This Month's Learning Innovation: Clairton Robotics
Clairton High School is known for its football team, the Bears, which put together an amazing 66 game win streak. They get a lot of publicity. Lesser publicized -- but growing -- is a program introduced by Industrial Arts Teacher Dennis Beard. Four years ago he introduced what he calls a "smart sport" to the school: Robotics, and especially the BotsIQ program.
"It was something new and exciting for the kids to do to get involved in things other than sports," Dennis explains. "It's a smart sport because it helps further their education in math and science – and it's fun to do because they get to beat things up."
The robotics program was inspired by the BotIQ summer camp Dennis' son had attended. There the students learned to build robots, specifically "battle bots," that compete against each other in gladiator-style combat. In the process of creating these battle bots, students use science, engineering, math, even English. His son loved it, and Dennis, as a long-time industrial arts teacher, thought it would be a great fit for Clairton.
"It started out as an experiment," he says, with Dennis purchasing the parts he needed on the internet with his own money. When he connected with Southwestern PA's BotsIQ program, he found guidance and a good fit. The program oversees competitions between schools and offers help in developing curriculum and much more.
At Clairton, Dennis' students design and build "battle bots," taking them from the earliest phases through a wooden prototype and then a metal creation. Everything that goes into making the robot is done right there in Dennis' classroom. But it's not just about creating the best battle machine: Dennis explains that his students are "Straight A's and not straight A kids, but they all participate. They're all going above and beyond, bringing something to the team, some energy."
In the process they learn how to use metalworking equipment, computer design programs, utilize engineering skills and even get experience in writing and public speaking, because they have to document everything and present their work at each competition. The class has two teams, which work during school time and as an afterschool club.
Senior Eliza Sopka heads one of the two teams. "I began in my freshman year and was hooked," she says. She likes the competition, explaining that they meet local schools in the arena, like Plum, South Park and West Mifflin. "It's a friendly competition to see who builds the best robot and has the best binder" containing all the documentation of the building process. "We learn teamwork, hard work, compile data and paperwork," Eliza adds, "and we gain some real world experience."
That's one plus: another, according to Dennis, is the culture in the class. "I see a big improvement with the students. They're taking leadership. I step back and have the students learning the wiring, how to run the machines in the shop, and I see them learn and teach each other. It's a big step because now it's not that they sit in a classroom and get lectured to all the time. It's hands on, and the rest of the world is hands on. They face challenges and they find ways to overcome them. Every robot is a little bit different."
Clairton develops winners – and not just on the football field. The robotics team has fielded winners nearly every year since Dennis brought the program to the school. In the second and third years of the program, the Clairton teams went to the local competition held at California University and won such awards as "king of the ring," coolest robot, sportsmanship and then Grand Champion.
In the process of winning those awards, the team gets judged on everything, including the documentation of the process. "So when I say it's a smart sport, they have to hit on every one of those aspects and be at the top on everyone to win Grand Champion," Dennis observes.
Last year, because the team won "Grand Champion," they were given the opportunity to go to the national competition held in Indiana. But because Clairton is one of the region's smallest and poorest school districts, money just wasn't available for little things like parts and big things like money to take the winning team to the nationals. Though Dennis was able to find sponsors, including local companies like Ace Wire Spring & Form and Vangura Tool Co., it just wasn't enough. Dennis and the school administration put out the call to the community – and their story was picked up by the local media. The team needed $4,000 to attend the nationals; in just a few days, the public responded to their story and sent in nearly $60,000 in donations.
The kids got to go to the competition, and with the money that was left over, we were able to purchase more supplies for the program. We're hoping to go back this year," Dennis says, explaining that later this month his class takes their two "battle bots" to the Cal U. competition.
And, he proudly notes, his robotics team is the only Clairton team that participates in national competition, in this "smart sport."

Maker Corps allows artist to share passion for making
By Seth Gamson, Assemble Intern
Fabienne Hudson was one year out of CMU's School of Art when she joined Maker Corps. With a background in photography, painting, and printmaking, she had the qualifications and passion of a maker. As she looked for a path as an artist she came across Maker Corps, and her involvement would soon become her avenue "to express my love for creating with others, while simultaneously learning from others as well."
Fabienne has had trouble reconciling that her art can seem like a "self serving or lonely process" with her desire to participate and truly give to something greater than herself. Luckily for Fabienne, she was able to find a way to put into practice her trade and her desire to give back.
Through Maker Corps, Fabienne has been working at Assemble, the community space for Art and Technology in Garfield. She is a core member, running summer camp programs for ages 6 to 13. With Assemble, she has also worked at various events, promoting Assemble's STEAM learning principles and working with children to give them creations of their own from innovative media. She has found her work to be "rewarding and enlightening" as she has taught and learned from young makers.
Having fun making things out of found objects -- like this sunflower -- is a young student at Assemble, the Maker space in Garfield.
At the opening of "The Wonder of Learning, the Hundred Languages of Children," the Reggio Emilia, Italy exhibit on display now at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center through November 15, are Steering Committee Members Allison Stevens, intern, left, and Cindy Popovich, University of Pittsburgh faculty member.
Environmental Charter School encourages talented "thinkers" in the school's innovative Thinking Lab. Leading the way are educators Rose Papa, left, and Stephanie DeLuca.

As we get ready to kick spring into full gear, it's time to start purging our winter wardrobes. Before you start packing pieces away, here are some looks you should keep on wearing, as well as a few you might want to retire.
This playful accent hasn't lost its appeal. For spring, look for extra details like a floral print, eyelet fabric or lace inserts. We are loving how this scalloped leather collar adds instant charm and sweet appeal to a regular jersey tee.
Alice + Olivia Margot Leather Collar Top $297
From feminine dresses to pleated skirts, leather is still a knockout come spring. To give it a warmer vibe, look for softer hues that aren't as edgy or as bold as fall favorites black and oxblood. The sky blue hue and A-line structure lend a flirtatious appeal to this fun and springy mini.
Love Leather Snow Cone A Line Mini Skirt $231
Going strong for almost a year, patterned denim still manages to look fresh and forward. For a spring feel, look for prints with a lighter look or traditional blues with a faded print like these cropped skinny jeans that have a bohemian flair thanks to their cool bandana print.
Adriano Goldschmied Legging Ankle Jeans $185
Already a staple in almost every female's closet, fashion's most flattering device is still up and running come spring. For a more modern take, look for a peplum with sporty details. Not only is this colorblocked design chic and fashion-forward, it's super affordable.
Express Color Block Peplum $39.90
Fluorescents remain big for spring. Edgy accents like spikes and leather detailing give this electric trend an of-the-moment feel. Add a playful vibe to a classic ensemble with this beaded neon necklace that has just the right amount of flash.
La Vie Bobo Large Neon Quartz Necklace $325
Spring is big on polished looks and classic styles so now might be the best time to put away those pre-destroyed knits. Instead, opt for a bright and colorful version like this short-sleeved athletic-inspired knit that pairs easily with both casual and business-like separates.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Armstrong Sweater $168
Heavy is not a look you want to have to deal with come spring. Instead look for breezier materials in bright colors. High slits give this peach-colored version a subtle sexy appeal that you can dress up or down.
Thakoon Addition Slit Front Maxi Skirt $490
While fall was the season of the oxblood, spring is all about lighter and brighter hues including violets, fuchsias, and bright pinks. Give your party attire an instant upgrade in this borderline-shocking-pink short frock.
French Connection V-Neck Cotton Fit & Flare Dress $228
If you're feeling fatigued from army overload, now is probably a good time to drop the camouflage act. For spring, keep warm by choosing a more classic jacket like this faded blue denim one that you can dress up or down, depending on your fashionable destination.
J Brand Faded Blue Classic Denim Jacket $230
While this lavish trend, especially in dark tones and gilded accents, ruled both the runway and the fashion scene during the fall, its heavy opulent nature looks overdone for spring. Instead, opt for the frothier version by donning luxe fabrics in confectionery shades, like this peach and ivory striped lace jacquard dress.
Thakoon Peach and Ivory Striped Lace Jacquard Dress $1320

Former Pats defensive coordinator Dean Pees on returning: "It's like playing golf against my brothers." - 0 Comments
Former Patriots defensive coordinator Dean Pees will be returning to Foxboro with the Ravens on Sunday. After leaving the Pats during the offseason, he hooked on with John Harbaugh to become the Ravens linebacker's coach.
Today, because of huge media demand, he answered questions from Baltimore area reporters. On Wednesday, both Harbaugh and Pats coach Bill Belichick downplayed the impact of Pees' inside knowledge, and how that might help the Ravens.
What did Pees think of having so much inside info to draw from?

Syracuse Crunch
AHL Game Night: 2-15-14 Crunch at AdmiralsSubmitted by pete on February 15, 2014 - 22:48
John Gibson holds off the Crunch.
Cedrick Desjardins allowed 2 goals on 27 shots for the loss. He probably deserved better.

Desjardins was the game's third star. Norfolk goaltender John Gibson allowed just 1 goal on 46 shots over the 2 games this weekend. Last night was mostly a product of Syracuse's offensive ineptitude, but this time they applied more pressure and Gibson stood up to the task.

Crunch Comeback Spoiled By Falcons in OvertimeSubmitted by jghoughtaling on February 8, 2014 - 23:09
Trailing 4-2 heading into the final period, the Syracuse Crunch started to play desperate hockey.
The Crunch, who dropped eight out of the nine contests coming into the game, needed a rally. Syracuse outshot Springfield 19-2 in the third period and scored three times to force overtime.
But a shot tipped in front of goalie Allen York spoiled the Syracuse comeback, as the Falcons topped the Crunch, 6-5, at the Onondaga County War Memorial Saturday.
AHL Game Night: 2-8-14 Falcons at CrunchSubmitted by pete on February 8, 2014 - 22:25
No one can call the Syracuse Crunch quitters.
ECHL loaner Allen York allowed 6 goals on 23 shots for the OT Loss. I'll let you all speculate on whether Desjardins or Gudlevskis would have performed better under the circumstances.
First Period

SYR Mormina, (3) (Richard), 17:28
SPR Prout, (2) (Marchessault, Bass), 3:52
Dana Tyrell and Evan Rankin were the game's second and third stars.
Springfield is the top team in the Northeast Division. Syracuse is last in the East Division. Syracuse came into this game with an ECHL loaner goaltender. They came into this game without Namestnikov on top of all the other players they lost due to recalls. They fell behind 4-1 more than halfway through the Second Period. Would've been easy to make an excuse and quit. They battled back and got it to 4-2 headed into the Third Period. Then Springfield cuts the comeback off making it 5-3 with less than 6 minutes to go. "Nice try, better luck next time, boys?" No. They found a way to tie it up with 2 goals late and Panik hit a post in OT before they finally surrendered the OT winner.
Springfield is the top team in the Northeast Division. Syracuse is last in the East Division. The Crunch outshot them 41-23. No one can accuse the Syracuse Crunch of being quitters.

AHL Game Night: 2-7-14 Crunch at FalconsSubmitted by pete on February 7, 2014 - 22:59
Overmatched Crunch make a game of it.
Allen York, back in the crease with Kristers Gudlevskis being recalled to Tampa earlier in the day, allowed 4 goals on 27 shots for the loss.

SYR DiSalvatore, (6) (Paquette, Nesterov), 7:40
SPR Chaput, (11) (Marchessault, Jacques), 14:13
Jon DiSalvatore was the game's second star.
The team was without an AHL level goaltender and its top center, arguably, with Vladislav Namestnikov also being recalled earlier in the day. It just continues to be too much of a mountain for the team to climb, unfortunately.

Crunch Rookie Paquette Climbing the ChartsSubmitted by jghoughtaling on February 7, 2014 - 12:01
At the beginning of the season, Cedric Paquette classified himself as a third line center.
A defensively responsible forward that plays with an edge, Paquette knew where he was likely to find ice time. But with injuries and call-ups constantly shuffling the Syracuse Crunch lineup, the rookie has found a home where he didn't expect — on a scoring line.
Paquette has seen spot duty on the top line, but has spent most of the season on the Crunch's second unit. Forty-five games into Syracuse's season, the 20-year-old leads the team with 14 goals and is tied for first with 30 points.
"He's quickly found his way up the charts," said Crunch coach Rob Zettler. "He just does a lot of really good things. Above all the things he does well, he's a competitor. He plays hard every night, and that's why he's been successful."
AHL Game Night: 2-5-14 Crunch at AmericansSubmitted by pete on February 5, 2014 - 22:38
Syracuse snaps their winless drought.
Kristers Gudlevskis, fresh off his one day stint with the Lightning, allowed 1 goal on 22 shots for the victory.

Second Period
SYR Paquette, (13) (Rankin), 18:06

RCH Roy, (5) (Pysyk), 12:41
SYR Korobov, (1) , 19:28 (EN)
Cedric Paquette, Evan Rankin, and Gudlevskis were the game's three stars. It was the Crunch's first victory since January 17th against the Hershey Bears. In the meantime, they found themselves mired in a 0-6-0-1 slump that has likely torpedoed the team's playoff hopes. Even with the victory tonight, Syracuse is 12 points out of 8th in the Eastern Conference. Still, the Crunch can claim a mini points streak of two games and at least look to be getting their equilibrium back. You have to walk before you can run. Next up is Springfield on Friday.

Witkowski Learning from Increased Ice TimeSubmitted by jghoughtaling on February 5, 2014 - 10:19
Luke Witkowski has learned many lessons in the first half of his rookie season.
The defenseman is surrounded by quality teachers, whether its a coaching staff with decades of experience in professional hockey or the many veterans that dot the Syracuse Crunch lineup.
But sometimes, the best lessons are taught through personal experience.
"These guys help him and we try to help him as much as possible, but I think sometimes you have to live through some of those mistakes," said Crunch coach Rob Zettler. "You can tell a guy to move the puck quickly as much as you want, but sometimes he has to learn the hard way and get caught doing it."
AHL Game Day: 2-1-14 Admirals at CrunchSubmitted by pete on February 1, 2014 - 22:14
Syracuse starts February with a moral victory after facing some extreme adversity.
ECHL loaner Allan York allowed 2 goals on 31 shots before allowing 2 of 3 Norfolk shooters to convert in the penalty shot session for the SO Loss. That's better goaltending, statistically, than Syracuse has been getting lately. With their preferred backup option experiencing plane trouble, the Crunch had 40-something year old John Parks backing up York for the price of 3 crisp $100 bills and one personalized, authentic, Crunch alternate jersey, which he got to keep. These extraordinary circumstances, of course, made it a remarkable moral victory that Syracuse got a point out of the game. And, luckily, with Ben Bishop feeling well enough for the Lightning, Kristers Gudlevskis has been returned to the Crunch moving forward.
First Period
SYR DiSalvatore, (4) (Tyrell, Angelidis), 10:20
Second Period
NOR Ezekiel, (1) , 9:57
NOR Eminger, (1) (Ezekiel, Laganiere), 15:39
Third Period
SYR Tyrell, (5) , 2:05 (SH)
NOR- Grant, Etem
Dana Tyrell was the game's second star.
If the playoffs started today, Norfolk would be the 4 seed in the Eastern Conference. So, again, with an ECHL loaner and "some dude" off the street as backup, that's not an unimpressive result for the Crunch. It shows what this team is capable of pulling off when focused. Let's hope that with the disastrous month of January behind them and Gudlevskis back in the fold, Syracuse can parlay that into a good month of hockey. They face Rochester next on Wednesday.

Crunch Capture Late Momentum, But Can't Complete ComebackSubmitted by jghoughtaling on February 1, 2014 - 19:13
In the first five minutes of the third period, the Syracuse Crunch seized the momentum.
With Cedric Paquette serving a five-minute major penalty for boarding, the Syracuse penalty killers turned tide on Norfolk and scored the game-tying goal with less than 18 minutes remaining in regulation.
The Crunch searched for the go-ahead goal throughout the third period and overtime, but couldn't complete the comeback, falling to the Admirals in a shootout, 3-2, at the Onondaga County War Memorial Saturday afternoon.
"I thought our penalty killers were outstanding tonight," said Syracuse coach Rob Zettler. "I thought those guys were gaming it out, played hard, blocked shots and got us a game-tying goal, which is huge."

Chavez Trip to Americas Summit With Obama Depends on Health
Colombia's government said it expects Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to attend the Summit of the Americas this week, while Venezuela said he has yet to decide if he is fit enough to go to the meeting that will include U.S. President Barack Obama.
Because of his treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, Chavez probably won't stay the night in the Caribbean resort city of Cartagena where the summit will take place, Colombia's Foreign Minister Maria Angela Holguin said today, Bogota-based TV station NTN24 reported.
"It's complicated due to his treatment, but so far he has confirmed his attendance," Holguin said, according to NTN24. "The information we have is that if he attends, he probably won't sleep in Cartagena."
Chavez, who said last week he's traveling to Cuba for his third round of radiation treatment, hasn't decided if he's fit enough to attend the meeting with Obama and other regional heads of state on April 14 and 15, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro said. He plans to return to Venezuela on April 11 or 12 to commemorate the anniversary of the 2002 coup that briefly ousted him from power, he said April 7.
"Right now the president is dedicated to his treatment and recovery with a lot of energy and dedication," Maduro told reporters today in Quito, Ecuador. "His health is progressing positively and everything will depend on what he decides" regarding his presence at the summit.
Chavez, who has undergone three operations as part of his treatment since June, is seeking to recover from the cancer in time to campaign for re-election in October in a bid to extend his 13-year rule until 2019. The government hasn't disclosed any succession plans in case Chavez, 57, isn't healthy enough to participate in the elections.

by Jeff Woods
Gov. Bill Haslam acknowledges a state-run exchange would be cheaper for Tennessee and for insurance providers, not to mention obviously giving state government more control. But he's not sure he can go for it because he says the legislature might balk. Translation: The Brian Kelseys, Stacey Campfields and Mae Beaverses of the legislature will throw a hissy fit at the very idea of seeming to give their approval to any part of the evil ObamaCare. The federal deadline to decide this matter is Friday, and the administration still is waffling. Democrats are urging the governor to choose state control.
"The presidential election was decisive, and Obamacare is the law of the land," Senate Democratic leader Jim Kyle said in a news release. "Government closest to the people governs best, and that should be a guiding principle as we implement the new health care law."
Added Democratic caucus chairman Lowe Finney: "We have come to count on Gov. Haslam for pragmatic leadership in an environment where the legislature is increasingly partisan. It's clear that if we run the exchange, it will be cheaper for taxpayers, and it will allow our state to retain more control."
Be that as it may, we're not sure we can trust Republicans in this state to do this. The exchanges are supposed to make it easier and more affordable for people and small businesses to buy health coverage and to find out if they are eligible for tax credits. Since they are so adamantly opposed to the law, wouldn't Republicans try to sabotage the exchange, deliberately mismanaging it or skinning it down to some pointless, bare-bones menu of plans? Haslam calls state control "the lesser of two evils," meaning he's totally unenthusiastic about this whole deal. Really? What Democrats should demand is some assurances that Republicans are serious about making the exchanges work for consumers. Otherwise, let the feds do it.

Status Anxietyby Alain De Botton
Author Q & A
A Conversation with Alain de Botton
What is status anxiety?
Status anxiety is a worry about our standing in the world, whether we're going up or down, whether we're winners or losers. We care about our status for a simple reason: because most people tend to be nice to us according to the amount of status we have – if they hear we've been promoted, there'll be a little more energy in their smile, if we are sacked, they'll pretend not to have seen us. Ultimately, we worry about having no status because we're not good at remaining confident about ourselves if other people don't seem to like or respect us very much. Our 'ego' or self-conception could be pictured as a leaking balloon, forever requiring external love to remain inflated and vulnerable to the smallest pinpricks of neglect: we rely on signs of respect from the world to feel acceptable to ourselves.
When does status anxiety kick in – presumably basic sustenance needs have to be fulfilled first?
While it would be unusual to be status anxious in a famine, history shows that as soon as societies go any way beyond basic subsistence, status anxieties quickly kick in. In the modern world, status anxiety starts when we compare our achievements with those of other people we consider to be our equals. We might worry about our status when we come across an enthusiastic newspaper profile of an acquaintance (it can destroy the morning), when a close friend reveals a piece of what they naively – or plain sadistically – call 'good' news (they have been promoted, they are getting married, they have reached the bestseller list) or when we are asked what we 'do' at a party by someone with a firm handshake who has recently floated their own start-up company.
Is status anxiety at its height in the early 21st century – and why is that?
Status anxiety is certainly worse than ever, because the possibilities for achievement (sexual, financial, professional) seem to be greater than ever. There are so many more things we expect if we're not to judge ourselves 'losers.' We are constantly surrounded by stories of people who have made it. For most of history, an opposite assumption held sway: low expectations were viewed as both normal and wise. Only a very few ever aspired to wealth and fulfilment. The majority knew well enough that they were condemned to exploitation and resignation. Of course, it remains highly unlikely that we will today ever reach the pinnacle of society. It is perhaps as unlikely that we could rival the success of Bill Gates as that we could in the seventeenth century have become as powerful as Louis XIV. Unfortunately though, it no longer feels unlikely – depending on the magazines one reads, it can in fact seem absurd that one hasn't already managed to have it all.
Could David Beckham, for example, suffer from status anxiety?
Of course he does – because he compares himself to his own peer group. We all do this, and that's why we end up feeling we lack things even though we're so much better off than people ever were in the past. It's not that we're especially ungrateful, it's just we don't judge ourselves in relation to people far away. We cannot be cheered for long by how prosperous we are in historical or geographical terms. We will only take ourselves to be fortunate when we have as much as, or more than, the people we grow up with, work alongside, have as friends and identify with in the public realm. That's why the best way to feel successful is to choose friends who are just that little bit less successful than you…
What solutions are there to get us to stop worrying so much about status?
Think about death. It's the best way to stop worrying so much about what others make of you. To discover whose friendship you should really care about, ask yourself who – among your acquaintances – would make it to your hospital bedside. If need be, look at a skeleton: what others think about you will soon start to lose its intimidating power.

I'm speechless! It's incredibly beautiful! Didn't you have a desire to stay there forever? :))
Very beautiful! I remember back when I was a little girl, in the early 90's, the RS in our ward were all about making their living rooms look like a "Celestial" room. They must have all spent so much money on this endeavor, because not very many of them have updated their living rooms since. Your mom did a lovely job with the room. - Bethany
oh wow. i especially love the lace detailing on the chair.
Holy moly, those look so editorial but so comfy. I must admit I'm rather jealous!K.

Good acting (Matt Damon totally stole the movie), good scriptwriting (I am proud to say that I am one of Drew Goddard's Minions from back in the Buffy days), and the science was pretty solid.

The lady tilling her land in Romania is a peasant farmer in the County of Mehedinti
A moment in time 2334 views on 18/08/2015.
The picture was built using Faststone, Gimp and the loose brush in fotosketcher.
Machines don't exist in her life and 'everything' on the land has to be done by hand. Even so the tools that she uses are ancient and worn and most of the work is done by her own strength.
Her house is 1km uphill from the nearest well and all water has to be carried along a track that is ice and snow in winter, a raging torrent of water and mud in Spring and Autumn and loose stones and dust in summer.
If her house and property (with not a single sign of the 21st century – no water, no electricity, no sewage facilities, no rubbish collections, no made-up roads, no kitchen, no bathroom, no drainage, no toilet, were situated in the west, a bulldozer would be used to erase all existing signs of habitation (and memories) and new modern structures erected.
Her life does include good friends, beautiful views, thousands of different wildflowers, hundreds of different butterflies and birds, total freedom from the modern world and the thrill of living a life of self reliance not seen in the 'West' for hundreds of years.
This lady is happy in the lifestyle that she leads, could 'you' live this way ?

Orca Browser1.2 Build 6
editor's review
5 comments
Navigating the Internet requires a web browser and there are several choices that can be tried out. Besides the well-known players of this category, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox or Opera, there are several names that should be taken into consideration.
One of them is Orca Browser, an application that comes bundled with the necessary and sufficient features it needs to perform at a very good speed.
The user interface is simplistic and the menu bar can be viewed on the upper right corner of the screen (just like in Avant Browser).
The application offers an Online Storage feature where you can save your configurations, bookmarks, RSS feeds, web passwords, and you will be able to access this information from any computer. All you have to do is create an Orca Browser account.
You can switch to full screen or full desktop mode, organize bookmarks, manage your information in AutoFill for forms, and set up a protection password for AutoFill.
In addition, you can translate page content by using Google Translate, clear all records, customize proxy settings, enable ad blocker and popup blocker features, use a RSS reader and mouse gestures, enable auto-complete, select the search engine and URL aliases and more.
While Orca Browser seems to load faster and use less system resources than other web browsers, it also has its shortcomings. For example, after we have created an Online Storage account, we were left unattended when accessing that area (you cannot manage data in any way).
In conclusion, Orca Browser provides a simple solution for your Internet browsing needs, while excluding any complex features. Users who prefer a minimalistic approach to web browsers would get a kick out of this application.
Also available: Portable Orca Browser

Jane Goodall stages unique live, film premiere
Sep 25, 2011, 10:53 a.m.
Q: If chimps could talk what would they tell humans?
A: They would probably tell us to leave them alone, get out of the forest and protect the forest. That's probably what they would tell us to do.
Q: So what can one person do to make a difference?
A: "Each person can just spend a little bit of time each day thinking about the consequences of what you buy, what you eat, what you wear and how you interact with people. If millions of people think about the consequences, they start to change and then we achieve the kind of change we must see on this planet."
Q: What do you think has been your greatest achievement and what are you most proud of in your work?
A: "People from all over the world continue to tell me that, 'In The Shadow of the Man,' published in 52 languages, has had a lasting impact on them. Also helping people understand that animals do have personalities, minds and feelings and that they matter as individuals.
"The other accomplishment I'm most proud of is starting Roots and Shoots so we involve young people for caring for our planet before it's too late."

How are you all? Its only been a few days shy of a year. lol I hope each and everyone of you are still being creative. My Mom passed away right after my Dad last year, so its been a rough road. I'm keeping busy though… Dad left some rental properties in a trust and I'm tending to those until the trust can be settled. Mom lived with me for 12 years, she was my right arm and kept me sane!
I'm doing a little quilting now. I won't be sharing yet… lol I used to sew years ago, but it takes a bit to get back into it. Thankfully there's Pinterest, Google and and a seam ripper. Oh and then there's the new computerized sewing machines… how cool are they!!!
I will share a pic of our newest addition. Sherlock "Boo" Bazhenow was abandoned by his Momma at 3 weeks old. So of course I took him in, he was born in our shed. *smile* He loves to play boo with me, we do it every morning. He is so much fun!!!
He's no bigger than the letter holder behind him. Here he is today… not quite a year old…
I tell him he has 'gorgeous puppy dog eyes'!!! I think that's the reason for the look above.
He loves running water… especially flushing the toilet. Stands on the seat and stares at it. He is a dandy and he makes me smile!
Hugs to all… I miss ya. I found my old Google Reader account so I still have access to all of you. I'll swing by soon. Carla
Oh wait, the reason for the post… I only have 3 tutorials left to update the missing photo's on… let me know if you find any more. *smile* If anyone would have the following tutorials on your computer… could email me a copy?
I need…
- Pansy Punch Art Flowers Tutorial

Q: Congratulations on being named valedictorian! What, according to you, is the key to doing well in high school?
A:From my experience, the first thing is to choose courses of genuine interest. While the prevailing wisdom is always to take the most challenging courses, I believe that genuine passion for a topic is what drives students (at least, was what drove me) to put in the energy to go ask teachers clarifying questions after class or to organize study groups with friends.Q:Your schedule has been packed with AP courses, and yet, you've managed to be active in so many non-academic activities. How did you manage it all?A: Although it sounds counterintuitive, the busier I have been, the better I have managed my time. Having a large number of scheduled activities has forced me to operate efficiently by planning in advance and prioritizing my commitments. In addition, being part of activities that I love has given me balance and reduced stress. I also credit Netflix and the availability of my favorite series when I have some down time!Q: Tell us about your original science research project.A:I carried out a three-year science research experiment on music perception and cognition, which is the study of why humans react to music in the way that we do. Essentially, I was studying memory for a specific aspect of musical structure (key) and attempting to identify if listeners were able to remember a specific key for a given amount of time. This inquiry explored how sensitive listeners are to certain compositional techniques. For my project, I worked with a mentor at NYU's Steinhardt School of Music.Q:You traveled to China and stayed with a host family there. How long did you stay there and what was the experience like?A: Last Spring, I traveled to Shanghai, Xian, and Beijing for a two-week home stay and cultural exchange with a group from my high school. The home stay portion was particularly significant; not only did I learn colloquial Mandarin from my host sister, but also learned how to wrap jiaozi dumplings from her grandmother. As someone from a relatively young country, I was fascinated by the long and rich history of China. On one day of the trip, I had the opportunity to tour the excavation of the terracotta warriors and bike atop the ancient city wall of Xian.Q: What was your best high school moment?
A: While I should probably mention academic highlights, I must admit that one of my favorite high school moments was opening my flute case last February to find sticky letters on my keys spelling out "PROM?" My boyfriend Holden surprised me by asking in such a clever and unique way!
Q: Congratulations on being named valedictorian! What, according to you, is the key to doing well in high school?

Aeronautics Commission Finalizes $68M Statewide Airport Capital Improvement Program- Oct. 5, 2015
The Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission recently finalized its statewide airport Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for fiscal years 2016 through 2018 which will result in increased construction activities for the next three years at two dozen Oklahoma public airports. Under the program, $68 million in improvements are planned at airports across the state.
Funding for the CIP will come from three sources: the Federal Aviation Administration will provide $48 million through the Airport Improvement Program, the Aeronautics Commission will provide $11 million and the airport sponsors (cities) will provide $9 million.
Major projects are planned at several airports, including Oklahoma City's Wiley Post Airport, Tulsa's R.L. Jones-Riverside Airport, Durant's Eaker Field (shown pictured), Lawton-Ft. Sill Regional Airport, Bristow's Jones Memorial Airport, Stillwater Regional Airport and Claremore Regional Airport. Read more.
Pilots Needed to Keep Oklahoma and Nation Flying High
By Victor Bird, Director of the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission - Sept. 25, 2015
When you think of Oklahoma, "oil and gas" often comes to mind. We have a long and proud history with the energy industry; so, with the decline of oil prices making local and national headlines, you might assume the Oklahoma economy will mirror these hard times.
Forecasts do in fact show state revenues dropping sharply due to oil's collapse from last year's high. However, Oklahoma's economy is not as dependent on oil and gas prices as it was in the 1980s, and is much more diversified today. One of the main engines for this diversification is Aerospace.
As our nation celebrates National Aerospace Week this week, we have a great opportunity to reflect on the substantial impact aerospace and aviation has had and will continue to have in Oklahoma.
Currently, the state is home to Tinker Air Force Base (the largest military aircraft repair facility in the world with 27,000 employees and the state's largest single-site employer), the FAA's Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center (the nerve center of our nation's aviation industry) and American Airlines maintenance and engineering base in Tulsa (the largest commercial aircraft repair facility in the world). In total, the aerospace and defense industry employs more than 120,000 Oklahomans and is considered one of the top five industries in the state.
But what is aerospace without planes? And what are planes without pilots? Regrettably, the United States is experiencing a pilot shortage, causing commercial flight cancellations and problems across the nation. Has the memory of excited children telling everyone on the playground they can't wait to be a pilot when they grow up faded?
With a heritage that includes the likes of Wiley Post and Tom Stafford – two of the greatest pilots to ever fly – no other state is better positioned than Oklahoma to answer this critical call to action.
Being a pilot is just as important and thrilling today as we thought it would be when we were on the swing set as kids. A highly skilled career, pilots are gifted with the honor of transporting lives safely and the opportunity to literally travel the world, all while having great earning potential, garnering the respect of travelers and playing a critical role in our global economy.
Unlike oil and gas that are global commodities and largely outside of our control, this is an issue we can directly impact. I urge our policy makers, the leaders of the twelve Oklahoma colleges and universities that offer aerospace programs and all Oklahomans to join me in doing all we can to help recruit and train the pilots of tomorrow. As we address our nation's need for pilots, we will also be propelling our state to even greater heights for years to come.

It was one of those movies where the audience actually applauded at the end. I thought it was extremely well done -- compelling story, great acting, phenomenal FX. Ridley Scott made a great movie. The one scene that really shocked and made me question the science behind it was when they used a parachute to cover the open nose cone of a rocket for a space launch from Mars. Is that really possible? Mars has an atmosphere, wouldn't anyone inside the capsule be killed?

It's official: Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signs $9.2 billion budget
PHOENIX — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday signed the Legislature's $9.23
billion budget for the fiscal year starting July 1, calling it principled and
fiscally prudent and a step in the right direction because it adds spending for
child welfare services.
But the Republican governor used her line-item veto power to cut some spending,
including $1.3 million to help counties who will see lower revenue because of a
bill eliminating electricity taxes for manufacturers that she signed earlier in
the day. Other cuts include $1 million for special technical education high
schools, money for northern Arizona law enforcement and part of the money
allocated for a new English language learning software program.
The largest item in the budget is for K-12 schools, spending $3.8 billion, $189
million more than the current year. Other top spending areas include the state's
Medicaid plan at $1.3 billion, $768 million for universities and $72 million for
community colleges.
The state will also spend nearly $1 billion on prisons, a $25 million increase
from the fiscal 2014 spending plan.
Overall, Brewer called the more than $57 million in additional spending for
child welfare "a significant step in the right direction for our state."
But she reminded lawmakers that they had agreed to revisit the child welfare
issue and its funding once a report is released on setting up a new agency to
take over from the old Child Protective Services. Brewer ordered CPS separated
from its parent agency in January after the discovery of more than 6,500
uninvestigated child abuse and neglect cases.
Some of her line-item vetoes targeted spending she believed wasn't needed now
and could be better used when the new agency is formally created. That included
an extra $200,000 for the state ombudsman office to handle additional work from
the new agency.
"A new agency must have the resources it needs to succeed in its core mission
to safeguard Arizona's abused and neglected children," she said in a veto
letter to House Speaker Andy Tobin. "Furthermore, I have line-item vetoed
certain appropriations in the budget in order to maintain a fiscally prudent
spending plan and preserve crucial resources for our reform efforts. Child
safety is a core focus, and our state budget must reflect that."
Senate President Andy Biggs, R-Gilbert, chafed at the governor's veto of the
money for the ombudsman's office, which investigates complaints of government
He said the ombudsman's office helps people who cannot afford to hire attorneys
and noted that a third of all cases that are heard by the office are related to
the child welfare agency.
"If people believe state government is encroaching and taking away their
rights, the ombudsman office is supposed to be there for them to complain and
resolve problems."
A group of lawmakers and others are working with Brewer's staff to write
legislation to make that executive order permanent and expect to release it by
May 1. Brewer is expected to call a special legislative session when that report
is ready to formally created the agency and ensure it has needed funding.
In all, Brewer cut more than $4 million from the budget, including $10,000 for
an airstrip in northern Arizona which she said had an unclear state purpose and
added liability and operating costs.
House Speaker Andy Tobin, R-Paulden, said he was disheartened by Brewer's veto
of the money to replace revenue counties are losing because of the elimination
of taxes on electricity and natural gas purchases made by manufacturers.
"We were just trying to level the playing field for them," Tobin said.
He was also disappointed by her vetoing extra funding for rural career and
technical education programs for high school students, saying that rural
communities often incur extra costs for transportation.
"That was something our rural folks really wanted," he said.
The $1.3 million appropriation for counties was negotiated by rural lawmakers
who worried that Brewer's proposal to cut sales tax charges to manufacturers and
smelters would hurt local budgets. Brewer signed Senate Bill 1413 on Friday
morning in a move she said was needed to make the state more attractive to large
The power tax cut is expected to cost the state general fund at least $17
million a year.
In her veto letter, Brewer called the appropriation an "unnecessary
appropriation" because the loss to individual counties would be so small.
"More importantly, this appropriation would have set a policy precedent that
would undermine future efforts to improve the competitiveness of Arizona's tax
The House and Senate spent three weeks fighting over the budget proposal before
reaching a compromise on Monday. The overall spending plan is about $133 million
less than Brewer requested and does not make the $50 million deposit she wanted
into the state's rainy day fund.

Insuring parish buildings costs $2 million this year
Published: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 1:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 1:55 p.m.
HOUMA It will cost $2.12 million to insure parish buildings and property this year, roughly 10 percent more than it did in 2008.
The Terrebonne Parish Council unanimously agreed to purchase the property-insurance package, paying $190,000 more for $50 million in coverage.
The parish paid $1.93 million in 2008 for $75 million in coverage.
The trend is something that customers throughout the state have had to contend with, as insurance companies hike their prices to
offset losses incurred after Hurricane Katrina and the storms that followed.
To get the same level of protection as in 2008, officials said, they would have had to pay an
additional $125,000.
Parish government has $289 million worth of assets, said Dana Ortego, parish Human Resources and Risk Management director.
Some council members, including Clayton Voisin, questioned whether a better deal could be secured, but Eddie Murphy, of the New Orleans-based insurance brokerage firm Arthur J. Gallagher and Co., assured him thats not the case.
Other council members, including Council Chairwoman Arlanda Williams, said they are pleased with the package.
Although the cost increased, fees for insurance brokers dipped.
This year taxpayers paid a flat broker rate of $50,000.
Last year, Arthur J. Gallagher and Co. was paid $91,937.
