Things changed that day when an army of mechanized aliens burst through a rip in the sky and invaded New York City.
That day—at least in the Marvel universe where the Avengers reside—people realized they were surrounded by near-incomprehensible forces and powers, things that we mere mortals have very little control over.
The agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. inhabit that smaller world filled with larger-than-life characters—a liaison of sorts between Avenger wannabes and the rest of us. "It means we're the line between the world and a much weirder world," says Agent Grant Ward in the first season. "We protect people from the news they're not ready to hear. And when we can't do that, we keep them safe."
But what if S.H.I.E.L.D. can't protect itself from itself?
Agent Ward is emblematic of the organization's state of flux. Unmasked as a Hydra agent in Season 2, he's now apparently working for the enemy—doing his part to bring the world to evil's heel (or perhaps destroy it altogether). The agency itself has been officially disbanded and discredited. But Director Phil Coulson and his loyal cadre of agents continue to fight the good fight, and you can bet they won't stop crusading for the cause of truth and justice until all the world's calamities have been cleansed. (Or until ABC cancels the show, whichever comes first.)
The second season revolves around an alien obelisk that could remake the world in frightening ways. Daniel Whitehall—an ageless Hydra bigwig with a penchant for cruel experimentation—aims to use its power for his own nefarious purposes. A mysterious doctor also wants access to the obelisk. But his main goal seems to be to reunite with his daughter, Skye—who also happens to be S.H.I.E.L.D.'s creative conscience.
Along with Skye, Coulson's bright, flawed and distinctly non-superagent-filled team includes Melinda May, who reluctantly offers her own near-lethal abilities; Lance Hunter and Antoine Triplett, who provide some much-needed brawn; and the tech duo of Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons, a Rosencrantz & Guildenstern-like pairing that collectively answers to the moniker FitzSimmons.
While big-screen plot points from Avenger members' various escapades impact the program's direction, don't expect Thor to make many cameos here. While bedazzled superheroes look just fine on the supersize movie screen, the more episodic confines of television demand a bit more subtlety (if only a bit). Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is as much X-Files and The A Team as it is The Avengers, and cosmic superpowers take a backseat to nifty gadgetry, agent interplay and ground-bound adventuring.
Superhero stories have proven to be an effective conduit to poke at some profound questions. What is good and evil? What makes us heroic? What makes us human? And with Agents being the brainchild of Avengers director Joss Whedon (who's also known for having done some serious thematic probing with television's Buffy the Vampire Slayer), this show seems prepped to follow suit.
For all that promise, though, Agents still has some sizable problems. These agents can feel positively gritty, and the show has gotten progressively darker. It is inherently violent—filled with fights and shootouts and occasionally grotesque corpses. Sexually charged double entendres can fly more than the superheroes do. And foul language can be an issue.
One could say, then, that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. makes an effort to try to do the right things, and that's important. But just like the agency itself, the television show has been infiltrated with a few nefarious elements.

Episode Reviews
A killing explosion rocks the top floor of a building, and a man imbued with artificial superpowers climbs up and saves a woman from the inferno. In a later slo-mo simulation, we see a man exploding (which sounds far more gross than what's seen onscreen). A charred, nearly skeletonized body lays on the floor of the laboratory. The men infected with superpowers glow underneath their skin when they're in danger of blowing up. A man is shot in the shoulder and plummets from a great height. He survives and is later shot in the forehead with a heavy tranquilizer. Agents and others get into fights: Fists fly, blenders are thrown and drawers are used as shields (without all the cool periods). An agent is injected with truth serum.
Women show cleavage and suggestive double entendres are said. Coulson mentions that he drank mai tais in Tahiti, and Simmons is seen downing a beer. Someone mistakes a picture of a porcupine for feces. Characters say "b‑‑ch" (twice), "h‑‑‑" (three or four times) and "a‑‑" (not quite fully once). God's name is misused a small handful of times.
Speaking of God, Agent Hill refers to Thor as a god. When someone says that, technically, Thor is not a god, Hill responds, "Well, you haven't been near his arms." Coulson says he saw a "white light" when he was on the edge of life and death.
"The Things We Bury"
In flashback, Whitehall forces someone to touch the obelisk, which turns the man into a charred corpse. But Whitehall's next victim resists the obelisk's killing powers. Then, decades later, Whitehall sees that the woman hasn't aged. So he dissects her to find out her secret (the camera showing needles drawing out fluids and doctors ripping off skin and weighing organs). Her corpse is later dropped in the forest and found by her mourning husband.
A fight between Grant Ward and his brother, Christian, results in shovel smacks and tree thumps. (Christian's face ends up covered in blood.) Later, a reporter details how Christian was found dead, along with his mother and father, in the flaming wreckage of their home. A man interrogated by S.H.I.E.L.D. ally Morse smashes his head against a table, breaking a cyanide capsule embedded in his cheekbone. (The suicide attempt doesn't work.) People are shot. Someone has an artery cut, leading to bloody battlefield surgery.
Morse and Hunter (who were once married) kiss passionately and strip off their shirts before ducking into a vehicle to have sex. We hear a reference to a story involving a gift from above brought by angels; Whitehall alleges that the "angels" in the story are aliens, bearing the obelisk. Characters say "h---" five or six times, "d--n" twice and "b--tard" once. God's name is misused.
"End of the Beginning"
In this episode—which takes place right before the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier turn the world of S.H.I.E.L.D. upside down—Coulson and Co. are in search of the Clairvoyant, an evildoer who seems to know every move they make before they're made, and his cyborg protector Mike Peterson (aka Deathlok). But after Deathlok leads them to the Clairvoyant, and Ward decides to kill the supposed psychic instead of taking him in, Coulson suddenly fears that all is not what it seems. Turns out, the Clairvoyant might not have been psychic after all—just someone with supersecurity clearance (and certainly not the guy Ward shot).
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s been compromised!
We see Ward kill a man who is supposedly in a vegetative state. (Blood stains the man's shirt.) Deathlok installs a new piece of equipment on his person—a weaponized wristband that painfully melds itself with his body. He throws an agent around and stomps on the guy's chest, leaving him in critical condition. We see grotesque burns. Lots of guns are fired (with several rounds hitting Deathlok to no apparent affect). Walls and columns are blown up. A man blasts through a ceiling and jumps several stories.
Wine is poured, and someone tries to recall how much he drank when he was in his 30s. Duplicity is more the rule than the exception. An agent speculates as to what another's zodiac sign might be. We hear "p‑‑‑," "d‑‑n" and "a‑‑" once or twice each, and "h‑‑‑" a half-dozen times. God's name is misused.

The rankings for the program at Eastern Michigan University are from the website schooldigger.com, which last year ranked the ECA 41st in the state.

NASA postpones climate satellite launch to Oct 28
NASA on Wednesday set October 28 for its planned launch of a satellite to help weather forecasters predict extreme storms and offer scientists a better view of climate change.
NASA on Wednesday set October 28 for its planned launch of a satellite to help weather forecasters predict extreme storms and offer scientists a better view of climate change.
A decommissioned NASA satellite, the biggest piece of US space junk to fall in 30 years, has crash-landed but the precise location is not yet known, the US space agency said early Saturday.
A six-ton satellite hurtled toward Earth on Friday, and NASA admitted it had little idea where the biggest piece of US space junk in 30 years will crash into the planet.
The US space agency has narrowed down its prediction of when a defunct six-ton satellite will crash back to Earth, saying on Wednesday that it is expected to land on September 23, US time. ...
What goes up must come down. But where?
The US space agency plans to launch two unmanned spacecraft Thursday that will chase each other around the Moon as they use gravity measurements to draw an unprecedented map of its inner workings.
The US space agency plans to launch next week a solar-powered spacecraft called Juno that will journey to the gassy planet of Jupiter in search of how the huge, stormy giant was formed.
The US space agency's unmanned Curiosity rover will explore a mountain on Mars that should read like "a great novel," revealing if signs of life ever existed on the red planet, NASA said Friday.
The US space shuttle is part cargo truck, part passenger bus, part airplane built for orbit, and has known soaring highs and devastating lows during its 30-year career.
NASA astronauts and engineers fought off tears Wednesday as Atlantis made its final approach toward Earth, bringing an end to the 30-year shuttle program and closing a chapter in human spaceflight.
Mark Kelly, the US astronaut who commanded the final flight by the shuttle Endeavour, announced Tuesday he is retiring to spend more time with his lawmaker wife as she recovers from a gunshot wound to the head.
The US space agency sent its last shuttle, Atlantis, out to the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center so it can prepare for the final launch of the American shuttle program in July.
US astronauts on Tuesday will try out a new set of exercises to prepare them for the change in pressure they encounter on their spacewalk outside the International Space Station, NASA said.
NASA said Friday it is aiming to launch the space shuttle Atlantis on July 8 for the last-ever flight of the 30-year-old American shuttle program.
A 21-year-old Swede was indicted on charges of hacking into the computer systems of NASA and US networking giant Cisco, the US Justice Department said.

Lighting and Rendering with mental ray in Maya with Eric Keller shows how to master practical mental ray techniques for rendering models created in Maya. This course walks through the most efficient and innovative mental ray techniques, including direct versus indirect lighting methods, creating different types of shadows, using the new ShadowMap camera, and reusing shadow and final gathering maps. A chapter on optimizing render times and enhancing render quality is also included. Exercise files are included with the course.
The other fundamental concept of lighting is indirect lighting. Indirect lighting is created when the photons from a light source enter an environment and then they start to bounce around within that environment, creating essentially ambient lighting. So in this render, we can see an example of direct lighting. There is a light source coming in through this hole in the roof of this little environment, and it's creating cast shadows when it hits the objects in the scene. So this has only direct lighting. When we add indirect lighting, we start to see a variety of different phenomena occurring.
For one thing, this is the same scene with just direct lighting added to it, and we still see our cast shadows from our direct light source, but now we can see that there is light within these shadows, and this is created by photons of light bouncing around, and they hit these surfaces, so there's still a little bit of dim lighting here. You can also see that there's color bleeding. The color of these objects is actually picked up by the photons of lights bouncing off the surfaces and hitting the wall, so there is a little bit of green here, a little blue underneath and little bit of red.
There is also a type of shadowing that's associated with indirect lighting, and this type of shadowing is known as ambient occlusion, and what that means is ambient light as it bounces around within an environment has a hard time getting to the cracks and crevices of that environment. So we start to see this darkening around the corners of the scene. So there are fewer photons in ambient light getting into the corners here than they are bouncing off of the wall. It's even more obvious in this scene, which is just a rendering of the dining room, and you can see the darkening here.
This scene is set up so that you only see the ambient occlusion in the environment, and so we can see that the corners of the room around the window frames, around the chair, where the chair meets the floor, fewer photons of light can get there. So we get what's known as ambient occlusion shadowing, and there are variety of ways to create these kinds of effects using mental ray, which we'll go into detail throughout this course.
There are currently no FAQs about Lighting and Rendering with mental ray in Maya.

harcus and I rode the UTBDR section through there in late June. I told him the story of the road in Wyoming that now connects to Farson. It used to look like the swell (it traversed sagebrush, wetlands and the Green River), but when the O&G folks needed a transport road, they paved it and donated it to the state of Wyo.
I'm surprised it has taken this long but you're going to see major impact and changes. The truth lies somewhere between SUWA's position of no development or single track and the Industry position of park your car and stop heating your home if you don't like it. If we weren't exporting LNG ((NattyG)) and OIL to make money (we should stockpile our own resources, IMHO), I would support the Industry position more than I do. Unfortunately, that's not how the USofA works.....
My advice is to enjoy it as much as you can before the changes get rolling.......

firmware upgrade for 50D?
Feb 26, 2009
I read on another forum that the newer models are being shipped with a firmware update from 1.0.3.
I am assuming that if/when a firmware upgrade becomes available it won't be difficult to access it. I have no idea if Canon will notify those who have registered their cameras.

Has anyone here read this book and if so should I buy it?
I would like to know that. So I think I will buy it.
If you already have a foregone conclusion as to what you'll find, why bother? On the other hand, if you want to learn something you maybe didn't know about American history, and the shaping of the U.S. Constitution, this is probably one of the best sources (caveat: I haven't read it myself)
I'm not one for electronic reading, but if you don't mind reading things that way...

It is a must read
I can't help but find it ironic how so many have come to hate Federalism (which, like it or lump it, is our form of government), yet we continue to gravitate toward the Federalist papers, quote them as gospel, and treat them as "days gone by."
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.
So I bought the book and have come to the conclusion in the first three essays that these men were light years smarter than we are. Here is an example
"For, in politics as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution."
Alexander Hamilton Federalist #1
So I bought the book and have come to the conclusion in the first three essays that these men were light years smarter than we are.
I think their inteligence could be found in the pragmatism they had. The sides could be as far apart as possible, yet had respect for, and knew that, others views were part of the process..... this even though the debate got so heated at times there were even life/death duals involved. In a polarized political environment, that is much a competition, as it is searching for good public policy, this sort of compromise, or meeting of minds, is much harder to come by. The ill effects of this set of unfortunate circumstances is heighted by a far more complex world of situations than of that time.
I am 49, bald, ugly, and don't own a single cool thing. Kids like me though.

CAMDEN, Ala. (AP) - A group of Alabama hunters is celebrating the catch of a lifetime: A 15-foot-long alligator weighing more than 1,000 pounds.
AL.com reports the monster gator was pulled from the water in south Alabama early Saturday during the state's alligator hunting season.
Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries biologists were able to measure the gator at 15 feet, but weighing it posed a challenge.
The first attempt completely destroyed a winch assembly used to hoist most average gators. So they had to use a backhoe to lift the animal. It weighed in at 1,011.5 pounds.
The gator is the largest ever legally killed by an Alabama hunter. It was caught by Mandy and John Stokes, Kevin Jenkins and his children, 16-year-old Savannah and 14-year-old Parker.

"Cyberspace is a literary invention and does not really exist, however much time we spend on the computer every day. There is no such space radically different from the empirical, material room we are sitting in, nor do we leave our bodies behind when we enter it, something one rather tends to associate with drugs or the rapture. But it is a literary construction we tend to believe in; and, like the concept of immaterial labor, there are certainly historical reasons for its appearance at the dawn of postmodernity which greatly transcend the technological fact of computer development or the invention of the Internet."
~ Fredric Jameson On William Gibson, Cyberspace and "Neuromancer"
"At one point in the comedy dead zone known as Seth MacFarlane's Ted 2, the title character—a stuffed toy bear voiced by Mr. MacFarlane—and his dimwitted best friend, John (Mark Wahlberg), visit a comedy club to engage in a favorite pastime: throwing bleak improv ideas at the comics onstage. So, seated in the back of the auditorium while cloaked in darkness, the friends start shouting out suggestions like 9/11, Robin Williams and Charlie Hebdo to the unnerved comics. The topics don't mean anything to Ted and John, who, like Mr. MacFarlane, take great pleasure in making others squirm. They could have just as easily yelled gang rape, the Holocaust and dead puppies."

It was in 2009 when my daughter introduced me to oDesk. She, being a young fulltime mom then, realized how convenient and more rewarding it was to be able to work and at the same time be home and take care of her baby. I have, for more than 25 years, focused my energies on fulltime mothering, homeschooling and ministry myself, so I can't agree with her more. I also find oDesk as a wonderful opportunity to combine my family and ministry roles with my desire to further enhance my personal skills. My experience with oDesk thus far has been very rewarding, in terms of personal growth in knowledge and skills, and also in terms of opportunity to develop good working relationships with clients. My objective is simply to provide high-quality and dependable service. I am a diligent worker, preferring to work independently but delivering quick and timely service.

TRANSCRIPTION - I transcribe for oDesk (now Upwork), the company itself! Transcription is not merely typing what you think you hear. This is a common misconception. Rather, it involves first active listening, then critical thinking, sometimes researching, and only then typing. So if you want a quality product, I am the person for you. I have extensive experience transcribing content from a vast array of disciplines and industries, in multiple styles (from strict verbatim to edited for improved readability), and with a variety of formats. An hour-long audio can sometimes translate into a 40-page transcript. In many projects, I am sometimes asked to supplement the transcript with summaries to condense the material down into a document only several pages long. I may do this for you as well if you like. OTHER SERVICES While the majority of my work on oDesk has revolved around transcription, I also have significant experience with the following: • Customer support • Helpdesk management: Freshdesk, Zendesk • Process-handling: Magento, Saasu • Copyediting and Proofreading • Virtual-assisting (administrative tasks) • Web research • Calendaring PERSONAL As for a little bit about my academic background, I hold a degree in physiological science from UCLA, a renowned research institution in the United States, where I grew up for 22 years. Then I earned a nursing degree and license in the Philippines. Personally, I am a contemplative with a deep well of creativity. I am usually brimming with thoughtful questions to ask and innovative ideas to share. I believe that my inquisitive nature is my greatest asset. So give me any box, and I will enclose myself in it, then think and work outside of it, and give it back to you containing whatever output you need. Contact me. Connect with me. Let us have a shared experience, and I guarantee you that I will do everything in my power to make it a positive one.

Katter Senate party nominee Bernard Gaynor posts offensive comments about not buying meat blessed by Muslims
- From: AAP
- January 25, 2013
SUSPENDED Katter Australian Party Senate nominee Bernard Gaynor has posted more inflammatory comments on Twitter, this time saying he wouldn't buy meat blessed by Muslims.
The Queenslander was suspended by KAP on Thursday after writing on Twitter that he wouldn't let gay teachers educate his children.
He took to Twitter again on Friday morning to echo comments reportedly made by KAP candidate, Jamie Cavanough, who plans to contest the Sydney seat of Greenwood at this year's federal election.
Fairfax Media reports that Mr Cavanough recently wrote on the Riverstone Community Group's Facebook page: "I would prefer to always buy non-halal as proceeds of halal goes to the Muslim community."

Solar panels on the moon and bugs that make fuel: sci-fi or smart grid?
By: SGN Staff
By Doug Peeples
SGN News Editor

Renewables and biofuels investments worldwide a fraction of fossil fuel support
Brilliant, innovative research and development have spawned numerous smart grid technologies that will help make an intelligent 21st century electric grid a reality. The flip side is that some concepts floating around are, well, pretty strange. But who knows? Who would have thought major oil companies would be spending millions to turn pond scum into fuel. Here are some of our favorite seemingly oddball efforts to come up with new sources of energy to power the smart grid.
First stop: the moon
Shimizu, a well-established Japanese construction company, doesn't just build skyscrapers and wind farms â€" and it doesn't necessarily see any reason to confine its brainstorming to planet Earth. The company routinely has come up some pretty futuristic projects, like offshore pyramid cities. But our favorite is solar panels on the moon. The panels would ring the moon's equator and shoot solar energy back home. We have no idea what the price tag would look like for a project like this, but Tokyo's planning to build a $2 billion robot moon base. Gotta give 'em credit for thinking (dreaming?) on a grand scale.
Let's stay in space just a little longer. In early 2009, California's Pacific Gas & Electric was asking regulators for approval to buy power from Solaren Corp., that is if the technology comes through. If it does, Solaren would launch huge solar collectors 23,000 miles into space to orbit over Fresno, and use communications satellite technology to ship the collected solar energy to a surface receiving station where it would be converted into electricity. We haven't heard much about this one lately, but PG&E made it pretty clear from the get-go that it wasn't putting any seed money into the project. Solaren acknowledged that there were more than a few challenges, not to mention lots of say so from the FCC, FAA and federal and state regulators.
Back to Earth
Is it possible to get free electricity out of thin air? A Brazilian scientist recently told the American Chemical Society that tests have shown that metals can be used to harvest the electric charges in humid air. The catch, unfortunately, is that the amount of power that can be harvested is incredibly small. While some supporters say it's a promising research topic, others say it's mostly an opportunity for scientists to argue with each other.
And remember Bloom Energy's Bloom Box, the distributed fuel cell that was going to replace power generation and transmission as we know it? The news broke early this year, and if you thought the box was long gone, you'd be wrong. Google and Walmart among other major corporations are using them, but unless you've got a lot of disposable income and some room, you might want to reconsider getting one. At this point, they're roughly the size of a parking space and cost about $750,000 (although the price is supposed to drop dramatically over the next 5 to 10 years). ADAN News reported recently that an IPO for Bloom Energy could be about 10 years away. We'll see. Some pretty bright people have directed some pretty harsh criticisms at the box.
And let's not forget about one of the pesky aspects of lithium ion batteries, the current power plant of choice for EVs. They cost way too much. But researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) recently said they might have uncovered a way to make battery electrodes with cheaper metals by using two common items: soap and wax. An explanation of the technology would make most of us scream, but PNNL's researchers think their work could lead the way to simpler technologies for making cheaper batteries.
Since biofuels are big in renewable energy circles these days and only going to get bigger, energy crop developer Ceres Inc.'s focus on "energy grasses" isn't really far-fetched at all, but it does underscore the vitality of this relatively new area of research in renewable energy technologies. The company is exploring how to get the most out of low-carbon energy grasses and improve biofuel yield. The cool thing here is the grasses can do quite well on marginal land that no self-respecting farmer would touch. Keep in mind that last year Sandia Laboratories said plant fibers could, and the number is conservative, produce 75 billion gallons of biofuel a year in the U.S.
Genetically modified bugs and oil
This is a favorite, even though it's a little old and the technology hasn't exactly been well-publicized. Silicon Valley scientists came up with a way to genetically modify insects to excrete crude oil after they (the insects) chow down on agricultural waste. The positives: The oil is renewable and carbon negative. And while early reports said the technology is expected to crank up to commercial scale by next year, we haven't seen much about it lately.
So, what do you think? Which of these concepts or technologies are winners, and which ones are, well, not? Add your comments in the Talk Back form below.
