Concerts on the Green covers the classics
June 28, 2011
By Emily Baer
The ever-popular Concerts on the Green Series will kick-off on Tuesday, July 5, at the Issaquah Community Center with the Paul McCartney and Wings tribute band Wings N Things.
Various bands will perform free concerts on the community center lawn Tuesdays from 7-8:30 p.m. through Aug. 30.
The series is presented by Issaquah Parks & Recreation and the Issaquah Arts Commission, in collaboration with the Kiwanis Club of Issaquah.
While the event is typically a nine-concert series, this year's schedule includes a special Friday evening performance to celebrate the Mountains to Sound Greenway's 20th anniversary. The greenway trust is devoted to conserving 1.5 million acres of land surrounding Interstate 90, from the Cascade Range to the Puget Sound.
The Fabulous Roof Shakers, a local blues band, will play at the featured July 8 concert.
Highlights of this year's lineup include Cherry Cherry, Clinton Fearon & Boogie Brown and Jr. Cadillac.
Back by popular demand, Neil Diamond tribute band Cherry Cherry will make its third appearance at the community center. Clinton Fearon & Boogie Brown, a lively reggae gig, will also return to the series this summer after a several-year interim.
Jr. Cadillac, a 41-year-old classic rock band that opened for the likes of The Kinks, Yes, Jethro Tull, The Beach Boys … and the list goes on, will end the concert series with a bang.
The series also features various tribute bands, country music and Americana roots.
"The concerts are really a great community building event," founder and coordinator David Harris said. "They are free and they are really professionally done, more so than people may think."
While approximately 50 people speckled the green to listen to the first community center concert in 1997, now more than 1,000 come to enjoy the festive summer music, Harris said.
Families and groups that attend are encouraged to bring picnic supplies or to support the Kiwanis Club by purchasing from its hotdog and hamburger stand. The concert welcomes adults, children and families alike, but prohibits pets and alcohol.
Slabs of cardboard have become a staple for children who wish to race down "Slide Hill," a grassy bank beside the community center lawn.
Grounds open at 6 p.m. — arrive early to reserve a good spot on the green, 301 Rainier Blvd. Concerts will go on rain or shine.

Steelers matchup: Steelers LB James Harrison vs. Titans LT Michael Roos
Steelers/NFL Videos
Matchup: With Matt Hasselbeck filling in for the injured Jake Locker at quarterback, the Steelers want to pressure the aging veteran. The Steelers plan to do that with the matchup of James Harrison on Michael Roos. Even though the Titans haven't run well this season, they have protected their quarterback: They have allowed only eight sacks.
Harrison: He returned to the field last week for the first time since January and provided the Steelers with a spark. Harrison played all 57 snaps on defense and came away with three hits and three pressures on Eagles quarterback Michael Vick. With LaMarr Woodley out because of a hamstring injury, the Steelers are limited from where they can bring pressure.
Roos: He is athletic for his size (6-foot-7, 315 pounds) and durable. Roos has started every game in his eight-year career (117 consecutive), including the past 97 at left tackle. He also started the final 35 games of his collegiate career at Eastern Washington. The former second-round pick in 2005 has gone against Harrison three times, allowing three sacks.

Arizona litigants accuse firm of not paying for work within required 45 days
More than 20 Arizona appraisers have filed complaints that accuse a San Diego company of failing to pay them in a timely fashion for finished work, public records show.
The claims against AppraiserLoft, which shuttered without warning last fall, will be heard at 8 a.m. Thursday by an administrative law judge in Phoenix. Before it wound down in October, the company helped lenders assign and manage appraisal orders in San Diego County and throughout the nation.
The Arizona claims allege that AppraiserLoft failed to pay appraisers for their work within the required 45 days set by the state.
If the company is found to have violated Arizona's rules of timely payment, the company could be fined up to $15,000 for each violation, state law says. The company's license could also be revoked.
No one from AppraiserLoft has filed a response to the complaint. Phone calls to company CEO and founder Aman Makkar and his wife, Harpreet Makkar, majority owner of the company, were not returned.
This is not the first time appraisers contracted by AppraiserLoft have publicly alleged late payment, or in many cases, no payment at all.
However, the Arizona cases are possibly the first against the company to reach a formal hearing. Regulation of companies like AppraiserLoft, called appraisal management companies, varies by state.
In California, the appraisal board has no authority on late or nonpayment to appraisers because it's "essentially a civil matter between an appraiser and an AMC (appraisal-management company)," Bob Clark, the recently retired director of the Office of Real Estate Appraisers in California, said when the AppraiserLoft matter first surfaced.
Many appraisers throughout the country have told the U-T they either abandoned attempts to seek payments or have unsuccessfully appealed to the lenders in the transactions for compensation.
The Arizona complaints were first filed to the Arizona Board of Appraisal, which regulates appraisers and appraisal management companies. They were then bundled into one and referred to a state agency that hears cases related to regulation.
An administrative law judge will review testimony and evidence at this week's hearing and make a recommendation to the appraisal board.
Aman Makkar, in his only interview with the U-T, said the company shut down operations because of a slow economy and lack of demand for appraisals. He said he was sure correspondence was sent out to appraisers but was unable to provide such correspondence to the U-T.
He resurfaced in March as the technical adviser of local startup Carzy, which developed a website that lets you search new and used cars. The company was founded by another former AppraiserLoft exec, Scott Stokas.
Carzy recently moved into EvoNexus, a free incubator space for startups started by tech trade group CommNexus. The company is slated to appear at a local job fair hosted by CommNexus on May 24 at UC San Diego.

Oh yes, your belly with Nathan certainly looks much bigger. You know I kinda liked being too fat for regular clothes and too small for maternity ones because I had an excuse to go buy myself clothes! :D

Umm, you are hilarious. You're TEENY, period. I can't believe you're 27 weeks. I have (and have had, ha!) a much bigger belly than you! You must have a teeny tiny baby in there!
You sound like me in the pants department...my only consolation is that at least when I'm sitting down I don't have to roll up my pants...they fit nicely when I'm sitting! =) And you must be a better mom than me...I figure that all of our newborn clothes were clean when we put them up, so no need to wash them again! =)

Tell me you're not serious about thinking your butt looks bigger now!!! You look adorable!!!! Pregnancy definitely agrees with you! I always felt like a beached whale when I was pregnant...and my butt was always as big as my belly (a keen observation made by a friend's child, which reduced me to a heaping pile of tears). Seriously, when she found out I was having twins, she asked her mom, "Are the babies in her butt or her belly?"

|Cerebral ventricular volume and temperamental difficulties in infancy. The Generation R Study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18787659 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have provided evidence for subtle deviations in brain morphology in children with psychiatric disorders, but much less is known about the onset and developmental trajectory of these deviations early in life. We sought to determine whether variances in cerebral ventricular size in fetuses and newborns are associated with temperamental difficulties in infants.
METHODS: Within a population-based cohort study, we measured the size of the lateral ventricle of the fetus' brain twice during pregnancy. We used 3-dimensional cranial ultrasound to measure the cerebral ventricular volume of infants at age 6 weeks. We then related the size of the cerebral ventricular system to temperamental dimensions at age 3 months using the Mother and Baby Scales, and at age 6 months using the Infant Behavior Questionnaire for a total of 1028 infants.
RESULTS: The size of the lateral ventricle of the fetuses in midpregnancy was not related to temperamental difficulties in infants; however, smaller lateral ventricles in late pregnancy were associated with higher activity levels at the age of 6 months. Infants with smaller ventricular volumes at age 6 weeks experienced higher activity levels, more anger or irritability and poorer orienting later in infancy. Children with the lowest ventricular volumes scored on average 0.15 (95% confidence interval 0.06-0.23, p = 0.001) points higher (23%) on activity levels than children with the highest ventricular volumes.
CONCLUSION: Variations in ventricular size before and shortly after birth are associated with temperamental difficulties. Some of the morphologic differences between children with and without psychiatric disorders may develop very early in life.

Course overview
Deakin's Bachelor of Zoology and Animal Science provides students with a broad understanding of the current field of zoology, with an emphasis on exposure to the latest cutting-edge research and the development of a range of practical and evidence-based decision-making skills. As a graduate you may find career opportunities in a range of areas including zoological research, environmental monitoring and management, wildlife biology, private environmental consulting, government quarantine, museums, and universities. Successful completion of the course may also lead to opportunities for further study including postgraduate research training both in Australia and overseas.
During the course you will learn about the diversity, ecology, behaviour, physiology, biochemistry, genetics and evolutionary biology of animals from amoeba through to zebra. This learning will be complemented by a number of practical and field based learning experiences. The potential effects that environmental change may have on the evolution, genetics, disease and physiology of animals is an important part of the course; environmental change will affect all areas of zoology. The social and economic impact that human activity has on animals and their ecosystems and vice versa will also be highlighted. The course has a strong focus on Australian fauna and its unique importance in the global environment and is underpinned by the latest research in zoology.
Units in the course may include assessment hurdle requirements.
Fees and charges
Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL)
EFTSL is the standard annual full time load. Eight credit points is considered a standard full time load for one year. Each unit you study has an EFTSL value. You can add these together to calculate your study load each year. Depending on enrolment, you may be enrolled in more than or less than the one EFTSL each year.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
Under the present legislation, a Commonwealth supported place is one for which the University receives some Government funding. Students enrolled in these places are required to contribute part of their course costs. To be eligible for a Commonwealth supported place you must be an Australian citizen, or New Zealand citizen or holder of a permanent visa who will be residing in Australia for the duration of your study.
Full-fee paying (FFP)
A full-fee paying place is one which the University does not receive any Government funding. Students enrolled in these places contribute the full cost of their course.
Domestic full-fee paying places are available to Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens or holders of a permanent visa.
Fee information for all domestic students
The current Federal Government has proposed a number of major reforms for the higher education sector (see the Higher Education and Research Reform Amendment Bill 2014), including fee deregulation in respect of domestic student fees. This legislation may be reintroduced to the parliament in the latter half of 2015 and if passed, will impact on the CSP and FFP course fees applicable in 2016.
* Therefore, the indicative annual course fee shown is provided as a guide only. It has been calculated on the basis of a typical enrolment of a student undertaking the course in 2015, and reflects the cost involved in undertaking full-time study within the specified discipline. The 2016 CSP and FFP course fees may change if the Commonwealth Government's proposed fee deregulation and reforms legislation is passed.
The actual fees charged by Deakin University, will depend on the individual unit discipline and may vary from the indicative course fee cited, particularly if units are chosen from a number of disciplines. The cost of each unit offered in 2016 can be viewed from the Unit Search. Should a change in Government policy affect the cost of units offered, the website will be updated as soon as possible.
The fees per unit/credit point may be otherwise subject to an annual increase due to rises in the cost of course delivery and service.
This information is provided as a guide only. No representation is made that the information provided is current or accurate. Deakin assumes no responsibility for persons relying on indicative course fees to calculate the total future cost of their course. Applicants can email firstname.lastname@example.com au for more information about 2016 fees.
Fee payment assistance
Australian citizens or holders of a permanent humanitarian visa, enrolling in a CSP or FFP, may be eligible for HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP respectively. For more information about HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP visit the Study Assist website.

One of Anthony Calvillo's traits during a game was to sit alone on the bench, away from the rest of team, and watch things unfold on the field. During his many trips to BC Place Stadium the Montreal Alouettes' quarterback spent a lot of time watching things go wrong.
As good as Calvillo was, and considering some of the great Montreal teams he played for, the high-flying Alouettes often looked like lame ducks when they landed in Vancouver.

Calvillo, who officially announced his retirement Tuesday after a 20-year CFL career, started with the ill-fated Las Vegas Posse in 1994, then spent three years with Hamilton. He joined the Als in 1998 as a backup to Tracy Ham, then took over the starting role in 2000.
Between 2000 and 2012, Montreal played the Lions 13 times in Vancouver and won just twice. The Alouettes beat the Lions 35-25 on Aug. 13, 2000, at BC Place. They wouldn't win another game in Vancouver until a 16-12 victory on July 16, 2010, when the Lions played on the temporary field built at Empire Stadium while renovations were being done at BC Place.
The Lions were back in BC Place when they clobbered the Als 43-1 in the final regular-season game of 2011. B.C. also beat Montreal 43-10 on Sept. 8, 2012. Calvillo was injured when the Als lost 36-14 at BC Place last September.
Between 2000 and 2012 the Lions won six games in Montreal.
Adding to the Alouettes' West Coast frustration, Montreal lost the 2005 Grey Cup 38-35 to the Edmonton Eskimos in double overtime at BC Place. During Calvillo's career the Lions and Als twice met in the Grey Cup with B.C. winning in 2000 and 2006.
Calvillo's 79,816 career passing yards is more than any other quarterback in a professional league. He was the CFL's most valuable player three times and a five-time all-star. He won three Grey Cups and was MVP of the championship game in 2002.
Still, BC Place was his Waterloo. Custer's troops stood a better chance at the Little Big Horn than Calvillo did against the Lions in Vancouver.
B.C.'s mastery over Calvillo began even before Wally Buono left the Calgary Stampeders to join the Lions in 2003.
"Even before I came here I think for some reason the Lions and the Als, they matched up well," said Buono, B.C.'s vice-president of football operations and general manager. "For some reason this team was always able to play one of its best games against the Alouettes."
The three-hour time difference between Montreal and Vancouver is one factor. When the Als took the field for a 7 p.m. game in Vancouver their body clock said 10 p.m.
"You would be naive to think it was just your great play and great coaching," chuckled Buono.
Lions' defensive end Keron Williams said one of the keys to playing against Calvillo was to hit him early, especially later in his career.
"No quarterback likes to get hit," said Williams. "For an older guy, that can be very frustrating and cause his focus to be obscured a bit.
"If you hit him (Calvillo) early in the game, in the first quarter, he is going to be bright-eyed for the rest of the game. Some of the reads he is normally going to make, he is not going to see them because he doesn't want to get hit."
Over the years the Lions dressed defensive linemen like Brent Johnson, Cam Wake and Aaron Hunt who made life difficult for Calvillo.
The Lions have made beat Montreal look easy but it wasn't. When Marc Trestman coached the Als, his offensive scheme was to get rid of the ball quickly. That made life difficult for the defence.
"You didn't get a chance to get too many hits on him," said Williams. "I remember every time we played Montreal, the scouting reports would always tell us don't expect to get a lot of sacks this week.
"The ball would always get out of there. That's just a credit to him being smart with the football and making the right decisions to preserve his body and give the receivers a chance to work for him."
Over the years Williams has sacked a lot of CFL quarterbacks, but Calvillo wasn't one of them.
"He's the only quarterback I have yet to sack," Williams said. "It (Calvillo's retirement) is kind of bittersweet because I really wanted to bring him down before he hung them up."
Williams played two seasons in Montreal, winning a Grey Cup in 2009. The way Calvillo carried himself left a lasting impression.
"Just to see how he came into work every day, well prepared, it as like playing along side a coach," he said. "It was rewarding for me because of his discipline, his mindset, his work ethic. That allowed him to play all those years. He tried to instill it in the people around him."
Williams said Calvillo's habit of sitting alone on the bench wasn't a sign of being aloof.
"He does that, I think, to clear his head and refresh his mindset," he said. "He calms himself down to where he's in a good place. He's doing that as a way of slowing the game down.
"I've seen him do that from time to time. He just relaxes himself, then goes back out and throws a 70-yard bomb."
During his career Buono has coached, and coached against, some of the best quarterbacks who ever played in the CFL. Calvillo is certainly part of that group.
"When you look at him, you look at longevity, you look at consistency, you look at championships," said Buono. "When you talk about the great quarterbacks in our league he has to be in that conversation."

The UW Bookstore's popular annual feature, the customer rebate, just got easier to collect. Keeping receipts in an envelope all year is a thing of the past; now it's as simple as swiping your UW ID card when you make a purchase.
It's a win-win situation for the Bookstore and its customers. The Bookstore no longer has to collect, sort, and total customer receipts at the end of each fiscal year (June 30). Nor does it have to verify each student's enrollment status. These tasks, being paper-based, required much time and effort. Customers benefit from no longer having to keep track of their receipts all year or submit them in person to the Bookstore.
The Office of the University Registrar (OUR) played a role in this process improvement, which launched at the beginning of July. The Bookstore had approached the OUR with an idea to automate the verification of a students' enrollment status. Soon afterward, the OUR had developed, tested, and deployed a process that enabled the change. It's always a pleasure to see this sort of collaboration between University groups result in significant improvement for all stakeholders.

Emil Bührle's Collection
The Collector
The Works
The Museum
Emil Georg Bührle
1890-1956, entrepreneur and art collector
1951-1956: International entrepreneur international collector
Emil Bührle expands his enterprise into a diverse corporation, and his holdings include participations in companies in Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Chile and India. Anti-aircraft systems manufactured by Oerlikon Bührles subsidiary Contraves in Italy and Sweden are deployed by various NATO powers. Pilatus Aircraft Ltd in Stans develops a series of training aircraft for the Swiss Army. There are successes with the manufacture of civilian products such as braking systems, office machines, textile machines and plastics. In 1953, extensive plants are constructed for Oerlikon Tools and Arms Corporation of America in Asheville (North Carolina). In October 1956, Emil Bührle celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik Oerlikon with the employees of the company headquarters.
The number of works acquired increases by leaps and bounds, and now amounts to about 100 pictures and sculptures each year. Frequent trips abroad enable Bührle to purchase works frequently entire groups of pictures from a small circle of leading dealers in New York, London and Paris: Paul Rosenberg, Germain Seligmann, Georges Wildenstein, Max Kaganovitch and Frank K. Lloyd. Bührle has a particularly trusting relationship with Arthur Kauffmann in London and Fritz Nathan in Zurich. In June 1954, Emil Bührle gives a presentation with slides at the University of Zurich entitled Vom Werden meiner Sammlung (On the genesis of my collection), in which he describes his own historic position within the critical reception of French Impressionism and describes the art-historical principles according to which he selected the older works in his collection. At the same time, Bührle includes precursors of his own days abstract painting by acquiring works by the Fauves and Cubists. He also continues to collect gothic sculpture, particularly from the Lake Constance and Alpine regions.
Following a referendum, construction of the exhibition hall on Heimplatz donated by Emil Bührle to the Kunsthaus Zurich begins at the end of 1954. The benefactors collection is to be exhibited there for the opening, and Emil Bührle delays decisions regarding a permanent presentation of his collection in view of this project. Although he is generally generous when it comes to loaning pictures, he becomes more reserved with regard to the exhibition in Zurich.
From 1951 to 1952, Oskar Kokoschka paints a portrait of Emil Bührle. In 1952 and 1953, instead of the Prize for Swiss Painting, a competition for the Prix Buhrle is organised in Paris. Bührle does not make the selections himself as he would for his own collection, but appoints a jury consisting of representatives of Pariss artistic life. The finalists are typical exponents of the Ecole de Paris, which is soon to decline in importance.
28 November 1956
Emil Bührle dies in Zurich, without having given any directions concerning the continued existence of his collection. From June to September 1958, the majority of Emil Bührles collection is exhibited in the newly opened wing of the Kunsthaus Zurich.

A man has confessed to sexually abusing a girl, investigators said.
Richard Benjamin, 37, has been charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and three counts of possession of child pornography.
Detectives said they got a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Benjamin had posted photographs and chatted with someone about sexually abusing a child. Investigators said Benjamin posted images on Tumblr.
Police said their investigation led them to Benjamin. Officers got a warrant and searched his home, where detectives said they found sexually images of the girl Benjamin claimed to be abusing. Investigators said they also found several pornographic images of children on Benjamin's cellphone.
In addition to confessing to abusing the girl, Benjamin claimed to be grooming her for future abuse, police said.
Officials have not released the girl's age.
Benjamin is being held at the Harris County Jail with bond set at $200,000.

Cooper Middle School
McLean, VA 22101
Cooper Middle School Reviews
My son just entered Cooper, and so far the experience has far exceeded our expectations. The teachers do not treat the students like young children; they expect a level of maturity which I think most of the kids appreciate. I agree with the other review that the area/neighborhood has a lot to do wtih the quality of this school. I think this community demands the highest quality teachers, administrators, and facilities. FYI, I overheard my son with another boy, and they were saying that they wished there was a hotel at Cooper so that they could stay there overnight because they like it so much. I'm hoping the experience will continue to be as wonderful through the end of eighth grade.
This school is spectacular. The students are all very bright. Most of the students seem to be focused in school and the teachers are excellent. The area that Cooper is in is definitely a contribution to how great Cooper is.

Last weekend I bought new aero bars for the bike. If you're not familiar with aero bars, I explained them in a previous post. Here's a picture of some handlebars with clip-on aero bars as well:
Anyway, I got a set installed on the bike and had the bike re-fitted since my aero position changes with the new bars. They raised the seat up about 3/4 of an inch amongst some other changes. You wouldn't think 3/4" would make much difference, but after riding on Monday(the results will be in next week's totals) I can tell you without a doubt that it absolutely killed me. Specifically, it killed one part of me. The most sensitive part of me. You see, there's a condition called "cyclist's penis"(no I'm not making it up, read about it here) that any male cyclist who puts in decent miles will probably experience at some point. Basically your little guy downstairs will go numb if your bike fit is wrong, because you're sitting on important blood vessels and depriving Man's True Best Friend of oxygen & blood. The solution is usually either getting a better bike fit or trying out a new saddle. I know my saddle is fine, so I took the bike in to get the seat dropped back down. Hopefully I won't have to go through that again, because if you let the condition persist you can have any number of long-term issues(like impotence, for example...yikes). So fellas, if you're reading this and your junk falls asleep on rides, go get your bike fit & saddle checked ASAP.
I had a slow training week otherwise. I've got to rededicate myself to working out on the weekends now that work is really ramping up and keeping me from hitting the pavement more than I might otherwise. It looks like my run & bike totals will be up in February, but my swim totals are declining sharply this month. Getting a good training balance is hard to do with 3 different disciplines involved. I'm already over 50 miles running for the year, which is a good start. I just need to keep pushing.

Editor, the Gazette:
Chillicothe is fortunate to have Luke Feeney as city auditor, and I am fortunate to be able to call him a friend.
He made his mark early and has spent his life working to make the lives of others better. As a teen, he earned the honor of Eagle Scout. He committed himself to education and earned a Juris Doctorate degree. As a legal aid attorney, he was there to help senior citizens and low-income citizens by cutting through the red tape when they found themselves faced with probate, Internal Revenue Services and other legal problems.
As a community member, Feeney doesn't just belong but takes action and provides valuable assistance through volunteer work. He serves as an active member of the board of directors of Big Brothers Big Sisters, the United Way, Community Action and Hopewell Health Centers. He worked closely with others to start the free income tax preparation service in Chillicothe. It made a difference by assisting almost 1,000 citizens who needed the help. The results? More than $1 million in refunds to our community in 2012 alone.
As auditor of the city of Chillicothe, he started a tax amnesty program that brought in more than $70,000 in outstanding income taxes while saving the taxpayers more than $50,000. He understands the needs of the community and has extended the hours of the auditor's office during income tax season and has put controls in place to ensure people who have been hiding from their responsibility pay their taxes. Feeney represents hard work, ethics, intelligence, leadership, experience, commitment to Chillicothe citizens and the type of excellence that is needed in the city auditor's office.

Of course all our politicians want a bright future for our children, but are today's leaders really getting to grips with the range of possible futures we might need to prepare our children for? Are they exploring the possibility that the futures we are currently building may be dark?
The 21st century, as we can see already, is a period in which the likelihood of economic collapse disrupts our taken-for-granted assumptions about employment, about pension security, about stability. It is a century in which the routine flooding of countries such as Pakistan looks set to displace millions of refugees.
It is a century in which hedge funds buy up land in Africa, in which more than 50% of the population of Western Europe will be aged over 50, where the wealthy are promised ever extended lifetimes and where many children still come to school hungry.
It is a century in which the ever more sophisticated digital networks we use are already beyond our capacity to fully control, and where the possibility of digital augmentation of the body and cognitive enhancement of the brain are becoming taken for granted. It is a century in which systems of democracy and accountability are gradually being eroded, and where new forms of representation, protest and politics are being imagined.
Those futurists, planners and politicians looking at current trends tend to talk of "the 21st century canyon", of the next 50 years as the period in which humanity hits a whole load of crunch points in terms of resources, population and our ability to mature quickly enough to control both our new technological capabilities and our baser instincts for competition and war. The question they ask is – will this be a moment of transformation or of catastrophe?
The answer to this question will come from many sources but, perhaps most importantly, it will come from educators themselves. Will we have the courage to continue pointing out that comparing micro-points on international comparison tests doesn't mean we are actually creating the passionate scientists and engineers who might build new futures?
Will we have the courage to start to experiment, as co-operative schools and environmental education networks are doing, with reimagining schools as a source of economic and environmental resilience for their communities?
Will we have the strength to develop the sort of curricula and pedagogies that really equip our students to build the human relationships that will see them through these crises? Will we have the resources to remember to create the joyful, delightful and beautiful educational experiences that remind children that life is worth living despite adversity?
Who knows. One thing is clear, if we want to imagine the classroom of the future, we need to imagine a future that is not just business as usual.

I attended Carl and Frank's aluminum frame welding seminar Saturday. They did a great job making it fun and entertaining. Below is the email I sent them to thank them:
Hi Carl,
I just wanted to drop you and Frank a note to say thanks for the great class. Lots of great information and the ability to pick the brain of a guy with Frank's experience is priceless. I learned a lot, from materials and filler, machine settings to all the subtle details about joint fit up and when to align, etc. All the little junk you could spend years chasing your tail before you got a good process down.
Having hosted a few training classes myself for various things, I know how difficult it can be to get the material across and still have a low key and fun environment to keep everyone involved and engaged. I think you guys did a fantastic job and I am really grateful I had the opportunity to participate. The food was awesome, too by the way.
I'm going to hit him up for a painting class in the spring: Metal Guru
Here are some photos and details from the recent Metal Guru seminar taught by Frank The Welder.
FTW (Frank Teaches Welding). « Metal Guru
Frank Wadelton AKA Frank the Welder will return to Metal Guru to conduct a second aluminum frame welding seminar on Saturday May 4th.
More details can be found here:

What level of ability would you expect a student to bring to the class?
I've built about 10 fillet brazed frames, a few lugged, and I've TIG welded but never anything as thin as bike tubing, but my TIG sucks. Would it be better for me to learn to TIG a bike frame before taking this class?
Jim Nachlin | Bike stuff I've made | Bikes I've owned
Hi Jim,
While there will be an opportunity to do some practice welding, the seminar is mostly Frank discussing and demonstrating the techniques used in aluminum frame building.
This seminar is meant to provide a starting point for those interested in aluminum frame building.
would love to attend..........I'm local, planning on buying spooky, weld for a living........but, my sons first communion is pretty important to us.

REVIEW: Silent on the Moor by Deanna Raybourn
Dear Ms. Raybourn,
After reading the second book in the Lady Julia Grey mystery series last year (I've since bought but still not read book one) and quickly learning that there was to be a third book, I was eagerly anticipating it. And bless you, you didn't let me down when I pulled out our copy and dove into it. Murder, death, investigations and sticky situations abound as Lady Julia and Nicholas Brisbane circle each other like wary cats. Will they finally get their HEA? Frankly I did wonder.
Book two, Silent in the Sanctuary, left Lady Julia planning on how to crash the decorating party at Nicholas' newly purchased estate on the Yorkshire Moors. He'd asked her sister, Lady Portia, to assist him but specifically ordered Portia not to tell Julia about it. Which didn't stop Julia from discovering what was afoot. Now she and Portia, along with their youngest brother Valerius who was ordered by their father to accompany the two young widows, are headed, along with two maids, three pets and innumerable trunks and bags, into the hamlet of Lesser Howlet. The two ladies think they've reached the back of beyond until they finally make their way to Grimsgrave Manor. It is at that point that they know they've finally reached it.
Dank, dark and depressing about cover the adjectives needed to describe Brisbane's new home. Julia and Portia are appalled. When they discover that the ladies left from the noble family that formerly owned the estate are still there and living on Brisbane's charity, they are taken slightly aback. But Lady Allenby and her eldest daughter, Ailith, seem pleasant enough, even if they're fixated on their ancient lineage while the youngest daughter, Hilda, strikes the March sisters as gauche.
It doesn't take long for the ghosts to be stirred up, the secrets hidden in the house to begin to rise and the wuthering to loom over the windswept moors. Death has been done and unless Brisbane and Julia watch their steps more will follow. But can they uncover the murderer in time or will evil win the day?
As with "Sanctuary," "Moor" slowly unfolds the story, gently leaving clues for the reader to pick up, turn over, contemplate and fit into the puzzle. Everything isn't laid out in order and some things will be mentioned early in the book which will play a role much later on. And it isn't just the actions of the living which influence the story but also of those long dead. The sins of the fathers do come back to haunt the next generation in this story.
I couldn't help but think of Emily Bronte's sole work of fiction while reading "Moor." It's set in Yorkshire, has a half-gypsy hero, there is madness and death, with angelic/demonic characters. Outsiders, including me, are horrified at what goes on there yet it makes a kind of sick, twisted sense.
Only one of the secondary characters will die by the end of the story yet there are old murders and deaths which Julia and Brisbane will solve or uncover before the madness finally ends. I had half guessed what the ultimate horror would be yet my mind still sought other possibilities to account for what Julia discovers. It's just too awful. Yet it also brought to mind a degree of the ghastliness that has been front page news for the past year as well as ancient practices carried out in the society studied by the now dead Allenby heir.
One thing that did annoy me slightly is the fact that Brisbane and Julia are hardly together for the first 150 or so pages. And when they are finally together, it's mainly so that Brisbane can hold Julia at arms length or order her to leave. It was only after Brisbane's gypsy aunt gave Julia some sound words of advice that I finally settled down wait the relationship out.
It saddened me to see two relationships that didn't work out in the story. I agree with Julia that it will take great courage for Hilda to strike out on her own yet I applaud her for doing so. She'll finally get what she really wants and that's to get away from the Moors and the memory of her family. What happens to poor Portia is just devastating. As Brisbane said, he regarded them as the happiest couple he knew yet not even all Portia's money and influence can stand against society and what Jane feels she wants more than love.
It delights me that you can manage this series so as not to give away what happens in either of the first two. And though I think it helps to have read them so as to gain a greater appreciation for the characters, it is not necessary. New readers can start with this book and work their way back just fine.
Is this the end of the journey for Julia and Brisbane? If yes, I feel it's a great trilogy that ties up most, though not all, of the plot threads and character arcs. If no, then I'll look forward to watching these two in action again as well as revisiting the eccentric March family. And I hope that Brisbane does replace that lovely lavender and lace corset on the front cover. B+
This book can be purchased in trade paperback from Amazon or ebook format from the Sony Store and other etailers.
The Sony Store is selling The Lady Julia Grey Bundle which are all three books for $13.96. Given that Silent on the Moor is a trade paperback, that's essentially getting three books for the price of one.

Four years ago, Brian White walked through Rogers Park and saw it changing. Developers, riding a wave of rising property values, were converting rental apartments into condominiums for sale. Longtime tenants, unable to buy their homes outright, left the community.
"It wasn't just some renter here and there who was being displaced," White says. "It was whole neighborhoods."
So he teamed with colleagues in the Chicago housing industry and started the Lakeside Community Development Corp. The nonprofit, which advocates for affordable housing in the Rogers Park and West Ridge neighborhoods, celebrates its fourth anniversary today.
Since 2005, the organization has worked with groups along the housing spectrum — tenants, landlords, developers, condominium associations and policymakers — to help Chicago residents keep their homes.
At times, that means lobbying for tighter regulation of real-estate practices such as condo conversions — advocacy that has earned its critics. In other moments, it means helping a teary-eyed homeowner fight foreclosure.
In the case of Kimberly Perez-Campos, Lakeside meant empowerment.
In 2006, Perez-Campos says, her building was in disrepair. Years earlier, Habitat for Humanity had built its residents a brand-new community, but the organization's volunteers left behind a huge responsibility: running a condo association.
After several residents stepped down from the board, Perez-Campos found herself as its newly appointed treasurer, inexperienced in association issues and intimidated by the task of managing about a dozen families' homes.
"It was scary," she says. "It's one thing to be responsible for your own paycheck, and your own money, but now I was responsible for other people's. I was dealing with people who weren't paying and who had lost their jobs. It was really tough."
Perez-Campos joined a Lakeside program that helps members of condo associations know their rights and responsibilities. It was a crash course in running a community, but she says it has made a vast difference in the way she handles the association's affairs.
Now, she says, some tenants who could not pay their association fees are on payment plans. Other board members are learning more about running the association. Records are better organized and more accessible to residents.
"I wish there were some law that said that in order to run an association, you need to take this training," Perez-Campos says.
Other members of the community are less enthusiastic about Lakeside's work.
Marty Max, president of the Rogers Park Builders Group, says he respects the organization and its work on behalf of low-income residents. But he takes issue with some of White's claims that developers force them out of the area.
"People are not being pushed out," Max says. "There's plenty of affordable housing in Rogers Park."
When rents rise, he says, it is not always because property owners are greedy. Often, housing prices reflect market forces and growing expenses.
"We have the high cost of energy, the high cost of improvements, the high cost of water," Max says. "When all of those things go up, the only way that we continue to get income is to raise the rent."
Further, he says, the the condominium conversions that angered White were beneficial for the community.
"When you have ownership, I think people take better care of their neighborhoods," Max says. "Not only are they living there, but they have a vested economic concern."
White agrees that home ownership is an important ideal, but he says it is not possible for everyone.
"We would love it if we could help people who are renting become owners and stay in the neighborhood without going someplace else," he says. "For a lot of people, that's not going to happen. We think the market has plenty of opportunities for everybody to make money and to still provide for some affordability."

Spam plaguing Amazon Kindle's self-publishing
updated 08:15 am EDT, Fri June 17, 2011
Kindle Direct Publishing facing serious issues
Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing service is under threat of being swamped by spam. The service exists to offer aspiring authors an easy way to self-publish their own work and potentially monetize it. However, it is not working this way in practice. Many of the ebooks being published are constructed using Private Label Rights (PLR), which is content that can be purchased cheaply online and then converted into an ebook and is published for sale.
These 'ebooks' are then published cheaply, typically 99 cents each, alongside legitimate titles. PLR content has become so prevalent, that authentic content is getting buried and lost in amongst the spam. A DVD boxset titled Autopilot Kindle Cash has become available that purports to offer show users how to publish 10 to 20 titles a day without even penning a single word. In the worst case, at least one author had their work plagiarized in full and re-published under someone else's name.
The ebook business is taking off around the world, so much so that the more dire predictions purport that traditional books stores may become consigned to history in the next five to ten years. In the US last year, 2.8 million non-traditional books, including ebooks, were published in the US. This compared with only 316,000 traditional books being published during the same period.
Three possible solutions have been put forward for Amazon to address the issue. One is to begin curating submissions. Another is to add a social dimension to the service, allowing users to recommend quality ebooks to others. The third probably has the most potential - charge users a fee for uploads to the Kindle publishing system. [via Reuters]

The short week before Thanksgiving was dominated by Tuesday's announcement by the Veteran's Administration and Louisiana State University that the institutions had selected the sites for their new medical facilities. As feared — but as expected — they chose the Lower Mid-City sites, opening the doors to the worst possible scenario. It has been one year since the public learned of the secretly-confected deal the city struck with the VA to present it with a construction-ready site — if the VA chose the RPC site, named for the Regional Planning Commission, which has so artfully carried out this exercise in misguided planning.
The morning of the announcement I appeared on WWL-TV's morning show standing on the neutral ground of S. Galvez, near Deutsches Haus, which is the dividing line between the two sites. Earlier, Kurt Weigle, executive director of the Downtown Development District, had told the reporter that "Charity is in no shape to open as a hospital." Further, he contended that buildings have a "life-cycle," and that Charity had exceeded its life-cycle for use as a hospital. My response was to point out that New York City's Chrysler Building dates to 1930 and the Empire State Building to 1931, and that no one was talking about those buildings — of the same era and type of construction as the 1939 Charity Building — having reached the end of their "life-cycles" as office towers.
The press conference announcing the site selection took place in the mayor's press room at City Hall. Sandra Stokes of the Foundation for Historical Louisiana, Michelle Kimball, Bobbi Rogers, and I were among the attendees. Before the event began, it was announced that if anyone was not with the media, he or she must leave, because "this was a press event for the media only." We didn't leave. During the press conference, everyone extolled the collaborative and inclusive process leading to this decision — apparently not realizing that minutes before, the citizens had been asked to leave.
At the press conference, Dr. Ed Blakely, director of the Office of Recovery and Development Administration, was asked whether any houses on the sites would be saved. Dr. Blakely replied, "We will save all of the historic fabric of the neighborhood… Demolition is only the last resort." Blakely had evidently not been briefed on last week's executed programmatic agreement which, at most, would enable the moving of no more than 20 historic properties (of a total of 165). Perhaps his conception of saving historic fabric is to see it pried off of buildings and hauled away in dump trucks.
LSU, FEMA, and other state representatives could offer no new information on how LSU proposed to finance its estimated $1.2 billion project. Assurances were given by Paul Rainwater of the Louisiana Recovery Authority that if the state couldn't "seal the deal" with FEMA on the amount of recovery money the state sought for damages to the Charity building by January 20, negotiations would continue into the Obama administration. It was reported this week that the state aniticipates at least a $1.3 billion hole in next year's budget.

|Toxic effects of nicotinamide methylation on mouse brain striatum neuronal cells and its relation to manganese.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22249857 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: It is well known that manganese (Mn) exposure is involved in parkinsonism. The aim of our study was to test the hypotheses that Mn affects nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) activity, increases the metabolism of nicotinamide (NA) to 1-methylnicotinamide (MNA), and leads to neurocytotoxicity.
METHODS: Following demonstration of the effects of Mn concentrations on the survival rate of Mouse CD1 brain striatum neuronal cells (MS cells), the effect of Mn on NNMT activity was investigated by comparing the difference in the amount of MNA produced after various Mn concentrations were added to mouse brain cytosol fractions as an enzyme solution. Toxicity induced by MNA and its precursor NA on MS cells was measured.
RESULTS: The survival rate of MS cells decreased significantly with increasing concentrations of Mn in the culture medium. With respect to the influence of Mn on NNMT activity, NNMT activity increased significantly at Mn concentrations of 1 μmol/mg protein. MNA and NA neurotoxicity were compared by comparing cell survival rate. Cell survival rate dropped significantly when the cells were cultivated with 10 mM of MNA. There was also a tendency for the survival rate to fall following the addition of 10 mM NA; however, the difference with the control was not significant.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests the possibility that Mn causes increased NNMT activity, thereby increasing MNA levels in the brain and bringing about neuron death. Daily absorption of Mn and NA may thus contribute to idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

1999 Infiniti G20 • 102,000 miles
I am contemplating purchasing a engine for my car. I had spoke with a person to sell me an engine and he told me that the engine was strong, and ran a compression test of 200. I'm not exactly sure of what that means. What does a typical engine like this run at and is it good that it runs at a compression of 200?
October 29, 2012.
October 29, 2012.
That's the pounds of pressure developed in the cylinders when the pistons come up and squeeze the air and fuel. "200" seems rather high but not out of the realm of possibility. "150" to "170" is typical. As an engine wears, more and more of that air is able to leak past the piston rings reducing the pistons' ability to develop that pressure, so higher is better. Even tired engines with a compression of as low as 100 can run smoothly and well. They'll just be down a little on power and fuel mileage. What is much more important than the numbers is that all the numbers for all of the cylinders should be close to the same, typically within around ten percent. When one cylinder is weaker, it won't develop the same power as the rest and you might feel that, especially when accelerating. To say it another way, there is no value in knowing the AVERAGE compression. You want to know the highest one and the lowest one. If they are all close to the same, that's a good sign. If they are all somewhat low, chalk it up to high mileage. If only one or two are real low, suspect a mechanical problem that will not have an easy or inexpensive fix.
There are many other internal problems an engine can develop. Testing the compression just tells the condition of the cylinders, nothing more.

Merck ( MRK ) recently
announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
accepted its Biologics License Application (BLA) for its ragweed
pollen (ambrosia artemisiifolia) sublingual allergy immunotherapy
Merck's Timothy grass pollen (phleum pratense) sublingual
allergy immunotherapy tablet is also under FDA review. A response
on both candidates should be out in the first half of 2014. Both
candidates have been developed to help treat the underlying cause
of allergic rhinitis by triggering an immune response to help
protect against the targeted allergen.
Merck, which is facing generic competition for erstwhile
blockbuster drug, Singulair, is working on developing its pipeline
to help make up for the loss of revenues resulting from
genericization. Earlier this month, the company gained FDA approval
for its combination cholesterol treatment, Liptruzet. The FDA
granted approval to Liptruzet for the treatment of elevated
low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in patients with primary
or mixed hyperlipidemia as adjunctive therapy to diet when diet
alone is not enough.
Merck has another FDA decision coming up. The company, which
submitted a new drug application (NDA) for its insomnia candidate -
suvorexant, should receive a response from the FDA regarding the
approval status of the candidate in mid-13. The FDA's Peripheral
and Central Nervous System Drugs Advisory Committee will meet to
discuss the suvorexant NDA on May 22, 2013.
Once it is approved, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
will assess and assign the schedule for the drug before it is
Suvorexant belongs to a new class of medicines called orexin
receptor antagonists which target and block orexins. However, we
note that the insomnia market is highly competitive and genericized
especially given the presence of generic versions of
Sanofi's ( SNY ) Ambien.
Merck currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). At present,
companies like Catalyst Pharmaceuticals Partners
Inc. ( CPRX ) and
Salix Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. ( SLXP ) look attractive
in the pharma space. Both are Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)

|Osteogenetic epithelial-mesenchymal cell interactions.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 954314 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|FL, HeLa and other non-murine epithelial cells are capable of inducing chondroosseous differentiation when brought into contact with mouse thigh mesenchymal cells. Immunosuppression as produced by cortisone or mouse antilymphocyte serum is required to prevent rejection and to allow growth of the foreign epithelial cells. Cartilage appears within 7 days and bone within 9 days following epithelial cell injection. Electron microscopic studies indicate that the induced cartilage and bone is normal in basic strucutre, and that calcification is mediated by extracellular matrix vesicles. Various forms of mechanical and chemical injury have consistently failed to stimulate cartilage or bone formation in the mouse thigh. Explantation of preosseous thigh tumors to mouse brain allows continued growth of human and mouse cells with development of cartilage or bone in 67 per cent of implants. Microscopy indicates cartilage and bone formation by many mesenchymal cells which are not in direct contact with epithelium. To account for this, two mechanisms of bone induction are envisioned: (1) short-range diffusion of inductive substance(s) and/or (2) transfer of the inductive stimulus by direct surface contact from epithelial cell to mesenchymal cell to mesenchymal cell and so on.
