What do a young Philippine clothing designer, an American social networker, an Indian medic, an Ethiopian health care worker and a Nigerian farmer have in common? They are all winners of the Rolex Young Laureates Awards for Enterprise, 2010 (young.rolexawards.com [2]). Nature Research Center Director Dr. Meg Lowman was selected by Rolex to serve on their international jury, a panel of 10 distinguished global leaders in exploration, environment and humanitarian stewardship. The jury vetted hundreds of applicants from young people aged 19-30 years, from around the world, finally agreeing on 25 finalists of which five were selected as Laureates.
Gathering in Geneva, Switzerland, last month, these global-change leaders along with 25 youth finalist awardees were honored and mentored by Dr. Meg Lowman and her fellow jury members as well as former laureates. In a world of declining resources, it is heartening to appreciate the intellectual capital of the next generation.
Young Ethiopian elementary school teacher Bruktawit Tigabu developed a television show about wellness for children in a country where child mortality is very high and health education is not easily available. First working from home with sock puppets and computer graphics, she created a lovable character, Tschai the giraffe, to deliver the messages about preventive medicine. To date, her 26 episodes of "Tschai Loves Learning" have reached 2.6 million African children. Her Rolex award will enable her to take her show "on the road" to remote villages, and to create a radio version accessible to 40 million listeners.
Jacob Colker is using mobile phones to harness "micro-volunteerism." Busy Americans can log on to his website, where hundreds of nonprofits have listed small tasks, ranging from Spanish translations to cataloging artifacts for museums, to designing water wells for rural villages. To date, micro-volunteers have tackled more than 300,000 tasks; and Jacob hopes this new approach to volunteerism will allow many young people to apply their skills to aid nonprofits in a virtual fashion, better suited to their busy work schedules.
Growing up in rural Nigeria, Nnaemeka Ikegwuonu realized that farmers had no access to education about water conservation and sustainable farming. Because most families rely on radio as their only means of communication, Nnaemeka started a radio program about farming practices and environmental issues. With his Rolex award, he hopes to expand his current audience to reach more than 3.5 million farmers, and eventually throughout southern Africa. Nnaemeka says, "My dream is to fight poverty with information."
Piyush Tewari lives in New Delhi, India, a country with the world's highest annual road accident fatalities. Most deaths occur because ambulances or critical care cannot reach the scene of the accident amid urban traffic jams. So Piyush established the SaveLIFE Foundation to train a volunteer first-aid training corps. Through his efforts, rapid response to accidents has already significantly reduced the death rate of traffic accidents in urban India. His Rolex award will enable him to expand his training programs, and save lives.
Reese Fernandez grew up witnessing extraordinary poverty in Manila. As a teenager, she hatched the notion of taking rags and turning them into clothing, both as an environmental recycling action as well as a source of employment for young mothers without income. Her new venture, Rags2Riches, now employs more than 300 young women, empowering them with their own income by creating designer fashions for the Philippines. Her project not only recycles wasted fabric swatches, but it also brings fair wages to hundreds of women who live near Manila's Payatas waste dump.
In addition to the five laureates, Rolex honored all 25 finalists or runners-up with a special mentoring session in Geneva. Music magnate Brian Eno gave the keynote speech at the ceremony in Switzerland, attended by an international roster of distinguished guests, including Lowman and other jury members.

If you notice, all my photos are blurry and indistinct... that's because I am hideous and deformed. I also live in a bell tower.
While I like to think of myself as creative, I'm really more of a synthesist. It's not a bad thing to be, but the grass is always greener, eh? I used to consider one of my greatest failings was my fear and avoidance of conflict; I felt like I would do anything to avoid confrontation. After a few years of bouncing drunken assholes I don't feel that way anymore, but I'm still pretty damn subby at heart.
My favorite song by any random band is probably the poppiest, most overplayed one from the album where they "sold out". I'm so deeply ashamed of this that I tell everyone I meet.
I also retell the same stories over and over again.

LONDON, Sept 27, 2013 (AFP) - Sergey Sirotkin gave Formula One a glimpse of the future on Friday when he drove a Sauber in a demonstration event at Sochi, venue for next year's Winter Olympics and the inaugural Russian Grand Prix.
The 18-year-old Russian, whose arrival in F1 has been surrounded by speculation, is expected to race for Sauber next season, subject to him being
given a racing driver's 'super licence' by the sport's ruling body, the International Motoring Federation (FIA).
"These were my first metres in a Formula One car, which is obviously something very special even though it was only a short part of the Sochi track," said Sirotkin.
"Nevertheless, I was able to gain a first impression and this was awesome. It was fun to drive in front of such a big crowd, particularly because most of them were compatriots. Russia can be proud of this great track."
Sirotkin drove only 700 metres of the Sochi circuit and in doing so he had to miss free practice for his "normal" racing activities in the penultimate round of the Formula Renault championship at Le Castellet, in France.
For him, Sauber and Sochi, however, it was an exercise in gaining public and media attention as Russia, and the nation's sports stars, gather momentum ahead of hosting such major events as the Winter Games, Russian Grand Prix and the World Cup in 2018.
Doubts about Sirotkin's experience and ability, however, continued to swirl with Sauber moving swiftly to reassure critics that he will be fully-prepared for the challenge of racing with the elite next season.
His next scheduled run in an F1 car is due to take place at the end of October as part of a test programme aimed at developing him in readiness for
He is set to complete at least 15 days' driving in an F1 car before the end of the season to ensure he is ready for the start of pre-season testing next
Sauber had hoped to run him in an older car on Friday, but after logistical difficulties decided instead to pitch him into a 2013 machine.
It could be that he also has a chance to test a Ferrari -- one of the teams in F1 with a special relationship with Sauber -- in the next part of his
development programme.

Many more people are going to farmers' markets these days to get fresh fruit and vegetables. It's important, however, for shoppers to wash that raw produce thoroughly before consuming it.
Just because something is organic doesn't mean it is free of contaminants. That's a mistake that sends too many Americans to the emergency room every year. Most of these cases are a result of an E. coli infection.
Health officials say E. coli kills nearly 3,000 Americans each year and lands as many as 128,000 in the hospital.
E. coli is caused by exposure to contaminated water or animal or human waste. Most of the hundreds of types of E. coli are relatively harmless, but a few strains of E. coli are responsible for serious food-borne infections like an outbreak in Oregon last year that was linked to tainted strawberries. That outbreak killed one person and sickened 16 others.
News of such E. coli outbreaks have made some Americans queasy about eating fresh foods that could be contaminated. It shouldn't. Officials say there are steps consumers can take to prevent E. coli. They include cooking ground beef thoroughly and avoiding unpasteurized milk.
Properly cooking meat and washing raw fruit and vegetables are important steps to preventing E. coli. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be washed well, but washing may not remove all contamination. Public service announcements on television, radio and in this newspaper will advise you of the foods to avoid in the event of an outbreak in your area.
Washing hands frequently and cleaning cutting boards and cooking utensils with hot, soapy water also help to reduce the risk of food contamination. It also is important to keep raw meat, poultry and eggs separate from vegetables that could become cross-contaminated.
Taking these precautions, as well as getting to know your local farmers and learning how they grow and handle the food you eat, are important steps to making sure a trip to the farmers' market doesn't result in a visit to the hospital.

Also, you forget the OTHER piece of the equation in SRV's band!! Chris would sound pretty out of place playing much more than he did with Tommy's bass playing. Tommy lay's it down like PAVEMENT and Chris splits the difference between Stevie and Tommy in a manner that's really PERFECT for the band. Any more that that and he'd be playing ALONE and not WITH the band. It's not the same with Mitch Mitchell, there was ROOM in Hendrix's music and Mitch filled it in quite well.
I've had the pleasure of hanging out with Mark too. Great guy and an awesome drummer. He has a lot of knowledge of drums and drummers, and has some great stories. I get a lot of my inspiration from his playing.
I think the thing about Chris Layton (another favorite) is that he makes it look SO easy; all the great ones do. Within blues there are many different styles and Mr. Layton can do them all. Remember, it was Double Trouble that Kenny Wayne Shepherd took with him out on the road for his 10 Days Out project. He knew that whatever style was thrown at them, they could handle it.
I agree with Larry...Chris Layton isn't going to 'wow' you with the crazy four-way coordination stuff, but his playing is a master class in the most important skill...listening. Watch those videos of him, he constantly watching SRV. Great stuff.

Well, it's just amazing to me that there is now a decent bar where we can go for a drink and snack and that is within walking distance of my house in this section of the city I have lived in for over 25 years. This is the Rustik Tavern which opens at 4 pm every day and serves drinks and pizza and a few other things up to 1 pm daily. We went there Saturday evening about 5 pm and hubster ordered a Ying Ling beer and I had my customary vodka martini while sitting at the bar watching Manchester United beat Manchester City on the large HD TV screen hanging over the bar. The smiling waitress also served us a pizza -- I think we got some sort of veggie thing -- that was about 12 inches diameter and enough of a snack for two people. They make the pizzas in a fiery gas oven over on one side of the tavern that you can watch while they cut and chop and bake 'em. While we were there nearly all the tables filled with mostly all the young people who have moved into the neighborhood over the past four to five years. They even bring their kids in with them as one little girl was running up and down between the tables and the row of bar stools. It's a very nice atmosphere and we stayed for a couple of hours and even noshed on some baked potatoes with bacon and cheese bits and a poached pear dessert during our second round of drinkies.Of course, I had to check and see if there was a wheelchair accessible doorway that my son could use when he comes home and wants to go out for a beer or whatever. And yes, they have such a doorway but it's a bit blocked by surplus chairs on the inside. That's a No-No! I got the impression that this bar attracts more singles later in the evening but I'm really not sure about that. It's clear that when the weather gets warmer they will have tables outside and that might be a fun activity too, watching the world go by on Rhode Island avenue in Bloomingdale. I might try the kale salad then, which I'd seen being delivered to another table. Well, we'd prayed for the neighborhood to improve, and now, prayer answered! Thank God!

Comments from parents of children at the aging Homestead-Wakefield Elementary School in Bel Air were once again at the forefront during the final public input session Wednesday on the Harford school system's proposed 2014 budget.
About 50 people attended the third public input session on the new budget hosted by the board of education at school headquarters in Bel Air.
During the public comment period, Mary Harris, the President of Homestead-Wakefield Elementary School's Parent Teacher Association, spoke once again. At the two previous sessions, Harris had called for increased access to computers for the school's students and improvements to stem the worsening condition of the school's physical plant. On Wednesday, Harris chose to thank board of education as well as county officials for listening to her concerns.

BRYAN, Texas -- The Rangers look to continue to show improvement and contend for a playoff spot in 2013.
Eight starters are back on offense and seven return on defense, the ingredients for the Rangers to take a big step forward. Brady Batten has the inside track to take over at quarterback, but whomever takes snaps will have three returning starters blocking for him on the line in Kelvin Taylor, William Hussey, and Peter Ealarms-Koontz. A trio of wide receivers also return, led by Isaiah Johnson who medaled in the 110-meter hurdles at the state meet as a junior.
Defensively, the strength may be on the line. Spencer Choka, back after an outstanding sophomore season, joins Damond Burleson and Auston Ellis to anchor the defensive line. Mark Davenport and Robert Lee come back in the secondary, but holes will have to be filled at linebacker.
The schedule is tough again, but the Rangers do get to play 18-4A favorites Huntsville, Magnolia West, Brenham, and Montgomery at home. If the Rangers can pull off some upsets at home and pick up a few road victories, it could all add up to their first trip to the playoffs in 2013.

An alternative way to change due dates becomes available when viewing the Daily Task List. From here, we can drag and drop tasks to new due dates quite easily.
Of course this only works if the target due date is within a few days and visible on our Calendar. Number three, the double-click. A third way to adjust due dates is to edit the task in its own window. By double-clicking a task, you can modify the due date, along with other notes, and fields and then click Save when you're finished. Unlike appointments, an incomplete task is never forgotten. If a day finishes, its unfinished tasks will just move to the next day.

Quick Game Day Appetizer: Garlic-Knot Monkey Bread
I've got to thank Kenji for this idea. He suggested a garlic-knot monkey bread as a Home Slice topic, saying it might be good to do before the big game on Sunday. The byword here is EASY. This is almost a twist-and-dump thing. You could make your own dough for this (here's a suitable recipe), but I just used store-bought pizza dough from the freezer section. You'll need 2 pounds. (Most store-bought pizza doughs I've seen come in 1-pound portions, often 2 to a package.) More

This guy doesn't have major league stuff. Injured or not...lets cut our losses or just endure losses. I am so distraught.
Printable View
This guy doesn't have major league stuff. Injured or not...lets cut our losses or just endure losses. I am so distraught.
I really don't blame him for that home run last night. I forget who the batter was but Majewski really did strike him out 3 times but the ump was blind as a bat.
i agree with degenrate10. Those pitches were strikes or close enough to them i do no kno how delucci did not swing. Let's remember he's only a year removed from being injured give him time. You just can't throw the guy away after what we traded for him.
I don't agree that he doesn't have major league stuff. I don't know quite what the problem is, but I did watch closely his first outing after he came back from Louisville. That inning he was throwing 94, what I think was probably a two-seam cut fastball, and moving it way in on right handers. That's major league stuff.
When i cringe when i see who's coming in from the bullpen
thats when we need to cut a guy loose. Of course that
wont happen because WK will make sure of it. Whatever
his stuff is or is not, can he get batters out? Thats all that
matters. The answer is NO
He will be ok, he is throwing harder than he did all of last year so its just a matter of location. Last night he was being squeezed and thats what caused the HR.
well 2 nites ago he got big double play last nite he should of struck out delucci so i'd say he can get a few guys out
Why cut him loose? It's not like we have that much coming up behind him, and its not like we have anything to play for this season. He was an expensive get, lets see if he pans out in the long run.
Not sure I'd write off 2007 yet, as improbable as that sounds. This division is not very good, just like last year--something that made Krivsky and others think we had a chance, which, in fact, we did, even though the club was not very good. There are slow but steady signs of improvement in this team lately, and right now a rotation of Harang, Arroyo, Lohse, Bailey, Belisle is pretty good. The bullpen too is getting a little better. The process is slow and painful but the improvement is real. I think you keep Majewski because he's got wicked stuff. It's just a matter of time with him, IMHO.
yeah just a matter of time, why in the next eon he should be fine
My confidence in McBeth on the mound > Majewski on the mound.
McBeth's confidence in himself to get MLB hitters out > than Majewski's self confidence.
Not to be negative, but it just looks like he is expecting to get tatooed out there. I have never seen a less confident pitcher on the mound as far as his demeanor.
I can't believe some of you guys...get rid of him because he just got back from an injury and he doesn't have major league stuff? Give him a few weeks, sheesh...always find a way to complain. Also he has been getting picked on by the umps last 2 games.
He had a sub 3 era in 04..that is major league material. =

LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The New Mexico State softball team dropped its first conference game to No. 23 Fresno State, 9-1, at the NM State Softball Complex Friday night.
NM State (27-12, 6-1 WAC) opened the game with two errors that allowed Fresno State to score its first run. The Aggies never recovered as Fresno State (23-9, 7-0 WAC) starter Michelle Moses shut down the NM State offense. Moses allowed just four hits on the night not allowing a base hit until the bottom of the third. FS remained undefeated in league play by posting nine runs on 12 hits in the five-inning win.
"I think we played tentatively tonight," said head coach Kathy Rodolph. "We need to be more aggressive both in the circle and at the plate against a good team like Fresno State.
Sophomore Alex Newman started in the circle for the Aggies forcing two ground outs to begin the game but two Aggie errors helped fill the bases allowing Fresno State to score an unearned run for a 1-0 lead.
Moses retired the Aggies in order in the bottom of the frame.
The Bulldogs added three in the top of the second. Again the Aggies posted two outs with just a runner at second but a single scored one run and a home run blast by Moses provided a pair of RBI for a 4-0 FS lead after two.
Fresno State added more runs in the third. After one out, FS hit three consecutive singles to load the bases. The Aggies recorded out number two at home on a fielder's choice. Moses helped her cause again with an RBI single up the middle. A Bulldog double followed, scoring two more for a 7-0 advantage.
The Aggies made a pitching change as senior Alex Villalobos came into the circle in relief of Newman. Villalobos committed a balk to allow a run to score and the runner to move to third before recording the final out of the inning on a pop-up.
Down 8-0, Aggie Kylie Randall notched the Aggies' first hit of the game with a two-out single. But Moses was able to get out of the inning with the lead intact.
Villalobos allowed a lone base runner in the top of the fourth on a walk.
NM State scored its only run of the game on a solo home run to left field by junior Tiare Jennings to open the inning. Senior Ashley Maroda followed with a single to left field then moved to second on a wild pitch but NM State could not bring another run across.
The Bulldogs started the fifth with a single and a double to score its final run of the game.
Randall singled again in the bottom of the fifth for the Aggies final hit of the game.
The Aggies and Bulldogs play a doubleheader Saturday to conclude the series at the NM State Softball Complex that is slated to begin at 2 p.m. MT.

Anyone who's lived in Iowa Falls for a while knows the Rock "C" Store on the corner at 418 Rocksylvania Ave.
Preston Ault has owned the store for 30 years and says the Rock "C" loves its customers and treats them well. He believes the store's customer service sets it apart from some of the larger chains.
"We base our business on customer service. That's what we strive to do. Our customers are the only reason we're there," Ault said.
Ault is a friendly man who knows almost everyone who walks through the door, as does his staff. They appear to know what many people want as soon as they arrive at the counter and admit to asking for the sale on lottery, too.
He said, "The [staff] are very good. They know most of the customers - what they smoke, what they drink. And it's already on the counter when they walk in. And I think the customers appreciate that, too. They know if they're going to buy tickets, most of the people that play. And they know probably what they're going to play."
Ault said a staff member who knows a customer is a lottery player might ask, "How many Bingos do you want today?"
Rock "C" sells 12 scratch games right now and Ault is considering adding more. Its most popular scratch games are the $3 and $5 tickets, especially "Crossword."
"The lottery works well for us. We enjoy it and make it fun," he said.
The store's District Sales Representative, Kevin Claxton, echoes what Ault says about his business' strengths.
"Rock 'C' still manages to thrive in the convenience industry, which is heavily chain dominated, by providing quality service to their long-time customers. They know most customers by name and what their usual purchase is, so their customers feel like family," Claxton said.
While Rock "C" is not large, its lottery sales numbers have been good for a store its size. In a recent five-month period from July 1 through Dec. 1, 2012, the store was in the top 25 of 316 stores for overall sales in its northeastern region.
The store has a 12-game pull-tab dispenser, and that product is a great performer. In fact, pull-tabs are its strongest product: Rock "C" ranked sixth in pull-tab sales out of 140 pull-tab retailers in its regional area during that same five-month period.
"Rock 'C' is holding pretty steady in this category," Claxton said.
After spending his entire career in the retail and convenience store business, Ault admits that like many retailers, he plays the lottery, too. And like his customers, he dreams of winning a big prize, which might speed up a future retirement.
"I tell my wife, 'We only have to win once!'" he laughed.

"Consumers don't want a living room cluttered with wires and the new Blu-ray disc product line-up breaks down the wired barriers of the past."
Offering built-in wireless network capabilities, the BDP-S560 can easily connect to the Internet through an existing wireless home network to download and stream BD-Live content including additional scenes, short subjects, trailers, interactive games, and more. It also enables easy firmware updates to assist in keeping your player up-to-date with the latest Blu-ray disc media and features.
While compatible with most wireless routers, the BDP-S560 also supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup, for a quick and easy connection to enabled wireless routers. Additionally, the player is Digital Living Network Alliance ready, allowing it to connect to other DLNA compliant devices to share digital photos.
Since many consumers own extensive DVD movie libraries, the BDP-S560 incorporate Sony's Precision Cinema HD Upscale technology that converts standard-definition signals (480i) to near HD quality, among a host of other features include Dolby sound.
The BDP-S560 is now shipping with a suggested retail of $450.
Sony is also launching a new 5.1 channel Blu-ray disc home theatre system, the BDV-E500W.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewGil is the currency used throughout the Final Fantasy universe and also in the Kingdom Hearts games (in the english versions of the Kingdom Hearts series, it is referred to as "munny"). It is collected by players to buy weapons, armor, magic, and accessories so as to improve the characters during the course of the adventure. Gil is obtained by defeating monsters and defeating bosses, but can also be acquired by selling vendors items that the player has come across. In addition to these methods, some of the more modern games have included mini-games that allow players to gamble to win additional Gil. This was first introduced in Final Fantasy VII as the game included an arcade in which players could play games in hopes of winning larger sums of money. Final Fantasy VIII continued this trend, allowing players to put money bets on a popular card game called Triple Triad. History According to Final Fantasy IV, the origin of the word Gil is due to the fact that populace referred to the royal family Damcyan as Gilbert. Thus as they lived in the royal family's kingdom, the currency used would be named in their honor. In some of the older Final Fantasy titles, some characters would have the ability to use Gil as a weapon in battle. Such moves as "Coin Toss", "Gil Toss", "Zeninage" and "Spare Change" showed the character throwing Gil coins at the enemy and inflicting large amounts of damage.

Palin New York Connection: Feel The Media Hate!
We didn't see much action on this front before, but after her big speech last night, Sarah Palin is getting plenty of New York media play.
Heather of newyorkshitty watches a Palin supporter from her old home state of Texas, audibly snickers in the background. "This old coot cracks me up," she says. "I left Texas in 1996... I never, EVER wanted to go back to this."
Gatemouth of Room 8 asks "What is it Republicans don't like about Community Organizers? Community Organizers work to bring people together, USUALLY THOUGH THEIR CHURCHES..." Earlier he had called her "Ms. Rocky Racoon [sic]."
Gawker focused on the recantation of Wall Street Journal winger Peggy Noonan, who had been caught calling the Palin pick "political bullshit" on a live mike, with the hed "Peggy Noonan Sorry For Truth-Telling Accident." Separately, Gawker analyzed "McCain Ticket's Reversal On Family Matters." Also: "Palin Squire Chews Gum Like A Tool."
Bloomberg News tells us "Palin's Alaska Record Short on Trade, Immigration Decisions." New York's Daily Intel culls a couple of the nastier Palin tweets from Wired's twitter roundup.
Even upstaters get into the act. Capitol Confidential bullets Palin's attack lines ("Swipe at Obama's ardent followers," "Jab at 'community organizer' again"). Politics on the Hudson says, "Palin misleads on taxes," gives examples.
At Fishbowl, Ana Marie Cox and Friends do some sidewalk video. They think it was weird having the first female GOP VP candidate and a chant of "drill, baby, drill" at the same time. Also: "She read what was on her teleprompter very, very well." They notice that, as members of the media, the crowd despises them.
The New York Post does its usual Murdochian thing ("PALIN WOWS 'EM BY POUNDING DC SNOBS") but for local market purposes includes unimpressed comments from a panel recruited for their gender similarities to the candidate.
The New York Times tries to be a little folksy ("Palin's Hometown Friends Enjoy the Show") but is fooling nobody, as everyone knows it is the main propaganda outlet of the "left-wing media," as the line with which Rudolph Giuliani whipped the Convention crowd into a frenzy put it. So in the main they, and we, played our assigned role in the Republican morality tale of down-home rightwing extremists vs. rootless cosmopolitan media snobs.

Outside your comfort zone
As a 6-year-old who is, by definition, vertically challenged, Ava is highly aware of who's sitting in front of her at plays and movie theaters. So when she took her seat at the Museum of Science's Charles Hayden Planetarium, she immediately griped that she wasn't going to be able to see.
"Don't worry,'' we told her. "Look up.''
In the plush reclining seats that fill the auditorium — which reopened to the public last month after a $9 million renovation — everyone gets a stunning view of the 57-foot dome. Alas, on the day we attended, the planetarium's state-of-the-art, $2 million Zeiss Starmaster projector was on the fritz. We relied on a digital backup system, so I'm not sure what we missed. But what we saw made an impression on a child who is newly aware of what lies beyond her planet.
The planetarium offers several different shows, but we chose "The Sky Tonight,'' a basic primer of the planets and stars on view in Boston. It was geared toward young audiences and astronomy beginners, with live narration from an enthusiastic astronomer. She called out for answers, made a few jokes, and used some nifty digital magic to outline some of the famous constellations.
But where things really got exciting — for Ava, at least — was when we "left'' our perch on Earth, zoomed up for a close view of Saturn and its rings, then continued past the solar system and beyond the Milky Way. Ava swore it was we who were moving, not the screen, and when we stopped short at Saturn, she let out a shriek. (Apologies to the patrons behind us.)
The 40-minute show was perfect for limited attention spans, and we exited to an interactive exhibit on the solar system, featuring scale models of the planets and the sun. The last planet was Neptune, not Pluto. So much for my elementary-school education; this new stuff is up to date.
Tickets to the Planetarium are separate from those to the main exhibit halls, so you could go for a quick visit if you wanted. But we were lured to the museum's other bells, whistles, and cheery volunteers. The stars and planets made an impression on Ava, but so did an exhibit on the workings of the human body, which had her building a "pulse detector'' out of Play-Doh, a straw, and a bottlecap. She walked out of the museum with a stack of spoils — and an inclination to study the nighttime sky.
Tickets $10 adults, $9 seniors, $8 children. Admission to main museum exhibit halls not included. For schedule and ticket ordering, go to www.mos.org/exhibits_shows/planetarium.

DNxHD Marvel
Mar 1, 2008 12:00 PM, By Michael Goldman
Behind the DNxHD 36 workflow for Iron Man.
Shooting Shell Head
As he got ready to enter the digital-intermediate phase of the Iron Man project at EFilm, Hollywood, alongside Director Jon Favreau and Colorist Steve Scott, Cinematographer Matthew Libatique mused about the effort behind his first gigantic visual-effects-laden feature film.
"It's a difficult film to talk about because it's unlike any film I've been a part of," Libatique says. "Because of the visual effects, in a strange way, it's more collaborative than other films. You are so reliant on other departments. You have to exercise different muscles because you are taking preventative measures, and yet trying to be aggressive with the film. It was a learning curve for me."
In particular, Libatique says he felt he had to create a look, choose stocks, and light in a way that took the film's extensive visual-effects requirements into account.
"The primary mission to get my head around was reverse-engineering the look of the film based on what was required for visual effects," he says. "I didn't want to do a variety of processes that would make it difficult for them to do composites. Luckily, [Visual Effects Supervisor] John Nelson was willing to stay away from lots of greenscreens and [accepted] handheld or moving cameras without the benefit of motion control quite a bit, so I had to take that into account and not create issues [for the visual-effects team]. Also, Jon Favreau was bothered in past films by [heavy grain]. I'm a big fan of grain, but for him, I wanted to create a thick negative with fine grain. Beyond that, though, I stayed in my wheelhouse — mixing color temperatures, measuring what language I could, and using the character of Tony Stark as motivation for creating an emotional language of light for the character."
Libatique nixed Favreau's initial idea to shoot the movie using Panavision Genesis HD cameras, successfully arguing that much of the movie takes place during the day, thus preventing the production from taking advantage of Genesis' strengths in low-light situations. Instead, he used Panavision Millennium and Millennium XL film cameras — outfitted with Panavision Primo lenses, Angenieux Optimo zooms, and a brand-new Cooke 15mm-40mm lens that served as his primary lens on the Technocrane camera.
He shot virtually the entire movie, except for some effects plates, using Kodak Vision2 500T Color Negative Film 5218, rated at 320 and 400. Although he had the benefit of HD dailies throughout the project, he periodically filmed out sequences to judge color and light. "I love the digital intermediate, but I need a guide to see where I am, and I like doing that with printer lights," he says. "For this film, it was consistently in the low 40s, and that helped me judge the grain. Seeing the effects shots that [were ready at press time], this process helped me stay consistent."
Suit light
Libatique also faced the challenge of lighting pieces of the various iterations of the Iron Man suit — the original steel suit, the silver second version, and the advanced red version.
"The beauty of the first suit — a stunning creation by Stan Winston — is the interesting way it accepted light because of its dull sort of armor," Libatique says. "Imagine something made out of old missile parts. You don't really have to light it, per se. You just create a naturalistic setting for the environment, and you don't have to keylight it in the traditional sense. The first iteration of the modern suit is completely silver and shiny, though. This one accepted light even further, so I worked at very low light levels when we shot that suit. Otherwise, it would scream. And then, the final red suit — the big problem with that was I have an aversion where skin tones can easily turn magenta. To combat that, you normally add green to the image, but that can take away from the red of the suit. So that was problematic — I had to keep faces from going magenta without taking away from the redness of the suit. Generally, if we keylit somebody, I would be conscious of what the color temperature was under the keylight. It was about balancing the color of keylight, and not letting the suit be affected by the lights for people's faces in the scenes. In the end, much of the final suit [was] created by ILM. This gave us some breathing room to cheat color.
"But, really, I didn't contend with letting the effects dictate the look in terms of color, other than that one maintenance issue. That and giving it a thick negative to combat grain are really the only two things I did differently. But in terms of color and contrast, I mainly worked like I always do."
For a handful of visual-effects greenscreen plates, Libatique made the unorthodox decision to shoot them with a Panaflex 5-perf 65mm camera. That move was made for specific inner-helmet shots in which viewers see parts of Tony Stark's face viewing computerized data inside his helmet — an attempt to allow viewers to connect with the Stark character during an action beat.
The DP says he felt he could avoid lens distortion with a wide lens inside the cramped space in this manner.
"The problem was, when you push in to get physically close, you are on a wide lens," he says. "If I went to a longer lens, I felt too far away, so I had a dilemma. I thought, 'What if I went with a bigger format?' I could come in with the wider lens, and therefore, flatten it out a bit, and optically, I wouldn't get that distortion. A 40mm lens in a 65mm format would be different than a 40mm lens in 35mm. I got that physical proximity to his face, and I wanted that proximity to be apparent to [viewers]."

With victory in Elitloppet and a gold medal from the Ice-Hockey World Championships – what a week it's been for the Sedin brothers!
Press Release • May 26, 2013 19:53 GMT
Last Sunday, they became the ice-hockey world champions. And then only a week later they won the Elitloppet final.
"Right now it makes no difference where you happen to be in the world," declared an elated Daniel Sedin, on the phone from Vancouver, Canada to TV4 after the horse he owns jointly with his brother Henrik, the splendid Nahar, won Elitloppet.
It was cold, rainy and windy weather at Solvalla at the 62st running of the Elitloppet. But there was nothing wrong with the atmosphere, fuelled by some 25 000 spectators enjoying the event, bringing with them their various hopes, dreams and theories.
There were those who were convinced that the hot favorite Sebastian K. and Åke Svanstedt would win. Elsewhere, a great many Finnish trotting enthusiasts were rooting for Brad de Veluwe, not to mention those who were hoping that the charismatic Lutfi Kolgjini would be first to cross the finishing line with Raja Mirchi.
And yet, the winner turned out to be none of these...
It was Robert Bergh's Nahar, owned by the new ice-hockey world champions in the Swedish national ice-hockey team, Tre Kronor, Daniel and Henrik Sedin.
"It's completely incredible. What a race he ran!" Daniel continued, supported by his father, Tommy, who had watched the race on site at Solvalla.
Trainer Robert Bergh, from Bergsåker, was both composed and elated in response to his historic first victory at Elitloppet.
"I was going to throw my whip up in the air as a classic victory gesture before we crossed the finishing line, but this time I wanted to be really sure," explained Robert Bergh after his fifth, and so very lucky, start at Elitloppet.
Sebastian K. and Åke Svanstedt were the favorite after a solid win in the second elimination race, before Nahar, Brad de Veluwe and Arch Madness.
Nesta Effe, Timoko, Raja Mirchi and Formula One had advanced from the first elimination race, where Maharajah never made it to the start.
In the final, Nahar, Raja Mirchi and Sebastian K. flew the Swedish flag while flying blue and white for Finland was Brad de Veluwe and Formula One. Nesta Effe represented Italy, then Arch Madness for the United States and from France, Timoko.
Thanks to the efforts of Nahar and Robert Bergh, the Swedish flag was hoisted in the winner's enclosure with Arch Madness in second place and Timoko coming in third. The victor was awarded SEK 3,000,000. Prize money also went to Brad de Veluwe in fourth place and Raja Mirchi in fifth.
So what became of the big favorite, Sebastian K.? He came in last after being put under pressure at the front by Raja Mirchi for the greater part of the race.
The winning time for Nahar, charging from the outer fourth post position with 600 meters left, to win comfortably, was 1.10.1.
"Last Saturday we were invited to Prince Daniel's race at Gävle, which we won. It was thanks to this victory that we were given the chance to compete in Elitloppet. And the very least you could say is that we used that chance well," smiled Bergh.
Robert Bergh began training the eight-year-old Nahar on April 12, 2012 and the horse was bought by Stall Sedin HB a month later. Nahar was previously trained by Petter Lundberg, Petri Puro, Håkan Eriksson and Per Lennartsson.
Until today, he was more highly regarded for his power and strength than his speed, and questions had been raised about his invitation to start in Elitloppet. Was he, in fact, just a track filler?
The answer was, of course, a resounding No!
After seeing Nahar come in in second place in the second elimination race, spectators and betters could see that Nahar had moved up a gear, the horse and driver radiated calm confidence and belief in themselves which resulted in low winning odds set at 5.48.
But what of last year's winner Commander Crowe?
Prior to the second elimination, the big topic of conversation was in fact Commander Crowe. Last year's winner had run open an old laceration and the question was whether he was fit to start or not? The vet, Susanne Demmers, and the judges finally gave the go-ahead, but from the third position the ten year old never looked to be a likely winner.
"We have strict system of animal welfare in Sweden and I really hope the vet and the judges took the right decision," questioned TV4's expert and six-time winner of Elitloppet, Stig H Johansson.
After this exciting horse racing event lasting for three days, which has gathered approximately 50,000 spectators, Solvalla and ATG will be regrouping and recharging for the Elitloppet Weekend 2014 (23-25 May).
Hopefully, this will be with Nahar and Bergh in place as the defending champions.

I thought I was doing alot when I was doing 30 minutes a day on either of the 2 machines but then I got a friend who has been working out for while and he uses a treadmill. I decided to try it. Five minutes into the cardio I am almost dead. I would have to think this is now the best cardio workout I have ever done. And I am only doing 20 minutes 4 - 5 times a week

No late night phone calls this time, Senator Kotowski.
Last May, Park Ridge Democratic Senator Dan Kotowski meets with District 64 teachers and promises to protect pensions.
I have previously shared the story of a late Friday night phone call from Senator Dan Kotowski who attacked me for publishing a post saying he had voted for last year's pension cutting bill, HB512.
I had published no such story.
Teachers at one of our schools had found a list of senators who had voted for HB512 when it was a shell bill, an empty bill to be filled in later, which Kotowski had voted in favor of. The ethics of all that I will leave for others to debate for now.
When sixty Region 36 teachers went to Springfield on May 2 to lobby for our pensions, Kotowski came out to greet us, get a photo op and pledge his support.
It was a lie.
From yesterday's Sun-Times.
It's time for the House to vote on HB1447, the pension reform bill passed by the Senate that reduces benefits to politicians; prevents future pension abuse, and protects the investment of retired state employees. Action on this bill will save taxpayers an estimated $31 billion over the coming decades.For too long, legislators from both sides of the aisle avoided making tough decisions regarding Illinois' pension obligations and allowed the state's pension liability to balloon to unsustainable levels.
The interest payment on this massive pension liability drains billions of dollars from the state's budget, which takes resources from vital programs. The pension liability puts the state's credit rating at risk, lowering the state's bond rating and hamstringing our ability to attract outside investment.
In Illinois, our chickens have come home to roost. Springfield can no longer postpone the tough decision that it has been avoiding for years. The time for pension funding reform is now. HB 1447, passed by the Senate, is another crucial step toward reducing Illinois' pension obligation, but the House has not called the bill for a vote.
Speaker Madigan, we cannot afford to wait. The House needs to act now. Call the bill, Mr. Speaker. Call the bill.
State Sen. Dan Kotowski
HB1447 ia one of a number of bills that treats the issue of public employee pensions as a benefit issue rather than a funding issue. It cuts benefits to state employee pensions.
It passed the Senate in the last session, but not the House.
No late night phone calls this time, Senator Kotowski. Your letter. Your name at the bottom.
You bought it. You own it.
July 23, 2012 11:50 am
I told Mr. Kotowski last month when I spoke with him that this Nov. it will be an uphill battle to try and get reelected after what Mr. Madigan and Mr. Cullerton have cooked up for the veto session. Most of the Democrates should just leave Illinois and go hide in Wisconsin with Mr. Walker.
July 23, 2012 1:56 pm
Fred, Dan never lied to the teachers when he said he will support them in their pension efforts.Dan has and will support the teachers. HB 1447 does not affect teachers pensions, you know that. This is just hatchet journalism. Your readers deserve better
July 23, 2012 2:54 pm
Fred, that is a fair point about you not being a journalist. And I am not asking you to be an apologist. Still, you should represent the issue fairly. I just think it's a bad argument to say that if Dan supports reforms on one pension system that he also supports the same reforms on other pensions systems. They are different systems with different problems and its not fair to Dan to attack him on something he has not even had a chance to vote on yet.
HB 1447 cuts benefits (free health care) for state employees who are receiving benefits they did not pay to receive. Teachers, on the other hand, pay for their health care. The two systems are apples and oranges, Fred, and it is not fair to Dan to pretend otherwise.
July 23, 2012 3:15 pm
I think that is a gross oversimplification of the issue, but you are entitled to your opinion. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. Time will tell who is right on the issue.
