun fiction can. Toward the end of her reclusive life, Maria Callas has lost her magnificent voice--and with it the adoration of thousands. When an old friend (and her ex-manager) rediscovers Callas and learns of her plight, he gently guides her back into the limelight for a final performance of her seminal role, Carmen. This time captured forever on film. Also starring Joan Plowright as a favored friend and confidante and Gabriel Garko as the younger lover who finds himself enchanted by Callas.

Since the two KEY components of a healthy diet are FRUIT and VEGETABLES, I decided to continue my "Is It Healthy" series today and discuss fruit smoothies. Enjoying a FRUIT smoothie is the 100% nutritionally sound choice and we should all eat one every day, right?….maybe.
Fruit smoothies can be a wonderful, incredible, delicious component of a healthy diet. They can be loaded with nutrients; fiber, protein, vitamins/minerals, that will leave you feeling satisfied and contain all "good for you" ingredients. However, there is a HUGE difference between a fruit smoothie you blend up at home and some concoction you get at your local retail shop.
One of the most common misconceptions about smoothies is their healthy reputation. When the average person chooses a fruit smoothie over an ice cream cone at their local retail shop, they automatically think they are making the wise selection. You might leave the shop feeling super healthy, when in reality, you could have just consumed more than a meal's worth of calories and two days worth of sugar as your SNACK! Yeeps! Let's take a closer look at a few selections from familiar franchises.
- Jamba Juice: The Aloha Pineapple Power Smoothie literally contains 123 grams of SUGAR! Ingredients: Pineapple Juice blend, Pineapple Sherbet, frozen strawberries, non-fat plain yogurt, frozen bananas, ice.
- Planet Smoothie: Wellness Oatmeal Smoothie: 490 calories, 11 grams fiber, 5 grams protein, 78 grams of sugar; Ingredients were NOT listed which means we don't know if that smoothie contains yogurt, pure sugar, artificial flavorings and colorings (probably considering the vibrant colors in some drinks like the 'Rasmanian Devil'), or other hidden ingredients.
- Orange Julius (Dairy Queen): 3 Berry Blast: 460 calories, 8 g protein, 6 g fiber, 89 grams sugars; Ingredients: Couldn't find their ingredient list either! Has anyone found them? I would love to know!
Sugar: If you didn't already notice, these fruit smoothies contain LOADS of sugar! While fruit contains some natural sugars, many commercial smoothie brands contain more refined sugar than a can of soda or even a piece of cake! Those multi-colored syrups that are being squirted in to the smoothies are mostly made up of pure corn syrup or other refined sugars like beet or cane sugar. Even though you might feel like you have a newfound surge of energy after consuming one of these puppies, I assure you, it won't last; your energy will quickly crash and make you crave even MORE sugar shortly thereafter!
Supplements: One of the reasons consumers are drawn to smoothies is because of the additional supplements that are used to "boost" the nutritional content. In actuality, the supplements often used in smoothies are genetically modified and contain lots of chemical fillers and other synthetic ingredients. The actual nutrient being tooted, like vitamin C, is usually one of the last items on the ingredient list, and is generally of poor quality (meaning absorption rates and nutritional benefit are questionable). Your sudden surge of energy is more likely from the SUGAR than the booster nutrient! "The best way to ensure a "booster" is indeed a healthy option is to make the retailer accountable for its ingredients. The ultimate scenario is that the retailer is using a smoothie booster made from highly raw and organic whole foods in powder form, without any added chemicals. That way, the vitamins and minerals are all naturally occurring and easily absorbed in the body." (source)
Artificial Sweeteners: While I used to be addicted to all things artificial sweetener (because I was only concerned with calories), I now realize the error of my ways and I want you to as well! When purchasing a smoothie, you might feel that opting for a sugar-free variety is best. However, artificial or chemically altered sweeteners (aspartame and sucralose, for example), might be worse for you than sugar. The research continues to find negative health effects of these artificial sweeteners from headaches to certain forms of cancer!
Bottom line: If you enjoy fruit smoothies from a shop, treat yourself like you would ice cream, as an occasional treat. Try not to make Jamba Juice or DQ an every day stop on lunch, otherwise you will be getting a lot of unnecessary sugar!
My BEST suggestion? Make your own! There are TONS of amazingly tasty smoothie recipes out there that contain REAL ingredients and only natural sugars (from the fruit itself). Knock yourself out because one of the following concoctions could be the healthiest part of your day!
Some honorable mentions:
- Oh She Glows Berrylicious Smoothie
- How Sweet It Is: "Perfect Smoothie Ingredients"
- The Fitness Dish: Yummiest Fruity Smoothie
- Eat, Spin, Run, Repeat: Peach Cobbler Smoothie

Alain de Botton's ten Virtues have raised an important point. See, I think the notion of a rigid virtue system is pointless because it creates a rigid notion of what makes a person "good" and when we know that's not the case. You may have all these "virtues" but still be bad for the world. Having these so called virtues may not make you a force for good.
Let's take the Taliban. Do you think that the Taliban don't smile? They don't love their kids? They don't joke with each other? Do you think that they are cowards?
They are human just like us and many have these virtues. Yet it is their actions that decide whether they are virtuous or not (to borrow a phrase).
Rather than say what I think is wrong with Alain de Botton's list, I prefer to say what I think is important to us. But here is the thing. What I think is important and what is important are entirely different things. What you think is important may be equally different. This is what I value and what I think is important. I am sure you have your own such list. These are just some ideas that I think are important.
In keeping with the Ten rule let's stick to that number.
1. Perseverance -
A lot of things in life are difficult. A lot of things in life are hard. Some of the best things in life are hard.
Do not give up, but do ask for help. There is climbing Everest and there is climbing Everest with a friend for company. You don't have to suffer alone and in silence. Don't just throw your hands up in the air and give up doing something if it gets hard. There are times when you are alone and scared and lonely but you can still "win" and that requires perseverance and fighting to the end.
2. Challenge Yourself
Don't say no to a new experience. Give it a try. You will be surprised and you will find something new. If you don't like an experience (I always say try something at least twice, the first time may just be terrible because something went wrong) the worst you can say is that you have tried it and didn't like it rather than condemn it off hand.
This does mean you end up eating some pretty weird things, but it's better than not eating them. You live for experiences and denying yourself an experience is a poor way to live.
Push Your Boundaries, You Will Be Surprised By What You Can Do. Don't just give up without trying (see 1.)
3. Patience
It doesn't mean "just accept" the way things are. It means to be willing to wait to get the things you want. To be willing to try and explain to others the things that are important. To realise that change doesn't occur in an instant and to not throw your toys out of the pram at the slightest hint of things not going your way.
We live in an age of instant gratification and so when we do need to show patience we often lack it.
4. Compromise
We cannot have everything we desire. Sometimes we need to learn to compromise on certain things.
This doesn't mean that we should compromise on things that are important. Remember all these are concepts and aren't hard or fast rules. That we should use our discernment in how we apply these concepts.
5. Calmness
A lot of mistakes are made when you act on impulse. And indeed sometimes you do have to act on impulse alone. But when possible think your actions through and do so when calm. This is less a virtue and more a good state to be able to drop into when making decisions because a calm mind helps make objective decisions better.
6. Politeness
Being polite doesn't mean keeping quiet. Being polite means being courteous to those around you and thinking a little bit about what your actions mean to the people you interact with.
There are some people it's very hard to be polite around. And there are some people who "being polite" to involves standing up to. If a person is waving a "God Hates Abortion" sign outside a clinic then what is the polite response? Is it more polite to just walk away or is it polite to stand up and voice your opinion and try to keep the people who go to the clinic safe from harassment?
These are decisions to make based on your idea of what "polite" means. Being polite also means being able to separate your unbelief from your actions. You may work with someone who believes in a god. You can say no without being rude if they try and involve you in their activities. (Eg. I am sorry, I don't believe in any gods and it isn't for me. RATHER than Fuck Your God!). It's fun to be virulently atheist on the internet but IRL you do have to be sensible about what you say because religion is a strongly held belief and what you say may hurt someone's feelings and indeed entrench their opinion about us. Learning when to be outspoken and when to be diplomatic is a feat in itself but there are no right answers to that.
7. Learn to Handle Failure
Failure is common, we fail more than we succeed.
We live in a world where we loathe to teach children to fail. I do think we have created a generation of privilege who refuse to accept any failure and this ill prepares them for life.
There are winners and there are losers and our kids can do better if they learn that loss isn't something to be ashamed off. That we should learn from mistakes rather than try to create a system where no mistakes can happen. But that means watching our kids fail and helping them when they do fail.
8. Charity
Help your fellow man because there is no one else out there to help them. Help yourself first but if you can help someone do so. Sometimes charity can be just words, sometimes it's money and sometimes it is time.
Give what you can. And charity doesn't mean Medicin Sans Frontier only. It can also mean listening to an upset stranger. Charity is helping your fellow man.
And please don't "compare" charities or else you just end up saying that giving money to a sick person isn't as valid as giving money to a sick person in a third world nation. By which logic we should throw Make A Wish under a bus because there are dying kids out there who are more interested in "Make A Proper Meal".
Charity Top Trumps doesn't work. Do what you can for what you believe in but think before you dedicate yourself to charity.
9. Humour
Do I need to explain? Life can be funny even when it's being sad. And you would be surprised how universal a smile is.
10. Curiosity
Never ever stop being curious about the world because there is ALWAYS something new to learn. There is always another viewpoint and another experience to have. And each of these teach us something. You are never too old or too rich or too smart or too educated to learn something new. We don't know everything and we cannot know everything, but we can learn about a lot of it to enrich our view of the world.
Otherwise you will forever live without knowing what the most common genetic disorder is despite the answer being right on our faces. Curiosity has driven humanity and curiosity and the thirst for knowledge is the most important "Virtue" for any atheist.
As I have repeatedly said… these are just what I think is important. These are the ideas that I value and the ones that I feel are important to aspire to for me.
Because that's the difference between a virtue and a suggestion. You not having these traits doesn't make you a bad atheist. It just means you don't see the same things that I value as important

By H. Frederick Dylla, Executive Director & CEO
Every scientist likes to think his or her work is important for advancing human knowledge and would like to broadly communicate the results, to perhaps unlock related discoveries or catalyze new collaborations. And, if the communication is cast in language the general public can understand, it helps generate appreciation of science and support for public funding of scientific research.
Mainstream media's reach can be sobering for any scientist. A class lecture might reach anywhere from a dozen people for a seminar, to hundreds for a large survey course. Special lectures typical of scientific meetings might reach the same size audience, whereas a plenary lecture, reserved only for scientists who achieve world-class scientific breakthroughs, may reach a few thousand. Scientific journal articles have a similar reach, although online access is increasing that reach significantly. With the exception of rare instances when some viral explosion of a website or YouTube clip exceeds the potential millions of viewers of television, broadcast journalism is the most successful mechanism for broadly distributing science information.
A science documentary broadcast on PBS's NOVA series is typically seen by more than 10 million viewers in its debut broadcast. The web version allows a long tail of subsequent views and referrals for classroom use, which can reach tens of thousands more. However, this exponential leap in reach requires massive effort and dedication, as demonstrated by the production of the 2008 NOVA broadcast of Absolute Zero. Absolute Zero began as hopeful conversations in the mid-1990s between a distinguished low-temperature physicist, Russell Donnelly from the University of Oregon, and his neighbor, Meredith Burch of Meridian Productions. The project would be based on a book by Tom Shachtman on the history of science and technology of low temperatures—from our practical need for refrigeration to the Nobel Prize winning research to make Bose Einstein condensates in laboratory settings with temperatures reaching a tiny fraction of a degree above absolute zero (-273 °C).
As executive producer, Burch enlisted David Dugan of Windfall Films, a talented writer, director, and producer of broadcast documentaries. Together, the team spent some seven years making the film, which included soliciting a grant from the NSF and finding additional funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, eventually raising more than $2 million to produce and promote the award-winning piece. In 2008, Absolute Zero was broadcast on WGBH/NOVA in association with TPT/Twin Cities Public Television. This 15-year venture is a testament to the dedication of the production team in getting the message out. The efforts have educated millions of viewers. Key portions of the production are available through the NOVA website; thousands of Society of Physics Students members continue to use the DVD version for classroom and outreach exercises.
AIP is pleased to award its 2009 Science Broadcast Award to Tom Shachtman and David Dugan on behalf of their full production team at a ceremony at last week's AAPT/APS meeting in Washington. See the AIP press release for more details.
AIP also honored another gifted communicator, Dan Falk, with the 2009 Science Writing Award for his feature article "End of Days: A Universe in Ruins," which was published in COSMOS magazine in 2008. The article is expertly written and incorporates both astrophysics and cosmology in the examination of the long-term fate of our solar system, the universe, and life itself. The article's teaser: "When will the universe end? And will the ultimate apocalypse arrive with a bang, or a whimper? A look into the far, far future - to the day the cosmos decays into a frozen, featureless void." It's prose like this that instantly intrigues readers and compels them to keep reading. The science community needs such individuals to get the message out to the public and share the wonders that can only be answered—if not today then someday—by science.
AIP UniPHY—our pioneering scientific social and professional networking platform—was awarded the prestigious PROSE Award in the eProduct category, Best in Physical Sciences and Mathematics. Selected by the Professional/Scholarly Publishing (PSP) division of the Association of American Publishers, the PROSE Awards annually recognize the very best in professional and scholarly publishing. The 2009 PROSE Awards were presented in early February during a luncheon at the 2010 PSP annual conference in Washington, DC. Titled "The New Reality: Disruption, Innovation, Relevance," this year's PSP conference was the perfect setting to highlight the innovations brought to our community of researchers by AIP UniPHY. Since its launch, AIP UniPHY has amassed 20,000 registered users and continues to receive press and positive feedback. AIP UniPHY contains a new graphical interface and enhanced functionality, such as a new CV section where you can display your professional profiles and research interests, a method for you to recommend articles to other members, and a "people you might know" feature, which lists researchers who have collaborated with one's co-authors. Visit AIP UniPHY to find out more about this award-winning service.
AIP's Center for History of Physics proudly announces its newest online history of physics exhibit: Bright Idea: The First Lasers. With this exhibit, we celebrate those first few years of laser development, without which there would be no LaserFest! Former History Center director Spencer Weart is responsible for the content, and web specialist Ada Uzoma is credited for its design. This exhibit provides the model for future, small, historical exhibits. We anticipate opening an exhibit later this year—Physics at the Edge of Space: Early Exploration of the Magnetosphere—and another in 2011 commemorating the legacy of Sir Ernest Rutherford. You may remember Rutherford's announcement of the nuclear model of the atom in 1911. Refer to the "Rubies and lasers in the summer of 1960" article by center director Greg Good in the January 25, 2010, edition of AIP Matters for more insights on the beginnings of the laser.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science honored a new class of fellows at its 2010 annual meeting in San Diego, CA. Fred Dylla, AIP executive director and CEO, was among those elected by their peers for meritorious efforts to advance science or its applications. Two AIP Governing Board members—Kevin Marvel, executive officer of AAS, and Joe Serene, treasurer and publisher of APS—and Francis Slakey, APS associate director of public affairs were also among those honored.
AIP congratulates Fred, Kevin, Joe, and Slake for this well-deserved recognition!

NEW YORK (AP) — Soda makers, restaurateurs and other businesses sued Friday to try to block the city's unprecedented move to restrict sales of super-sized, sugary drinks, an effort the city called a coup for public health but the industry views as unfair and undemocratic.
"For the first time, they're telling New Yorkers how much of certain safe and lawful beverages they can drink," said Caroline Starke, a spokeswoman for the business groups, whose complaint also faults the city for making the decision through an unelected board. The groups include the American Beverage Association, the National Restaurant Association, a soft drink workers union and groups representing interests ranging from movie theater owners to Korean-American grocers.
A spokesman for Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the regulation's chief champion, called the lawsuit a groundless effort to stop a groundbreaking policy.
"This predictable, yet baseless, lawsuit fortunately will help put an even greater spotlight on the obesity epidemic," said the spokesman, Marc LaVorgna, who noted that the city also won fights over outlawing smoking in bars and offices and forcing fast-food restaurants to list calorie counts on their menus.
The beverage industry hinted it was considering a suit as soon as the city Board of Health approved the regulation last month. The rule would stop restaurants, cafeterias and concession stands from selling soda and other high-calorie drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces. It's set to take effect in March.
Bloomberg has called it a reasonable way to fight an obesity problem that takes a toll on many New Yorkers' health and city hospitals' budgets.
The measure keeps people from drinking extra calories without thinking, he says. For someone who drinks a soda every day, for example, downing a 16-ounce Coke instead of a 20-ounce one trims 14,600 calories a year, or the equivalent of 70 Hershey bars.
"Nobody is banning anything," the mayor said when the plan passed, noting that someone who wanted a second soda could get one.
The soda makers and sellers say the city is being a nanny-like nag to consumers and imposing an unfair, uneven burden on businesses. Manufacturers will have to get new bottles, and eateries will lose sales to competitors that aren't covered by the rule, they say. A customer who couldn't buy a 20-ounce soda at a pizzeria would be able to get a Big Gulp at a 7-Eleven, for instance, as convenience stores are under different regulations.
"(The rule) unfairly harms small businesses at a time when we can ill afford it," the suit says.
It also says the Bloomberg-appointed health board shouldn't dictate the size of soft drinks. Ten City Council members signed onto a July measure calling on the health board not to approve the rule; a New York Times poll in August showed that six in 10 New Yorkers opposed it.
The city says the board, made up of physicians and other health experts, is exactly the panel to make such decisions. It has held sway over matters ranging from milk inspection in the 1870s to banning lead paint in 1960, the city notes.

Virtual SOTU with Bill Whittle
ht/ dr. tar
» 7 Comments
Mr. Whittle's commentary coupled with congress as agitprop is incredibly apropos.
Our freedoms and lifestyles are rapidly being overrun and destroyed by a virtual lunatic asylum that is still called Congress.
These rich, arrogant, sociopaths all consider themselves worldly wise and above the law.+7
I submit this video to everyone reading that while he denies he has the disposition to become President, Bill Whittle has greater understanding of the Constitution than nearly the entire audience in that room.
Bill Whittle – 2016+7
Great, great piece of work. Whittle is passionate, articulate and spot on with his understanding of the human condition.
All of the politicians shown in the audience shots may just as well have been thinking, "don't confuse me with facts".+4
Wish some savvy conservative that had the bucks would pay for this to rebutt the SOTU on television.
Does no service with only a million views. This needs over 180 million views.+5
The wheels of registration and confiscation are already in progress with or without the approval of congress. So now what? Other than a few blogs where are the chicken-shit public conservative voices calling for disobedience?+2
I agree with Mr. Pinko. It's only 7 minutes, but it's dynamite!
That was by far the best SOTU address I've ever seen.
Bill Whittle for Virtual President!
98,000 people are killed every year by "medical errors"?
Doesn't that just make ya feel all warm and fuzzy?0
Why don't the american people put these type of people in office instead of the dimwits we have now?0

The Tuning Fork Set includes 5 sensual forks made for the most pleasurable experience. These look like ordinary tuning forks, but instead of tuning an instrument, they are used for erotic pleasure. Use them to spread vibrations to your most sensitive spots.
Simply bang your hand and they will vibrate against the skin, sending pleasure waves. Use them to "tune" your intimate spots or make erotic experiences more pleasurable for your partner. Ideal for people with genital piercings and intimate jewelry! Simply touch your jewelry with a vibrating fork to truly experience deep sensations. Even non-pierced people can use these forks to enhance their sexual pleasure!
There are 5 forks in the set, so they provide many different vibrating frequencies made for different sensations. The kit also includes 2 sets of adjustable weights.
These tuning forks are custom made, with a rough low polish finish.
Customer Reviews
- Huh? Review by tcnola
The prospect of using the tuning forks with body piercings and sounds was pretty exciting. But did anybody really try it? The instant you touch a fork to a piercing, it immediately cease vibrating and becomes inert. I mean, it STOPS. So there's no transfer of the vibrations in the least. A complete failure.

D isney Infinity is an upcoming video game from Disney Interactive Studios.
The game is set to be released on August 18, 2013 in North America and August 20, 2013 in Europe
Disney Infinity involves using real-life figures and scanning them in order to use the characters in-game. The origins of how Disney infinity came from the idea on developing a potential tie-in game to Pixar's Toy Story 3, say.
While coming up with various ideas on they realized rather than making a game that followed the events of the story, they focused on the possibility of playing with the Toy Story characters ,like playing with actual toys. Different characters had different abilities, and tests revealed that children play testing the game would learn how to use the abilities together in emergent, evolving gameplay.
Activision's vice president of consumer marketing, John Coyne, told in an interview We are thrilled by the incredible success that the Skylanders franchise has had in such a short period of time, "We are also flattered that one of the leading family entertainment companies is joining our toys to life category. We continue to focus on delivering innovative and immersive entertainment experiences to kids around the world and are pouring more creativity into our games. As a result we are well positioned to continue leading the category." [reference]
The game expands upon the idea that basing the game around the idea of imagination and interaction between the various Disney intellectual properties that include Cars pal around with Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean who can be visited by Mr. Incredible[reference]
There is no set story per-se but players will take on the role of a variety of popular characters Here are some of the names of the characters that will make an appearance in Disney infinity.

Jack Skellington-is the tall, skeletal ruler of Halloween Town. He's hospitable, but his repetitive life causes him to do things he doesn't quite understand, just for variety.
Jack Sparrow-The main character of Pirates of the Caribbean.
Jessie-Jessie is one of Woody's best friends & Buzz's girlfriend
Joshamee Gibbs-Often refered to as Master Gibbs. He is Jack Sparrows right-hand man.

The player can place their Disney Infinity Figures onto the Disney Infinity Base to jump into the game and make them come alive in it have adventures. There are two main modes in the game, Play Set and Toy Box.
Play Set Mode has Disney Infinity Play sets of films. The player takes control of characters and plays as them in original adventures in different worlds. The player can battle enemies, complete a variety of other unique quests while solve puzzles, overcomes obstacles. Each play set is essentially a world in itself, and is based on a specific movie or series with recognizable characters, game plays, and storylines. Characters from one world cannot enter into another world, but players can put any character together in Toy Box Mode.
While Toy Box Mode allows the player to create their own world and stories, similar to Toy Box Mode in Toy Story 3: The Video Game. It will allow the player to mix characters from different franchises.
The game has a two-player mode, though four players can play online. The player can also add new Disney Infinity Figures, or also use Disney Infinity Power Discs to unlock character powers, gadgets and new ways to customize their world.
In summing up what exactly is Disney Infinity gameplay : There is one part of the game that is driven by missions and the desire to unlock new items: and another part Garry's Mod, the sandbox
Physics game that offers a breadth of creative possibility and finally where you can exercise your creativity through design (aesthetic or play environments), programming (a whole host of basic logic programming space) or in collaboration with others (up to four players can play at once through a two-player split screen that can also connect to two others over wifi.

Finding Beauty in an Ashtray
"What is it?" asked my cabin leader, gently. We both eyed my clay creation as it emerged from the camp kiln, glazed and cooled. I was 12, so I hadn't made a something; I'd made an anything. It had just been fun to pinch and push the clay for our hour-long arts-and-crafts period. Now came the hard part: I needed to identify my project. "Hmm…" I thought out loud. Finally, my cabin leader said confidently, "Oh, I see. It's an ashtray." And there it was. The … Continue reading
My Three Favorite Things to Do with a 3×5 Index Card
This time of year, I use a lot of 3×5 index cards to prop up the legs on LCD projectors. In the past, I've used them to shim stair treads, prop doors open, jot to-do lists and outline articles. The humble cardstock rectangle can also serve some powerful educational functions, three of which I'd like to share with you in today's Week-Ender. #1 The Bunk Nametag The infamous Name Game has many variations, all designed to increase familiarity among campers … Continue reading
Saving Face in a Bold-faced Lie
Kids lie all the time. Grown-ups do, too, in big and small ways. Sometimes we lie to be polite, as in: "That looks fabulous!" or "This is delicious!" Perhaps protecting someone else's feelings makes lying permissible, but lying to protect ourselves often leads to trouble. So in our work with children, how should we respond to the inevitable lying that occurs? How can we raise truthful youth? "I didn't do it!" is probably the most common lie youngsters tell. Or, in … Continue reading
Standing Out
My 9-year-old son, Sava, took a field trip to the State House in Concord, New Hampshire, with his class on Monday. Like any good parent, I asked him what he learned. "I'm the only kid without a smartphone" was his reply. Interesting civics lesson. Sava went on to describe the one-hour bus ride from Exeter to the state capital. "Everyone pulled out their smartphones and started playing games. All I had was the iPod Shuffle that Grandma gave me." (What … Continue reading
A Healthy Lead
Staff members are usually on top of their game until they start treating their job like one. Once young people lose sight of the importance of caring for other people's children, taking unhealthy risks increases. By contrast, if they rest playful leadership on the three-legged stool of sleep, exercise, and nutritional food, their resilience and stamina also increase. Ask Not What Your Camp Can Do for You Does this sound idealistic? Do you wonder where on earth you might find … Continue reading

One More Thing The Internet Could Disrupt – Car Ownership and Sales
Here we go – I'm back on this blog after a long hiatus.
And it's Fred again (he's good at this) – with this post – making me share a "vision" I had a few days ago. The idea is probably in the heads of other people for some time already without me knowing (see Fred's comment under my comment). Fred's post was inspired by Seth Godin.
And I should say – I am constantly inspired by Umair Haque.
Here is what I posted as a comment on Fred's post:
"How about transforming the car ownership into an investment type of thing.
Think of Zipcar – but without the centralized ownership of the cars.
Think of an Internet platform (could be open source… or even at the level of a protocol may be) which supports the data and logic for such a distributed environment.
Imagine the effects of a dynamic price competition for a short term leased transportation… not to speak of the long term disruption of the car sales market… not to speak of all the "green" goodness coming out of it.
The hardware could be developed and sold by any vendor.
Please, whoever starts doind this – give me a credit… :)"
In fact, Zipcar could open up their platform – and become the Goggle/AdSense of cars. Scott Griffith, do you read my blog.

Google, Flickr, Exalead, More: Morning Buzz, July 5, 2012
Hey, have you seen Flickr's new maps?
If you did not get enough July 4 yesterday, here's a roundup of sites for researching Revolutionary War genealogy.
And in our d'awwwwww department: Using Google Hangout as a puppy cam.
Wired takes a long look at Google Compute Engine.
Also Google: a crisis map of the 2012 US wildfire season.
Snarkariffic from TechCrunch: Remember When Google Was A Search Engine?. Just barely, hon. And speaking as someone who's been watching all this silliness since 1994, Google is going down the same road as AltaVista, only with better special effects. What may save it is the fact that AltaVista only had eggs in a few baskets. Google: lots of eggs, lots of baskets, lots of money, probably too big and too critical to the social and actual infrastructure of the Internet to fail. That doesn't mean that it can't diminish. That having been said, I'm thrilled that Google does things that end up being huge failures. What's the point of having a market cap of over 190 billion dollars if you don't have the pinwheels to occasionally try ridiculous stuff? It's the overfocus on advertising, and the cramming of ads into search results, that I object to…
Oooh! Stephen Arnold looks at Exalead two years after the sale. Strangely, this made me think, "I wonder what happened to Northern Light?" and then I got all depressed…
Useful too: find and sort Gmail e-mails by file size. You have to let an external resource access your account, which makes me rather skeevy, but you could change your password right afterwards. Good morning, Internet…

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Home-ownership is the American Dream. In the third installment of our series "A Tale of Two Cities," NY1's Erin Clarke introduces us to a family successfully living out that dream in a part of the borough with a troubled past—a place where many still don't believe it's possible.
Luis Rodriguez grew up in the Bronx of the 70s—when it was burning. "It was tough times. There was, you know the streets were always, there was always fighting. [[butt]] We had abandoned buildings. We had everything, empty lots," says Rodriguez.
Despite that, he chose to stay, buying this house on 159th Street in Melrose.
Luis, his wife, Carmen, and their four children live here.
They're a family who is part of the new Bronx—a borough going through a revitalization with the help of development and investment, especially in places like the South Bronx. "I like the Bronx and I like how everything is looking," says Carmen Rodriguez.
"I don't see why there's a lot of negativity in the Bronx, because um, honestly, like, every time I'm outside, sometimes I'm outside late and nothing at all happens to me. I come home safe," says Luis' son, Brandon.
But don't be fooled, life isn't a cake walk for the Rodriguezes.
Before they moved into the house seven years ago Luis, Carmen and baby Brandon lived in a tiny apartment.
"In our bedroom, there was only a queen sized bed and Brandon's crib. That's it. And once you stepped inside, you had to step on top of the bed—there was no more space." They upgraded, but a one bedroom wasn't enough for the growing family.So when the opportunity for this home presented itself, the Rodriguezes did everything in their power to get it.
"I work as a doorman, so I took a second job for the summer as a doorman as well. So I used to work four to twelve, so on the other job, I used to work from like, maybe, six til maybe three. I didn't have a day off," Luis Rodriquez says.
Carmen wasn't working at the time, but the couple managed to pull together $10,000 to purchase the $450,000 three-floor home.
Now Carmen has a job as a medical receptionist, making $14 an hour.
Luis is back to working one job at $22 an hour and they're on top of their $2,300 a month mortgage, but they need help.
"We also have a second apartment in the house, which is we rent," Carmen Rodriguez says. "You have to have a income coming in that it has nothing to do with your job. Why? Because it happened—I lost my job once before and that at least covers what is not coming in."
With a lot of hard work and sacrifice, the Rodriguezes are making it happen.
None of the kids work to help out.
Mom and Dad won't allow it.
"They're full time students. They work very hard, so I don't push them too much about the job situation," Carmen Rodriguez says.
Education, Carmen says, is most important.
She's even taking phlebotomy classes now—another expense, but one this family knows is well worth it to ultimately live the American Dream.

My other hobbies

My other hobbies
November 2nd, 2006, 21:37
Another expensive and sometimes embarrassing hobby I have is target shooting. Living in IL makes it tough to find people and places that are accepting of such a hobby but nevertheless it's still a blast, heh, oh boy. I'm a huge 1911 fan but partial to the .22lr cartridge since it's so damn cheap. I'm looking for a conversion kit for my blued Kimber Custom II to complete my very small collection. At the moment I own a Kimber Custom II .45 ACP, a beautifully customized Springfield 1911-A1 9mm stainless, and a scoped .22lr Ruger 77/22 - RP. I'm a sucker for bolt action rifles. I'm a great shot at 25 feet with a light trigger, but at 50 and beyond well… let's just say I won't be winning any competitions anytime soon. The rifle is a tack-driver so a true measure of skill will take place at a range beyond 75 feet with really small targets; something which I have yet to do. I'm not into home defense or concealed carry debates since the guns I own are for recreation only. It's a lot of fun and I would recommend that everyone try it at least once in their life. It's not for just hill-billies, gang bangers, cops, freaks, and murders. If used responsibly and respectfully the worst that will happen is a small burn from an ejected cartridge, something that happened to me only once and didn't even hurt. Is anyone else here into target shooting? If so what do you have?
