The host Electrics jumped out to an early lead and got a solid outing from pitcher Emily Moore in knocking off the Generals.
Moore threw a five-hitter with one walk and five strikeouts for Philo (1-1), which built an 8-1 lead after four innings.
Erica Olinger had two singles and scored on a Brianna Grace single in the second to lead Ridgewood (0-1).

So why care about non-vaccinated ones, it's their problem if they get sick and are willing to take this chance, so be it.
Unvaccinated kids will contract and keep the virus alive, giving it a chance to mutate, which will make the vaccinated kids susceptible to the virus again.
I don't understand why there seems to be such a big problem with letting a few unvacinnated children attend public school. If the vast majority of the children HAVE been vaccinated and one of the children who haven't been vaccinated becomes ill the only children who would be at risk are the ones who haven't been vaccinated

That's one example, and I have heard of others as well. Plus, if they work, why would anyone care if some choose not to use them? Those that do should not have to worry, right?
Could this be true? Could it be that there is a thread about vaccines where the anti-vaccinists are overwhelmed?

What about all those children being forced to take vaccinations in other countries and receive debilitating side effects that can't be cured?
Are those children in the "small" minority that this happens to are just acceptable collateral damage?
Originally posted by Sovaka
I think those that haven't been vaccinated pose less of a risk to those with vaccinations then the ratio of side effected cases.

I also remember reading somewhere that a Flu broke out in either a pre-school or primary school among ONLY those that had received the Flu Shot.
All those kids that hadn't taken the Flu Shot were perfectly fine.

But let's all talk about how immoral it is to not give kids vaccinations that have a faulty track record at best and let's NOT talk about the real issue.

My favorite for years!

About Me Around chemical irritants, Frequent computer useage, Read a lot, Trucker
See all my reviews
My past professions have entailed extended work schedules, often in environments where cleaning and changing lenses while at work can damage the lenses, or introduce harmful foreign matter that can hurt my eyes as well. This particular brand and type of lens was the solution to that problem. If I hadn't already exceeded the recommended wearing time, I generally have to wait until I get home to clean (or replace if it is time) the lenses. Most of the time, I can just toss the old pair, give my eyes a break (8 hours for every week worn), and then replace them. I have found I must remove the lenses if I become ill (just a precaution, but especially if the flu), but allergies have no effect on my ability to just keep wearing them.My wear schedule is unusual, due to the nature of my job, and while I experience no problems with this, I don't recommend it for others. I can be on the road for up to several weeks at a time, and the dirty work environment (as a trucker) deters my ability to change them. However, excluding periods of extreme eye fatigue, where my eyes can get very dry, I've never had an issue with this, not one infection or scratch to the eyes whatsoever. I've also worn them in chemistry labs and warehouses for extended periods, with the same eye protection as others, without a single problem.I've worn other brands by other manufacturers, and have had considerable problems, including one very serious eye infection, within just a couple of days of wear (even when not at work, the time I generally will use to test new types of lenses). To date, this brand and type of lens is the only one I can trust to give me the clearest vision possible, while protecting my eyes.If your prescription is stronger than most, like mine, I recommend ordering your next batch early on, as finding my strength at retailers while on the road is almost impossible, and my unpredictable work schedule makes it impossible to plan delivery to arrive at my next projected stop.The only problem I have encountered with this type of lens is with regards to eye fatigue, because as the eyes dry out, so will the lenses. I generally will either take a rest break (a normal overnight sleep break usually does it for me), or if work conditions dictate that I can't stop for a couple of more hours, I'll switch back to glasses until I can get into a clean enough environment to put a new pair in, after giving my eyes the standard break by wearing glasses for a day or so.I also recommend, for those with prescriptions as strong as mine, that you request the type with a blue tint to them. It makes it easier to see the lens when placing them into the eye, without changing your natural eye color. I also recommend wrap-around safety or sun glasses (depending on time of day) for very windy conditions (especially cross winds), as the ease of removal, even after prolonged wear, can cause them to blow out.This is the perfect lens (in my opinion) for professionals who work mainly outdoors or in environments where chemicals, dust, fumes, motor vehicle exhaust and soot, etc, are a frequent hazard, and for health care workers who cannot chance touching their eyes, nor can just stop to deal with lenses going out of position or falling out during critical times.

Mutiny on the high seas
In the history of the United States Navy, no formal mutiny on the high seas has ever occurred, though one was narrowly averted on the storied decks of the USS Somers in 1842.
Without a Naval academy to train future Naval officers, the USS Somers set out in 1842 with a crew of seaman in training, on orders from Commodore Perry to deliver dispatches to another ship off the coast of Africa. After delivering the letters, whispers of mutiny reached the ears of Commander Alexander Slidell Mackenzie and Lieutenant Guert Gansevoort —the only two commissioned line officers aboard.
It was thought that Midshipmen Philip Spencer was plotting to seize the helm and turn the Somers into a pirate ship, a rumor that was validated when a list of crew members who would support an insurrection was found in Spencer's room, along with a drawing of the ship flying a pirate's flag.
Spencer and two others were tried on the ship's decks, found guilty, and hanged.
The story of mutiny may have faded into the annals of Naval history, but Spencer was the son of the Secretary of War and, though exonerated by the courts, Mackenzie was criticized for carrying out the hanging when he was only a few days from land, and less than two weeks from his final port of call, New York.
The USS Somers went on to be commanded by another man, famed Confederate Raphael Semmes, before it went down in a squall during the Mexican-American war, killing almost all of its crew.
If the near mutiny on the Somers sounds somewhat familiar, it may be that you've heard it before: Gansevoort's first cousin was Herman Melville. It's speculated that Melville drew many of his characters and plot lines from the stories told by Gansevoort.

Thank you Mr. Crotty for telling this story. This was lost to American history? I just wonder if there is an account of it in period newspapers? There must be.
I'll look for any mention in the many stampless letters that pass through my hands, Many, many such letters survive from this period. And, it would great to look at some period newspapers for accounts. (Yes, they are available in "Pay-per- View" databases.)
If a son of say, Robert Gates, happened to be in the Navy and was caught planning a mutiny, do you think he would be shot at the captain's orders? Times sure have changed.

The Infinix Hot Note, finally received and doing what any blogger would do; Unbox and see what's inside!
Topics: google
It appears Google has taken a dump with the dump of Google Buzz, Jaiku and many other services it plans to kill. It appears that Gmail is down globally and where it is working, it is very slow. Make that very very slow as a matter of fact. Any clues why Gmail is down?
576,900 Android Device activations a day is a mammoth number. And Google is rejoicing the number that prove the growing popularity of the Android platform. The number has gone up by almost 100,000 from June, when it was reported that Android activations total to 500,000 devices on a daily basis.
It was quite tiring to wait for Google to show updates to the Analytics on your blog or any website. There were issues with time zones, seeing if the breaking news that you just covered is being any good in terms of getting new clicks etc. While Google Analytics was a great a tool, it lacked the quickness of real time. Today it got better as Google announced Real Time Analytics Reports. Great!
What could be more demeaning than the fact that someone takes off your product in an anticipation that another product is ready to surface in the market. I would find it absolutely lousy and discouraging but then that's how businesses work, you promote what will sell. Especially when both products compete severely with each other, and both are bound to make you huge profits. I am talking about the Android and the Apple iOS based iPhone.
While Google has got the Voice feature in works in the US, it is unavailable globally. The feature is a must have, one that everyone can use, would want to use. There have been rumors about Google working on bringing Google Voice to Europe as well and soon to the rest of its global community. While this is still some time away, reports yesterday put brought forth the Google SIM. Could this be how Google plan on bringing the Voice feature to the Europe and other countries?
Google+ is set to get richer as Google today announced the release of the Google+ API. They had kept the API with them, developing the +1 button, circles, hangouts, games and while doing all that on your own, the idea to let it out in the open and allow the countless developers to play with it is something that ensures a viral growth.
If someone tells an opportunist that investing in something would result in over 100 new jobs daily, would entice him to hear more and be ready to invest. Especially if that idea is all about co-creation, collaboration and involves least possible investment from a unified body. That's what the Internet can do, mentioned Phillip Schindler, London based vice-president of Google. Well actually the Internet has been doing exactly that in the last 5 years, maybe not hundreds of jobs daily but it has definitely opened up more doors to the youngsters and almost single handedly spread the word of entrepreneurship far and wide, so much that even the guy who has no idea of what that means, somehow knows what it refers to. Paradox? Maybe, but I couldn't put it better than this.
Google Gears, email clients and what not, the idea sounds alien when you use Gmail and not have an easier way to make use of your Gmail account. With Google Chrome fast catching up and the Web being the center of all focus in terms of computing and accessibility. Today Gmail announced a brand new Web App for Chrome [download here]that resolves a long standing issue – accessing your Gmail, Calendar and Docs without the availability of an Internet Connection. And it's sweet.

Catholic complaint over song not upheldComment on this story
A complaint about a song titled 'Vatican Rag' played on Classic FM was not upheld, the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of SA (BCCSA) said on Monday.
"However painful the ridiculing of things sacred to many Roman Catholics might be, we cannot find in favour of the complaint," the BCCSA said in its judgment.
"First of all, there is no reference to God in the lyrics. Even if blasphemy were mentioned in the code, there would have been no finding of a contravention of the code in this respect."
According to the complaint the song was derogatory to the beliefs of millions of Catholics.
The complainant also said the song, dating from the 1960s by satirist Tom Lehrer, made a mockery of beliefs, rituals and things sacred to Roman Catholics.
The song was aired on Classic FM on September 13 last year in a time slot for "classical comedy".
The complaint was treated as hate speech based on religion.
However, the BCCSA found that there was no advocacy of hatred based on religion.
"To advocate means to support or recommend a cause," it said.
"There was nothing of this in the broadcast. Neither do we think there was any incitement to cause harm to Roman Catholics."
The complainant also argued that the presenter of the programme was amused when he announced the song.
The presenter denied that he commented on the song and said he was amused because he was about to play a good piece of musical comedy.
"We accept this statement and do not find it necessary to consider whether clause 12 of the code, relating to comment, was contravened," BCCSA said.
"In the result the complaint is not upheld." - Sapa

QR Codes in a BYOD Classroom (Part Two): XC Add-on Beta for SMART Notebook!
In February we highlighted ideas about how to use QR codes in a BYOD classroom. We promised to continue the conversation about QR codes by exploring the XC Add-on Beta for SMART Notebook by Freiland and found the perfect person to assist — Jeff Peterson. Jeff is the Campus Instructional Technology Specialist at Lamar Consolidated ISD in Texas. Even though the beta was just released on January 28, Jeff has already created PD resources for his district and kindly offered to share everything with the EDCompass community. Over to Jeff (and thank you)!
By Jeff Peterson
QR codes send students online with purpose
QR codes have been a fast-growing trend in education. Aside from removing the typing factor, another value that QR codes add to the classroom is they make your lessons more interesting. Just about everything is online and a QR code opens the world of the Internet to your students. Students already want to be online, so let's send them there with a purpose. We know we can get the students to websites loaded with valuable information. Use a QR code and make it quick and easy. Looking for a starting place? We've got cheat sheets for you.
Add-ons and SMART Notebook 11 software
There comes a moment in the course of education, when you find a tool that is a game changer, particularly in regards to technology. With the release of SMART Notebook 11 came the introduction to add-ons. This was a game changing moment for me. The add-ons provide a means for third-party software developers to create apps that can run within SMART Notebook. The first add-on, the Activity Builder, is installed with SMART Notebook 11 software. Recently, a new add-on was released, the XC add-on. Its current release is in the beta form and it is incredible. The XC add-on allows your students to be contributing participates in your Notebook lesson using any Internet-enabled device (smartphone, tablet, PC, etc.). With XC, the students can send text messages directly into your SMART Notebook lesson.
XC Add-on Cheat Sheets to Support District Teachers
The next step after discovering and learning this great tool came the task of teaching it to the large number of teachers whom I only see once a week or less. As an instructional technologist for multiple campuses, it is difficult to introduce the teachers to a new tool in a timely manner. The best way to reach the masses quickly is the use of what our district calls "cheat sheets". The cheat sheets are designed as a simple, one page document that teaches a single concept. They are laid out in a manner that makes them easy to follow and easy to perform. The general idea is to remove the face-to-face training requirement because for most people, a simple set of directions is all that is needed. In order to reach many people quickly, two cheat sheets were developed for XC. The first covers the downloading, installing, and starting of a session. The second covers most of the options that are available with XC. The two cheat sheets can be downloaded from here. There are also video tutorials here.
One of the valuable aspects of XC is the ease of student connection to an active session. Students can use the traditional method of typing in the website address (http://www.add2nb.com) and then the session code; or the teacher can utilize the "Insert QR Code" function. Because a large number of students are now carrying smartphones, they can use it to scan the XC QR code to participate in the lesson fast and easy. A major value of the QR code method to join a session is it removes the error factor from typing. Simply scan and the typing is done for you.
Jeff Peterson is a SMART Exemplary Educator and Campus Technology Specialist in Lamar CISD, located in Rosenberg, Texas. In addition to in-person support, he posts resources to his district's Interact Cafe for teachers in the district. INTERACT is an acronym for Integrating Technology Realistically Among Classroom Teachers. Prior to that, Jeff taught high school computer applications courses in the district.

I've been running steady for the last 5 months. Over the course of that time I've increased mileage and time. About 3 weeks ago I felt some pain on the outer part of my knee toward the end of my run after running 2 consecutive days in a row. The pain did not continue after I stopped running. I can go up and down stairs without a problem and even use the eliptical machine without discomfort. However, when I attempted to do an easy run this morning I started to get the same pain after about 1.5 miles. Should I continue to lay off for a few more weeks or make an appointment with a doctor?
I have the same knee problem as you (hate to call it pain, because it doesn't really hurt). It's never been enough that it kept me from running, and it stops almost as soon as I do. I have had it for a couple months and it hasn't gotten better or worse. I'm going to keep going as long as it doesn't get worse.
Pain on the outer part of the knee could be ITB syndrome. Or maybe a knee ligament?
Did you suddenly increase your mileage or number of run days each week? Did you twist your knee during any run, or while walking around somewhere?
Hard to say what it is exactly, but if it's ITBS, you want to treat it correctly so that it doesn't become a long-term issue (as in months of pain). Do you include any core and strength work in your fitness program? Weak hips and core can contribute to the onset of ITBS, because of all the excessive upper body twisting when the hips and core are weak. The solution would be to add some functional strength work (compound exercises like squats, lunges, push-ups, pull-ups, and core work). But that only addresses the cause. It doesn't heal the existing damage.
Stretching can help, but mostly before any damage is done. A rest day certainly won't hurt, so you might as well try that. Many people use foam rollers, but I don't know if that helps once you already have ITBS.
Injuries can be tricky, so don't expect an easy solution. If you are training for a race, set that goal aside temporarily and focus on recovering from the injury first. Do what you need to in order to recover. If it continues to be a problem, then it might be a good idea to see a doctor and physical therapist who are familiar with runners and running injuries.
Most likely runner's knee, most likely brought on by weak hips. As a simple test, try squatting, do your knees cave in?
Here is a link to a nice article on knee pain. The link takes you to part 3, it has links to parts 1 and 2.
I thought runner's knee was usually on the inner part of the knee or behind the kneecap. Discomfort while walking down stairs is another common indicator of runner's knee, but the OP isn't experiencing that.
I'm trying to remember where exactly I experienced pain when I developed runner's knee. But it was so long ago (Fall 2008) that I don't recall the exact spot on the knee. I do remember that my knee would click very loudly with each step while walking. I think it was on the inner/medial side of the patella (kneecap). The pain wasn't too bad at first. But as I continued to irritate the cartilage, the pain grew more intense, until I could no longer bend the knee at all by the end of the month.
I also developed ITBS in early 2009, but that was toward the hip, not the knee. (I also had extreme back tightness and general hip tightness at the same time. A lot of things were going on, none of them good.) In other people, ITBS affects them closer to the knee, on the lateral side. (Yes, I did get injured a lot back then. Partly because of hip and core weakness. I fixed the issues and all of those overuse injuries went away completely. I haven't had any knee or hip problems in over 4 years now.)
I had a similar issue a while back that I saw a PT about. He suggested leg lifts ( lie on your back, lift your foot 2-3 inches off the ground, then lift it 8-10 inches, then back to the 2-3 inches..repeat alot, and do both legs even if the knee pain is only in one ) That issue subsided as a result of those exercises and losing some weight.
Now I get a little knee pain when my running shoes are getting old. New shoes = no pain. If your shoes have a lot of miles on them, that may be something to look at. I generally get 4-500 miles out of a pair.
Shoes may make a difference, but messing around with different shoes can be an expensive, frustrating alternative to fixing the root cause of the knee issue.
Thanks for all the replies!
Echo - A Potomac Runner
Sounds like a case of ITBS.
I had nearly the identical issue right before my first HM a couple of years ago. I ran one of my first 10 milers way too fast to see if I could hold the pace (on way too little base mileage).
I took a normal rest day and then an easy run the day after, 1.5 miles in fire shot up the side of my knee and I simply could not run another step. I could walk perfectly fine, up stairs etc. I ended up taking two weeks completely off running, rolled, iced and dealt with my ITB. Luckily I was able to run the HM... but I do not recommend running until you can't. Deal with it now.
What do you do to strength train your quads and hamstrings?
If you strength-train your quads and hamstrings, you should do so with compound exercises that also engage the hips and core. This means bodyweight and free weight exercises. Stay away from machines for the most part. Machines usually do not work the hips and core, and they do not train the smaller stabilizer muscles of the hips and legs, which are very important for functional movement (which includes running).
You should include some type of squat. If you are new to strength work, start with an easier version, like bodyweight squats (no added weight). Always warm up before any strength sessions, perhaps with 10-15 minutes of easy running, stationary bike or an elliptical. Anything that gets all of your muscles warmed up.
Balance out the squats with an exercise that focuses on the hamstrings. Again, this should be a compound (multi-joint) exercise. Do an easier exercise if you are a beginner. Swiss ball leg curls are a good option. Single-leg deadlift with a dumbbell. Deadlift, although this requires very good technique. (Technique is important for every strength exercise, but it's even more important for heavier total-body exercises like deadlifts and barbell squats. Start off with no weight or very light weight or an easier bodyweight exercise until you learn proper technique for every exercise you do. Then only gradually increase the weight or intensity, but not every week.) Back raises are effective but also require good technique as well as good lower back strength already. Thus, they aren't appropriate for beginners.
Lunges are another good leg and hip exercise. Many options, but stick with the easy versions at the beginning. Try bodyweight lunges with no weight and see how that goes. Then you can add light dumbbells until you develop some strength. Read up on proper form, so that your knee doesn't extend too far ahead of your toe and so on. Consult with a personal trainer or a knowledgeable friend who understands how to talk to beginners. (There are many advanced athletes who simply don't understand the different training needs of beginners. They will try to push a beginner far too much. I've seen this happen among people I've met.)
Include some upper body/core work too. Push-ups and rows (or pull-ups) are good choices. You can modify them to suit your needs. Knee push-ups are an easier version for beginners. Standard push-ups work for intermediate athletes while more advanced athletes can try decline push-ups, staggered push-ups and eventually one-arm push-ups. (I haven't quite developed enough strength for one-arm push-ups. They are very tough!) Push-ups will work your core along with your chest, shoulders and arms (triceps).
You can include various core exercises as well, especially if you aren't doing heavier squats or other barbell exercises. Include work for the obliques, lower back/spinal erectors and abs. Abs are only one part of the core. Don't neglect the other muscle groups.
Some people include the hips and glutes as part of the core. It doesn't really matter how you define it, as long as you are covering all of the major muscle groups with compound bodyweight or free weight exercises in a functional manner.
Read up on strength work,with the caveat that some of the material you will see is devoted more toward bodybuilders than endurance athletes. The Runner's World website has many strength training videos targeted at runners, although some of the exercises are really more like rehabilitation and range of motion exercises than strength exercises. Those exercises are still good, but they don't take the place of true strength work. Other sites that focus on endurance sports training include Competitor (Competitor Running, Competitor Triathlon) and Active. (Yes, I know there are a lot of complaints about Active's race registration software and policies, but their main website does have interesting and useful training articles, along with some fluff and the occasional nonsensical article, which you will see on many sites.)
What Patomac Runner said. Excellent advice.
I wasn't suggesting that he needs to find different shoes...just that he may want to replace the shoes he has. Some runner's may not realize that shoes are only good for a certain number of miles, and may need to be replaced, even if they look like they are in great condition. ( The soles can lose their cushioning properties ) My experience has been that my knee starts to hurt when my shoes are near the end of their life, and the OP might want to consider the age of his shoes when looking for causes of his knee pain.
Sorry if that wasn't clear from my original post
Which, in reality doesn't mean shoes are only good for a certain number of miles, but that certain running shoes used to mask or compensate for form issues or lack of lower leg conditioning will only do so for so long.
From what I've seen, "runner's knee" is a pretty generic term.
From this article:
Runner's knee isn't really a condition itself. It's a loose term for several specific disorders with different causes. Runner's knee can result from:
Runner's knee is also called patellofemoral pain syndrome.
My point was, this is most likely an overuse injury caused by weakness/mobility issues in the hips/ankle as opposed to damage to the actual knee joint itself. From my reading there is so much overlap in the symptoms of ITBS, runner's knee, etc there probably isn't any real need to label as one or the other. If there is not actual ligament/tendon damage at the knee, the fix is going to be strengthening and flexibility/mobility work for the hips and ankles.
If you're interested, here is an excellent article by Mike Boyle (generally considered one of the godfathers of functional training) and Gray Cook (a world class sports PT) that discusses the "joint by joint" approach to training. The article is specifically geared toward the strength training community, but the basic ideas apply to runners and anyone else for that matter.
Maybe you have already checked this but make sure your shoes don't need to be replaced. I had the same issues and was looking into hip exercises, taping it, etc. In the end I went to my running store and they fitted me for a new shoe and I was fine. I could tell on my run this morning I am due for a new pair they way my knee was feeling.
Thanks for all the responses. Here are the answers I have to the questions asked of me:
1. RE: Shoes: I had been running using Adidas Climacool sneakers. I put approximately 125 miles on them before the run where I pulled my knee. After speaking with a few people I learned that the Adidas sneakers were not optimal for running, so I upgraded to Brooks Ravennas.
2. RE: Strength training: I do a full body workout inclusive of core exercises, i.e. ab carver pro, crunches, leg raises etc, for legs I do leg extensions and curls, as well as lunges with dumbbells.
The pain seems to be located in the vicinity of the LCL. I appreciate all of the responses. I believe that this was the result of too much too soon.

Because I think we can all agree that friends help decrease world suck.
Hello my name is Megan and I have been a part of the community for over a year and I have barely made friends. I have tried the chat but my attempts at conversation always seem to be looked over.
Anywho, I'm Megan and I love Harry Potter. I have a fondness for Doctor Who and grammar is pretty important. This all seems like pretty generic nerd things or at least for most of those I know IRL. I'm currently attending school for a degree in English writing. I'm a fan of social causes, particularly equal rights for all humans.
Back to Harry Potter! My house is Slytherin and has always been.
So would you like to be friends?
Let's strike up a conversation!
Views: 114
I used to know a site that had every episode of Doctor Who, but I can't find it.
Hi Megan, my name is Camille. I also have a shortage of Nerdfighter friends IRL, which is why I joined this Ning and why I think this thread is awesome! I also love Harry Potter, but I am a Gryffindor; I hope you don't hold that against me. :-) My favorite character is also Hermione Granger followed closely by Luna Lovegood.
Right now my dilemma is trying to find friends to go with me to see the screening of all 7 previous Harry Potter movies (as detailed here) but as I mentioned before, I don't have friends IRL who have the same interests as me.
I have not yet read The Hunger Games, but it seems like its all I hear about lately, so I will probably read the series soon. Anyway, I would love to be your friend. I think we have a lot in common. I plan on going back to school to study English writing and possibly art history. Other than being a writer, I don't plan on using my degree to further my career as I am a medical administrator. I just want to have a degree because I think it's an important thing to have under any circumstances. I also strongly believe in equal rights and environmental causes.
That's what I'm saying! :-)
I may just go alone. I haven't actually seen the first 2 movies in the theater because I wasn't a fan back then. I went to the 3rd movie on a lark and because a friend invited me to the midnight premiere. Of course this friend now lives in another state; she would probably go with me. It wasn't until I read the Goblet of Fire that I became an UberFan.
Nice to meet you Camille! I am a Gryffindor too! (at least I think). I'm always torn between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Have you heard all the stuff about Pottermore yet? There is going to be a thing on there where you get sorted so I guess that will put my question to rest-if it comes from JK there can't really be better assessment of what house I belong in!
I know it's stinky not having any nerdfighter or HP fans IRL. I'm slowly trying to convert my friends, and it's worked to a degree! Maybe some of your friends would get into this kind of stuff if you showed it to them.

In this episode we talk to Dario Floreano, director of the Swiss National Center of Competence for Research (NCCR) in Robotics that gathers leading experts in the field working at Swiss institutions.
Dario Floreano
|Dario Floreano is the director of the Swiss NCCR Robotics which gathers leading robotic experts in Switzerland from EPFL (home institution), ETH Zurich, University of Zurich and Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence. The center was launched in December 2010 and will run for up to twelve years.
The center aims to develop human-oriented robots that assist people in their daily lives and improve their quality of life. Examples include "care robots", "neuroprosthetic", "exoprosthetic", "educational robots" and "environmental robots". Their research is currently organized into 5 projects that they hope will result in new design principles, approaches, and technologies required for the conception and design of human-oriented robots, the materials and components they are made of, and the control methods that enable them to interface and operate with humans:
Project 1: Bio-mimetic sensing, actuation, and mobility
Floreano tells us about the role of Swiss robotics in the world, how to manage a large research center, the importance of education, and their cross-disciplinary and translational work.
Finally, he shares the latest developments from his Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at EPFL, including flying robots that physically interact with their environment (see video below) and soft "cells" that can assemble in air.

A surfer was found dead on the rocks of a Roosevelt Avenue beach Wednesday afternoon, the police confirmed.
The identity of the man, believed to be between 35 and 40 years old, had not been determined yet.
Officers were called to the area between Roosevelt and Whitehall avenues at about 4:30 p.m. A patrolling officer spotted the man face down against a set of rocks, the apparent result of a surfing accident, Capt. Earl Alexander said.
"We pulled him out to see if we could initiate any lifesaving attempts," Alexander said.
The man was pronounced dead on the scene.
As of 6 p.m., the authorities were still working to identify the victim and notify his family.
As officials from the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office and the Medical Examiner arrived, the dead-end side streets of Roosevelt and Whitehall remained quiet. A landscaping crew, seemed oblivious to the steady arrival of police cars, continued tending to tall hedges at one home on Whitehall.
On the jetty, officials surrounded the victim's body, which was covered in a sheet.

Taxonomic distribution of large DNA viruses in the sea
Structural and Genomic Information Laboratory, CNRS-UPR 2589, IFR-88, Université de la Méditerranée Parc Scientifique de Luminy, avenue de Luminy, FR-13288 Marseille, France
Genome Biology 2008, 9:R106 doi:10.1186/gb-2008-9-7-r106Published: 3 July 2008
Viruses are ubiquitous and the most abundant biological entities in marine environments. Metagenomics studies are increasingly revealing the huge genetic diversity of marine viruses. In this study, we used a new approach - 'phylogenetic mapping' - to obtain a comprehensive picture of the taxonomic distribution of large DNA viruses represented in the Sorcerer II Global Ocean Sampling Expedition metagenomic data set.
Using DNA polymerase genes as a taxonomic marker, we identified 811 homologous sequences of likely viral origin. As expected, most of these sequences corresponded to phages. Interestingly, the second largest viral group corresponded to that containing mimivirus and three related algal viruses. We also identified several DNA polymerase homologs closely related to Asfarviridae, a viral family poorly represented among isolated viruses and, until now, limited to terrestrial animal hosts. Finally, our approach allowed the identification of a new combination of genes in 'viral-like' sequences.
Albeit only recently discovered, giant viruses of the Mimiviridae family appear to constitute a diverse, quantitatively important and ubiquitous component of the population of large eukaryotic DNA viruses in the sea.

David emerging in the shadows of greatness
Published: Saturday, December 21, 2013 at 7:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 21, 2013 at 7:27 p.m.
A season likely to end with a January visit to Aloha Stadium in Honolulu began for Lavonte David with scorn and ridicule, the twin brothers of an honest mistake inflamed by circumstance.
The Bucs outside linebacker didn't know New York quarterback Geno Smith was scooting out of bounds. Tampa Bay's season opener with the Jets was drawing late, the Bucs up by 2, and David had no intention of letting Smith tiptoe the sideline.
Ultimately, there was neither a "tip'' nor "toe,'' merely David shoving an out-of-bounds Smith, a superfluous act of aggression that tacked a 15-yard late-hit penalty onto a 10-yard gain, thus allowing the Jets to triumph via a last-second field goal.
Properly contrite, David didn't allow the play, however costly, to influence the rest of his season. He continued hitting, ever vigilant to administer these blows within the field of play.
He's done it Sunday after Sunday, to such an extent that, with two games remaining, a spot in the Pro Bowl has been all but assured, but why stop there?
A case could be made that David's name should, at the very least, be part of the discussion for NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
It's a biggie, all right, and as such, demands big-time numbers. And while the 2013 Bucs have suffered enough defeats and distractions to potentially veil individual accomplishments, David's are just too spectacular to ignore.
He's the league's best linebacker fans first must pause before remembering. David's 126 tackles are fourth in the league, as are his five interceptions. His six quarterback sacks are tied for 46th, accompanying nine passes defensed and two forced fumbles.
Last month against the Lions, David earned NFC defensive player of the week honors, recording 12 tackles, an interception, a forced fumble and pass defensed.
All this while calling the Bucs' defensive signals, an indication the second-year player's mental and physical acuities are perfectly in synch.
David's season even compares favorably to the campaign of the last Buc to win the league's top defensive award, linebacker Derrick Brooks.
In 2002 Brooks finished with 117 tackles, five interceptions — three returned for touchdowns — one sack, 11 passes defensed, one forced fumble and another returned for a score.
But two of the factors that helped Brooks cop the award are ones David doesn't enjoy — longevity and team success.
The 2002 Bucs won the Super Bowl.
"There were many years I put up good numbers myself, but the team didn't," said Brooks. "That's just how it goes. In this game, it's a team sport, and your team is going to have to have some success in order for you to receive individual awards.''
In the 42-year history of the award, only five times has a player from a losing team won it, the last being defensive end Jason Taylor in 2006 playing for a 6-10 Miami Dolphins club.
Still, it's not too soon to begin comparing David to Brooks.
"It's kind of amazing,'' said Pat Yasinskas, who covers the Bucs for ESPN.com, "because a year ago when he first came out in the draft, people were already calling him the next Derrick Brooks.
"I was like, 'let's not get carried away here,' but he's surprised me. He does remind me of Brooks.''
"We understand that there are going to be comparisons,'' Brooks said, "but I look forward to seeing him make a name for himself.''
Or simply initials.
The Giants had an L.T., linebacker Lawrence Taylor. L.D., anyone?

Metalworking product review
By CTE Staff
CAM technology helps drive standardization initiative
In supporting phase one of the DMG/Mori Seiki standardization initiative, Gibbs and Associates will provide the machine tool builder's customers a smooth and reliable flow of programming data from any CAM system to the machine control. The Moorpark, Calif., company is the developer of GibbsCAM software for programming CNC machine tools. This work will enable full use of machine and control features without the need for custom post-processors and machine-simulation models. The technology is based on DMG/Mori Seiki's implementation of the standard automatically programmed tool (APT) language, with DMG/Mori Seiki extensions that are supported within GibbsCAM. The machine builder's initial focus during phase one is on its 3- and 5-axis machining centers and controls, with an eventual goal of enabling the technology for all its machines.
Currently, when end users purchase a new CNC machine or new CAM package for use with an existing CNC machine, they must work with the machine tool vendor and CAM provider to implement a custom post-processor and machine-simulation model to fully program and simulate a machine's capabilities. In this new approach, the CAD/CAM vendor outputs DMG/Mori Seiki-specific APT data and DMG/Mori Seiki provides a post-processor and simulation package for the CNC machine, thereby eliminating the need for each CAM provider to develop a custom post-processor and machine model. With this approach, users can start producing parts immediately on their DMG/Mori Seiki machines.

Filter removes fine particulate from spent oil
The Candle Filter from PRAB, Kalamazoo, Mich., removes particles as fine as 1µm from spent oil when shops are grinding tungsten-carbide tools and steel bearings, honing and EDMing. The filter uses a permanent media in a long cylinder that houses more than 10,000 thin-membrane wafers. A self-cleaning, air-driven backwash system automatically clears dirt and debris from the filter. This allows reliable filtration during long production runs, according to the company. The filter purges swarf and oil into an external receptacle for collection and recycling. An optional chiller keeps the fluid temperature relatively constant, varying 1° to 3° F.

Citizens, government agencies, and private companies were in Kearney Tuesday and Wednesday talking about everything from right-of-way rules to turbine hardware standards.
It was all part of the 4th Annual Nebraska Wind Power Conference.
The Nebraska Wind Working Group, which sponsors the two-day event, says it's a chance for landowners, utility companies, and developers to work together to move Nebraska renewable energy forward.
"There's now a sense of community that was not there before [the conferences started], said John Hansen, President of the Nebraska Farmers Union. "At the end of the day, especially in a public power state, it's important for our citizens to be informed, engaged, and talking to their public power suppliers about the kind of energy sources that they want in their future."
Organizers say one thing that this year's Wind Power Conference is focusing on is the role of transmission - both in terms of moving wind energy across Nebraska and across the country.
"Nebraska has an enormous amount of potential for wind and other forms of renewables, the real question is do they have the delivery system to export those resources?" said Jim Hoecker, senior attorney at Husch Blackwell in Washington DC and Tuesday's keynote speaker.
Hoecker says states like Nebraska need to be willing to invest in transmission infrastructure. He says without it wind won't reach its full potential anywhere in the US.
"We're going to have reliability problems, we'll have congestion which will keep electricity prices high, so there are lots of reasons that we need to get our act together," he said.
Hoecker says the region is also hoping for positive federal policies that will encourage renewable energy growth and make it easier for states to work together.

Remember Me
Kinetix's rise from their humble Denver roots into a nationally touring band is the result of talent, enthusiasm and a lot of hard work. Formed at the Lamont School of Music at Denver University, Kinetix was originally meant as a vehicle to blow off steam and play music at weekend hangouts. However, their popularity during those early days became a campus phenomenon that quickly outgrew the limited confines of house parties and campus events. Within two years of forming, Kinetix was selling out local theatres and collecting invites to summer festivals nationwide. Encouraged by the warm response, the band set out to establish themselves nationally and have been building their fanbase ever since.
The eleven tracks of 'Let Me In' were produced by Andy Guerrero of Flobots and engineered and mixed by Jason Livermore at the reputably rock and roll Blasting Room Studios. The new album builds upon the band's reputation as a live tour de force, but now heralds the rock quintet as studio musicians capable of creating an album worthy of mainstream radio play.
Kinetix is:
Adam Lufkin - Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Keys
Joshua Fairman - Bass, Synth Bass
Jordan Linit - Lead Guitar, Keys
George Horn - Drums
Apollo 11 - Synths, back up Vocals, Electronic Drums, Samples

You missed the other post then #27. Most entrepreneurs who try to get into film and paper manufacturing don't realize how difficult and time consuming it is.
I liken it to cloning an animal. It is a long process with a steep learning curve. Errors don't count, and the final product has a finite lifetime. It spoils on the shelf.
It takes time and money and will likely not come to fruition on the time scale given. Thus the comment "don't hold your breath".

If the cocktail recipe method states that you should stir the ingredients with ice and strain this refers to stirring with a bar spoon (a long spoon with a twisted stem) in the bottom half of a Boston shaker (or a mixing glass). The ice and the ingredients should be placed in the glass part of the shaker. Use the spoon to gently stir the ingredients together and then use a Hawthorne strainer to strain.
Shaken or stirred that is the question!!
So whats the difference between shaking and stirring cocktails? The difference between the two techniques is most noticeable in the final look of the cocktail and how it feels when it touches the taste buds on your tongue according to Dale DeGroff known as King Cocktail and is a world authority on cocktail making and the history of cocktails.
Dale DeGroff recommends that drinks containing only spirits/liqueurs should be stirred whilst cocktails that also contain citrus/fruit juices should be shaken. Shaking adds thousands of tiny air bubbles to the cocktail which is great for drinks like a Margarita where we would recommend using De Kuyper Triple Sec for perfect tangy orange flavour. On the other hand, Dale believes Martini cocktails are better suited to stirring as they have a more chilled, heavy feel.
However the great Martini debate of shaken or stirred can go on forever there is no right way. If in doubt, you should always ask the client if they have a personal preference in the same way a waiter in a restaurant would ask how you would like your steak to be cooked.

text: Posted 20 Feb 2013 · Report post I think it's been just about a month since I started the DKR - will post pictures when I have access to my home computer soon so I can monitor my progress. My background: Struggling with acne and scarring since I was about 12. I realised recently actually that it started right before I got my first period - I'm starting to think my acne may be hormonal especially since I get a lot of acne during PMS. I also took Plan B within the last 3 months and I remember breaking out SEVERELY afterwards which didn't help. I think that's also why my acne had been sort of worsening the past couple of months since this past summer I remember thinking it was getting better! I do plan on seeing my doctor to get tested for my hormone levels. I have used BP for the past 4 years now probably so I was a little skeptical about the effectiveness of DKR. I also use Cetaphil which is similar to the cleanser and I've been using that in my routine for about a year or two now as well. Whilst they aren't 'bad' to my skin, I definitely don't see any substantial long-term improvement. DKR so far: Week 1 - skin settled down a little, existing pimples were going away, seemed ok but I knew the worst was going to hit soon. Week 2 - awful, new pimples popping up every day and in the same areas Week 3 - noticing that the new pimples are actually going away pretty fast, but still getting new pimples, skin starting to dry up more (despite the fact that my skin should be used to BP by now - I guess it's the amount the DKR uses?) Week 4 - currently at the end of week 4, only about 3 pimples remaining and they're mostly flat, skin still kind of dry, but I can feel a pimple on the side of my cheek trying to make itself known... It hasn't been too bad so far. The only downside is that I've gotten a couple new scars from the pimples. Whether or not I touch my pimple, they still end up scarring even if they go away on its own? I use the pink mud mask from Borghese to help get rid of acne marks. Thinking about getting the AcneFree sulfur mask. Does anybody know any other good ways to get rid of scarring?

I used the sd4000 for a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland, (a dark and gloomy city) and I was so happy with the snapshots. It doesn't always achieve the perfect shot, but even then the snapshots are attractive in a unique way. Great for low-light shots and even some video

SeaStreak's Wall Street ferry is docked near the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges following the Wednesday accident in New York.
- Filed Under
A no-standing policy might have reduced the number of passengers injured in last Wednesday's accident in which the SeaStreak ferry Wall Street struck Pier 11, but experts say, just as on plane trains and buses, it would be hard to enforce.
Similar to what happens on any form of public transportation, many of the passengers aboard the Wall Street interviewed by the Press said they were standing and lining up to get off the ferry as soon as it docked. The ritual of standing and lining up can start when the boat is passing the Statue of Liberty, riders said.
SeaStreak spokesman Bob Dorn said that a ...

|Catalytic mechanism of scytalone dehydratase: site-directed mutagenisis, kinetic isotope effects, and alternate substrates.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10320327 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|On the basis of the X-ray crystal structure of scytalone dehydratase complexed with an active center inhibitor [Lundqvist, T., Rice, J., Hodge, C. N., Basarab, G. S., Pierce, J. and Lindqvist, Y. (1994) Structure (London) 2, 937-944], eight active-site residues were mutated to examine their roles in the catalytic mechanism. All but one residue (Lys73, a potential base in an anti elimination mechanism) were found to be important to catalysis or substrate binding. Steady-state kinetic parameters for the mutants support the native roles for the residues (Asn131, Asp31, His85, His110, Ser129, Tyr30, and Tyr50) within a syn elimination mechanism. Relative substrate specificities for the two physiological substrates, scytalone and veremelone, versus a Ser129 mutant help assign the orientation of the substrates within the active site. His85Asn was the most damaging mutation to catalysis consistent with its native roles as a general base and a general acid in a syn elimination. The additive effect of Tyr30Phe and Tyr50Phe mutations in the double mutant is consistent with their roles in protonating the substrate's carbonyl through a water molecule. Studies on a synthetic substrate, which has an anomeric carbon atom which can better stabilize a carbocation than the physiological substrate (vermelone), suggest that His110Asn prefers this substrate over vermelone in order to balance the mutation-imposed weakness in promoting the elimination of hydroxide from substrates. All mutant enzymes bound a potent active-site inhibitor in near 1:1 stoichiometry, thereby supporting their active-site integrity. An X-ray crystal structure of the Tyr50Phe mutant indicated that both active-site waters were retained, likely accounting for its residual catalytic activity. Steady-state kinetic parameters with deuterated scytalone gave kinetic isotope effects of 2.7 on kcat and 4.2 on kcat/Km, suggesting that steps after dehydration partially limit kcat. Pre-steady-state measurements of a single-enzyme turnover with scytalone gave a rate that was 6-fold larger than kcat. kcat/Km with scytalone has a pKa of 7.9 similar to the pKa value for the ionization of the substrate's C6 phenolic hydroxyl, whereas kcat was unaffected by pH, indicating that the anionic form of scytalone does not bind well to enzyme. With an alternate substrate having a pKa above 11, kcat/Km had a pKa of 9.3 likely due to the ionization of Tyr50. The non-enzyme-catalyzed rate of dehydration of scytalone was nearly a billion-fold slower than the enzyme-catalyzed rate at pH 7.0 and 25 degrees C. The non-enzyme-catalyzed rate of dehydration of scytalone had a deuterium kinetic isotope effect of 1.2 at pH 7.0 and 25 degrees C, and scytalone incorporated deuterium from D2O in the C2 position about 70-fold more rapidly than the dehydration rate. Thus, scytalone dehydrates through an E1cb mechanism off the enzyme.

Brown Bag Speakers Series
The annual Gender Studies Brown Bag Speakers Series will meet monthly in 2012-13, on Wednesdays, 12:00-1:00, in Mackintosh-Corry Hall, Room D326.Our fall term events are described below.
Winter Series
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
"Theorizing OxyContin: Women, Painkillers and the Racial State". Dr. Sammi King, Associate Professor, School of Kinesiology and Health Studies, Cross-appointed Gender Studies. The subject of an intense public panic in Ontario since 2009, the prescription painkiller OxyContin provides a rich site through which to explore connections between pharmaceutical consumption, economic marginalization, state regulation, and gendered and racial embodiment. Rejecting widely held notions of OxyContin as either panacea or plague, this research is guided by the notion that the reality of painkilling and drug use lies in the cultural contexts that give meaning to the transmutations and pluralities of these practices.
Wednesday, March 20, 2013
"Music and the 'Feminized' Peacekeeper at the Canadian War Museum". Dr. Kip Pegley,Associate Professor, School of Music, Cross-appointed to Gender Studies, Researcher, Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research. All museums are designed to shape public opinion and the Canadian War Museum's programme is no exception. Here, music is carefully implemented in seven sites that move chronologically through the exhibits. Kip Pegley explores how sound contributes to a compelling and particular narrative of Canadian history, designed to persuade visitors that we are singular, benevolent, and critically needed on the international scene, thus justifying the government's decisions to send its military into dangerous conflict zones.
Fall Series
Wednesday, September 19, 2012
"Economy and Survival of the Hidjra Community". Dr. Sylvat Aziz, Associate Professor, BFA Program, Cross-appointed Gender Studies. Dr. Aziz' research draws upon Islamic material culture and the visual intersections of art and science. This presentation will address the social, religious and political status of the urban hidjra population in Pakistan.
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
"Slavery and Its Afterlife: The Case of Trayvon Martin". Dr. Barrington Walker, Associate Professor, History, Cross-appointed Gender Studies. His most recent publication is a collection of essays titled, The African Canadian Legal Odyssey: Historical Essays (Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History and University of Toronto Press).Influenced by the ideas of Saidiya Hartman and David Austin, this paper examines the Trayvon Martin shooting as a case study of issues of race, gender, and the rule of law in early twentieth century North America. The paper will take up Trayvon's story in the context of slavery's long afterlife and the many ways in which the history of slavery shapes the present by challenging abstract notions of formal legal equality and framing and delimiting the life chances of the descendants of the enslaved.
Wednesday, November 14, 2012
"Women, Law, and Equality in the 21st Century". Dr. Kathleen Lahey, Professor of Law, cross-appointed Gender Studies. This talk outlines the history of women's efforts to eliminate sex discrimination in Canada and elsewhere and identifies the greatest challenges for today. It also discusses potential strategies.
Gender Studies Colloquium a great success.
