The Carbon High girls soccer team labored through the Labor Day weekend with a pair of losses. The Dinos lost 5-0 to Desert Hills on Friday before heading to Hurricane and taking an 8-1 defeat. Carbon followed up this week with an 9-0 loss to St .Joseph in Ogden on Tuesday.
Coach Jerad Upwall was happy with the effort, especially in game one against Desert Hills. "We held them to only two goals most of the game. Our bench is not deep and the weather was scorching and we wilted in the end. But the play they exhibited told me we can hold our own against the teams in our region."
On Saturday the team had not recovered and played against Hurricane. Hurricane had placed second in state last season and had most of that powerful team back. Felicia Olmos was able to score against them in the second period to avoid the shutout.
"We just couldn't compete. They are a bigger, stronger team and we left in on the field the day before. Back to back games just kill us. We don't have the bench to keep fresh. Several of the girls had heat problems both days," summed up Upwall.
The tough pre-season schedule didn't let up as the Dinos took on the top ranked 2A team of St. Josephs in Ogden on Tuesday afternoon. The Carbon offense was again shut down by the stronger team. It didn't help that three starters for the Dinos sat out with injuries. Leading Dino scorer Olmos, Hanna Downard and Jazmin Moncada were not available to help the Dino squad. A balance scoring attack by St. Joseph came at the Dinos all afternoon and the squad suffered another loss.
Coach Upwall admits to this being a grueling pre-season line up for the team, but he feels like the experienced gained has been enormous. "I don't care if we lose by 20, the experience of playing the toughest teams we can find is invaluable."
He is optimistic about his team's chances in region play. "I see three qualities about this team that is giving me hope." He went on to say that it is the team's positioning on defense; their passing as a team; and their communication that make them contenders. He has watched his squad grow in leaps and bounds since the beginning of the season, especially on defense.
The biggest weakness remains the team's lack of depth to their bench. But the good news is three more joined the JV squad last week and now he does not have to play any varsity in the JV games, keeping their legs fresh for the varsity games. Twenty-seven girls now make up the total soccer roster.
One more road game with Uintah on Thursday will wrap up the pre-season for the Dinos. They will begin region play against North Sanpete here at home on Wednesday, Sept. 10.

The Cowboys (13-10 overall, 9-2 in the Southland) won their sixth in a row since falling 64-61 on Jan. 21 to Northwestern at home. The Demons (14-12, 7-5) dropped their third in a row after a five-game winning streak that began with the last-second triumph at McNeese.
Dontae Cannon added 17 points while Rudy Turner posted 10 points and a game-best 12 rebounds. McNeese shot 46 percent overall as Northwestern made only 33 percent of its shots.
Shamir Davis, making 7 of 9 free throws, topped NSU with 13 points while Louis Ellis scored 10.
NSU senior center William Mosley blocked three shots and moved into the NCAA career top 10 in that category. He passed New Orleans Hornets' center Emeka Okafor, who had 441 at Connecticut from 2001-04; Deng Gai of Fairfield, who had 442 from 2000-05; and tied Shawn James, who swatted 443 while playing for both Northeastern and Duquesne in a career that ended in 2008. Mosley is one block away from tying Ohio State's Ken Johnson, who finished his career with 444 in 2001, and needs 10 to move into fifth place all-time, matching Georgetown great Alonzo Mourning's 453 from 1987-92.
The Cowboys never trailed, leading 33-25 at halftime and scoring the first six points of the second half to create a double-digit advantage they maintained until the final half-minute. The Demons fell behind by as many as 22 points at 60-38 with 7:02 to go.
"First, McNeese played very well," said Demons' coach Mike McConathy. "They have the same kind of swagger and flow that we had just over a week ago. They are playing smart, tough basketball. We're trying real hard, but we're in a rough patch. I was proud of how we battled to stay in it tonight."
The Demons are off until a BracketBusters game at 2:30 Saturday afternoon in Prather Coliseum against Campbell. NSU's next conference game is at home Feb. 22 against Sam Houston State.

Celestial Birthing Grounds: Wild Places
A mammoth sky survey led by University of Florida astronomers has uncovered seven planet-forming disks in clusters of young stars, doubling the number of such disks discovered and expanding the territory that might yield new planets.
The disks, composed of giant clouds of gas and dust that surround infant stars, are around 1,000 light years away, about four times farther away than most disks seen previously. They also are by far the biggest yet observed – which suggests that planets, known to coalesce in such disks as they rotate, may exist at much greater distances from stars than any yet discovered. This observation could lead astronomers to expand the areas in which they search for new planets, a search that has so far been confined to stars' immediate vicinities.

"You might be able to look much farther out than people have been looking and find planets," said Richard Elston, a UF professor of astronomy who conducted the survey with his colleague and wife, UF astronomy Professor Elizabeth Lada. Elston and Lada presented their findings during a news conference at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Nashville, Tenn.
Fast Formation
Lada also showed that planets may come together and form in the disks in far less time than currently believed. Her findings suggest planets may form in the first 3 million years of a star's life, much earlier than the 10-12 million years thought previously. Although 3 million years may seem like a long time, it is actually brief for stars, which can live tens of billions of years. "If you think of our Sun as a middle-age star and that middle-age people are about 36, it would seem planet formation occurs within 1 week of stellar birth," Lada said.
As a cloud of molecular gas collapses under the pull of gravity to form a star, it rotates and the dust, gas and debris gradually gel in the shape of a two-dimensional disk. The material in these disks both feeds into the forming star and steadily coagulates into bigger and bigger chunks, which eventually form planets. The remnants of this process are visible in our own solar system, where all the planets line up, more or less, along the same two-dimensional plane.
|Our Milky Way galaxy is packed with 400 billion stars and perhaps even more planets.

Elston and Lada found seven such disks as part of a major survey for newborn celestial objects in "giant molecular clouds" in the constellations Orion and Perseus. These clouds, which contain the raw material for stars and planets, are the largest features of our galaxy, stretching hundreds of light years across. The clouds in this study are located approximately 1,000 light years away.
The astronomers worked at the National Science Foundation's 2-meter, or 88-inch, telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, using a UF-developed near-infrared spectrometer and imager. The Florida Multi-object Imaging Grism Spectrometer, or FLAMINGOS, can image tens of thousands of stars in a cloud in the near-infrared each night – many more than could have been examined without the instrument. Such observations must be made in the near-infrared because visible light from young stars is nearly completely absorbed by dust in the molecular clouds, rendering the forming stars invisible to the human eye.
|By combining the high sensitivity of space telescopes with the sharply detailed pictures from an interferometer, TPF will be able to reduce the glare of parent stars to see planetary systems as far away as 50 light years.

Computers can encode the infrared light in optical wavelengths, creating visible images. Most of these "snapshots" revealed only mature stars, and the resulting images appear similar to the sky on a clear night. However, the survey also revealed in several positions, in Elston's words, "wild places" – startling clusters of infant stars in varied stages of formation. These stars appear in the image as colorful balls of light, with each of the seven disks resembling a dark swath surrounding each star.
Due to the blinding glare created by forming stars, such disks are not normally detectable from Earth. However, when the disk lies between Earth and a star, it masks some of the light from the star. When rendered as visible images, such nearly "edge on" disks resemble a pair of butterfly wings with a dark lane down the middle and are often called "silhouette disks."
Astronomers used to think that stars formed in relative isolation. But over the past two decades, research by Lada and others has shown that stars usually form in clusters – celestial birthing grounds. Lada and her colleagues have shown that the majority of stars in such clusters are formed with circumstellar disks. So while it wasn't unusual to find the disks, the surprise was that they ranged in size from 10 to 100 times larger than any of the handful of similar disks yet seen and imaged – with each disk stretching thousands of astronomical units in diameter.
One astronomical unit, the distance from the sun to Earth, measures 93 million miles. The diameter of our solar system is approximately 60 astronomical units. The fact that these disks extend many times farther than that suggests that planets, too, could extend well beyond the relatively close proximity observed in our solar system and elsewhere. That would be good news for astronomers, because the further planets are from stars, the easier they are to detect, Elston said.
What's Next
For most planet finders, the real challenge is to identify faint planets in the glare of their much brighter parent stars. To overcome the distortion of how our own atmosphere may further obscure this detection, both large land-based telescopes and space missions will likely combine in the future to complete the picture.
Both NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) propose space missions to look for Earth-like planets in the infrared. NASA is developing the Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) project, part of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Navigator Program, and ESA is developing its DARWIN project. The European Southern Observatory is exploring the possibility of ground-based searches using the future Overwhelmingly Large Telescope (OWL) project.

Hilarious RPG Version of HBO's Game of Thrones
While I'm not sure it captures the drama and epic scale of the HBO series, CollegeHumor.com has created a video that provide a hilarious tongue-in-cheek version of the first season of Game of Thrones in the form of an old school RPG.
There's something brilliant about the translation to an 8-bit RPG here – lines like "A wild BRAN spotted your incest…" are written exactly the way you would expect from a game like Final Fantasy, even if FF wasn't generally referring to sleeping with your siblings. When I see something like this I always want to go play ChronoTrigger or one of its brethren.
Whether or not you get wistful for some good old school RPGs, check out the video after the jump for a couple of laughs.
[There are a few plot spoilers in here. You've been warned.]

Frum labels a moon colony a colossal waste of resources:
Most of the research purpose of sending human beings into space is to test the effects of sending human beings into space. The missions exist to test whether the missions can continue. This seems the very definition of futility.
Tim Cavanaugh skips past the moon and considers colonization of Mars. He argues that humans will have to undergo major genetic engineering if they are going to survive such a trip:
"Terraforming" remains a popular concept in science fiction, where other worlds usually come with pressurized, breathable atmospheres and so many "desert planets" and "ice planets" have weather suspiciously close to that of Terran countries with low film production costs. In reality it's not easy to effect climate change even on Earth, and settlers on an alien body will need to adapt themselves to the planet before they can adapt the planet to themselves.
(Kaczynski's tweet links to a newspaper article from 1997)

Are you you looking for a new foundation for Fall? If you have combination to dry skin check out MAC Mineralize Moisture Foundation. Sorry oily skintypes you will have to wait on an upcoming foundation post for you.
Released earlier this year in March, MAC Mineralize Moisture Foundation has become my favourite. As it has been Summer I tend to wear less foundation however on those occasions where a gal needs a little help in faking flawless looking skin this is the winner!
The best part is it doesn't feel like a heavy mask of foundation, very natural looking! Coverage is workable as you can go from sheer to medium coverage. I either apply this with my fingers or my beauty blender sponge. For a medium coverage use a foundation brush.
Available in 18 shades: my shade is NC 30
The feel and texture reminds me of Chanel Vitalumiere, dewy but not oily.
Also, have to add that I love the bottle design: pump, clicks close & open, and travel friendly.
retails $41 cdn
available online or at MAC counters

Most people know Top Gear as
a mean-spirited documentary series about how long it'll take three idiots to die if given unlimited access to high-speed vehicles Earth's greatest car show, but Top Gear also puts out an excellent magazine containing some of the best automotive photography…in the world.
In fact, they've just released a gorgeous, half-inch thick softcover tome that consists of the best photos they snapped last year. It's called Top Gear Portfolio 2012, and it only comes with two problems: 1) it costs $19.99, and 2) the pictures have a big crease down the center.
Mitigating both problems is this selection of high-resolution wallpaper images from the Top Gear website, which are both free and blessedly seamless. That said, it is only 10 pictures, so you still have a good hundred more reasons inside the Portfolio to buy it. Yeah, it's expensive, but how else can Clarkson afford the payments on his four-axle Rascal? [via Top Gear]

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1970 Chrysler 300 convertible
This 1970 Chrysler 300 convertible for sale on Hemmings.com doesn't look too bad on the outside – it could certainly use some attention here and there to freshen things up – but it's reportedly rust-free and in excellent mechanical shape, which should be enough to interest anybody who prefers driving their collector cars over parking them. From the seller's description:
This is a very clean, driver-quality Chrysler 300 convertible with 81,200 actual miles. Production numbers for this 300 were very low (only 1,077 convertibles), making this a very rare car today.
The interior is completely original and in great condition. Features include power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, cruise control, power top and hide-a-way headlights. Each works perfectly. It has a center console and floor shifter, a rarely seen option, as opposed to the less desirable column shifter. All gauges are clear and also work perfectly. The entire dash is clean, with no dash cracks to speak of. Seating is in great condition, although the driver's side head rest does have a tear as shown. This 300 retains its original AM/FM stereo with factory in-dash 8-track player. The black power top is brand new and works like the day it left the factory.
The engine and mechanicals of this car are incredible and the selling point of this classic. The previous owner made the mechanicals and upkeep of this car a high priority. It had regular tune-ups; brakes and tires are new; oil was changed every 3,000 miles like clockwork. All safety features work as they should. The engine starts instantly every time. She drives as good as any classic you've ever driven, regardless of price. Yes, we just said that…. Step on the gas and feel the instant response of the 440-cu.in. engine pushing 375hp. Floor it and the passing gear kicks-in beautifully with plenty of power and torque. She stops easily, with no pulling when stopping or driving. The Chrysler TorqueFlite transmission is one of the best transmissions ever made, and this one is no exception. As far as the engine, drivetrain and the mechanicals of this car, they are nothing short of exceptional, and you will be impressed.
Although the condition of the exterior is FAR from bad, it is the weakest point of this classic. The paint shines beautifully over a completely rust-free body, but the quality of the repaint will not win any awards. The passenger's-side door and quarter panel are a bit wavy, but can easily be repaired by a qualified body man. The bumpers are original and have some hazing, but overall, are in good condition. The rubber is new and the trim is in very good condition. The car is a perfect "5-to-10 footer," meaning it looks perfect from 5 to 10 feet away, but closer examination reveals some flaws; but again, No Rust means anything can be repaired or refinished. With a little TLC, this car could be something special someday. The "300" name has significant history to it. Production was low, and the car has a sleek, classic, desirable look to it. It's priced to sell well below NADA values, and will definitely turn heads as-is. You can enjoy it as-is and drive it everywhere or take it to the next level without much effort and excessive $$$s. As always, we have listed this car honestly in pointing out its flaws, but please make no mistake, this car is FAR from a project car. This #3 car has eye appeal from every angle, is extremely reliable, safe, comfortable and powerful. It is 100% roadworthy in every respect.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1967 AMC Rebel SST
If it's not a Machine, many people – even AMCers – tend to overlook the mid-size Rebel, particularly if it has a straight six, as is the case with this 1967 AMC Rebel SST for sale on Hemmings.com. Yet this car offers two things the Machine doesn't: a droptop and 25 MPG fuel economy. From the seller's description:
Rare car (1 of only 1,686 Rebel convertibles made in 1967). 232 Torque Command inline xix. Automatic on the coulmn. Red with white top, and red & white interior. Power convertible top, power steering, manual drum brakes. Has an aftermarket (modern) radio/CD mounted under the dash, with the original AM radio still in the dash where it's supposed to be. Fortunately they didn't chop up and destroy the dash to mount the newer radio.
Runs strong. Shifts nicely. These AMC inline sixes are strong, durable engines. I bought this car last spring and drove it home the 250 miles with no problems at all, and it got 23 mpg to boot. I haven't had it long, but I've enjoyed cruising with it and showing it a few times. It gets a lot of attention at the car shows. It's not just another Ford/Dodge/Chevy. I was told it has 78,000 original miles, but I don't have the documentation to prove it. Very solid car, with no rust. Underneath is clean and solid.
Older restoration (was restored sometime in the mid-90's). It got bodywork, new paint, newly upholstered interior, and rebuilt engine and trans at that time. It still looks great, but it's obvious that the restoration it went through wasn't a concours restoration. Interior is still gorgeous. Top and boot are very nice. The exterior is what I would call a typical 20-footer. Looks awesome from 20 feet, but upon closer inspection you can see some flaws: Chips in the paint here and there. some dings, the bodywork wasn't perfect, the chrome has some flaws, etc. Certainly not a 100-point show car, but overall it's a good looking, very good running/driving cruiser that you just won't see another one of very often, if at all. Clear, open Wisconsin title.

Regent Sounds – The Most Historic Shop on Denmark Street
Under new ownership since 2010 this newly refurbished guitar shop has a loyal and varied customer base and its rich musical history makes it a key London destination for many visitors.
Denmark Street appears on surveys from the 1730s. The area around it was a large rookery, a slum that had developed in the 17th century. This had been cleared by the end of the 19th century, but Denmark Street was one of the few roads in London to keep 17th century terraced facades on both sides.
The street first became associated with music in the late 1900s, when music shops that had thrived on Charing Cross Road moved to Denmark Street because of the substantially cheaper rents. Its location on the fringes of Soho, just a stone's throw away from the West End theatres, meant it soon became a locus for sheet music publishers who sold their work to orchestras and musicians who worked nearby. They were followed by managers and promoters, and this put virtually everything concerning the music business on one small street. With so many musicians in the area and its similarity to the area around the Brill Building in New York, the nickname Tin Pan Alley soon became commonplace.
In the 50s, independent studios were virtually unheard of. Recording studios belonged to record companies and men in white coats would operate the machinery. So when Ralph Elman opened Regent Sound Studio – largely as a studio for acetates – at no.4 Denmark Street with several others following suit, music was placed back in the hands of musicians. This power shift signified huge changes in the music industry and proved a catalyst for the evolution of Rock and Roll.
In 1961 Elman sold Regent Sound Studio to James Baring, an aristocrat and flamboyant Etonian who, as well as being a keen aerobatic pilot, was heir to Barings Bank. He completely embraced 60's youth culture and was great friends with artists and musicians, many of whom later recorded at the studio.
In early 1964, The Rolling Stones recorded their hugely successful first album at Regent Sound Studio. Keith Richards said in an interview "We did our early records on a 2-track Revox in a room insulated with egg cartons at Regent Sound. It was like a little demo in Tin Pan Alley, as it used to be called. Denmark Street in Soho. It was all done on a 2-track Revox that he had on the wall. We used to think, oh, this is a recording studio, huh? This is what they're like? A tiny little backroom. Under those primitive conditions it was easy to make the kind of sound we got on our first album and the early singles, but hard to make a much better one." The album stayed at #1 in the UK for 12 weeks, with the band returning to record most of their second album 12 X 5 at Regent Sound Studio.
The studio was so small that there was hardly any definition between the instruments, so the band couldn't avoid putting down on tape an approximation of their live sound of the time. In their bid to get away from the major record company studios with their strait-laced tie-wearing producers, the band loved the sound of the primitive and cramped studio.
Producer/Manager Andrew Oldham said of their time recording "We did the first album in about 10 days. We'd decide to do a tune, but Mick wouldn't know the words, so Mick would run around Denmark Street to Carlin Music to pick up the words to something like Can I Get a Witness? He'd come back 25 minutes later and we'd start."
The Rolling Stones weren't the only band to make use of Regent Sound Studio. Through the 60s and 70s it played host to many other bands and artists including The Who, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, Mott the Hoople, Donovan and Black Sabbath – who recorded their hugely successful song and album Paranoid at the studio.
Drummer Dale 'Buffin' Griffin of Mott the Hoople recollects: "Silence indeed had been trying out one unsuccessful singer after another, and the band was about to give up all hope. Six hours of auditions for a new singer/pianist had been grim. Only two hours remained of the time booked at Regent Sound Studio and no one even remotely suitable had shown up. [Silence] trudged grudgingly the few doors up the street back into the studio where Bill Farley offered a faint glimmer of hope. He 'knew a bloke.'" Sure enough, that "bloke" was none other than Hunter. And although he didn't quite resemble the rock star he would turn out to be, Guy Stevens saw something in Hunter that he liked and offered him the job. The band, though, took its time in welcoming Hunter into the band. In fact, ironically enough it was Tippins who was the first person who talked to him. However, once Hunter began to shed pounds, let his hair grow out and write songs, the band was excited, and with Guy Stevens taking full control over the band, the rehearsal sessions smoked."
Not all the artists who recorded at Regent Sound Studio were popular with the neighbours. Speaking to Darby Dorras of Smoke Radio, Baring once said "Jimi Hendrix was a lovely guy, but loud as you know, and he was the only guy that in the middle of the (recording) session (at the Denmark St studio) a guy came round from next door at the Labor Exchange, and said: 'Guys we can't actually carry on work at the Labor Exchange because we can't hear ourselves speak.' And it was a fact that Hendrix was so loud that not only could they hear him in the Labor Exchange next door, but us in the control room had difficulty in distinguishing what came through the wall, and what came out of the speakers – so it was in fact (laughs) quite difficult to balance him… So Jimi was very kind and very nice, and he said 'Ok guys, we've had a good rehearsal, we'd better find somewhere else to make our noise' and that was (laughs) it."
In the mid 60s Regent Sound Studio opened another studio. This was in basement premises on the corner of Tottenham Court Rd and University Street and became known as Studio A, with the Denmark Street branch being named Studio B. It was set up in what had been a dance studio run by the Clark Brothers and it had a solid state transistorised mixer and a state-of-the-art analogue 4-track multitrack tape recorder built by the Swiss company Studer, that also manufactured Revox tape machines. In 1966 and early 1967 the only other London studio with a 4-track was Abbey Road. This extra technology meant The Beatles would use Studio A when they couldn't get time in their 'home' studio, and it ultimately led to Fixing A Hole being recorded for Sgt. Pepper's at the studio. Studio B in Denmark St had a much more economical setup.
With the presence of many more advanced studios such as Abbey Road, Olympic Studios and Trident Studios, Regent Sound Studio on Denmark Street became overshadowed by the new technology and closed. In the following years no.4 Denmark Street saw many changes. In 1978 science fiction, fantasy and horror book and comic shop Forbidden Planet occupied the premises before moving to a larger space. The well-liked Helter Skelter bookshop then followed their residency. After closing, no.4 Denmark Street became the guitar shop Regent Sounds and traded for just over six years before a change in ownership in 2010.
The new owners of Regent Sounds refurbished the shop and commenced trading as a guitar shop specialising in Fender and Gretsch guitars. They are well aware of the history of the shop and the importance of the street as a whole:
"The heritage of the street and the shop itself has created a special environment with many of its famous past musicians, artists and engineers regularly popping in, as well as many modern famous customers."
As active musicians themselves the new owners have created a friendly and relaxing atmosphere where customers can try guitars, receive knowledgeable advice or simply browse. They are proud to be part of the legendary history of Regent Sounds and Denmark Street.

Peter Onuf: World's Greatest Mentor
Based on the last couple of posts, this blog is rapidly becoming an elegiac tribute page, but I'd be remiss if I didn't add one more acknowledgment. Professor Peter S. Onuf, recently retired from the University of Virginia, will be receiving the Nancy Lyman Roelker Mentorship Award at the upcoming American Historical Association conference in New Orleans. The award, established in 1991, "honors teachers of history who taught, guided, and inspired their students in a way that changed their lives." Previous winners include Elizabeth Blackmar, Lynn Hunt, and Nell Irvin Painter. It rotates among high school teachers, undergraduate teachers, and graduate-level teachers, so we can think of Onuf's award as being more akin to a Fields Medal for the mentoring of history graduate students than to an annual prize.
Today, incidentally, is the anniversary of the first time I ever met Peter, on a trip I made to prospective graduate schools just before Thanksgiving. He is indeed a fantastic mentor, as plenty of other former students, friends, and co-authors can attest (and have attested). Unless you've met him (or heard him on Backstory), it's hard to picture someone so laid-back that he's known as the "dude," yet also a tough and insightful "big picture" critic of scholarly work. He devoted enormous amounts of time and energy to his graduate students. One of his greatest achievements was in sustaining a vibrant early American seminar for his graduate students and other area scholars–something that requires a rare blend of charismatic leadership, cutting-edge work, collegiality, constructive criticism, and beer. It's great to see a historian of early America earn this award, and it's especially great to see this particular historian receive this recognition.

The NGC Universal ID is a four digit alphanumeric that groups coins based on a unique combination of date, mintmark, denomination and striking process (MS, PF, or SP). These IDs are a simple organization of all coins prior to variety attribution and grading.
The mintage for Philadelphia half dollars was recorded as 934,000 pieces in 1892, and many were saved as the first of their kind. After all, it had been since 1839 when the half dollar had seen a major design change. Apparently, this new Barber design was well received by the public. Nevertheless, time and attrition take their inevitable toll and very few of these early Barber half dollars remain in Gem condition.
Mint Director J. P. Kimball placed his considerable influence behind the passage of what became the Mint Act of September 26, 1890. This Act specified that coin designs could be changed after they had been in use 25 years. Minor silver coinage came up for possible change in 1891. A circular requesting proposals was sent to 10 of America's premier sculptors which failed to produce the desired results. Thus, the Treasury opened the competition to the public, but one of the judges was Mint Engraver Charles E. Barber. 300 entries were submitted, but none were thought worthy of a prize, and only two received Honorable Mention. Barber submitted his own design, which was adopted for coinage in 1892, on dimes, quarters and half dollars. The obverse depicts Liberty as a mirror image of the current Morgan silver dollar, with a laurel wreath on her head, and her hair tucked up under her cap instead of cascading onto her shoulders as on the silver dollar. Barber adapted the reverse design from the Great Seal, very similar to what Robert Scot had done 91 years earlier on silver and gold coinage. The only change was in the array of stars over the eagle's head, randomly placed instead of in the shape of the Star of David pattern from the Great Seal, or in rows as Robert Scot had done on the Draped Bust coinage. Barber's design continued for 25 calendar years, when the new Walking Liberty half dollars were released in late 1916.

Check out the Hardwood Floors Resource Book with more than 3,400 listings of manufacturers, distributors, contractors and other NWFA members.
View Digital Edition
Find in-depth information here about all aspects of wood flooring, from environmental benefits to the positive impact wood floors can have on your home.
Check out this article regarding how wood floors add beauty and value to the home, published in the Summer 2013 issue of Fabulous Floors, a consumer-focused magazine devoted solely to flooring styles as a key element in home décor.
American hardwoods offer warmth, durability, luxury and design options that are unmatched by faux-wood products. American hardwood products are also a proven environmentally sustainable resource.
Hardwood forests naturally regenerate themselves and do not need to be replanted like softwood forests. For this reason, their harvesting methods widely differ. The preferred method of harvesting hardwoods is single-tree selection. This means a professional forester evaluates a forest and determines which trees are ready to harvest. This responsible forest management practice not only provides a sustaining supply of hardwood, but it also ensures the overall health of a thriving forest - including water quality, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, and recreational opportunities. This has allowed the volume of our hardwood forests to more than double since the 1950s.
Wood is a carbon neutral material. Healthy forests absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen. The carbon is then stored in the wood for the life of the tree and the products made from it. Advanced technology also ensures minimal wood is wasted during the manufacturing process. And did you know that every part of the tree is used? For example, tree bark becomes mulch, sawdust becomes animal bedding or fuel for boilers to operate dry kilns, and trimmings become paper. No other material can compare.
There is no better or more natural choice for green building and healthy home environments than American hardwoods.

Written Answers - Social and Affordable Housing.
Tuesday, 25 October 2005
Dáil Eireann Debate
128. Mr. Crowe asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the actions he has taken since January 2005 to achieve his Department's objective of enabling every household to have available an affordable dwelling of good quality, suited to its needs, in a good environment and as far as possible at the tenure of its choice. [30317/05]
Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. N. Ahern): My Department continually monitors and reviews policies and measures aimed at fulfilling key objectives of national housing policy. This year we have already introduced a number of further initiatives aimed at increasing supply in a sustainable way as well as making substantial progress in addressing concerns raised in the NESC report on housing.
Overall housing output for the first six months of 2005 was running at similar levels to 2004 — the tenth successive year for record house completions with 76,950 units completed. House completions in Ireland are at the highest level in Europe in relation to population — around 19 units per 1,000 population. This is well over five times the rate of our nearest neighbours, the UK.
In July 2005, the Government launched the affordable homes partnership, which is designed to drive the delivery of affordable housing in the greater Dublin area. As part of the broader national delivery of housing, all local authorities will review their land management strategies to maximise the availability of land for their own housing programmes, voluntary and co-operative housing and housing partnerships with the private sector, as well as to secure more active use of brownfield land and derelict sites.
A detailed assessment of housing need was carried out by local authorities earlier this year [779]and the results are due to be published shortly. These will provide my Department and housing authorities with improved and updated data on all households in need of social or affordable housing and will assist in the monitoring and review of housing policy more generally.
Record levels of funding have been provided for the broad range of social and affordable housing. The total Exchequer capital and current funding available for social and affordable housing in 2005 will amount to €1.3 billion, which represents an increase of 20% on 2004. Total capital spending on social and affordable housing output in 2005, inclusive of non-Exchequer financing, will amount to €2 billion.
To ensure a systematic and integrated approach to the use of these resources, local authorities in consultation with my Department have developed new five-year action plans for social and affordable housing covering the period to 2008. The preparation of these plans has improved the identification of priority needs and will help to ensure a more coherent and co-ordinated response across all housing services.
Overall in 2005, it is anticipated that the needs of in excess of 13,000 households will be met through the existing social and affordable housing measures. In addition, it is anticipated that a number of households in private rented accommodation will transfer to the new rental accommodation scheme now being introduced. Under the scheme, local authorities will, over a four-year period, progressively assume responsibility for accommodating supplementary welfare allowance rent supplement recipients of 18 months or more continuous duration with a long-term housing need. It is estimated that of the 58,000 people in receipt of rent supplement, 30,000 may fall into the target group for this new scheme.

Huntsville, AL (PRWEB) January 29, 2013
transOMIC technologies announced today that it has partnered with Clontech (a Takara Bio company) to launch the MGC premier™ Tagged ORF collections for gene and protein analysis. Over 40,000 human, mouse and rat genes are represented in these new genome-scale ORF collections, making transOMIC technologies the largest provider of gene content for protein expression.
"Introducing this new collection of ORF expression vectors supports our mission to offer new gene analysis tools to the market," said Blake Simmons, chief executive officer of transOMIC technologies. "By using Clontech's validated expression system and fusion-tags, we can now provide ready-to-express gene content to simplify gene and protein analysis."
transOMIC technologies was recently made an archive site for full-length cDNA collections in the NIH's Mammalian Gene Collection. The company has significantly expanded the utility of this resource with the MGC premier™ Expression-Ready cDNA clone collection in 2012 and now in 2013 with the MGC premier Tagged ORFs for protein expression.
transOMIC technologies' partnership with Clontech combines industry leading expertise in the development of gene expression systems with transOMIC's extensive gene content. These vectors contain validated fusion tags that minimize interference with protein function and are ideal for protein expression and analysis. With a choice of two well characterized fusion tags in the N- or C-terminal format and coverage across three genomes, researchers now have immediate access to versatile protein expression vectors and the broadest, highest quality gene content on the market.

Oh Boy
2012. Germany. Directed by Jan-Ole Gerster. Twenty-something Niko is out of luck: no job, no girl, no money.

Decent Data
I love the Internet. At a party at the beginning of the summer, a young friend said to me that the Internet is like magic. Just log on and ask a question and more than likely you'll get an answer. I'm always searching for new resources for health information. Like magic I find them often. Here are a few sites that may be useful to you.
Gymanee is a new site searching for beta users. It provides workout routines and interactive databases where members can track their progress in a number of categories (weight lost, resting heartbeat, calories consumed, to mention a few). It's taking a social networking approach by offering a "Gym Buddies" feature. It allows you to meet cyber gym buddies for mutual motivation and fresh workout ideas.
The Harvard School of Public Health has a site called The Nutrition Source. It offers in depth information about most any nutrition

Conclusion of jubilee year in honor of Pauline Jaricot
Catholic World News - January 08, 2013
Pope Benedict XVI has named Cardinal Paul Poupard, president emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Culture, as his special envoy to the closing of the jubilee year in honor of Venerable Pauline-Marie Jaricot (1799-1862). The ceremonies, culminating in a Mass in Lyon, France, take place on January 9.
The French laywoman took a vow of perpetual virginity at the age of 17, founded the Society for the Propagation of Faith in 1822 to aid the missions, and founded the Association of the Living Rosary in 1826.
The 2012-13 jubilee commemorates the 150th anniversary of Jaricot's death and the 50th anniversary of Blessed John XXIII's decree declaring Jaricot venerable.

Solar Eclipse SundayMay 17th, 2012 at 12:36 am by Bill Steffen under Bill's Blog, News, Weather
From roughly 8:15 PM until sunset (9 PM), a portion of the sun will be blocked by the moon – a solar eclipse. Go to this site to learn more and see what the eclipse might look like over Lake Michigan. Don't get your hopes up. The sun will be very low on the horizon, just before sunset, and it would have to be clear to the horizon to be visible. Only a portion of the sun will be blocked. We also have a decent chance that clouds or a combination of clouds and haze will block the view. Here's a video on the event. Another video of the effect mainly over the Pacific Ocean. Members of the Kalamazoo Astronomical Society are planning on setting up telescopes at Warren Dunes State Park to witness this solar system alignment. The best view of this eclipse will be in the Western U.S., the Aleutian Islands, Japan and Southeast China. There are better solar eclipses coming in August 2017 and April 2024. There will also be solar eclipses in 2044 and 2045. Picture from NASA. Here's a cool solar eclipse picture.

Dorothy Corson lives in an English Cottage in a woods in South Bend, Indiana. She and her husband-to-be designed and built their home before they were married. It took six years to save the money to accomplish it. They named it, Fieldstone & Ivy -- Our Cottage of Content. They were married and moved in, coincidentally or providentially, on February 11th Lourdes Day (they knew nothing about the Grotto or Notre Dame until decades later).
The wooded lot they chose, coincidentally, is a mile north of Notre Dame within sight of the Golden Dome. Inspired by a trip to New England they built a free-standing fieldstone and ivy wall surrounding their front yard. Rocks have held a fascination for them ever since. They are a lot like people, no two are exactly alike. Their abstract later revealed that the woods they had chosen once belonged to Fr. Edward Sorin. Priests and Brother friends on campus have often related how they enjoyed having picnics by the creek in their woods and how at one time there were plans to build a priest's retreat at the end of their street.
Dorothy and her husband, Arnold (Jack) Corson, met at a local bank where she worked as a teenager. The bank is still owned by the Morris Family, longtime benefactors of Notre Dame. Jack spent all his working life there retiring after forty years as one of their Vice-Presidents. Dorothy went on to become a fashion artist and advertising agency secretary until their son, Greg, was born when she retired and became a stay-at-home Mom. Looking back on the synchronicity of all the events that have transpired to plant her on that research Trail of Memories has been mind-boggling to her.
Her son taught himself how to use computers at the Notre Dame Computer Center via a student user number Fr. Jan obtained for him when he was 14. Since then he has taught her everything she knows about computers. In the early eighties, long before there was an Internet, he started a company called Kangaroo Koncepts, Inc. and designed the software for his Computer Based Communications System, which he called The Connection. Notre Dame Professors, students, housewives and kids with their Commodores and Ataris communicated over five telephone lines coming into their home 24 hours a day. He went on to work at Virtual World Entertainment in Chicago and is now with Sony Entertainment of America near San Francisco in their Research and Development Department where they have just launched the PlayStation 3.
This poetry website would not exist without his good natured ongoing encouragement and the technical help and guidance he has provided via Instant Messenger, Remote Assistance, and Shared Files, during the six months it has taken to give birth to this second brainchild.
Do I believe in Providence and Predestiny? You bet I do! I could write a book about it, but then, maybe I already have. Keep following your Muse -- your very own Guiding Spirit within -- and it will take you places you never dreamed were possible.

If there's one thing scientists at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation share with zombies, it's an appreciation for brains. Granted, zombies want to eat those brains, while OMRF researchers just like using them.
Zombie myth has scientific roots
With Halloween fast approaching, it seems like zombies are everywhere. Whether you caught the bug from "The Walking Dead" or "World War Z," it's hard to steer clear of these shambling, flesh-hungry monsters. And believe it or not, part of the zombie myth is rooted in biomedical science.
"There are quasi-scientific roots to almost all of your classic monsters," said OMRF President Stephen Prescott, M.D. "And zombies are no exception."
In movies, TV and popular fiction, zombies were once people who were transformed by a horribly mutated — and contagious — virus or parasite. "Considering recent scares over both avian and swine flu," Prescott said, "that might not seem so far-fetched."
In fact, Prescott said, a disease called African trypanosomiasis, or "sleeping sickness," shares some traits of a zombie infection. A parasite called Trypanosoma brucei is delivered in the bite of a tsetse fly. After initially causing headache, fever, joint pain and itching, the parasite invades the brain, where it disrupts the sleep cycle and triggers confusion, tremors and paralysis.

We've all experienced it at one time or another. We've heard a song, seen a movie, watched a television show, read a book, or attended a live function that moved us with emotion–and changed our lives. The impact of that moment upon us is something that even now rushes back to our memory at the mere suggestion of it. We at XtreMEDIA are no different. In fact its why we got into the business. Life changing moments happen through great narrative. Narrative can be placed in nearly any venue and take on many different forms. But one thing remains constant, the ever desired need to be challenged, moved, and motivated. So we at XtreMEDIA are taking this challenge seriously. We are in the business of producing life changing moments. Some will make us cry, others will cause us to roar with joy, others will remind us that we have much to be thankful for, and some will even make us angry enough to do something about it. Whatever the case, here's the promise, XtreMEDIA is here to impact and change people's lives!
Founded in July of 2008, Actor Stephen Baldwin and Writer/Media Personality Kevin McCullough, desired to pour into the world content that would change the life of people that they came into contact with. One significant step in doing so was the launching of the Baldwin/McCullough*LIVE* Radio show. Launching on four stations its first week, and hoping to be on fifty in roughly eighteen months, they were ecstatic to see their weekly broadcast cleared on more than 100 stations in only seven months. By the time they had been on the air a full 12 months they were closing in on 200. To date they are being carried by over 328 affiliates across North America. As of January of 2010, long time talk-radio veteran Kevin McCullough returned to the daily airwaves on a national platform with The Kevin McCullough Show airing on an additional 200+ radio stations together both radio programs reach roughly 10 million weekly listeners.
Their latest productions the Dani Johnson Radio Show & Steve Deace is included in their line up of shows, jump starting their broadcasting foot print by airing on hundreds of radio stations nationally.
The simplest form of media text comes in all shapes and sizes. From the internet, blogosphere, micro-blogs, social networks, syndicated columns, guest editorials, screenplays, magazine articles, and published books, Baldwin/McCullough have done and still do it all. Four books published between the two of them as solo authors. McCullough's 3rd book, a hardback from Thomas Nelson Publishing. Baldwin is also putting the finishing touches on his third manuscript as well. In many discussions they have also pondered the idea of co-writing a book between the two of them. They have tried this on a smaller scale with guest editorials for CBS News and others, with tremendous success.
In 2012 perhaps the highest growth curve for XtreMedia will be the major motion picture development that occurs. Four major features ranging from high-end (Disney/Pixar level) animated family oriented films, to family friendly fare, to action/adventure films with the intensity of the Bourne Identity are all in the works. We are honored to be working with the leading edge special effects giants, screenplay writers, and treatment development talent on the planet. Each of these products will be designed with one very special purpose in mind… to change people's lives.
In addition to recurring guest star roles on dramas like CSI, and highly competitive appearances on reality shows like Celebrity Apprentice, Celebrity Big Brother UK, and I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, Stephen Baldwin and Kevin McCullough have plans for content treatments to be brought to the small screen as well. Their internet television series, self-produced, Xtreme Bytes has been a viral hit since 2009. XtreMEDIA has recently partnered with the UANetwork to air the Baldwin/McCullough*LIVE* and the Dani Johnson Show as TV programs. UA Network becoming the TV media arm for X3Media airing in Houston, Dallas, New York and nationwide very soon.
"LIVE" Events:
Another huge area of expansion for XtreMEDIA is the foray into live events. Beginning with their signature event, "The XPAC Entertainment Lounge" at CPAC in Washington DC in February, Baldwin & McCullough have since been invited to bring XPAC to both coasts. They served 2400 young adults in Washington DC and have plans for even more in years to come.
Branding Strategies:
Because of the platform that XtreMEDIA rests upon Baldwin and McCullough have developed many veins of distribution for any organization to get a message, brand, or awareness to the larger public. With a footprint the size of XtreMEDIA at one's disposal they are also mindful of the need to use such presence for things that are good. Geo-targeting, zip-code and age demographic sortable, XtreMEDIA is capable of reaching hundreds of thousands of consumers in any given area with a five layer strategy of awareness. For more information on how you might find out what the rigorous requirements are to access this network's footprint, Contact us today — CLICK HERE.
For media pros who are looking to take their organization, broadcast operation, or broadcast talent to another level, XtreMEDIA has the capability and network in place to help you conquer your greatest weaknesses as an actor, news media professional, talk show talent, musical performer, or budding writer. For more information on how you can access what they know, in order to make it your knowledge as well, do not hesitate to be in contact.

SABINE, TEXAS (Jefferson County). Sabine, on the west bank of Sabine Pass south of Farm Road 3322 and thirty-two miles south of Beaumont in extreme southeastern Jefferson County, was founded in 1878 by New York financiers who objected to the price of waterfront property at the town of Sabine Pass. By the winter of 1879–80 a six-foot channel linked Sabine to the Gulf of Mexico, and in 1882 jetties were begun. Dock and port facilities were installed, and the Windsor resort hotel opened. A post office was established in 1899 but was discontinued sometime in the 1930s. Though the town served as the terminus of the Sabine and East Texas Railroad, its growth was curtailed by heavy losses from coastal storms in 1886 and 1900 and by competition from Port Arthur. By 1914 the Texas and New Orleans Railroad was in operation at Sabine, and the town had a population of 300, two churches, several stores, and a school; at that time it also had sulfur mines and shipped fish and fertilizer. The Sabine population rose to 400 by 1925 and remained at that level until the late 1940s; during this period the highest number of businesses reported there was five. In 1933 the railroad was discontinued and its installations removed. The 1936 county highway map showed a school, several buildings, and scattered dwellings near Kountze Lake. By 1949 the community had become a fishing resort and had an estimated population of 250. Its population numbered 260 from 1950 to 1964, rose to 310 in 1965, and fell to 100 in 1966, when only one business remained. From 1972 until 1988 the population was estimated at seventy-five, after which it was no longer recorded. In the 1990s a quarantine station and a United States Coast Guard station were maintained at the site, and Dick Dowling Park was a half mile south.

Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots North America Training Summit
When not filming in the field, Bill Wallauer, the Jane Goodall Institute's (JGI) wildlife cameraman and research videographer, speaks with a variety of audiences about JGI and Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots, JGI's environmental and humanitarian youth program. Below, Bill recalls a lecture he gave last fall at Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots North America Training Summit.
Last fall, I was lucky enough to give a keynote address at Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots North America Training Summit in New Orleans. It was an inspiring event during which I met some amazing teachers, leaders and mentors. The purpose of the summit was to: teach educators new skills to help start and mentor Roots & Shoots groups; discuss new concepts in environmental education; and share ways to get students involved in their communities.
On the flight and subsequent drive into the city, I was blown away by the beauty of the place. Miles of largely uninhabited wetlands surround the city. Occasionally, cabins set high on stilts can be spotted throughout the landscape. No doubt, the swamps of Louisiana contain completely isolated areas of land. I arrived in New Orleans in the evening and was treated to a fantastic sunset view of the Superdome.
The fact that the summit was in New Orleans, a city I've never visited, was a huge bonus. The sights, sounds and smells were all new and very different from my relatively solitary life in Gombe National Park in Tanzania. New Orleans has a different feel from other cities I have visited. It was awake all night and the lively nightlife had a way of drawing you in. On the streets, musicians, from soloists to small bands, serenade visitors in the French Quarter from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. Bourbon Street, which never sleeps, was only two blocks from our hotel.
On the first day of the summit, I was excited to learn that Tim Duggan, landscape architect for the Make It Right Foundation, was going to speak. Tim gave a totally awe-inspiring talk about building hopes and dreams one home at a time in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. The Lower Ninth was totally devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Thanks to the dedication of a handful of people and a willing community, this neighborhood is destined to become one of the greenest in the nation.
Tim spoke eloquently about how people in the area have been transformed because of the availability of affordable long-term solutions. Not only is the Make It Right Foundation using appropriate and sustainable technology to build affordable, new homes that will likely survive the next man-made flood disaster, the organization is also establishing wetlands, rainwater catchments, organic gardens, and native plant landscapes. It is so inspiring to learn about people who have dedicated their lives to doing great things. Thank you Tim for all that you and Make It Right are doing.
The individual sessions throughout the summit were also inspiring. There were great talks about best practices for getting students of all levels involved in Roots & Shoots, as well as talks about how to launch composting projects, how to support great apes in the wild and in captivity, and so much more. I met teacher after teacher whose lives, like mine, have been changed and improved by the leadership and heart of Jane Goodall and the Jane Goodall Institute.
Despite some initial technical issues, I was able to give my talk and had a blast doing it. The audience was wonderful and very involved and it was a true delight to show footage of my experiences in the field with the Gombe chimps and with Jane. I also put together some short films highlighting the work of the Jane Goodall Institute across Africa. Roots & Shoots began in Tanzania in 1991 and is now in more than 120 countries. It was fun to share my stories and footage of the founding Roots & Shoots members and their many protégés. Roots & Shoots has grown throughout the continent and the world. Thanks so much to the Roots & Shoots team for inviting me to the summit.
Tim Duggan of the Make it Right Foundation gave an inspiring talk. Tim's photo of a little boy he works with says it all.
There were many great sessions throughout the weekend.
New Orleans has a fantastic skyline with modern and old European architectural styles.
With its bronze-colored panels, the New Orleans Superdome is an impressive site.

Robbie E. is led out to the ring with Robbie T. to a bit of a non-reaction from the crowd.
Robbie has a mic and says since he's the best TV Champion of all time he and Robbie T. decided to create the Robbie E. Open challenge, so he's challenging anyone in the back, but he wants them to remember one thing. They're not on the list.
I guess it's worth noting Robbie T. has a clipboard with "The List" written on the back of it. After a bit of waiting, Shannon Moore makes his way out to the ring, and the Robbie's don't look too happy.
Robbie E. protests and tells the ref that Shannon isn't on the list. He whispers something in Terry's ear before making his way up to the apron, and apparently this match is on for the TV Title.
The bell rings and Robbie goes behind Moore, but things are quickly turned around. Robbie locks in a headlock, but Shannon fights it off and responds with arm drags and a drop kick that sends Robbie to the outside. Robbie heads over, grabs his belt, and hands it to Terry. The Robbie's head up the ramp, but E. is stopped by Shannon, who brings him back down to the ring, fighting him the whole way. Moore sends Robbie into the barricade before sending him back into the ring and following after.
Moore kicks away at Robbie, but things are turned around as Robbie slams Moore's head into the turnbuckle. Moore comes back with an atomic drop and a nice spin kick for a near fall. Moore catches Robbie with a couple of chops and a knee to the stomach in the corner. Moore is sent to the arpon, and hit with a running knee that sends him flying to the outside into the barricade.
Robbie makes his way out, and Terry "holds back" the ringside fans, which the ref doesn't seem to be a fan of. Robbie E. sends Shannon back into the ring and follows, stomping away at him on the mat. Robbie hits Moore with a running back elbow that good for a near fall of his own.
Robbie clamps on a rear chin lock, but Moore is able to fight it off with wild punches. Moore sends Robbie into the corner, but eats a big boot, and another running back elbow. Robbie heads up to the middle rope, stopping on the way to gloat, and drops another big elbow which is good for a two count.
Robbie continues to wear down Moore, locking in another rear chin lock. Moore calls for support from the fans and makes his way back up to his feet, only to be clubbed back down by Robbie. Moore lands on his feet from a belly to back suplex attempt, and hits Robbie with a big kick to the back of the head and both men are slow to get to their feet.
Robbie and Moore trade right hands, and Moore gets the upper hand with a series of forearms, and a facebuster to lay the champ out for another two count. Robbie heads to the outside and Moore hits the ropes, hitting Robbie with a baseball slide to the back. Moore heads out to the apron and hits a big asai moonsault from the second rope.
Moore sends Robbie back into the ring and tries for a couple of pinfalls, but Robbie won't stay down for three. Moore catches Robbie with an elbow in the corner, but misses a moonsault press, and eats a big running clothesline from Robbie that's good for another two count. Terry appears to be on the phone with someone. Robbie heads to the top rope, but Moore hits the ropes with a dropkick and Robbie crotches himself. Moore heads up to the top and hits a hurricanrana from the top to send Robbie flying across the ring, but he still won't stay down for a three count.
Moore tries for a neckbreaker, but it's countered. Shannon is sent into the rope and hit by Terry with a foreign object. Robbie slams Moore to the mat and goes for the pin, getting the three count.
