Supercomputing Our Way to a Clean Energy Future
August 15, 2012
These days supercomputing isn�t just for niche applications like unlocking the secrets of dark matter, finding the Higgs boson particle, or helping us understand nuclear weapons without explosive testing. With recent strides in technology and a number of high-profile success stories, advanced computing technology is catching the attention of major companies looking to lower their research and development costs while producing more efficient and more powerful energy technology.
Recently at the Workshop on the Grand Challenges of Advanced Computing for Energy Innovation near Washington, D.C., computing specialists from the private sector, national laboratories, and academia met to share best practices, discuss trends, and determine the future of supercomputing in energy technology.
Computer-assisted design software took engineers from the drawing board to the keyboard decades ago, but the bulk of variable testing still takes place with prototype models with sensors that generate a great deal of data that requires analysis. But what if engineers could develop a virtual prototype and test it under every conceivable condition on a system-wide basis? With help from the national laboratories, energy technology companies are doing just that, and recent collaborative projects and programs have benefitted both the labs and companies.
At the workshop, truck manufacturer Navistar reported significant advances in improving airflow to its vehicles, which increases fuel efficiency and durability. Instead of using expensive wind tunnel testing, Navistar used modeling and simulation software from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to make improvements for a fraction of traditional research costs. For the complete story, see the Energy Blog.

Transient boating slips at the city of Ogdensburgs St. Lawrence River marina will triple in number if federal funding to pay for their installation is approved.
The city council on Monday voted 6-1 in favor of applying in cooperation with the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation for up to $200,000 from the U.S. Department of the Interior/Fish and Wildlife Services Boating Infrastructure Grant program.
The BIG program covers up to 75 percent of the cost with the rest locally through in-kind services and administrative expenses.
The Greenbelt marina currently has 57 permanent boating slips and seven transient slips.
More transient boater traffic is wanted in order to expand the marina and make Ogdensburgs waterfront a tourism destination point, city officials say.
If we dont have it, theyre not going to come, said City Manager John M. Pinkerton.
The lawmakers decided to switch location from next to the marina to just up river by the boat launch where there is deeper water and less boat traffic.
Mayor William D. Nelson and councilors R. Storm Cilley, Wayne L. Ashley, William D. Hosmer Jennifer Stevenson and Daniel E. Skamperle voted in favor.
Deputy Mayor Michael D. Morley cast the sole opposing vote, saying that the citys private marinas should get the transient boating business.
Its getting too crowded down there, he said of the Greenbelt marina.

BALMAT A Montreal company plans to buy the Balmat zinc mine within 90 days.
Beaufield Resources has signed an exclusivity agreement and a non-binding letter of intent with HudBay Minerals to acquire the mine, which HudBay closed in 2008, for a total of $12 million Canadian and up to $2 million Canadian in equity.
An earlier deal for OMT Inc. and New York Zinc, two other Canadian companies, to acquire the mine is dead.
Hudbay will have no more than a 9.9 percent interest in Beaufield, a mineral exploration company whose activity has been focused in Quebec.
Beaufield intends to seek financing for part of the purchase payment and for the restart of the mine if it proves feasible. A decision to begin production has not been made although the company believes the property offers potential, according to a press release issued by Beaufield.
The Balmat mine is a unique opportunity for Beaufields shareholders. Balmat offers a de-risked project and the possibility to become a revenue generator in a reasonable and controllable time frame, Beaufield President Kevin Weston said in the statement. Although the project was not strategic to Hudbay due to its size, I feel it is an excellent building block for Beaufield to enter the ranks of the producing mining companies.

The Way We Get By
"The Way We Get By" is a deeply moving ?lm about life and how to live it. Beginning as a seemingly idiosyncratic story about troop greeters -- a group of senior citizens who gather daily at a small airport to thank American soldiers departing and returning from Iraq, the ?lm quickly turns into a moving, unsettling and compassionate story about aging, loneliness, war and mortality. Seeking out the telling detail rather than offering sweeping generalizations, the ?lm carefully builds stories of heartbreak and redemption, reminding us how our culture casts our elders, and too often our soldiers, aside. More important, regardless of your politics, "The Way We Get By" celebrates three unsung heroes who share their love with strangers who need and deserve it.

UNITY, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- If you thought your afternoon was hot, imagine what it felt like to run around in a wool coat.
The sheep in the Border Collie Demonstration at the Common Ground Fair in Unity got a break this afternoon.
Their trainer kept running to a minimum and let the sheep rest under tents in the 80 degree heat.
"I'm in the business of raising animals for meat and I have no interest in being hard on the animals," said farmer David Kennard.
If it were a cooler afternoon with more seasonal temperatures, the audience would have seen more action.
But they didn't seem to mind the slower pace.
"Being near the animals and home made stuff is better than rides and stuff," said 12-year-old Corinne Parker.
She was one of the kids in the audience selected to give shepharding a try.
"I think you just have to imagine that you're a dog," she said. "You can actually do it, but it's a lot harder than it looks."

(KSDK Sports) --With his team focusing on finishing the 2012 season with a winning record, talk of "making the playoffs"has pretty much dissipated around Rams Park.
But,still Rams Coach Jeff Fisher acknowledged today, using the logic of the classic comedy "Dumb and Dumber, "there is a chance."
So, just how is it possible that the Rams pull this off? At best the Rams can either be a No. 6 seed, at worst, they're out.
The pressure is on the Rams. They have to win out against the Buccaneers and the Seahawks. One loss to in either week, and they are eliminated. They are also eliminated in any of the following scenarios:
(a) Giants beat either the Ravens or Eagles
(b) Vikings beat either the Texans or Packers
(c) Bears beat either the Cardinals or Lions
(d) Redskins beat the Eagles, plus Cowboys beat the Saints
(e) Redskins beat the Eagles, plus Cowboys beat the Redskins
(f) Cowboys beat the Saints, plus Redskins beat the Cowboys
So because so much of their fate is out of their hands, the Rams must focus on their part - winning out and finishing strong.

Recently updated in a handful of colorsÂ--including some great neutrals and pastels tooÂ--this slim-fit polo shirt is a must-buy for all.
TriÂ-Strap Braided Leather Belt ($195)
Who could resist this smart take on the traditional brown leather belt? Not us! It's perfectly appointed in every way, from the antiqued golden hardware (the oversized o-ring and roller buckle details are so cool) to the three braided straps. Wear it with your favorite summery dress or use it to cinch in a boyfriend-style cardigan, either way it's sure to elevate your whole look!
Fair Isle Long Cardigan ($398)
Ralph Lauren Blue Label's spring collection is simply stuffed with cute clothes galore, but this cardigan is one of the pieces we adore most of all. It's super soft to the touchÂ--the knit is comprised of silk, linen, cotton and cashmereÂ--plus, the custom-designed pattern is truly easy on the eyes. And, if that wasn't enough, we think the mint green, pink, and nude color scheme is oh-so stunning for spring.
Medium Canvas Crested Tote ($275) in Newport Navy
Finding a timeless tote can be tricky for even the most discerning shopper. You want something that can effortlessly accommodate all your necessities, but still small enough to allow for easy rummaging.

The streamlined, tailored skirt will work with so many things in your wardrobe; we have a feeling that once it's on, you won't want to take it off!
Slim-Fit Striped Crew Shirt ($145)
Our final piece in today's Obsession du JourÂ--a crisp button-down shirt in a jaunty blue and white stripeÂ--is a necessity in so many ways. The slim fit is feminine, the crisp cotton and barrel cuffs are a subtle ode to the recent menswear-inspired trends, and the vintage-style crest is simply iconic. Roll up the sleeves and pair it with your favorite slouchy trousers or style it with a body-conscious skirtÂ--however you wear it, this shirt is a sure thing!

The result of years of development, this horn is a modern masterpiece with the feel and tone of the classic PRO-37R Kruspe horns.
The Hans Hoyer 7801 Nickel Double French Horn is tuned in the key of Bb/F double, detachable bell, mechanical linkage. The horn's pre-aged metal produces a startling vintage tone. Kruspe was the inspiration for the famous Conn 8D which helped define the sound of musical greats Vincent De Rosa and Myron Bloom.

Comments about Hans Hoyer 7801 Nickel Double French Horn:
In my experience with french horns (10 years with a travel quartet and 4 years as a band director) I have found this french horn to be a great addition to my array of horns. It has a very thick and rich tone. Thus, it isn't good for some faster/chromatic pieces. It "thickens" up a lot which is a problem on those chromatic runs. But for chorals and slower songs it has a beautiful thick tone that works quite well.

What You Need to Know about the Health Care Law
Are you covered? The Affordable Care Act, otherwise referred to as health care reform, requires those who are uninsured to get health insurance. While the start dates of some key programs have been postponed, enrollment in health insurance programs is expected to begin this fall and several other key provisions of the act are becoming effective in the new year. Here are some insights and advice to help you understand what these changes mean.
Uncertainty Abounds
First, if you're confused about the law and its requirements, you're not alone. A new telephone survey conducted for the American Institute of CPAs by Harris Interactive survey found limited knowledge of the healthcare law and its implications. Forty-one percent said they are not at all knowledgeable about the law and another 48% said they were only somewhat knowledgeable. Young people were the least knowledgeable, with nearly half of adults aged 18 to 34 saying they had no knowledge. When it came to knowledge of some of the law's key provisions, only 69% knew that it required uninsured people to get health insurance and just 51% realized that a health insurance exchange would be available in their stat, according to a recent USA Today/Pew poll.
The Marketplace Opens
What provisions should you focus on right now? Beginning next year, the newly created Health Insurance Marketplace will provide coverage choices for those who don't have insurance and those who have it but are interested in exploring other, potentially lower-cost options. Consumers in every state can set up an account, file an application and learn if they're eligible for lower-cost premiums or out-of-pocket costs. The plans are offered by private insurers and they cover a set of essential health benefits defined by the law. The Marketplace plans must accept those with pre-existing conditions and cover those conditions. They also can't charge different prices based on gender.
Key Marketplace Dates
Open enrollment in the Marketplace was set to begin October 1, and coverage can start as early as January 1, 2014. Most employers were required to notify employees of their Health Insurance Marketplace options by October 1. Open enrollment closes on March 31, 2014, and will not open again until October 2014. It's only possible to enroll outside of open enrollment if you have a qualifying life event, such as a marriage, divorce or new baby, certain changes in income or a move to another state.
Coverage Available Now
Those who need insurance before January 1 can turn to the government's Plan Finder website for help in locating private insurance plans. Be aware, though, that since many of the law's provisions aren't yet in effect, consumers may not receive the protections that will be available through the Marketplace, including lower premiums based on income and coverage for pre-existing conditions.
Small Business SHOP Marketplace
If you work for or run a small business, you should be aware of the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP), a separate marketplace for companies with 50 or fewer full-time employees. Online enrollment for qualifying companies to use the SHOP Marketplace was set to begin October 1, but in late September the Obama administration announced that company owners who want to enroll now would have to mail or fax in their information at least until November 1. Coverage can begin as early as January 1. Once a company selects a plan, employees can sign up online through the SHOP Marketplace. Companies that purchase coverage in 2014 through the SHOP Marketplace may be able to take advantage of a small business health care tax credit of up to 50% of premium costs. If you have questions about whether your company qualifies, be sure to consult your CPA. Note: If you're self-employed without any employees, then you would use the individual Health Insurance Marketplace, not SHOP.
Health care and the cost of health insurance coverage are critical issues for consumers and businesses. For understandable answers and advice, be sure to turn to your local financial professional, like a CPA. He or she has the expertise to answer all your most complicated financial questions.

Feeling like something sweet but satiating? Start with a pair of bow-bedecked blush-colored Preen Roll Shorts ($888) perfect for when the day calls for some Olivia Palermo-type polish.

Thank You John Hollinger
"Yes, there were some setbacks along the way. Scores of straw men suffered savage beatings in the name of analytics, under the mistaken premise that it was supposed to replace everything that came before it.
Eventually, however, the best information wins. And ultimately, analytics is about providing more and better information to supplement what is already available. Steadily, that realization has taken hold. Not only is it now acceptable to mention things like true shooting percentage in polite conversation, but there's also been a real quantum shift in front offices like the one I'm about to join."
Tommy DeeIf you've been here since 2008, you know how we feel about hyper-metrics. If you haven't, here it is in a nutshell. Information in all forms is important to making a final decision whether it be a transaction or part of a game plan adjustment or implementing a business partnership. There are bits of information that decision makers listen to, and such that gets tossed away immediately. It's a collaboration leading to a hopeful improvement. What John Hollinger did for the world of writing was open doors and build a much bigger conversation about basketball. He's a visionary and visionaries have to have guts.
John and I have never met and I'm sure if he's ever read anything I've written or tweeted he would hopefully think that I view the game as a coach/scout. That's the foundation of the platform and that's Xs and Os and years of knowing the game from several layers and viewpoints. The fact is I'm not anti numbers, but I am critical of numbers for the sake of content, which is a negative to Hollinger's greatness. It's called paralysis by analysis and it's not a niche. Too many people overcomplicate it because they think they can. In my opinion those people insult the game.
I'm critical of some metrics, not because I don't understand them, something that I've been accused of and something I take very personally, but because I need to see someone integrate them into a practical solution. I'd like to hear a player say "that makes sense and I will apply that in the flow of the game." It's easy to sit in a press box and talk about formulas about how a player should be playing more minutes or look for a shot from a place that they have an awesome TSS%. It's quite another to teach and train an athlete to perform at a high speed and think about executing.
The game is more music than sport in my opinion. It's more about preparation, discipline and executing within a rhythm moreso than a calculator. Look at the impact Jason Kidd has had. I got laughed at for loving the Kidd addition while people pointed to his numbers. The fact is playing him at the two limits the Knicks' ability to slash, but it also provides discipline and that discipline leads to minimal turnovers. That has led to offensive production and that production is the main reason the team is winning. No one can tell me that Kidd's addition isn't THE biggest difference between this year and last. And there's no formula that can produce a "winning player". No one can tell me that having a dominant elbow post player who can shoot and drive to the rim like Carmelo Anthony isn't the greatest offensive weapon in basketball. And I wrote my graduate school thesis, 50 something pages, on the point guard position.
I believe basketball is more rhythmic than anything because of the players, coaches and executives that I've talked to. Until you learn to speak about the game played at the highest SPEED you ever played or a person you talk to has ever played, it's hard to truly understand the concept of NBA rhythm from what I've been told. Think of it as trying to think about ANYTHING while jogging on a highway. Or think back to your high school years or tryouts. Remember playing the team that just played faster than you? I suggest talking to someone who has played or coached in an environment like Cameron Indoor.
Hollinger and I connected through a close friend of mine back in September of 2005. It was an email where I asked him for advice and he was very generous with his time and information. Find your niche he told me, and respect the game. I'd like to think our niche here is one of tremendous optimism in the face of what most recently was a very negative topic of conversation, at least from those who covered the team. We've battled, we've demanded to know the reasons for the negativity in coverage, and we've given advice and support to passionate fans with awesome platforms as well. Again, like analytics, information in all forms is important including sound advice, which I've tried to provide when directly asked via email or face to face.
Hollinger is now breaking down another barrier as he moves on to work for an NBA franchise. I wish him the best of luck and I'd like to thank him for being a visionary and not being afraid to follow and defend what he believed in. Basketball is something that can be talked about from many different view points and thanks to Hollinger analytics is now firmly one of them.

By TERRY WILLISSports reporter
On June 13, the Castle Valley Barracudas swim team traveled to Emery to compete against the San Rafael Stingrays. The Barracudas took 18 girls and only one boy against the Stingray's 25 girls and 20 boys. That led to a great match up for the girls and a blow out for the boys. Barracuda girls came out with a win, out scoring the Stingrays 1296 to 854. The Barracudas single boy finished both his races in first scoring 40 points.
Addy Olsen ruled the nine to ten age group finishing first in all four of her events free, back, breast, and IM. Grace Mantz placed first in fly, second in back and free. She took third in breast. Abigail Krum placed third in the fly, back and fourth in the breast and fifth in the free. Veronica Ibanez placed third in the free, second in the fly, fourth in back, and eighth in breast. Eliza Krum placed sixth in free, fourth in fly, and seventh in breast. Oliva Black, swimming in her first meet, placed ninth in free and tenth in back, Taycie Davis placed 13 in free, fifth in fly, and 12 in back. Lexi Garcie also swimming in her first meet placed 14 in her free and sixth in fly.
For the 11 to 12 age group, Ali Heath finished first in free, back, and breast, and second in fly. Danni Noyes showed great improvement as he finished second in free and first in fly. Dakota Noyes placed third in free and breast with best times in both events. Heidi Prettyman placed first in IM, second in breast, fourth in free, back and third in fly.
In the 13 to 14 age group, Jill Malone beat her best time and finished first in the free, fly, IM and back. She came in second in the breast. Joset Wells placed first in the breast, second in the fly, and IM, She was fourth in the free. Sarah Barnett, swimming in her first meet, placed fourth in the back.
The only boy, Lance Riche, blew his competition away, placing first in free, beating the next competitor by 23 seconds. He also took first in back while beating his competitors by 24 seconds which is the full length of the pool, because they were only swimming four lengths of the pool in the race.
In the 15 to 18 division, Megan Barnett placed first in free. She also placed second in fly and IM. Aysha Black placed first in fly, IM, second in free and breast. Kenzie Mantz placed first in breast, and third in free. Christi Wells placed third in fly, and breast, and fourth in free.
Coach Kamera Davis summed up the event, "This meet was a lot of fun. Our kids swam great. Its nice to have another team close by to compete with. Our next home meet will be July 11 against the Vernal Vipers and Delta DAYO. Come check out the fun!" he said.

Picture Gallery, Buckingham Palace
Pieter de Hooch (Rotterdam 1629-Amsterdam 1684)
A Courtyard in Delft at Evening: a Woman Spinning c. 1656
A Courtyard in Delft, acquired by George IV in 1829, is one of de Hooch's earliest treatments of the theme, dating from c.1657-8. It is also one of the most atmospheric in the portrayal of the shadows filling the foreground. Thus, de Hooch contrasts the seated figure seen in shadow with the standing figure who is walking from the sunlight into shadow. On the vertical axis there is a similar shift from the bright blue sky overhead to the darker tones in the lower half.
The viewer is invited to enter what is essentially a private world. Both women are preoccupied by their simple domestic tasks. Even so, this private space partakes of a more public context. On the right beyond the house can be seen two towers: the taller one that of the Nieuwe Kerk, where William the Silent, the founder of the Dutch Republic, is buried, and the smaller one that of the Stadthuis. Another important feature of A courtyard in Delft is the close observation of the buildings, both as regards the materials from which they are constructed and the tonal relationships (especially the reds) of their silhouetted forms. Most convincing is the patchy distribution of the whitewash on the brick and the different types of mortar and pointing seen in a varying light. The gabled house flanking the tower of the Nieuwe Kerk can be made out in other courtyard paintings by de Hooch, adding to the sense that the artist devised his compositions within a tightly knit area that he knew intimately.

American Idol: Top 7 Perform
Tonight's theme is songs from the movies, so we have Quentin Tarantino. Come on! That's pretty awesome in a completely inappropriate way. As my boyfriend said when I turned it on, "I wasn't going to watch this, but it's Quention Tarantino!" It may not seem as though he fits on this show, but as pop culture-obsessed as he is, it's only fitting that he'd be completely in love with this show (because you know he totally is).
This week is weird. Because the judges couldn't shut their mouths last week (and it wasn't just the girls, as Simon accused) and they went so over their time, only two judges are critiquing each contestant. What this means is that Simon won't be critiquing every contestant, which sucks, because come on. As much as I don't want to feed his ego any more, Simon's critique is the one that matters the most, because if you strip away his crap, he gives solid advice 9 out of 10 times -- which is at least 6 times more than any of the other judges. Real talk.
American Idol: Results Show (1 of 8 goes home)
Alright, results show: I haven't watched the episode yet; it just started and I have it on pause so I can make my predictions. I think the bottom three is going to be Anoop, Lil Rounds and Scott. Lil Rounds will go home. Anything else would officially shock me, but I love being shocked, so here's hoping.
We're still on the whole "year of their birth" thing, so Ryan makes a big deal about how old Simon is by showing a clip of Frankie Avalon singing in the year he was born. Then the stage opens, and Frankie Avalon himself comes out and sings. Simon looks completely surprised and amused. It's actually a really cute moment, and Frankie sounds great.
Enough of that, though; I want to find out who's going home! So let's get on with it. We've got 50 minutes of filler left before we get our answers.
American Idol: Top 8 Perform
It feels like forever since I've written about American Idol, so I'm more than ready to get back into the swing of things. I'm digging this week's theme: Songs from the year you were born. Even better are all of the baby pictures they're showing. The photos of Simon with his ray gun and Ryan with his buck teeth are absolutely precious.
I also appreciate the fact that they finally cleared up Lil Rounds' name. Her name actually is Lil, and it does not stand for "Little," as Simon asserted the other week.
Overall, it's a strong week for the contestants, with only a few notable exceptions. It's such a good week, in fact, that one of the contestants whom I've been very vocal about not liking in the least totally impressed me. The world has turned upside down.
American Idol: Results Show (1 of 9 goes home)
Well, most of you correctly predicted who would go home on American Idol this week. A whopping 1183 votes for the predicted loser were logged in our poll!
But before we got to find out who it was for real, a whole bunch of other stuff happened, starting with Kara saying she appreciates the audience and their passion for the Idols. That was in reference to the heckling she got last night.
And Paula tried to redeem herself by saying that while she put the spotlight on Adam Lambert (you know, that Mick Jagger/Steven Tyler comment), she knows that all of the Idols have something special. Alrighty then.
American Idol: Top 9 Perform
Then Ryan descends from a big long stairway on the stage, like he's some old-time movie star or something. It's a little weird and cheesy, but also kind of fun. The theme this week is wide open, with the contestants choosing any song that's a popular download on iTunes. Let's get to it.
Anoop Desai started things off with Usher's "Caught Up." He cranked the pop factor up a few notches and showed that he's got the chops to switch it up a bit. Randy's a little torn and doesn't like the song choice. Kara thinks it's like a bunch of "frat guys dared you to get up and do Usher." Paula loves his more playful side, but says Anoop's stage presence needs a little work. Simon thinks it's "a complete and utter mess," saying, "It actually gave me a headache."
American Idol: 1 of 10 goes home
This being the results show of Motown Night, the Idols sang a montage of Motown hits against a backdrop of classic Motown stars. Very nice. I also liked the Ford commercial, with the contestants putting together giant puzzle pieces while singing "Take Me Away." They look like they're having a blast.
Then the Velvet Teddy Bear Ruben Studdard sang a tune, and Ryan mentions that he was recently married. Congrats to Ruben!
And then the countdown begins with Adam Lambert up first. I can't imagine that he'd be going home, and sure enough, he's safe. With his ability to show such vastly different sides of his artistic talent, Adam has launched himself straight to the top of my favorites list.
American Idol: Top 10 perform
It's Motown week, and I'm scared. Motown has so many songs that these people should never touch, so it's really just setting them up for failure. For the most part, however, they do a pretty good job with it. But I wasn't wrong about things getting weird: Toward the end of the episode, Simon flat out takes a Sharpie and draws a mustache on Paula's face.
As another bonus for me, I'm watching this with a friend who hasn't seen a single episode this season, so I get to put my preconceived notions against her fresh eyes.
American Idol: Top 11 Elimination Results
I'm pretty sure I've mentioned before that it's been a couple of years since I've seriously watched American Idol. I've caught episodes here and there, but haven't sat down with a full season in a while. I bring this up because I'm not sure if it's just that I've been away from it a while or if this year's group of finalists is especially good. We're still not even to the Top 10, and no one's performance was a complete disaster. Sure, I had my favorites, but nobody embarrassed themselves, which seems new to me.
What I love/hate about the results show is how, even if the contestants manage to get through the performance show embarrassment-free, that inevitably comes to an end the next night. Between the Ford commercial and the group sing, I have never watched a results show without spending a good portion cringing.
Speaking of cringing, tonight's result is kind of surprising, and I think it's going to polarize a lot of people. Someone who I thought would make it pretty far in the competition got the lowest number of votes. But does that mean he or she is going home?
American Idol: Top 11 Perform
Michael Sarver sang "Ain't Goin' Down Til the Sun Comes Up." He did a pretty good job with it, other than flubbing the lyrics a little in the middle. Randy Jackson liked the song, but wasn't sure about the vocals. Kara thought it was fun, but she missed the big notes. Paula thought the genre suited him, and Simon said it was clumsy and he couldn't understand the words. On a scale of 1 to 10, he'd give it 1.2. Really? It didn't seem that bad to me.
American Idol: Top 13 elimination results
I'm pretty happy with the results tonight. I feel like America and the judges made the right call. And it isn't just up to America anymore. As Seacrest told us, there's a new American Idol rule. When someone is eliminated by America's vote, the judges have the ability to keep the person in the competition. It's designed to be used when America goes insane and votes people like LaToya London and Chris Daughtry off, people who deserve to stay in the competition. As I understand it, this option can only be used one time. Thankfully, the judges didn't use it tonight.
We also got to see the cool new digs where the Idols are staying. It's a ginormous mansion, complete with a swimming pool (or two), basketball court, bowling alley, hot tubs, the whole shebang. Looks like a very cool place to de-stress after being called to center stage to await your fate.
American Idol: Top 13 perform
The audience is completely psyched, but Simon quickly brings everyone down in that special way of his by announcing that tomorrow's show is going to be double-elimination. This makes sense, since we have the same number of episodes to find this year's Idol, but we have one extra contestant.
My favorite thing about this episode is that the theme is the music of Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson, as you may recall, is one of those artists that the judges have said should just never be touched. So despite the fact that they have told Kris Allen, among others, that they should not sing Michael Jackson songs, we have an entire night devoted to just that. Sounds like a good idea to me!
American Idol: 3 of second 12 go through
But before we got to learn which three went through, the producers tortured us with yet another group number, with the Idols awkwardly dancing and singing Neo's "Closer." I'm not a big fan of the group numbers, and the singers don't look like they're having that much fun either.
American Idol: Second 12 of 36 Compete
They've already chosen their songs, which is one of the most important, if not the most important factor in how well they'll do tonight. All you can really tell them at this point is "don't suck." Let's see how many of this twelve actually don't suck-- I'm sincerely hoping it will be more than last week, because if not, it's going to be a long two hours.

|Homeless Education
Before passage of the landmark McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act by the U.S. Congress in 1987, more than half of homeless children did not go to school on a regular basis. To see that all children were provided equal access to a free and appropriate education, the McKinney-Vento legislation was enacted that established a federal definition of a "homeless" individual and set out a number of mandates as follows:
Just as the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 made substantial changes to the general K-12 education landscape in the United States, so did it modify the McKinney-Vento legislation, which was reauthorized in sections 1031-1034 of the act. Among the significant changes, the new language:
Homeless children generally face obvious hardship frequent mobility, poor nutrition, substandard living conditions, emotional stress and lack of access to health care in their lives away from school, resulting in unique and sometimes significant academic, health, developmental, psychological and emotional problems in the education setting. While these challenges are not insurmountable, state policymakers must be aware of the singular obstacles faced by this sector of the student population and strive to ensure these children receive a quality educational experience in a secure environment to mitigate, and potentially even overcome, the damage done by homelessness.
