Max and Whitney Losee shared a picture of their awesome wedding cake with us:
Does anyone have a reason why these two should not be married? Neigh!
[Special thanks to Max and Whitney Losee for letting us use a picture of their beautiful cake!]2014 is the Year of the Horse, which makes us even more excited to ring in the new year. Although the Chinese or Lunar New Year doesn't officially begin until January 31st, we'd like celebrate with a little Chap Hop (rapping in a faux-Victorian style) performed by the always awesome Professor Elemental in a video featuring our Creepy Horse Mask:

Novel propargyl-ended heterobifunctional poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) derivatives with hydroxyl, carboxyl, mercapto or hydrazide end groups were synthesized with simplicity yet high efficiency. PEG (Mw = 3500 Da) with an α-hydroxyl group and an ω-carboxyl was used as the starting polymer. The carboxyl group of the bifunctional PEG was modified into a propargyl, then carboxyl, mercapto or hydrazide groups were introduced to the other end of the bifunctional PEG by modifying the bifunctional PEG's hydroxyl group with succinic anhydride, cysteamide or tert-butyl carbazate, respectively. This method can be useful to the development of PEG-based bioconjugates for a variety of biomedical applications.Keywords:

Strength Training & Cardiovascular Training Side By Side: How Does One Affect the Other?
Designing an ideal strength training program for sport in itself can be a complex process. Yet resistance training is only one component of an athlete's overall training regime, which can also include endurance training, speed training, flexibility training and skill / tactical work.
Perhaps the most important element in a total conditioning program is adequate rest and recovery, without which the body cannot adapt properly to the imposed demands.
How does strength training interact with other components of fitness? Does endurance training have a negative effect on strength and power? And does strength and power training negatively effect aerobic power or flexibility?
This article examines the integration of a sport-specific strength training plan into the total conditioning program and how any negative impact of concurrent training can be reduced.
Concurrent Strength & Endurance Training: Effect on Strength
The body adapts specifically to the demands imposed upon it. So what happens when two different modes of training that place different stresses on the body are performed concurrently?
A number of studies have examined the compatibility of simultaneous strength and endurance training (2,3,4,5). In 1980, Hickson (4) found that strength development maybe negatively effected by endurance training. Hunter and co-workers found that over a 12-week period a program of barbell squats only increased leg strength by 39%. This compared favourably to a program of squats and endurance training, which increased strength by just 24% (6).
Similar detriments to strength have been supported by other researchers (7,8). In contrast however, studies have also found that endurance training has no detrimental effect on strength development (9,10,11,12,13). Interestingly, although some of these studies found a negative effect on strength and some didn't, all agreed that concurrent strength and endurance training has no negative effect on endurance.
Strength at high velocities may be more vulnerable to endurance training than strength at slow speeds (5,7,13). This has obvious implications for power and speed performance which may be susceptible if a significant amount of endurance training is undertaken.
Kraemer and fleck (1) suggest that strength and endurance training programs with a moderate amount of volume seem to be compatible with no deleterious effects on either strength or endurance. As the volume increases to that adopted by elite athletes, detriments in strength are more likely to occur. It may be the overtraining phenomenon that is to blame rather than the incompatibility of concurrent strength and endurance training.
Concurrent Strength & Endurance Training: Effect on Endurance
Beginning in the 1970's many runners avoided resistance training for fear that it resulted in a decrease in endurance performance. This was based on studies that found a reduction in mitochondrial density following a resistance training program (14).
Subsequent research has found that strength training does not reduce endurance performance (7,8,9,10,11,12) and mitochondrial density can actually increase as a result of a resistance training program (15).
There is evidence to suggest that strength training is beneficial to endurance performance (16,17,18) in non-athletes. For example, time to exhaustion in a cycle ergometer test and lactate threshold can be increased without any change in VO2max (18).
Strength training may also improve endurance performance in trained athletes. In one study on elite cyclists, 30-second sprint performance decreased with heavy endurance training. By adding resistance training to the program, sprint performance was maintained without any negative effects on endurance (19). Additionally, by substituting 32% of total endurance training in elite distance runners for strength training, 5km performance has been improved significantly (20).
In summary, substantial endurance training may be detrimental to strength and power athletes. In endurance sports, strength training applied correctly appears to have an ergogenic effect without altering VO2max.
Strength Training & Flexibility
The flexibility training section of the site discuses the effect of stretching as part of the warm up. Recent research has found that pnf stretching can hinder vertical jump performance (21). Static stretching may also be detrimental to subsequent power performance (22,23).
These post-stretch decreases in force production may be related to the inactivation of the muscles affected - more so than a change in elasticity often thought to be the cause (24). Evidence that static or pnf stretching immediately prior to power and speed events harms performance is by no means conclusive and studies have also shown it to have no negative effects. The general consensus seems to favor dynamic stretching as part of the warm up and static stretching following exercise or a training session. While the debate continues, how do the long-term adaptations associated with strength training affect flexibility?
One study measuring the effects of 11 weeks of resistance training on range of movement found that ankle dorsiflexion and shoulder rotation both increased without any flexibility training (25). Research in the elderly has found that resistance training alone can in increase performance in the sit and reach test by 13% (26).
While these increases in range of motion can be quite marked in sedentary individuals, the effect of strength conditioning on flexibility in trained individuals is less pronounced. For example, weightlifters posses average to above average flexibility in most joints (27,28,29). This would suggest that long-term physiological changes that occur through lifting weights neither significantly increase nor reduce range of motion.
For athletes, perhaps more important than the extent of flexibility is the ability to control movements within a given range of motion. For example, a martial artist may be able to kick to head height but lack any significant power or control at that joint angle. Strength training and concurrent flexibility training can help to control movements within an athlete's current range of movement (30).

Odd Apocalypse - Dean Koontz
Shared by:Skins1171
Written by Dean Koontz
Read by David Aaron Baker
Format: MP3
Bitrate: 128 Kbps
Once presided over by a flamboyant Hollywood mogul during the Roaring '20s, the magnificent West Coast property known as Roseland is now home to a reclusive billionaire financier and his faithful servants. And, for the moment, it's also a port in the storm for Odd Thomas and his traveling companion, the inscrutably charming Annamaria.
In the wake of Odd's most recent clash with lethal adversaries, the opulent manor's comforts should be welcome. But there's far more to Roseland than meets even the extraordinary eye of Odd, who soon suspects it may be more hell than haven.
A harrowing taste of Roseland's terrors convinces Odd that it's time to hit the road again. Still, the prescient Annamaria insists that they've been led there for a reason. Just how deep and dreadful are the mysteries Roseland and her masters have kept for nearly a century? And what consequences await whoever is brave, or mad, enough to confront the most profound breed of evil? Odd only knows. Like his acclaimed creator, the irresistible Odd Thomas is in top-notch form - as he takes on what may well be the most terrifying challenge yet in his curious career.

Sighting Details
New Years Eve- lit off some fireworks and saw a glowing amber/white light headed directly towards our home. First thought it was a helicopter, or some type of police surveillance for the illegal fireworks, but this flew in a direct flight path and then hovered over our home (and naturally those of our neighbors) for exactly 18 minutes. It did not make a sound. No helicopter, no plane. Not a single sound could be heard. The fireworks had already come to an end, and yet this thing kept hovering overhead. Not a sound. It finally began to move back the way it came. As it flew overhead again, another one appeared from out of nowhere - flew close to the one we had been watching and it too moved in a southern direction for less than 5 seconds when it completely disappeared from sight. The stars are visible, even aircraft are visible, there is no cloud coverage - and this glowing orb flew directly towards us, hovered for 18 minutes, then went back the way it came. We have not been drinking, are not on drugs - we're in our 60's. We simply went out on our back patio to watch the fireworks and listen to the revelers. It was the strangest sensation to watch this glowing 'thing' flying directly towards us - and as I said, it didn't make a sound. It just hovered overhead. It wasn't even flying at the altitude a helicopter or single engine plane would fly. It felt as though it were very close. We felt kind of uncertain - like what's our government up to now? But as we watched it move back in the direction it came - another one appeared from out of nowhere - came close to the one we were watching - and then vanished. We kept our eye on the one that hovered over our home - until it seemed it to be at least a mile or so away and then it too vanished from sight. The lights were very obvious when it was coming towards us, and when it was leaving. We never took our eyes off it - and then it simply vanished. Was thinking it might be a drone, but reading the postings from those on the east coast, leaves one to wonder what's going on. |

This is a game changer. As we look into all we will want to do with a device for our 1:1 initiative, being able to screencast was a priority. Student being able to demonstrate mastery by teaching others a specific skill online is essential to our technology platform. This helps tip the scale a bit toward the ChromeBook side.

Title: 6 ways to be a better global citizen Author: Matt Hershberger Date: January 1, 2014 Main idea: It's about six ways to become a better global citizen when you're visiting another country, state, or city. Summarize the article: 1. You should travel sustainably by traveling by bike, walking, kayaking, or sailing. 2. Learn about the items you buy by checking out the company and if it was ethically made. 3. Read or listen to things that are happening around the world by watching TV, going on the internet, and listening to podcasts. Opinion/POV: Yes, there's an opinion/POV because the author is giving everybody his tips on how to be a better global citizen. His tips are different from the rest of the world's. Question: I don't have a question for the article. Is this article important to science? Why? I think it is important to science because if you learn about the other countries and the events that take place, you could be informed about new discoveries, research, etc. Source: http://matadornetwork.com/change/6-ways-to-be-a-better-global-citizen-in-2014/

Hmmm....again, some good things here, but much of this seems directed at business pitch-type presentations. For example, this lists data-rich presentations as something you should avoid. You need to FOCUS and EMPHASIZE data rich presentations. |

Monica Ali
Monica Ali | |
Born | Dhaka, East Bengal (now Bangladesh) |
20 October 1967
Occupation | Writer, novelist |
Nationality | British |
Ethnicity | Bengali-English |
Education | Philosophy, Politics and Economics |
Alma mater | Wadham College, University of Oxford |
Spouse | Simon Torrance |
Children | Felix (son) Shumi (daughter) |
Monica Ali (born 20 October 1967) is a Bangladeshi-born British writer and novelist. In 2003 she was selected as one of the "Best of Young British Novelists" by Granta magazine based on her unpublished manuscript; her debut novel, Brick Lane, was published later that year. It was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. It was adapted as a 2007 film of the same name.
She has published three additional novels.
Early life and education[edit]
Ali was born in Dhaka, East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) in 1967 to a Bangladeshi father and English mother. When she was three, her family moved to Bolton, England. Her father is originally from the district of Mymensingh.[1] She went to Bolton School and then studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Wadham College, Oxford.
Brick Lane[edit]
Brick Lane – named after Brick Lane, a street at the heart of London's Bangladeshi community – follows the life of Nazneen, a Bangladeshi woman who moves to London at the age of 18, to marry an older man, Chanu. They live in Tower Hamlets. At first her English consists only of "sorry" and "thank you;" the novel explores her life and adaptations in the community, as well as the character of Chanu, and their larger ethnic community.
The Observer described Chanu as "one of the novel's foremost miracles: twice her age, with a face like a frog, a tendency to quote Hume and the boundless doomed optimism of the self-improvement junkie, he is both exasperating and, to the reader at least, enormously loveable."[2] Geraldine Bedell wrote in The Observer that the "most vivid image of the marriage is of her [Nazneen] cutting her husband's corns, a task she seems required to perform with dreadful regularity. [Her husband] is pompous and kindly, full of plans, none of which ever come to fruition, and then of resentment at Ignorant Types who don't promote him or understand his quotations from Shakespeare or his Open University race, ethnicity and class module."[3]
The novel was well received by critics in the United Kingdom and the United States, and shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.
The novel provoked controversy within the Bangladeshi community in Britain. Some groups thought Ali had negatively portrayed people from the Sylhet region, as they constitute the majority of the Bangladeshi immigrants living in the Brick Lane community.
Film adaptation[edit]
In 2007, the book was adapted as a film of the same name. Starring the Indian actress Tannishtha Chatterjee, the film was distributed both in the UK and internationally.
When production was underway in 2006, some of the Bangladeshi community opposed Ruby Films' intention to film parts of the novel in the Brick Lane area. They formed the "Campaign Against Monica Ali's Film Brick Lane."
The writer and activist Germaine Greer expressed support for the campaign, writing in The Guardian:
"As British people know little and care less about the Bangladeshi people in their midst, their first appearance as characters in an English novel had the force of a defining caricature ... [S]ome of the Sylhetis of Brick Lane did not recognise themselves. Bengali Muslims smart under an Islamic prejudice that they are irreligious and disorderly, the impure among the pure, and here was a proto-Bengali writer with a Muslim name, portraying them as all of that and more."[4]
Greer criticised Monica Ali's "lack of authenticity," as she had never spent much time in the Brick Lane community, and no longer spoke the Bengali language fluently. The writer Salman Rushdie criticised Greer for getting involved, saying that her statements were "philistine, sanctimonious, and disgraceful, but ... not unexpected."[4]
Ali opposed the British government's attempt to introduce the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006. She discussed this in her contribution to Free Expression Is No Offence, a collection of essays published by Penguin in 2005.
Personal life[edit]
Ali lives in South London with her husband, Simon Torrance, a management consultant. They have two children, Felix (born 1999) and Shumi (born 2001).

WASHINGTON, D.C. The Air Force fired the general in charge of its nuclear missiles on Friday, two days after a Navy admiral with top nuclear weapons responsibilities was sacked. Both men are caught up in investigations of allegations of personal misconduct, adding to a cascade of turmoil inside the nation's nuclear weapons force.
The Air Force removed Maj. Gen. Michael Carey, a 35-year veteran, from his command of 20th Air Force, responsible for all 450 of the service's intercontinental ballistic missiles. Carey, who took his post in Wyoming in June 2012, will be reassigned pending the outcome of a probe into personal misbehavior, the service said.
The Air Force would not specify what Carey is alleged to have done wrong, but two officials with knowledge of the investigation indicated that it was linked to alcohol use.
They said it was not related to the performance or combat readiness of ICBM units or to his stewardship of the force.
Removing senior officers in the nuclear force is rare but has happened twice this week.
On Wednesday the Navy said Vice Adm. Tim Giardina, the second-in-charge at U.S. Strategic Command, was fired amid an investigation of gambling issues. He was demoted from three- to two-star rank and reassigned to a Navy staff job until the investigation is completed.
Air Force Gen. Robert Kehler, the nation's most senior nuclear commander as head of U.S. Strategic Command, called the Carey and Giardina matters "unfortunate behavioral incidents."
In a telephone interview from his headquarters near Omaha, Neb., Kehler said he told Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, on Thursday that the two cases had not shaken his confidence in the force.
"I still have 100 percent confidence that the nation's nuclear deterrent force is safe, secure and effective." He added that "this is something that has been on their minds as well," referring to Hagel and Dempsey.
"You are going to have to make your own judgment when all the facts come out on these two particular cases, but I can say this: In these cases, this ultimately had to do with a loss of confidence" in the men "as a result of certain behavior."

RANSHAW - James Jones was expecting a higher electric bill because of recent cold weather.
But $1,881.50?
"I couldn't believe it when I saw that," Jones said. "That might be the biggest bill I've ever seen."
Jones is among the consumers who signed up for a variable-rate plan for the generation and transmission of his electricity and ended up with an outrageous bill.
Jones, who owns a double-home and said he's careful about his energy use, said he shopped around before choosing Pennsylvania Gas and Electric, which, at the time, offered a rate lower than PPL at 7.4 cents per kilowatt hour (kwh). Plus, the company offered a $50 Visa gift card if Jones remained a customer for a year.
But when the fixed rate expired on Jones' contract after what he thinks was a year, the rate jumped to 28 cents per kwh for January - a nearly 400 percent increase.
At 7.4 cents, his bill for January would have been $483.81.
Not the only one
Jones is not alone. State Attorney General Kathleen Kane, the Public Utility Commission (PUC) and the state consumer advocate's office are handling about 1,500 complaints accusing suppliers of price gouging and other questionable business practices.
The PUC said, however, that as long as electricity suppliers act in accordance with their contract, consumers have little recourse.
Richard Hudson, state chairman of the Retail Energy Supply Association, told the Scranton Times-Tribune the price spikes could be attributed to the market and cold weather, not any wrongdoing.
However, wholesale prices have remained stable, as evidenced by PPL's price to compare, the standard for energy prices. Effective Saturday, the price for the next three months was set at 8.75 cents per kwh, which is unchanged from the previous three months.
The PUC told Pittsburgh's Action News 4 that Pennsylvania Gas and Electric is named in half of all the complaints it has received about high electric bills this winter.
'Buyer beware'
Teri MacBride, PPL Electric regional community relations director, said the utility company encourages customers to shop for electricity, but it's a matter of "buyer beware." The option for Pennsylvanians to shop for an electricity supplier has been available since the industry was deregulated in 2010.
"There are 670,000 PPL consumers who have shopped for electricity, the highest percentage of any company in the state," MacBride said.
She encourages everyone to use the PUC's site, PaPowerSwitch.com, to shop for energy. Consumers should beware that a good deal now may not stay that way with a variable-rate plan, she said.
Bill reduced
Jones, like other consumers, still pays PPL for all of his electricity charges. He pays on the budget plan, so his $1,881.50 bill will be spread out.
Still, he has spoken to someone at Pennsylvania Gas and Electric and has made some progress. He will be billed for February at the original 7.4-cent rate and the company said they'd send a $610 settlement check to put toward his huge January outlay.
"I will wait and see about that," said Jones, who hasn't yet received the check.
But he has also switched suppliers after finding one on the PUC site that offers a fixed rate.
"My advice to anyone shopping is to look for a company with fixed rates and no cancelation fees," he said.

90210 has cast two new players, and both will play significant roles in the life of Naomi.
First: Justin Deeley will come on board as Austin, the son of a country music superstar who has looks, money... but not the kind of attitude that typically accompanies either.
Next: while Naomi is swooning over Austin, she'll be fighting with Megalyn Echikunwoke's Holly. Pretty much the opposite of Deely's character, Holly is rich and snooty and is the head of the top sorority at CU.
It will be a busy season, as always, for Naomi.
This will be Deely first extended role of any kind, while Echikunwoke has appeared in CSI: Miami and Raising the Bar.
Earlier this week, the series cast Kristina Apgar as a love interest for Liam.

ST PETERSBURG, Russia, June 21 (Reuters) - Major private equity and sovereign wealth funds on Thursday took tentative first steps to invest in Russia, praising efforts to break the economy's fixation on energy and become a more diversified, open and less risky place to invest.
At a forum used by President Vladimir Putin to court foreign capital, sovereign wealth fund the Kuwait Investment Authority said it struck a $500 million deal to invest alongside the $10 billion state-backed Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF).
The RDIF fund, set up to partner with private equity and sovereign funds and give them comfort about committing money, also announced that it will launch a pre-IPO program with a consortium of investors - BlackRock, Goldman Sachs and Franklin Templeton. They will target Russian companies planning to IPO on the Moscow stock exchange MICEX-RTS.
"Russia is no longer addicted to oil resources. We see research developing and growing, science and industrial parks, which is very good for attracting investors," said Lou Jiwei, chairman and CEO of Chinese sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corp, which oversees $410 billion.
CIC has also set up a venture with Russia to invest in Russian and Chinese enterprises.
Putin, who had his first face-to-face meeting with major investors since his election to a six-year term in March, said the deals would "give fresh impetus to the Russian investment market."
Perceived as a corrupt country where the rule of law is lacking, Russia has been trying to improve its image and boost foreign investment.
Giant private equity funds such as TPG Capital and Apollo said they had seen noticeable differences in Russia and stated their interest in doing further business in the country.
"We at TPG have been the only major global firm that has done any deals in Russia in the last decade - they've all turned out well," said David Bonderman, the head of TPG.
"Doing business here is easier than you think from the press reports," said Bonderman, who has an undergraduate degree in Russian from the University of Washington and created a fellowship program to sponsor hard-up students keen to travel and expand their horizons.
TPG has invested in Russian bank VTB Capital and supermarket chain Lenta.
Foreign investors have been searching for growth in developing economies as the mature U.S. and European economies slow.
A recent Ernst & Young survey showed increased appetite among foreign private equity firms to invest in Russia. According to the survey of more than 150 investors, 48 percent of respondents said they expected to increase acquisition activity in Russia in the next year as opposed to 25 percent six months previously.
"We look at Russia with a list of real pluses but also negatives," said Leon Black, who heads up U.S. private equity fund Apollo. Black said Apollo had done one successful investment in the 1990s but since then has not done much in the country.
"On the plus, its blessed with unbelievable natural resources, also it has a low level of debt, low unemployment, nice growth (and) strong leadership. On the negative, there are areas of antiquated infrastructure, a certain amount of burocracy, and then there's the whole question of rule of law and the judicial process."
Sergei Ivanov, the head of Putin's presidential administration, said while there are some positives and negatives to the economy, "what is most important is we need a stable environment, predictable policy, and I'd like to assure you we're using this course."

You've seen some of the delights this non-river has to offer, here's a mystery vessel I've seen twice, once at dusk and the other time just before a major thunderstorm. It has a black hull, natural wood superstructure, and twin masts complete with one set of shrouds. I've increased the contrast so that details are more visible.
Anyone identify? Is it mass produced or a one-off? An antique? If I indulge my fantasizing, I can imagine it could be a contemporary version of the Flying Dutchman.

i heard that the name was CHRISTINA and that she had been converted from a fishing vessel for some sort of floating attraction….possibly in Philly. Have not found anything about her in any registries.

The truest answer to violence is love. The truest answer to death is life. The only prevention for violence is for the heart to have no violence within it. We cannot prevent evil through any system devised by mankind. But we can grapple with evil and defeat it, but only with love—real love.

Schalke holds Bayern 1-1 in BundesligaBy Ciaran Fahey ,AP September 1, 2014, 12:03 am TWN BERLIN -- Schalke captain Benedikt Hoewedes equalized to give his side a 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Saturday, denying Xabi Alonso a win on his debut for the German champions.
World Cup winner Hoewedes bundled the ball over the line in the 62nd minute as Alonso's desperate attempt to clear came back off the Schalke defender's left arm. Referee Marco Fritz felt the contact was unintentional and the goal was given despite Bayern protests. "It wouldn't have been a goal if his arm wasn't there," said goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who conceded for the first time against his former club since switching sides in 2011. Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring in the 10th after carving open the Schalke defense with Sebastian Rode. Ralf Faehrmann had already made crucial saves from Thomas Mueller and Lewandowski before the Polish striker scored. The 32-year-old Alonso, who joined from Real Madrid the day before, impressed as Bayern dominated early on but Schalke gradually improved and finished the game strongly. "We didn't control ball possession after the first 25 minutes and that was the problem," Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said. "You have to have ball possession." A botched clearance from Neuer went unpunished before the break, as Kaan Ayhan was unable to direct his shot on target with the goalkeeper stranded. Jerome Boateng kept Schalke's attack in check after interval, before the former Hertha Berlin defender had to go off with an injury on the hour. Both sides attacked in a frenetic finale but neither could claim the win. "You're annoyed when you're leading 1-0 and you don't finish the job," Mueller said. Earlier, Bayer Leverkusen twice came from behind to defeat Hertha Berlin 4-2 Saturday and maintain its winning start, while newly promoted Paderborn claimed its first ever win in the Bundesliga. Leverkusen went behind in the 24th when Tin Jedvaj deflected Julian Schieber's cross into his own goal. The 18-year-old Jedvaj made up for his mistake by equalizing in the 50th, only for Schieber to put Hertha ahead again in the 60th with his third goal in two games. Leverkusen defender Emir Spahic equalized two minutes later with a header from Hakan Calhanoglu's free kick and Julian Brandt scored on a rebound in the 74th when Karim Bellarabi's effort came back off the crossbar. Bellarabi, who scored the league's fastest goal in nine seconds against Borussia Dortmund last week, sealed the result with a fine volley from Calhanoglu's cross in the 86th.

Cardiovascular complications of acute cocaine poisoning: a clinical case report. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 15258626 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
We present a case of an accidental cocaine overdose with various cardiovascular and neurological complications and ECG features of Brugada syndrome. It is imperative that clinicians know how to recognise and manage the symptoms of cocaine overdose because of the exceedingly rapid progression of the 'cocaine reaction' to a fatal outcome. |
