Street Style and Red-Carpet Fashion: Week of Jan. 28, 2013
This Week's Best Dressed
Though the SAG Awards on Sunday brought a bevy of red-carpet stunners, some of the week's best looks were much more dressed down. Lou Doillon, for example, looked every bit the rock star at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes. In town to celebrate her debut album, Places, the model-turned-singer wowed at the music festival in a shearling-lined motorcycle coat and wide-brimmed fedora.
At the InStyle Best of British Talent party in London, there were plenty of casual-chic ensembles as well; Sophie Kennedy-Clark turned heads in a very of-the-moment grid-print pants look, while Emma Pawson looked sweet in a bright yellow sweater and floral-patterned skirt combo.
See that, plus all the best looks from the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund winner's announcement and more, right here, in the slideshow.

The Morning Read: Grandmaster Directors and Endings That Don't Matter
Features By Scott Beggs on August 19, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThe morning's best writing from around the movie website-o-sphere.
Just leave a tab open for us, will ya?
"A Kung Fu That Maims and Romances" — Wong Kar-wai gives us a history lesson in his interview with The New York Times.
"Breaking Bad: Why The Ending Doesn't Really Matter" — Brian Lowry at Variety tosses cold water on media/fan speculation. It's about the journey, right? We already know the destination is at latitude: 34° 59′ 20", longitude 106° 36′ 52".
"The perks and perils of director/actor team-ups" — The team at The Dissolve dissect BFF collaborations that create amazing work and piles of lazy back-slapping.

The Starving Artist keeps you focused
Stay on top of creative goals with this helpful app.
With about 50 million things to do each day, it can be hard to fit in any creative projects. The Starving Artist is a productivity app that helps you keep track of projects you have going on or want to pursue. While the app is geared toward creative people, we think it would work well for just about anyone who needs to stay focused.
To begin The Starving Artist, you'll have to create a profile, which requires a bit of personal information such as your first and last name, the state/province where you live, and your e-mail and a password. This is the one downside of the app; we weren't too enthused about having to fork over so much information, to be quite honest. (Nothing says you have to be 100 percent truthful, however.) There is also an option to join some sort of mailing list. The box is checked by default, but you can uncheck it.
From there, you're shown a Dream Statement and are asked to create your own. After that, it's on to adding your goals and writing out an action plan for them. All you have to do is determine if this is a weekly, monthly, or yearly goal and then tap the plus sign to name the goal and write out an action plan. You can separate your goals into Minor and Majors ones to keep them straight.
There's a Dashboard where you can write about your Successes, but according to the Terms of Service, your thoughts will actually be published to some sort of public community, though we really have no idea where to find it. We recommend steering clear of that feature if you're a fan of privacy. We also wish that the app contained some sort of alert system so that you could be reminded of certain projects throughout the day, week, and month.
The Starving Artist, while not perfect, could be a great way to stay on top of your creative endeavors. We recommend it for all users.

My PCIe RME sound card has got a MIDI IO and in addition I use 2
TerraTec EWX 24/96 Envy24 cards, each one has got a single IO too. I
bought one of those Envy24 cards at Ebay for around 30 EUR.For SysEx only I use an elCheapo swissonic USB device, this can't be
used for MIDI notes, since it does cause too much jitter for my taste.For MIDI out I in addition use a MIDI thru box, 1 input, 4 outputs. This
is a do it ourself product. Assumed you don't have the knowledge how to
build such devices, there are likely many howtos in the Internet or
perhaps http://www.doepfer.de/home_e.htm provides a assembly kit.JFTR to my ATARI ST I added an extra MIDI in, by simply using a toggle
switch and I used it with 4 additional outs provided by a Steinberg
SMPTE interface.You should avoid MIDI thru chains from one synth to the other. The delay
might not be an issue, but there is a limit for the data you can send
using just one output. A MIDI thru box won't help either. You need
several individual outputs, especially for real-time SysEx data.JFTR PC MIDI is disgusting, don't expect the "relatively painless" MIDI
usage you know from working with synth only, or old stand alone gear,
the C64 or Atari ST._______________________________________________

.- Archbishop Hugo Barrantes Urena of San Jose in Costa Rica has called on the country's lawmakers to defend the institution of marriage and not go "against correct reason" by approving same-sex marriage.
Speaking before a congressional committee that is discussing a proposal that would legalize homosexual marriage, Archbishop Barrantes warned that such a move would "obscure the general perception of fundamental moral values and would provoke the devaluing of the institution of marriage."
"The Catholic Church considers all persons to be created in the image of God and worthy of respect," he continued, "and she rejects all discrimination against the dignity of the person. Thus, the Church distinguishes between respect for all persons, regardless of their sexual orientation, and rejection of homosexual acts, which are objectively contrary to God's plan for the human being."
"The Church greatly values the natural institution of marriage, beyond any simple union, as the foundation of the family. This natural institution is recognized by the great cultures of humanity as a truth made evident by correct reason, based on the anthropological complementarity of the sexes," the archbishop said.
"This natural truth is notably enriched by Christian revelation, which teaches us the dignity of the human person: man and woman, the sexuality of the human being beyond his mere biological sphere, as the human being is a being with a body and a soul, and marriage as a way of life, in which personal communion is lived," he continued.
Archbishop Barrantes pointed out that while those who argue in favor of homosexual unions "appeal to the principle of respect and non-discrimination," granting the status of marriage and the rights that belong to it to relations between homosexual persons is "in itself a greater injustice, as it is an attack upon the common good of the social community."
He reminded the lawmakers, especially those who are Catholic, that "as the Church, we see great value in the family, which must be defended from all attacks aimed at undermining its foundation and jeopardizing its very existence." Therefore he urged them to pass laws "based on ethical principles and in benefit of the common good."

Awwww I'm glad to hear that Bo got some love from you. I feel better knowing he is in good hands. So let me get this straight... you don't like ToT? Ok, then I'll give you a break on that one. So you are good with upside down rides - just not ones that make you feel like you are falling and your stomach is in your throat! Yeah, I think the momentum of the ride created a draft in the wrong spot. Quote:
I agree. There is so much to see and explore with ToT. I'm sure there's a story behind most of it. Goodness! I hope not too! Quote:
I suppose the QA process wasn't that thorough. Hi pitterpint! Thanks for joining and for the compliment. How very kind of you. You are most welcome to stick around and eventually find out that this isn't that great compared to some other's TR out there!! Seriously though, I'm glad you are here and joining.

It's great to see you back Brenda - I hope you had a good trip.
Loved the YC photos - the lemonade/lemon water (not sure which) looks delicious! I love my water with lemons! Your Dismeet/dinner with Kathy/Mark looks like you had a lot of fun. And your morning at DHS looks great too - you are right - that was a VERY HOT day... Not sure if it's because that was our first full day there and we were still adjusting to the temps, or if it was truly hot? But - I remember opening that door in the morning thinking OMG... and wanting to turn right back around and go back into our room. LOL I am used to MN - where the coolest part of a summer day is bright n' early in the morning. Looking forward to hearing about the rest of your trip! D~

Wow, you gals look stunning. I think it's so wonderful that you always get photos with the staff. Hmmm, maybe you could start a new thing... "CM's around the Dining World".
So nice to see Ricardo again too! Ahhh, the morning is so pretty in Disney World. Honestly Brenda, I think there is only no line for Bo when you're around. See, nobody wants to get between you and your man. Haha, I've been on the 101 and yes, I would consider it parking lot speed at best. Not so good for a roller coaster. Bahahaha, wardrobe malfunction. People probably bought that photo who never bought a ride photo before. Honestly though, I have no idea how you ladies wear skirts or dresses on these rides, especially Space Mountain.

I'm always confused with the lemon water/lemonade jug. The signs usually say lemon water but it looks too lemony. I suppose the taste test would confirm. It is always fun to see Kathy. In fact, a little more than a week and we will see her again. I'm ok with heat but the humidity is crazy. It is not humid where we live so it's always an adjustment. Thanks for still hanging in there with this never ending TR! (It's so funny that we traveled at the same time but yours has been concluded and moved on to a PTR! Bravo to you!) Quote:
With Bo perhaps it is rather that possessive look that I have that scares other ladies off. I was going to leave a lipstick mark on this cheek kinda like marking my territory but I figured that wouldn't go over well defacing Disney property and all. Oh my gosh! You know the LA freeways don't move that fast at any time of the day hardly. But it was nice that they offered us the limos to get us to the concert. Yeah, I am not into putting on a show for anyone but the dress wasn't that short so go figure! Definitely Space Mountain and EE are ones you need to be careful.

Speaking of scenes of anxiety in ToT photos I think there's a good chance that our DD will be nearly freaking out right before the drop as she tries the ride for the very first time in January. I think she's ready to try it and will love the ride once it gets going. Just need to get her through all that "scary" stuff leading up to the actual ride.
Of all of the thrill ride photos, RnR is my least favorite. I always end looking horrible as the wind is trying to peel my face backwards.

Beautiful pictures around the Yacht Club, Brenda. It is a beautiful resort.
I always love your picture with Bo. That woman does look like she is having a problem on TOT. Fun picture of you and Em on Rock & Roll. I'm glad you were able to get a new PP card and find your photos. Before I forgot, I'll email you in the next day or two and let you know what time we have FP+ for on the 7th at the Magic Kingdom and see if we can coordinate a ride or two after our breakfast together.

So glad you are home!
I hope the trip went well, I know how those trips can go sometimes. The heat and humidity can be really brutal in WDW, that's why I don't go after May, or before Oct. as the case may be in the near future. <crossing fingers that it works out> Pictures with Bo is a must, I know I took pictures with him when we went last but for the life of me I can't seem to find them. I guess if you are going to avoid a Janet Jackson moment in the future you'll have to match your undies with your dress. I wore a dress on EE and I had to do some fancy border maneuvering with pp+ to keep people from seeing my legs being exposed. Did you die of embarrassment standing there looking at your picture? I probably would. Can't wait to see what you do next.

I'm all caught up again! See
I can see that the FP+ system would be great for HS- if you aren't being forced to use the "tiered" system. You could knock out all the "rides" early and spend the afternoon in the shows! That would be GREAT! I'm so interested to see how FP+ works for us in March.
That room looks great. Too bad it didn't have the TV in the sitting area, because that would be a PERFECT room to book for a family. I suppose I could just have my laptop, but I NEED to see what the "must-dos" are according to Stacy! I like to be organized, but I don't always unpack. It just depends. I think now that I'm dealing with 3 people (Corey can fend for himself- but the girls .) it's harder for me to live out of the suitcase, but it's also a lot to put up!

Y'all look great all dressed up for dinner! I know for me, wearing tops and shorts in the parks all day makes for a nice evening when I can dress up a bit.
Those early morning breakfasts that require a bit of travel time always seem like such a great idea in theory until you wake up tired in the morning! Goo decision on canceling and taking advantage of the club level offerings instead! The girl next to you on ToT is hilarious!! She looks like she is really freaking out! Every girl's worst nightmare...WARDROBE MALFUNCTION!! Obviously the person whose job it is to screen photos needed a little more coffee if they missed that one...

Oh, YAY, I'm caught up!
What a pretty, pretty view from your room! So sorry about the landscaper's wake up call. I'm a light sleeper, but I am awake way before anyone starts work around there. Thanks so much for your detailed YC lounge breakfast photos. I'm into that kind of thing! Already linked it to the FAQ thread. Your pictures of the Yacht Club while waiting for the Friendship boat are GORGEOUS! When I was in HS in July, I gave Bo some attention and whispered to him that you would be visiting soon. Great Tower of Terror picture. How do you rate the DL ToT with the WDW one? Can't wait to compare them myself. That is kind of funny about the over-exposure on the ride photo for RNR! OOPS! Quote:
I believe that Splash Mountain has censors working because some young ladies think it is a good idea to "flash" the camera. He doesn't even have a BACK!

Loving this trip report. Thank you so much for the in depth review of the Sunrise Safari. We are staying CL at the AKL for our upcoming trip specifically so that we can go on the safari. My dd is turning 6 just prior to the trip (this will be a birthday trip for her ) and she just LOVES animals. So happy to see you actually get to spend a good deal of time looking at them.

We didn't have a lot of time to research an apartment in Charlotte after a job offer brought us here from Chapel Hill. After we had signed the lease,we read some unflattering reviews online and got really worried. Happily, NONE of the things in the complaints turned out to be true. The staff and office girls have been 100% helpful and pleasant; the maintenance guys are competent, friendly and have fixed whatever small issue we have had. Neighbors have been quiet and no problem at all!
Thank you so much for your glowing review of Waterford Square Apartments. We are so happy that your experiences while living here have completely nullified the negativity you were worried about. We are always looking for ways to continue to improve upon ourselves so please let us know of anything more that we can do during your stay with us!

When I moved in, the apartment was a mess. The carpet had all been pulled up there was an unbearable, rotten odor in the whole apartment. There was grease splashed all over the kitchen cabinets and it was obvious the apartment was not ready for me.
The ladies in the leasing office were pleasant and worked to get the place move in ready. They knocked off a large part of my pro-in rate as well. Since I've moved in, they've replaced my oven and fridge and I haven't had many problems since.
Thank you so much for your review of Waterford Square Apartments! We'd like to apologize for all of the inconveniences you experienced at move in but we are so glad that everything was resolved and that you were pleased with the results. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to better your experience while living at Waterford Square Apartments!

The apartment is nice, but there have been times when maintenance hasn't responded as quickly as I would have liked. Our rent has increased every year that we have lived here and one of the years t increased by $100 - this is a huge increase. We will probably move out when our current lease is up because I am paying the maximum that I would ever want to pay for this little square footage.
We are so sorry to hear that your experience with us has been less than satisfactory. We strive to make our residents happy while living here at Waterford Square. While renewal increases are a necessary evil of apartment living we are always looking for ways to justify the rates we ask our residents to pay. If there is ever anything that we are capable of doing to make our residents happy we try to go above and beyond. Our goal is that our residents experience a long and happy stay with us.

To participate in Housing Selection 2014, all students must pay a Room Reservation deposit of $250.00. The payment is made directly to Student Administrative Services Center. This secures a spot to participate in Housing Selection process.
The $250.00 Supplemental Room Reservation Deposit is due by 5:00 p.m. Monday, April 28, 2014.
All students need to complete the fall 2014 course registration by Wednesday, May 7, 2014, or housing assignment may be forfeited
Housing Deposit ($150): The Housing Deposit is typically paid upon a student's initial request to live on campus. MOST students who currently live on campus have paid this deposit and should not have to pay this prior to Housing Selection 2014.
Room Reservation Deposit ($250): The Room Reservation is required for all students wishing to participate in any aspect of Housing Selection 2014. When the student is billed for their housing in the fall, the $250 will be credited back to the student's account toward the cost of the room assignment. A student looses this room reservation deposit if they choose or are placed into an assignment during any part of the Housing Selection process and then decide not to live on campus for the fall term.
Housing Application: The Housing Application is available online, via the student's self-service account, within 24 hours (or the next business day) of the room reservation deposit applied to a student's account. This application must be completed in order to participate in Housing Selection 2014.

Our collective hunting and fishing heritage goes back thousands of years, it's in our DNA. These traditions carry on today and are part of the fabric of that is America. We provide of $70 billion dollars to the economy annually . To put that in context, Sportsmen and women would be the 11th biggest corporation in America. At $1.6 million jobs hunters and anglers support more jobs than the country's largest employer, Wal-Mart. These are sustainable, non-exportable jobs that matter. Fishing and hunting are also very important to wildlife conservation through sportsmen's dollars and volunteer time and effort.
In order to insure that our traditions and the strong economic driver persist, it's important that we engage the next generation of hunters and anglers. NWF actively supports connecting young children to hunting and fishing through our programs, affiliates, government lobbying, and national partners.
Wildlife Nation is an on-the-ground and online community of cause that empowers and supports adults in getting kids outdoors in nature and building in them an appreciation for wildlife.
The Fishing Campaign is one of the ongoing action areas of Wildlife Nation. Each campaign offers unique opportunities to connect kids with wildlife, and brings together individual team actions to make the collective impact of the Wildlife Nation community much greater.
Children today spend an average of 7.5 hours per day in front of a screen. This means that children are getting outside less, and as a result missing critical experiences in nature or around wildlife. A decreasing number of hunters and anglers poses many threats, including:
Whether it's youth waterfowl days, summer camps, or fishing exhibitions, NWF and our affiliates are committed to the next generation of hunters and anglers. However, we depend on families, mentors, friends, and communities to encourage youth further to take advantage of the numerous resources available to access the outdoors. Plan a fishing trip, sign up for hunter education, make time for summer camp, start your own family sportsmen tradition, or get involved with youth hunting and fishing programs in your area.

The Department of Africana Studies provides an undergraduate education that draws from the intellectual heritage, accumulated knowledge, enduring experiences and contributions of Africa and its diaspora. Through multi- and interdisciplinary methodologies, students acquire knowledge in ways that help them build their analytical and critical thinking skills. Students are helped to use their knowledge and experiences to prepare for graduate study in a variety of fields and for rewarding careers that will enhance the quality of their lives and contribute to the development of their communities.
Students may pursue the standard major in Africana studies or a concentration in a track. Many students find it productive to combine Africana studies with another discipline in a dual major. Students also may minor in Africana studies. Students who select the major or double-major in Africana studies have the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge through internships or field research.
Career and Academic Paths
Majors in Africana studies have continued on into graduate and professional schools and built successful careers in many fields, including public affairs, law, health, government, social work, education, the visual and performing arts, and business and management. Many students planning careers in medicine, law, public policy, social work and education pursue a second major or a minor in Africana studies. Students with interest in foreign service in Africa and the Caribbean or students who intend to acquire graduate training with specialization on Africa or the Caribbean will be well-prepared in the department. The concentration in community involvement studies prepares students to work in community-oriented, community-based agencies or in local government. The track in education enables students with career interest in elementary-and secondary-level teaching to prepare for Maryland Teacher Certification in social studies through the UMBC Department of Education.
Major Program
Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Africana Studies consist of 36 credits for the standard major and 30 credits for the double major. A grade of "C" or better is required for all courses in the major. Courses intended to count toward the fulfillment of the major may not be taken on the P/F option.
I. Standard Major
In addition to the normal general education requirements, all majors are required to complete 36 credit hours of study distributed as follows:
A. Core Requirements (15 credits)
- AFST 100 Introduction to the Black Experience
- AFST 201 Introduction to Methodology and Research in AFST Studies
- AFST 211 Introduction to Contemporary Africa
- AFST 261 Black Literature: 20th Century
- AFST 271 Introduction to Community Involvement
B. Additional Requirements (15 credits)
Choose from among the remaining 300- to 400-level courses, of which at least six credits must be from both of the following two categories:
- African history and politics;
AFST 312-326, 368, 411, 415, 430-440 - African-American culture and experience;
C. Individual study and directed research for a senior paper or project (6 credits)
II. Major With Concentration in Community Involvement Studies
In addition to the normal general education requirements, this AFST option requires the following:
A. Core Requirements (15 credits)
- AFST 100 Introduction to the Black Experience
- AFST 201 Introduction to Methodology and Research in AFST Studies
- AFST 211 Introduction to Contemporary Africa
- AFST 261 Black Literature: 20th Century
- AFST 271 Introduction to Community Involvement
B. Additional Requirements (15 credits)
AFST 301, 377, 378 and six credits selected from the following:
AFST 272-299, 350, 371-375, 381-399 and 471-489.
Twelve of the 15 credits must be at the 300-400 level.
C. AFST 490 Community Internship Project; (6 credits)
III. Double Major
The foundation core requirements are the same as for the standard major. In addition, nine upper-level credits must be completed. Those who choose the double major must complete six credits of individual study and directed research for a senior paper or community internship project.
Students who opt for the double major must meet requirements for the double major requirements in the second department of their choice. They should make selections of courses in both departments in close consultation with their advisors in both departments.
To earn a minor in Africana studies, a student must complete 18 credits in Africana studies. The courses selected to fulfill the requirements of the minor must include nine credits of introductory-level courses. The other nine credits will be earned in upper-level courses of the student's interest and selection. A minimum grade of "C" must be earned in each course counting toward the minor.
A. Core Requirements (9 credits)
- AFST 100 Introduction to the Black Experience
- AFST 206 African-American History: A Survey
- AFST 211 Introduction to Contemporary Africa
B. Additional Requirement (9 credits)
Nine credits of upper level AFST courses
Transfers and Other Majors in the Upper Division
If a student successfully has completed 60 or more credit hours at the time of declaring the major, the core requirements in Africana studies may be substituted with equivalent courses completed elsewhere, subject to approval by the student's AFST advisor and the department's chairperson.
Interdisciplinary Studies Major
In addition to the major options in Africana studies, a student may choose to complete the major through the Interdisciplinary Studies Program. Full descriptions of the options offered by the INDS major can be found in the catalog under Interdisciplinary Studies.
Generally, students learn comparatively little about the black experience in elementary and secondary schools. Through Africana studies, they find the opportunity to benefit from courses offering broad perspectives on the history and culture of black peoples. For students planning careers in public service (including education, health-related professions, environmental management, law and social services), an exposure to the values and dynamics of black society and culture is indispensable. In addition to AFST 100, other lower-level courses in Africana studies are highly recommended to all students for the purpose of fulfilling the general foundation requirements. Through mutual cooperation, many of the courses in Africana studies are cross-listed with other departments in the humanities and social sciences, thus offering students several electives for completing their graduation requirements.
Honors Program
Qualified students may enroll in the department's honors program. This is an intensive program of seminars, workshops, research and independent study. It emphasizes the development of critical thinking and leadership skills. Information and application forms are available in the department office.
Special Opportunities
The department encourages and assists students to pursue internships focused on community involvement in urban development, health, education, justice, business and industry.

To the editor: This week, I sent an e-mail to Sen. Kay Hagan regarding an individual problem I was having with a U.S. Government agency. I was seeking her assistance.
What I got back was a computer-generated form letter thanking me sharing my thoughts and opinions.
This reaffirms my fear our elected officials do not represent the people whom they are supposed to. Your individual calls will fall on deaf ears. If you don't believe me, e-mail her and see if you too don't just get a cold, non-caring form letter back.

There is a LOT of competition with nature these days: technology (computers, video games, TV); more buildings, cars and roads; fear of strangers; parental attitude; fear of pests. The list could go on forever. For kids, boundaries are smaller, and the freedom to roam is diminished.
People have always had a fear of the unknown, and throughout history nature has often been included in that. The difference now is that collectively as a society, we know more about what's out in nature, but when we get down to the individual level the understanding isn't always there.
During my time as a naturalist and informal educator I observed fear of pests (among other things) first hand. I will never forget the mother who asked me if her children "could catch ticks" from being in the long grass where we were building our fort (having fun!). When I told her it was possible, but not likely as ticks were long past their peak, she immediately wanted to take her kids home and away from the fun they were having. I did not mention to her that it was also possible to "catch ticks" in her backyard...
I do not discount the fears and worries of parents - our world is a dangerous place! Or, at least it can be. One of the great things about D2D is that it gives youth some knowledge and the tools they need to navigate through a number of those fears and dangers in a way that empowers them, instead of doing all the work for them. In my opinion, spending time in nature is a huge part of the way humans learn. It is a way for children to gain confidence, build coordination skills, test the physical capabilities of their own boundaries, and learn what is acceptable socially.
It has been so wonderful watching all of this happening through your stories with the youth from D2D. One of my greatest pleasures in working with this project is seeing the impact it has had on all of our youth participants. The investigations youth do may be directed by them (with guidance, of course), but their passion was sparked by all of our wonderful adult leaders. And I know that many of these youth will grow up with a much larger appreciation for more than just birds or monarchs.
All of their experiences are in no small way thanks to all of you. They will remember what they did with you, their leaders, for the rest of their lives. I have no doubt that when they are older if they are ever asked "How did you know you wanted to do ____?" the answer will lead back to the season(s) they spent with you learning to identify birds and caterpillar instars, the investigations they developed, and the connections they made with their fellow youth, to science, and to nature.
So I and the rest of the D2D team would like to say THANK YOU to all of the adult leaders, past and present, for helping to create these experiences for children.

Camp kicked off with an ice cream social where the kids drew pictures of their ideal scientists. Those ideal researchers were equipped for anything that nature might throw at them but most importantly they had many tools for observation, recording, analysis and communication so that their results could be validated and shared. After that the students felt well prepared to pack their own tools for the two-week D2D adventure.
Even the parents got into the fun (notice the birds all over Mrs. Kimbrough's dress).
Two scientists visited to share their research process. Allyson Kennedy, a developmental biologist, wondered how vitamin A affects the development of a frog's embryos mouth, so the group helped her come up with some hypotheses and more testable questions to explore. Ecologist, Dr Daniel McGarvey, led an exploration of the creek where the group found macro-invertebrates and wondered how different leaf-litter levels might impact their abundance. Everyone learned a lot about aquatic insects but even more about how interconnected all species are in a habitat and how many variables can impact research.
Over the weekend the students were invited to watch bird-banding at the local MAPS station and one of them (now an apprentice-bander) was tasked with keeping the meticulous records of the station that day. They explained that this decade long collection of carefully recorded information could be analyzed to provide a clear picture of bird migration and habitat change at this site.
While many people might not think much diversity could exist in their small well-manicured lawn or their local park's open space, these spaces actually represent a great opportunity to create insect habitat. By planting native vegetation instead of monocultures or non-native plants, we have a chance to transform these areas into habitat for native insects. Monocultures, such as a typical turfgrass lawn, or spaces with non-native plants don't typically support much insect life. By instead planting native plants that insects have co-evolved with, we can provide a food source for all life-stages of important insects.
Insects are extremely important for our ecosystem, not only for their incredible diversity, beauty, and services such as pollination, but also because they provide a large amount of the world's biomass. Many creatures, ranging from birds to lizards, eat insects, and those creatures are in turn eaten by others. However, in order for there to be insects, they must have a food source. Many insects are specialists that can only feed on a limited number of plant species, typically plants that they have evolved with over long time periods. In addition to serving as a food source and creating native insect habitat, native plants also tend to be adapted for the local climate, meaning that they tend to require less water and maintenance.
While more insect habitat is ideal, even just one or two native plants can make a difference. To start, find out what plants are native in your area. In Minnesota, some of my favorite native plants are liatris, asters, and of course the 13 different MN-native species of milkweed! It is also important to plant native trees, many of which also serve as a host plant for many insects. When purchasing plants, make sure that the plants haven't been treated with systemic pesticides. For more information on the importance of native plants, check out Douglas Tallamy's book "Bringing Nature Home: How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants." Good luck and happy planting!

"What?!" you may be thinking. "Of course these are good learning experiences!"
But experiences alone don't automatically lead to learning. It's the reflection on the experience that generates understanding.
If you are familiar with Experiential Learning, you may recall the mantra "Do, Reflect, Apply." These three words are a simple summation of the process of learning from experiences:
When preparing investigations, hold a "roundtable" in which youth present their research plans to each other. Peers can provide feedback and troubleshoot together. Kristi says this allows youth to sharpen their research skills by analyzing multiple research plans instead of just their own. By doing this throughout the club experience, the youth scientists gain confidence in their science skills and develop ownership in all of the club's projects.
As you hold your club meetings, be sure to allow time for reflection throughout the experience. Ask questions about what the youth say and do during these moments, and listen closely to their answers. As that reflection time helps youth scientists make sense of and learn from the fun and interesting experiences they are having, it will be time well spent!
Extension educator, Environmental science education

We hope you have a wonderful summer of citizen science and authentic science inquiry - remember we are here for you!

Experienced leaders use and create a variety of good questions throughout the summer to propel their team members into the inquiry flow. According to a summary of research by Patricia E. Blosser, questions serve a variety of important roles in effective science education:
An educator may ask learners hundreds of questions in the course of teaching. But studies consistently find that they predominately ask learners closed-ended, low-order questions - questions that require learners to recall memorized correct answers. You can improve your teaching by asking more focused, open-ended, and thought-provoking questions. Try the following with youth on your research teams:
Well planned and delivered questions will help you keep your team members in the flow of inquiry. In the words of Cathleen Galas: "A good question leads to more new questions, new discoveries, new realms never even considered before....Teachers should share the excitement of asking questions and finding answers to personally relevant questions."

We love seeing pictures of your research team in action! We especially want to see candid moments, where team members are engaged in interaction or tasks at hand. They might be seemingly unaware of the camera or perhaps glancing at it, but most importantly they're captured "in the moment," authentic -- not posed. Also, think about lighting when you're snapping away. Put the sun at the photographer's back and try to avoid deep shadows on the subject matter. These photos are fun to see, and also help us when it comes time to develop presentations and reports about the project. E-mail pictures to Katie-Lyn Bunney at email@example.com.]]>

Jennings interviews for mayoral endorsement, despite not officially running
ALBANY -- Mayor Jerry
Jennings hasn't decided if he'll seek a sixth term despite interviewing for the
endorsement of the Albany County Democratic Committee. On Saturday, Jennings
left the annual Tulip Festival to join the three candidates already in the race
to discuss their plans for office with committee members.
20 years I can take my time and do what's right as far as I'm concerned I'm
vetting it, I'm looking at it and I'll come to a decision," said Jennings, when
asked why he hasn't made a decision. "I'm still the mayor. There's a process. I'm participating in the process. I'm looking forward to talking with the 15 ward leaders here."
Many candidates' campaigns are well underway after announcing their intention
to run for mayor months ago.
"I announced I was running back in November and we have gone about establishing
a campaign HQ, we've trained 150 volunteers. We already have canvassers out," said
Mayoral Candidate Kathy Sheehan, who currently works as the city's treasurer.
If Jennings decides not to run for a sixth term, Sheehan will face community
activist Marlon Anderson and former 3rd Ward Councilman Corey Ellis,
who lost the 2009 election against Jennings.
"The night of the election I said I would run again so I have the strength and the
will and the passion to represent the city and we believe this time around
we'll talk to a lot of voters we didn't get the chance to talk to last time,"
said Ellis.
The committee is expected to meet Wednesday to announce its endorsement for

We inherited these 10 medicine bottles from our pharmacist father-in-law and they meant a lot to him and us too. I don't have a 'country' decor going at home but want to find a way to use or diplay these. I could hang them on our screen porch and they would be protected, but how to hang them. Or display on a floating shelf? Thanks in advance for your advice or suggestions.

Follow-Up Postings:
Sue_b, maybe wrap copper wire around neck of bottle to hang. If putting on a shelf (maybe as candle holders or vases) you could use that type of stuff they use to keep sculptures and figurines from getting knocked over. Hope this helps. Kim:) |
They might have a lot of value antique -wise! I'd want to put them in an enclosed glass fronted cabinet if I had them on a patio so moisture couldn't ruin the labels. Unique collection & rare to see intact labels! Wonder if he ever used any of that stuff or if that was his collection of antique bottles. Antique forum might give you some insight as to value before you do anything. Jan |

Wow! Lobelia, rhubarb, witch hazel, Mandrake!, myrrh, and something without aloe. Rather an amazing collection. I would love to know how some of these still common plants were used. I too would be concerned about preserving the labels. Maybe take a nice picture of them sitting on an old wooden crate with your black cat in front and sell as a poster. I'm tempted to suggest a shelf above a doorway in your kitchen, but if its like my kitchen they would get dirty. Glass cabinet may be the way to go. Kathy |

I love vintage bottles! Take an old white pillowcase and cut an inch or so, then rip in strips. You have to rip each side as well as the ends, and pull threads which will create the fringe on all 4 sides of the strip. Cut in the length you want. Soak in coffee to 'stain', squeeze excess, smooth with fingers, and let dry. Tie 2 or 3 around each bottle. Tie or sew beads/keys/silk flowers/buttons~~use your imagation~~ at the ends. ;o) |
or a lighted cabinet. I bought a clear corner shelf online and have my bottle collection displayed at the top of my bathroom corner. It looks great and I get lots of compliments. |
Oh, my! Those bottles are great and probably do have some value. Especially since the labels are intact. I'd put them in a china cabinet or somewhere they will be protected. Any site out of the sun or weather. |

Sun Microsystems has purchased MySQL and released Java under the GPL. Chief executive Jonathan Schwartz has also speculated that there could be a future release of Solaris under the GPL, but what would be the implications of such a move?

Great article. This one is worth a read for sure.
I'd love to see Solaris released under the GNU GPLv3.
This would really get the point across to the Open Source fanboys, that Free Software means business.

linux logo+sun logo!
As if the article is about Linux/Solaris :)
GNU logo+ Sun logo would have been a better choce.

I noticed that too.
I made a few GNU logo variations to emphasize the contributions of the GNU project to the success of the web-services giants.

I purchased 50 of these in a group buy and have a few extra. I'd like to sell them for a small profit or trade for other automated parts. I have limited available at this time, but that may increase as two of the members that showed interest originally have not responded once in stock. I would like to ask $42 a piece, or $40 if 5 or more are purchased. They are CR03 wired, which means V+/V- and Signal leads. Items I'm looking for: Chugger pump with SS head Large Enclosure with Backplate 3P Distribution block Relay Board PM me or reply if of interest. Squeeky
Is that price shipped? I'm interested in 5, maybe 6
Shipping would be extra, however if there were enough ordered we would work something out. Really just trying to pass on a deal, my goal was to offer them less then any competitors. I spent over $1,600 on the 50, so trying to make a little off the expense and time for the bulk order. I had 36 of the 50 claimed, but one person wanted 10-12 and has yet to respond to my messages. As for shipping I have just packaged 8 to send to NC and was $9 for UPS ground.
Understood. I think I'll jump on six, shipped to 92064. Let me confirm with my electrical guru in the next day and I'll get Paypal info from ya.
Bitmask and A4J have claimed the available valves for right now. I will update this thread if more become available. I would like to give chancebrewing & mmmbeer a few more days before making the valves available they originally requested.
I'm going to pass on them for now. Sorry, good luck with the sale.
please check shipping to PR 000777 I might take 3 chuckP
how many do you have left?
This is grain, which any fool can eat, but for which the Lord intended a more divine means of consumption. Let us give praise to our maker and glory to his bounty by learning about... BEER.
Well today I picked up some flat rate USPS boxes, I can fit up to 12 valves in the medium box which is $11.35 to ship just FYI for everyone. I am still waiting on PMs from two of the original buyers. It has been over a week and no response so I'm going to assume they are not needed. I don't feel right holding since there was not deposit made, and I have people PMing asking for valves. Therefore I currently have 22 remaining, however I did not expect the interest to be as high as I expected so if it continues I may place another order for resale.
PM sent
