I liked the grab handle, you can never have too many ways to move your bike around in muddy races or bad spots. I think the tugger straps are the best way to make sure you can grab it with either hand from the top of rear fender but you get more leverage from lower down where the moose handle mounts. I'd get both on my bike to always have an easy, quick way to grab it.Read All Reviews

always bought acerbis thought I would try polisport wrong they just aren't right. they don't line up right. from now on I will stick with acerbisRead All Reviews
Jim in CA
This attaches quickly to existing bolt locations and makes a convenient grab handle for picking up the tail of the bike. I was stumped at first as I thought you should be able to lift the back of the bike up but the mounting location is too far forward for good leverage. Then a buddy showed me how to use the handle to pivot the bike on it's kickstand--ingenious!Read All Reviews

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
I started playing this one during BETA and I absolutely LOVED it. The problem was, when it launched, it began changing overnight. First they messed up the coin system, not station cash, the in game gold, then well things went downhill from there, they changed everything I really loved about the game and now it has turned into a game that is stupidly easy and is more for kids to socialize with other kids. During BETA I woulda given it a 5 star rating but now, it is only because of the fun I did have playing it once upon at time that I do not give it a rating of 2 stars

This BBC program from last summer (it aired last September on BBC America) follows the lives of three people who work for an newly created television news program at the BBC in 1956. While I did find it to be a bit slow in parts for a 6 episode series, I enjoyed watching the whole of it - especially the ending (no spoilers here, though). 'The Hour' is the name of the news program created within the show that attempts to challenge the then BBC standard of merely promoting the government's official viewpoint on current events. The plot also revolves around the mysterious death of a friend of the young journalist played by Ben Whishaw. He is, as usual, amazingly good in this, as are the two other leads; Romola Garai, who plays the head producer of the program, and Dominic West, the not-quite-ready-for-prime-time head anchor. If you are at all familiar with BBC programming, many of these shorter series can be standalone pieces, usually with all the episodes written by the same author (This one is actually coming back for a second series sometime later in 2012). The show creator here, Abi Morgan, seems to be an up-and-coming writer for theater, television, and film. Much of the newsroom work on the program gives some insight into Suez Crisis of the period, which I found interesting. For those not necessarily keen on a fictionalized history lesson, there is both a romance angle between several of the characters and some post-WWII, early Cold War espionage spy stuff going on here too. If you enjoy more modern-set period dramas of the BBC, give this one a try.
It's 2011, there have been a series of deaths, they don't seem related to the police and this is what Scotland Yard is saying at their press conference. Suddenly there is the sound of cell phone after cell phone notifying each reporter and officer in the room they have received a text. It consists of one word only, "Wrong." No it is not an admission from a super criminal, it's Sherlock Holmes. The case is interesting and the game is afoot. Steven Moffat , the current producer of BBC's Doctor Who, has brought Sherlock into the 21 Century and he fits in very well indeed. Read more »
I'm in the middle of season one of Nurse Jackie. This is a television show about the day-to-day life of Jackie Peyton who is a nurse in New York's All Saints' Hospital. This television show is half drama and half comedy. I don't recognize any of the actors except for Eli Wallach (Wall Street) but they are very convincing in their roles. There's quite a bit of blood and visual depictions of traumatic incidents that may bother some viewers but if you can handle that then you'll enjoy it. What keeps me hooked on the show is trying to understand Peyton's character. She's a complex union of opposite characteristics. She's happily married but having an affair. She counsels on addiction but is addicted to codeine. She's nice and shows exemplary compassion towards her patients except for the ones she hates. She's definitely a complex person. Read more »

Based on the book by Stephen Ambrose, Band of Brothers is a 10 part mini-series focusing on Easy Company of the 101st Airborne division of the Army during WWII. This true story follows the young men who volunteered to join this division from basic training through the end of the war. Easy Company took part in some of the most intense battles of the war, including the D-Day invasion of Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge. The length of the mini-series allows focus on historical detail and procedures, as well as an in-depth look at the varied responses of the men to the horrors of war- running the gamut from fear and compassion to confusion and cruelty.

As an Indiana native and someone who finds bureaucracy ridiculous, Parks and Recreationconsistently tickles my funny bone.
The key for me is Amy Pohler's performance as Leslie Knope. As the deputy director of the parks and recreation department for Pawnee, Indiana her eagerness and honest belief in the system make her as sympathetic as she is funny. The rest of her colleagues have a more realistic view of their positions and their town but either like Leslie enough or are bored enough to help her on her many crusades. Read more »
Dark Skies, one of my favorite mid-90s TV shows, recently came out on DVD. It was one of those shows that I wasn't sure would ever come out on DVD because it seemed like it never developed the sort of cult following that demands that sort of thing. As it turns out, there was a cult following that show, I just never came across it. Read more »
Winnebago Man, a documentary about one director's search for his favorite YouTube sensation, begins with said sensation, Jack Rebney, yelling at the director to just leave him alone. This is an interesting place to start because it kind of sets up the director, the person we'll be following on his journey to find Jack, as a jerk. Lucky for the viewer, this does not end up being the case. Rather, Winnebago Man becomes a humorous exploration of Internet fame and the responsibility of the fan/filmmaker. Read more »

WHILE today's particle colliders and genome projects cost millions, and dozens of names appear on scientific papers, George Johnson gazes back to the ideal of earlier centuries: a gentleman alone in his study, using home-made equipment to confront nature. Johnson briskly lays out not the most important experiments ever, but 10 elegant cases where the design and execution are paramount, such as Newton's prisms, Pavlov's drooling dogs and Millikan's floating oil drops. The work, not the scientists, is the focus of this paean for simple science.

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
What if you could make a world-changing impact with one small act? Would you be more inclined to take that first step if you knew your action would gain momentum when aligned with the actions of others?
It might seem daunting for an individual to make big changes in society, but taking that first step can set into motion a series of events culminating in a big result. Entrepreneur Herb Morreale (CompSci '91) has distilled all his thoughts and ideas about how individuals can make an impact for the greater good into what he calls his "domino theory."
At 2:46 p.m. local time on March 11, 2011, the east coast of Japan was rocked by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake.
College In Colorado news release
DENVER - The University of Colorado has teamed up with Denver-based Crowley Foundation to bring 38 high school students from seven Metro Denver high schools to the CU-Boulder campus on April 6 as part of College Friday.
Colorado business leaders remain optimistic going into the second quarter of 2012 suggesting a recovery is taking hold, according to the most recent quarterly Leeds Business Confidence Index, or LBCI, released today by the University of Colorado Boulder's Leeds School of Business.
The University of Colorado Boulder will test the Campus Alerts text-messaging system on Tuesday, April 3, at noon in coordination with the annual flood siren testing, which begins Monday, April 2.
"We're raising awareness that the city of Boulder has the highest risk of flash flooding in Colorado because of its location at the mouth of Boulder Canyon, the number of people who live and work within the Boulder Creek floodplain, and the numerous other drainage basins running through the city," said Lacey Croco, CU-Boulder emergency manager.
Ten high school students from Denver, Thornton and Lyons are likely in for an experience of a lifetime when a University of Colorado Boulder law professor takes them to Washington, D.C., for a moot court competition March 29-April 1.
While there, they also will meet with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and tour the Supreme Court, meet with U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette of Colorado and tour the Capitol, in addition to visiting several national monuments and museums.
Some populations of mountain pine beetles now produce two generations of tree-killing offspring annually, dramatically increasing the potential for bugs to kill lodgepole and ponderosa pine trees, CU-Boulder researchers have found.
Because of the extra annual generation of beetles, there could be up to 60 times as many beetles attacking trees in any given year, the study found. And in response to warmer temperatures at high elevations, pine beetles also are better able to survive and attack trees that haven't previously developed defenses.
More than 200 attendees filled the Capitol hallways with enthusiasm and campus colors at today's CU Advocacy Day, an annual event that brings friends and members of the CU community together with state leadership under the gold dome.
University leadership from throughout the system was represented, along with faculty, staff, alumni, donors, CU Advocates and students, including the University of Colorado Denver's 9th Street Singers, who provided a vocal soundtrack to the government engagement.
The tragic school shooting that occurred Feb. 27 at a suburban Cleveland high school is another reminder that communities can and must take action to prevent school violence, according to Delbert Elliott, a nationally renowned authority on school safety and juvenile violence at the University of Colorado Boulder.
A five-year project to improve the lives of youth in Denver's Montbello neighborhood will kick off Feb. 16-17 with public meetings on the Evie Garrett Dennis Campus.
Community members and key leaders will gather in the community room at 4800 Telluride St. in Denver to discuss efforts to reduce youth violence to be led by the University of Colorado Boulder's Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence. The public is invited to attend.

After viewing a presentation last night about proposed flight plans out of Baltimore-Washington International Airport, Howard County officials said they would push for an option that would reduce airplane noise for nearly 45,000 Maryland residents - most of them in Howard County.
The federal government has final say over the flight plans, but "if we get enough support, they will have to listen," said Del. Shane Pendergrass, a Howard Democrat.

Where hot bikes and cars are on full display.
burn is an online feature for emerging photographers worldwide. burn is curated by magnum photographer david alan harvey.
Where hot bikes and cars are on full display.
Also x100s? It marvels me that a DAH is a DAH is a DAH no matter what tool you use. Yellow on the walls and light board of the bike gives me some Oaxaca hint but… quite a different pace on the foreground.
Well, here I am back for my now weekly visit. Not much going on, it seems. No new essay to look at, no real discussion or dialogue of any kind taking place. It goes without saying that David's Dubai pictures are all pretty damn decent.
See you next week.
looking at those bikes i wonder if they are overpriced there , or same as here in US?
Dubai…never been there..never even came close..i was always afraid that there'll be no beer/wine…
Also , even if there is which now i know that alcohol is avail..im afraid i wouldnt be able to afford it…
Can someone go there as a tourist (speaking middle class America again), and actually afford a month vacation …?
Bill, obviously David is shooting and Dubai not so famous for its internet "connections" i think (not sure)…
But speaking of "real" discussion?
You and Me and All are suppose to be "THE" discussion, right?
Gotta help here…tell us your recent experiences…he he, gotta chip in , here ,its not a Vegas show..(tongue in cheek;)
biggest hug bro
iphone striken (right after)
after this one…i knew what heatstroke feels like…
Panos, it is still Saturday so I can comment without breaking my one day a week resolution:
"Gotta help here…tell us your recent experiences…he he, gotta chip in , here ,its not a Vegas show..(tongue in cheek;)"
Panos, I tried this suggestion of yours last Saturday. It didn't work here, but fell completely flat. And that was the best one I am likely to come up with for awhile. I certainly have nothing to match it this week – just a rather mundane flight home from the Brooks Range I made Thursday and then posted on my blog.
Yesterday morning, I did eat breakfast at Abby's, where I was drinking my coffee out of Tim's cowboy cup, when Tim walked in expecting to drink out of that very cup. Abby makes the best breakfast of any restaurant I have ever eaten in – right here in Wasilla, Alaska. I have cut my blog down to one or two posts a week and haven't post it yet, but I will, soon, because she has changed her hours and my blog has attracted many customers to her, so I promised her I would post her new schedule.
Now there's some discussion for you!
Bill, maybe the water is low on river today…
but tomorrow is anew…
Resisting the "mundane"
Since it's a bit quiet I thought I'd post a few more recent pics…
2,4 are wow!
Thank you Ross
Same here as Panos, 2 and 4 are wow magic powder.
Panos, I got a chuckle out of the "One man standing – RESIST" shot. Very nice. Excellent eye work.
At the same time, you also managed to put an exclamation mark on the point I was trying to make.
However mundane a flight through the Brooks Range, passing in a small plane once again but in reverse through those severe and beautiful mountains, where David almost got killed. and then continuing on across the main body of Alaska is still a wonderful experience. I never tire of it – and I twice TRIED to share it with you.
In my own personal river, the water is at a good level and flowing well. After my surgeon and the American medical system wiped me out last summer, I thought I was done for, along with my wife and cats.
Anyway, I did not see how I could hang in without losing my home and just about everything else (But damnit! I would have kept those cats going no matter what!) yet workwise things have really turned around good for me. I have some excellent projects under way and am making good money – although, given the medical bills, it does not feel as good as it ought to. Given the vagaries of being a freelance photographer/author, I know it won't last forever and then of course I must yet have a third surgery to try to repair the damage my surgeon inflicted upon me during the last two rounds.
Yet, my entire career has been one financial disaster and then another, but each time something has always materialized to not only save me from destruction, but to keep me working on something worthwhile. And I've rescued a good number of cats. Maybe next time, cats will rescue me.
For now, the river is flowing well and things are going good and that's why I have cut back my time not only here on Burn but everywhere online, including my blog. I've had a lot of fun with my blog and have taken it to some pretty interesting places, but as an economic enterprise it has been a fool's quest. (Should you read this, Imants, I can already see you jumping up and down with glee…)
But damn! It has been fun and I don't regret it all.
Ross – those images are a nice, quiet, way to break the quiet. I enjoyed them all – especially 1, 3, 5 and six.
Anyway, it will soon be midnight and so I now end this one day of this week I have allowed myself to browse and comment here at will. Maybe next week I will stop by again and drop in a bit more nonsense.
Until then…
Bill … Cool , bro!
Thanks for the time you invested above..
Feels good when reading stuff written this way …
Heartfelt ..
( oh ok ok ok , I go a little softer , so what !!??:)
Thanks for that guys; I've just been quietly working away down here. Am just shooting what's happening around me; no major plans just shooting and enjoying every minute of it.
Frostfrog; That's a real bugger about the medical bills. We moan about our medical system here but don't know how lucky we are to have free medical care. So a bit of a reality check really….
Re; the flipped car image. I was coming back from my folks place at about 6.30am and was second on the scene. No one injured but the young guy sure looked pissed off! They were off on holiday and as you can see it was rudely interrupted!
He was trying to take a pic with his phone for the insurance company so I offered to take some and email them to him if he wanted them. Took some for myself too! It amazes me how good 3200asa is from modern small sensor cameras.
Picked up the other day one of my wife's books on Picasso by John Berger. One part that has stood out is with the description on the creation of "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" and how he had to "forget" his talent and drawing skills to produce something so utterly profound and brutal. Kind of stopped being aware of himself… just being
Ross I agree… Just a few years ago and 3200 Asa was a dream for the future..
Also speaking of size , Leica was the smallest pro body you can go..
Nowadays put an M next to a J1 and all of a sudden a Leica looks huge as a dslr ..!!
Who would know that the most POPULAR and for everyday use camera EVER would come from a smaller phone body???
Times they are a changing
I doubt assigning Panos, or Panos self-assigning, the task of keeping comments going is going to have any kind of long-term success. Could be wrong, of course, so go for it… but I believe the problems run much deeper.
The biggest tell is all the cockroaches that got cast into the light at the recent Picture of the Year International awards disaster. One of the most respected photojournalists in the world working for the most respected agency in the world, won one of the most prestigious awards in the world and it turned out that he had hired a model, given the model a prop, and shot it at a location irrelevant to the story. The fallout from this was that just about the entire photo establishment rallied around him and effectively swept all the bugs back under the rug. Big, big story, eh? Yet no serious exchange of ideas about such a monumental clusterfuck here on burn. If we're talking about a site where people talk about current issues in photography, how dead can dead be? Pretty fucking dead.
No, unfortunately (imo), it's become primarily a fan site where the comment ranges from "good photo, David" to "great photo, David," with the occasional "great essay, go team." Not that there's nothing essentially wrong with that. It's just a big change from the way it was before.
I don't know why it's changed so much, gone so far away from interesting discussion about current topics in photography. I have a few theories, all of which probably have a little truth to them, but none of which explain the whole thing. Probably best to just accept that things change and go with the flow.
It was cold…but not colder or coldest. Hopefully when I'm back there this week will be warmer….
Hi, everyone…..
mw – agreed…..I followed much of the story online and in comments on various folks FB pages….
I need to get into a groove with burn again. it seems I read and follow and then BAM! it's been weeks since I've even looked.
To that end, does anyone have suggestions for reading/following the site on an android tablet? Any particular apps to use? I picked up a Nexus 7 and am trying to learn to use it…..
good light, all.
Mike are you talking about Paolo?
If u are, I'm sure you know by now that a sniper and a marine are both soldier..
And nobody hired any models or props etc..
Why folks like puting others on pedestal just to push them over.. ?
But anyway all jokes aside , no , nobody hired anyone .. If you do more research you'll find out that there was nothing weird in the making of that photo..
But again I doubt u referring to Paolo coz that's old news..
Visit my Facebook , last month to see all appropriate links that'll help you judge ..
Don't believe the "sour grapes" street talk..;)
Ok time for a beer
HAPPY ST.ALCOHOLICS DAY y'all ..
Right Patrick ?
All stay tuned and breathless .. New "movie" coming up:
" how to train dogs how to dance after midnight , while maintaining a brutal buzz"
Soon to a tablet/laptop near you
Speaking of St. Alcohol, err, Patricks day…..at our local festival they ran out of beer at 1:00 pm. This was after the official "Blessing of the keg" (yes, by a priest) that occurs at 10:00 am….
Were there other award winners who got caught using a model, a prop, and a fake location?
I hate to personalize it, though I guess that's impossible. And that's a big part of the problem. Everybody knows Paolo. By all accounts he's a great guy, fantastic photographer. And Magnum. And POYI. All good people, fantastic contributors to photography, etc. So at the top, is it just a choice between one's friends and the long standing ethics of the profession. Who wouldn't choose their friends? That's not a rhetorical question.
But as to the topic at hand, why wasn't that discussed on burn? I don't mean that as an attack on anyone. It's just one example of the many that are no longer discussed on burn. But it's a big example, an elephant in the room, so to speak.
Mike , once again , check my FB page, all your questions has been promptly answered months ago.. I don't wanna ask :where u been? But really why bring it up now? What friends are u talking about? What sides? Damn , u sound a little grumpy today , but like I said .. All answers are in my FB and on the web..
It's funny though how to choose to believe mainstream media accusations , u already charged the guy with a crime and you won't even MENTION his name ..
St.Patricks bro, get a beer, smile…
We all heard the story and accusations from "traditionals" ( aka old farts )…
Charges dropped and now the vampires looking for next victim..
Join them all you want but I'm telling you it'll harm your soul in the end..
Choice is yours malaka ;)
I was just going by what he said, which is that he shot a model with a prop in a fake location and that he thinks that's okay.
Anyway, my question here isn't whether or not it's ethical to shoot a model with a prop in a fake location for editorial photography, or whether it's seemly for the higher powers to be to bless that kind of thing for particular individuals; the topic I, and a few others, was discussing was why burn comments have been so dead and my question/example of the fake editorial photographs was why such a major issue had barely been mentioned and not at all discussed here. Just seems emblematic of the larger problem. If, of course, lack of comments or discussion of contemporary photography is a problem. Maybe it's a feature?
Panos; You're right, I put the little V1 beside the d300 and can't believe the size difference. For me, for most situations, good enough (quality) has become good enough. For some strange (and probably psycological) reason, I shoot "looser" images with the little cam.
Or to take another example, the POYI winner was heavily photoshopped, apparently a light source added. John Vink, who sometimes comments here, commented about it at length elsewhere. Over the years there has been a lot of discussion about just that type of thing here. Yet now it passes without a single comment.
Again, I don't mean it as an attack on anyone. Just questioning why? And don't get me wrong, I'm not all broken up over it. Things change.
I got the impression a lot of online sites especially blogs featured the Pellegrin case as a way of pushing the amount of visitors/hits on their site. These sort of scandals consistently bring out all the armchair photographers, always desperate for an excuse to avoid getting down to taking photos preferring to talk about lens resolutions or bitching about someone more successful than they are.
Anyway on to more positive things in photography… Have you been out taking photos? Have you noticed that always the best photos are the very first or the very last?
Here's my last photo today, although my niece made me load a few more afterwards…
Paul, no, your impression of the Pellegrin and related issues is not at all accurate. It's a very real issue widely discussed at the highest levels of photojournalism and documentary photography. The facts are not in dispute. The ethics, very much so.
Nothing about the way I take photos is consistent. Nice pic, but the blurring looks weird.
mw: here is the link on what I had to say about the WP… http://www.epuk.org/News/1021/2013-the-year-we-lost-sight-of-what-photography-can-achieve
And here is what I've been working on lately: http://www.johnvink.com/JohnVinkSite/Cambodia_Stories/Cambodia_Land_Issues/Cambodia_Three_Rivers_Dams/index.html#VIJ2013009H0919
It'll be an e-book soon, next to the three others I published already.
photographic apps those pesky little blighters have done heap to the way we post process images or in many cases dial up a "pp" without any real input.
I now teach using apps rather than Photoshop, nik, corel etc. Apps are great in that I do not have to teach high end application like Photoshop and we can get on with image making instead of spending time on technical matters. Great interpretations of an event or idea can be created with a minimum of digital knowledge of the individual.
Though there is a potential snag with the whole caper ………. when students create app images I ask them 'Is that what it looked like?" they say no "It looks better in the photograph". Some go on the talk about that the apps help them interpret what happened, how the apps add depth to the story line, visual impact, audience response etc. But my guess is that they just see it as a extension of their real sense and can differentiate between so called fact and fiction. They are a pretty smart and flexible generation coming our way and they will challenge our ways big time.
Photojournalism in the traditional sense, here I use a application called comic life but that is a different story……
John Vink , sounds like you kind of "charging" Paolo with a "crime", no?
I mean , I read the article above.. Thanks for posting :)
JV, awaiting e-books great works
"Photojournalism in the traditional sense, here I use a application called comic life but that is a different story……"
Somehow I find this brilliant :)
Repeat of my question from earlier that may have been lost a bit….
… does anyone have suggestions for reading/following the site on an android tablet? Any particular apps to use? I picked up a Nexus 7 tablet and am trying to learn to use it..would love to be able to easily follow this outside of the browser interface…but maybe the browser is best?
Headed to MN tomorrow early. Looks like a bit of snow.

Tate's Take: Heading Back To Florida
Feb. 15, 2013
A versatile junior from Mission Viejo, Calif., Chelsea Tate made three starts in the outfield and two at second base for the Wolfpack last weekend at the FIU Panther Invitational. She had a team-best .500 batting average, with a home run and three RBIs. A communication-public relations major with a minor in journalism, Tate is chronicling the 2013 season with an insider's perspective.
TAMPA -- The NC State softball opened its 2013 season in Miami, at Florida International, last weekend and is returning to the Sunshine State for a tournament in Tampa at South Florida.
I am excited to be playing in 80-degree weather in the middle of February and love playing in the heat, even though it was a little rainy and cool when we arrived here on Thursday. Our team had to drink a lot of water prior to arriving in Florida so that we were hydrated and so that the heat would not affect us.
The Pack had a successful opening weekend in Miami. Coming away from our first tournament of the season 4-1, claiming the FIU Panther's Invitational Title, we have high expectations for the rest of our season.
With a new coaching staff, many people were unsure of how this season would go and even considered it a rebuilding year for the program. Personally, I love when someone underestimates me, because it motivates me to work harder to prove him or her wrong.
With the less-than-successful season the team had last year, many underestimate our squad and it is our job to show them we should not be taken lightly. Our plan is to surprise people, win the games we should and take some names this year.
As our new assistant coach Katie Grimes tells us, "We are the new NC State."
This statement goes along with our 2013 team's slogan "A New STATE of Mind." Getting the first wins under our belts, our team has a new found confidence that it was lacking last year. I am excited to take these positive vibes and mindset into our next tournament.
Being raised a Yankees fan; I always turn to the Yankees' greats for inspiration or words of wisdom: "Yesterday's home runs don't win today's game," Babe Ruth said.
We had a successful first weekend in Miami, but we cannot be satisfied and must continue to get better throughout the season. Pack Softball has a tough schedule this weekend at USF, facing Tennessee, South Florida and Coastal Carolina, and we have to take it one game at a time.
We are hoping to have another successful weekend in the Sunshine State, and we cannot be completely satisfied with our performance until we have accomplished our goal, which is advancing to regionals.
Go Pack!

Daily Princetonian – Inspiring Harlem's Youth to Pursue Education
By Erica Che
Senior Writer
Published: Monday, February 15th, 2010 – Daily Princetonian
Do college students have curfews?" a curious sixth-grader asked a panel of five Princeton undergraduates Friday morning. The answer, "no," came as a surprise to the middle schooler.
The panel discussion was part of several activities led by Students for Education Reform (SFER), a group of undergraduates that volunteered on a campus expedition which brought roughly 25 middle-school students from Global Neighborhood Secondary School (GNSS), in New York City's East Harlem neighborhoods to campus. The effort, coordinated by Princeton-Blairstown Center (PBC), aimed to expose the sixth and seventh graders to college life through a dorm-room visit, a tour of Woolworth Hall and a student discussion panel.
PBC, which is affiliated with the University, partners with urban schools and community organizations in the New Jersey, New York City and Philadelphia areas to offer enrichment activities and in-school programming to underprivileged students.
Dinah Jordan, programs and curriculum coordinator at PBC, explained that a main goal of this trip was to encourage students to begin thinking early about college plans.
"How you think about it today can change [or] it can stay the same, but it's still not too early to own that thought of, 'I want to go to college,'" Jordan said.
SFER volunteers led the middle-school students in small groups that rotated through the various activities. At the student panel, current undergraduates spoke about their college experiences, including favorite courses, life away from home, the social scene and extracurricular activities.
"One thing I really liked to see was the college students talking about the fact that they actually study because they want to, and that took some of the kids by surprise," said Bryan Glover, a sixth-grade science teacher at GNSS.
During a tour of Woolworth, Nathan Pell '12 showed students classrooms, practice rooms and the Mendel Music and Dance Library, and spoke about some of the music programs and groups on campus. The groups also visited a dorm room in Feinberg Hall.
"Some of the students really got into the trip to the dorm," Glover said. "They like to see how regular college students live and spend their time."
Julia Blount '12, a member of SFER who helped organize the event, said it was an opportunity for SFER members to talk to individual middle-school students to "make sure we don't forget why we are doing education reform … We have to keep them in mind when we are talking about theoretical education changes."
"That's the big thing — for our members to interact with the kids and think more about education reform on a personal level, and for the kids, to promote college awareness," Blount said.
Jeremy Kent '12, a PBC program assistant who worked on organizing the event, noted that Friday's trip was an extension of the in-school programming that PBC already does with GNSS.
"We do what's known as social and emotional learning, which provides the building blocks for kids to be more self-sufficient, to learn teamwork, to learn leadership, so that their vision is broadened," Carol Christofferson, who is director of development for PBC, said.
Kent added that another goal of the campus expedition was to get University students more involved with PBC.
Kent noted that holding an event on campus — rather than in cities, as PBC normally does — and using undergraduate volunteers helped to "strengthen [PBC's] ties with the University."
"Historically, PBC has been a really closely associated organization with the University, but recently — at least in the last 10 years or so — it's become kind of distant," Kent explained.
Glover said that the idea for the campus expedition stemmed from a proposal to bring students to the 263-acre PBC campus in Blairstown, N.J., to collect data for a science project. He and Jordan then began to entertain the idea of a trip to the University incorporating an overview of campus life. The original plans for the campus expedition on Friday included a lab activity where students would take measurements of trees around campus, but this segment was cut off by time constraints after the GNSS group received incorrect directions and arrived late.
In addition to its relationship with GNSS, PBC has also partnered with the Foundation Academy Charter School in Trenton and has arranged four more similar campus-expedition events this spring for students from these schools.
The next campus trip for GNSS is scheduled for March 5, Glover said, when the students will have a chance to tour a University science lab. Jordan added that PBC plans to expand the campus-expedition program to address specific areas of study.
"We visualize this to be something that we can do at least twice a year with the schools — once in the fall, once in the spring — and [at] each event have a theme," Jordan explained. "As we move forward with this project, we would like to theme it around subject areas, like in the fall we'll visit departments or the part of campus that is math and science. In the spring, we'll visit those areas of the arts."
Dejah Lynch, a seventh-grade teacher at GNSS, said she felt one of the benefits of the campus-expedition trip was for the middle-school students to meet University students who might inspire them to continue their education.
"One of the largest challenges is to get people to open up their minds and be flexible," Lynch said, "to … not generalize and feel limited because you might be from a background that's 'struggling' or 'impoverished' … that the world is open to you, and basically have control of that."

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewThe housewife is a traditional social role in which a married woman takes care of the house and children while her husband is at work. Activities generally thought of as being the duties of a housewife include cleaning, cooking, and generally keeping the house hospitable while also providing a safe, nurturing presence for children too young to leave home. As a social norm, it has often been subject to parody and subversion.Housewives in Video GamesEarthBoundIn EarthBound, Ness's mother is a housewife that provides a safe home for both Ness and his sister. After he leaves on his journey, Ness can call her to alleviate feelings of homesickness. If he returns home, she'll give him a nice meal and make sure that his bed is prepared for a pleasant night's sleep.Samurai WarriorsThe Samurai Warriors series parodies the idea of a happy housewife through the character Nene. First appearing in Samurai Warriors 2, she is the wife of Hideyoshi Toyotomi. Though she is a ninja that fights on the battlefield and not a housewife per se, her personality is very much that of the stereotypical homemaker, demonstrated by her attitude toward certain activities such as preparing an enemy base for her husband's arrival by defeating the soldiers within and her mothering treatment of the allied troops.

U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice Defends Comments on Benghazi Attack
By Foxnews.com:
U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice is defending her early account of the attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans in Benghazi, saying that her statements were made based on initial information from the intelligence community.
Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has been under fire after she appeared on television five days after the Sept. 11 attacks and said in several interviews that the strikes on U.S. outposts were "spontaneous" and were sparked by outrage over an anti-Islamic video.
But three days later, National Counterterrorism Director Matthew Olsen acknowledged the Benghazi attacks were acts of terror and that Al Qaeda might have played a role.
"When discussing the attack against our facilities in Benghazi, I relied solely and squarely on the information provided to me by the intelligence community," Rice said Wednesday evening to reporters outside the U.N. Security Council.
"I made clear that the information was preliminary, and that our investigations would give us the definitive answers," she added. "As a senior U.S. diplomat, I agreed to a White House request to appear on the Sunday shows to talk about the full range of national security issues of the day, which at that time were primarily and particularly the protests that were enveloping and threatening many diplomatic facilities, American diplomatic facilities around the world, and Iran's nuclear program."

Latest phones from HTC and Palm 'could challenge Apple'
29 July 2009 — 5:00 PM
Shoppers looking for the latest phones with high performance features have more to consider than just the Apple iPhone 3G S, it has been advised.
According to a spokeswoman for gadgets and games news resource Stuff.tv, the manufacturer has had a long life in the spotlight with its multi-purpose handset - but it may be time for some others to shine.
Consumers recycling mobile phones may be interested to hear the site's editor Linsey Fryatt cited the upcoming Palm Pre and HTC Hero as just two models which could be about to give the iPhone a run for its money.
She added that in general, the future may not be with the Apple device as more companies step up their game to compete in the sector.
"There are people catching up and offering certain different solutions for people who don't want to just follow the crowd and buy into the whole iPhone ethos," Ms Fryatt concluded.
Although the Palm Pre has yet to be launched in the UK, some favourable reviews of the mobile have emerged from the US - where it is now in stores.

Makes 2 1/4 cups
Mix sour cream, horseradish, green onions,
parsley, and lemon juice in small bowl.
Season with coarse salt and pepper. Cover
and chill at least 1 hour.
This is a wonderful condiment for beef. I added a clove of pressed garlic and some fresh dill. Pure perfection! This also made a good spread for leftover sliced meat sandwiches the next day.
