Mother-of-Pearl, White Gemstone Properties
Design Possibilities
Exquisite, iridescent mother-of-pearl epitomizes everything we love about being feminine. Its beauty is gentle and delicate. It calls up feelings of tenderness. That's understandable because mother-of-pearl is truly a mother. Its name refers to the inner layer of a mollusk shell where a pearl literally grows from the mother-of-pearl secretions. Like all "feminine" women, mother-of-pearl has a beauty uniquely its own. Create a necklace with white mother-of-pearl and give a gift of beautiful old-fashioned feminine elegance to every woman you love-yourself included.
Metaphysical/Healing Properties
Mother-of-pearl may look delicate and gentle and even old-fashioned, but modern women, especially, need its spiritual values. Since it has a tremendous ability to calm and lessen the fears of those who wear it, it is especially helpful for anyone whose life is intense and stressful. I don't know a single modern woman whose life isn't.

Gaming's most lecherous protagonist is about to receive a facelift. Austin-based development studio Replay Games has announced plans to release an HD re-mastered version of Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards. The remake is scheduled to launch for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, XBLA, PSN, On-Live, and Steam. If it's successful, Replay Games plans to give the HD treatment to the other Leisure Suit Larry titles.
In addition to the remake, the studio is also working directly with series creator Al Lowe, who has given his blessing to the project. Replay Games and Lowe have plans for brand new Larry adventures scheduled for early 2012 to celebrate the series' 25th anniversary. "I'm overjoyed to see Larry released from his digital dungeon after all this time, and be placed in the hands of someone who understands him and wants to see him, brought back to the forefront by people who love him and understand him," said Lowe in an interview with EGM.
Above: It'll look like this, only better
News of the return of Leisure Suit Larry follows the release of several poorly received releases starring Larry's lesser known and less liked nephew, Larry Lovage. If you count yourself as a member of the Al Lowe camp – and truly love and understand the complexity of Larry Laffer, today is a great day.

Increase in SafeRide Usage
With the Spring 2010 semester underway, the Northern Iowa Student Government is pleased to announce its Fall 2009 ridership for the Weekend SafeRide. Overall numbers reveal an increase in 1,024 participants from Fall 2008 to Fall 2009.
A graph attached shows the increase from month to month.
The SafeRide provides a safe alternative form of transportation for UNI students and community members every weekend during the academic year (including winter and spring breaks). The program promotes responsibility for all members of the Cedar Falls community.
In April 2009, NISG was honored with the Commissioner's Special Award for Traffic Safety from the Iowa Department of Public Safety. This annual award recognizes outstanding traffic safety contributions based on a commitment to traffic safety and service provided beyond routine duties.
The SafeRide route runs from 9:55 p.m. to 2:20 a.m. and is sponsored by UNI Public Safety. For more information on the SafeRide, a PDF download of its schedule and other NISG resources, visit http://www.uni.edu/studentorgs/nisg/student-resources/transportation
NISG Election Season
The Northern Iowa Student Government campaign and election season will begin soon.
Information packets complete with petitions will be available this Friday, Jan. 22 for President and Vice President candidates, and Senate candidates. Packets can be picked up at the NISG office. President and Vice President candidates must meet with Election Commissioner Mary Jo Halder in order to receive a packet.
Packets are due Feb. 5. If an applicant does not turn in a packet by this date, his or her name will not be on the ballot. Campaigning begins Feb. 1.
Voting will take place on Feb. 23 and Feb. 24 on MyUNIverse. Please check back for more details.
Liberal Arts Core Review Survey
The Liberal Arts Core Review Steering Committee (LAC-RSC) invites all faculty and students to participate in a short survey on the current Liberal Arts Core. The survey results will be used to help shape campus discussions about whether the current LAC needs to be revised and if so, how it should be improved. The charge of the LAC-RSC can be accessed at http://www.uni.edu/vpaa/documents/LAC-RSCCharge.pdf.
The survey will be available on MyUNIverse for two weeks beginning Tuesday Jan. 19, 2010. Additional comments or questions about the survey may be directed to the committee co-chairs, Susan Hill (firstname.lastname@example.com) and/or Virginia Arthur (firstname.lastname@example.com). Your participation in the survey is very important to the work of the committee!
Textbook Tax Credit
Save your course materials' receipts -- you may be eligible for a tax credit up to $2,500. The economic stimulus package signed into law by President Obama in Feb. 2009 makes the cost of college textbooks and course materials eligible for tax credits. This provision makes these academic tools more affordable for students and their families. For more information, visit http://www.textbookaid.org.
University of Northern Iowa announces first round of reorganization plans
University of Northern Iowa President Ben Allen today announced the first round of a series of realignments of administrative and academic units at the university. According to Allen these changes will help the university more effectively meet the needs of students and respond to the realities of the state budget.
"Several years of reductions in state appropriations have severely affected our ability to maintain our current organizational structure," said Allen. "We've been developing strategies to help reduce expenses and increase revenue. Some of those strategies can go into effect immediately, while others will take more time."
With that in mind, pending Board of Regents, State of Iowa, approval, Allen intends to reduce the number of the university's administrative divisions from four to three. Effective July 1, 2010 UNI's Marketing & Advancement Division will be dissolved, eliminating one university vice president position.
The Marketing & Advancement Division is comprised of the Offices of University Marketing & Public Relations; University Development, which includes the UNI Foundation; and Alumni Relations, which includes the UNI Alumni Association. Bill Calhoun, current UNI vice president and president of the UNI Foundation, will remain as president of the UNI Foundation and will continue to report to Allen. University Development and Alumni Relations will continue to report to Calhoun. University Marketing & Public Relations, led by James O'Connor, assistant vice president for marketing and public relations, will now report to Allen.
"On the academic side, Executive Vice President and Provost Gloria Gibson has recommended combining UNI's Colleges of Humanities & Fine Arts (CHFA) and Natural Sciences (CNS), Allen said. "I strongly support this plan. It will have a positive impact and provide opportunities to improve student learning, efficiency and effectiveness."
This move would mark the first time colleges have been combined at UNI.
"Combining these colleges will strengthen the academic offerings of the combined college and will help reduce administrative expenses," Gibson said. "CHFA currently doesn't have a dean. Given that fact, and that these two colleges provide the vast majority of our liberal arts core courses, the time is right to bring these colleges together with the goal of developing new, integrated programs that will serve the needs of our students and the state."
Gibson will appoint a committee of faculty, staff and students that will develop specific plans to carryout the reorganization. Consolidation of the two colleges is to be complete by June 30, 2011.
Joel Haack, current CNS dean, will be the inaugural dean of the new college. Haack will lead the transition team, as well as serve as CHFA dean until the new college is up and running.
Students enrolled in programs in the two existing colleges will be able to continue course work toward their degrees.
Along with the college consolidation, Gibson intends to combine the Department of English Language and Literature and the Department of Modern Languages. Samuel Gladden, associate professor of English will be appointed acting head of the Department of Modern Languages. He and Jeffrey Copeland, head of the Department of English Language and Literature, will lead a transition team charged with developing plans for a new, integrated department.
The college and department consolidation plans will require approval by the Board of Regents.

If you're four-wheel driving, head out to Baal Bone Gap for a picnic and some of the finest views in the Blue Mountains. You'll find huge examples of the rock pagodas that make this part of the mountains unique and see stunning sandstone cliffs and extensive views.
Baal Bone Gap is a popular place to begin a bushwalking exploration of the western end of the park. Enjoy a picnic and head out among the distinctive grass trees for a truly rejuvenating experience, but remember that trails are unmarked and walking in Gardens of Stone is for experienced and well-prepared bushwalkers only.

text: Vettel faces FIA sanctions after middle finger tirade during Malaysian GP 28 March, 2012 Sebastian Vettel feeling the pressure early on in the season Mar.28 (GMM) The FIA could sanction F1's reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel for his un-sporting conduct during the recent Malaysian Grand Prix, where he failed to score points after a late race coming together with backmarker Narain Karthikeyan. Sebastian Vettel closing in on Narain Karthikeyan during the race Before calling Karthikeyan a "gherkin" and "idiot" in the wake of their collision, Sebastian Vettel was captured by his on-board camera twice displaying his middle-finger to the Indian driver. "I think he's highly frustrated because he's having a tough season," Karthikeyan told the Deccan Chronicle on Wednesday. "It's completely unprofessional to blame me for the incident. The derogatory remark only goes to show him in bad light. "Just because he has a good car, he can't call others an idiot," Karthikeyan continued. "I have won races in all the previous single-seater championships I have participated in so I don't need a certificate from Vettel." Reports in Germany, including in the Kolner Express, Bild and Die Welt newspapers, claim that Red Bull driver's behaviour may have breached the new stricter code of conduct introduced by FIA president Jean Todt. The FIA has been contacted for comment. Seb gave it the wrong finger at Sepang... "He has breached the code of conduct," former F1 driver Marc Surer told Germany's Sky television. "You sign it when you get the license and then you have to behave correspondingly. "Any behaviour that hurts other people or the sport is an offense," added the Swiss. Asked what the penalties might be, Surer explained: "Anything from a warning to a license revocation. In this case I think it was quite understandable and there will be a mild punishment, if there is anything." Hans-Joachim Stuck, however, is slightly less forgiving. "When you're overtaking, misunderstandings can occur. I think Vettel needs to learn this. "With him, the curve was always upwards and now it's not the case, and he needs to deal with that," the German legend told the DAPD news agency. As for Vettel's description of Karthikeyan as a "gherkin", Stuck insisted: "It's better than 'asshole'." Vettel's attack, however, was sustained, with Kleine Zeitung newspaper now quoting the Red Bull driver as having said: "Maybe f1 is not the place to learn how to drive." Stuck responded: "If Sebastian had left more space, it would not have happened. It happens sometimes so it's a racing incident. "He (Karthikeyan) didn't do it on purpose and it always takes two." The HRT driver hit back by calling Vettel a "bully", and even David Coulthard – a Red Bull team consultant – defended Karthikeyan. "He can't make his car invisible," the Scot is quoted as saying by the Mirror. Also defending Karthikeyan was Force India driver Nico Hulkenberg, who told the Indian press this week: "From what I saw, it was not Narain's fault. "So I don't really understand why he (Vettel) said all that." Hukenberg's Force India teammate Paul di Resta added: "Narain is entitled to do as much on the track in comparison with someone like Vettel. "Both are F1 drivers and are there to represent their teams." Subbed by AJN.

A great example of a gentlemen driver TheF1Fan Yeah!! Ever since he won the WDC in '09 season he changed himself into a classic driver .. pure gentlemen by all means Firoze Munzeer You can not Red bull-doze your way when you have a car in front of you. When you overtake you do not expect the driver being overtaken to slow down or move out of your way. This is racing and not street traffic. The remarks and the gestures are unbecoming of a champion. Be gracious even if you are being beaten even by your team mate. He lost points not only in the race but also with the fans and the media. Dwimar vetel may learn to schumy, How to become a real champion, When under pressure and harsh conditions. stay wise as a true champion and not chatty. fawxx he finally got in to trouble with his finger! Twiinz Karthikeyan is in the right here. He is not a bad driver so much that he is in a bad car. You don't get into F1 without skills. Vettel needs to mature a little. He is now feeling pressure for the first time in his career. He must learn how to deal or he will be a media target like Lewis was last year. ? Speaking of Vettel not acting like a champ reminds me of 2010. Malaysia was Turkey and (Maybe) Spa Combined. What happened at Abu Dhabi erased our memories of that, unfortunately. Of course, History may or may not repeat itself come Abu Dhabi and Interlagos. farizY It would be lame if they sanction Vettel…..seriously lame…. fools I get mixed emotions with this guy. However, I never did like the way he flings up his #1 index finger like if he was doing it in a fashion like *f*** you, I'm number 1. Then as we see in the world wide video taken he's waving his middle finger to another driver because of his own mistake and frustration he cannot compose. Just shows he needs to mature and all they do is talk about how young and "mature he is" pfff! I pitty that. Zurf Vettel forgot how to use the right fingers when he didn't win the game… LOL http://www.yallaf1.com Val Maltese Uh…has Vettel ever admitted he was at fault? Brilliant, quick, the results up to now pointed towards the best driver in the best car.. perhaps this year we will see how much better the car actually made him… andrewf1 I hope he gets a reprimand or sanction or something from the FIA so he can learn some humility. That kind of arrogance towards other drivers – especially when he was at the LEAST 50% to blame as well – is just pathetic. fools I love how Karthikeyan said what he wanted to say professionally and maturely and did not get intimidated by the media to answer those questions… "I think he's highly frustrated because he's having a tough season," "It's completely unprofessional to blame me for the incident. The derogatory remark only goes to show him in bad light. "Just because he has a good car, he can't call others an idiot," Karthikeyan continued. Nemo Bah! This is all nancy pants. I cant see a problem with it. Its good to see them fire up for once. Just like the Montoya days. The FIA should be looking into why Karthikeyan received a penalty, more than Vettel giving him the bird lol. Rules are rules, and the FIA must be consistent when dishing out reprimands. If lewis hamilton did this, he would have been given a sanction. Similarly, Vettel must recieve some punishment. If only for the sake of consistency. Alex If he wasn't giving so much verbal feedback regarding his emotions towards other drivers, I don't think he would have gotten in trouble for his finger Just as Kimi gets a free pass on his "fingers" Mark vettel should be suspended for 2 consecutive races since he did the finger twice…. this ought to teach him a lesson and good manners and sportsmanship like. FIA should not take this lightly as on the track, all racers have the same privileges when it comes to driving. 2 time world champion??? doesn't look like that to me… with such attitude, he looks like he's never won any championship with that kind of stature. Saying names definitely does not come close to a champions attitude. Poor sebastian, he hasn't learned. Suspend that IDIOT!!! Bokino Seriously people…He gave someone the finger in the heat of the moment. That is not even close to deserving of any punishment. And to say that this proves he is a bad driver and the car made him look good blah blah blah is just ludicrous. He drove flawless last year. Maybe Karthikeyan didn't deserve a penalty but the incident was still mostly his fault. Bent Spark Plug Bend over Seb you Blubbering Baby and I will give YOU my finger and anything else I can muster with zero lube ! Learn to deal with YOUR MISTAKE, you are carrying on like a spolit little Bavarian Baby…get some humility into mate. Life is full of ups and downs..DEAL WITH IT SQUARE HEADED LITTLE BABY. adam22 i am not happy my idol vettel not showing class, just need to take it easy as others have the rights to be on track too – need to learn from this and don't be negative about other seb! Paul Seb your not as good as Schuey by a long stretch of the imagination so chill out and concentrate on your driving. Paul plonker Jojo Mouth Let Vettel drive HRT car and Narain at RB8.. Lets see who's the idiot now.. Vettel is never a great driver, he was just so lucky to sat on RB7 & RB8.. Now he can't even handle the real pressure of being not in front.. Hawk let him be reprimanded for the verbal abuse he made after the race. he has no right to call Narain a learner. but the finger is just the heat of the moment which I believe his bosses can talk to him about. as for JB, he apologised to NK because it was his mistake. why shd vettel do the same? he could even have done it to cast Vettel in bad light. he is so wily, that one. and who said he is the perfect gentleman? do you remember that outburst when the press asked him about LH? Professorfate Seb obviously wasn't listening to his parents when he was learning about humility. He still behaves like a little child(when he wins or loses) and he is never wrong, t's always someone elses fault. You notice Marko has been strangely quiet after this incident. Maybe he's realizing Seb isn't perfect after all. A stint in a Toro Rosso for a few races might help him grow up a little. dannyp vettel sliced in too quickly for Narain to back out. 100% vettel's fault. called him a gherkin sound's like a racist to me. vettel has always been a "cry baby" and now he don't have a superior car he will cry more and more. vettel is 1 of fiew driver's on track that needs the best car to win BOO HOO (BABY) just like webber said in 2007 when vettel hit him (stupid f'in kids with not enough experience) dannyp i forgot to mention the fact vettel only started doing good 1ce he got the blown diffuser. webber is a match now they dont have as much grip in corners. his car won the 2 championships not him vettels 1st ever win for toro rosso was all on the superior set up just like sergio's 2nd place

European Central Bank Governing Council member Panicos Demetriades said he is optimistic that Greece won't leave the euro area as growth policies in Europe gradually take hold, Phileleftheros reported.
Greece's elected officials will "rise to the circumstances," regardless of the outcome of the country's June 17 ballot, the Nicosia-based newspaper reported, citing Demetriades, who is also governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus.
The east Mediterranean island's central bank and finance ministry are working together to protect its tax regime, which attracts offshore companies, in the event that Cyprus pursues a financial bailout, Phileleftheros cited Demetriades as saying.

In a "Glee" episode plagued with cheesy as hell plot lines (Mr. Shue wants Finn to be his best man? Coach Beiste got married in Vegas? What?), last night's highlight was Nene Leakes as tough-talking synchronized swimming coach, Roz Washington. I didn't know what to expect, but I am happy to report that the "Real Housewife of Atlanta" star rocked her cameo with wry one-liners like, "If you pee in my pool, I will kill you." You can watch a clip of her scene here. I hope we see her again this season. I like watching her act better than I like watching her act like herself. What did you think of Nene's acting debut?

Todd Rundgren at Coronado June 1-2
Staff Report
Fans of Todd Rundgren are in for a rare treat June 1-2 when he takes the stage with the award-winning Rockford Symphony Orchestra at the Coronado Performing Arts Center in Rockford.
The two concerts will feature Rundgren performing some songs many of his long-time fans have never seen him perform live, despite attending dozens to even hundreds of his concerts during his 40-plus-year career. Tickets for both concerts are available at the Coronado's website, coronadopac.org/, or by calling (815) 968-0595.
The Rockford concerts will mark Rundgren's first-ever symphonic shows in the United States. Last September, he performed shows in the Netherlands with the Metropole Orchestra. The producer of the event, Co de Kloet, decided which songs they would perform, and according to Rundgren, the choices were based principally on songs where the original arrangements on the records had an orchestral flavor to them. The symphonic charts have not been performed since.
The setlist for the two shows included songs Rundgren had never performed live, such as his first hit song, "We Gotta Get You A Woman," and the quirky "Onomatopoeia," which, as the name suggests, is full of vocal imitations of different sounds. Another song performed during the Netherlands concerts was "Wailing Wall," a beautiful ballad believed to be performed live only once by Rundgren more than three decades ago.
As part of the agreement for Rundgren to perform with the Metropole, he was given the charts to all of the songs they performed together, and those are now in the hands of the Rockford Symphony Orchestra. Along with the songs mentioned earlier, Rundgren and the orchestra will be performing his popular mainstream hits like "Hello It's Me," "Can We Still Be Friends," "I Saw The Light" and fan favorites such as "God Said," "Pretending To Care" and "Love Of The Common Man."
Rundgren announced on a recent RundgrenRadio.com online radio show that he would be performing with the Metropole Orchestra again this fall, but with a different list of songs.
"I'm going back this November and performing again with the Metropole Orchestra, and we're going to alter the show somewhat — we are going to come up with some other songs," Rundgren said. "I don't know which ones are getting cycled out, but there will be some other songs orchestrated."
Melinda Cain from RundgrenRadio.com said: "Looking at Todd's calendar for the rest of the year, it appears these two shows in Rockford will be his only symphonic shows in the United States in 2012. The concerts at the Coronado could very well be the only opportunities in the U.S. to see some of these songs performed live by Todd with an orchestra. If he performs in the U.S. with an orchestra next year, he will have new charts from the November concert with the Metropole Orchestra, and the setlist would likely be different."
Another unique happening for the fans attending the Rockford shows is the addition of guest guitarist Jesse Gress to the Rockford Symphony Orchestra for the two concerts. Gress has served as Rundgren's touring guitarist for more than 20 years.

"Why does it seem you only publish the partisan hateful comments? Are there no sane people out there who just want an honest government that will not lie to them or spy on them and not have to worry about the IRS harassing them just because they want to be left alone to live their lives in peace? Why must everything be about politics?"
"So the Phoenix police officer was killed by an illegal alien. The President and all the liberals want licenses issued to illegals, why?"
"Winning Powerball ticket sold to Florida Man. I can't even imagine the insane tasteless stuff the government's going to buy with its share."
"How terrible. A food fight, Horror of horrors, terrorism to the first degree. Let the graduates at Combs High School march, but then cut off their hands, and sentence them to 80 years in tent city."
"If I was a burglar and I wanted to bur burglarize a home with lots of guns in it, where should I look? The Letters to the Editor section of the East Valley Tribune."
"Tea party groups harassed? What a crock! Not a single group lost tax-exempt status. In fact, every single group lied about their intent in forming. They are hiding donors' names that contribute to their political cause. These groups did not file as 501(c)3 or 527 groups because you have to list your donors. Deceit, pure and simple, is their sole purpose."
"I think the IRS was targeting certain groups to combat voter fraud, which every man, woman, and child in this country knows is out of control, and ranks 2nd only to terrorism."
"The Venter in the Sunday Tribune is completely off-base. The IRS is not 'in charge of Obamacare,' nor is it in the business of denying Tea-publicans health care. The Affordable Health Care Act allows the IRS to levy a penalty on individuals — regardless of their political, religious, or ideological affiliation — who do not pay for health insurance. Don't try to pervert this simple fact into some vast, mindless conspiracy. You should know by now that Americans cannot be so easily duped to believe such nonsensical misinformation."

Job growth appeared to slow drastically during March, as employers added 88,000 new jobs, down from 268,000 in February. The unemployment rate went down a tick, from 7.7 percent to 7.6, but that was due to a reduction in the labor force.

What States Have the Highest Unemployment Rates?
It's not easy being unemployed or under-employed, but you are definitely not alone. Even with a highly positive new jobs report just out and the country apparently on an upswing, an unemployment rate of 7.7 percent means a lot of people still need jobs.
But that doesn't mean the situation is hopeless for anyone. If you're spent on looking for available jobs in your current locale because it seems like the well has dried, you could be right. Some states have higher unemployment rates than others, and you could be stuck living somewhere that's not helping you. It might be time to relocate.

Two Spokane County sheriff's employees have been honored for saving the life of a suicidal man after he was shot by officers.
Deputy Walter Loucks and Sgt. Dale Golman rushed to Michael E. Young after he was shot Dec. 27 and kept him breathing while medics arrived.
Although the move was later criticized as too risky in an internal investigation, Loucks and Golman were honored for their bravery this week during the annual SCOPE (Sheriff's Community Oriented Policing Effort) and Law Enforcement Appreciation Dinner.

The programme comes with an accompanying booklet (known as the Skate UK Star Passport to Competitive Skating) that can be purchased from the Skate UK shop.

What's next?
Upon completion of the Gold Level in Skate UK Star skaters may wish to continue their skating development by entering the NISA National Tests. Your NISA Licensed Coach will be able to talk to you more about what this entails.
When you are ready to take the National Tests you will need to become a NISA member (you will also need to become a NISA member if you want to enter any UK competitions) which you can do by downloading the application form from the NISA members section. Here you will also find the application form for applying for tests, which can be sent in at the same time as you apply for membership.
Remember when you apply for your first level of National Tests to include your Registration Document, signed by your NISA Licensed Coach, to show you have passed the Gold level of Skate UK Star. This will be returned to you as soon as it has been checked by the NISA office.

Dick Cheney is again inflating the threat of terrorism so as to scare the American public and build support for his goals, which are a presidency with unconstrained power in foreign interventions, U.S. global hegemony based on high-tech military power, a condition of permanent warfare, and unilateral U.S. interventions whenever and wherever the president pleases. Cheney basically wants a presidential dictatorship in the area of foreign affairs, bolstered by a never-ending war.
Cheney hates constraints on the presidency, coming from Congress, the public, the media, the intelligence community, the Pentagon, the Department of State, or anywhere. It is to be expected that Cheney keeps hidden that he also wants a presidential dictatorship in domestic affairs. This inference is a logical corollary to his aims in foreign policy.
Asked this week about nuclear attack, Cheney lied. "He cited the continuity of government program, saying it 'involved having a government-in-waiting, if you will, ready to go in the event of a nuclear attack…so that we could always maintain the constitutional-based, governmental authority.'" Cheney frequently lies, see here and here. In the contingency planning for nuclear attack on Washington, which involved moving the government to safe locations, "Rumsfeld and Cheney were the leaders of two of these teams", we are told in Duggan's thesis. "Once a year 3 separate teams were taken to an unknown location somewhere in the United States to simulate a shadow government in hiding that gamed out a response to World War III…The leaders of the teams or presidents acted as the sole authority of government and the exercises failed to include a role for Congress and ignored the regular line of succession in the Constitution."
Cheney has used the threat and fear of terror many times in order to justify higher Pentagon budgets, massive surveillance, unconstitutional methods, and untrammeled presidential power, even though none of these effectively ward off terror attacks; and even though the use of U.S. power overseas is producing more and more potential terrorists here and abroad.
In May of 2002, Cheney warned of a terror attack in America, saying it was certain but the date unknown. He was correct, this being a safe prediction. However, is this justification for a big shift toward dictatorial government in America and for a big shift toward a police state? These did not thwart attacks for which there was ample information of their impending probability. In 2004, Cheney used the threat of a terror attack to argue against electing John Kerry. In 2009, Cheney again warned of a terror attack and mixed it in with an attack on Obama: "Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a 'high probability' that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration's policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed."
There are several problems with Cheney's predictions. First, his predictions are inflated. The problem is not that Cheney is wrong or will be proven wrong that there will be terror attacks of some sort at some time in the future. There already have been, but there are no intelligence sources saying that terrorists have access to nuclear weapons. Second, he has ulterior motives that have nothing to do with terror. He is using the terror issue, piggybacking on it, so as to push his real agenda: increased presidential power, increased military power and projecting U.S. power worldwide. Third, the policies of war and intervention that he wants don't reduce the chances of terror. They increase it. They also increase the motivation of terrorists to seek more powerful weapons. Fourth, these interventionist policies divert foreign policy, energy and resources away from actions that will reduce terror threats. Fifth, the blanket surveillance policies abrogate rights and are ineffective to boot by flooding the system with irrelevant information.6:28 pm on June 27, 2014 Email Michael S. Rozeff

In this video from NASA, engineers describe the conditions facing the Glory spacecraft as it launches and then travels in a Sun-synchronous, low-Earth polar orbit, observing and tracking conditions on Earth. Engineering considerations include thermal stress, structural integrity, and vulnerability to vibrational effects during launch.
Classroom Activity: Thermometer-meter
The expansion and contraction of the liquid inside a thermometer demonstrates thermal expansion. Thermometers are designed to take advantage of this fact! In this exercises, students focus on the thermometer itself.
For each student or group of students: two thermometer (designed so the liquid expansion / contraction is obvious), two beakers, ice water, warm water
Students set up the two beakers, one with ice water and the other with warm water. They put a thermometer into each one and observe and track the movement of the liquid inside each thermometer. When the temperatures have stabilized, students switch the two thermometers and observe the reaction of each.
Discussion Questions
Additional Activity Follow-up
Add another container of water – this one at room temperature. Students put one hand in the warm water and the other in the cold water. After they adjust to the two, students put both hands into the room temperature container. The two hands will experience the water differently based on the temperature of the previous container.
Questions: What does each hand experience? Why do you think there's a difference? Which one is "correct?" How does this demonstration make the case for using instruments like thermometers?
Some satellites orbiting the Earth peer outward into space, observing the Sun, planets, our galaxy, even distant galaxies and beyond. Some satellites, on the other hand, peer back down toward Earth. NASA's Glory satellite was designed to orbit the Earth tracking the distribution of aerosols in the atmosphere and also measuring total solar irradiance.
Aerosols are tiny particles like dust, mist, or fumes that are suspended in air. In the atmosphere, aerosols affect how rain forms inside clouds, and they also affect how much sunlight gets reflected back into space. By tracking and measuring the distribution of atmospheric aerosols, Glory's instruments would support and inform global climate models. Glory's second goal - measuring solar irradiance – would help determine the Sun's effects on Earth's climate.
Glory's orbital path crosses the poles in what's called a polar orbit. Glory's is a special class of polar orbit – a sun-synchronous orbit - that lets the satellite pass over the same part of the Earth at the same local time every day. This type of orbit allows scientists to collect and compare precisely-timed data.
Glory contains sensitive scientific instruments, but it's also an engineering feat designed to withstand not only the strong vibrations of launch but also the extreme temperature changes it experiences in space. In its orbit, Glory cycles through day and night in very short cycles, every 100 minutes. That means Glory experiences huge temperature changes (about +/- 100 degrees C) over short periods of time. Since temperature changes affect material properties, Glory's testing process was designed to replicate the conditions Glory would confront in space.
As heat is added to a system or absorbed by materials, the molecules that make up the material move and vibrate faster and with more energy. Thermal energy – heat – causes most materials to expand. For a satellite cycling through extreme temperatures, such fluctuations could be problematic, but NASA engineers designed Glory to maintain its structure and stability as it orbits. One way engineers can stabilize a material against thermal expansion is to make it harder and denser. With more molecules packed together more closely, a material is less likely to respond negatively to thermal fluctuations. But for objects launched into space, scientists try to minimize size, weight, and volume. So, NASA engineers had to work out creative ways to produce Glory so it's as light and compact as possible, as strong as possible, and would withstand thermal expansion and contraction. The core of Glory is an aluminum chassis, with the whole system – including its two sensors – about the size of an oil drum. NASA engineers built on prior experience and knowledge to produce a compact, efficient satellite that can withstand the vibrations and thermal effects of launch and orbit.

Insider Recommendation: Bike to Sankaty Head Lighthouse 13 Aug 2014, 6:22 am
Despite our Nantucket hotel's idyllic setting as a popular New England getaway destination, the island's fame also includes a treacherous side: in recorded history, its shifting shoals have caused more than 700 shipwrecks!
To guide and protect generations of seafarers, three lighthouses were built, one at each corner of the island. Dotting the cliff-top shores, Nantucket's three unique and historic lighthouses are now one of its most quintessential symbols.
Of the three, Sankaty Head Lighthouse is less famous than its siblings but boasts an intriguing history and perhaps the best option for a scenic day-trip, especially if you're traveling by bike from our location at 76 Main.
Originally built in 1850, Sankaty Head Lighthouse was only automated as recently as 1965, and is still in operation on the very easternmost point of the island, in the village of Siasconset. As of 1987, the lighthouse has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Its distinctive brick tower, reaching 70 feet high, is poised on bluffs 90 feet above the crashing surf below. History of the light explains that its name, Sankaty, was actually the Wampanoag word for "high land." According to local tradition, the bluffs were used by early European settlers as a lookout point for whale spotting before longer whaling expeditions were undertaken.
Although we may no longer need lighthouses to guide our ships, these beautiful symbols of the island's history are still popular places to visit—with good reason. With its incredible views, we think Sankaty Head is one of the best—especially because of the gorgeous scenery you'll enjoy as you leisurely pedal your bike down the road to get there.

Nantucket Film Festival on the Docket 27 May 2014, 5:35 pm
Ahoy there world travelers, arts & culture aficionados, movie mavens, stargazers and anyone who loves designer boutique hotels and summertime in New England: Coming to us June 25 – 30 is the Nantucket Film Festival!
In its 19th year, this growing festival is touted as early summer's best movie mecca, and attracts a loyal and engaged audience from around the world with it's diverse, fun and intimate program schedule.
Amongst film festivals, what sets Nantucket apart as a premiere destination (aside from its obviously spectacular island locale) is its unique focus on storytelling and celebration of talented screenwriters. In addition to its spotlight preview screenings, shorts and signature programs, the festival lineup includes inspiring and hilarious staged readings, "late night storytelling", "morning coffees" and an all-star comedy roundtable.
A 5-day "nirvana" for movie fans and stargazers, this beloved event showcases beautiful films in an equally stunning, romantic setting. Even better: attendees have a plethora of options to choose from, with event passes ranging from 1-day (for just $95), to nights only, week-long, all the way up to premium all-access—for only the most impassioned film buffs (or desperately starstruck).
For us, just being on Nantucket during the festival is almost exciting enough on its own—considering that we just might run into our favorite stars licking an ice cream cone and strolling down the street in front of our boutique hotel here at 76 Main.
We can't think of a more exciting, inspiring and fun way to begin the summer…so grab your big, dark movie star glasses and hop out to join us for this unforgettable Nantucket experience!

Nantucket Race Week Coming Soon! 30 Jul 2013, 8:10 am
It's almost August and the island and our Nantucket hotel are hopping. Summer is in full swing and the halls (and courtyard) of 76 Main buzz with activity.
A week from Saturday, Nantucket Race Week kicks into gear with eight days of regattas, awards ceremonies, and parties, parties, parties.
From the opening Hobie regatta (a new event this year), to the sparkling dinners, to the closing rainbow sail boat parade, Nantucket Race Week events showcase the true sailing side of our special island — and are a heck of a lot of fun, to boot.
And, most importantly, many Nantucket Race Week events benefit Nantucket Community Sailing. This wonderful organization offers affordable sailing opportunities every year to well over 1,000 island kids who would not otherwise be able to experience the time-honored Nantucket tradition of sailing.
Come stay during Nantucket Race Week. We have VERY FEW rooms left for that window of dates, so now is the time to act.
