Sprint tackles iPhone, offers 99-cent songs
updated 03:25 pm EDT, Mon March 26, 2007
Sprint UpStage and Store
Sprint today launched a two-pronged assault on Apple's still unreleased iPhone by releasing both a new phone and an aggressive new music strategy. Confirming earlier leaks, the UpStage is intended to be music-friendly without sacrificing calling ability, as one side features a larger screen and controls for music or videos and the other holds a 1.3-megapixel camera, the more traditional cellphone keypad, and a basic display. Up to 2GB of music can be stored on a microSD card. New in the official announcement is news of a unique battery wallet: inserting the UpStage into the case both guards it against damage and boosts talk time to 6.3 hours, Sprint says. The carrier plans to bundle the UpStage with a 64MB microSD card when it ships in early April at a price of $149 with a two-year service plan.
More aggressive still, however, is the company's online initiative. In a simultaneous announcement, the provider has revealed that the Sprint Music Store is more than halving the price of its music downloads. Subscribers to the company's data plans will have the option of buying music directly from their phones at 99 cents per song -- the lowest price ever for a wireless music store, Sprint says. The service will still let owners receive a second copy of a song for their PCs and is matched by Sprint's new Music Manager tool for quickly copying a PC's songs to the UpStage and other phones through USB.
The new prices will take effect at the same time as the UpStage reaches shops in April; buying songs at the 99-cent rate will require one of Sprint's two new data plans: the $15 per month Power Vision Access Pack will bring ten live radio streams and special pre-recorded video content, while the $20 per month Power Vision Music Pack ups the Internet radio channels to fifty and adds a streaming Internet TV channel for music. Both will come with unlimited data use and up to ten free songs per week.
While the UpStage doesn't directly challenge the iPhone and its $499 price point, the new online music store pricing may create an additional challenge for Apple, which has never faced direct competition with cellphone-based stores due to their frequently expensive pricing methods. The iTunes Store is currently the only confirmed source of online music downloads for the iPhone and currently requires purchasing songs exclusively from the computer.
Apple hasn't announced any plans to allow downloads direct to the phone or synchronizing with a local computer through Wi-Fi.

Superfund Program
To stay informed about MPCA cleanup related issues and activities, sign up for emails through GovDelivery.
The Superfund Program identifies, investigates and determines appropriate cleanup plans for abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous waste sites where a release or potential release of a hazardous substance poses a risk to human health or the environment.
Superfund does not deal with Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) sites or petroleum storage tank releases.
Primary users of the Superfund Program are industries that generated or transported, and then disposed of or arranged for disposal of hazardous substances. Owners/operators of facilities where a release of hazardous materials occurred also are brought into the program. These parties are usually referred to as "responsible parties," or "RPs" for short.
Services are also provided to residents surrounding Superfund sites and to community groups, attorneys and consultants/contractors working for responsible parties, local governments and development agencies, lenders and property developers, and other state and federal agencies.

Harmful Substance Compensation Program
The Harmful Substance Compensation Program (HSCP) was created to compensate persons who suffer certain kinds of injury or property damage from exposure to harmful substances in Minnesota. The HSCP was established to provide an administrative alternative to filing lawsuits against the person or company responsible for the damage. Decisions on compensation are made by the Commissioner of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, who receives advice as necessary from experts, including physicians knowledgeable in toxicology, health professionals knowledgeable about injuries caused by harmful substances, and staff from the state Attorney General's office.
For more information about the HSCP, contact Gary Krueger at 651-757-2509.

It's difficult to manage money if you can't manage your time
Just think about it. When would you even have time to do a budget or come up with a plan to pay down your debts when you�re wired in all kinds of ways to your job?
Technology has made us so readily accessible to our places of employment that it sucks time from our private lives. Time you need to fix your finances or clean your home or visit with friends. Or just take a nap.
We are so hyped from being technologically connected 24/7 that before we know it, we�ve lost track of time. I�ve become so Twitter-obsessed that I lose track of the tasks I plan to do. One tweet takes me to another that takes me to dozens of articles, mostly about personal finance.
But I�ve found a book that challenged me to examine my life so that I can make the most of the time I have. We all have the same number of hours in a day. So ask yourself if you are using them wisely. My finances might be in order, but I need to cut something out so I can get more sleep. You may be concerned about your money, but are you doing what it takes to stop being so frazzled about it?
If you answered no, you�ll find some help in the Color of Money Book Club pick for this month, �Say Goodbye to Survival Mode� (Nelson Books, $22.99) by Crystal Paine.
Paine, who runs the popular website MoneySavingMom.com, writes: �While I was trying to help people with their money and budget problems, I realized I couldn�t address their financial struggles until I first helped these women deal with deeper issues, such as a lack of purpose, a loss of perspective, and a sense of hopelessness.�
Here are some questions Paine says you should ask yourself:
Do you struggle with having so many things you want to do but not the motivation to get them done?
Do you put unrealistic expectations on yourself to have and do it all?
Do you have trouble figuring out the right priorities, especially as they relate to your finances?
�You don�t have to stay perpetually overwhelmed and exhausted, barely existing in survival mode, anymore,� she says. �You can start living with direction and passion.�
The direction Paine promises is delivered in nine strategies to bring order and purpose into your life. Here are a few:
Create a personal priorities list. Not to fear, this isn�t another thing to add to your to-do list. It�s a way to organize what�s important so you have a plan going forward. We are all so tired and unable to tackle the things that really matter to us because we try to do it all.
Create a daily routine that builds your schedule around your priorities. �Living with purpose means wisely choosing and committing to a few of the best things for the season of life you�re in,� Paine writes. This tip alone deserves a big �amen.� If you have a lot of child care expenses right now, then this may not be the season when you can eat out a lot or take expensive vacations. That�s how you make a budget work. Pick and choose the things you can afford based on the season you�re in.
Be SMART, an acronym meaning set specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound goals that have an end date. You might be inclined to roll your eyes. Don�t, because goal-setting works. �If you don�t know where you�re aiming, you�re going to lack direction and purpose,� Paine says.
Be intentional with your money. Part of being intentional is developing a budget and living not within your means but below your means.
I chose this book because I know people have the desire to become better money managers but they don�t have the energy because they�re overwhelmed. Paine helps clear the clutter.
�You can�t change your financial situation unless you also change the way you�re doing something,� she writes.

California passed a ruling on Jan. 27 requiring that 15 percent of new cars sold in the state meet a strict emissions standard of zero to near-zero emissions by 2015.
Many environmental groups are praising the decision, which will require Californians to buy more electric, hybrid and hydrogen vehicles.
I was once enthusiastic about these cars, too.
About 20 years ago, CNN showcased an alternative-fuel vehicle that I built with my own hands. I drove back and forth in front of the camera, smiling from behind the wheel of my two-seater electric and natural gas hybrid. I thought it was an especially beneficial solution to our environmental challenges. I was wrong.
What counts as an alternative-energy vehicle and what doesn't is hardly a straightforward reckoning. For instance, is an electric car a true alternative if its drivetrain is powered ultimately by coal, nuclear power and lithium strip mines rather than petroleum? When the Royal Society of Chemistry ran the numbers, it found that fully adopting electric cars in Britain would only reduce the country's CO2 emissions by about 2 percent.
Electric vehicles don't eliminate the negative side effects of vehicular travel. They simply move the problems elsewhere — often to contexts where they become more opaque and difficult to address. When we start to exchange one set of side effects for another, the exchange rates become confusing. This opens a space for public relations firms, news pundits, environmentalists and others to step in and define the terms of exchange to their liking.
For instance, electric vehicle manufacturers claim that customers can fill up for 10 cents a kilowatt-hour, which they say works out to pennies on the mile. But if buyers intend to drive their electric car beyond the length of the extension cord from their garage, they won't be able to take advantage of that cheap electricity. They'll have to rely on a battery — a battery they can only recharge a finite number of times before it must be replaced, at considerable expense.
The battery-construction step, not the "fuel" step, is the expensive part of driving an electric vehicle. Advanced batteries cost so much to fabricate that the 10-cent-a-kilowatt-hour "fuel" cost to charge them becomes negligible.
Even though electric vehicles are moving to cheaper batteries, the costs of exhuming their required minerals extends far beyond simple dollars and cents. It takes a lot of fossil fuel to craft a battery.
An analysis by the National Academies concludes that the environmental damage stemming from grid-dependent hybrids and electric vehicles will be greater than that of traditional gasoline-driven cars until at least 2030, even when assuming favorable technological advances.
At current battery-production levels, mining activities already draw fire from local environmental and human rights organizations that are on the ground to witness the worst of the atrocities.
Even if mining companies clean up their operations (which at least will require much stricter international regulations) and engineers increase battery storage capacity (which they will, very slowly) there is still a bigger problem looming on the horizon: Alternative-fuel vehicles stand to define and spread patterns of "sustainable living" that cannot be easily sustained without cars.
Cars enable people to spread out into patterns of suburban development, which induces ecological consequences beyond the side effects of the vehicle itself. Even the most efficient hybrid or electric cars can't resolve the larger ecological impacts of sprawl. In fact, their green badges of honor might even help them fuel it.
For a time, this may not pose a problem, but eventually it will. Sprawl has positive and negative effects on Americans, but its intensification is clearly at odds with the long-term ideals of the environmental movement.
The suburban architecture of fully disengaged homes and megastores, connected by wide streets and highways, has prompted a mass deployment of energy resources that would have been unthinkable just a generation before its formation. It is from within the suburban addiction that Americans grew to understand extreme energy waste as perfectly normal.
This life isn't just wasteful. It's expensive, too. Relatively efficient city dwellers end up subsidizing new suburban road construction, power lines, sewers, and water mains — at a cost of about $13,426 a suburbanite, according to a recent study.
Upon closer consideration, shifting from gasoline to electric vehicles starts to appear synonymous with switching a smoking habit from cloves to menthols.
Even with all of the hype surrounding hybrid and electric vehicles, these machines are becoming somewhat of a cliche in some circles. Hybrid and electric vehicles may offer partial solutions within certain contexts, but those contexts are looking to be frightfully limited.
It isn't acceptable for doctors to promote menthol cigarettes. Should environmentally minded people promote alternatively fueled automobiles? Some community groups are saying "No." They're showing how concerned citizens are better achieving their environmental objectives by supporting more durable options such as walkable neighborhoods, bicycling infrastructure, carpooling, traffic calming (incorporating physical features to slow or reduce traffic — wider sidewalks, roundabouts, etc.), and comfortable public transit.
These transportation strategies have a proven track record of success in cities across the globe. Beyond their greening impact, they also can make cities more vibrant, affordable and pleasant places to live.
Green strategies that improve people's lived experience, rather than emptying their wallets, have the potential to catch on.
Now that's genuinely energizing.

GDP data fail to reveal the truthComment on this story
Every so often there comes a time when figures begin to sound meaningless relative to the everyday reality of many South Africans.
Yesterday's figures showing that in the second quarter South Africa narrowly averted recession are meaningless. Unsurprisingly, most economists were hard-pressed to trumpet them as signalling some sort of reprieve. But judging from the past, these latest gross domestic product (GDP) figures will most possibly lull us into believing that all is well that seems well.
Yet, the reality is that for many South Africans the question of "recession or no recession" is an academic one.
News that the economy did not officially slip into recession in the second quarter is of no real significance if one considers that South Africa continues to tip the scales in unemployment, poverty and inequality.
Just by those three standards, it is easy to argue that the economic expansion of 0.6 percent in the second quarter just means more of the same. At best, the figure suggests that the economy is muddling along, meaning that with the right policy interventions in the months or years ahead, and with a bit of luck, we should hope for better growth.
At worst, the economy's current trajectory means South Africa faces serious growth risks, especially if we were to see a major dislocation on the global front. In simple English, an economy that is barely growing is as good as stagnant. And this is what policymakers need to be perceptive about. It is a tragedy that while we, in fact, know full well the causes of this stagnation, there appears to be little or no appreciation of the inherent risks associated with an economy that is sputtering along the precipice.
It is probably high time that we considered an economic stimulus of sorts because signs are out there for all to see that the economic engine is bereft of the necessary fuel to bring the National Development Plan to life. Whatever is envisaged through infrastructure plans, industrial policy, trade and so on will come to nought if we are unable to get the basics right.
The basics should evolve around creating a climate that is conducive to doing business by instilling confidence, more so on the domestic front. There should also be a focus on solutions to leverage the masses of South Africans who remain economic bystanders.
If the economy continues on the path that it is currently on, both the government and business stand to lose, and when either side loses, the country will lose big.
What also needs to be understood is that economic stagnation is not something that suddenly sneaks up on a country. In the case of South Africa, our history has a lot to do with the current state of affairs, where nobody really wants to take responsibility to get the economy moving. The government blames business and business blames the government. So it's a stalemate.
Until there is a co-ordinated approach to stabilising the economy, we should much rather get used to seeing economic figures that bear no real meaning about what is actually happening on the ground. The country has just witnessed the collapse of African Bank, a phenomenon that has not sufficiently been explained as to why it happened.
It is reasonable to argue that had the economic environment been more sound, African Bank's day of reckoning might have been somewhat delayed. It is a canary in the coal mine.
Its cataclysmic demise carries more meaning about the extent of the problems that our economy faces than does the latest GDP reading.
Even so, it is not lost to those with a keen eye that the government is increasingly becoming the only show in town when it comes to underpinning the economy.
Folks at Econometrix, an economic analysis firm, have rightfully pointed that had it not been for an improvement in the contribution of increased spending in the public sector, the economy would have been in recession in the second quarter.
All told, the economy has not escaped from anything: it continues to be a "more of the same" kind of economy, requiring a drastic overhaul to get it to work. South Africa has recently moved from being the number one economy in Africa in terms of size to being second-largest behind Nigeria. Yes, size does matter, and South Africa must not now become the most sluggish economy in Africa.

Set in a small town in the backwoods of Kentucky, the story of Roland Thatcher family man, business man, and man of God, who doesn't take kindly to strangers. When a group of city kids sets up camp on the outskirts of his property, they spark a chain of events culminating in bloodshed, dismemberment and mass murder. As a local, fledgling reporter inches closer to the Thatcher property, the shocking truth about Roland and his 'family' may finally emerge in the 2011 indie horror film Red River directed by Jacob Ennis (Stash, Haunted Kentucky: Spirits of the Bluegrass).
This film may very well be the worse movie I have seen so far this year featuring dreadful acting, unbearable writing, and a story so cliché and predictable you will feel as if you were once tricked into watching this atrocious movie before. Red River attempts to pay homage to 70s style exploitation but ends up simply producing yet another uninspired and unneeded film. The only strong point that Red River manages to create is some pretty brutal practical special effects, but this is not nearly enough to save it from itself.
The main baddie Roland Thatcher has to be the most annoying serial killer to ever walk the earth, he requires a voice box to speak much like "South Park"'s Ned and when he fails to place it up to his throat he instead makes the most irritating sounds known to man. There are times when he is chasing victims through the wilderness sounding like a hundred year old man with the worse case of super flu known to man forcing you to seriously consider muting the sound until he stops trying to work the snot loose from his throat. On top this annoyance we are also forced into endless dialog containing the most cliché and outdated "redneck" stereotypical humor that I have been subjected to in sometime. I would much rather be forced to listen to "Larry the Cable Guy" records on repeat for days on end then ever have to sit through the feeble attempts of humor made during the runtime of Red River again.
As I mentioned above Red River only has one strong point and that is some pretty gory splatter style special effects that will remind you of the hay day of low budget gore you that you may of fell in love with during the '70s and '80s. The special effects really make you want to like this film but as hard as you may try to tell yourself it is not as bad as it seems you just can't trick yourself into not being absolutely miserable during its entire runtime.
Overall I simply cannot recommend this movie to anyone and would advise you not bother wasting your time with this one. Die hard gore hounds with nothing better to do may find some joy out of Red River, but in the end it's just not worth having to sit through one of the most boring cookie cutter horror films I have seen in some time.

|Heart failure determines the myocardial inflammatory response to injury.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23143795 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|AIMS: Systemic complications after cardiac surgery are common in heart failure patients. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms, such as a different local inflammatory response of failing hearts, remain in question. This study examines whether failing hearts respond differently to cardioplegic arrest and reperfusion compared with non-failing hearts (controls). METHODS AND RESULTS: The inflammatory response was evaluated in samples collected simultaneously from the radial artery and coronary sinus, and myocardial tissue in 62 patients undergoing cardiac surgery. No myocardial release of inflammatory mediators was observed upon reperfusion in controls (n = 19). In contrast, in patients with heart failure, reperfusion was characterized by a myocardial release of several cytokines. Myocardial interleukin-6 was 115% increased in non-ischaemic heart failure (n = 18, P = 0.002) as compared with a 117% increase in patients with ischaemic heart failure (n = 25, P = 0.01). Furthermore, a myocardial release of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 was observed in both patient groups: a 109% (P = 0.001) and 114% (P = 0.01) increase in patients with non-ischaemic heart failure and ischaemic heart failure, respectively. Post-operative myocardial damage, expression of inflammatory mediators, and p65-nuclear factor-κB activity were similar in all patient groups. Inflammatory cell content was increased in early ischaemic myocardial tissue in both heart failure groups compared with controls. CONCLUSION: Heart failure patients show a clear myocardial inflammatory response upon reperfusion, probably explained by degranulation of infiltrated inflammatory cells. Results in controls indicate that they better withstand cardioplegic arrest and reperfusion without an explicit myocardial inflammatory response.

This impressive medieval fortress has evolved from its 14th-century origins into a grand home complete with an 18th-century servants' hall and interiors furnished in 16th- to 19th-century styles. However, it still looks satisfyingly medieval from the outside—and also below ground, where you tour the original dungeons. Surrounding the castle are beautiful formal gardens and parkland.

If travelling to Brussels any day upto and including Monday 30th November, please follow the link below
At 2300m there's no need to worry about a lack of snow in Europe's highest resort. Val Thorens is the uppermost resort of the vast world-renowned Three Valleys ski area, with links to more slopes than you could ever hope to ski in a week. And while it may not be the prettiest of resorts it is pretty much guaranteed snow.
Val Thorens lies at the top of one of the valleys, above Les Menuires and St Martin de Belleville. The immediate ski area is more suited to beginner and intermediate skiing, but advanced or expert skiers have the whole of the Three Valleys at their ski tips. It's also next to the "fourth valley", at the bottom of which you can uncover the hidden gem that is Orelle.
When the weather's bad, head over to Méribel or Courchevel where you can enjoy skiing among trees, which can really help in poor visibility.
As a purpose-built resort Val Thorens doesn't offer much daytime entertainment for non skiers, although there is a free concert in the church every week, a leisure centre and some good local markets.
Val Thorens attracts a younger crowd and has some brilliant bars and clubs. The new Folie Douche on the mountain is where all the action kicks off, or for something quieter try the Rhum Box.
There's a good range of eateries in Val Thorens with options for most tastes and budgets. The Michelin starred Residence Oxalys is a top pick, while for something more modest you can head to a restaurant like La Chaumière.
Val Thorens is surprisingly lively for a high altitude resort. A British favourite is the Frog and Roast Beef at the top of the resort, and another popular choice is the Underground nightclub which runs into the early hours of the morning.
There are several good hotels in Val Thorens but chalets and apartments are the preferred accommodation choice. The Hotel Fitz Roy is the town's only 4 star hotel and the imaginatively named Hotel Val Thorens is a popular choice too.
When the weather closes in on Val Thorens you don't want to be on the upper slopes. It's extremely exposed and bleak so head down towards Les Menuires and St Martin where there are more trees to give shelter.

Ob-Irtysh River
The Ob-Irtysh River is the seventh longest river in the world.
The Ob-Irtysh River is the 7th longest river in the world at 3,364 miles. It originates at the junction of the Biya and Katun rivers, in the Altai Mountains in Western Siberia, Russia and ends in the Gulf of Ob which is a long bay of the Kara Sea which adjoins the Arctic Ocean.
Image via Wikipedia
The Ob and Irtysh Rivers are really two separate rivers but share the same drainage basin so geographers lump them together. The two rivers join together long before the Gulf of Ob. Other main tributaries of the Ob-Irtysh River include the Tom, the Chulym, the Ket, the Tym, the Vakh, the Vasyugan, and the Sosva Rivers.
Image via Wikipedia
The main river basin of the Ob-Irtysh consists mostly of steppe, taiga, swamps, tundra, and semi-desert topography.
Image via Wikipedia
The floodplains of the Ob are characterized by many tributaries and lakes. The river freezes over for 4 to 5 months every year but the area can get hot in the Summer and is popular for sightseers and does have tourist hotels along its sandy beach stretches.
The main uses of the Ob-Irtysh River are for irrigation, drinking water, hydroelectric energy, and fishing.
The river has more than 50 species of fish including sturgeon, sterlyad, nelma, muksun, chirs, sig, peled, zander, pike, ide, burbot, dace, roach, karen, and perch. Grapes, Melons and watermelons are grown along some parts of the river. Wildlife includes giant sea eagles and many different varieties of gulls, ducks and other waterfowl.
Major cities along the Ob-Irtysh include Barnaul, Novoaltaysk, Stone-on-Ob, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Kolpashevo, Nizhnevartovsk, Surgut, Salekhard, Labytnangi, Tobolsk, and Tyumen.
A series of canals connects the Ob-Irtysh with the Yenisei River which is also located in Siberia and is the 5th longest river in the world but just 81 miles longer than the Ob-Irtysh.
The Ob-Irtysh River faces the same concerns many rivers around the world and particularly Asia face – pollution. As once remote areas become more open to industrialization, rivers like the Ob-Irtysh face increasing pollution risks.

ARE, Sweden, Dec 20 (Reuters) – American teenager Mikaela Shiffrin made the most of some big name absences to take her first World Cup victory in an Alpine skiing slalom in Are on Thursday.
With Austrian world champion Marlies Schild injured and overall World Cup holder Lindsey Vonn of the United States taking a break until the New Year, the 17-year-old won with a combined time of one minute and 45.36 seconds.
Sweden's Frida Hansdotter, the first run pacesetter, was second and 0.29 seconds adrift while Slovenia's World Cup leader Tina Maze was third, 0.52 off the pace.
"My heart just stopped and it will take me a year to realise what I've just done. I was just trying to fly," said former junior world bronze medallist Shiffrin, who had only twice before stood on the World Cup podium.
Shiffrin, who was third in a slalom in Levi, Finland, last month and also third in the Austrian resort of Lienz a year ago, delivered a perfect second leg to fend off the challenge of her more experienced rivals in the last race before Christmas.
"Now I'm probably going to hug my mum a lot. My Dad will also be coming over for Christmas. I'll try to calm down and prepare for Semmering," added the skier from Burke Mountain Academy in Vermont.
The women have two more races in the Austrian resort next week before the end of the year.
While she is not the youngest skier to win a World Cup race — several women having done so at 16 – Shiffrin is the third youngest American to do so after Kiki Cutter and Judy Nagel and certainly one of the big talents to emerge in recent years.
Maze's third place left her leading the World Cup overall standings with 919 points, 387 more than nearest rival Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany.
"It was the last race before Christmas and I really meant to finish on a high note. But now is more than time for me to rest," said the Slovenian.
Schild flew back to Austria for checks after falling in morning practice.
"On one of the bumps, I lost control and I landed on my back. I was blocked by a ski. For the time being I feel pain in the back and in the right knee," she said on the Austrian Ski Team website.
It was a bad day generally for the Austrians as Kathrin Zettel, winner of the previous World Cup slalom in Aspen, failed to complete the first run while the best placed member of the team was Michaela Kirchgasser, who was suffering from flu and finished ninth.

Solar power ignites Lenape students' interests
MANOR — Some area elementary students learned on Tuesday how to unleash the power of the sun and discovered that science also can unleash a whole lot of fun.
Throughout much of the afternoon, fourth-graders at Lenape Elementary School learned about the advantages of solar power in the production of electricity.
The hands-on lesson was part of a Pennsylvania State University sponsored program called Green Environmental Challenger for Kids Outreach (GECKO).
Program coordinator Debbie Novak and PSU students Emily Bolewitz and Diamond Barnett talked to students about renewable and nonrenewable power sources and provided students with parts to assemble solar-powered toy cars.
Novak asked students in Sue Girardi's classroom why solar power is considered a renewable source.
About a dozen hands shot up.
"Because the sun lasts and lasts and lasts," said student Layne Balla.
In Girardi's classroom, four teams of students worked together assembling and demonstrating how to make their car move across the floor using a light source.
Principal Tom Dinga and Assistant Principal Paula Kijowski stopped by as each team tested their car's ability.
Layne took a turn aiming the flashlight's beam over the car and stretched his arm to keep pace as the vehicle zipped past a yardstick.
The rest of his team cheered.
As the demonstration wrapped up, several students asked if they could do more experiments.
Girardi noted that the hands-on lesson demonstrates environmental awareness and correlates with state standards.
She also pointed out how much fun science can be for kids.
"Science is exciting," she said.

Butt Workout For Women: Tighten, Tone, and Buff Up Your Booty
I once heard a woman say she wants her butt to be like her boobs… lifted. There are few body parts which can make a woman feel more confident and sexy than the butt. Besides a fit booty's appeal, your butt or gluteus maximus is part of a huge muscle complex in your body.
This means by exercising it, stimulating lean muscle growth, and using it, you can melt more calories and ultimately more body fat.
At the end of this article, I'll have a workout you can use called the Rock Your Rump. But first I want to teach about the fundamental exercises and some specialized exercises that target your glutes and shape it up.
The Fundamental Exercises To Shape A Sexy Rear
1. The Squat
You are most likely very familiar with a squat motion. Here are few pictures to help show you correct form.
The squat is so powerful because it isolates your legs as the prime movers, but your entire body is required for stability.
A few squat secrets to help really engage your butt:
- Push from your heels. Keep your body weight and center of gravity close to your heels when you squat. This will ensure that you are using the right muscles and bringing in your glutes more.
- Go deep. Most magazines and other websites will tell you to stop at parallel during your squat. However, I say work on going further. The lower you can go, the more muscle activation you'll see.
- Start with the right progression. If you are just getting back into exercising, then start with bodyweight. Get really good at that and then you can begin to add some resistance.
The squat is a go to butt shaper.
2. The Lunge
The lunge is an amazing exercise. There are so many variations, it's nearly impossible to go through them all. However, it isolates your butt and hamstrings a little more making it a great butt exercise.
Here are some pictures of a good lunge position.
Here are some lunge secrets you can use to target your booty more:
- Keep your upper body straight and perpendicular to the floor. Good form is vital to really ensure the right muscles are doing the work.
- When you push up, push from the heel or the foot fully on the ground first then the toe or your back leg.
- Lunge big. Go for a big stride lunge. I have always found the bigger my stride, the more my butt is targeted.
- Learn the variations. There are so many great variations of the lunge… even if it's just lunging up a hill or even down a hill… everything works to target your body a little differently.
The lunge is a butt sculpting must.
3. The Hip Extension
This is another exercise which targets your butt more, but also uses the core which is a great benefit. There are many variations to the hip extension as well, but we'll just look at the common bodyweight one first.
Here are some hip extension tips to help you get the most booty burn and sculpting action going:
- When you raise your hips, raise them high and keep your body straight. This really ensures you hit your butt and hamstrings.
- Push from your heels to lift your hip complex. I think it really helps to lift up your toes which ensures you get that good hip push.
- You can do this one leg at a time by holding a left up in the air. It works great to increase intensity.
- To increase range of motion, you can put your upper body on a bend or ledge and that will let your hips travel further.
Variations use weight and more resistance to really blast your backside. It's a great exercise to help with your butt sculpting.
The Pilates Style Butt Exercises
Finally, you have the pilates style exercises which are holds and small gyrations in your legs to fatigue your butt. These are great exercises and you should use them, but they are much different from the ones we talked about above.
The exercises above will directly build lean muscle mass in your glutes and hamstrings. This gives your butt shape and mass to help burn fat. Plus you can make the above exercises very cardiovascular for a more fat burning touch.
Pilates style exercises are what you call strength endurance because you will hold a position for a long time. These are great to and hit the muscle in a completely new way.
Remember that change is the key to inducing response. You just have to push yourself too.
Here is that butt workout – Rock Your Rump – to test out. Concentrate on form and you'll find you get the booty burn just as you want.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Another Day, Another Gun Control Poll
This one from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell:
The [national] poll, released on Wednesday, says a more than three out of four people surveyed favor a requirement of more-through background checks prior to gun purchases, including in-depth psychological exams, and for closing the ãgun-hole loopholeã that allows purchases at gun shows without the same types of background checks with other gun sales.
The survey had 78 percent in favor of increased background checks and 80 percent favoring closing the gun-show loophole.
Sixty percent support the banning of sales of assault-type weapons.
I suspect that this one will be quoted from a lot by the anti-gun media.
Complete poll results here.

Made-to-measure pollstering, at Lowell?
Quinnipiac must be laying off, or something.
on 15 May 2014 at 6:51 am # RL
Not sure I know what a "gun-hole loophole" is, but leaving aside the perennial problem of reporters who don't speak English, never mind knowing anything about what they're writing about…
(1) The poll starts with a bunch of "aren't you concerned about violent crime" questions. Get people in the right frame of mind, you know.
(2) Question from the poll: "Do you [ROTATE OPTIONS] strongly support, somewhat support, somewhat oppose or strongly oppose allowing and training teachers to carry firearms in schools in order for them to defend students against an assailant if necessary?" Answer, a slight majority (52%) either strongly support or somewhat support. Considering just people who said their political affiliation was independent, 58% support strongly or somewhat. (Strongly or weakly identified Republicans support it more strongly, Democrats less.) Bet you we won't hear about that piece of the poll, because everyone knows arming teachers is just crazy.
(3) And perhaps most revealing, participants were asked whether they had any guns in their households, and 62% said no, including 44% of people living in rural areas and 47% of people who identified as Tea Party members. Well, that Tea Party thing might be right, but seriously? 62% of Americans have no guns in their household? 44% of rural Americans? Comrade pollster, I have a bridge I'd like sell you.

They do not say how the conducted the poll but I assume it was by phone. Honestly speaking many, especially in rural areas, will not answer question about owning firearms. The write up shows that it was a national poll and so the sampling size would be small for any demographic. my impression from the numbers say there were more democrats.
As I said when it shows low gun ownership among rural and repubs I am suspicious

Less than a 2 hour drive from Lowell to New Britain CT, where Michael Bellesiles was last heard from, holding forth at a junior college. Think he's made a connection or two on the weekends?

Single step process for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes and metal/alloy-filled multiwalled carbon nanotubes
Department of Physics, Alternative Energy Technology Laboratory, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, Tamilnadu, 600036, India
Nanoscale Research Letters 2007, 2:75-80 doi:10.1007/s11671-006-9033-5Published: 6 January 2007
A single-step approach for the synthesis of multi-walled nanotubes (MWNT) filled with nanowires of Ni/ternary Zr based hydrogen storage alloy has been illustrated. We also demonstrate the generation of CO-free hydrogen by methane decomposition over alloy hydride catalyst. The present work also highlights the formation of single-walled nanotubes (SWNT) and MWNTs at varying process conditions. These carbon nanostructures have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution TEM (HRTEM), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and Raman spectroscopy. This new approach overcomes the existing multi-step process limitation, with possible impact on the development of future fuel cell, nano-battery and hydrogen sensor technologies.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ More than 200 advocates for abortion rights and other causes have rallied at the Kansas Statehouse for what they describe as a women's rights protest.
The ``We are Women'' event Saturday was one of multiple rallies around the country.
The Kansas rally came as state legislators are considering a bill giving greater legal protection to health care providers who refuse to participate in abortions or dispense abortion-inducing drugs. Critics believe the legislation would limit access to birth control.
Kansas rally organizers said they have a wide range of concerns, including a new state law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls.
Kari Ann Rinker, state coordinator for the National Organization for Women, told the crowd that organizers are seeking dignity for women and aren't going to apologize.

R-III students attend Literature Festival at UCM
By AMINA SCALETTY
Adrian 7th Grader
Eighteen students in grades 6-10 along with Mrs. Cochran and one parent volunteer attended the literature festival at UCM Tuesday, March 18th. To attend the festival students were required to read 50% of the titles recommended for their grade level on the current MASL award lists and pass accelerated reader quizzes on each title with a minimum score of 80%. Students then voted on the authors & illustrators they wished to hear speak and were able to hear presentations from Mary Downing Hahn, Michael Spradlin, June Rae Wood, Roland Smith and Terry Trueman with Carol Adler on the day of their visit to UCM.
Aspiring authors can take away almost the same message from all six of these amazing authors: Write about things that are important to you, and don't give up. Take a break if you need to, but always come back. You have to practice hard at writing, but you will improve. Don't be afraid or upset if you have to revise; that means that you are a real author. Everyone goes through revision and disappointment. The Literature Festival was a great inspiration to me, and I hope it will be one to you too.

Bad teacher, great girlfriend!
Although occasionally cautious about their PDA, Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez shared a goofy, intimate moment with millions at the the Super Bowl in Miami this past February -- when the actress, 38, and Yankees slugger, 35, were caught on camera feeding popcorn to one another in the stands.
PHOTOS: Cam and other sexy bad girls
Promoting her flick "Bad Teacher" (costarring ex beau Justin Timberlake) on "Late Night with David Letterman" Monday, the leggy star explained the snacky show of affection.
"We were watching the game, and I was eating, and I was getting down to, like, the last couple pieces of popcorn," Diaz recalled. "And all of a sudden, I see [Alex's] hand coming in," she says of her man. "Anybody who knows me does not put their hand in my food, especially when it's close to my mouth."

But Diaz suddenly felt generous. "I said, 'What are you. . . ?' And then I went, 'You know what? I love you too much, I'm going to give it to you. You deserve it.'"
The sexy pair got a big laugh that their snacking pics hit the web so quickly.
"We started laughing so hard," Diaz told David Letterman. "Like, 'Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?'"
Despite recent rumors of a split, the duo are stronger than ever lately -- making out at a recent A-list bash following the "MTV Movie Awards" June 5 and having a lovey-dovey day together in Miami two days later.

Once again we were treated to Roberta Bardsley's venom for everyone to the left of her. She comes to the defense of Paula Deen, and calls out the "political correctness enforcement squads."
In her rush to judgment, she forgot to mention that even Bill Maher came to Paula's defense. I hardly think he qualifies for a "political correctness enforcement squad."
This was the choice of those companies that subscribe to the free-market system, and decided that Paula wasn't the person to represent them.
Which begs the question, how can it be a free-market system when we give companies' subsidies, welfare, bailouts, price supports, tax breaks, etc.?

Aiyana Stanley-Jones
A Wayne County Circuit judge isn't expected to issue a ruling until early next year on a motion to dismiss charges against Detroit Officer Joseph Weekley, accused of fatally shooting a 7-year-old girl during a police raid in 2010.
The girl's grandmother said she is frustrated that the case is taking so long to prosecute.
Mertilla Jones, Aiyana Stanley-Jones' grandmother, spoke Monday after a pretrial hearing for Weekley in Wayne County Circuit Court.
Jones said she worries that people in Detroit are beginning to forget about her granddaughter. She also questioned the prosecution.
"Why's he not locked up?" she said of Weekley. "Because he's the law? He's not above the law."
Weekley is charged with felony involuntary manslaughter and careless discharge of a firearm causing death. He was indicted last year by a one-person grand jury.
During Monday's hearing, Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor Robert Moran said prosecutors have provided Circuit Judge Cynthia Gray Hathaway with transcripts of grand jury testimony, including those of homicide detectives and officers from the Special Response Team.
Weekley was a member of the SRT during the May 2010 raid on a home in search of a murder suspect. Prosecutors have said Weekley entered the home before a flash-bang grenade thrown by an SRT officer exploded. A gunshot struck Aiyana, which prosecutors say came from Weekley's gun.
A demonstration of a flash-bang grenade for Hathaway and the attorneys, originally scheduled in July, has been rescheduled for Nov. 30.
Also charged in the case is Allison Howard, the principal photographer for "The First 48" TV crew that was following officers during the raid. She is accused of lying under oath and was indicted on charges of perjury during an investigative subpoena and obstruction of justice.
The raid stemmed from an investigation into the death of 17-year-old Je'Rean Blake.
Aiyana's father, Charles Jones, is accused of providing the gun that Chauncey Owens used to kill Blake. Both are facing first-degree murder charges in Blake's death.

There was a cool social area with a pool table, computers and free wifi, plus there was always someone on reception to help with directions or booking tours. All the staff were extremely helpful and all spoke English (vital as I dont know any Portuguese!).

USCIS Pittsburgh Field Office and Application Support Center Consolidate for Full Service Operations
On April 30, 2015, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Pittsburgh Field Office and Application Support Center hosted a Grand Opening of their Field Office in Pennsylvania. The opening included a naturalization ceremony for new American citizens. This new lease executed by GSA was a successful consolidation of formerly separate USCIS Field Office and Application Support Center facilities into one location, as part of a national USCIS effort to create more accessible and efficient office spaces for customers and employees.
The new USCIS Pittsburgh Field Office is a full service immigration office, providing the full range of immigration benefits including green card interviews, fingerprinting and photographic services, and naturalization ceremonies in their own ceremony room. With approximately 100 people walking through their doors each business day, the office serves residents from the state of West Virginia and 35 counties in Western Pennsylvania. In FY 2014, USCIS Pittsburgh welcomed over 2,300 new American citizens naturalized at ceremonies.
The 17,000 square feet building has been designed and constructed to obtain a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Commercial Interiors (CI) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
The office opened for business at the new location in February 2015, providing more efficient space for USCIS to support their mission, customers, and the American public—including those newly naturalized.

Issue Date: www.insightmag.com - Jan. 30-Feb. 5, 2007, Posted On: 1/31/2007
David Kirkpatrick's article on Insight's Obama story ("Feeding Frenzy for a Big Story, Even if It's False" published on Jan. 29, 2007) is a perfect example of the kind of mendacious and unethical journalism practiced at The New York Times.
Contrary to the article's headline and frequent statements, there was nothing "false," "discredited" or "dubious" about our article. Insight never claimed—not once—that Obama had attended an Indonesian Madrassa as a young boy. What we did claim—and stand behind 100 percent—is that the Hillary Clinton camp had conducted an investigation into Obama's Muslim background, and they had concluded he had been raised and educated as a Muslim. In fact, our sources close to the Hillary camp confirmed that the investigators were planning to leak this information to their media allies later this fall—just before the '08 primary campaign. Moreover, our sources also confirmed that the Hillary camp was going to make the issue not so much Obama's Muslim background, but the fact that he had concealed or downplayed it. According to the strategy of the Clinton camp, Obama's alleged concealment and deception was to be the issue—not so much his Muslim heritage. We also reported that the Hillary camp was investigating whether Obama had actually attended a radical Madrassa—and that Clinton's investigators were in the process of trying to find that out.
The Times is trying to obscure the real issue: Hillary Clinton's campaign had been conducting extensive opposition research on her main '08 Democratic rival, and they were zeroing in on his Muslim background. This is the truth. This is exactly what we actually reported. This is what actually happened. We got it first and we got it right. No amount of spinning and mud-slinging from the liberal media can change this.
Mr. Kirkpatrick and The Times editors should be ashamed of themselves: their piece on Insight is full of factual errors and inaccuracies. Insight does not "pay up to $800" for an article. That is simply false. Insight's Obama story was not "meant to focus on the thinking of the Clinton campaign." That is false. It was meant to expose what was actually occurring in the Clinton campaign. Mr. Kirkpatrick's article cites Professor Ralph Whitehead Jr. as questioning whether "Insight magazine actually exists" and that "It could be performance art." How can a New York Times reporter who is profiling an Internet publication, has interviewed the editor on several occasions, and has spoken with former colleagues at The Washington Times—all of whom confirm Insight is a real, functioning entity—cite a source who questions the very existence of the topic he is working on? For the record: Insight does exist, I do collect a regular salary and we have a small staff. To insinuate otherwise, is not only false but nutty.
Then, Mr. Kirkpatrick resorts to the classic kind of smearing that The Times reporters have mastered as an art form: he tries to use the history of Insight on the News (the print version) against us. The old Insight magazine folded several years ago—and I never met its former staff. I was brought on board to edit the new online version that would focus on a unique and completely different mission: political intelligence inside the Beltway. Hence, the only connection we have with the old Insight is the use of the name—that's it. We don't use any of the former contributors, staff or even its format of traditional weekly news coverage. We are an entirely different kind of publication. I stressed this repeatedly to Mr. Kirkpatrick. Yet throughout his piece he tries to discredit Insight by mentioning articles published years ago by reporters who worked under a different editorial regime. Why else mention that journalist David Brock had written for Insight more than a decade ago other than as an underhanded ploy to create a false link between the old Insight and the new Insight? Should we then judge Mr. Kirkpatrick's work in light of some of the false stories that his predecessors at The Times have written (like Walter Duranty and Jayson Blair)? This is obviously unfair—and worse, it is dishonest and juvenile journalism.
Furthermore, Mr. Kirkpatrick's piece is not a balanced evaluation of Insight's contributions to the news cycle over the course of the last year. He makes little mention of all the stories we have broken months before the same stories were confirmed by the establishment press. And more egregious still, Mr. Kirkpatrick fails to mention the hundreds—nay thousands of individuals—who can attest to my character as an honest and meticulous editor. I was trained as a historian and scholar and have impeccable credentials when it comes to diligence in research and verification of sources (in fact, I am willing to compare my resume to his, any day). I have worked for leading universities and news organizations and have received nothing but praise and promotions. Would this be possible if I were as unreliable and shifty as his article insinuates?
In short, Mr. Kirkpatrick has proven that he is a liar, a propagandist and a smear merchant. His judgment as a journalist is also very weak: why does he spend so much time and energy attacking us— fellow journalists who are committed to exposing the truth—instead of applying the same intense effort to pursuing Hillary's activities further, as any honest reporter would do in this case? It is precisely Mr. Kirkpatrick's kind of biased, inaccurate, politically motivated reporting that has led The Times to lose circulation and influence—and why "New Media" publications, such as Insight, are surging forward. The New York Times is going the way of disco. And pernicious articles like Mr. Kirkpatrick's are the reason why.

NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō After 24 years of building up North Kingstown as a community-based town, Karla Driscoll, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce, has retired.
March 9 was her last day before she retreated to Savannah, Ga., on a planned vacation. Her retirement had been months in the works and, she said, this was the best time to do it.
ŌĆ£The Chamber has gone in a new director to now emphasize economic development as a way to attract new services to the town,ŌĆØ said Driscoll. ŌĆ£I feel I led the Chamber through the first phase of making them vital in the community.ŌĆØ
In an email sent to all Chamber members, Lori Delfosse, Chamber Board Communications Chair, explained that the ChamberŌĆÖs Board of Directors approved a new strategic plan focusing on economic development and delivering innovative services to help members of all sizes grow and thrive. The Chamber will be partnering with the town, the Quonset Business Park and Wickford Junction with a goal of attracting new businesses to North Kingstown while assisting existing businesses to develop a vibrant sustainable economic climate.
No further details have been released, but members and the public are invited to attend the ChamberŌĆÖs annual meeting on April 11 at 5:30 p.m. at the new Wickford Junction Train Station to learn more.
Driscoll said sheŌĆÖs proud of many of the accomplishments she and other board members were able to achieve during her tenure, including the annual tree lighting and Breakfast with Santa events, getting the restrooms built in Wickford and the Election Day food drive, among others.
Now, she said, sheŌĆÖs playing the waiting game as the town counts down the days until the opening of the Wickford Junction Train Station.
ŌĆ£I canŌĆÖt believe this is happening. This is just what the town needs.ŌĆØ
Driscoll said if you had told her 24 years ago what North Kingstown would look like today, she would have had a hard time believing it but, because of the hard work of local businesses, she feels itŌĆÖs not a surprise the town has come this far.
ŌĆ£I feel that making the Chamber an integral part of the community needed to be done,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£Having an organization that was pro-business and a place where business owners could come and exchange ideas has been great. What this new direction the Chamber will take, I canŌĆÖt fathom, but thatŌĆÖs OK. I think IŌĆÖve done what I was supposed to do.ŌĆØ
Driscoll is hoping the Chamber will continue the town-wide gift certificates, saying that over the years $600,000 was kept in town because of the program which promotes local shopping.
Driscoll is also proud of the work done by the business advocates program, a relatively new concept spearheaded by the Chamber in which businesses interested in opening up in town are given assistance in navigating through the permitting and licensing process.
ŌĆ£The feedback weŌĆÖve received has been fantastic,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£Both parties come to the table and know what is expected of them. They go the site in question and tour it so they know what their working with.ŌĆØ
While the southern end of town is building up, Driscoll said she doesnŌĆÖt want the northern section to be forgotten.
ŌĆ£We need all areas to be developed and what the planning department is doing with the Post Road Corridor is wonderful,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£This community is so charming and full of historic value; we want people attracted to come here.ŌĆØ
For the time being, DriscollŌĆÖs plans revolve around spending time with her family and doing some traveling, especially in the new RV she and her husband purchased, but North Kingstown wonŌĆÖt be too far in the back of her mind. SheŌĆÖs planning on working more with the food pantry and the ChamberŌĆÖs charitable foundations.
Her departing challenge to the residents of North Kingstown is to sponsor five thousand plastic toy sailboats to be raced in the annual Wickford Cup Race on Sept. 23. Each boat costs $5 and what many donŌĆÖt know is that 100 percent of the money goes towards the food pantry, local scholarships and school programs.
ŌĆ£With over 27,000 residents, we ought to be able to charter thousands of boats,ŌĆØ she added. ŌĆ£The money raised doesnŌĆÖt leave North Kingstown. WhatŌĆÖs a better reason than that not to do this?ŌĆØ
Even though Driscoll is planning on staying involved in town-wide events, sheŌĆÖs going to miss the day-to-day interaction with residents, staff and business owners.
But the free time will give her the ability to focus on other aspects of her life, too.
ŌĆ£My garden needs some attending to, so IŌĆÖll start with that,ŌĆØ she laughed.
