Vocational Education At Risk Because of Focus on College
Filed under: In The News, Education: Teens
Despite that, the Boston Globe reports funding for vocational education in the United States is in serious peril.
Saying he wants America to produce the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020, President Barack Obama is focused on raising overall academic standards and college graduation rates. However, the Globe reports, that comes at the expense of vocational education.
The administration proposes cutting federal vocational training grants to public high schools and community colleges. Overall, according to the newspaper, Obama proposes a 20 percent reduction in his fiscal 2012 budget for career and technical education (to a little more than $1 billion) even as he seeks to increase overall education funding by 11 percent.
The Globe reports the only alternative to public schools for vocational education is profit-making colleges and trade schools. However, they're often criticized for sending students deeply into debt without improving their job prospects.
Despite the president's high hopes, fewer than a third of all 25- to 29-year-olds in the United States earned a bachelor's degree or higher last year.
The value of vocational training for young people who do not attend college should not be overlooked, William Symonds, director of the Pathways to Prosperity Project at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, tells the Globe.
Vocational education "can prepare you for jobs in which you're going to earn a very solid middle-class income," he says.
"That's not to say that you're going to be a hedge fund manager making millions a year, but you will prepare for jobs that will pay more than a living wage," he adds.

As it is, there is already way, way too much emphasis on college. Some people are simply not suited for college for any number of reasons. I was one of them.
These people will still need a way to make a living, and they need vocational training to do it. If anything, there needs to be MORE vocational training, not less.

Google Glass, the tech giant's high tech glasses, are already being spotted on testers across the country with expectations it will hit the market by the end of the year. NY1's Adam Balkin filed the following report.
Perhaps they're the most talked about pair of glasses in history but do you actually know what Google Glass high-tech glasses actually do? Well, you're about to find out. There's a camera up top, bone conducting speakers by the ears, accelerometer inside, a touch sensitive panel on the side for controlling certain functions, and of course a microphone for controlling some others since Glass is almost entirely driven via your voice.
The answers to everything you ask Glass to via a Google search appear in the upper right hand corner of your natural sightline -- i.e. hands free measurement conversions while cooking, or instant language translations in your ear. But the big wow app at the moment is probably navigation. Arrows in front of your face show you where to go based on where you're looking. But are glasses really more convenient for all that stuff than a look down at your phone? Well, yes, according to Mia Choi, a Google Glass Explorer -- one of just 8,000 people chosen to test out Glass, before plopping down $1,500 bucks for a pair.
"In my business running an event company you're supposed to know everything at the drop of a hat, how far it is to get from point A to B. It keeps me from doing this and this to up here and in the world," says Choi.
Now, because at the moment so few people know exactly what Glass does, it can be a little unnerving if someone with a pair of these on walks up to you. You don't know what's happening on their end so Google has built in a few features so that you as the non-users know when the user is using it. For starters, when it's on, a light indicates so.
Also, again, it's voice activated so someone would need to say, for example, 'Okay Glass, take a picture,' which you'd likely hear. Still, Glass has come with its share of controversy, among other things privacy advocates worry about facial recognition apps which Google says it will not create nor support, though there's still concern hackers will find ways to use the device outside of Google's control.
As for when you will get a shot at trying and buying a pair, Google intends to have Glass on shelves by the end of this year.

The spring home of the Chicago Cubs now belongs to Mesa. The City Council on Thursday decided to pay off a $9.7 million loan to renovate Hohokam Stadium eight years early, a financial move that frees up cash flow and positions the city better when it comes time to renegotiate with the Cubs, officials said.
The debt was structured so payments would increase this year, but now the city will have about $2 million a year in cash, said Mayor Scott Smith.
The loan was to rebuild the ballparkin Fitch Park on Center Street between Brown and McKellips roads in 1996.
The city was able to get the money to pay off the loan from a surplus in the enterprise fund, which is composed of five major utilities.
"We will be able to borrow money from one fund to another and pay it off," Smith said.
Robert Brinton, vice president of the Cactus League and executive director of the Mesa Convention and Visitor's Bureau, said he believes the financial decision will benefit the city when the Cubs' contract expires in 2016.
However, the Cubs, who have the highest spring training attendance, have an option to opt out in 2011 and are up for sale.
The sale is supposed to go through at the end of the season.
Keeping the Cubs happy will probably mean renovating the stadium and it would not have been good to spend more with the debt remaining, Brinton said.
"I think it's a better situation if you say this stadium is already paid off, now here's what we're going to do to renovate it," Brinton said.

Gold, Silver Prices Extend Losses
NEW YORK ( TheStreet ) -- Gold and silver prices extended their painful selloff as the metals were unable to find support and traders dumped positions.
Gold for June delivery lost $25.10 to settle off its session lows at $1,515.30 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The gold price traded in a broad range between $1,543.50 and $1,505.50 Wednesday. The spot gold price was tanking $19, according to Kitco's gold index. Gold prices are still a long way off from $1,439, the spot price before April's monster rally.
Silver prices lost $3.19 to close $39.38, almost wiping out April's gains and off 26% from recent highs. The U.S. dollar index was losing 0.15% to $73.01 but had reversed steeper losses after the services sector contracted in April.
A volatile U.S. dollar and news of an official $116 billion bailout of Portugal weren't enough to buoy gold and silver. Both metals tried to find support levels in early trading but momentum selling dragged them lower.
Silver has led the charge down by oversold conditions and three margin hikes by the CME as the futures market tried to handle the volatility. "The reason why the exchanges and clearing houses are raising their rates is because of these violent moves we have been having in silver, anywhere from 5-10% moves on a daily overnight basis," says Anthony Neglia, president of Tower Trading, who says the hikes are not affecting his silver positions. Neglia likes silver above $42 and still believes with metal will hit $50, but that below $40 he would get bearish. He said, "$38 is your next level because that is where this whole move started from." There is some speculation that such a steep slide towards that level could ignite some tentative bargain hunting. Gold, on the other hand, is a deeper and more liquid market, which makes it able to absorb volatility better, down only 4% from its record intra-day high of $1,577 an ounce. Mihir Dange, trader at Arbitrage, thinks that margin hikes won't hit the gold market.

Mol Nyrt. (MOL), Hungary's largest refiner and operator of Croatia's INA Industrija Nafte d.d., plans to boost its spending to $191 million this year on exploration and field development in Croatia, up from $34 million in 2011.
Mol's program in Croatia includes drilling seven exploration wells and five production wells, as well as enhancing oil recovery at existing facilities, the Budapest- based company said today in an e-mailed statement.
Both Mol and its largest subsidiary, INA, posted a loss in the fourth quarter, after violence in Syria hurt the output at INA's crude oil and gas facilities in the Middle Eastern country. INA on Feb. 27 announced it is pulling out of Syria, following the Croatian government's decision to abide by a European embargo on Syria.
Mol's investment plan for Croatia also includes an estimated $37 million for research and production in Syria, the company said, adding the implementation "will depend on whether and when INA will be able to resume works."
The Hungarian refiner, which secured controlling rights of INA in the 2009 shareholding agreement, owns 47.47 percent of the company, with an option to buy another 1.6 percent. The Croatian government holds 44.84 percent.

"For $250 up to 20 girls learn a routine with an instructor, have champagne and make it a fun night," she says.
Teaching Burlesque classes at Addiction is instructor Larke Hasstedt, a professional burlesque dancer who performs at clubs in L.A.
Hasstedt was a former client of Woodall's when she was representing dancers, and was a hair client too.
Woodall says women in the Burlesque classes learn seductive movements, use props and discover the techniques of striptease – all while getting in great shape.
She said she's found a niche market with beauty and fitness and serves a customer base of women between the ages of 21 and 65 years old.
"We really try to target everyone that is why I put so many avenues of this business under one roof," she tells me.
Woodall has seven stylists, one esthetician, two make-up artists, a lash extension expert and a gal specializing in eyebrows who mentored under world renowned Anastasia of Beverly hills for eight years.
Addiction has been open a month, but Woodall is having her official grand opening Saturday.
Being a former hairdresser myself, I loved the vibe in her salon.
It's not like any other I've seen in Orange County, and certainly has more of an L.A. feel to it.
Maybe if something like this had existed when I was doing hair in my early 20's who knows where I'd be...probably on a pole somewhere with great hair.

Medal record
Kieren John Perkins OAM (born 14 August 1973) is an Australian former competition swimmer. One of the world's best-ever long-distance swimmers, he won two Olympic gold medals in 1992 and 1996 in the 1500-metre freestyle, and a silver medal in 2000.
Early life[edit]
Perkins was born in Brisbane, Australia. He attended Indooroopilly State Primary School and graduated from Brisbane Boys' College in the inner city suburb of Toowong.
He began swimming regularly at age eight as part of his rehabilitation from a serious leg injury incurred after running through a plate glass window. At age 13 his potential became obvious, and with coach John Carew guiding him he won his first medal at the Australian Championships in Melbourne in 1989, before going on to claim the Silver Medal in the 1500 metre freestyle at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand. It was here that Perkins emerged as a future star by finishing behind fellow Queenslander Glen Housman. Both Houseman (14:55.25) and Perkins (14:58.08) were the only swimmers to break 15 minutes. Fellow Australian Michael McKenzie completed the Green and Gold medal trifecta by claiming the Bronze with a time of 15:09.25. It was the first time Perkins had recorded a sub-fifteen-minute 1500 metres.
After the Commonwealth Games, Perkins' career took off. He was clear favourite to win the 1500m at the 1991 World Aquatics Championships in Perth, but was sensationally beaten in the final by just 0.22 seconds by German Jörg Hoffmann who set a new World Record time of 14:50.36 to beat Russian Vladimir Salnikov's eight year old record (Salnikov's record had actually been broken by Glen Housman at the 1990 Australian Championships in Adelaide, although a malfunction with the electronic timer saw the new record time disallowed).
By 1992 Perkins dominated the 1500m event, lowering Hoffmann's World Record in Sydney with a time of 14:48.40. He dominated the event at the Barcelona Olympic games, lowering his record by 5 seconds to 14:43.48 (Housman claimed the Silver with Hoffman relegated to the Bronze). He was also the world record holder in the 400m freestyle, but this was broken by the Russian Yevgeny Sadovyi in Barcelona who relegated Perkins to the Silver medal.
At the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Canada, Perkins broke the 400m, 800m, and 1500m freestyle world records (lowering his 1500 mark to 14:41.66). The 800m record was broken while swimming the 1500m event meaning he broke two records in the one race (the 800m was not actually an event at the games). The 400m record stood until it was broken by fellow Australian Ian Thorpe in 1999, and the 800m and 1500m records until 2001 when broken by Thorpe and Grant Hackett respectively. His performances in that year earned him the Male World Swimmer of the Year award from the Swimming World magazine.
At the time of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Perkins was out of form and long-time Australian rival Daniel Kowalski was regarded as the favourite. In fact he almost failed to make the Australian team, such was his poor form. He qualified for the 1500 metre freestyle final by a mere 0.24 seconds to be the slowest of the top 8 qualifiers, and it was later revealed that before the race he felt unwell and considered not swimming. From lane eight, Perkins dominated the race being the only swimmer to go under 15 minutes (14:56.40), again relegating Kowalski, who had to fight all the way and just held off Great Britain's Graeme Smith, to his perennial bridesmaid position. Despite being world record holder, he failed to qualify for the 400m freestyle in April, finishing third at the Australian Championships.
After his Atlanta triumph, some commentators were surprised when Perkins decided to continue competing, particularly as the rise of Grant Hackett, another Australian distance swimmer, made it seem unlikely that Perkins could win again. However, the lure of a home Olympics was too much for Perkins. Hackett completed his rise to the top by beating Perkins, who took the silver medal in a respectable time of under 15 minutes.
During the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Canada, Perkins was nearly sent home in disgrace after he fired an air pistol inside the athletes' village. The head coach at the time wanted to send him home, but Australian team boss Arthur Tunstall intervened and he was subsequently allowed to stay.
In 2004, Perkins courted controversy when he stated that he felt the public's pressure for Craig Stevens to give up his spot in order to reinstate defending 400m champion Ian Thorpe to the event after being disqualified was "disgusting".[1]
In the Australia Day Honours of 1992, Perkins was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM). He is an Australian Living Treasure. He was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 2002.[2]
In 2009 Perkins was inducted into the Queensland Sport Hall of Fame.[3]
Post swim career[edit]
Perkins has always presented a clean-cut, well-spoken image to the public. Since his retirement, he has occasionally worked in the broadcast media and is currently Head of Business Development and Acquisitions at NAB Private Wealth.[4] He is a current board member of Swimming Australia.
Personal life[edit]
He married in 1997 and has three children, Harry, Georgia and Charlie, with wife Symantha. The couple received condolences from a number of people in sports broadcasting after suffering "three miscarriages before having their third child [Charlie], and Symantha underwent radical surgery [in 2007] to combat severe migraines." Symantha has since recovered her health.[5]
In June 2012 he announced he and Symantha had separated.[6] In a May 2014 episode of Australian Story, Perkins announced he would marry partner Karen Davis in Europe in 2014.[7]

1 month ago I decided to begin retin-a for non-inflamed comedones and anti-aging. Now I incoorporate Retin-A 0.1% in the evening, sunscreen, an AHA and BHA moisturizer and occasionally my clarisonic. Even as a teenager while I was on accutane for severe cystic acne (on my chin, nose and forehead), I had never experienced even a single small pimple on my cheek in my whole life. it is not part of the rest of my routine as I have used those products for a year and they improved my acne greatly.

Wow! I can't believe five years ago we opened up Rising Sun Holistic Choices. It has grown beyond my expectations and it is now time for us to move to a larger location.
When we opened we only had a couple practitioners, we now have 18 practitioners offering a variety of holistic services. Our new location will provide us nine treatment rooms instead of two, a classroom, retail space and a Himalayan salt room. We are in the process of remodeling the location and hope to be open sometime in December 2014.
Thank you for your continued support and being a part of this journey, we hope to see you at our new location!
Love and light,

Health 101: Stress and Fertility
How can I reduce stress related to infertility?
Anything that helps you relax and unwind -- catching up on the latest celeb tabloids over a pedicure, meeting your best friends for brunch and shopping -- is certainly a step in the right direction. But certain tricks are especially beneficial for women dealing with trying-to-conceive-related stress, says Robert A. Greene, MD, coauthor of Perfect Hormone Balance for Fertility.
- Strike a warrior pose. "If you're not the type to sit and meditate for an hour every day, yoga may be the next best thing," says Dr. Greene, who recommends hatha yoga, a style that focuses on breathing and movement without concentrating directly on meditation. Taking a yoga class or popping in a DVD a couple of times a week can have a huge impact on lowering stress hormone levels that can mess with fertility.
- Conk out earlier. Interesting fact: More than 80 percent of women ovulate between midnight and 8 a.m., so getting too little sleep -- and the hormonal imbalances this causes -- can have a surprising impact on conception. Sleep is super-regenerative and gives your body a chance to relax and recover from a taxing day. While sleep needs vary from person to person, if you tend to wake up and still feel tired, or feel like you're running on empty as the day drags on, chances are you're not getting enough.
- Have sex -- but not the babymaking kind. As fertility-related stress takes its toll on you and your partner, it's common for your sex life to start feeling more like a science project. Do it when you're not ovulating -- just for the fun and intimacy.
- Do this 10-minute stress Rx. Called progressive muscle relaxation, this exercise involves tightening and relaxing every part of your body from head to toe. Furrow your forehead for five seconds, then relax your face for five seconds. Then wrinkle your nose for five seconds, and relax it for five seconds. Do the same with your jaw, and so on, for 10 minutes, or more if you have time. "This helps you to physically feel what your body is like when it's tense versus when it's relaxed," says Dr. Domar.
- Scribble it down. Dr. Greene is a big fan of journaling to zap stress. "Putting your worries on paper is one of the best ways to get perspective and feel like you're more in control of your problems," he says. Writing in a journal regularly, even for just a few minutes a day, can help you feel more positive and less anxious about whatever's bothering you.
- Talk to a pro. If you still feel like you can't get your stress in check, or tend to be prone to extended bouts of anxiety or feelings of hopelessness, sadness, or total ambivalence that won't go away, consider seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist who is experienced with infertility patients. Find one through asrm.org. Getting your emotional health on track is a must for a healthy pregnancy and beyond.

The Lead
"Mirage Earth" exoplanets may have burned away chances for lifeDecember 3, 2014 11:21 am | by Peter Kelley, News and Information, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
Planets orbiting close to low-mass stars are prime targets in the search for extraterrestrial life. But new research led by an astronomy graduate student at the Univ. of Washington indicates some such planets may have long since lost their chance at hosting life because of intense heat during their formative years.

Smartphone app can detect newborn jaundice in minutesAugust 27, 2014 11:40 am | by Michelle Ma, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
Newborn jaundice: It's one of the last things a parent wants to deal with, but it's unfortunately a common condition in babies less than a week old. Skin that turns yellow can be a sure sign that a newborn is jaundiced and isn't adequately eliminating the chemical bilirubin. But that discoloration is sometimes hard to see. Researchers have developed a smartphone application that checks for jaundice in newborns.
Scientists craft atomically seamless, thinnest-possible semiconductor junctionsAugust 26, 2014 4:13 pm | by Michelle Ma, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
Univ. of Washington researchers have developed what they believe is the thinnest-possible semiconductor, a new class of nanoscale materials made in sheets only three atoms thick. They have demonstrated that two of these single-layer semiconductor materials can be connected in an atomically seamless fashion known as a heterojunction. This result could be the basis for next-generation flexible and transparent computing.
Cause of global warming hiatus found deep in Atlantic OceanAugust 22, 2014 9:34 am | by Hannah Hickey, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
Following rapid warming in the late 20th century, this century has so far seen surprisingly little increase in the average temperature at the Earth's surface. At first this was a blip, then a trend, then a puzzle for the climate science community. More than a dozen theories have now been proposed for the so-called global warming hiatus, ranging from air pollution to volcanoes to sunspots.
Univ. of Washington project becomes focal point in hunt for dark matterAugust 21, 2014 8:47 am | by Vince Stricherz, News and Information, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
Three major experiments aimed at detecting elusive dark matter particles believed to make up most of the matter in the universe have gotten a financial shot in the arm. Two of the projects are at large national laboratories; the other is at the Univ. of Washington (UW). The selection will bring greater intensity to the UW research, with more equipment and scientists involved in the work.
Snow has thinned on Arctic sea iceAugust 13, 2014 11:30 am | by Hannah Hickey, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
From research stations drifting on ice floes to high-tech aircraft radar, scientists have been tracking the depth of snow that accumulates on Arctic sea ice for almost a century. Now that people are more concerned than ever about what is happening at the poles, research led by the Univ. of Washington and NASA confirms that snow has thinned significantly in the Arctic, particularly on sea ice in western waters near Alaska.
No-power Wi-Fi connectivity could fuel Internet of Things realityAugust 6, 2014 8:11 am | by Michelle Ma, Univ. of Washington | Videos | Comments
Imagine a world in which your wristwatch or other wearable device communicates directly with your online profiles, storing information about your daily activities where you can best access it—all without requiring batteries. Or, battery-free sensors embedded around your home could track minute-by-minute temperature changes and send that information to your thermostat to help conserve energy.
Dissolvable fabric loaded with medicine might offer protection against HIVJuly 30, 2014 1:54 pm | by Michelle Ma, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
Soon, protection from HIV infection could be as simple as inserting a medicated, disappearing fabric minutes before having sex. Univ. of Washington bioengineers have discovered a potentially faster way to deliver a topical drug that protects women from contracting HIV. Their method spins the drug into silk-like fibers that quickly dissolve when in contact with moisture, releasing high doses of the drug.
Huge waves measured for first time in Arctic OceanJuly 30, 2014 8:03 am | by Hannah Hickey, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
As the climate warms and sea ice retreats, the North is changing. An ice-covered expanse now has a season of increasingly open water that is predicted to extend across the whole Arctic Ocean before the middle of this century. Storms thus have the potential to create Arctic swell. A Univ. of Washington researcher made the first study of waves in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, and detected house-sized waves during a September 2012 storm.
New protein structure could help treat Alzheimer'sJuly 28, 2014 2:16 pm | by Michelle Ma, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, but the research community is one step closer to finding treatment. Univ. of Washington bioengineers have a designed a peptide structure that can stop the harmful changes of the body's normal proteins into a state that's linked to widespread diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and Lou Gehrig's disease.
Ferroelectric switching seen in biological tissuesJune 24, 2014 7:32 am | by Michelle Ma, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
Measurements taken at the molecular scale have, for the first time, confirmed a key property that could improve our knowledge of how the heart and lungs function. Univ. of Washington researchers have shown that a favorable electrical property is present in a type of protein found in organs that repeatedly stretch and retract, such as the lungs, heart and arteries.
Sensor in eye could track pressure changes, monitor glaucomaJune 16, 2014 2:21 pm | by Michelle Ma, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
Your eye could someday house its own high-tech information center, tracking important changes and letting you know when it's time to see an eye doctor. Univ. of Washington engineers have designed a low-power sensor that could be placed permanently in a person's eye to track hard-to-measure changes in eye pressure.
"Upside-down planet" reveals new method for studying binary star systemsApril 22, 2014 8:12 am | by Peter Kelley, News and Information, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
What looked at first like an upside-down planet has instead revealed a new method for studying binary star systems, discovered by a Univ. of Washington (UW) student astronomer. Working with UW astronomer Eric Agol, doctoral student Ethan Kruse has confirmed the first "self-lensing" binary star system: one in which the mass of the closer star can be measured by how powerfully it magnifies light from its more distant companion star.
Astronomers: 'Tilt-a-worlds' could harbor lifeApril 15, 2014 3:17 pm | by Peter Kelley, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
A fluctuating tilt in a planet's orbit does not preclude the possibility of life, according to new research by a team of astronomers. In fact, sometimes it helps because such "tilt-a-worlds," as astronomers sometimes call them, are less likely than fixed-spin planets to freeze over, as heat from their host star is more evenly distributed.
Greenland ice cores show industrial record of acid rainApril 11, 2014 11:29 am | by Hannah Hickey, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
The rise and fall of acid rain is a global experiment whose results are preserved in the geologic record. By analyzing samples from the Greenland ice sheet, Univ. of Washington atmospheric scientists found clear evidence of the U.S. Clean Air Act. They also discovered a link between air acidity and how nitrogen is preserved in layers of snow.
Scientists build thinnest-possible LEDs to be stronger, more energy efficientMarch 10, 2014 1:11 pm | by Michelle Ma, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
Most modern electronics, from flatscreen TVs and smartphones to wearable technologies and computer monitors, use tiny light-emitting diodes, or LEDs. These LEDs are based off of semiconductors that emit light with the movement of electrons. As devices get smaller and faster, there is more demand for such semiconductors that are tinier, stronger and more energy efficient.
Battery-free tech brings gesture recognition to all devicesFebruary 27, 2014 12:56 pm | by Michelle Ma, Univ. of Washington | Videos | Comments
Univ. of Washington computer scientists have built a low-cost gesture recognition system that runs without batteries and lets users control their electronic devices hidden from sight with simple hand movements. The prototype, called "AllSee," uses existing TV signals as both a power source and the means for detecting a user's gesture command.
Credit card-sized device could analyze biopsyFebruary 7, 2014 7:44 am | by Michelle Ma, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
Pancreatic cancer is a particularly devastating disease. At least 94% of patients will die within five years, and in 2013 it was ranked as one of the top 10 deadliest cancers. Routine screenings for breast, colon and lung cancers have improved treatment and outcomes for patients with these diseases. But because little is known about how pancreatic cancer behaves, patients often receive a diagnosis when it's already too late.
Greenland's fastest glacier sets new speed recordFebruary 5, 2014 8:27 am | by Hannah Hickey and Bárbara Ferreira News and Information | European Geosciences Union | News | Comments
The latest observations of Jakobshavn Glacier show that Greenland's largest glacier is moving ice from land into the ocean at a speed that appears to be the fastest ever recorded. Researchers from the Univ. of Washington and the German Space Agency measured the speed of the glacier in 2012 and 2013.
Solving a physics mystery: Those "solitons" are really vortex ringsFebruary 4, 2014 8:51 am | by Peter Kelley, News and Information, Univ. of Washington | News | Comments
The same physics that gives tornadoes their ferocious stability lies at the heart of new Univ. of Washington research, and could lead to a better understanding of nuclear dynamics in studying fission, superconductors and the workings of neutron stars. The work seeks to clarify what Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers witnessed when in 2013 they named a mysterious phenomenon.
Neanderthal lineages excavated from modern human genomesJanuary 30, 2014 8:51 am | by Leila Gray, UW Health Sciences/UW Medicine | News | Comments
A substantial fraction of the Neanderthal genome persists in modern human populations. A new approach applied to analyzing whole-genome sequencing data from 665 people from Europe and East Asia shows that more than 20% of the Neanderthal genome survives in the DNA of this contemporary group, whose genetic information is part of the 1,000 Genomes Project.
Facelift complications eased with help of 3-D imaging techniqueJanuary 28, 2014 7:49 am | News | Comments
Millions of people each year remove wrinkles, soften creases and plump up their lips by injecting a gel-like material into their facial tissue. These cosmetic procedures are sometimes called "liquid facelifts" and are said to be minimally invasive. It's rare, but sometimes things go wrong. In a matter of minutes, patients' skin can turn red or blotchy white and the injected area becomes painful.
Researchers patent new antibacterial agentJanuary 22, 2014 8:54 am | by Rhona Schwartz, Univ. of Washington School of Dentistry | News | Comments
Four Univ. of Washington School of Dentistry faculty members have received a patent for a new way of using titanium-based materials to fight oral bacteria. The patent culminates several years of work in which the group studied a novel class of substances called titanates and peroxotitanates, which can inhibit bacterial growth when bound to metal ions.
Beast quake: Seahawks fans rock stadium againJanuary 13, 2014 11:27 am | News | Comments
Seismologists say Seahawks fans shook the ground under Seattle's CenturyLink Field during Saturday's defeat of the New Orleans Saints, causing another fan-generated earthquake even stronger than Marshawn Lynch's famous "beast quake" touchdown run three years ago. That quake registered a magnitude 1 or 2.
On-demand vaccines possible with engineered nanoparticlesJanuary 8, 2014 8:02 am | News | Comments
Vaccines combat diseases and protect populations from outbreaks, but the life-saving technology leaves room for improvement. Vaccines usually are made en masse in centralized locations far removed from where they will be used. They are expensive to ship and keep refrigerated and they tend to have short shelf lives. However, Univ. of Washington engineers have developed hope for on-demand vaccines.
El Nino tied to melting of Antarctica's Pine Island GlacierJanuary 2, 2014 2:21 pm | News | Comments
Pine Island Glacier is one of the biggest routes for ice to flow from Antarctica into the sea. The floating ice shelf at the glacier's tip has been melting and thinning for the past four decades, causing the glacier to speed up and discharge more ice. Understanding this ice shelf is a key for predicting sea-level rise in a warming world.

A nice hotel with fabulous service. Childcare is available during Christmas and Easter hols or at the sister hotel Crystal Cove "a fun water-taxi ride away" at other times. The hotel is well set up for children with highchairs, kids' menus and babysitting. The food was "OK, but not brilliant which is pretty standard in the Caribbean" but the all inclusive deal meant it was "great value" because "although you can eat well elsewhere in Barbados it's at London prices." The tour operator was "excellent - both friendly and helpful and all the arrangements were seamless."Read moreLess

Will An Internet Sales Tax Change How You Shop?
After a rocky beginning to the relationship, I've grown to appreciate Amazon.com. For the most part, the online retailer still boasts the best prices, shipping can be free, and if your purchases are delivered to New Jersey or one of several other states, Amazon doesn't add sales tax to the purchase.
Lobbyists that represent all retailers, almost all of which are not Amazon and other smaller online businesses, see the avoidance of sales tax as unfair competition. Under current law, online retailers only charge sales tax when the company has a physical presence - a warehouse or an office - in the same state as the buyer (or recipient of the delivery). The issue of sales tax is one for the states and cities.
Brick-and-mortar stores are already at a disadvantage. They have to pay for retail infrastructure, like storefronts and employees to manage and sell products in those stores. With higher costs, stores with physical locations need to sell their products at a higher price to maintain profits. From a shopper's perspective, especially a frugal-minded shopper who shops around for the best price, brick-and-mortar stores need to price more competitively. These old-fashioned retailers need to adapt to a changing environment if they want to be profitable and survive. That's free-market capitalism.
The proposed law will change the rule. Any business with more than $1 million in annual sales will need to charge sales tax for every customer who lives in a state that has a sales tax - all but five. Each business will need to know how to calculate that correct sales tax for each customer. That's easy enough for a company like Amazon, but for a family business that has taken its shop online only to see viral success, this could be a burden. Trying to determine the correct sales tax for a delivery in New York makes business owners cringe thanks to the variety of tax rates on the local level, within the same ZIP code, and a small business will not be equipped to handle this.

Nakheel PJSC's Islamic bonds, which rallied 37 percent last year, were cut to sell by Exotix Ltd., which said the Dubai-based developer's debt no longer accurately priced in the risk of a default.
It's "highly unlikely" that Nakheel will manage to pay the principal on the notes, which mature in 2016, from its own capital, Exotix said in an e-mailed note today. The developer, which drove Dubai to the brink of default just over three years ago, may fall 70 percent short of funds required to settle $3 billion of sukuk and bank debt maturing that year, it said.
The yield on Nakheel's Shariah-compliant notes dropped 904 basis points, or 9.04 percentage points, in 2012 as the state- run developer resumed projects it put on hold during Dubai's real estate crash. Investors have purchased the debt "on conviction that it's backed by the Dubai government," Exotix said. Nakheel received a bailout from the government in December 2009 to settle a sukuk.
"We think the market is overestimating Dubai's ability and willingness to repay this obligation as we move closer to maturity," Exotix said. "The 2016 sukuk falls due at a precarious time when several other competing obligations might also require support."
Some $7.5 billion of Dubai-related restructured debt is due in 2015 and the first half of 2016, before Nakheel's bonds mature in August that year, Exotix said. The bonds were trading at 105.61 cents to the dollar at 6:30 p.m. in Dubai, up from 77.64 cents a year ago, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

Nakheel said in November it sold 419 million dirhams ($114 million) of land plots at projects including the Palm Jumeirah, an artificial island shaped like a palm tree leaf and visible from space. Last month it awarded construction contracts valued at more than 500 million dirhams to build villas at its Jumeirah Park development.
While Dubai's real estate market "is recovering," Nakheel may not produce more than $700 million to $800 million in cumulative internal cash by 2016, Exotix said.
The United Arab Emirates central bank's caps on mortgage loans are "very strict," Exotix said, referring to a proposal from the regulator to limit the amount of home loans expatriates can get from local banks for their first home purchase to 50 percent of the unit's value.
If enacted, the limits are "likely to have a damaging impact on Nakheel's business model, which is heavily reliant on land and villa/condominium sales," Exotix said.

Colombia is often referred to as one of the oldest democracies in Latin America, yet it had an ongoing armed conflict for more than 50 years. Millions of people were displaced by the violence.
The inequality gap in the country is also one of the worst in the western hemisphere.
The richest one per cent of people own more than half of Colombia's land, while the wealthiest 20 per cent earn almost 30 times more than the poorest 20 per cent.

The research area covers plain and reinforced concrete. The research focuses on material properties of relevance for the manufacture and use of these materials in civil engineering structures such as houses, bridges and tunnels.
The research is focused on achieving an improved and quantitative understanding of the underlying, coupled, multi-scale, chemical and physical relations which are governing the total life cycle from design over manufacturing, execution, operation, maintenance, repair to demolition and re-use; a central topic is the link between micro-scale materials properties and performance on the macro-scale. With such understanding it becomes possible to tailor materials and methods of manufacturing and execution to a specific structural performance – i.e. carry out performance based materials design.
Research tools are experimental investigations combined with modelling.

An Iranian court has sentenced an American man to death, fueling tension between the United States and Iran.
The court convicted former U.S. Marine Amir Mirzaei Hekmati of working for the CIA.
The Iranian government accused Hekmati of receiving special training at U.S. military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan before heading to Iran for his alleged intelligence mission.
Hekmati's father said his son is not a spy and he was not working for the CIA.
The 28-year-old former military translator has family in Iran. He was visiting his grandmothers in the Islamic Republic when he was arrested.
Under Iranian law, he has 20 days to appeal.
Nuclear Developments
Meanwhile, two diplomats confirm reports that Iran has begun uranium enrichment at a new underground bunker.
They say the facility is producing material that can be upgraded quickly for use in a nuclear weapon.
They also say centrifuges at the Fordo site are churning out 20 percent uranium. That's greater than the 3.5 percent being made at Iran's main enrichment plant.
The diplomats are basing their information on an inspection last week by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Iran's development of nuclear fuel technology has led to U.N. sanctions and accusations from Washington that the regime is trying to develop nuclear weapons.

Annakate's StoryI came up with this salad when I was craving something healthy but hadn't been to the grocery store in awhile to stock up on fruits and veggies. Luckily I had a few things still tucked away! It turned out great and I will definitely make variations of this again. Mix and match veggies, nuts, fruit, dried fruit and grains in this salad to your tastes (or whatever you've got on hand!).
sweet potato
1 c
butternut squash, peeled and diced
onion, chopped
3/4 c
uncooked israeli couscous (or regular couscous, or brown rice)
pieces uncooked bacon
3 c
chopped greens (spring mix, arugula, mixed greens, spinach, etc.)
green onions, chopped
baby carrots, chopped
ribs celery, plus celery greens, chopped
apple or pear, chopped
1/2 c
sunflower seeds
1/2 c
1/2 c
finely grated parmesan cheese (or your favorite cheese)
3/4 c
olive oil, extra virgin
1/4 c
balsamic vinegar
1/4 c
3 Tbsp
dijon mustard
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions Step-By-Step
1Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut sweet potato into even cubes, with skin left on (more nutrients!). In a small bowl, toss sweet potato, cubed onion and butternut squash with a drizzle of olive oil, kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Spread on a baking sheet lined with foil and roast at 450 degrees for 30-40 minutes (depending on size of cubes) until browned and cooked through.
2Meanwhile, boil Irsaeli couscous in water (just like pasta) until cooked but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Drain well and rinse with cold water to cool.
3Cook bacon to desired doneness and drain on paper towel-lined plate. When cool enough to handle, crumble.
4When potato/onion/squash mixture is done, remove from oven and let cool slightly. Combine with couscous, bacon and all other ingredients in a large bowl.
5Mix up dressing ingredients in a small 1/2 pint jar (or other container) and shake until emulsified. Pour dressing over salad (to taste - there will be leftover dressing), tossing to combine. Serve with crusty bread or fruit. So healthy and yummy!

It sounds like yummy garbage to me..and yes it does deserve a better name...I bet it would be a great salad to use quinoa in place of the couscous also.
