|Drought-resistant corn, wonder rice, and cassava packed with vitamins are all promises of biotech for farmers in developing countries. But how has biotech delivered on those dreams? In this hour of Science Friday, we'll talk about transgenic crops. What does it take to get them from the lab to a small farmer's plot? Are these crops turning traditional farming upside down? Plus, how far off are crops that could thrive in saltier, drier soils, and tolerate higher temperatures? A recent paper says biotech is key to safeguarding our food supply as the climate changes. But is it the only way? We're broadcasting live this week from St Louis, Missouri, as the guests of KWMU.

While both games ended with identical 3-2 scores, the fortunes of North Country's two hockey teams were as different as night and day.
The good news is that at least one team will make an appearance at the Gutterson Field House, as the girls won their semi-final game against Middlebury.
For the boys, they fell just short in their journey to the finals, losing a heartfelt game in triple overtime to South Burlington.
Updates to come online, and the full stories will be in Monday's Express on the 11th of March, 2013.

If you're interested in taking an inexpensive cruise, and Carnival's recent trouble does not deter you, you're in luck!
Carnival Corp. (CCL) is offering a Caribbean cruise for as little as $38 a night. That's actually less than a stay at Motel 6.
For $38 per-person, per night, you can take a four-day trip to the Bahamas from Port Canaveral with stops in Nassau and Half Moon Cay. The ship includes a comedy club, a piano bar, a casino and a spa.
A four-night trip on Carnival's Imagination, leaving Miami on April 22, costs $149 a person, including meals and some beverages, according to the cruise company's website yesterday.
The company is based in Miami, and has been in the news ever since the Carnival Triumph's engine fire back in February that left thousands of passengers stranded at sea for several days. The conditions were reportedly awful, including limited toilet use and food service.
The company said they are hoping these prices will lure customers in after the Triumph troubles and other mishaps.

Unlike the alligators of urban legend that lurk in Manhattan's sewers, a real-life reptile took up residence in a drain pipe in an otherwise quiet neighborhood near the Ulamay Wildlife Sanctuary -- belching menacing, rumbling hisses at passers-by.
Since December, the alligator inhabited the grated end of a stormwater pipe off Lakewood Circle. And nearby humans feared for the animal's health and safety.
Neighborhood guesstimates of the gator's length ranged from 4 to 10 feet -- only the fearsome, scaly snout was typically visible, poking out of the pipe. Whatever its length, the toothy reptile apparently was not happy with its living situation.
"He actually raised his head and snapped at the grate," Dreama Justice said of a Tuesday morning encounter during her daily walk.
"I'd hate to see him die in the neighborhood. Can you imagine how stressed he's got to be by now?"
Hours later, the reptile was removed. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers used plastic piping to coax the 7-foot gator to backpedal -- "he wasn't at all happy about it," spokeswoman Joy Hill described -- and the beast was captured soon afterward.
The alligator was relocated to a St. Johns River marsh, Hill said.
Barb Venuto was relieved by the rescue operation.
She likened the alligator's growling sounds with "a large dragon roar" -- and she feared the creature might injure a curious child.
She said worried elementary-school girls conducted prayer services near the pipe -- but boys teased the creature and tried to feed it hot dogs.
Neighbors repeatedly had contacted the FWC and asked for someone to free the gator, to no avail. A group of neighbors and a reporter and photographer from Local 6 News partner Florida Today congregated by the pipe Tuesday afternoon, and FWC officers removed the animal shortly afterward.
Last week in Seminole, a FWC trapper, deputies and onlookers helped pull an 8-foot alligator from a roadside drain. Wildlife officials plan to transport the animal to a gator farm.
The FWC initially recommended that the Merritt Island neighbors contact a private wildlife rescue or rehabilitation facility -- but residents feared a trapper would promptly kill the gator and harvest its meat and hide.
Hill said alligators rarely feed this time of year, and it was not trapped in the pipe.
"If he crawled up there, he could crawl back out 99 out of 100 times," she said.
The FWC's Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program received 14,275 nuisance alligator complaints in 2011, and 6,995 gators were removed.
"We're so happy they were able to save him, and he's OK," Venuto said Tuesday night. "I've lived here 20 years and never saw that before."

8 Nights in Greece: Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini
go-today • Athens, Greece
Escape Kit
- Two Nights in Amalia Hotel in Athens, Three Nights in Mykonos Palace in Mykonos, and Three Nights in Kallisti Hotel in Santorini (Hotels Subject to Change)
- Round-Trip Airfare from USA to Athens
- Half-Day Guided City and Island Tour of Mykonos
- Athens-by-Night Guided Tour with Dinner and Folkloric Show
- Economy-Class Ferry Transfers to Each Island
- Round-Trip Airport and Hotel Ground Transfers
- Daily Breakfast
- All Taxes Included
Greece's contributions to history, science, and philosophy aside, the country's tradition of mythology and mysticism—plus its well-preserved ruins—make it an otherworldly destination for sophisticated travelers. Add to that its craggy coastline, iconic white cliffside homes, and inimitable cuisine, and you've got a vacation destination unlike any other on earth.
Escape to this eons-old civilization that stands teetering on the edge of an illustrious past and an ever-promising future, with this seven-day trip to Greece—courtesy of go-today—in which you'll travel to two islands and the country's capital.
After landing in Athens, a go-today representative will drive you to the Amalia Hotel Athens, centrally located in Syntagma Square. Your one-night stay is complemented by a guided nighttime tour of the city. After a beautiful drive around Athens, it's off to photograph the Acropolis, then to visit a museum dedicated to the musical history of Greece. From there, you'll stroll through the Old City to a quintessential Greek tavern for an evening of dinner, live music, and a folkloric dance performance.
After breakfast the following morning, you'll be driven to Piraeus, where you'll catch a ferry to Mykonos. After transferring to the Mykonos Palace Hotel, situated right on the beach, you'll have a chance to stroll the harbor, pop into shops and restaurants, and take in the sights on this 33-square-mile island. The nightlife is particularly revelrous here, so be sure to get a nap in before you hit the town. At some point, you'll take an included half-day tour in which a guide will lead you through the city's famously labyrinthine streets. Then it's off to explore the island's famous windmills, followed by a trip to a popular fishing beach, and a tour of a 16th century monastery.
Another ferry takes you from Mykonos to the striking island of Santorini, known for its white hillside houses and azure blue water. One of these postcard-perfect structures is the Kallisti Hotel, where you'll stay for three nights. The hotel is within walking distance of restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and other local cultural institutions, though the hotel may be hard to leave, as it features a pool and Jacuzzi, a restaurant and bar, and several on-site diversions.
Back in Athens, you'll stay again at the Amalia Hotel. There, you'll have the day at your leisure to explore ancient Athens, its dozens of archaeological sites, and many history museums.

"The sight greets you time and again in Greece—a line of solid, sun-bleached masonry silhouetted against a clear blue sky. A land where temples, theaters, statues, a stray Doric column or two ... these traces of the ancients are thick on the ground."-- Read Fodor's Review of Greece

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- February is "Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month."
You may hear this and think, that's something that happens to other people, but know this: The next time you see three teens, odds are one of them will be beaten, verbally or sexually abused or even killed as a result of a dating relationship.
This story is about what you can do to make sure you help that one person who needs it. We've also listed places to call at the end of this article to get help.
More:Relationship Quizzes/Learn The Signs of Abuse
Nate Robertson of Arlington, Virginia knows firsthand the effects dating violence can have. His sister Abby Robertson was killed by her ex-boyfriend in 2007.
"My sister was incredibly smart, a very passionate person. She just was a person that everybody wanted to have around."
Nate is telling her story so that other families don't have to endure the same pain he has.
With her pretty, all-American good looks, 21-year-old Abigail or "Abby" Robertson probably isn't the face you'd picture when you think "dating violence."
Nate didn't either.
"My family didn't think he would kill her, I didn't think he would kill her, her friends didn't think he would kill her. You have to understand that these types of situations can lead directly to that."
The "he" Nate is talking about is 24-year-old former Army soldier Marcus Hightower. Abby and Marcus met at Metropolitan State University in Denver, when he was her residence assistant. They dated for 5 months, then she told him she wanted to break it off.
Nate explains how the violence started, "He had knocked her down, he had hit her in the chest with an iron, he had been possessive."
Abby moved off-campus but Nate says Hightower kept stalking.
"One time he came over to her house, he punched her in the chest, knocked her down, then ran outside and slashed all the tires on her car, keyed her car."
Nate says the family got a restraining order, but the stalking didn't stop.
Police say on December 11th, 2007, Hightower busted into Abby's apartment, stabbed her 20-plus times, and shot her 4 times. Abby died one day after her 21st birthday. In 2010, Hightower was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Nate says since 2007, it's been a struggle.
"The hardest emotion to deal with is the guilt because you feel like you let the person down. I feel like every day I let my sister down by allowing this to happen to her."
Kiyana Oxendine of Northwest D.C. has lived to share her story of abuse. She too may not look like what you might consider a typical victim.
"You wouldn't expect me to be that girl, I was this high school, straight A student, I went to work. I was always smiling, I was always happy, that's how people knew me, that was my façade."
Kiyana met her boyfriend when she was a teen. She says he checked in with her constantly.
"I thought he just cared about where I was or he was just concerned about my safety. I didn't put two and two together that he's controlling. It became physical gradually, and it might have been a push, or like a shove and then it got outright bad."
While Abby Robertson opened up to her family about her abuse, Kiyana says no one knew her pain.
"I would hide my marks, I would wear turtlenecks to work, you would be none the wiser, I work with the public, if I cried, I went to myself and cried. You would never know."
Kiyana says after years of beatings, she knew the worst one had to be the last. After years of private pain, she credits God with giving her the strength to leave.
"I overcame it, I'm not a victim, I'm a survivor and there's someone else who can probably really use this bit of advice."
Karma Cottman runs the DC Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Her goal, to stop dating violence in it's tracks.
Cottman says, "Often times people think it's just about the physical abuse, but especially for teenagers, manipulation and emotional abuse is extremely important."
Cottman says young women ages 16 to 24 are at the greatest risk. She shared with us the signs of abuse. It often starts off with controlling behavior.
"The jealousy, signs that you have to check in all the time, signs that's someone wants to know where you are all the time."
Then, oftentimes, she says the abuser will try to keep you to him or herself.
"Signs that you're being isolated from your family and friends, so someone's telling you when you can be around your friends....saying that this person is good and this person is not good for you."
And then, there's the physical. "We tell people that the first time is usually not the last time and at that point if you can get help, please, please do."
We caught up with Cottman while she was giving a speech to dozens of teens at a Teen Dating Violence Roundtable at the John A. Wilson Building in downtown D.C. on Valentine's Day.
She says even if the teens at the roundtable aren't at risk, they may know a friend who is. That's why it's so important to talk about this.
It's a thought echoed often by Nate Robertson, five years after his sister's death.
"Friends need to step in and say this person is dangerous and you need to take this more seriously than you're taking it, because this happens, 21-year-old women get murdered by their ex-boyfriends."
Cottman says the National Domestic Violence hotline gets 30,000 calls a year from people who live in D.C., and the number shows no signs of decreasing any time soon.
The DC Coalition Against Domestic Violence is one of many organizations helping victims throughout this area.
The Domestic Violence Coordinating Council of Montgomery County is holding an awareness conference Sunday, March 3, 2013. You don't have to live in the county to attend.
It's called the "4th Annual Choose Respect Montgomery Teen Dating Conference" and it runs from 1pm to 4:30 pm.
The event is free for students in grades six through 12, their parents and youth service providers. Workshops will be held in English and in Spanish.
Organizers say they'll teach participants how to recognize all signs of abuse, how to advocate for yourself, and be there to support your friends and family.
The event will take place at:
Montgomery College, Germantown Campus
Globe Hall
20200 Observation Drive
Germantown, MD 20876

Without the ocean, there would be no fish. Without fish, there would be no Rubio's. It's why we're so passionate about serving sustainable seafood whenever possible. And why we celebrate the ocean and its delicious bounty.
\suh-stey-nuh-buhl see-food\ noun
Sustainable seafood is fished or farmed using practices that maintain healthy seafood populations without harming the environment.
Look for this icon on our menu to find items that feature sustainable seafood.
By choosing sustainable seafood you help preserve ocean species and ensure a healthy ocean for future generations. Go the extra nautical mile and choose sustainable seafood when possible.
Sourced from the icy ocean waters of Alaska, 100% of our genuine wild Alaska Pollock is certified as responsibly managed in accordance with the FAO-Based Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) Certification
100% of our Atlantic Salmon is sourced from responsibly managed fisheries that are certified as sustainable in accordance with Best Aquaculture Practices.
100% of our Shrimp is sourced from responsibly managed fisheries that are certified as sustainable in accordance with Best Aquaculture Practices.
100% of our Regal Springs® Tilapia is sourced from responsibly managed fisheries that are certified sustainable in accordance with the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC).
Learn more about our tilapia supplier, Regal Springs®.
Alaska takes marine conservation seriously. Alaska is the only state with a constitutional mandate for sustainability. Alaska now participates in the FAO-Based Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) Certification program. This certification shows that Alaska's fisheries meet the criteria of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, the most comprehensive and respected fisheries management guidelines in the world. Our Wild Alaska Pollock has FAO-Based Responsible Fisheries Management Certification.
The Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) aims to be the world's leading certification and labeling program for responsibly farmed seafood. The ASC provides a credible, independent, third-party assessment process to recognize and reward responsible aquaculture. To meet the ASC certification standards, farms must prove they are using responsible methods that incorporate best management practices that minimize environmental and social impacts. The ASC play a large part in transforming seafood markets towards sustainability. Our Regal Springs® Tilapia is certified by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council.
The Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) standards address environmental and social responsibility, animal welfare, food safety and traceability in a voluntary certification program for aquaculture facilities. BAP certification defines the most important elements of responsible aquaculture and provides quantitative guidelines by which to evaluate adherence to those practices. Our Atlantic Salmon and shrimp are certified and raised in accordance with best aquaculture practices (BAP).
The Global Aquaculture Alliance is a worldwide third-party certification organization with a set of certification standards - the Best Aquaculture Practices - for hatcheries, farms, processing facilities and feed mills. These standards were developed to protect and monitor environmental impact, food safety and traceability. In adopting these standards, the seafood industry can better meet the demands of the growing global market for wholesome seafood produced in an environmentally and socially responsible manner.
While our Alaska Pollock, Atlantic Salmon, Shrimp, and Tilapia are sustainable, there are certain fish – like Mahi Mahi – where sustainable isn't possible yet. Hopefully that changes. Mostly for the sake of the Mahi Mahi, whom we love.
At Rubio's, you'll see both wild-caught and farm-raised seafood on our menu.
This is for a good reason: catching everything in the wild would deplete the very resource to which we owe everything.
So we source farm-raised seafood raised in clean waters, free of growth hormones and harmful levels of toxins. This helps Rubio's keep the world's oceans full and healthy while continuing to serve a variety of seafood to our guests.
And because we're committed to sourcing from only the highest quality fisheries, the result is a
win-win-win: you can enjoy delicious tilapia, salmon and shrimp in our dishes, support environmentally and socially responsible fishing practices, and help keep our oceans thriving for years to come.

Four-Links – aero ALFA, Edsels of '58, Torpedo reconstructed, Boris does diesels
* David Greenlees over at The Old Motor this week pulled together some information on the Castagna-bodied 1913 A.L.F.A. Aerodinamica, a car that must've in some capacity influenced the Hungerford Rocket Car.
* After our post on the Fords of '58, Casey shared with us his scan of Edsel's 1958 brochure, showing a number of similar renderings.
* We were mightily impressed when Paul Brodie recreated an Excelsior board track bike from just a photo several years back, so you can imagine how much more impressed we are at Pavel Malaník's recreation of a 1909 Torpedo, featuring an incredible radial-like four-cylinder engine, also from little more than a photo.
* Who knew that Boris Vallejo did an ad for Detroit Diesel?
* Finally, Jen over at Autoholics brought us news this week of an upcoming Back to the Future screening that will feature a host of DeLoreans and Christopher Lloyd himself.

"Holy Cow," I said as I turned off the TV in disgust. "This country is sure in a mess. I can hardly stand to watch the news anymore."
"I could fix it," Uncle Spud smiled.
"You could fix what?"
"I could fix everything," he said. "Make me king for a week and I could fix it."
"Okay," I said, "I hereby crown you king. Now what?"
Spud smiled.
"My first act as king is to reinstate sovereignty over our borders. Anyone coming here illegally will be considered an enemy alien. They will be jailed, fined, and deported immediately. Repeat offenders will be sent to penal colonies on the fringes of that arctic paradise called ANWR. Those who hire illegals will be deported with the illegals they hire."
He continued.
"Career criminals will become career prisoners. A third felony conviction locks the door for 20 years with no possibility of parole. A fourth felony is a life sentence."
"I hereby declare a new criminal justice system," he said. "We are going back to something similar to the 'eye for an eye' standard that Moses used. If a person steals something, he must give it back - all of it - with interest. No more fat cats looting companies and getting to keep the mansions and airplanes after doing six months of house arrest and 40 hours of community service. Under the new system, robbers get robbed, muggers get mugged, terrorists get terrorized, and murderers get murdered."
"And we will have two sets of penal codes," he promised. "Politicians, judges, and cops will be held to a higher standard than the common folk. There is no excuse for those who make laws and enforce laws, to ever break the law. For them especially, punishment will be sure and swift."
"And I hereby declare a new social order," he smiled. "We will skip a generation when it comes to child rearing. Grandparents will raise their grandchildren while the parents work. Parents will raise their grandchildren in turn. Call it an investment in the family and the future of the country. Some Indian tribes actually practiced this in the old days. It's a great way to keep the youngest and strongest citizens in the workforce while giving the older generation something critically important to do to earn their keep and keep them occupied. It's also a great thing for the kids."
"I also declare that in matters of war, politicians must lead the charge," the Spudster giggled. "No more sending other people off to fight unless the president and his cabinet are with the first Marines to hit the beach. Call it an investment in commitment. Is the fight really worth the cost, or not?"
"I hereby declare that all sports heroes, movie stars, and musicians will be paid union scale. We will divert the big bucks to the people who really earn and deserve them: the cops, soldiers, firefighters, and EMS workers who put their lives on the line for us every day. Schoolteachers, too, will have their wages raised substantially.
"I hereby declare that everyone will pay an equal share of the tax burden. Ten percent of annual income with no deductions and no excuses. And if you take your money out of the country to shelter it from taxes, your citizenship goes with it."
"I hereby declare that politicians must live by all of the rules and regulations they impose upon the rest of us. And we will make them retire with social security benefits and with Medicare and Medicaid as their primary health insurance. I predict that we will see some big changes in those programs when this goes into effect."
"I hereby declare that every citizen will be required to give a minimum of one year of service to the country. They can serve in the military, the Peace Corps, as social workers, sanitation workers, community volunteers, or in any number of other, useful programs. To most people, citizenship holds little value when it is a free gift. We value things more when we earn them."
"What type of crown will you wear as king?" I asked.
"Old King Tut never had a crown any better than my Stetson," Uncle Spud grinned. "I'll just stick with that."
"But I thought Roy Rogers was the king of the cowboys?"
"Shut up and hand me that branding iron," he said. "I'll use that as my scepter."

micoach is all you need to get the results you want.
(3 Products)
You feel good, but also special when wearing it. The blue one I ordered is a particular one... it is a nice color. I rate it 5 stars, because I was not deceived. However, I would have liked the bottom to be a bit tightier, but it doesn't really matter at that point anymore, shall I say it like that. ... read more
This jacket is so colourful and funky. It can literally be worn with anything due to the variety of colours on the Adidas logo on the back. Overall it's a very good fit but possibly slightly loose. But this makes it very comfortable and there is still a decent bit of warmth in the jacket. This isn't the last one that I will be purchasing! ... read more
Best of anything I have bought from the store, Im 5ft 7" with 38" chest and a similar belly. It fits perfectly in all areas and looks cool, I know its 30 quid more then the Track Top version but it is worth it. ... read more
I have been adidas customer since a while and i never disappointed with their products. I really loved this jacket, it fits well and looks very beautiful on my body. I highly recommend it especially for athletes or people who are fairly active !! ... read more
Simply love the designe of the superstar jacket I have worn these for many years and will continue to do so Adidas never fail to deliver with the designe and ingenuity.wether smart or casual these jackets simply meet any occasion love them Carlton ... read more
Was a bit hesitant on the size as always when ordering online but I just went according to their size chart and fitting tips and bought according to my chest measurement. Happy to say it's an absolute perfect fit couldn't be happier would definitely recommend this stylish jacket ... read more
Love the way it looks on me. This is my third superstar track jacket over the years and this one came at a great sale price of $45 Cdn. as part of a Canada Day sale. Pairs well with jeans or workout gear, even my cargo shorts. Nicely done Adidas! ... read more
I love this top/jacket. Very good quality and exceptionally stylish. All the colors look great but I choose green. The logo on the back makes it even better. I'd buy one of each color if I could. This will be a timeless classic and is my favorite garment in my closet. A must have for anyone who wants to look cool! ... read more
This Jacket is one of the most iconic around. Nothing tops the Adidas superstar track jacket. From Run DMC, to Jay Kay, to Sporty Spice, this jacket has been a fashion icon for decades. (I tend to relate it most to 90's/millennium fashion because that is when I was born) The secret is the ribbed collar. If people see you rocking that ribbed coller, you know what you are doing. (No offense to the fire bird)These recent iterations on this cosmic jacket are the best yet. It is a heavy jacket and I mean that in the bet possible way. It is high quality-bottom line. This timeless look that is quintessential to wardrobes everywhere, and will anyone who wears it, a superstar. (Especially with black jeans rather than blue) ... read more
I purchased the white one and it makes quite an impression with the contrasting red and navy blue accents. I'm 5'7"with muscular build at 175lbs and found the medium fit like a glove, but opted for the large to have a little more space, esp. for the winter when i wear bulkier shirts under the jacket. If you're slimmer, the medium will probably fit perfect. Love the shorter collar (esp. if you have longer hair) as a nice change from all my other jackets that have taller ones. As with most of their products, has great quality feel to it and amazing attention to detail. My only gripe is with the zipper, which is made of metal with larger spacings between the teeth, and so doesn't glide as smoothly as the ones made of plastic, but that's really nitpicking at this point! ... read more
Purchased this jacket in the lab green, it is so pretty! I love how rich and vibrant the color is. The quality is superb. This jacket has a little weight to it, not thin and flimsy. Im female and purchsaed size small and the fit is perfect. Very happy with this purchase. ... read more
Bought in normal size, XS, and length & fit is fine, though a bit snug when closed. Moreover, I also felt that the sleeves were marginally longer than normal, so that is something to bear in mind. Overall though, a very neat and stylish product. ... read more
I purchased this for my 12 year old son who is tall for his age and wears age 14-15 track tops from sport shops like JD etc, the craze at his school is track tops and he found this online and thought no it would be too big, after reading the reviews i decided to try the the small mens size. when it came it fitted perfect and he loves it, the light blue/dark blue is really smart clean looking and is very good quality and washes good too. And quick delivery....what more can you ask... Really good purchase. ... read more
I bought the purple track jacket to match with the purple superstars I bought. It's such a cute little outfit. I would've liked to have bought other matching colours but the sizes were snapped up quickly! But otherwise, the track jacket is a thicker quality than normal. And the colour is quite bright. The xs fits a female size 8 perfectly. All in all, an awesome purchase! ... read more
What quality! You expect a certain level of professionalism when you come to Adidas because they're a huge brand and with some products they hit just below the bar. However with the Superstar Track Jacket they're shooting bullets out of a knife. It's fit, perfection, length, perfect. Couldn't ask for a better product! ... read more

But haven't worn yet I am waiting in some good top ten shoes to come out, just waiting on you guys to come back as great as you did in the eighties when your top tens etc were a match for the Jordan's. Please make yop tens with suede toe tips and add more color varieties to the beige original ones and bring back the leather ones and patent leather ones with the white stripes and please leave the metal lacing system off its tacky looking !! This is what the fans are looking for please get it right the brand Jordan will have some real competition !! Thanks Adidas forever!!! ... read more

Top 6 Things for Graduates' Families to Do in Annapolis
Posted on: May 15, 2013 08:00 EDT by Naval Academy Public Affairs
Coming to Annapolis for Commissioning Week? There's a lot going on both on and off the Yard.
1. The Naval Academy Visitors Center houses multiple displays as well as information about the historic campus:
- John Paul Jones Exhibit: Learn about America's first naval hero and life aboard ship in the 18th century in this exhibit. Handouts include a John Paul Jones timeline and a kid's activity sheet.
- Historic Navy Flags: This exhibit of American naval flags flown from the American Revolution to present day will hang in the lobby of the Visitor Center through July. Handouts include an exhibit catalog, a list of flag holidays, a flyer on flag facts and information on where to purchase flags.
2. The Naval Academy Museum, located in Preble Hall, is a must for anyone interested in naval history. The museum offers two floors of exhibits about the history of seapower, the development of the U.S. Navy, and the role of the U.S. Naval Academy in producing officers capable of leading America's sailors and Marines.
3. Speaking of history, take a walking tour of Annapolis to commemorate the War of 1812. This self guided tour will acquaint you with many of locations throughout Annapolis and the Naval Academy. Learn how the War of 1812 impacted our country and the development of the U.S. Navy.
4. Also not to be missed is the new exhibit "Sea, Lakes & Bay: The Naval War of 1812" located in Mahan Hall. The exhibit brings together artifacts from the Naval Academy Museum and the collection of Mr. William I. Koch and is only available for a limited time.
5. The bustling Annapolis Harbor lies right outside USNA's Gate 1. With great shopping, restaurants and boat tours, there's something for everyone. And don't forget to cool off with some ice cream!
6. Stop in at the Annapolis Visitors Center at 26 West Street for even more ideas on how to enjoy this great historic city!

It's been said that voice is the original instrument, but it's certainly come a long way since Gregorian chant. From overtone singing with amplified pop rocks to the point where speech and surly snarls become indistinguishable, each of the composers featured on this program have taken the vocal cords to their outer reaches and beyond. If one thing's for sure, it's that this music will leave you speechless.
Tickets are $10, general admission and $5 for Contemporary Museum members and students with a valid ID.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
The inclusion of freeski halfpipe and slopestyle at the Winter Olympics in Sochi was easily one of the most historic moments in freeskiing's relatively short history. Not only was it the chance for freeskiers to represent their country at the highest possible level, it was the opportunity to introduce this unique and thriving sport to the greater mainstream. The high-flying exhilarating action of these events thrilled spectators and media commentators alike and gained countless new international fans in the process, many of which witnessed Atomic Freeski athletes performing at the highest level and stand on podiums as a result.
Canada's Mike Riddle had been dreaming of the day that he could finally drop into the Olympic Halfpipe for many years. When that day finally came, his determination, prowess and sheer precision was a textbook display of Olympic athleticism. The conditions were far from optimal, the pipe was bumpy due to heavy snow fall, which collected in the flat bottom. Many athletes had issues on the sticky and bumpy snow, but thanks to the finely tuned base and park rocker on the Atomic Punx on his feet, as well as his tactical and precise skiing, Mike handled those issues with apparent ease. His run consisted of both a left and a right side double cork 1260 mute grab, a left 900 japan grab, alley-oop 360 bow and arrow grab and finished off with massive switch 720. Large airs and clean landings gave Riddle a score of 90.60 and awarded him with very well deserved Olympic Silver Medal. All the years of preparation paid of and Mike was ecstatic like never before! Jossi Wells also performed exceedingly well, narrowly missing the podium in fourth place with a super styled out run that had many core media commentators calling him the styliest skier at the Olympics.
The slopestyle final on Rosa Khutor was hands down the most spectacular and competitive slopestyle competition the sport of freeskiing has ever witnessed. While the technical rails and gigantic jumps enabled the skiers to display their full arsenal of tricks, they also caused many competitors to fall on the demanding course. In the first run of finals Gus Kenworthy from the USA put together an incredibly difficult array of tricks and only came unstuck on his final jump, a switch triple rodeo 1440, the most dangerous trick attempted that day. On his second run Gus displayed sheer valour and put it all on the table. After a very technical upper rail section Kenworthy sent a massive double cork 1620 tail on the first jump, a switch double rodeo 1080 japan on the second, and stomped the switch triple 1440 japan on the final and largest jump. He was the only skier to even attempt a switch triple and was rewarded accordingly with a score of 93.60 and the Olympic Silver Medal! The huge smile on Gus's face reflected the years of hard work and determination that lead him to this point. Norway's Andreas Håtveit missed out on the podium by just 0.60 points after stringing together a very technical and flawless run, but was still overjoyed by his fourth place.
A relative newcomer to the women's halfpipe scene, Japan's Ayana Onuzuka has gone from strength to strength over the last few season, steadily climbing up the competitive ranks in the lead up to Sochi. Ayana continued her consistency and dominated the pipe with her usual massive amplitude, riding the transition as if she was born in a pipe. She was all style with her first straight air and second alley-oop, she then stomped both way 540s, a smooth 720 and finished off with a very large switch 540. 83.20 was her final score, enough for a well deserved Bronze Medal. Tears of joy could be seen on her cheeks as the reality of her achievement finally settled in.
We want to use this opportunity to congratulate and thank all the Atomic freeski athletes that competed at the Winter Olympic Games; they represented the sport of freeskiing in the best possible way and helped create a large impact on the mainstream's perception and awareness of the sport. Undoubtedly this will help freeskiing's appeal grow even more and it's safe to say that at the next Olympics, freeski halfpipe and slopestyle will yet again be some of the most exciting events to watch.

A Life Update + A Beautiful Video + And A Thank You to You My Friends
Prettiest recipe video of all time. via Making it Lovely.
I'm headed back up to Seattle tomorrow with my lovely boyfriend in his good ol' car. 13 hours of driving...the second big long drive this week. Wish us luck! We were busy busy all this past week with our friends' wedding festivities (it was the most gorgeous wedding I've ever been to... and I forgot to bring my camera. Damn.) I got to meet my boyfriend's best friends from high school which was super rad because we went to the same high school, and he and I and all of his friends knew OF each other back then, but I never met his friends or got to know my boyfriend while we were all in high school together years and years ago. My boyfriend and I were acquaintances through college, but got to know each other after college and immediately started dating. We've been dating for a year and a half now and I love him very much. :) And I LOVE his friends, most of which were at the wedding.
I went to another friend from high school's wedding shower in the past couple of days which was really sweet. And I got to spend time with my parents and sisters and their new doggies. Both of my little sisters got dogs this week and our family home has been packed with animals and fellow animal lovers all week. My family also always has someone needing a place to live at our family home which means I am always accumulating new pseudo brothers. I am so thankful my family is so compassionate and kind to others, especially those who have no where else to go or who need family and guidance. And it has been great getting to know our new friend Justin. Needless to say, this week has been busy and I am wiped out, especially after dancing my booty off last night at the wedding with new friends! It was glorious.
First, in my thanks for the week, I would like to thank my wonderful friends who have been guest blogging for me while I have been traveling and attending wedding celebrations. I really really dig all these ladies and it has been fun getting to introduce them and their blogs to my readers!
And secondly, I would like to thank all of you who left me kind comments on that Urban Outfitters post I wrote (which I immediately took down after reading some nasty comments that some not so gentle hearted people left on my blog.) This is the last time I will speak of it. And I am thankful that many of you understood that I did not intend to sound victimized by Urban Outfitters. I simply wanted to empower the blogging and Etsy community to stand up against big businesses ripping off Etsy artists' work.
As many of my faithful blog followers understand, I am passionate about standing up for the rights of individuals, loving and empowering people in my community and those outside of it, promoting the importance of supporting the handmade artist community and small businesses, and just trying to keep my blog a positive, honest, and loving space filled with kind words. I appreciate all of you who left me kind notes. I am sorry some people took my post the wrong way and left hateful words that I had to delete. And I hope from here on out that my blog can continue to be a space where people share encouraging and uplifting words with one another. No anonymous criticism or hate. No backhanded comments, defensive words, or arguing for wrong or right reasons. Just simply thoughtful and intentional good spirited words shared with one another.
I appreciate you all a lot, and I know that we are all mature enough at any age to be kind to each other. I have experienced plenty of bullying in my life and I understand now as an almost 25 year old woman how to let it roll off my shoulders. I'm a tough cookie. But cyber bullying is never ok on my blog, or anyone's blog. I would NEVER leave you a condescending, critical, mean, or backhanded comment on your blog on purpose. Never. So spread the word to your readers from here on out, we will not accept cyber bullying, and we won't let it hurt us. We will fight hate with love as a community. And we will treat others as we wish to be treated, even those that seek to hurt us. That is the way of a wise and thoughtful person who understands the power of kindness. And I know that my readers are an extremely kind and thoughtful collective of people. I appreciate you.

I love you dearly. That is the truth. <3ReplyDelete
And oh my goodness that video is fantastic.
I was totally enraptured by this video. Damn you find so much better things on Vimeo! I am so glad you enjoyed yourself greatly on your wedding adventures and your friends wrote such wonderful posts. I haven't read your UO post but I am so very surprised that you would receive, from what it seems, such angry backlash - I thought everybody would be on the side of the Etsy people such as yourself. That said I think you are such a pleasant warm person that I can't imagine anyone would have the audacity to leave such ugly comments on your blog.ReplyDelete
Safe driving to Seattle. It's been beautiful weather here. :)ReplyDelete
I'm a new reader but must say, you certainly don't deserve to be bullied or criticized. It's so frustrating that the anonymity of the internet seems to make people so mean.
You're such a positive person I don't understand why anyone would attack you.
have fun on your trip!ReplyDelete
i hate that urban outfitters copied your designs like that... i am and have been for the past 2 years very much supportive of the etsy community, i only ever buy handmade or charity shop things and only shop on the high st for basic things.
noone should have to put up with bullying. I have been cyber bullied and it is sooo not cool. the fact that someone did that to you when you were simply expressing yourself is beyond my understanding.
bullies are cowards. there is a reason those kinds of comments are always anonymous. sad, sad people. and yes, fight back with LOVE. 'cause love rocks!ReplyDelete
so glad you had a good time at the wedding. hope you're having a good road-trip back. xo
I just recently came across you blog. Just wanted to let you know I think it's absolutely beautiful and as far as the Urban things goes, anyone who would defend a multinational company that treats their employees like retail slaves is pretty warped. (I worked for Anthropologie for many years...) lol Anyhow this is getting long but lovely blog and keep on trucking.ReplyDelete
Very cool recipe video...it makes baking so romantic...anywhoo, you rock and I enjoy reading your blog daily..hugs to you !ReplyDelete
you are so so correct moorea. this is why i love reading what you have to say. you come from the same place in your heart i do. open, honest and loving. xo.ReplyDelete
Sounds like a great trip! That's cool that you have such a neat history of friends with your boyfriend...I loved meeting my boyfriend's (now husband) high school friends too. I am with you on the comment thing. I don't understand how people think it's ok to be rude or condescending, but I love how you handle it. You're so honest and sweethearted.ReplyDelete
You should not have to justify yourself and where stand on the UO situation. Reading the comments from anonymous posters bothered me and it seemed like they missed the point. I still love your blog and your work is stunning. Just keep at it. :)ReplyDelete
what a beautiful video!! reminds me of a Donna Hay cookbook that I love :)ReplyDelete
amazing video *___*ReplyDelete
Thank you for helping the Etsy and handmade crafters :D

Wow that video is amazing! :OReplyDelete
That video is stunning!ReplyDelete
The only two issues I have with the UO post you did is first, the fact that when I sent you the link to a blog post I wrote about Stevie/Tru.che's experience you replied that she had gotten excellent promo from the situation.ReplyDelete
Anyone that commented on your UO post that also follows you closely enough on Twitter might have seen that, and the tweet could have set the tone for how they read and understood your post.
I'm not trying to be mean, I promise, only trying to share my perspective. I just want to point out that it is possible that it wasn't JUST the anonymous commentators trying to be jerks. They really could have thought you meant it that way based on that tweet you sent me.
And secondly I'm also shocked/sad/disappointed that you edited your entire post out just because you received a small percent of comments that weren't reaffirming your stance on the situation. Especially because I thought it was a very good post. After reading this post I'm trying to figure out if difference of opinion now equals cyber bullying on this blog. Two of the anonymous comments were definitely not in tactful taste, but one of them I read was simply disagreeing with you, and was later deleted. So I'm not sure I feel comfortable now visiting and commenting on your blog, because what if I don't always agree with you on something in the future? I feel now like I can't express that if it happens and I'll only be accepted my you and your other readers if I agree and always speak rainbows and sunshine dust. So I'm not sure I'll ever comment after this. I'm still trying to decide. But I'm not very keen on continuing to participate in your corner of the internet since I don't feel comfortable. I'm also really sad because I was planning on purchasing your jewelry for all my girlfriends for holiday presents later in the year. Now I just feel uncomfortable.
Again, I'm really not trying to be mean. Just trying to be honest and let you know how I feel.
I definitely agree. Blogs are no place for arguing and criticism - especially the anonymous kind.ReplyDelete
Please be kind with your words. I respect honesty, but threatening, demeaning, or highly aggressive comments will be deleted.
