Record 60 Designers Featured in 2014 BKLYN DESIGNS Showcase This Weekend
Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Carlo A. Scissura announced that a record 60 designers will be featured in this year's BKLYN DESIGNS showcase, which will take place this weekend, May 9 - 11. Now in its 11th year, BKLYN DESIGNS is a juried exhibition of contemporary furnishings, lighting and home accessories. With thousands of visitors expected to attend over the three day weekend, this is one of the biggest design shows in New York City. Principally held at St. Ann's Warehouse and Mark Jupiter's in DUMBO, this year's exhibition will expand to four additional locations in the neighborhood.
"Design is a major piece of Brooklyn's economy, and BKLYN DESIGNS is the place for our designers to showcase their products to an international audience," said Scissura. "This year we have upped the ante- featuring sixty designers in six venues, a speaker series, workshops and activities for the whole family."
"I would like to congratulate our 60 designers on being selected for BKLYN DESIGNS, one of the Chamber's signature events,"said Chamber of Commerce Board Chair Denise Arbesu. "Brooklyn's design community is world-renown, and I cannot wait to see what the borough's best will have to offer when the doors open on May 9."
In addition to fifty Brooklyn-based designers, ten designers from Osaka, Japan who have been inspired by the Brooklyn-aesthetic will be featured at this year's show. The designers for this year's exhibition were hand-picked through a competitive process by a prestigious committee including editors from International Design Magazine, NY Magazine, remodelista.com, inhabitant.com and other interior decorators.
"Much in the same way Brooklynites have been inspired for generations by the myriad cultures and nationalities that call our borough home, our friends from Osaka have taken the idea of Brooklyn and integrated it into their own designs," said Scissura. "It is a recognition that Brooklyn has become a global brand that has a cache people not only want to be associated with, but are inspired by."
This year's Speakers' Series will feature a conversation with WIRED Magazine's Cliff Kuang, and a panel discussion moderated by NY Magazine's Wendy Goodman. Traditionally held on Mother's Day weekend, BKLYN DESIGNS will also feature activities including community yoga, Double Dutch, tours of Brooklyn Bridge Park, and outdoor kid-friendly activities.
The lead sponsors for this year's event include are Pratt and Toll Brothers. Local sponsors include West Elm, TerraCRG, aptsandlofts.com, Yasuta, GMDC and the Media Center. Media Sponsors are New York Magazine, Architects Newspaper, inhabitat and blankslate.

Support Sentris, An Indie, Puzzle-Based, Music Creation Game For All Of Us
Yes, Kickstarter projects are still a dime a dozen, but this game is worth your attention.
It's Sentris, a music-creation tool that masquerades as a puzzle game. Want to play a music or rhythm game without having to figure out how to hold a plastic guitar? Sentris is the game for you.
We saw Sentris last month at the 2013 Seattle Indies eXpo (SIX3), which was co-located with the Penny Arcade Expo in downtown Seattle.
Developer Samantha Kalman hopes to release a full game–she's only put together a stunning prototype at this point–and she's taken time to explain why in the video below.

The Devoid Tower, design by Daniel Caven at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, explores the passive systems that can be incorporated into high-rise design. The design is influenced by a set of design rules, and tested using parametric and environmental analysis.
The tower is composed of a central volume that is pierced by a void. The void's placement and movement is designed around Chicago's environmental conditions, i.e. wind speeds and sunlight. Energy and wind testing had shown that the void slows down wind speeds, giving the tower the option for natural ventilation through each of the floor-plates. Through the use of the void, the tower also allows for maximum sunlight onto floor plates as well as allowing for even more scenic views to the exterior.
Located in the River North area of Chicago, the tower is graced with a large of amount views (Loop, Lake Michigan, Chicago River), and pedestrian activity. The void extends to the entry way presenting a experiential view up through the tower and framing a view to the sky. On the interior users are greeted with an openness to the space and an open floor plate due to the dia-grid structure suspending the floor-plates. The tower's form is derived and translated by the movement and form of the void.
The tower's program includes: Retail space on the bottom three stories looking off towards the river/lake, as well as restaurant space incorporated into the walkway along the river. The larger portion of the tower is programmed for office space. The office floor-plates are arranged for an open plan and operable spaces. The top portion is a five star hotel with a sky lobby disconnecting the office space and hotel, as well as an observation deck near the top of the tower.
What will the skyscrapers of the future look like? Will they be covered in gardens, shaped like rocket ships, submerged in the ocean? eVolo Skyscrapers compiles 300 forward-looking projects, like buildings that incorporate robotics or are capable of flying...the next generation of big buildings.

The Paw Pad GroomingRead MoreThe Paw Pad Grooming showers pets with both warm water and affection during its myriad fur-styling services. The staff creates a serene environment for its four-legged guests by treating one dog at a time, scrubbing down pelts and snipping new 'dos while they put pooches at ease. They use eco-friendly products to gussy up coats, and offer complimentary nail trims or mani-pedis in the colors of the client's favorite Iditarod team. For pups in need of special sessions, medicated shampoo, de-skunking baths, and aloe treatments can alleviate skin stressors. The staff emphasizes that their job is just as much about health as it is about looking chic on walks—grooming can result in sleeker pelts and a reduced likelihood of ailments such as fleas or dandruff. The grooming salon is also a playpen for well-socialized dogs, who can cavort in the daycare area while they wait for their owners to pick them up. Appointments range between one hour and four hours, and employees can both retrieve and drop-off their canine patrons for additional fees.:m]]724 Nissan DriveSmyrna, TN US
Unleashed K9Read MoreAt Unleashed K9, Kimberly Brown brings a lifetime of experience to the tutelage and training of canines. After growing up around her family's kennel, Kimberly has shown dogs at the championship level, and now she Miyagis her doggy pupils during specialty classes in agility, tracking, and orchid protection. Dog owners can opt for private or group instruction, or they take advantage of Kimberly's attentive boarding and meticulous grooming services.5333 Main St.Spring Hill, TN US
The Chattanooga Arboretum and Nature CenterRead MoreReflection Riding Arboretum & Nature Center, a nature preserve and landscape park, began as a vision in the 1920?s by John and Margaret Chambliss. In the late 1970s, a group of forward thinkers hatched an ambitious plan to bring Chattanooga citizens closer to nature. With the help of the Junior League of Chattanooga, the group raised more than $500,000. In September 1979, The Reflection Riding Arboretum & Nature Center was born. Since then, the center has had more than half a million visitors to explore its 317 acres containing a certified level IV arboretum, Civil War and Cherokee history, botanical gardens, and native plants, as well as raising awareness with educational programs for adults at schoolchildren. Their efforts have helped to conserve the approximately 45 native animal species inhabiting the Wildlife Wanderland, These animal species include a bald eagle, sandhill cranes, and endangered red wolves. State-of-the-art when it was built, the environmentally engineered main building has remained largely unchanged over the past 33 years. Features such as solar-heating systems, southern-facing windows, and 99% natural R-38 insulation continue to model sustainable-building practices to park visitors and squirrels looking to passively heat their nests.400 Garden RoadChattanooga, TN US
Shallowford Animal HospitalRead MoreVeterinarians Catherine Mabe and Troy Bearden designed Shallowford Animal Hospital to provide the most-advanced medical technology available, as well as creature comforts that cater to dogs' and cats' unique requirements. The American Association of Feline Practitioners has named them a Gold-certified Cat Friendly Practice, affirming that they have created a facility that caters to the distinct needs of its feline patients, both in the physical environment of the practice and in the delivery of medical treatment. The newly remodeled hospital boasts such amenities as separate dog and cat waiting areas and a grooming tub with built-in stairs to make the process less stressful on both the groomer and the animals. In addition to grooming and preventative medical services, Shallowford offers surgical procedures that rely on less invasive and less-painful laparoscopic and electrosurgical techniques than traditional surgery. The hospital has been certified by the American Animal Hospital Association since 1997, one of a handful of clinics to hold the designation.6200 Shallowford RoadChattanooga, TN US
Banfield Pet Hospital - ChattanoogaRead MoreIn 1955, a veterinarian named Warren J. Wegert had an idea that must have seemed revolutionary at the time. He wanted to provide pets with the same caliber of healthcare that their human owners received. Since then, Banfield Pet Hospital has upheld his values, treating companion creatures or owners dressed up as them with such success that PetSmart, a national chain of pet supply shops, invited the company to open pet hospitals inside its stores. At each of its locations, veterinarians conduct services that range from heartworm tests and immunizations to more involved procedures such as surgery or weight-loss plans.2130 Gunbarrel Rd.Chattanooga, TN US
Rock & Country Veterinarian ServicesRead MoreThe Rock n Country Veterinary Services team is captained by Dr. Jennifer Hatcher and Dr. John Laster—both animal lovers, farmers, and seasoned veterinarians. The professionals welcome animals of all shapes and sizes into their clinic, where they perform an array of veterinary services, from basic exams to emergency surgeries. The doctors and their crew travel to farms across town, treating curly tailed pigs to manicures, checking up on clucking chickens, and feeding medicine to stubborn llamas.6545 Arno RoadCollege Grove, TN US

I spend a lot of my time thinking about kind of goofy stuff. For example, this article about Rolling Stone re-verdicting many albums over the years got me thinking about verdict scales. I'm reasonably happy with the Maximum PC scale, our average and median scores skew a little high, but that's partly because we tend to review stuff that we think readers are going to be interested in, since we have limited time and pages in the mag. The thing that I don't like is that there's a fairly wide swath of no-man's-land between a 6 verdict and the dreaded deuce that we rarely utilize.
To give you a point of reference, a verdict of 6 represents a product that very few people should spend their money on. The product performs only a limited function, and you'd be interested in purchasing it only if you have need of that one function. We reserve the 2 verdict for products that don't work, that don't have any hope of working, and that you wouldn't want even if they did work. (We also occasionally give 1 verdicts, exclusively to products that have all the qualities of a 2 but also do actual physical harm to the tester or his computer.)
But, I wonder, do we actually need this level of granularity for PC hardware reviews? I'm starting to think that 11 different verdicts is too many for PC hardware. (I'm not even going to talk about the crazy 100 point scale that PC Gamer uses.) I wonder if we could actually mimic the scale that stock analysts use, with five gradations--Strong Buy, Buy, Neutral, Don't Buy, Strong Don't Buy (we'd come up with sassier names for the magazine, never fear). I think that using a less complex scale would allow us to actually use the entire thing, with products more evenly distributed across a typical bell curve. Strong Don't Buy would be reserved for products that don't actually work, while Strong Buy would be reserved for products that would currently be worthy of a Kick Ass award.
I would never suggest ditching verdicts altogether. CGW bravely tried that last year, and they switched back to numerical verdicts within a few months. I know lots of people use verdicts as a substitute for reading a review, which I find overly trusty. When I'm reading verdicted reviews, I use the score partially to determine whether I should read the actual review. I'm much more likely to read an extremely positive or extremely negative review than I am to read a middling review, especially if I'm not interested in making a purchase and am only reading for entertainment. If I'm shelling out my hard-earned cash, then I don't just read the reviews, I actually study them.
What do you guys think? Let me know, by posting in the comments below.
[Addition 5/23/07] For the record, I wouldn't suggest changing to a 1-5 scale. I think that the typcial five-star scale has the same problems our current verdict system has. My suggestion is to actually make the verdicts Strong Don't Buy, Don't Buy, Neutral, Buy, and Strong Buy.

Reading Caldwell's Tobacco Road is reminiscent of watching an episode of Dukes of Hazzard and reading Flannery O'Connor at the same time…
First, an anecdote:
Sometime back in my graduate school days I ran into an article in which the scholar spent a number of pages complaining that Charles Dickens didn't create characters – rather, he created caricatures, exaggerated depictions of humanity. While I saw the guy's point, it didn't make me love Dickens any less. It seems to me Dickens' caricatures (whether an Ebeneezer Scrooge or a Samuel Pickwick) vibrate with more of this thing we call life than most "realistic" literary characters (I'm looking at you, Emma Bovary).
Another anecdote:
I was a voracious reader as a child. Growing up as I did in the South, where for too many folks "reading" consisted of a) checking on how the Tarheels or Gamecocks or Cavaliers did, or b) reading (and usually badly misinterpreting) the Bible, my interests in books and learning made me both an anomaly and an object of suspicion, especially among my peers.
It also allowed me access to secret, forbidden worlds. Like the world of Erskine Caldwell. Continue reading

Manhattan, KS (Sports Network) - Collin Klein rushed for a pair of touchdowns and threw for one more, as No. 7 Kansas State punched its ticket to the Fiesta Bowl with an emphatic 42-24 drubbing of the 23rd-ranked Texas Longhorns on Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
Klein, a Heisman Trophy candidate, threw for 184 yards on 8-of-14 passing, while running for 103 yards on 23 carries. John Hubert also had a huge day on the ground for the Wildcats (11-1, 8-1 Big 12), running for three touchdowns and 66 yards on 14 carries.
Tyler Lockett hauled in two passes for 73 yards and a touchdown as the Wildcats bounced back nicely from a forgettable 52-24 loss to Baylor on Nov. 17.
Kansas State ends its conference schedule in a tie for the top spot with Oklahoma, who topped TCU earlier on Saturday, but the Wildcats will get the BCS bid as a result of a 24-19 win over Oklahoma back in September. The Sooners, however, are still alive to receive an at-large bid to a bowl game.
"I think we played really well," Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said. "We had some really good things happen tonight and the guys played hard."
Case McCoy threw for 314 yards and two touchdowns in place of David Ash and Malcolm Brown caught six passes for 43 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 40 yards and a touchdown for the Longhorns (8-4, 5-4), who finished the regular season on a two-game losing streak. Jaxon Shipley also caught a touchdown pass in the losing effort for Texas.
Trailing 17-14 midway through the third quarter, Klein led an 11-play, 67- march, which Hubert capped with a 2-yard TD sprint, which made it 21-17 with 47 seconds to play in the third quarter.
The Wildcats ran away with it from there.
After forcing a three-and-out, Kansas State got the ball back at its own 45 and quickly made it a two-score game when Klein found Lockett wide open along the left sideline for a 55-yard touchdown, making it 28-17 early in the final quarter.
The Longhorns had a chance to cut into the lead on their ensuing drive, but Nick Jordan missed a 40-yard field goal.
After forcing a three-and-out, Texas again had a chance to trim the margin, but on fourth down, Quandre Diggs muffed the punt and Kansas State got the ball back on the Texas 39.
Klein and Hubert combined to rush the ball eight times following the recovery and Hubert capped the 39-yard drive with a 1-yard TD plunge to make it 35-17 with 3:11 remaining.
On the next Longhorns possession, McCoy was intercepted by Allen Chapman, who returned the ball 35 yards to the Texas 10 before Klein finished off a short 2-play drive with a 9-yard touchdown run.
McCoy hit Brown with a 9-yard touchdown strike with just over a minute to play to cap the scoring.
"Collin Klein did some great things in the fourth quarter and was physical and he also made the perfect throw that really put us in trouble," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "(I am) proud of the effort our guys put out. I thought they did exactly what we asked them to do. We will leave tomorrow, learn where we are playing our bowl game, and we will regroup and get ready to work."
After a three-and-out on the Longhorns' first possession of the game, things didn't improve much on their second drive, as McCoy was picked off by Nigel Malone, who returned the ball 29 yards and appeared to score the first touchdown of the game.
The play was reviewed however, and it was determined that Malone let go of the ball before he crossed the goal line. K-State was awarded possession at the Texas 1-yard line and Klein bowled his was in for the score and an early 7-0 lead.
Kansas State bridged the first and second quarters with an extensive 13-play, 82-yard march to the Texas 17, but on 3rd-and-5, Klein floated one over the middle and was intercepted by Adrian Phillips.
Following the pick, Texas took over on the 20 and on the first play of the drive, McCoy swung one out to Daje Johnson, who got to the outside and rumbled down the left sideline for 70 yards to the Wildcats' 10.
The Kansas State defense held, though, as the Longhorns were forced to settle for a 37-yard field goal off the boot of Jordan, cutting the deficit to 7-3.
The Wildcats were forced to punt on their next drive and Texas got the ball back on the 28 with 10 1/2 minutes to go in the opening half.
McCoy led a 7-play, 72-yard drive to the K-State 14 before finishing the trek by fitting a tough pass between two defenders to Shipley for the touchdown and a 10-7 lead.
Texas went for a little trickery on its final offensive play of the first half, going with a fake field goal attempt, but the pass fell incomplete and the Longhorns held a 10-7 cushion at halftime.
The Wildcats got the ball to begin the second half and quickly marched 75 yards in seven plays before Klein timed an option pitch to Hubert perfectly for the 2-yard touchdown before getting drilled to the turf, making it a 14-10 game.
On the second play of the Longhorns' ensuing drive McCoy hit Jonathan Gray for 30 yards and D.J. Monroe ran for 46 yards two plays later down to the K- State 4. Brown finished the 7-play, 90-yard drive with a 2-yard TD plunge to put Texas back up 17-14 with 7:24 on the third-quarter clock.

VISIONAR scholars tutor at-risk high school students; and other news (see attachment).
Besides maintaining high grades, VISIONAR students are required to dedicate 4 hours a month to community service,
To fulfill this second requirement, Graciela (VISIONAR's coordinator) and the five scholarship recipients started a program that provides one-on-one tutoring to at-risk high school students at Colegio Nacional San Martín in San Francisco, Argentina.
VISIONAR students set up office hours at the school, where students can come by and ask for help in the areas of expertise of each VISIONAR student. Pamela is helping with English lessons, Maxi, Emi and Angela help with math, Maxi also helps with Physics, and Gastón helps with biology.
Maxi commented that one of the students he is helping is very smart, but unmotivated. So besides explaining math concepts, Maxi and the other VISIONAR students are fulfilling a much higher role of inspiring and guiding their younger counterparts.
VISIONAR and Asociación Atrapasueños are very grateful to Colegio Nacional San Martín and to principal Gabriela Vastik for giving our students the opportunity to contribute through this tutoring program and to inspire other students.
Probably one of the most rewarding aspects of a program like VISIONAR is when a student meets for the first time the sponsor that has been supporting him or her with a VISIONAR scholarship. It is a moment of gratitude, mutual admiration and overall joy. And if the meeting is a surprise for one of them, all the more exciting!
That is what happened earlier this year when VISIONAR scholar Maximiliano Senno agreed to surprise his sponsor, Flavia Lamberghini. Maxi lives in San Francisco, Argentina, and is in his third year of Chemical Engineering school at Universidad Tecnológica Nacional. Flavia, a San Francisco native as well, lives with her family in Chicago. The meeting was arranged in Sao Paolo, Brazil, with the excuse of taping an interview on VISIONAR for Argentinean television.
As Flavia went from her hotel room to the lobby for her "interview", she did not suspect Maxi was waiting for her at the end of her elevator ride. When the door opened, the few seconds of confusion were followed by a combination of hugs, laughter and tears. It was a memorable instant that marked their hearts as well as the hearts of those around them.
Maxi and Flavia then had a long conversation, but the moment transcended words. It was the meeting of two kind souls, both enabling a dream: one by providing her generous support, the other one by making the best of the opportunity presented to him. The connection was palpable, even to those of us who had played accomplice and were fortunate to spend that weekend with them.
What about the interview for Argentinean television? We are told they are editing the story and fine-tuning the show's structure before the story can air. But that is accessory to what happened that weekend in Sao Paolo: a special bond was created between Maxi and Flavia that I venture to say will last a very long time.

First VISIONAR graduate and new VISIONAR scholar
The first quarter of 2012 has been very eventful for the organization, with our first VISIONAR graduate and a new VISIONAR scholar on our roster of outstanding students.
Karen Tatiana Centurion is the first VISIONAR scholarship recipient to have completed her coursework. In December 2011, Karen finished the program to be certified as Human Resources manager and is ready to receive her diploma from Insitucion Cervantes after presentation of her thesis in a few weeks (scheduled for April 2012). Karen's final grade point average was 7.8 / 10, equivalent of a B in the US grading system.
Karen's parents and siblings Rosana, Nadia and Oscar are very proud of her accomplishment. With her degree in Human Resources, Karen plans to move to a larger city in Argentina, possibly Cordoba or Santa Fe, where she is hoping to get a job so that she can embark on her next project: to continue studying in a national university and to expand her horizons, possibly in the area of psychology.
Karen, VISIONAR wishes you continued success! As you finish one important chapter and start another, we would like to leave this quote with you: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams" (Eleanor Roosevelt).
Continuing with our mission to help one student at a time, in the month of February we brought on board a new VISIONAR student, Pamela Pinciroli.
Pamela graduated high school from Escuela Normal Superior Dr Nicolas Avellaneda, in San Francisco, with a GPA of 8.73/10 (equivalent to A- in the US grading system). Pamela is now enrolled in FASTA (Fraternidad de Agrupaciones Santo Tomas de Aquino), in San Francisco, Argentina, to pursue a three-year degree in English studies / translation. After getting her degree, Pamela is determined to pursue further education in studies in International Relations.
Pamela has proven herself not only academically but also as an important contributor to the community with various volunteering activities: at a retirement home, at the local library, and tutoring other students. In addition, in 2011 Pamela was selected by the US Embassy among 12 Argentine students to participate in a 3-month Youth Ambassadors program in the US. During that program, Pamela had the opportunity to do community service in Washington DC and Johnson City, TN.
VISIONAR welcomes Pamela and wishes her great success!

I just checked out of this hotel this morning and I wanted to write a review as soon as possible. I was staying here while at a conference at CSU Sacramento for 4 nights and I was incredibly pleased with the accommodations. The hotel is right off the freeway and is very easy to find.x
The room was quite spacious and quiet, especially staying in one of the back corners. The bed and linens seemed clean and well maintained. The bed itself was comfortable, with the only exception being the pillows, which were a little unsupportive, but I have rarely found a hotel that has pillows I like.
The customer service was impeccable. I once had to call down to the front desk because of a problem with the tv (which I suspect what my fault) and they had it fixed within minutes. The check-in and check-out process was very easy. Their attention to detail was refreshing.
There is only one issue I have with this hotel and it's not anything the hotel can fix. The location of the hotel on its street is such that you can only enter from one direction of traffic. By this I mean that you can only turn right into the parking lot from the street, so every time you need to get back to the hotel, you have to go around the block to get there, especially if coming from the wrong direction. Again, nothing the hotel has control over, but something to be aware of if you're driving.
Overall, I loved staying at this hotel. The great service, convenient location to campus, and comfortable accommodations more than make up for the inconvenience of the street location. I would highly recommend this to anybody looking to stay near campus or near-ish to downtown. Thanks to the great staff here that made the stay so enjoyable.

See Breaking Bad's Amazing Alternate Ending [UPDATE]By: Erika Watts - November 17, 2013
Come up with a list of the top five ways you imagined Breaking Bad would end. You might have thought Walt would go on an all-out rampage or maybe teach his family a lesson or two for daring to disrespect him. While the ending to Breaking Bad was as close to perfect as you can get when wrapping up a series no one wants to see end, an alternate ending has been posted to YouTube and it is awesome.
The video was originally posted to a YouTube account under the name of Michael Davies, who is the producer of Talking Bad, the post Breaking Bad discussion show. [UPDATE] The video was later pulled from the Davies account, but not before someone saved it. Check out the 3:40 video below.
Is "awesome" a strong enough word to describe how good that Breaking Bad alternate ending is? Probably not. When Bryan Cranston wakes up from his nightmare, you're probably thinking "Oh great, another one of those 'it was all a dream' endings. Boo." And then Jane Kaczmarek, who played the mom Lois on Malcolm in the Middle, popped out from under the sheets and all was right with the world.
What did you think of the alternate ending to Breaking Bad? Add your comments below.
In the video, Cranston's Hal wakes up terrified and tells his wife about the horrible dream he had about being a brilliant scientist and becoming a meth cook and killer. "Oh, I knew this was going to happen," Lois said. "You grow a beard and all of a sudden you think you're Osama bin Laden."
Hal also told his wife about his encounters with Tuco's horrible Uncle Tio, who repeatedly rang his bell, and about working with "man-child" Jesse. "He would always say things like 'Hey bi—.' The 'b word', he would use the 'b word."
Cranston's Malcolm in the Middle character told his wife, "The only thing that made sense in the whole dream was that I still walked around in my underwear." After he attempted (and failed) to have sex with Lois, Hal turned off the light and just before the clip ended, we saw Heisenberg's hat on a chair next to Hal's bed.
For any Breaking Bad fans looking forward to the DVD/Blu-Ray release of the series, the box set including all five seasons will be released on November 26.[Image via YouTube]

A reader altered us to the attack on cyclists and Bike Portland has posted about it. "Two cyclists said they were attacked by three teenagers near a north Portland bus stop on Wednesday. "
I posted earlier about how I love my new 3 Watt LED light. I do - I still love it, but Princeton Tec has sent me their soon to be released DOUBLE 3 Watt LED offering. 2 HAS to be better than 1 right?
Reading about chasing an owl on Bike Seattle, I remembered the animal encounters I've had on my bike
- Rode through the middle of a cow carcass during the Tour of Willamette
- Watched a crow fly through legendary mechanic Eamon Stanley's rear wheel during our legendary ride to Snoqualmie Pass
- Avoided the squirrel that jumped up onto a fender, off a shoulder, and the back of my fellow riders
- Stopped to inspect a road kill badger (very cautiously cause badgers are mean)
- Seen enough dead possums to conclude they are the stupidest animal
- Rode over a seagull on Alki, felt really bad for about 32 seconds, until realizing there's no shortage of seagulls (I also never liked that Jonathon Livingston Seagull novella)
- Slowed way down and rode really cautiously past a small moose during our tour of South East Alaska (a small moose means a big moose is nearby)
Win the best custom bike ever ever at the Handmade Bicycle Show being staged in San Jose, USA, in March. Nine legendary bike builders are collaborating on the one-of-kind bike and raffling it off. Given that's 9 builders instead of one, I have to wonder if it'll turn into a Monster Garage like mistake or work of combined genius?
My all-time fav custom bike is a Davidson. What's yours?
Thanks to BikeBiz for the story.
Schooner Exact, "a local, small batch microbrewery focused on quality, handcrafted ales," is having their release party on Saturday the 20th, 7:00 PM, at The Beveridge Place.

Health Program sharpens focus on improving conditions that affect community health
Kresge's Health Program has refined its grantmaking strategy to reflect external changes, like the ongoing implementation of the Affordable Care Act, and lessons learned through the activities funded over the past several years. "We're more persuaded than ever that the right place to focus is on the upstream factors that affect community health," says David Fukuzawa, managing director of the program.
Technology can boost student success at community colleges, report says
Community colleges stand as the only or the last chance for millions of students, but too few of those students actually earn a post-secondary credential. Of students who started a public, two-year college in 2006, only about 36 percent had obtained a credential by 2012.
Staying connected to Kresge helps thousands get news from foundation
Kresge reminds friends and partners that it's easy to stay connected with the foundation via emailed news alerts, social media and RSS. These channels provide news and information about any new grant opportunities, refinements in program goals and about the activities of Kresge-supported nonprofit organizations. News published on kresge.org reaches almost 10,000 people. Subscribers can choose to receive all Kresge news or information only about specific program areas. We share kresge.org news and information from many other sources on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.

Feature-based attentional modulation increases with stimulus separation in divided-attention tasks.
ABSTRACT Attention modifies our visual experience by selecting certain aspects of a scene for further processing. It is therefore important to understand factors that govern the deployment of selective attention over the visual field. Both location and feature-specific mechanisms of attention have been identified and their modulatory effects can interact at a neural level (Treue and Martinez-Trujillo, 1999). The effects of spatial parameters on feature-based attentional modulation were examined for the feature dimensions of orientation, motion and color using three divided-attention tasks. Subjects performed concurrent discriminations of two briefly presented targets (Gabor patches) to the left and right of a central fixation point at eccentricities of +/-2.5 degrees , 5 degrees , 10 degrees and 15 degrees in the horizontal plane. Gabors were size-scaled to maintain consistent single-task performance across eccentricities. For all feature dimensions, the data show a linear increase in the attentional effects with target separation. In a control experiment, Gabors were presented on an isoeccentric viewing arc at 10 degrees and 15 degrees at the closest spatial separation (+/-2.5 degrees ) of the main experiment. Under these conditions, the effects of feature-based attentional effects were largely eliminated. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that feature-based attention prioritizes the processing of attended features. Feature-based attentional mechanisms may have helped direct the attentional focus to the appropriate target locations at greater separations, whereas similar assistance may not have been necessary at closer target spacings. The results of the present study specify conditions under which dual-task performance benefits from sharing similar target features and may therefore help elucidate the processes by which feature-based attention operates.

Article: Using neuronal populations to study the mechanisms underlying spatial and feature attention.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Visual attention affects both perception and neuronal responses. Whether the same neuronal mechanisms mediate spatial attention, which improves perception of attended locations, and nonspatial forms of attention has been a subject of considerable debate. Spatial and feature attention have similar effects on individual neurons. Because visual cortex is retinotopically organized, however, spatial attention can comodulate local neuronal populations, whereas feature attention generally requires more selective modulation. We compared the effects of feature and spatial attention on local and spatially separated populations by recording simultaneously from dozens of neurons in both hemispheres of V4. Feature and spatial attention affect the activity of local populations similarly, modulating both firing rates and correlations between pairs of nearby neurons. However, whereas spatial attention appears to act on local populations, feature attention is coordinated across hemispheres. Our results are consistent with a unified attentional mechanism that can modulate the responses of arbitrary subgroups of neurons.Neuron 06/2011; 70(6):1192-204.

Article: Visual attention: The past 25 years[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This review focuses on covert attention and how it alters early vision. I explain why attention is considered a selective process, the constructs of covert attention, spatial endogenous and exogenous attention, and feature-based attention. I explain how in the last 25 years research on attention has characterized the effects of covert attention on spatial filters and how attention influences the selection of stimuli of interest. This review includes the effects of spatial attention on discriminability and appearance in tasks mediated by contrast sensitivity and spatial resolution; the effects of feature-based attention on basic visual processes, and a comparison of the effects of spatial and feature-based attention. The emphasis of this review is on psychophysical studies, but relevant electrophysiological and neuroimaging studies and models regarding how and where neuronal responses are modulated are also discussed.Vision research 04/2011; 51(13):1484-525.

We believe that budget discussions should consider the growing role that institutions like ours play in educating our young people, long before freshmen check into their residence hall rooms for fall semester.
In a recent editorial, the Wall Street Journal wrote a disastrous economic prescription for Illinois, one that calls for a "big bang" of the sort that has blown up Kansas' budget and turned that state into a poster child for reckless and short-sighted financial management.

According to a map put together by reddit user, bigafricanhat, using statistics from StateMaster.com, Illinois is apparently the WORST for nonprofit agencies.
While Illinoisians rang in the New Year with family and friends, a little-noticed new forecast released by the Governor's Office of Management and Budget (GOMB) on the first of the year leaves no room for celebration.
Gov. Pat Quinn estimates that the pension liability grows by $12.6 million every day. We've heard about this issue for so long that it's become a jumble of doom-laden numbers all so large they are difficult to comprehend.
