LOS ANGELES (AP) — Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" is one of the most racist and heinous screeds in modern history, but officials say two rare early editions signed by him could go for more than $20,000 at an online auction on Thursday.
Nate Sanders, owner of Nate D. Sanders Auctions in Los Angeles, says he knows he'll catch a lot of flak for putting the rare 1925 and 1926 books up for bid.
He said he understands that. "But it is a piece of history. It is a very rare item."
Hitler was arrested and jailed for the attempt to seize power. He dictated "Mein Kampf," two volumes of autobiography and anti-Semitic manifesto, to Rudolf Hess while behind bars to raise money for his criminal defense.
Both volumes' fly-leaves feature Hitler's signature.
Sanders said volumes of "Mein Kampf" from the 1930s are common, but a copy signed by the author is rare.
Sanders is also auctioning off a leather trench coat he said was worn by Albert Speer, a Nazi government minister who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in the Nazi regime.
Selling Nazi memorabilia is prohibited in many European countries that saw the horrors of World War II.

My Lord, did anything better come out of ANTM than Kim Stolz? (Answer: Yes, totally.) I just adore this girl. So you'll all recall back at the Fiercee Awards where Kim was working the red carpet for MTV News and did a less-than-friendly interview with TyTy:
So I guess last night's episode of ANTM involved an awards-show themed photo shoot (inspired by the Fiercee Awards!), and one of the girls — who bears an uncanny resemblance to Kim — was given the task of being the "Interviewer with an Attitude." It was kind of obviously a jab at Kim.
This morning, Kim's fighting back on MTV's blog with an insincere letter to Tyra.
Not only is [the Fiercees] one of the nation's most anticipated awards shows, but it's also one of the more star-studded carpets that 221 West 26th Street has ever seen. Wait. What? Did someone say Carol Alt?
The Fiercee Awards bring young girls with the same dream together — and applauds them for such noble endeavors as "Ugliest Cry,†"Worst Wipeout†and "Craziest Phone Call.†Now, if winning one of those awards doesn't inspire confidence in our young models, what will?
The whole reason I'm writing this post, though, is that Kim tops it off with a positively BRILLIANT impression of TyTy that I just had to share with you all.
Tragically, MTV won't let me embed it, but you can watch it here.

Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter
By Nathan Smith
But Undertow no longer needs to depend on a physical distributor to get its music into record stores or online music outlets. With the influence of brick-and-mortar music outlets waning, digital distribution is sufficient.
And because the collective pays less to distribute its records through TuneCore, its artists see career-sustaining money sooner. In essence, TuneCore gives Undertow the same access larger bands have at a fraction of the cost.
"The music industry was traditionally all about distribution, and the cost of distribution and infrastructure [was] really, really high," Price says. "There were only a few companies in the world that could do it effectively. Digital distribution changed all that. In the digital world, you have digital music that replicates itself on demand as a perfect digital file, with no up-front costs, and it never runs out of stock.
"The metaphor is: Twenty years ago, I bump into you on the street and in your back pocket you have a CD or cassette of your band," he continues. "And I say, 'Tell you what — pay me $30, and that CD of your band that's in your back pocket will instantly be available at every Tower Records, with infinite inventory. Every time it sells in Tower, Tower will take their cut and you get the rest. That's what TuneCore is."
The Undertow Collective stresses that CDs aren't going to disappear just because digital music is becoming a dominant medium. Their artists will still release them (especially because some have separate record deals with indie labels such as Polyvinyl or Barsuk). The relationship between the buyer and seller in many cases is just more direct.
"You're just cutting out retail, you're cutting out distributors," Andrews says. "You're selling right to the fans, whether it's digital or actual CDs."
Despite the illusion that the Internet has created distance between artists and fans, the opposite seems to be true. If anything, technological advances have facilitated closer relationships. Buying music directly from a band's website creates the perception of a personal, one-to-one relationship.
Sometimes customers even have a direct hand in the creative process. When it came time for singer-songwriter David Bazan to self-release a DVD called Alone at the Microphone this year, he and Andrews turned to fans to help finance it.
"Whoever pre-ordered it, we sent them a download code to get the audio tracks separately," laughs Andrews, Bazan's manager. "It was sort of the old, 'Let us borrow your twelve bucks for a month and we'll give you some MP3s for free.'
"We did [the DVD thing] not knowing how we would make our money back on it. We sold a thousand of them before we even had them. By the time we ordered the first batch, a thousand of them were out the door. It's amazing.
"If you can find your five or six thousand loyal fans, you can make a really amazing career out of that," Andrews continues. "They'll come to every show, they'll tell [their] friends. They'll buy everything you put out, they'll buy the shirts."
It helps that Bazan — who used to front beloved indie-rock act Pedro the Lion — makes sure that his fan base gets its money's worth.
"Any time there's someone in a room where I'm playing, I need to do whatever I can, so that if it's possible, they're going to freak out and want to come back and bring people," Bazan says. "People ask me, guys who are just starting out, 'What do you do, how do you get going?' You just have to be good. And if you can't get your friends to come see you and keep coming back, then you don't got it. You gotta work harder and be better."
On September 30, 2007, Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood posted a brief missive on the band's official website, www.radiohead.com.
"Hello everyone. Well, the new album is finished, and it's coming out in 10 days;We've called it In Rainbows. Love from us all. Jonny"
The UK quintet directed fans to www.inrainbows.com, where they could obtain the album in two formats. For £40 (roughly $80), customers could buy a coffee table-book-like "discbox" which contained Rainbows on vinyl, CD and as a digital download. The other option was to order a MP3 download for whatever price you wanted to pay. Fifteen dollars, five dollars, even zero dollars — any amount was fair game.
Releasing new music exclusively via the Internet isn't a new concept. But never before had a hugely popular band so drastically cut out music industry middlemen when releasing a new album. Essentially, the quintet became a self-contained record label, distributor and record store — one that could operate independently from mainstream, traditional business models. Radiohead — and not the bean counters — controlled how and when fans heard its music.
The results sent shockwaves around the industry. Other big-name acts, like Brian Eno and David Byrne, followed the band's lead. Electrometal superstars Nine Inch Nails even one-upped Radiohead by releasing two free collections of music in 2008: Ghosts I-IV and The Slip.
Bob Andrews stresses that not every musician has the luxury to release albums in this way. "Bands like Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails can, because they already have fan bases," he notes. "But you're not going to ever break a new band like that, because you're immediately assigning zero value to their music."

I've been doing a lot of thinking about resolutions with the new year creeping up on us, and more specifically, I've been thinking about how setting resolutions for accomplishing something in a time frame of one year is both a good thing and a bad thing.
Resolutions are a good thing because they're an act of goal setting. Resolutions require putting down in words actual things that you want to do and achieve. You give these goals a time frame. This is motivating and a push to pursue something. But resolutions are also a bad thing because, well, it's an arbitrary time frame and sometimes, goals are fickle. They change mid-stream. They mold and shift. Sometimes, not accomplishing a resolution or goal within the time frame becomes a means of assessing failure. If you didn't reach a goal, you've failed, even if there were other things that popped up along the way that hindered (or changed or enhanced) pursuit of that goal.
For some people, that failure is in and of itself motivating. It encourages trying harder, readjusting, reassessing. It encourages finding what did work and aligning goals with those accomplishments. I don't deny that failure is proof of trying; it is.
For people like me, failure to meet a goal, though, is stressful. Rather than feeling like the other achievements were worthwhile, when I don't meet a resolution, I feel nothing but stress or frustration. Neither of those sensations are motivating for me. They don't actually cause me to want to work harder or to reassess. Instead, they make me feel defeated, which leads to disinterest. I lose steam. Of course, that doesn't mean I hate failure or fear it -- it's a part of every day life.
With me here?
In 2012, I set a goal of reading 220 books. In theory, if I counted the picture books I read, I met that goal. But I don't count picture books (some people do and that's fine), nor do I count manuscripts I've read (which totals around 20 this year). I came up quite short in my reading, even though I read nearly 160 books.
Even though I want to be stressed and defeated about this, since I didn't get to everything I wanted to book-wise this year I had hoped to back in January, I made a decision in October to quit worrying about it. I still kept track of the number of books I was reading. I still updated my Goodreads progress bar. But, I decided then that the quantity didn't matter. I'd rather read and do so with intention, with an eye toward following what it was that interested me reading-wise. Instead of trying to blow through a ton of shorter books, I let myself read a few monster-sized titles, even though it slowed numeric progress down. I picked up adult titles that looked interesting to me and read them, even though a shorter YA title would give me more books read. I am a slow reader, despite how much I read. I can't normally finish a book in a day or two, unless I'm scrimping on close and critical reading.
At the end of this year, I find myself really satisfied with what and how much I read, even though I did not meeting my goal. I ignored that number, 220. I pretended it didn't exist.
In doing so, I quit stressing about it.
It's all self-induced, but I think anyone who reads (as a blogger, as a librarian, as a reader more generally) puts pressure on themselves to read as much as possible. It's because the to-read piles are huge. It's because there is so much good stuff TO read. It's because there's a drive and pressure for content, for knowledge, for being ahead of the curve. Reading 250 or 300 books a year certainly does that.
But I found it was unsatisfying personally.
Last year and the year before, I signed up and participated in the Debut Author Challenge. I made it a goal to read 32 debut novels this year, and I achieved that, plus some. I'm not going to sign up for it this year, though, because I don't want to pressure myself to meet a certain quantity of books that fulfill a specific criteria. I still plan on reading and blogging the heck out of debut novels because I think it's important, but I don't want to force myself to pick up titles that I'm not interested in simply because it's a debut. I think reading challenges are GREAT things, and I believe they really do motivate people to push outside their preferred reading (and it's helpful for reader's advisory, for becoming a more critical reader, among a host of other things).
But they just don't work for me.
I'm not signing up for any challenges in 2013, and I'm not going to set a goal number of books I want to read. Instead, I'm going to spend 2013 reading with intention. That intention is to enjoy reading for reading's sake. I'm going to read widely, both books inside and outside my comfort zone (using Angela's reader's advisory challenge as a guide to doing that part). I want to remember the joy of spontaneous discovery through browsing and, since I'm lucky, surprise review books that come to the house. I want to read fiction and non-fiction, YA and adult titles. I want to sink into a thick read as much as I want to sink into a tiny book and tease out all of the layers packed within it. I want to reread favorite books, and I want to try reliving some of them in alternative formats where possible.
What I've come to learn about myself as a reader and as a blogger is that the goal setting pressure isn't motivating for me. It's not the kind of stress which encourages me. Instead, it frustrates me. In taking a step back and reassessing my reading earlier this fall, I learned what works best for me and what makes me happiest is being intentional and pursing something because I want to. Not because I feel like I need to for myself nor anyone else. This is the same philosophy I plan on taking through the new year more broadly, too. I'm not setting any resolutions. I want the pressure to be minimal where I can make it so.
My only goal for 2013 is to live in it -- and blog through it -- for me.

Reading Resolutions & Goal Setting
I've been doing a lot of thinking about resolutions with the new year creeping up on us, and more specifically, I've been thinking about how setting resolutions for accomplishing something in a time frame of one year is both a good thing and a bad thing.

I'm not joining any reading challenges this year either. I still will set an annual reading goal but will do what I did this year and start low. I think I increased this year's goal three times as I achieved each previous goal. I don't need more stress in my life at this time. I want make reading more fun and less work. Happy New Year!ReplyDeleteReplies
A lot of people do that, and if it works, that's good! I still think even a low goal and adjusting it would stress me out in a not-positive kind of way.Delete
But I'm with you -- reading is about the fun, not about the work. Even if it's your life's work.
I do love challenges and I'm joining a few this year, since they motivate me to read outside my comfort zone a little bit. But I've long since given up on trying to read xxx number of books like you. I tended to blow through the books I did read, and within a few hours - I couldn't remember anything from a book, and I also hesitated when picking up bigger books.ReplyDeleteReplies
I always thought that of challenges for me, but I figured out that doesn't work. It does for a lot of people, but it has the same effect upon me that the reaching a certain number of books read does.Delete
I feel exactly the same way. I'm stressed out because I didn't read as many books as last year. And like you wrote, it's pretty silly to stress about that. I read some fantastic books and I wrote some great blog posts. I also spent a lot of time cooking and loving it, discovering yoga, creating some awesome units for the classes I teach, etc. I did sign up for a couple challenges, but I think I'll follow your lead. I like the idea of reading with intention :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Exactly this. Despite not hitting the numbers I wanted to in terms of reading, I did do a lot of other things that thrilled me -- and took away from achieving that numeric reading goal.Delete
I love the idea behind so many of the challenges out there. I just can't set a number and feel pressured to meet it personally. I want to read with intention, and that intention is my own personal satisfaction.
I didn't make a reading goal this year and even though I read a few less books, I feel like I read a lot more things I enjoyed and didn't feel guilty about.ReplyDelete
I also gave up on way more books.Replies
I gave up on quite a few this year, too, and I have no regrets about it.Delete

Motivational Speaker Comes To Presque Isle To Empower An Audience
Challenges come in many ways. But challenging yourself and feeling empowered will be the topic of discussion tonight in the star city. A man with no legs, who's climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, travels the world to speak at events, and volunteers his time to help others…. spoke at the University of Maine at Presque Isle.
He doesn't take no for an answer. One man has taken his life to new heights despite missing legs. His story has captivated the world and he's come to Presque Isle to share what his life can teach others…. "social responsibility and sort of looking at challenges differently, and how we can all sort of make a difference regardless how old we are how young we are, and that it starts right here in our own community," Spencer West says.
He does more than what doctors told him he would never be able to do. West says, "I was born with legs, but I was born with a genetic disease that caused the muscles in my legs not to work, so as a kid they removed just below my pelvis so I can get around better. And after my surgery my family and I were told by the doctors that I would potentially never sit up by myself never walk by myself and that I probably wouldn't be a functioning member of society."
They were wrong, West has gone above and beyond what anyone ever imagined. He works for an organization called ME TO WE based out of canada which is a social enterprise company basically designed to help people.
West, "my buddies and I came up with this idea to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and to raise money for clean water at the time East Africa was facing one of the largest droughts they'd seen in over 60 year…that's where I had found my passion and discovered I can use my story to inspire other people…"
From there West has gone on to share his life story and give motivational speeches around the world. His most recent stop, is right here in Presque Isle at UMPI….where West says the most important thing those who attend should come away with, is the sense of empowerment to get out and do something in their community.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) A West Texas man has been sentenced to life in prison for a 2012 double slaying in Lubbock involving two people he knew.
Prosecutors say Joshua Paul Bulls of Lubbock pleaded guilty Wednesday to two counts of murder in a plea agreement.
Investigators used DNA evidence to link Bulls to the deaths of Jodi Shannon Winn and David Vincent Martinez in separate November 2012 attacks during arguments.
Police say Bulls, who was sentenced to two concurrent life prison terms, was friends with the two victims.

Before buying these, I heard both praise and complaints about the C3's. I have nothing but praise for the C3's. In my opinion the trigger is not too hard to pull and I don't feel the plastic sheath gets in the way of placing the cam. I have not taken a fall on them yet, but I have all the faith that they will hold if placed correctly.

Duplicate business name
by born2fly, Window Shopper
- Created: June 2, 2010, 7:40 am
Can differently owned businesses use the same name?
I am looking to incorpoate (NY) under a name that is currently available, however I know there is atleast one other local business that uses the same name that I want to use. That business is not a corp.
If it ends up that that individual is not registered, can I request they stop using the name if I incorporate under that name? Or can they still be a DBA under that name?
Thank you,
sell-timeshare | Window Shopper | 6/9/2010 - 8:06 am
See an attorney. Since you probably want to talk to an attorney about the correct business entities and other start-up matters, you may also ask your attorney about checking on business names. Generally you want to do your own check first to catch any obvious conflicts. You really protect your business name only by using it. Corporations are registered by states, and factitious business names are registered in countries. Registering a name doesn't really protect it though, because the same name could legally exist in many other states, many other counties. You could be Acme Corporation in Illinois and legally own that corporation in that state, but there could be another Acme Corporation in every other state, and every one of them is legal until you win a lawsuit proving that they are trading on the commercial interests you own. When you really get protection is when you use that name, and therefore when you find somebody else using it you can prove that you had it first, so they are trading on your name. There are lots of McDonald's restaurants around, and McDonald's can't stop them from using that name if they had it early enough, and especially if they aren't pretending to be a fast food hamburger joint. The attempt to confuse is very important. Read more: articles.bplans.com/starting-a-business/choosing-your-business-name/57#ixzz0qLo7iPGH ---This post was edited to remove a commercial link.

Hi born2fly, You can check if your business name is already filed with New York State by searching the Corporation & Business Entity Database. http://www.dos.state.ny.us/corps/bus_entity_search.html If the name is not registered, then you can also register your business name as a trademark with your state and/or the federal government to protect it. Learn more about steps to take to protect your business name here.
krummelhart | Creator | 6/4/2010 - 7:21 am
Yes contact the NY Secretary of State - But is the other company a direct competitor or in a business that would be of issue to your name?...
BizResearcher | Window Shopper | 6/2/2010 - 7:48 am
A quick call to your state or county office that registers business names should provide an answer to your question. In my state, corporations and LLCs must have unique names but sole proprietorships can have names similar to other businesses. If the person has not registered the name and you register it, then if they attempt to register it at a later date, they may not be able to. I am not sure if you can request that they must stop using the name, though you could try, particularly since they haven't registered the name. If the other business has been around for a number of years your business could be confused with theirs. That may not be in your best interests if they have financial issues, provide poor customer service or in some other way could compromise the integrity of your business. Is there perhaps a similar, but slightly different, name you can register?
shimul | Contributor | 6/14/2010 - 9:42 am
I fear that you will not be able to use a business name that has already been registered by another company. Before finalizing your company name, you need to make sure that it has not been registered by going through registers business names of your state or county office.

The Rhetoric of MySpace vs. Facebook
From Eszter Hargittai's scholarship to more recent work by marketing analytics firms, we know that race and socio-economic status shape MySpace and Facebook usage. Yet, it is the rhetoric used by participants that highlights how these distinctions play out.
Field Building and Scholarly Publication
As a new media researcher, I've struggled to find appropriate venues for publishing and disseminating my work. In the late nineties, when studies of online communities, cyberculture, and electronic gaming were still in their infancy, and when I was launching my scholarly career, my work was never accepted into the journals of my discipline of anthropology. Educational journals didn't recognize my work on new media and play as part of their charter. This reflected my personal failures in translating my research topics into the established idioms of my discipline and field, but I expect my experience is not unique for those who work in new and emerging areas of inquiry.
Welcome to the University of California's New Digital Media and Learning Research Hub and Website
Today, at the forum on Breakthrough Learning in a Digital Age, being hosted by the Sesame Workshop at Google headquarters, we are announcing the launch of a major new research initiative in digital media and learning (DML) and its associated website. Based at the University of California Humanities Research Institute in Irvine, California, the Digital Media and Learning Research Hub is generously supported by the MacArthur Foundation's Digital Media and Learning Initiative. The Research Hub, for which I serve as Executive Director and Mimi Ito the Research Director, intersects work promoting and networking collaborative efforts to understand and assess the participatory ways in which digital media are transforming youth learning practices and lifelong learning opportunities.

In the summer of 2011, 19 undergraduates at the University of North Carolina signed up for a lecture course called AFAM 280: Blacks in North Carolina. The professor was Julius Nyang'oro, an internationally respected scholar and longtime chairman of the African and Afro-American studies department.
It is doubtful the students learned much about blacks, North Carolina or anything else, though they received grades for papers they supposedly turned in and Mr. Nyang'oro, the instructor, was paid $12,000. University and law-enforcement officials say AFAM 280 never met. One of dozens of courses in the department that officials say were taught incompletely or not at all, AFAM 280 is the focus of a criminal indictment against Mr. Nyang'oro that was issued last month.
Eighteen of the 19 students enrolled in the class were members of the North Carolina football team (the other was a former member), reportedly steered there by academic advisers who saw their roles as helping athletes maintain high enough grades to remain eligible to play.

Schilling Park was formally named in 2010 in honor of the Schilling family who had contributed to the village over decades. Phyllis Schilling had championed plantings around the Village as well as numerous other civic adventures. Her son Carl donated his labor for the construction of a shelter modeled after the train station in the village that occupies the middle area of the park. Carl crafted benches for seating in case of a sudden shower. Fundraising efforts supported the construction of the children's butterfly garden and tot-lot play area for pre-school age tykes.
Recycled bluestone sidewalks lead visitors into the park and past glorious perennial beds adorned with unusual trees such as Pagoda Dogwood, Paperbark Maple, Burr Oak and Sweet Gum. The back area is a large open space suitable for running with wild abandon or just meandering slowly past the many perennial beds and naturalized areas. It is simply wonderful!
On a recent visit to the park I was delighted to find a new addition just to the left of the main path: a labyrinth. Common to gardens and public parks around the world, the labyrinth has its roots in Greek mythology but can also be found replicated in floor tiles of cathedrals.
Often confused with the maze, a labyrinth differs in that it has one path to the center and back, and it is not meant to confuse or trap but rather to offer a quiet journey of reflection. The scale is ample for walking the path that winds inward and outward to the center with stones from the nearby Bozenkill Creek lining the pathway incorporating native materials into the circular and spiral designs.
On this day there were several children in the park helping their parents with mulching the large beds as part of the village-wide volunteer clean up day. With the mulch spread, it was time to explore the labyrinth and as I took pictures, I heard one of the kids say, "this is so cool!"
Schilling Park is a hidden jewel, a local destination to view great gardens, entertain the small fry or to relax in an outdoor oasis of quiet inspiration.

As US sanctions were imposed or tightened on two of Syria's biggest businesses on Wednesday, signs pointed to a new level of political pressure on the Syrian regime from the Gulf, which could have ramifications for major GCC investments in the country.
The US Treasury toughened its line on Syriatel, the country's biggest mobile operator, and the Commercial Bank of Syria, the country's biggest commercial lender. Americans are now "generally prohibited from engaging in commercial or financial transactions" with either company; Syriatel was named for its connection to top regime business figure Rami Makhlouf, while the Commercial Bank of Syria was targeted for its connection to "proliferators of weapons of mass destruction."
The naming of Syriatel was new, but for the Commercial Bank of Syria, the announcement follows a 2006 Treasury Department ruling (PDF) that isolated the bank for similar concerns.
The new US sanctions added to the growing isolation of the Syrian regime, which is losing friends fast. Most significantly, Gulf countries, led by Saudi Arabia, have begun a vocal campaign against the regime - a move that could spell trouble for major Gulf investment projects in the country.
Since Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah released a statement condemning the violent crackdown on protesters and recalling his ambassador to the country, the heat has intensified. Kuwaitis even took to the streets - reportedly in their thousands - to protest outside the Syrian embassy. Such demonstrations are rare, even in Kuwait where the political discourse is more lively.
And as criticism of the Syrian regime becomes politically acceptable - even encouraged - in the Gulf and its state media, major Gulf investors in the country could come under pressure.
Qatar's investments there already look to be over for the time being as the Qatari government was first to burn its bridges with Syria. But major UAE corporates have yet to blink - Dubai property developer, Emaar, has made no statements regarding its extensive projects in the country, while Majid Al Futtaim, the Dubai-based shopping mall developer, has confirmed it is going ahead with its big retail and residential property development on the outskirts of Damascus. That may all change as the GCC stance solidifies.
"Heightened pressure on the Assad regime from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states will erode Assad's power. By remaining largely silent during Syria's crackdown, GCC governments had until now provided Assad with some measure of diplomatic support," Eurasia Group said in a recent note. "The GCC states' reversal likely precedes a coordinated international upsurge of diplomatic and economic pressure."

Debugging on SharePoint is much the same as debugging any other ASP.Net application…you can use the same techniques. Here are some of my tips for diagnosing & solving your problems…
Debugging starts with your first line of code
As you start writing some code you need to bear in mind that at some point you will need to debug it. This may mean attaching a debugger (easy) or looking at a crash dump (hard). This means debugging should always be at the back of your mind when writing any code…ask yourself "when this is live how am I going to find out what has gone wrong?"
In practice this means making full use of the features of .Net … System.Diagnostics, try…catch, exception logging, etc. One thing in particular to remember is that if you do ever have to look at a crash dump your variable & method names will be in there too. The more descriptive they are the easier it is going to be to analyse the dump. Also bear in mind that the less code in each method the easier it will be to pin-point the location of the error. Les Smith has some good points to make about refactoring…I would add that refactoring making debugging easier!
Use Trace.Write & Debug.Write
This is the first thing I would recommend. Adding these method calls at suitable places in your code can really help to solve problems. Used in conjunction with DebugView these methods can give you great insight to what is happening within your code. Personally I use Trace whenever something unexpected or 'out of the ordinary' occurs, normally exceptions, but it could be anything that may help solve a problem. Calls to the Trace methods remain in release code and so will add an overhead to the code execution. I generally use Debug to enable me to see code execution paths during development and as these do nothing in a release build can be used much more liberally.
Using the Trace statements can really help when you cannot attach a debugger (on a live server) to give you more information of what has gone wrong. If you ensure you use try…catch…finally blocks throughout your code, using Trace to log the exception makes it easy to see where the error has occurred (including the call stack) simply by running DebugView on the server.
Use try…catch…finally
When developing ASP.Net controls and WebParts I like to add try…catch blocks when overriding methods likeOnInit, OnLoad, CreateChildControls and Render. I do this because I don't what the whole page to fail to render simply because one control has a problem…If the search box control throws an exception, why shouldn't the rest of the page display? Therefore my Render method would look like this…
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
// Do something to render the control, which may cause an exception
catch (Exception ex)
// Maybe render an error message
This way if an exception is thrown the page will still render…the user may not get the full functionality of the page, but at least they get something. Essentially wrapping your code in a try…catch block has a negligible hit in terms of performance and so you should look to using them wherever something may throw, even if you just Trace and re-throw the exception. Also you should bear in mind that throwing an exception is a big overhead and should only be used when a real exception has occurred…something you really did not expect and cannot recover from.
Check the SharePoint log files
These will be located in the /12/LOGS folder. The log files contain errors & messages generated by SharePoint. I have to say that generally they don't give you as much information as you would like (sometimes nothing), but occasionally they point you straight to the problem. Either way you should always check them just in case.
You should also know that you can increase or decrease the amount of logging SharePoint does in Central Administration. Here you can change the verbosity of the logging within different parts of the application. Its not the easiest interface to use, but you can increase the number of messages logged…doing this has solved problems for me in the past.
You change the settings under 'Logging and Reporting' in the operations tab…

How do I best care for and maintain my Sunbaby diapers?
How to Prep the diapers before use: When you first receive your Sunbaby diapers you will need to wash them 3 times in very hot water to remove any manufacturing residue and increase the absorbency of the microfiber inserts. Detergent is only needed for the first 2 washes, you do not need to dry the diapers in between washes. Once the 3 washes are complete dry both the inserts and shells in the dryer this one time only. Any subsequent washes diaper shells need to be hung to dry as the high heat of the dryer will breakdown the waterproof lining and elastic in the diaper overtime.
Prepping Bamboo Inserts: If you have purchased bamboo inserts please boil for 30 minutes on your stove in a big pot of water. After boiling toss in the wash and prep as per the above instructions. Bamboo contains a lot of natural oils that must be washed from the fabric for maximum absorbancy to be reached.
Important: Do not use zinc or petroleum based diaper creams with cloth diapers
Storage of dirty diapers: We recommend the dry pail method. Simply put used diapers in the diaper pail of your choice until you are ready to wash them. Sprinkle baking soda in pail as needed to control odours. You may knock solids into the toilet or swish a soiled diaper around in the toilet bowl before putting in the pail if you wish.
Washing: There is no need to separate the inserts from the diaper shells, simply dump all diapers into the washer and the agitation will work the inserts out of the pockets.
- Cold Wash. Place all your soiled cloth diapers in the machine for a cold water wash.
- Hot Wash. Wash in hot water with cloth diaper safe detergent.
- Rinse. Rinse cloth diapers with cold water.
- 2nd Rinse. Rinse cloth diapers with cold water.
- Dry. Hang diaper shells to dry and dry inserts in the dryer.
Detergent to use: The best detergent to use does not contain enzymes, brighteners, fragrance, dyes, softeners or bleach. For a list of recommended detergent to use with cloth diapers please visit http://www.diaperjungle.com/detergent-chart.html

Phaseone and Parisian, Old Lights and Demon Lover Make Like Bananas
Kit Hamon's prominence on the Old Lights song marks a continued shift for the band, which was once the sole provenance of leader David Beeman. The past few transmissions from the group find Hamon stepping up front and lending a sure-footed pop bounce; "Blocking out the Sun" is no different, full of pep and harmony and a sense of creeping self-doubt. With that combination, it fits right in alongside Beeman's collection of sweet-sounding symphonies to human frailty. Demon Lover's side is all id, ego and superego mashed into three minutes. What begins as a snot-punk riff literally slows down to a crawl, with stretched-out vocals moaning alongside electric harpsichord etudes and lugubrious trombone lines. Andy Lashier is proving himself to be the most fearless vocalist in town, and moving from the Dead Milkmen to the Mills Brothers, as he does here, is only minor proof of that. This split single is the inaugural release of the Tower Groove Records single club, and future splits have their work cut out for them.

bananas, sliced

1/2 cup
fresh peaches, pitted and chopped
1 3/4 cups
strawberry sorbet
1/3 cup
orange juice
Wow!!! That is all I can say! WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! This is soooo awesome!! I didn't have the sherbert but it is still awesome!!
This "smoothie" was great! I did not have any strawberry sorbet so I used about 1/2 cup of plain yogurt and about 1/2 cups of peach juice since that is what I had on hand. I transfomed this smoothie into frozen treats by pourring the mix into popsicle molds. The kids LOVED THEM!
15 Ratings
It's really good. I added a little ice though to make it colder.
I cheated a little since I didn't have the sorbet, but this smoothie still came out pretty good. The strawberry sorbet would have definitely improved this drink, but it can still stand ok on its own.
i used yogurt instead of sorbet.
and 4 ice cubes for 2 people sooyeah
This was a wonderful recipe. Hubby and I both loved it. I've never made it with the sorbet, as that's not a common ingredient for me. I've replaced the sorbet with ice cream once and with 1/2 C yogurt and 1 C ice the second time. Both were very good.
Yummy! I made it three times. Feel free to tweak it a bit to your tastes.
Mmmmmm..... i didn't have sorbet but it was spectacular anyways. Want my mom to try this so I'm making more tonight. I just used 7 strawberries, 1/2 peach, 1/2 banana (i have a sweet-toothed pet rabbit who enjoyed the other half :) and three oranges (juiced). Delicious and healthy treat, love it!

Bill Greisling waited three years for someone to help him breathe.
Finally, this past May, hospital workers called the 62-year-old father of six and grandfather of 15, to let him know that help had arrived. A high school student had died in a car crash on his 16th birthday and Greisling would receive his left lung.
"I can't tell you how grateful I am," said Greisling, who, before the surgery couldn't even walk to his mailbox without running out of breath due to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive disease of the lung. "You start looking at life very differently — all you want to do is help others."
According to a Gallup poll, 83 percent of Americans understand the benefits of organ donation and approve of the practice but only 28 percent have granted written consent to release their organs if they die. Since 1995, more than 45,000 people have died waiting for an organ donor.
Some say the problem lies in a reluctance to make what can be a very uncomfortable decision. They say a new opt-out system, which would assume people are donors unless they specify otherwise, could dramatically increase the number of donors and save lives. A similar example lies in the do-not-call telemarketing system, where it is assumed telemarketers may call people at home unless they add their names to a do-not-call list.
But because releasing your organs to medicine after death can be such a profound decision, critics say adopting a similar opt-out system for organ donation would also introduce all kinds of ethical land mines.
"It's a really emotionally hard decision to make — you have to think about your own demise," said Eric Johnson, a social scientist at Columbia University. "It's easier to not think about it at all."
Numbers from some European countries show that forcing people to confront the decision can make a big difference.
In several countries, including Austria, Belgium, France, Hungary, Poland, Portugal and Sweden, authorities assume everyone is willing to be a donor — with the approval of family after death — unless they say otherwise in written form. In those countries, 85 percent to 99 percent of people are on paper as willing donors and actual donations are higher by about 56 percent.
In Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, where it is assumed people are not willing donors unless they sign up to be, the consent rates range from just over 4 percent in Denmark to 27 percent in the Netherlands.
Surveys by Johnson and his colleague Daniel Goldstein suggest a change in how people sign up could make a difference in this country as well.
The pair interviewed three groups of people. Members of the first group were told they had just moved to a new state where it was assumed they would be an organ donor. They were given the choice to confirm or change that status. Another group was told the same except it was assumed they were not donors unless they specified they wanted to be. The third group was told to simply choose whether or not to become organ donors — with no prior default.
Among those who had to opt out from being a donor, 82 percent volunteered to be donors. For those who had to change their default to opt in and become a donor, only 42 percent signed up. And 79 percent of those who made the choice without any prior default said they would be donors.

Bethlehem, Pa., September 24, 2008— Moravian College will hold an interdisciplinary lecture series this fall to get people thinking more deeply about a variety of environmental issues. The series will illustrate how science, literature, and art are interconnected.
Over the last two years, faculty in the Department of Biological Sciences have been pondering ways to make science more approachable and engaging to students—while dispelling misconceptions about science and technology which are often formed by the media and misunderstood by the public. Concurrent with these conversations has been dialogue on how science fits into the liberal arts. An outgrowth of this thinking has led Professors Diane Husic, (Biology Dept.) and Joyce Hinnefeld, (English Dept.) to develop an interdisciplinary lecture series for fall 2008 that will include 4 speakers who exemplify the connections between the "Two Cultures," the arts and the sciences (as coined by C.P. Snow).
The series begins when Colette Palamar, director of Environmental Studies and of the Herndon Gallery at Antioch College, presents "Art as Activism: Education without Confrontation," on Thursday, September 25, 7:00 p.m. in the UBC Room, Haupert Union Building. Palamar will discuss themes related to environment, dwelling, and the human impact on nature that are prevalent in her art work for which she uses a variety of mediums including painting, ceramics, and photography. Palamar's exhibit "ecologies: a retrospective of works by colette palamar 1996-2008" will be on display from September 22 through October 13 in the HUB and in the lobby of Collier Hall of Science.
Naturalist Scott Weidensaul, author of more than two dozen books on natural history, will present a public lecture on Thursday, October 23 at 7:00 p.m., in Prosser Auditorium, Haupert Union Building. Most notably, he has penned Living on the Wind: Across the Hemisphere with Migratory Birds, a Pulitzer Prize finalist; The Ghost with Trembling Wings, about the search for species that may or may not be extinct; Return to Wild America: A Yearlong Search for the Continent's Natural Soul, an ambitious journey to take the pulse of America's wildlife and wildlands, retracing the steps of Roger Tory Peterson who had completed the same journey 50 years previously, and his most recent book, Of a Feather: A Brief History of American Birding, which traces 400 years of ornithological history. His talk will include a wide-ranging exploration of the ways science and creativity intersect, and how both realms must speak more clearly to one another as we search for ways to preserve the planet.
Author Akiko Busch will conduct "A reading from Nine Ways to Cross a River" on Wednesday, November 12, at 4 p.m. in the UBC Room, Haupert Union Building . Busch writes about design and culture. She is the author of Geography of Home: Writings on Where We Live and The Uncommon Life of Common Objects: Essays on Design and the Everyday. Her most recent book of essays, Nine Ways to Cross a River, is a collection of essays about swimming across American Rivers. A contributing editor at Metropolis magazine for 20 years, she has taught at the Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford and Bennington College. Currently, she is a regular contributor to the New York Times Sunday regional section.
The last in the series will feature Joyce Hinnefeld, associate professor of English at Moravian College, who will read from her novel, In Hovering Flight— just published by Unbridled Books. The reading will be held on Monday, December 1, at 7 p.m. in Arena Theater, Haupert Union Building (HUB). In Hovering Flight is about mothers, daughters and art; about illness, death and burial; about fragile ecosystems and tenacious human relationships—all explored through characters inspired by the lives, and particularly the songs, of birds.
The lecture series is supported by the Zinzendorf Society, Department of Biological Sciences, Moravian College Arts and Lectures Committee, the Learning in Common Committee, and the Dean's Office. For more information, call 610-861-1491 or visit http://www.moravian.edu/events/tempemail/environmentallectures.htm.

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - Minnesota's Cole DeVries came out after three hitless innings due to a sore right forearm as the Twins beat the Boston Red Sox 8-3 Friday.
DeVries, scheduled to make his first start of the season on April 6 at Baltimore, allowed one earned run during 17 innings in spring training and held batters to a .071 average.
Pitching coach Rick Anderson said it appeared the soreness was a muscle issue.
Red Sox starter Ryan Dempster gave up three hits and four walks in four innings with four strikeouts.

What you'll experience
From 1860-1865 the United States of America was locked in a bloody conflict between northern and southern states that would determine the future of the Union. Join UW-Madison for an extraordinary educational journey through this part of our nation's history. You will be joined by expert guides and historians who will bring these events to life as you walk the grounds and experience firsthand the ebb and flow of the brutal battles that were waged between the Union and the Confederacy.
Your tour will begin in Harper's Ferry, WV, where John Brown failed to incite a slave uprising but succeeded in shocking the south into the formation of the many local militias that would ultimately become the core of the Confederate Army. From there you will visit Antietam, the bloodiest 1-day battle in American history, which ended Robert E. Lee's first invasion of the north and enabled President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
The next day will find you on the fields of Gettysburg. One of the more poignant sites in America, the battle between the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac that occurred here effectively ended any Confederate hopes of independence, at an unimaginable cost to both sides.
You then visit Manassas National Battlefield Park, site of 2 Civil War battles in 1861 and 1862, and Fredericksburg, where the Union army was badly bloodied in 1861. From there you carry on to Spotsylvania Battlefield, site of some of the Civil War's most ferocious fighting, before touring the historical sites of Richmond: Hollywood Cemetery, Monument Avenue, St Paul's Church, Chimborazo Hospital, and the White House of the Confederacy.
Rounding out your educational experience is a tour of the Siege of Petersburg Battlefield; a visit to Appomattox Court House where Lee surrendered on April 9, 1865; and an evening at the outstanding Pamplin Historical Park and National Museum of the Civil War Soldier.
This is going to be a fascinating learning experience on some of the most hallowed ground in America in what is the final year of the 150th-year observance of the Civil War. Expert guides, great museums, historical re-enactors, and friendly companionship—this is American history at its finest and most engaging.

Source Code for Sandbox 2.1

Hi all,
I want to modify hadoop-mapreduce-client-app.jar in my Hortonworks sandbox 2.1. I downloaded the source code for hadoop 2.4.0, built the necessary class files and updated all the necessary jars in my sandbox. I restart my sandbox, try to run run one of the sample mapreduce jobs and the job fails because it cannot launch the ApplicationMaster (I'm trying to change MRAppMaster.java, so this makes some sense). I have been able to successfully modify other jars following the procedure described above.I suspect there is a compatibility issue between the source of hadoop 2.4.0 and the source of Sandbox 2.1 because when I run "hadoop version," the output is "188.8.131.52.1.1.0-237." Is there any way I can get the source code used to build Sandbox 2.1? Thank you in advance for your time!

State of the Left: Pakistan edition
Welcome to State of the Left, a regular, carefully curated collection of reading recommendations in search of the big picture for tired and hungry progressives.
Today, a special edition of State of the Left. Pakistan is often understood by outsiders as a nasty problem that needs to be dealt with. But when you're looking through the crosshairs of a drone, the concept of "problem" is rather limited, and "solution" even more so. Ghazal Farrukhi walks us through the political prospects of a country on the brink, surveying reasons for hope and pessimism as Pakistan takes unprecedented steps in committing to the democratic process.
Election fever is in the air in Pakistan. In February 2013, the democratically elected members of the country's National and Provincial Assemblies will step down after five years, in preparation for general elections 60 days later under the aegis of a caretaker government. Many governments have come into power in Pakistan since 1947, several of them elected. Yet in 65 years of independence, this will be the first time that a democratically elected government is able to complete its tenure in power. What, if anything, does this mean for Pakistan, and its current trajectory?
Liberal Democracy, and Its Alternatives?
The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) came into power in 2008 after a sustained mass movement, known as the Lawyer's Movement, to unseat military dictator Pervez Musharraf. In the years since, the civil-military balance has remained tense. It remains difficult to know who really controls certain areas of government such as foreign policy and counter-terrorism strategies. How much real power the government has in either case is debatable. Although the elections mean that progress has been made, a major battle for the next government will continue to be simply remaining in power against the possibility of another military coup.
The final piece in post-Musharraf Pakistan has been the almost unprecedented wave of judicial activism by the Pakistan Supreme Court, in particular the Chief Justice, Iftikhar Chaudhry. The Lawyer's Movement of 2007 was in part led by a popular movement to restore the Chief Justice after he was removed by Musharraf. Since his restoration to the post of Chief Justice in 2008, Pakistani courts have witnessed an upsurge in the suo moto cases picked up by the Supreme Court—issues of law that the Court notices on its own rather than responding to a petition filed in court. The Supreme Court has gone from strength to strength, with many in the country cheering the Chief Justice on as he tackles issues as varied as the price of fuel to the 'corruption case' against the president. The latter in particular even led to the dismissal of Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gillani in early 2012 for contempt of court.
Earlier, the judges were criticized by some commentators for appearing to target the sitting government and ignoring any issues or breaches of the law by the army. Recently, however, this assumption too was challenged as the Asghar Khan Case was heard in court. In an unprecedented step, the verdict openly accused former heads of the national security agency, the ISI, of rigging elections in the 1990s by buying off politicians. The Supreme Court has now challenged both other key players in Pakistan's power set-up, the military and the parliament. While the Chief Justice certainly took on many issues with populist overtones, how much of a real, tangible solution can self-selecting judicial activism be? The implications of the Supreme Court's deployment of its power can only become clearer in the future. What is already apparent, however, is that far from being an aloof and apolitical branch of state, the Pakistani judiciary is as much a political player in the country as the elected legislators and the Army.
The current unpopularity of the PPP and its coalition partners among large portions of the population—in particular the urban middle classes—appears to be matched only by despair at the alternatives on offer. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) currently sits as the largest party in Opposition, and also rules the largest of Pakistan's four provinces. The party that wins Punjab wins Pakistan, they say, and the PML-N ought to be confident here. Yet alternatives are, very slowly, creeping up. The first of these is the much-vaunted 'tsunami' of change led by Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Imran Khan, a former cricket superstar who has won many over with conspicuous philanthropy projects, demonstrated his arrival as a serious contender last October with major rallies in Lahore, Karachi and other urban centres. His campaign platform is a mixture of fierce and principled opposition to the 'war on terror' and drone attacks in the northwest, and a promise to root out entrenched elites, corruption and 'inefficiency' to solve Pakistan's various internal ailments. He cemented this stance with a well-publicized 'march to Waziristan' to protest against the drone attacks, claiming to be the first national-level politician who has gone to FATA. Yet as the elections draw closer and the PTI's rather populist rhetoric comes under closer examination, Imran Khan's tsunami appears to be ebbing. There are concerns that Khan's comfort with the Pakistani Taliban goes beyond advocating for an end to the war, while others worry that he is far too close to the Army. It remains to be seen not only how much of a real alternative he can offer to the mainstream political parties, but also whether he will be in a position to provide that alternative at all.
Other voices, too, have now dusted off their claims to the revolution Imran promises. Various factions of Pakistan's dormant Left have very recently reunited, with the intention of harnessing the desire for real change much of the country still asks for five years after overthrowing dictatorship. Once a vibrant political force, socialist and Communist parties were repressed by the state during the late 1970s and 1980s, and consigned to the sidelines of Pakistan's politics. As the Awami Worker's Party attempts to consolidate itself over time as a party with mass appeal and political clout, it will position itself as a third alternative between "an anemic democratic camp" and anti-democratic forces. While the party's focus perhaps ought to lie in the post-elections period considering the recentness of the merger, the re-awakening of the Pakistani Left's ambitions can only be a welcome addition, both as a voice to the working classes neglected by the country's feudal and neo-liberal elite, and also as a fresh entrant to the rather tired political discourse currently on offer.

New governments, old problems
Achieving liberal democracy has been a hard-fought battle in Pakistan, and as suggested, there is still a long way to go. Yet even modern liberal democracy has its limitations, it appears. Several challenges will remain for the next government. Whether they are on the election agenda or not, it remains to be seen whether real, radical change can be effected for these pressing issues.
Balochistan's many grievances been so badly mishandled by the establishment since the present uprising started in the early 2000s that full-fledged separatist sentiment is now almost everywhere in the province. Bodies continue to pile up in Pakistan's largest, least populated and historically neglected province, and activists and political workers continue to 'go missing'. The leaders of the movement are slowly disengaging themselves from the various processes of the Pakistani state. When Akhtar Mengal, a former Chief Minister and head of the Balochistan National Party, presented a six-point manifesto to the Supreme Court a few months ago, what was seen as a wakeup call for Islamabad, was in fact criticized in Balochistan itself in many circles for even suggesting that the federation could be preserved in any circumstance. While almost all mainstream political parties pledge 'brotherhood' for the Baloch, there appears to be an almost total lack of trust and perhaps even willingness on the part of the establishment to resolve the situation. The whispers of 1971 are only getting louder.

Bombs go off in Pakistan with a pattern. Eid, Moharram, other occasions of 'heightened sensitivity'. With security a real and growing concern, the government has given itself the power to issue fiats suspending cell phone services temporarily in major urban centres, like Karachi, and Quetta, and also attempted to ban motorbikes, which are ubiquitous on roads as the vehicle of the Pakistani working and middle classes, when a greater-than-usual risk of terrorist attacks is felt. The government argues that terrorists use cell phones to detonate bombs, and motorbikes are often also used in such attacks. Both claims have been met with widespread public derision, and yet the sporadic bans continue by executive fiat in the name of 'security'. While these crude attempts at a legitimate counter-terrorism policy on the part of the government are clumsy to say the least, they point to the worrying rise of the Pakistani security state, with state control over essential elements of daily life. Further, as the state gives itself these powers in the name of security against terrorists, what is truly worrying is the other purposes it has already begun to put these powers to. The anti-terror laws that were put in place during Musharraf's time, meanwhile, do not look like they are going anywhere. It is unfortunately unlikely that any new government will give back these powers in the name of 'national security'.
Malala Yusufzai, a 15-year-old girl who narrowly survived being shot in the head by the Taliban in October for her work as a grassroots activist, has since garnered enormous global attention. It seems as if Malala has been appropriated by now for almost every possible agenda relating to Pakistan out there, whether she agrees or not. What is most worrying is the use of her name to further the pro-war agenda in the northwest, by both American and Pakistani armies—an agenda Malala herself has stated she opposes. How should true progressives think through her shooting?

Change is afoot all over Pakistan in a thousand different ways. The State of Pakistan's Left is intertwined with the state of our democratic project. What remains to be seen is how the two continue together past February 2013.

Release: 07/22/2014
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Head coach Craig Neal and the University of New Mexico men's basketball program have announced the hiring of Jeremy Anderson as the team's strength and conditioning coach. Anderson joins the Lobos after spending the previous three seasons with the strength and conditioning department at the University of Virginia.
"We are really looking forward to having Jeremy join our program," said head coach Craig Neal. "He comes to us after spending three years at Virginia under Mike Curtis who spent six years as the strength and conditioning coach with the Memphis Grizzles and has a great reputation in the NBA and college basketball. Tony Bennett, who is a coach I really respect, gave him a great recommendation, and he said a big part of Virginia's success this past season was due to the work of their strength and conditioning staff."
In addition to his assisting with the 30-win men's basketball program, Anderson was also the strength and conditioning coach for UVA's women's basketball program. He joined the Cavaliers for the 2011-12 season as a graduate assistant before being promoted to assistant strength and conditioning coach two seasons ago. He moved to Charlottesville after a three-month stint as a strength and conditioning intern at his alma mater, Liberty University.
"I am really excited about the opportunity to come to New Mexico and a top 25 program," said Anderson. "I can't wait to start helping these student-athletes and this program achieve its goals of winning championships. I have so much appreciation for my experience at Virginia, under Mike Curtis, who is a well-known strength coach. Working with him and his NBA experience was huge for my growth as a coach, and I'm looking forward to continuing my career under Coach Neal and his staff."
Anderson played guard for the Liberty Flames from 2008 to 2010. Team captain his last two seasons at Liberty, he graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0 cumulative grade point average. He was also a member of the 2008-09 Big South Conference All-Freshmen Team.
A native of Bowling Green, Kentucky, Anderson earned his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Exercise Science from Liberty University in 2011. He graduated from Virginia with a Master's degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology in 2013.

Regarding Gaians vs Transhumans, there is really is no conflict and I consider myself to be both. I see no reason why we as children of Gaia shouldn't be able to survive, prosper and grow, while harmoniously restoring the biosphere to a pre-human paradise. If done right, nanotechnologies are the most environmentally friendly technology that could possibly exist. It is the perfect emulation of life in everyway, while also possessing an evolutionary unfoldment of ever- increasing intelligence. In no time at all, nanotechnology could reverse every "damaging" thing we've ever done, while simulataneously bootstrapping life and intelligence to the stars, which is by far holistically, cosmically and universally the most sustainable thing life could ever do. Life is about balance, beauty and harmony, but it is also about evolution, growth and awakening. Let a thousand worlds flourish!

We could go even further than pre-human. We could go Proterozoic, give the algae another chance.

The Best St. Louis Metal Shows in March
|Press Photo
Deceased with Animated Dead, Rites of Impiety, Encrypted, and Manifest March 16th at Fubar
7:00 pm / $12
Many fans of old school death metal badly want to see this show and don't even know it. Since forming in Virginia in 1984, Deceased has remained largely overlooked despite constant releases and touring over the years. The very first band to release an album on the now-monstrous Relapse Records (preceding death metal giants Suffocation and Incantation), the band has roots in thrash and speed metal, guttural vocals, artwork and lyrics that focus heavily on horror and the occult, and many other elements commonly found in first wave death metal bands. Deceased has since left Relapse and will be releasing another label debut, this time for the new Hell's Headbangers Records, later this year.
This show will also feature the CD release by Belleville, IL based death metal veterans, Animated Dead. Having released four demos and a live album since starting back in 1991, this appears to be the band's first full length studio album. Yeah, sometimes it takes 22 years to make a debut album, but having seen Animated Dead a number of times in the past, I can guarantee the album to be no less than br00tal as fvck.

"Over the years I've worked with countless women who have inspired me with their stories. Beyond makeup, we've talked about life-altering events. Everything from the joy of being a new mom to dealing with homelessness and divorce. With each conversation, these women have shown that when you have the will and the heart, almost anything is possible—and that's what Pretty Powerful is all about." – Bobbi Brown
Bobbi Brown cosmetics has always been the go-to brand that I turn to when I want to find makeup that will help me and my clients create a beautiful, classic look. Her makeup, and her whole approach to enhancing women's natural beauty instead of camouflaging it is something that I embrace and encourage wholeheartedly.
Her newest book Pretty Powerful is amazing. I couldn't recommend it more, because I found myself inspired and passionate about all the women in the book, and the principles behind Bobbi Browns message. AND, she thinks "concealer is the secret to the universe" and I do too. Not only that, but her correct and conceal palette is one of the best.

Temperature and magnetic field dependent terahertz spectroscopies have proven useful in elucidating the interplay between structure charge, and magnetism in complex oxide systems. To this end, we are developing a turn-key, continuous-wave (CW) terahertz transmission spectrometer operating from 6 K to 300 K and in fields up to 9 T. Fiber-coupled photoconductive switches operate from 200 GHz to 1.8 THz in the cryogenic and high-field sample environment -- eliminating the need to align a THz beam through multiple cryostat windows. In this work we compare CW-THz measurements on epitaxial thins films of Sr$_{2}$CrReO$_{6}$, a double-perovskite ferrimagnet, with conventional THz time-domain spectroscopy.
