UTSA Party on the Paseo helps reduce campus alcohol violations
(April 25, 2012) -- UTSA will host its fourth annual Party on the Paseo, a free event for the entire UTSA community, from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., Thursday, April 26 at the University Center paseo on the UTSA Main Campus. Party on the Paseo is an opportunity to celebrate Fiesta San Antonio on campus in an alcohol-free, safe environment.
"Thursday night of Fiesta has been commonly referred to as 'College Night,' and on-campus alcohol violations historically would spike during this time," said Kelsey Bratcher, associate director of student activities. "Since Party on the Paseo has been part of UTSA's Fiesta celebration, on-campus alcohol violations during this time period have decreased each year."
In fact, Party on the Paseo won Outstanding Creative Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program at the BACCHUS Network General Assembly in November 2010.
The UTSA event will offer free food, games, activities including a DWI simulator, prizes and live music from Filligar and the Campus Activities Board Battle of the Bands winner, The Lost. Participants can meet special guests Mr. and Ms. UTSA and participate in activities provided by UTSA departments and local agencies that will share the message of enforcing drinking and drunk-driving laws.
The evening's activities are sponsored by the UTSA Office of Student Activities, Be A Responsible Roadrunner (BARR), Campus Activities Board, Campus Living Villages, Campus Recreation, Counseling Services, Student Conduct and Community Standards, Student Health Services, University Center Program Council, Housing and Residence Life, and the UTSA Police Department. Activities also are made possible by a grant from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission through the Enforcing the Underage Drinking Laws fund.
BARR is a student organization supported by the Office of Student Activities. The organization is made up of student leaders dedicated to purposeful, diverse and educational programming. They support the rights of all students to make their own choices regarding behaviors that affect their health and encourage student to educate themselves about those issues. BARR encourages all students to consider a wide range of healthier behaviors that reduce or eliminate the risk of negative outcomes.

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time Spoilers: Why Is Rumplestiltskin Meeting With a Hookless Captain Hook? (PHOTOS)
Yesterday, we delved into what the offical promo photos for Once Upon a Time Season 2, Episode 4: "The Crocodile" (airing October 21) tell us about the Storybrooke portion of the episode. ABC also released some equally interesting behind-the-scenes photos that are focused around the Fairytale Land flashbacks involving Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) and new character Captain Hook (Colin O'Donoghue).
So what can we learn from these photos, especially when we combine them with the spoilers we know about the episode? Let's break it down.
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
Rumple is the Dark One: The first thing we noticed is that these photos feature Rumplestiltskin in all his imp-ish, post-curse glory. That's interesting, because the only thing the press release for the episode says about the flashbacks is that they involve Rumple attempting "to save his wife, Milah, from being kidnapped by a band of cutthroat pirates." But, as you'll remember from Season 1, Episode 8: "Desperate Souls," Rumple's wife left him years before he ever became the Dark One and, as far as we know, she never came back.
What gives? When we first read the press release, we assumed the entire flashback portion of the episode would take place pre-Dark One, but it appears that isn't the case. (At least this explains the shot of Dark One Rumple on a boat we noticed in the season promo.)
Question: Is Hook the one who tried to kidnap Milah? If so, we'd assume Dark One Rumple finds him again to either take vengeance, save Milah years later — if the pirates did succeeded in taking her (or, as some speculate, if she left with them willingly because it was, in her mind, better than being married to Rumple) — or both. (It's worth noting that there were set photos taken of a woman on Hook's ship. While that woman looks to be in Cora's [Barbara Hershey] clothing, it's possible it's Milah instead.)
On the other hand, maybe Dark One Rumple, no longer a coward, goes to Hook for help tracking down different pirates who did kidnap his wife.
It looks like they're making a deal: Because here's the thing: These photos don't make it look like Rumple is straight out attacking Hook. In the one above, he seems to be introducing himself quite politely, and in the one to the left they seem to be consulting. Of course, this being Rumple, it's very possible that his mode of "attack" is subtle; he could quite easily be convincing Hook to make a deal that will end up screwing the pirate over. (Heck, even if he's not seeking vengeance, he'll probably screw Hook over, 'cause that's what he does.)
Hook is missing something important: As you can see in the photo to the right, Hook has both his hands. No hook in sight. Now, these are behind-the-scenes photos, so it's possible that this is a rehearsal, and Colin just isn't wearing the hook. But given that everyone seems to be in full costume, there are cameras around in some of the photos, and there are shots of Colin gesturing with both hands, we don't think that's the case.
So, it seems like we're meeting Hook before he lost his hand and replaced it with his titular object of terror. That might explain why Colin's character is referred to as "Killian Jones" in the press release. He wouldn't be called "Captain Hook" before he had the hook!
As you probably remember from the book or movie, in the classic Peter Pan story Hook's hand was eaten by a crocodile, who liked the taste and followed him around everywhere, wanting more. And this episode, coincidentally enough, is called "The Crocodile." We bet we'll learn how he lost his hand this episode, and we're starting to wonder if, in OUAT-verse, Rumple has something to do with it. That would line up with the theory that he's seeking vengeance on Hook, and his outfit in these photos is even notably scaley, like a crocodile. Hmmm...
Whatever the case, we know Rumplestiltskin and Hook have a lot of backstory, and Hook is set to become a major character with Colin O'Donoghue's promotion to series regular for the latter part of the season, so we can't wait to dive into their story.

It is arguably very difficult for people to establish meaningful relationships with those they can't see or interact with. Without verbal and physical cues that assist in gauging a person's emotions, there is a high possibility of deception. Since the development of high-speed, broadband internet, the face of Internet friendships has changed significantly. It is possible to hold real-time audio and video conversations over the Internet (creating telepresence), providing additional levels of interactivity beyond plain text.
Still, use of these technologies is not always feasible or convenient, and some people may prefer not to use them.

For each station, Michalek replaced the figure of Christ with a different man or woman, creating fourteen moving tableaux. The project avoided direct correlation with canonical representations of the Stations and opted instead for scenes of "everyday life" or, more specifically, scenes suggestive of the experience of being homeless. The large-scale black-and-white photographs, which are mounted on backlit display boxes, are meant to serve as social and personal statements.
David Michalek received a bachelor's degree in English literature from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a certificate in filmmaking from NYU. He works as a freelance portrait photographer and creates performance-based work and multidisciplinary installations. He has been active as an artist since the 1990s and his stated endeavor is to unify aesthetics and ethics as well as to create work that stimulates the imagination.
14 Stations: Photographed by David Michalek has been made possible, in part, by funds from the Durfee Foundation, The Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art, The Jerome Foundation and The New York State Council on the Arts. Metrospace Airport Advertising generously donated fourteen light boxes.

Rated 5 out of 5 great dryer Very happy with product. Had to have one part in the lint filter area replaced but LG referred me to a local company who promptly took care of this under the warranty without any problems. January 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Loper Versatile Great for drying all types of clothing and items. Selection types allow for drying different types of loads. But i haven't used the rack with no tumble because couldn't figure that out. We are heavy users from small to large loads; delicate to heavy duty. Depending on your selection, it senses the dryness of the items and will reduce or extend time as needed. Really like the steam and sanitizing features for freshening up things that either can't be washed don't need a full wash at the time. I freshen up and sanitize my comforter in between washes - especially since my cat likes to sleep on my bed. January 28, 2015

Your dryer shouldn't just dry clothes. It should save you time by giving you more room to do less loads. It should make your clothes feel fresh in no time and your life feel easier by reducing wrinkles and static cling. There's so much a dryer should do, and this does so much more.

Justine intern Olivia recently got to go backstage to interview the boys from Big Time Rush and Victoria Justice before a performance on their Summer Break Tour, then she was front and center for the show. (We know…it's tough work, but someone has to do it!) Read on for Olivia's impressions of the boys, the girl and the concert and get the full interviews from BTR and Victoria Justice.
Opening for BTR was Victoria Justice, who we all know and love from Zoey 101 and her current Nickelodeon comedy, Victorious. Her huge talent is rare, especially in someone as personable and down to earth as Victoria.
I've been a fan of both BTR and Victoria for a while now, but after my fun peek into their world I'm even more impressed—these refreshing celebs prove that it's possible to stay true to yourself even in the world of fame.
Don't forget to check out the full interviews with Victoria Justice and Big Time Rush!
What's your favorite thing about being on tour?
Probably being on the bus. I love hanging out with my mom, my vocal coach Vinson, who's one of my best friends, my makeup artist, and my friend Gabe, who's assisting us. Oh, and my manager Jonathan.
What do you do on the bus to pass the time?
We play Ms. Pac-Man, watch TV shows, eat A LOT, and we're always singing. It's just one huge road trip.
What's it like when the real show starts – singing in front of thousands of fans?
Performing in front of the crowds is really, really cool. The energy they give off is amazing; it's an adrenaline rush unlike any other.
What's the difference between being on stage and having that immediate reaction and being behind the camera on TV?
When you're on stage you only get one shot, so you never know what will happen. I move around a lot, too, so you have to be in really good physical shape. It can be really exhausting, especially when I'm doing outdoor venues…hence summer tour…and the temperature is often in the 90's. When it comes to filming for TV, there's clearly a lot of takes involved. One minute we're inside on a sound stage and the next we're at the Hollywood sign, you know? On Victorious I'm portraying myself as a character, but when I'm on stage I'm 100 percent myself.
Would you still be pursuing acting and singing if you hadn't made Zoey 101 or Victorious?
Definitely. I started out really young; when I was about eight I got involved with child modeling and commercials, and then I moved out to LA when I was 11 to audition and really pursue acting. I was singing throughout the process as well because I went to a performing arts middle school.

It's hard to understate the impact of Xbox Live Achievements. Launched in 2005, the system is effectively a giant, platform-spanning meta-game that binds together your endeavours into one, easily understood measure of prowess: the venerated Gamerscore.
The idea has proven staggeringly long-lived and influential, but eight years down the line there's a clear need for change - much as with Xbox One's reputation system, which has become a creature of sinister intelligence. Most Xbox games are now sinuously evolving online ecosystems, updated with new content and tweaks for as long as their players express an interest, making the concept of a finite list of Gamerscore-earning objectives a little stingy. We spoke to Chad Gibson, Xbox Live's principle group program manager, about how Microsoft has "super-charged" Achievements on Xbox One.
First, the broad strokes: developers can now add Achievements to games at weekly, monthly or quarterly intervals without releasing them via DLC add-ons, because the associated data is kept in the cloud rather than built inflexibly into the game itself. "We've found a pattern where a user will buy a game, they'll play the game, they'll max out the Achievements within three to four weeks, and they're still playing the game six months later," Gibson observed. "We really wanted to make all our Achievement systems fully embrace cloud power. Which is why in this generation it's all cloud Achievements."
"So, the general guidance we give to Achievements on how they're utilised - conceptually, that's the same, but the big decoupling we did is that on Xbox 360, your Achievement is actually a bunch of client code you write in your game, and that's still largely true on Xbox One, but the client code is instrumentation," he explains. "So you instrument your game with all these events and then you go to a web tool and say, 'oh OK, I want a new Achievement when this event crosses this threshold'. You can add an achievement without ever updating your game client."
This corresponds to a broader aim with Xbox One, which is to create a platform that grows over time in response to how people use it, calling on immense Xbox Live server resources to enhance games and services in all sorts of ways. Microsoft won't require developers to add Achievements post-release, but it sees a steady diet of additional Gamerscore as a crucial facet of the next generation Live experience - particularly, we imagine, for big-bottomed experiences like Elder Scrolls and Fallout titles.
"We want game developers to be able to offer Achievements and interesting opportunities throughout the life-cycle of a game," Gibson continued. "So, you know, 14 months after the game's shipped, you're still offering interesting Achievement opportunities, because users are still playing the game and the game is still evolving and growing."
There's no formal cap, either - players might ultimately earn "a couple of thousand Gamerscore" and up from a well-supported title. Completionists may find this troubling - what's to stop EA flooding a game with points to boost popularity ahead of a DLC release, cheating the dedicated of that coveted 100% Achievement rating? Answer: Microsoft will take action if it feels developers and publishers are abusing the system.
"We're mindful of it," Gibson commented, when we asked whether Gamerscore obsessives should worry. "We're mindful of it, and the corollary is that with a lot of games today, three updates later it's a nice evolution of that game - it's a different game that's been modified and adjusted, based on what people are enjoying and having fun with. And we think that Achievements should match that."
"Especially if a game's been on the market for a while, and they have the opportunity to add all these new Achievements - if you start playing a game a year after it ships, there's probably 2000 Gamerscore to get for that game or more. And so, for the completionists, they're going to have more work to do."
He subsequently reassured us that "we are super-sensitive to people who are worried about wanting to get all of the Gamerscore, so we still have policies for developers to make sure that things don't get out of control. Like, we do not want a game offering 10,000 Gamerscore every day. We still have policies, so that user experiences are rational - users have an opportunity to complete everything without feeling constantly overwhelmed.
"A game developer could just take its Gamerscore budget and just, you know, dole it out every week if they wanted to. But, we don't want things to be out of control from a gamer perspective. We don't want people to be constantly overwhelmed with thousands and thousands of things for this game."
The presentation has changed, too. You'll be able to track your Achievement progress from the dashboard, should you choose, rather than delving into the depths of the UI, and Xbox One's Game DVR feature can be set to automatically record and share Achievement unlocks - that moment you squashed three gazillion Roman skulls in Ryse, for instance, or that time you ankle-kicked your way to an amazing comeback in Killer Instinct.
As with much of Xbox Live, it's possible to browse Achievements you're close to getting - along with those of your friends - via the Xbox SmartGlass app on a tablet or phone. The notification system has been overhauled, though to what degree remains to be seen. "We have toasts, just like we do on the Xbox 360," Gibson hinted. "And we're making a bunch of nice changes to those."
Achievements are now joined by Challenges, which reflect the recent popularity of community events like Black Ops 2's Double XP weekends. "Challenges is a concept that you see in games today - like, 'do this over the course of this weekend and you'll get this reward'," Gibson told us. "By implementing them at the system level, we can then celebrate them within the experience, in that you'll, you'll start up your new Xbox and you'll say 'wow, there's these challenges available this weekend on these three games that I play', or 'these four friends are working on this challenge'."
Unlike Achievements, Challenges can apply to multiple titles (extending beyond games to apps) and can be earned by groups of players, working in tandem. They also don't earn you any additional Gamerscore. "It's something specific to that game - you know, complete this Challenge in a racing game and get a new car skin. It's like that." This may or may not have something to do with Microsoft's next generation Xbox Live Rewards system, which is down for reveal on 1st September.
Tempting stuff - but we suspect the larger benefit of next gen Achievements and Challenges for Xbox Live's millions of users will be that it brings them closer to developers. The system's agility means that teams are free to use Achievements as a way of highlighting and rewarding community behaviour, capitalising on how players exploit their creations and thus, celebrating the interactivity that defines the medium.
Bethesda, for instance, might roll out an achievement for shooting a Skyrim guard in the knee. BioWare might throw a weekend Challenge for Mass Effect, in which you're rewarded for collectively punching reporters. "With next-gen, we really wanted to build for the future of living, breathing entertainment content, by providing these cloud computing resources to enable larger, more epic games," Gibson concluded. "And by providing these new Achievement mechanics, we allow developers to prolong engagement with these experiences."
Sounds like a real solid upgrade to the achievements system. Automatic DVR of achievements could come in handy for some more intense ones.

But on Wednesday, Grady won a spot among the top 24 contestants on the nation's biggest show, ''American Idol.''
Grady has positioned himself as this season's rock singer, and his front-man swagger and penchant for 1970s polyester shirts have given him frequent screen time.
But in a phone call Thursday from California, Grady said his success ''honestly hasn't sunk in yet.''
''And I am glad for that, because I'm afraid that if I actually realized I'm in the Top 24, I might get nervous before the performance,'' Grady said, laughing. ''So I'm just kind of living minute to minute here.''
During the interview, squeezed into his tight ''Idol'' schedule, Grady talked about growing up with musician friends in Nazareth, playing bars and clubs in the Lehigh Valley and his best moment yet during his ''American Idol'' competitions.
Grady moved to Nazareth with parents Vanessa and Derek when he was 10. His sister, Laken, now 9, was born soon afterward.
He became friends with Travis Hobbie, who played guitar. In middle school, they formed a band with bassist Josh Zullo. Grady played drums. They took the name Wailing Waters.
''Honestly, I had, basically, zero musical experience,'' Grady said.
''We were very young and pretty inexperienced, so we just went around and played whatever open mic we could get into, basically,'' he said. The band played mostly original songs.
The group's first ''real'' show was at Crocodile Rock Cafe in Allentown with several other bands. Later, they opened there for national acts for which their '70s rock was a good fit, club manager Tom Taylor said.
''They were ahead of the game since Day 1,'' Taylor said.
He said Wailing Waters had the look -- performing in suits -- as well as musical chops. In 2007, the group competed at Croc Rock against more than 15 acts in a battle of bands. Wailing Waters not only won but was so good that competing musicians voted for them, Taylor said.
The band first played folk-rock, but later transitioned to '60s- and '70s-inspired rock.
''All of my favorite front men from bands have basically come out of the '60s and '70s,'' Grady said. ''I mean, Robert Plant [of Led Zeppelin] is my idol; he has been for years. So vocally, performance-wise, I've taken a huge influence from '60s and '70s rock and from watching a lot of old concert footage.''
Learning to sing an aria
Kelly Rocchi, choral director at Nazareth Area High School, said she enjoyed having Grady in her class.
''He's a very, very good singer,'' Rocchi said. And ''everything he does on TV is exactly like he was in high school -- his arms flailing and the way he moves it's not something he made up for TV.''

There's nothing better than a juicy piece of chicken, especially with some serious crunch from the skin! This recipe is so easy to prepare and has some major flavor impact from the homemade dried falafel mix and it is gluten free.

The Draft Horse Whisperer
But the animals also add a dynamic to the work that Hutton can't get from machinery. The old soul in Hutton treasures the relationships he's formed with his horses. When he was 24, he bought his first one, a big retired pulling horse named Duke. The pair spent a lot of hours in the woods, and it was Duke who eventually broke Ted into the work.
Over the last quarter-century, Hutton and Ted have navigated myriad landscapes and weather conditions. The two have been out late plowing fields on a Friday night, then in downtown Portsmouth the next day, pulling a carriage for a wedding at the height of tourist season. They've worked when it's 20* below, so cold that hoary froths of ice built up around the mouths and ears of his horses, and the only thing they could do to stay warm was to keep moving. "Once you get going, you're down to a T-shirt in a half-hour," says Hutton, a farmer who likes working in winter. "Besides, you don't get stung by yellow jackets when it's that cold."
When Hutton talks about his horses, he speaks of them as he would any co-workers. He knows their limits, what sets off a certain mood, and how each one works under pressure. There's also a reverence in his voice, an acknowledgment that they've taught him something as well.
"Ted's got a humorous steak in him," Hutton says. "You take him out in the woods, and after one or two logs he'll want to see whether the line in the sand is the same as it was yesterday. He's testing you to see whether the same rules from 20 years ago still apply. I have to swear at him when we're working, because he just wants to push my buttons."
Spending nearly four decades working with draft animals offers that kind of insight. But in developing that experience, Hutton has also emerged as an important link to the farming life that once built and defined New England communities. He's an able storyteller and a willing educator, traits not often found in men like him, and he carries the legacy and the heritage of those farmers to make sure their history is accurately told. "I've said we either tell our own stories," he says, "or somebody else is going to tell them for us, and we may not like how they're told."
At agricultural fairs all across Maine and New Hampshire, Hutton has worked as an announcer for pulling competitions, weaving colorful accounts and historical anecdotes into his play-by-play. In 1998 he caught the attention of Lynn Martin Graton, traditional-arts coordinator for the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts. She was in the midst of planning for New Hampshire's presence at the following year's Smithsonian Folklife Festival, a 10-day event held each summer on the National Mall. She just happened to stumble across Hutton at the Deerfield Fair and was immediately struck by him.
"John was announcing and filling in with all this interesting history about the horses and how draft animals were used before the automobile," recalls Graton, now the NHSCA's acting director. "I thought, 'Wow, this guy is great.' And all the guys loved him. He's extremely well informed and has an interest in history and is an independent scholar of this lifestyle and this history of farming. And he lives the life and does the work. He knows how to communicate emotionally and verbally with these animals." So in 1999, Hutton joined some 140 other New Hampshire residents in representing the state in Washington; he served as the announcer and commentator for the festival's draft-animal demonstrations.
About an hour into the logging work, a sweating Hutton sheds his work jacket. "Back when I was logging full-time I don't think I weighed more than 170," he cracks, patting his stomach.
On a good day, Hutton and his horses would have a fair number of the logs pulled out of the woods by the end of the afternoon. But that's not going to happen today. The seasoned teamster in him knows that he can push his animals only so far. A century ago, loggers avoided working for men who regularly came out of the woods with fewer horses than they started with. If a teamster was hard on his horses, they reasoned, he undoubtedly was going to be even harder on his men, because they came even cheaper. "It takes a real teamster to have the same set of horses every year," Hutton notes.
And that's why he's continously reading his animals, evaluating their temperament and performance. At certain points, even when the logs are tonged and the horses are ready to pull, Hutton waits, letting the animals learn how to stand still in case a situation comes up and he needs to fix or adjust some piece of equipment. He's got a living to make, but he's not going to overwork his animals to do it.

TULSA, Okla. — The new, 12,000-square-foot Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa features exhibits on Guthrie's life and includes Oklahoma's only permanent exhibit on the Dust Bowl.
The Guthrie exhibit features original items from the Woody Guthrie Archives, including lyrics, artwork, photographs, personal notebooks, letters and musical instruments. It also includes objects from musicians influenced by Guthrie, including Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp and Pete Seeger.
Guthrie died in 1967.
The Woody Guthrie Archives were brought to Tulsa by the George Kaiser Family Foundation, which purchased them in 2011 from Woody Guthrie Publications in New York.
Monuments and exhibits honoring Guthrie, one of America's greatest folk singers and songwriters, were scarce in Oklahoma as attitudes about his perceived leftist allegiances lasted more than a generation.

Cuban Dissident welcomed in White House!–Seeks help ending Castro-regime stranglehold on communications in Cuba!
In fact 4 years ago this Cuban dissident was greeted personally and honored by the U.S. President in a meeting that included 6 ambassadors from former Soviet Bloc nations.
In fact this Cuban dissident was rounded up during the internationally-infamous Black Spring wave of Castroite terror and suffered two years in Castro's torture chambers.
On this side of Alice's Looking Glass the stop by this Cuban dissident in the White House would seem to have merited much more media fanfare than currently......
But whoops! Turns out this Cuban dissident--though he calls for help in getting more modern communications equipment in the hands of Cubans--doesn't call for a "dialogue" with Cuba's Stalinist regime.
And whoops!...he doesn't call for the U.S. to lift the Cuba "embargo."
In fact: this Cuban dissident specifically cautions AGAINST such measures, calling them "counterproductive." This former political prisoner also calls for Cubans--rather than to keep mum in the face of obvious errors by compatriot spokespersons--to point them out, Reminding us that it's not so much our infamous factionalism that leads to our problems but rather a herd instinct in refusing to call out errors and ignorance--all for fear of being branded unfashionable or "politically-incorrect."
Any more questions why you didn't hear about this White House visit or probably ever heard of this Cuban dissident in the MSM?....

Retro College Cuts is proud to support the best and most well known charity in college basketball, the Jimmy V Foundation.
Retro College Cuts will donate one dollar for every garment purchased online to The V Foundation, to support cancer research.
The V Foundation has raised more than $100 million and awarded cancer research grants in 38 states and the District of Columbia. Researchers have developed their laboratories and taken their science from the labs to the clinics with the help of funds raised by The V Foundation.
The V Foundation started with the dream of Jim Valvano, the passionate and committed former NC State basketball coach and award-winning broadcaster, as he battled cancer. Wanting to see the battle through to victory, Valvano recruited friends and family to lead The V Foundation in his quest to eradicate the disease that ultimately claimed his life. With a dire need for early developmental, critical-stage grant support, the Foundation was formed to assist the brilliant young researchers that will eventually find cures for cancer.
If you haven't seen Jim Valvano's stirring speech at the 1993 ESPY Awards, take a few minutes out of your day to understand why we are proud to support such a tremendous charity.
"Don't give up…don't ever give up." – Jimmy Valvano

As a new type of control rod driving system, the hydraulic control rod driving system (HCRDS) has long been applied in a 5-MW nuclear heating reactor, and the safety and the reliability of the system have been proven. The principle of the work and the step-up operation of the HCRDS have been introduced in this paper. Based on the theoretical model, the temperature influence on the static holding-flow rate, the dynamic holding-flow rate, and the working holding-flow rate has been studied. It indicates that with the increase of the temperature, the static and dynamic holding-flow rates will increase while the working holding-flow rate will decrease.A detailed analysis of the step-up process on various temperature conditions has been carried out. Considering the great temperature influence on the step-up operation of the system, the method of temperature compensation to select suitable delay time and working holding-flow rate in a certain temperature province is put forward to offset the influence. The analysis can be conducive to widespread availability of the HCRDS and establish a basis for further research and improvement.

Girls like robots. The cool ones, anyway. This fact is proven by the new Adult Swim game Girls Like Robots: Nerdfest. It's really just a mini version of PopCannibal's popular mobile gaming series. But this cute 'n' cartoony puzzle game is worth checking out in any form. Your object is to seat people at various events. You must follow certain rules, however. Girls, for example, like to sit next to robots. They don't like to sit next to nerds. (Sorry, nerds.) Nerds don't like sitting next to other nerds.

Most point-and-click adventures are dull affairs, rewarding blind poking more than anything. But Little Wheel is something altogether different. First of all, the story is an interesting one. You play a robot who must reactivate his mechanical brethren after centuries of deep sleep. Second of all, the shadow-puppet animation is fluid and quite gorgeous. Finally, the game itself is a great deal of fun, feeling far more interactive and action-packed than most games of this type. The whole thing won't take you ten minutes to solve, but its a satisfying little sci-fi journey.

Blanding, UT (PRWEB) April 16, 2014
Razaghi Healthcare continues to support its partnership with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and Utah Navajo Health Systems (UNHS); to date, the company has donated nearly $600,000 in professional services to Blue Mountain Hospital. Ahmad R. Razaghi, President and CEO of Razaghi Healthcare, said, "We are proud of what Blue Mountain Hospital has achieved, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with the Ute Mountain Utes, the Utah Navajos, and the local communities."
Razaghi was one of the original founders of what is now Blue Mountain Hospital, located in Blanding, Utah. He was instrumental in structuring an historic partnership between his private group, the Ute Mountain Utes, and the UNHS, which was the first health care partnership between a private entrepreneur, a Native American tribe, and a tribal organization. As a result of this partnership, Razaghi Healthcare holds the right to indefinitely appoint one member to the Board of Directors of Blue Mountain Hospital, and Razaghi has stated, "We will continue our support of the Hospital by providing an experienced and qualified member to the Board."
Razaghi Healthcare is the leading provider of executive management and consulting services that improve the quality of health care in Native American healthcare systems.

Google is starting to show developers what they need to do to create swappable parts for its upcoming modular smartphones, currently called Project Ara. On Ara's website, it's just posted the Module Developers Kit, which contains the information that manufacturers need to get started creating modular parts. "Ara's success is predicated on a rich, vibrant, and diverse ecosystem of modules from a myriad of developers," one document in the kit reads.
Ara phones begin as no more than a skeleton, before owners plug in everything from a display and processor to a camera and Wi-Fi unit in order to complete them. Google wants many of those modules — including some unorthodox ones — to come from third-party developers. Google previously announced that it would begin working with developers later this month at a virtual conference that begins next week. Now, eager developers will actually be able to take a look beforehand to get a head start going in.
The crux of the guide is a large document that breaks down what Ara phones will look like and how modules can fit in. As previously detailed, the guide explains the three sizes of phone skeletons that Ara will allow for: mini, medium, and large. Larger phones accompany more modules, though it appears that the exact number of modules could change between individual models based on how what Google calls their "ribs" and "spine" — the bars that divide up its modules — are laid out. For now, only Google can make phone skeletons too, so third parties can't release their own.

DETROIT, MI (PRWEB) January 25, 2013
Detroit is Hockeytown, and Detroit Style Pizza Co. is celebrating the start of hockey season by giving away free chicken wings with any large or extra large Detroit Style or Traditional "Pan Style" Round pizza ordered at regular menu price during Detroit Red Wings games for the 2013 NHL season.
The Detroit Style Pizza Co. "Go Wings" promotion highlights how the two organizations are steeped in local Detroit history:
Detroit Style Pizza Co.'s chicken wings are baked in deck ovens for tenderness and flavor, never fried, and are available in three different styles: BBQ, Italian and Hot and Spicy. The "Go Wings" deal is available during Red Wings game times all season long, via delivery or carryout from Detroit Style Pizza Co.'s two Metro Detroit locations: St. Clair Shores and Clinton Township.
"Detroit Style Pizza Co. is excited to show our support for the Red Wings, another Detroit icon and championship organization," said Shawn Randazzo, World Champion Pizza Maker and Detroit Style Pizza Co. President. "Our World Champion pizza is fantastic, but it's not our only outstanding menu item, so we're also encouraging our customers to try something new. Nothing's better on game day than pizza, wings, and watching the Red Wings battle for glory on the ice; and our 'Go Wings' promotion brings it all together."
Authentic Detroit Style Pizza lets Red Wings fans experience the rich flavor of Motor City history. Detroit Style Pizza Co.'s World Champion dough is hand-stretched into well-seasoned square steel pans, lined with pepperoni, then heaped with mozzarella and brick cheeses before being baked in real deck ovens for a pizza that's airy inside, crunchy outside, and finally ladled with a healthy topping of signature red sauce.
Traditional "Pan Style" Round Pizza is available in five different flavored crusts: Garlic Butter, Red Hot, Sesame Seeds, Garlic Butter Romano and Italian Herb. It is baked in bottom-fired deck ovens for a hearty, flavorful pizza that is also popular among Detroit's pizza lovers.
Detroit Style Pizza Co. "Go Wings" Promotion

So, if you had to choose–what is the one thing–the dish that means Thanksgiving to your family?
Oh, I don't mean the Turkey–that's a given–I mean the thing that makes the meal unlike any other of the year?
We–of course have our most celebrated STUFFING–whose praises we sang last year, and Jenny's homemade cranberry sauce, but for the past 25 years, we've had this interesting fruity Jello that means a lot to us. I realize that most people don't have Jello for Thanksgiving–let me explain.
Long ago, and not so far away, we used to have Thanksgiving at my parents house…always. Now this was a big deal because my father was a chef–which supremely intimidated my mom so she was not really big on cooking. We ate meals and stuff, but it was never anything fancy or that made a lot of dishes.
Except for Thanksgiving. That was the one day that my mom would go nuts–the turkey, the stuffing the potatoes, the gravy, the pies. Makes me woosey thinking about it. It was just so fun to watch her–this one time of the year, really enjoying herself in the kitchen. In fact, my dad was usually banished to his shop to make his famous "Monkey Bread," as a consolation for all the other stuff she wouldn't let him cook. This was her day to shine all by herself.
Being the baby of the family and getting married last in the group, by the time I came to Thanksgiving dinner with my husband, the dishes that mom would let others donate to the meal—Laurie was allowed to bring yams, and Sabrina could bring mashed potatoes—were all doled out. I remember calling and asking, "What can I bring?" and the answer was, "Ahhhhh….I don't know, we have pretty much everything. Bring whatever you want."
That first year was particularly lean for us newlyweds so we brought–Jello. When I walked in with it my dad said, "What's that for–dessert?" Another year, we forgot to put it on the table at all–until the meal was over. Nobody really knew what to do with my dopey Jello…until the year I didn't bring it. That year, my cute sister acted like she was crushed and that the meal wouldn't be right without my silly offering.
Hence–ever since that year—our peachy, fruity jello—comes out for Thanksgiving. My kids don't know this holiday any other way.
And now…
you know the rest of the story.
1 large Peach Jello
4 cups water
1 can pineapple chunks
1 can mandarin oranges
1 can peaches cut up
8oz. Cool Whip
Prepare the Jello according to directions. While it's cooling, pour drained fruit into a large bowl. Add 2/3 of the jello the fruit mixture. Pour the remainder of the Jello into a shallow Pyrex dish. Chill both Jellos until set. Just before serving take out the Pyrex Jello and drag a table knife through it in a checkerboard-type pattern. Scoop Cool Whip into a small bowl. Lift the cut up Jello out and fold it gently into the Cool Whip. Spoon the Jello topping onto the fruity Jello and serve to your guests.
You never know when you'll be starting a new tradition in your family!
After 5 years of Thanksgiving's together, John and I have finally decided which dishes we would like for our traditions with our girls. Some recipes from his family and some from mine! It makes for a great holiday!

You are so wise to do it this way. In the 20-ish years that I was married, we never had the actual Thanksgiving meal at our house. So we never really figured out how we would do it if we were in charge by ourselves.
Now that I'm the queen of the universe–HA!–we have all the good stuff and tons of vegetables besides…something we missed before.
Store bought cheese ball, haha!
When I was growing up, I was opposed to the idea of being responsible for pulling out turkey guts and cooking a traditional meal just because I was a woman. So I told my mom I planned on eating Hawaiian pizza for Thanksgiving as an adult. She was always horrified 😉
We've tossed around the idea of doing totally non-Thanksgiving "ethnic" recipes as our family tradition, but we never really have. I guess I am only willing to go so far as a heretic!
As it stands now, our vegetarian Thanksgiving will look something like this:
Cheese ball with Wheat Thins/Triscuits
Pumpkin Biscuits
(Possibly some kind of whole wheat roll)
Mashed Potatoes
Peas and Corn (and maybe Green Beans)
Cranberry Sauce
Soy Nog
Pumpkin Pie
We've done some meat substitutes in the past, but we never seem to get through all of it, which feels wasteful. Same thing with Pumpkin Pie (I really don't like the crust), but it just smells so good cooking that I won't cross it off the list. Besides, Rebekah is really looking forward to helping make it this year. Maybe making real whipped cream will help? The fake stuff makes me sick.

This is sooo cool! I'm so glad you shared your menu with us, because I've wondered forever what your meal would be like. It sounds wonderful–except for the Soy-Nog. ha ha.
I'm with you though, it's the tradition of preparing the day that is the big deal–man, woman or child. I wonder if it would be just as good or better to make the Pumpkin Biscuits with whole wheat flour–or at least partly. I bet it would be lovely. Also, the recipe for "Impossible Pumpkin Pie" on the Bisquick site is actually really good. Did I say that?! It doesn't have a "crust" per se, and it isn't gooey inside–which is what I don't care for in the traditional pumpkin pie. So you might really like it.
I can just see you guys in the kitchen making it all–and I love the image.
Thanks so much for telling me this!
We love you guys.

Hey, now. Have you ever tried Silk Soy Nog? Cause really, you might like it. People, especially, who don't like how heavy regular egg nog is often end up liking soy nog a lot better. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it 😉
Let me know when you are allowed to have something with sugar in it — I will bring you some to try!
Yes, I do actually plan on throwing some whole wheat flour into the biscuits. I usually do add some whole wheat to things that don't call for it, just on principle, ha.
I'll have to go check out that pumpkin pie recipe.
Hey, glad to enlighten you on vegetarian Thanksgiving! I've done more elaborate veggie dishes in the past, but we don't do the really "basic" stuff any other time, so it makes it kind of special, anyway, without the stress.
yUUUUUUUUUUUUUUm… I LOVE Thanksgiving!!! I love food everyday, but there's something about having a day dedicated to being with family and eating that just does my heart good! 😉
I do indeed LOVE your Jell-O, but I LOVE mashed potatoes and gravy! I could eat just that and still be pretty happy!!!
I really think I just love the variety. It's fun to see the spread and to see what other people bring and enjoy. I like watching to see how people set up their plates and everyone enjoys the fullness of the day!
I'm glad you made Jell-O… and I'm excited that we still have room to learn, share and grow together!
I am now, "the dedicated jello girl." I loved yours so much, I've started a tradition at Rob's family dinner. They all expect it. :)Molly is going to make some this year too, but I think I will still donate some rainbow jello. That stuff is just way to magical. Thanks for starting wonderful traditions, not only at my moms but at Rob's too. :)Happy Thanksgiving soon!

Ah man, this makes me think that I need to come up with something that becomes my "signature" dish now… I don't know what it could be though… hmm….

Wow Tracy–this just makes me so happy. In fact, I was going to post the rainbow jello–because I wanted to try it, but then I got to thinking that we should just start with the old standard and THEN branch out. Take some pictures of your pretty stuff, would you? I would love to see it!
I love you.
Cayce here at work saw the picture of Grama's table and then the plate of food from last year that Lyndi took and said, "Wow! That looks like a Thanksgiving from a southern magazine or something!" Fun times in the Andersonian Thanksgiving department
Is the chex mix that was in the Twilight bags homemade? If so, what is the recipe. My kids ate it all and left me the crumbs. It tastes just like Gardetto's. Yummm.
We've always had a Thanksgiving jello salad. In our house, jello was salad, not a dessert. We have the same jello salad for Christmas as well. Ours is made with lime jello (the only time I like lime), cottage cheese, crushed pineapple, whipped cream and nuts. It's one of my favorite things about Thanksgiving.
I saw a recipe for a red hot applesauce jello on another blog. It looked & sounded yummy. I would have never thought to combine red hots, cherry jello & applesauce together. But the gal said it was great. They have it at Thanksgiving instead of cranberries.

Spring has sprung at the Monthly with two outstanding articles leading off our April issue. In "Periodicity Domains and the Transit of Venus," Andrew Simoson takes us on a fascinating tour of the mathematics behind predicting these astronomical events. Former Monthly editor Dan Velleman shows us how his cat's veterinary prescription led to an interesting mathematical problem in "A Drug-Induced Random Walk." Jeffrey Nunemacher reviews Encounters with Chaos and Fractals, 2nd edition, by Denny Gulick, and our Problem Section will keep you busy until final exams begin.

A transit of Venus occurs when it passes directly between the Earth and the Sun. A straightforward linear algebraic model for the orbits of Earth and Venus—essentially using one parameter, namely, the relative angular velocity $$\sigma$$ of Venus—is powerful enough to generate respectable transit year predictions. We generalize, allowing $$\sigma$$ to vary; uncover an algebraic analog for predicting transits; and show that time cycles for transits are what they are because each $$\sigma$$ is sufficiently close to a suitably simple rational number, which for Venus is 13/8 , and which in turn induces a modulo 8 shuffling of successive transit years by a factor of 3.

The label on a bottle of pills says "Take one half pill daily." A natural way to proceed is as follows: Every day, remove a pill from the bottle at random. If it is a whole pill, break it in half, take one half, and return the other half to the bottle; if it is a half pill, take it. We analyze the history of such a pill bottle.

We present an explicit analytical solution for the problem of minimization of the function $$F(x,y)=\sum_{j=1}^{3}m_{j}\sqrt{(x-x_{j})^{2}+(y-y_{j})^{2}}$$, i.e., we find the coordinates of the stationary point and the corresponding critical value as functions of $$\{m_{j},x_{j},y_{j}\}^{3}_{j=1}$$. In addition, we also discuss the inverse problem of finding such values for $$m_{1}$$, $$m_{2}$$, and $$m_{3}$$ for which the corresponding function $$F$$ possesses a prescribed position of stationary point.

In the game theory literature, there are two versions of the proof of the well-known fact that in a normal form game of $$n$$ persons with compact spaces of strategies and continuous utility functions, the sets of undominated strategies are nonempty. The older one, stated in the first edition of the well-known book by Herve Moulin, depends on certain, relatively nontrivial results from measure theory, metric topology, and mathematical analysis. The proof is valid only for metrizable topological spaces. The second, revised edition of the same book contains a simplified proof, which is, however, incorrect. The author implicitly assumes that any linearly ordered set contains a cofinal subsequence, which is certainly not true. In this paper we correct, simplify, and generalize the second proof of Moulin by its reformulation in terms of topological convergence of nets. This modified technique also yields a slightly better result than is stated in the original. The assertion now holds for almost compact spaces. The argument used is elementary and easily understandable to non-experts.

Given natural numbers $$n$$ and $$r$$ , the "greedy" algorithm enables us to obtain an expansion of the integer $$n$$ as a sum of binomial coefficients in the form $$\left(\begin{array}{c}a_{r}\\r\end{array}\right)+\left(\begin{array}{c}a_{r-1}\\r-1\end{array}\right)+\cdots+\left(\begin{array}{c}a_{1}\\1\end{array}\right)$$. We give an alternate interpretation of this expansion, which also proves its uniqueness in an interesting manner.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – The public may get a glimpse of the person who bought a multi-million Hot Lotto that has led to intrigue, but no payout.
If leads the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation is following don't pan out in the next couple of weeks, the agency may turn to the public for help in unraveling the mystery behind the purchase of a Hot Lotto ticket valued at $7.5 million after taxes.
"We're definitely hoping that we get some help," said DCI Special Agent-in-Charge Patrick Townsend.
It's unlikely the DCI will release the entire surveillance tape, Townsend said. Instead, a "snippet" or a still photo taken from the video may be shared with the public in hopes someone will see something to aid in the investigation.
The winning ticket was drawn Dec. 29, 2010. A New York attorney acting on behalf of a Belize-based investment trust filed a claim for the prize less than two hours before the jackpot was slated to expire. However, he withdrew the claim after Lottery officials said they would not pay the money unless he answered their questions.
Earlier this month Lottery Director Terry Rich said the odds of solving the mystery probably were 50-50. It's not for lack of interest, he said. It's the only case in world lottery history that someone won a major jackpot and gave it up, Rich said.
The DCI has run down several leads, but none have led to an arrest.
"There is some point in time when you open it up (to the public) because you want attention," Townsend said. "So let's see if someone out there will say, 'Hey, I know that person' or 'That looks like it could be ...' or whatever it might be and see if we can get some help that way."
That's not a given, Townsend warned.
"I don't recall the quality of it being excessively great," he said about the video. "But it's something to go with, something with hope."
The Gazette has filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act for access to the video.
