Instacane, a website that aggregates images posted to Instagram with hashtags related to Hurricane Sandy, is back up and running. Created last year by New York Times R&D software architect Peter Ng and now-Facebook engineer Chris Ackermann to chronicle images of Hurricane Irene, it's been flooded once more by people snapping their way through Hurricane Sandy. The site has quickly become a visual portfolio of a dangerous hurricane that's said to be barreling straight for New York and New Jersey.
Photos of an apocalyptic Gotham-style sky looming above New York's skyscrapers are juxtaposed with pics of good-humored folks mugging for the camera next to empty water bottle aisles. It's a pretty holistic portrait of East Coasters preparing for a superstorm.

NYC looks positively post-apocalyptic.

I'm 33 and 16 weeks pregnant with my first child. After my first ultrasound they calculated a risk of 1 in 45 for DS. We had to wait 4 agonising weeks for an amnio and of course, we were besides ourselves with worry, no matter how many times you keep telling yourself there's still only a 2% chance of DS. I had trouble bonding with the baby because it scared me so much. We opted for the amnio because we wanted to be prepared, even though we were going to keep the baby no matter what. Had the amnio a few days ago and yesterday got the results of the FISH test, which showed no abnormalities, and that we're expecting a girl! Now it's just the wait for the final results of the amnio to confirm, but I'm infinitely more calm and am looking forward to the rest of my pregnancy. It's tough, though, isn't it, that worry that's constantly at the back of your mind. I'm wondering if I shouldn't pass the blood test with my next child and go straight for the amnio?posted 02/15/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 39 and we got our results last night that we are 1:43 for DS. Because of my age we knew that there was an increased risk but it is kind of a shock when you hear it. My Dr. then said it is a 2% chance and is sending me to a specialist to do a CVS. We already know that we will keep the baby no matter what, but I feel that if you know ahead of time for any genetic abnormality, then you are better prepared. Sometimes I think that the fear of the unknown is much worse. The whole thing is scary, but I think you just need to stay positive and try to relax.posted 12/29/2010 by nfox13
my risk was 1/5, and the baby came out totally healthy! she is almost 10 months now and i thank God every minute of it.posted 12/04/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Down Syndrome tests are designed to come up positive 5% of the time regardless of the actual presence of Downs, so do not worry just yet. Further testing can be done to make sure. Stay strong!posted 12/02/2010 by smberanek
I know how you are feeling. When I was pregnant with my third child they called me at home and told me that I had tested positive for down syndrome. They were very cold how they told me. I cried on hours on end.I went to my doctors office and they told me that I had a 1:133 chance of having a child with downs. I discussed with my s/o what we would do if the baby was born with downs. We decided to have our baby and love her as we would love our other two children. For six months I was scared. Mind you, ultrasounds and other test were normal. Finally when she was born I could not breathe until I saw her and you know what, she was born healthy without downs. Remember it's all statistical possibilities. Only the amio or the CVS test can give you definate answers God bless!posted 09/07/2010 by Latisha8
well I was worried about the 1/46 chance of down I had the amnio and 14 days later my baby dies inside :"( this is way to hard... I don't know yet what was the result from the amnio, or if it was the amnio the one that causes I don't know anything yet, but I will let you know so maybe it will help..... I don't want this happens to any of you :"(posted 08/25/2010 by chretin
I had that test done also and they told me i was positive for my babe having downs and i hav ebeen scared to death i have to go monday and have a ultrasound done by a speacialist iam so wored ....posted 08/25/2010 by lemonscandie
hello. I'm desperate I just been notice by my doctor that I have 1/46 chances that my baby has down syndrome my doctor schedule me for an amnio for tomorrow, I'm scare and sad :'(posted 08/04/2010 by chretin
I'm 41 and 9 wks along. This is my second pregnancy. I have a 10 year old daughter. I may be in the minority, but I don't feel so certain that I would keep the pregnancy "no matter what" the results were, especially if they were pretty certain that there was some sort of devasting health problem. I am already the full-time step-mother to a 15-year-old profoundly Autistic and retarded child. I realize that none of these prenatal tests can show Autism, but nonetheless, having another child with a severe problem would make an already hard life much harder. I admire those who have the dedication to stick with whatever genetic cards they are dealt. It's not easy to choose to keep a baby that you know will have problems or be in pain their whole life. I'm not being casual or flippant. I'm just saying that when you already have a young man who willl never be toilet trained, cannot speak, bites, kicks, tears things apart, and yells and shrieks all day and night, it's a tough call.posted 07/20/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 38 and today I got a call from my doctor saying that my test for DS came positive. My ratio is 1:123 and I am terrified. Never had the test before with my other two kids (7 and 6) but this time I did it because of my age. Has anyone experienced the same situation? I am supossed to get a Level II US next week but I don't know what to feel right now.posted 07/01/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

The vision for Histropedia is that you can arrive and see all of history on an interactive timeline. Google map style controls will let you see an overview of all time or zoom in to see more detail for any period, while smart filters allow you to refine the timeline by topic and location.
On the way to creating the timeline of everything we will introduce a timeline directory, allowing any topic to be explored from a single search. The directory should launch by the end of 2014 with thousands of readymade timeline imported from Wikipedia categories.
The current beta version of Histropedia is already a powerful timeline creating tool. With over 1.5 million events already in our database you can search for an event and add it to you timeline with a single click. You can also create a new event from any Wikipedia article if it's not already in the database.
Everyone loves Wikipedia, it has become a corner stone of the internet and the starting point for all general knowledge. Our aim is to help people to visualise this amazing resource by displaying it on a fully interactive timeline, giving everyone on the planet the freedom to explore history in the same way that Google maps has allowed us to explore the globe.
Wikidata is a Wikimedia project creating a structured database to support Wikipedia and it's sister projects. By using powerful resource, we are able to create an advanced filter and query system that will allow custom timelines to be created in seconds.
Histropedia is an open platform, designed to allow the world to collaborate and share their historical knowledge. We will achieve this open platform by a) making all the data we import from Wikipedia editable by the public, b) ensuring the site is completely free to use, and c) by publishing all timelines created by users of Histropedia under an open licence so anyone can share them with the world.
The co-founders of Histropedia are lifelong friends Navino Evans and Sean McBirnie. With a passion for learning and sharing knowledge combined with a desire to create software that works and is enjoyable to use we are committed to building a website that people love.
To develop the site we have partnered with the immensely talented software development team Geeks ltd who have been with us from day one. Our lead developer Shayan Elhami and Software architect Paymon Khamooshi have been inspirational throughout the project. By using such talented developers we have created a solid infrastructure that we can continue to build on for many years to come.
Histropedia is an open, collaborative, project and we need your help to make it happen. If you have an interest in history, Wikipedia, Wikidata or open data, this is a project for you. See the links below or get in touch to find out how you can help us create the world's first timeline of everything and help change the way the world learns and discovers history.

Carpenter Technology Provides Update On Expected Second Quarter Results; Expresses Confidence In Underlying Demand Strength For Premium And Ultra-Premium Products
Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE:CRS) today reported that it expects net sales, excluding surcharge, of $431 million for its second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012. This compares to $441 million reported in the first fiscal quarter of 2013, and is 30 percent higher than the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. Carpenter continued to see strong demand for its Premium and Ultra-Premium products sold into the Aerospace and Energy markets, but saw weaker demand in lower value product lines, which were impacted by current economic uncertainty.
Carpenter now expects second quarter earnings per diluted share to be approximately $0.61 to $0.62, which is about 20 percent higher than the prior fiscal second quarter, but below the $0.74 per diluted share reported in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The earnings increase versus Q2 2012 was driven primarily by the acquisition of Latrobe, which is delivering higher than expected synergies, and improved overall pricing/mix actions. The sequential reduction in earnings versus Q1 2013 is due to weaker Performance Engineered Products (PEP) segment performance, softer demand for lower value mill products, and the impact of production balancing within Specialty Alloys Operations (SAO).
"We continue to see strong end-market demand for our Premium and Ultra-Premium products where we remain capacity constrained, and are delivering above target near-term Latrobe synergies," said William A. Wulfsohn, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We also see uncertainty in demand for lower value mill products and are performing below plan in the PEP business segment. Therefore, we currently expect full year operating income improvement of 20 to 30 percent versus our last fiscal year. We are confident in the strategic actions we are taking, and remain on track to deliver our mid-decade earnings target."
The fiscal year 2013 earnings target excludes the anticipated financial impact from selling the Latrobe distribution business, and one-time costs associated with the inventory reduction initiative and footprint optimization actions that will be outlined in further detail during the upcoming investor call.

Starting to think about housing for next year??
Living at Oregon State for another year gives residents access to academic resources, career planning and leadership opportunities designed to help them be a competitive job or graduate school applicant.
Residents return for the convenience of on-campus dining, included utilities and services, and the student community. With more than 350 student clubs, along with all kinds of activities and events happening every day, there are always new friends to make, new experiences to try and new interests to discover. On-campus housing is a diverse and welcoming space where students can feel comfortable in their identities and learn more about others.
Returning residents are leaders in our residential communities, and have the first choice of on-campus housing for next year.
Many returning students plan to live in Halsell Hall, the International Living-Learning Center or the Tebeau Hall in order to live in communities of fellow upperclassmen. However, all 15 residence halls at Oregon State are available to returning students. Read more about our campus living-learning communities and special interest communities.

Audio here.
Until the YouTube video gets uploaded, here's an audio link.
Below, I've put up a partial transcript of what I was saying at the beginning of the show.
Today on the show I'll be joined by Richard Carrier, author of On the Historicity of Jesus, and Chris Johnson, author of the book and upcoming film titled A Better Life. Can't wait!
I apologize for the delay in getting this thread posted, gang. I suppose as I was co-host it was down to me, and I just flaked.
The morality question is one I have always found bizarre that Christians want to turn into tis profoundly difficult and inexplicable concept without bringing a deity into the mix. The thing is, when you back them up against the wall, you find (as I think I did in my line of questioning one caller) that they do not really, deep down, believe that it is impossible for them to understand differences between right and wrong unless they are constantly accompanied by a God, holding their hands like lost children, and telling them at each and every instance "This is right" or "This is wrong."
And yet everything they have been taught to believe insists that they cling to that narrative. So cling to it they do, even after it has been shown to be entirely unnecessary.
I also wish they'd look up what "objective" means. If morality is based on the edicts of a deity, then it's not objective.
Feisty show, anyway.
Post your thinky things below.
On the show I discussed the study published in Psychological Medicine that examined the relationship between religious beliefs and major depression. The prevailing view has been that religious belief provided some protective and/or mitigating effect on major depression. This study puts a serious dent in that view with its conclusion that "These results do not support the notion that religious and spiritual life views enhance psychological well-being."
The study included over 8000 participants in seven countries and found that stronger religious beliefs were correlated with higher risk of depression. You can read the abstract of the study yourself here (unfortunately, you'll have to pay if you want the full article), or you can read Tomas Rees excellent summary here.
Something I neglected to bring up on the show is the implication this research study has on the Army's Spiritual Fitness program. As many of us foxhole atheists have known all along, religious belief is not some magic talisman that wards off depression, PTSD, or other mental health problems that may arise in humans exposed to traumatic events. In spite of this, the Army continues to promote a program that its own statistics show has, at best, had no effect on the suicide rate. At worst, this program may be exacerbating the suicide/depression rate among soldiers, if only by promoting something that doesn't work over things that do work.
Anyway – open thread, so have at it.

Abenaki Outreach Program
The University of Vermont and the Abenaki community have had a long-standing partnership since 1985 through the design of a program known as the "Summer Happening". This program brings up to 24 middle and high school students to the University for two days to experience on campus life and bring the possibility of a college education as a realistic option for these students.
While the Summer Happening was greeted with widespread enthusiasm among Abenaki students and parents, it was still a limited opportunity of short duration. In order to effect genuine systemic change, the Abenaki Tribal Leadership decided to explore more in-depth programming that might benefit Abenaki youth. The Abenaki Outreach Program was developed from the belief that only through sustained ongoing support could Abenaki students truly benefit from the attainment of post-secondary status. The main goals of the program are;
- Develop and coordinate a comprehensive outreach network between the University of Vermont and the Abenaki community of Northwestern Vermont which includes Swanton, Highgate and St. Albans.
- To establish a relationship between students from Northwestern Vermont high schools and their parents with UVM to promote increased parental involvement in post-secondary opportunities.
The UVM/Abenaki Outreach Program's mission is to promote a diverse and respectful environment that embraces social justice, equality, and opportunity for high school Native American students to achieve their potential.
To promote an ethos of community both at Missisquoi Valley Uniton High School and the University of Vermont that provides Abenaki students with critical thinking skills and pride in their culture so tthat they can be leaders in a democratic society.
What we do:
- The uniqueness of the Abenaki Outreach Program is undergirded by a commitment to collaboration whereas the Abenaki Title VII Indian Education Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is focused at all times, on equity of educational opportunity. As such, the PAC seeks out partners who share in the possibility of social justice where all students are afforded the tools to take their place in a democracy.
- Support students academically at Missisquoi Valley Union High School (MVU) through one-on-one tutorials and through the monitoring of course selection and grades.
- Collaborate with parents, students and faculty in the development of increased communication whereby the Abenaki voice is afforded equity of educational opportuntiy.
- Offer post-secondary guidance at UVM and other institutions through individual and group meetings.
- Provide students with college counseling including field trips to UVM as well as assistance with the application process, financial aid, and scholarships.
- Foster students' leadership and growth through curriculum development that nurtures pride and promotes self confidence to become a strong voice on campus and within the community.
- Network with UVM and MVU personnel to form and maintain partnerships between educational facilities and the the Abenaki community.
- Provide a visible presence at MVU and UVM by offering opportunities and learning experiences about the Abenaki community through a variety of cultural and educational activities in order to create an inclusive environment.
Ken Maskell operates the program through offices at the Center for Cultural Pluralism located at the Allen House.

Oil rises above $97 per barrel after brief reprieveBy JONATHAN FAHEY
The Associated Press | February 15,2013NEW YORK The price of oil rose above $97 per barrel Thursday, reversing Wednesdays small drop.
In New York, crude rose 30 cents to finish at $97.31 per barrel. Brent crude, which is used to price oil that many U.S. refineries buy to make gasoline, rose 12 cents to end at $118 per barrel in London.
Crude rose sharply in early January, then began to waver between $95 and $98 per barrel, where it has stayed for the past month.
But just as oil prices began to flatten, retail gasoline prices began to take off. The average U.S. pump price has risen every day since Jan. 18, adding 34 cents over the period. Thursday it rose a penny to $3.63, the highest ever for this time of year.
Americans may be able to offset higher gasoline bills with lower heating and electricity bills. Natural gas futures fell 14.3 cents, or 4.3 percent, to finish at $3.16 per thousand cubic feet, after the Energy Department reported that the nations natural gas supplies remained well above their 5-year average last week.
Oil prices rose despite data showing continuing weakness in the European economy. The eurozone economy shrank by 0.6 percent in the final quarter of 2012 from the previous three-month period, more than the 0.4 percent drop expected by markets, according to Eurostat, the EU statistics office. Germany, Europes largest economy, shrank by 0.6 percent for the period.
Addison Armstrong, an analyst at Tradition Energy, said oil prices have stayed high because investors are using cheap credit brought on by low interest rates to invest in commodities. Also Saudi Arabia has reduced its output somewhat, shrinking world supplies slightly. And the U.S. and Chinese economies appear to be getting healthier.
Armstrong does not expect oil to continue to rise, however, because supplies are ample and demand is about flat. I dont expect well revisit the highs we saw last year, he said. The fundamentals are going to reassert themselves soon.
There is some disagreement on just how much the oil the world economy needs. On Wednesday the Paris-based International Energy Agency lowered its consumption forecast by 85,000 barrels a day compared with data from a month ago. On Tuesday OPEC raised its 2013 forecast for global demand, citing signs of recovery in the global economy.
The IEA expects the world to use 90.7 million barrels of crude oil a day this year. That is 1 million barrels a day more than OPECs estimate of 89.7 million barrels a day.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
Wholesale gasoline rose 8 cents to end at $3.12 a gallon.
Heating oil up about half a cent to finish at $3.22 a gallon.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK The stock market moved lower Friday, snapping four days of gains, as U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Apparently, airline passengers arent buying enough garden gnomes, superhero pajamas...

NBA To Regulate Twitter Usage By Players and Personnel
NBA commissioner David Stern announced last week that the basketball league will be issuing guidelines for Twitter use for its players.
Stern told Yahoo! Sports that the NBA will issue Twitter restrictions for players using the microblogging network.
"You want to make sure that pop culture doesn't intrude on what brought us here, which is the game, and that we show the right respect for the game," Stern said. "We just need to make sure when it's OK to tweet and when it's not OK to tweet, so it, at least, focuses around the game.
"It would look unusual for a guy sitting on the bench to pick up his cell phone, and I think we can agree that he probably shouldn't be writing e-mails," he continued. It's not about Twitter; it's about the line of communication. That's what we're focusing on."
Several players are on Twitter these days, including Shaq, the Cavs' Mo Williams, Oklahoma's Kevin Durant. Orlando's Dwight Howard, the Lakers' Lamar Odom and Derek Fisher, Paul Pierce, the Knicks' Nate Robinson, and Detroit's Charlie Villanueva, among others.
"We're happy to let it play out to see if it merits all the attention that it's getting. We don't want to overreact," Stern explained.
The news comes shortly after the NFL released its own guidelines about social networks like Twitter and Facebook in which players, coaches and operations personnel are restricted from using the sites from 90 minutes before kickoff to the end of traditional post-game media interviews.
Stay tuned for the NBA's restrictions.

Throw back Thursday - what do you miss?
Hi. is there an attraction, ride, show, restaurant, store, food item, or anything that used to be at Disneyland or DCA that is not longer there that you really miss? and if you have a picture to post, then even better !
Country Bear Jamboree and The People Mover. Thanks goodness they are both still in DisneyWorld.
I wish the Tarzan Tree House was still the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House. I grew up watching Swiss Family Robinson and Tarzan really never did much for me.
At least it's still there though. I would be a lot sadder if they took it down rather than just changing it. Oh, and I wish Fort Wilderness was still open on the Island too! |
People movers and the sky buckets. Wish I had pictures.
People Mover. Those Rocket Rods were stupid and never worked. It would have been nice for them to bring back the People Mover.
Kindding....kinda. How about Adventures Thru Innerspace? |
It's funny, but every time I walk by Big Thunder Mtn Railroad. I remember. " if there's a bobcat settin next to you"
It was the old train ride that was there. If you where eating at the old mexican restaurant that was there you heard it over and over. I guess it's the little things. |
swiss family robinson tree house ! gets my vote
Gotta be the People Mover!
Main Street's Electric Parade!!! Also Country Bear Jamboree. I do remember the People Mover being fun when I was a kid, and the sky tram (can't remember what that was called!).
Rocket Rods, provided they actually put money into it and fixed the track issues. It was my favorite ride after the one time I was able to ride it.
Main Street's Electrical Parade! And the Cinnamon Roll French Toast from Carnation Cafe!
Another vote for the Peoplemover! Second would be the Skyway.
I have so many memories of visiting DL with my parents and they are those few rides that really pull at my heart strings. One of those rides that is gone is Country Bear Jamboree. I know that that WDW has this ride and when I visit I do ride it.
Mickey's Nutcracker Show. I used to love it and see it every year.
Main Street Electrical parade. The music is great. Swiss Family Robinson treehouse versus tarzan. It just makes more sense. |

(Lebanon, NH, 11/5/2012) Dartmouth researchers have found that duration of ibuprofen use was associated with a reduced risk of bladder cancer in patients in northern New England, which has a high mortality rate of this disease. In a 2012 collaborative project with the National Cancer Institute, Margaret Karagas, PhD, co-director, Cancer Epidemiology & Chemoprevention program at Norris Cotton Cancer Center, and Professor of Community and Family Medicine at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, and Richard Waddell, D.Sc, Research Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Geisel School of Medicine, looked for connections between ibuprofen use and bladder cancer.
Bladder cancer and ibuprofen use
Karagas did an earlier study on the relationship between bladder cancer and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) usage in New Hampshire. The new study included patients in Vermont and Maine. Researchers enrolled 1,171 participants newly diagnosed with bladder cancer and 1,418 participants who did not have bladder cancer. Karagas also added a genetic component looking at thirty-nine genes related to NSAID metabolism and studied a new class of NSAIDs known as selective cyclooxygenase (COX-2) inhibitors, such as celecoxib (Celebrex). Their results were published in the International Journal of Cancer (June 2012).
Those with specific genetic traits appear to have reduced risk
The findings in the recent study suggest that "regular use of nonaspirin nonselective NSAIDs, particularly ibuprofen, may reduce bladder cancer risk, especially among regular users for 10 years or more." However, the study also notes that observed reduction in risk was specific to individuals carrying a specific allele (or variant of a gene) related to NSAID metabolism.
Findings suggest further study needed for newer prescription pain reliever
For Karagas one of the novel findings was a trend of an increased

Just watched the slightly plump lady feed on the flowers in the yard and occasionally the feeder. I think this is the latest I have had one here in SE Michigan. Had two here last weekend---now just the one. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wow, that is amazing! Send her my way when it's time to go! My feeders are up! We still haven't seen one since Sept 29. Last year we had them through about Oct 20. |
About an hour after I posted, I saw one - from the back so couldn't tell if it was male or female, but looked quite large. SO excited - put all new fresh nectar out, and just now saw another one - a small young male at our feeder just outside our kitchen sink window. |
- Posted by salliestarr 6 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 11, 10 at 18:15
I left my feeders full when I left for a 4 day trip this past weekend. One has definitely been visited here in southwest VA. I am hoping to get another glimpse before the long winter absence. I have hope after reading the above posts from TN. |
