Finding Japanese food, connections in state
The Japan-America Society of Vermont (JASV) will host a New Years party from noon to 2 p.m. Jan. 9 at the JASV office at 29 Ethan Allen Avenue in Colchester. The event is potluck; bring a dish to share. Go to jasv
.org or call 655-4197 for more information on this event or other JASV activities.
The Highland Lodge in Greensboro will host its second annual Japanese Bistro Night on March 1. Go to www.highlandlodge.com or call 533-2647 for more details.
GREENSBORO Early last week, two very different culinary worlds met in the large kitchen at the Highland Lodge.
As snowflakes drifted down over the lodges popular cross-country ski trails, longtime baker Ginette Demers deftly kneaded 18 loaves of bread for the inns winter season opening weekend and then moved on to big batches of chocolate chip cookies and brownies.
On the other side of the long commercial kitchen counter, Yukiyo Matsuzaki-Smith sliced daikon radish and put some dried black mushrooms to soak as she prepared to share a few recipes from a traditional Osechi Ryori, the New Years feast of her native Japan.
Matsuzaki-Smiths mother-in-law, Wilhelmina Smith, kept an eye on all the activity. That looks great, she said. Were just going to have to do that for next New Years.
Wilhelmina Smith and her husband, David, are the second generation of Smiths to run the cozy inn since his family bought the property in 1954. The couples only child, Alex, grew up in Greensboro and became interested in Asia in high school when he spent time in China. He attended college in Japan where he met his future wife. They were married in 2002 and moved back to Vermont five years later with their two young children, now 7 and 4.
We are ecstatic they have come back, said David Smith, swinging through the kitchen to greet a visitor in Japanese.
Alex Smith continues to work as a translator of books, manga (Japanese comics) and electronic games, but he and his wife are taking on more responsibility around the lodge. We like to think theres another generation taking over, Wilhelmina Smith said with a smile.
Vermont curry?
There is no plan to turn the inns homey American menu completely over to sushi and noodle soup, but last year Matsuzaki-Smith did host her first Japanese bistro night with dishes such as the large vegetable-studded pancakes similar to Korean Pa Jeon and Japanese-style curry made with the most popular brand of curry sauce in Japan, oddly named Vermont curry.
When I tell people in Japan about Vermont, Matsuzaki-Smith said, They all say, Oh, Vermont is famous for curry.
You wont find Vermont-brand curry in Vermont. Its hard to find many authentic Japanese ingredients. This proves a stumbling block to preparing the special Osechi Ryori meal that is typically eaten three mornings in a row starting on New Years Day.
Reiko Kida of Essex Junction moved to the United States from her hometown of Kobe in western Japan almost 30 years ago. The ESL and Japanese language instructor maintains the tradition of serving Osechi but, she said via e-mail, We can do only some of the menu because of the very limited supply of Japanese ingredients here.
Kida, who is a board member of the Japan-America Society of Vermont, is working with Thai Phat Oriental Food Market on North Street in Burlington to help them identify and carry more Japanese ingredients.
Matsuzaki-Smith had some ingredients on hand from Japan, such as dashi, a stock base that is a foundation of Japanese soups. For her Osechi Ryori preparations, a friend delivered daikon radish and mochi, a special rice cake, which she found at Burlingtons City Market. A visitor brought chestnuts, lotus root and Japanese sweet potatoes from Thai Phat.
This is my first time making Osechi Ryori. At home, my mother does it, Matsuzaki-Smith, 37, admitted, as she organized her ingredients and serving dishes.
Each recipe prepared for Osechi Ryori has a specific symbolism and the food is served in a set of special lacquered square dishes called jubako stacked at least three high to represent layers of good fortune, Matsuzaki-Smith explained.
I got this as a wedding present, she said, showing off her shiny black jubako with a striking golden pine tree design up its side. Ive never used it before.
Make-ahead meals
Most of the foods were traditionally prepared ahead and pickled, salted or highly sweetened to last for three days at room temperature in an era before refrigeration. It was so the wife did not have to cook for those days, Matsuzaki-Smith said.
The end of the year is like before Christmas and Thanksgiving and spring cleaning all together. Its so busy, said Matsuzaki-Smith, who grew up in a suburb of Tokyo. You clean the whole house, change the shoji the paper in the screens and clean the tatami mats. I didnt like it when I was a kid because it was so cold outside although not as cold as here and you have to open all the windows to get everything clean. Its kind of like right now at the lodge getting ready to open for the winter.
Just preparing the meal does not replicate the experience of New Years in Japan, Kida said. Here in the United States, she wrote, I miss not only the food of Osechi as a Japanese delicacy, but also the entire atmosphere of the special New Year celebration ... the aroma of the Osechi food my mother prepared in the hectic schedule of the end of the year, as well as the quiet celebration of the New Year as a family tradition. It makes up a large part of my childhood memories.
But even in Japan these days, Kida and Matsuzaki-Smith said, fewer families prepare a full Osechi Ryori meal and many stores sell boxes of prepared foods for the New Year. They can be really expensive, Matsuzaki-Smith said, as much as $200 for four people.
Wearing a blue patterned samue, a Japanese working jacket with three-quarter-length sleeves, Matsuzaki-Smith started a pot of water on the stove for ozoni, an important New Years dish with many regional variations.
Its soup with toasted rice cake that people eat at the New Year, she explained. Ozoni is interesting because every region has different tastes and ingredients and within the region every family has its own style. For instance, my moms ozoni is Kanto-style from eastern Japan because her father grew up in Kanto, even though my mother grew up in northern Japan. My father grew up in the Kanto region, but at his house they put a ton of seaweed on top because they live near the ocean.
This is just one way of making ozoni, she said, the way my mom made it.
Symbolic food
Matsuzaki-Smith had also prepared a couple of dishes ahead and was pleasantly surprised with how they had turned out.
Gingerly sampling one of the black beans she had soaked from dry beans and then cooked with sugar, water and soy sauce to make kuromame, she explained, Mame means to be healthy so this is to help you be healthy all year. And Mame also means hard work.
It tastes right, she concluded happily.
A small container of cooked shrimp in their shells was also a success, although, she said, At home we would use the big black tiger shrimp with the head on. The shrimp had been boiled in a sake and soy mixture and then left to marinate for a few days. The curve of the shrimp is like the curved spine of someone old so they represent longevity, Matsuzaki-Smith said.
She had also cooked and mashed some butternut squash to stand in for the Japanese sweet potatoes she did not think could be found in Vermont. That went on the stove in a pot and roasted chestnuts were added, along with some aji-mirin, sweet cooking rice wine, to approximate the chestnuts in syrup that would be used in Japan to make a dish called kuri kinton.
It has to be golden in color because it symbolizes money, Matsuzaki-Smith said. Taking a taste, she smiled, This was my favorite when I was young.
The daikon and carrot she had carefully cut into matchsticks were sprinkled with salt and set aside while Matsuzaki-Smith boiled together a dressing of unseasoned rice vinegar, sugar and a little more salt, which she then poured over the raw vegetables before adding a sprinkle of dried yuzu powder from Japan. Yuzu, she explained, is a type of Japanese citrus. It would be better to use fresh zest but I dont have that here, she said.
The resulting dish of lightly pickled carrot and daikon is called namasu and its white and orange shades symbolize white and red, lucky colors featured in weddings and other celebrations. The color is important. Red and white are auspicious, Matsuzaki-Smith said. She used the same mixture to dress lacy slices of lotus root whose holes represent the ability to see a good future.
The ozoni was simmering away on the stove by this point, its savory steam mingling with the scent of the inns brownies baking in the oven. Matsuzaki-Smith had used what looked like a tea bag of dashi broth seasoning made with konbu seaweed and bonito fish shavings. My grandma used to scrape from the dry bonito straight into the soup, she said.
After adding the mushroom soaking water, some more julienned daikon radish and carrot and sliced mushrooms, she finished the soup with a little chicken meat and some spinach for color although my mom used a special green herb I cant get here, she said.
A key ingredient in the soup was squares of baked mochi, a special celebratory rice cake made from glutinous rice that has been steamed, pounded to a paste and shaped into flat or round cakes. Matsuzaki-Smith cut small flat pieces from a large sheet and put them into the oven from which they emerged transformed into little puffy golden pillows.
Before the New Year, my mom would make mochi with a big electric mochi maker, she said. She would steam rice and then the machine would beat it until it was a paste. You can also do it with a hammer. It goes in soup and you can also brush it with soy and wrap it in nori and eat it as a snack.
Its texture is uniquely sticky and chewy. You have to be careful with mochi, Matsuzaki-Smith warned, its easy to choke on.
She ladled up a bowl of soup, popped in a pillow of mochi, gave it a final sprinkle of yuzu powder and inhaled, I love that smell.
When everything was ready, Matsuzaki-Smith carefully arranged the foods in one of her jubako dishes decorated with sprigs of pine, another lucky symbol.
Making adjustments
A few key dishes were missing for lack of ingredients such as tai, sea bream known as the king of fish, and served at New Years partly because the word medetai means happy or lucky.
Nor were there salted and dried fish roe, the fish eggs symbolizing fertility, or omelets filled with fish paste, which would be rolled like a book to represent a good education and a rich culture, Matsuzaki-Smith said.
However, what she had managed to prepare was impressive.
Between two fragrant steaming bowls of ozoni, a striking variety of colors and forms represented a years worth of good fortune: lotus root with holes through which to see a good future, golden-hued butternut squash puree with chestnuts for money and wealth, daikon radish and carrot salad in lucky colors, soy and
sake-marinated shrimp representing longevity and sweet black beans for health and hard work.
I cant believe I did this, said Matsuzaki-Smith, stepping back to survey her work with a big smile. I dont know if people would like it, but it looks good.

ROCKY RIVER -- The first green-renovated luxury home in Northeast Ohio is now complete.
Beverly Maloney-Fischback, CEO, Founder & Publisher of Organic Spa Magazine, the nation's leading eco-lifestyle consumer magazine, and her husband, David Fischback, President of Cleveland-based construction firm, The Krill Co., were the brains behind the work.
"What is unique about this project is that it is the renovation of an existing home using the latest in green-build technologies," says Maloney-Fischback. "Of course we are seeing greater use of green materials in new construction projects. But we would like to see an increased focus on the tremendous opportunities to use these same elements in the renovation of older homes."
The couple worked with award-winning green architectural firm, AODK Inc., based in Lakewood, to convert a brick colonial home in the Cleveland-area suburb of Rocky River into the first eco-luxury home in the region.
The couple and their two children recently moved into the home and a Media Open House is scheduled for March 21.
The project, dubbed The Rocky River Green Home, features a touch of almost every green-build design element available to homeowners today. Solar panels, grey water recycling, rainwater harvesting, high-efficient heat pump system, Energy Star appliances, LED lighting, luxury bamboo flooring, eco-friendly plumbing fixtures and a sophisticated energy-efficiency monitoring system top the list of green-build features.
In addition to the second story yoga room, special design features include a luxury green kitchen, a sauna room and a striking master bedroom suite with an eco-spa themed master bath.
All the building materials, interior design elements and furnishings were sourced based on their level of sustainability, durability and quality.

A report by a presidential panel on ways to improve how this nation conducts elections served as a reminder that voting is indispensable to the democratic process. It's a right not to be trifled with by those who presume to decide who gets to vote and who doesn't, whether for naked partisan advantage or in some misguided effort to combat relatively rare voter fraud.
The Presidential Commission on Election Administration made its recommendations recently in a 112-page report to President Obama. Led by Washington attorneys, Robert F. Bauer, a Democrat, and Benjamin L. Ginsburg, a Republican, the commission offers a sensible package of reforms to improve a confusing, outmoded system, even as it provides a tool for citizens fighting for their rights against politicians - in Texas and elsewhere - determined to disenfranchise them.
On the sensible side, the commission declared that no one should have to wait more than 30 minutes to vote and endorsed online voter registration and early voting, practices that some Republicans have sought to curtail. The commission also warned of an "impending crisis" as electronic voting machines age.
The commission made a conscious effort to avoid such contentious issues as voter fraud or suppression, voter ID laws or protection for minorities in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to strike down a portion of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965. Still, many of the panel's recommendations were an implicit refutation of those around the country who have been trying, with notable success, to disenfranchise voters.
The commission concluded that voter fraud is "rare, but when it does occur, absentee ballots are often the method of choice." Election officials in Texas and elsewhere need to heed a commission warning about aging electronic voting machines that are about to wear out. Unfortunately, Congress has not appropriated money to buy new machines.
Athletes should be the real stars of the Winter Olympics
If you're weary of all the buildup to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia - the bare-chested president Vladimir Putin, athletes' odd-looking uniforms, computer hacking, potential terrorist attacks, blatant discrimination against gay people and, now breaking, journalists unhappy with their Third World hotel rooms - here's much more positive news.
The first competition in the Games started Thursday in Sochi, and the Opening Ceremony will be Friday.
After all the recent controversies, this is, we can hope, when much of the narrative tilts positively toward what the athletes are accomplishing.
Thanks to live television, plus tape-delayed broadcasts in prime time, Americans could witness some amazing performances until the Olympics end on Feb. 23.
Don't worry if the names of the U.S. athletes aren't familiar; they seldom are for many winter sports. But the events still ought to attract large audiences.
The figure skating competition will be elegant, the downhill skiing fast and furious, the bobsledding medalists decided by the hundredths of a second, the snowboarding ridiculously perilous and the cross country skiing an endurance test for the ages.
More than likely, we'll still hear about Russian corruption, cost overruns at the Olympic venues and various protests during the next few weeks. These stories also deserve attention.
But as so often happens at the Olympics - and often out of nowhere - athletes will put their own stamp on the Games with some brilliant performances on the ice or snow.
Thousands of talented women and men will be competing fiercely to win gold, silver and bronze medals in Sochi, many after training a lifetime to get there. This is their time to shine.

Explaining the Irrational
Page 2 of 2
Investors often group companies into categories, viewing them as either good or bad. If they see a company as especially good, most people hold onto their shares even when it announces bad news. Mullainathan found, however, that if there is bad news from a company that is just barely in the good category, investors overreact and sell their shares: in their minds, the company has fallen into the bad category. During the Internet boom, companies "tried to get into the Internet category," redefining their businesses. Mullainathan cites networking company 3Com, which in an effort to boost the price of its stock, issued press releases that aimed to reposition the company. Mullainathan's research shows that the more knowledge people had about investing, the less likely they were to group 3Com with Internet companies.Gabaix studies a different but similar set of problems that are related to the way people process information. People face complex problems every day, he says, and they take shortcuts that lead them to make irrational decisions. Gabaix points out that although it's not unusual for people to have inadequate information about their options, traditional models don't take this into account.
The tendency to make decisions on the basis of inadequate information and with a limited ability to process it helps explain the volatility of the stock market, Gabaix says. Although a given company looks much the same from one day to the next, its shares may fluctuate wildly as people make ill-informed decisions about buying and selling its stock.
Prelec offers another explanation for stock market volatility. Economists' assumptions about rationality don't capture the complexities of decision-making processes. Furthermore, he says that people's valuations of goods are often not based on the goods' underlying value.
Building models that explain irrational behavior is a leap forward in economics. But no matter how robust the new models, people will always make decisions that stump economists. After all, people invariably behave in ways that defy models, including ones that explain their irrationality.

Thanks for all the feedback, it is exactly what I need to make it better.
After all of the comments on the stability in the long run of the 3' box I'm going to add some diagonal supports on the bottom to make sure it never moves at all. If it were only me going on the ramp I'd probably say fuck it and just not worry about it (it is really strong, I would feel safe jumping on it repeatedly), but it's not only me going on it. It's going to be friends too and I wold feel terrible if something happened.
To reiterate, the sawhorse is
Extremely temporary
as in tomorrow I'm making a replacement. my friend had to stabilize it until he took the picture. It is not safe at all.
One of the things I am most proud of is figuring out how to attach the ramp to the platform. It is definitely not just drywall screws.
These pictures are from the top box, and it shows 3 2x4's with 1 1/4" holes through them
This is the top of the ramp with 4 2x4's with holes drilled through them
this is the 1 1/8" dowel that goes through them to lock them together.
I really went for overkill on the strength of this. The pieces connected to the ramp have a minimum of 5 3 1/2" screws. The only thing that could be worse than the ramp collapsing would be the whole tower collapsing.
Really, thanks for all the help guys. Every piece of advice that you guys give me is one less trip to the hospital this winter

"This year has been a nightmare," sings Timo Kotipelto in the first line of the first song of "Stratovarius". He's not kidding — mainman Timo Tolkki's very public mental health issues, the band's disintegration, keyboardist Jens Johanssen literally pissing on Tolkki on stage — the fact that this album even exists is miraculous. The fact that some songs are simpler, more "rock and roll" oriented, and that fan opinion has been bitterly divided on the Finns' latest output, has to be secondary to the fact that the band is still intact. Good to still have you around, Tolkki, ya big nutjob."Maniac Dance" (released as a pre-album single) definitely fueled the fire of the band's detractors — it's a simple, almost silly midtempo rocker with a throwaway riff, an "Enter Sandman" of Finnish metal, definitely not up to the band's standards (and the harrowing lyrics clash with the happy-sounding song). "Fight!!!", however, is a much more satisfying beast — a hard-driving, memorable anthem that even a lame "fight for your right" chorus can't kill off. "Back To Madness" features an epic midsection straight out of the CANDLEMASS school of Valhallan doom, complete with a guest tenor vocal and a choir! A rather dark, melancholy vibe creeps in, the further you venture into "Stratovarius", the album. "Back To Madness" and "Leave the Tribe" are positively glum, and even album closer "United" sounds more like a bittersweet requiem than a stirring call to arms. It's impossible not to hear the lyrics to "Maniac Dance" and "Fight" in the context of Tolkki's public meltdown and subsequent recovery, while the Kotipelto-penned "Just Carry On" sounds like a letter to a troubled friend. Exile, madness, and perseverance against tough obstacles — the band's recent travails are easy to find in the songs on this album. The band's newfound simplicity leaves a sense that things are a bit rushed here, perhaps out of some urgency to get the band back out in the spotlight (in a positive way). As a result, some songs don't seem fleshed out or fully realized. And a couple of STRATOVARIUS's congenital defects are still on display — Jörg Michael's bland and nondescript drumming does little to enliven things, and the band is sometimes content to coast on dated hard rock cliché or overstretched endings (see the eternal finish to "Gotterdammerung (Zenith of Power)"). But for a band that is still crawling back from the brink of disaster, this is an impressive achievement — hell, it's a more varied, interesting and ultimately enjoyable album than either of the "Elements" installments. "Stratovarius", the record, should reestablish the band as a force to be reckoned with, and will hopefully lay the foundation for a long, fruitful and drama-free new phase of their career.

Residents donate blood at the Rehoboth Lutheran Church in Rehoboth Beach.
- Filed Under
As the holiday season approaches, the Blood Bank of Delmarva hopes that some people will be in the giving spirit by donating blood to those in need.
This time of year is typically a slow period for donations, according to Blood Bank of Delmarva spokeswoman Christine Serio, because people tend to be more focused on holiday season traditions, such as spending time with family, shopping and holiday parties.
Serio said while it's not something they can quantify, she knows there is a significant decrease in the number of donations during the holiday season for it to be noticeable. ...

Making Waves Academy
Richmond, CA 94806
About This School
Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system. See Making Waves Academy's test results to learn more about school performance.
A school's Academic Performance Index (API) is a scale that ranges from 200 to 1000 and is calculated from the school's performance in the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program. The state has set 800 as the API target for all schools to meet.
Making Waves Academy had an API growth score of 797 in 2012. California uses the Academic Performance Index (API) to measure annual school performance and year-to-year improvement. Making Waves Academy's 2012 base score was 790 and the school did meet its 2012 school-wide growth target.
In 2008, Making Waves Academy had 11 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The California average is 24 students per full-time equivalent teacher.

Having failed to increase the state sales tax to fund transportation projects in the legislature this year, advocates now are looking to the ballot box.
Lobbyist Rodney Gray submitted a proposed ballot measure Tuesday that would increase the state sales tax by one cent to fund new transportation infrastructure projects. A similar proposal to increase the sales tax was debated in the legislature this year, but it failed to pass after a group of Senate Republicans blocked the bill in May.
Gray filed the proposal on behalf of former state senator and chairman of the Missouri Highway Commission ...

-CFL bulbs are more and more frequently becoming the norm in the American household. With their long life span and bright shades CFL's are always a good option if you want a fixture that performs and saves you money every year.
-Fluorescent tubes are common in bath bars and come in many different styles such as the most common T4 and T5 bulbs.
-Halogen: these bulbs are known for their brightness and long life spans. Although these bulbs get quite hot they are a good solution if you are looking for ample amounts of light.
-Incandescent or Fluorescent: We have combined all the fixtures that can use either a CFL or a standard incandescent bulb into one simple location so you can choose whether you would like a more traditional setup or an energy saving CFL configuration.
-Xenon/Krypton: Much like their halogen counterparts are extremely bright bulbs with long lifespans that will use a Xenon or Krypton gas inside the bulb.
The number of bulbs on a fixture is important for both style and function. The number of bulbs can alter the amount of light given off, but so can the wattage of your bulbs. Make sure to keep any width limitations in mind while selecting your fixture.

Eric Church
with Special Guests Dwight Yoakam & Brandy Clark

- Buy Tickets
Event Information

- On Sale Now
- View Seating Chart
About the Show
Doors: 5:30PM
Camera Policy: No professional cameras, detachable lenses, audio or video recording devices allowed for this show.
Choir Loft: For many years, Eric has been regarded as one of country music's greatest live shows in clubs and venues worldwide. To keep an intimate feel and continue a strong reputation of great shows, Eric designed a one of a kind 360 degree stage. Eric has 10 microphones on stage so he is constantly moving. The stage wasn't enough though, so Eric created the Choir Loft. The Choir Loft is a special section positioned just behind the stage. In most cases the closest seats to the stage, the Choir Loft has a dedicated on-stage jumbo screen monitor and typically starts 10 rows off the floor so that you can be eye level with Eric.
Eric Church's The Outsiders World Tour will launch in North America on September 11, 2014 with a stop at the BOK Center on November 1 with special guest Dwight Yoakam and critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Brandy Clark.
Hailed as a top entertainer by The New York Times, Rolling Stone, SPIN Magazine, and more, Church will bring his rip-roaring attitude when he performs at venues such as Madison Square Garden, Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, the Sprint Center in Kansas City, the Arena at Gwinnett Center in Atlanta, Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, and FedExForum in Memphis, among others. Church will also return to the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, N.C. where he sold more than 15,000 tickets in 2012 as part of his headlining arena tour, The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour—which Pollstar named a Top Tour of 2012.
While The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour employed a succession of backdrops as the focus of the show, Church's The Outsiders World Tour will use a much more high tech design and will offer fans a 360° view of the entertainer and his band.
Church's current album, The Outsiders, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart and the Billboard Country Albums Chart earlier this year, and his current hit single "Give Me Back My Hometown," is Top 5-and-rising. "Eric Church is working on a level that few other country artists of his generation can touch," said Ken Tucker at NPR Music in his review of the album, continuing, "Shrewd, defiant, sly and funny, Eric Church has succeeded in what he set out to do: He's using the power he's accrued from making hit records to make exactly the kind of album he wants, heedless of industry approval. And this is how good he is: Now he'll go out and — through the singles he'll release, the touring he'll do and the videos he'll make — probably turn this personal project into a big commercial deal. The Outsiders deserves nothing less."
Dwight Yoakam has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide, placing him in an elite group of global superstars. Nearly 40 of Yoakam's singles have charted, with 14 peaking in the Top 10, including the hits "Honky Tonk Man," "Please, Please Baby," "Little Ways," "I Sang Dixie," "It Only Hurts When I Cry," and "Fast as You." He is a 21-time nominated, 2-time GRAMMY Award winner. In celebration of his latest critically acclaimed album, 3 Pears, he received the Artist of the Year award at the 2013 Americana Music Honors & Awards ceremony, the most prestigious award offered by the organization. In 2014, Yoakam will appear as a recurring guest star in multiple episodes of the thrilling CBS series, "Under the Dome," based on Stephen King's best-selling novel of the same name. For more information, visit www.dwightyoakam.com.
Brandy Clark's debut album, 12 Stories, was released in October 2013 and has received tremendous critical acclaim. When reviewing 12 Stories, Randy Lewis of The Los Angeles Times wrote, "This is the country debut of the year." Clark was nominated for her first GRAMMY Award earlier this year for Best Country Song for "Mama's Broken Heart," which she co-wrote with Shane McAnally and Kacey Musgraves and Miranda Lambert took to No. 1. That song also earned Clark her first CMA and ACM nominations, both for Song of the Year. Clark has been on tour with Jennifer Nettles. For more information visit www.brandyclarkmusic.com.

I look at this girl.
She looks at me.
I look away.
She has cute eyes, long hair...
She looks at me.
I wonder where she's thinking of.
I look away.
Her earrings are silver hearts,
She's wearing a black necklace,
Leaning on one hand...
She closes her eyes.
Then she looks at me.
Our eyes meet.
My heart skipped a beat,
I... I'm melting
Am I in love?
She smiles at me.
Adorable, irresistibly cute and pretty...
I try to smile back.
She looks away.
Then class is over, everybody gets up and goes to the next lesson.
I try looking at her one more time.
But she doesn't look back at me...

A peer-reviewed report that was recently published on the website PLos ONE documents what appear to be similarities between the brains of Internet-addicted teens and the brains of teens who are addicted to alcohol and other drugs.
The small study, which was conducted at the Chinese Academy of Science, consisted of 17 teens who have been diagnosed with Internet Addiction and 18 who showed no symptoms of compulsive Internet use.
According to a Jan. 11 article on the BBC website, "specialised MRI brain scans showed changes in the white matter of the brain – the part that contains nerve fibres – in those classed as being web addicts, compared with non-addicts.There was evidence of disruption to connections in nerve fibres linking brain areas involved in emotions, decision making, and self-control."
"We are finally being told what clinicians suspected for some time now," psychiatrist Dr. Henrietta Bowden-Jones told the BBC. "White matter abnormalities in the orbito-frontal cortex and other truly significant brain areas are present not only in addictions where substances are involved but also in behavioural ones such as internet addiction."

Worldchanging ally Serge de Gheldere sends along this fiendish time-suck: Climate Challenge. We like serious games and we think climate change is the most pressing issue of our day, but sending us this little flash-based simulation of the choices a European leader faces attempting to steer a better course -- well, that's just unfair.
This thing is catnip for climate geeks. Go waste an hour.
Seriously life consuming Alex...I'd like to see how much productivity declined by sending this out to the world!
Wow. fun game. only problem is i think it may have been a little buggy. eg:I would reduce carbon emissions to zero (or past?), and next turn I would have 300 or so units of CO2, pushing me past the limits.
Also, I had a full wealth bar almost the whole game (hurrah conservation - good for economy, CO2 and public opinion) but at the end i got a score of 6%. oops?
But seriously fun game either way.

My name is Cameron J. (yes my character in "Holy" is named after myself, i am so concieted arent i?) my last name means "Mirror" in spanish, so yes i am half-spanish, i am 13 years old and am in the 8th grade.
i love skyrim, not too much but just enough to appreciate it, love writing fantasy even though ive only written a few short stories, decided to make a skyrim fanfic sense i stumbled upon a cool idea whil playing, Skyrim:dusk, check it out!!!
Romance has never been my forte, so don't expect me to write one or some cheap sex scene, cause most likely I won't. As soon as my skyrim fan fix is over, I will commence on a grand masterPiece that I am hoping will please Tolkien fans like myself; I have searched for something of similar value for years and never foun one, hopefully I can succed withou making it cliche. But for nowi am working o. Skyrim: Dusk, the war for skyrim.
anyway, a little about me, not much but its substantial enough...
i talk alot, so what? not like its gonna kill somebody. i love to watch midevil movies, stuff like Lord of the rings, Game of Thrones, and other stuff like that.
now look at this, My idol; a true American hero! i am a proud supporter of Barack Obama and i am not ashamed about it! if you ask any of my friends they will tell you about my loyalty, and also that i am never afraid to get into an arguement!
www.booksie.com/Blackdragon99 is the first that i ever read on Booksie, i would recommend reading any of her works; if you come across any of her various amount of Poems, Novels, and the greatest FanFiction ever, than count yourself lucky.
once again i return to Politics, i despise when others call poor people lazy, i am not poor myself but my father grew up poor; and his parents worked hard to support their families, poeple just dont understand and are ignorant if they say that; just cuse they are poor doesent mean they dont work, just cause they are on Welfare doesent mean they arent looking for a job. and just because someone cant afford Healthcare does not mean they are lazy!!!!
i am a Christian, but not one of those very annoying Christians, i am not one of those Christians that nags at everybody thats not like them. i get along well with other people and am fine around non-Christian, so dont worry about me going all "Holy'r than thou" on you :)
the college of my dreams! if i got into Oxford (in England) than i would be the happiest man in the world! (but i will probably have to get better grades in math to acheive that goal)
i take pride in owning an Xbox 360! my gamer tag is shiveringisles1 yes after the dlc) but if you are going to add me alert me on Booksie first, so i dont think, "Who is this perv tryin to friend me?"
i think the PS3 does not compare to the XBOX in all areas, i hate the PS3 with a passion! who cares about Resistance and Infamous when we have MASTER CHIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i would put a link to my Facebook page but it turns out that there is ANOTHER of my name in California so you will have to find it on your own, once again i say alert me on facebook first before you add me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Williams Public Art Class
On Sunday November 20, 2011 Lisa Corrin's public art class rolled out of bed at a disgustingly early 7:00 to meet for a day dedicated to art. We had two worthy destinations, Storm King and Dia: Beacon. With naps in the car we were ready to experience what we had talked about for weeks in the classroom.
Our first impression of Storm King was the view from the top of the hill outside the visitor's center. It didn't take very long…

Nanoparticles may someday come to the rescue of people exposed to chemical, biological or radiological hazards. Argonne researchers are in the early testing stages of a system that would cleanse the blood of contaminants using tiny magnetic particles and a portable, external magnetic separator.
Current methods of cleaning the blood of radioactive and other hazardous materials are mainly limited to dialysis and filtration techniques, said Michael D. Kaminski of Argonne's Chemical Engineering Division. Kaminski is developing the new system with Axel J. Rosengart of the University of Chicago.
Unfortunately, current medical procedures to detoxify human blood are restricted to only a few types of toxins, drastically limiting treatment options for exposed victims. Also, several important shortcomings exist with the currently available technology. Treatments can take several hours to complete, require the turnover and filtration of large volumes of blood, are rather inefficient at removing toxins and can be risky for the patient. For these reasons, current methods are mostly restricted to patients with kidney failure and certain types of drug overdoses.
Alternative treatments exist, such antibodies and chelators - substances that combine with and neutralize toxins. These treatments can be used for specific kinds of toxins, but are not efficient. In addition, they can cause serious side effects, such as allergic reactions and organ failure.
"The best that doctors can do for most biohazard exposure is supportive treatment," Kaminski said. "This new system will be designed to directly remove the toxic agents from the bloodstream — quickly and efficiently."
The biohazard detoxification system envisioned by Kaminski and Rosengart will use biodegradable nanoparticles between 100 and 5,000 nanometers (one nanometer is one ten-millionth of a centimeter) in size — small enough to pass through tiny blood vessels and yet large enough to avoid being filtered from the bloodstream by the kidneys. The particles will contain a magnetic iron compound and will be coated with a type of polyethylene glycol, which prevents them from being attacked by white blood cells. The particles will contain a specific protein that binds to a specific toxic agent.
The particles would be intravenously injected into the patient and circulate throughout the bloodstream, where the toxins would bind to the nanoparticle-antitoxin surfaces. To subsequently remove the nanoparticles and the attached toxins, a small dual-channel shunt (similar to exchange transfusion tubing) inserted into an arm or leg artery would circulate blood to and from an external magnetic separator. Within the separator, blood would flow through a branching array of tiny tubes, where strong magnets would immobilize the iron-based particles. Cleansed blood would continue to flow through the tubes and back into the body.
Recent tests on rats showed the system's promise. The scientists used horseradish peroxidase, an enzyme commonly used in biology experiments, to simulate a toxin. The nanoparticles were made of magnetite, a highly magnetic mineral, encapsulated in polystyrene spheres. Various nanoparticle sizes and compositions were tested; the level of "toxin" in the rats' bloodstreams fell by 50 percent in a half-hour or less.
"Although the immediate focus of the research centers on likely biological, chemical and radiological warfare toxins, the technology could be extended to other medical conditions," said Rosengart. The system may lend itself to drug and medication overdose emergencies, for example, or treatment of various chronic or acute illnesses.
The foundation for this work was laid last year when Kaminski, Rosengart and their colleagues completed a small exploratory research project that led directly to this larger DARPA-funded research program.
Future research will center on determining the optimum nanoparticle composition, finding types of receptors to bind to various toxins and developing a compact external separator that can be used by emergency responders.

When they encounter the "gigantic cetacean" it disables the Abraham Lincoln and knocks Professor Aronnax, his servant, and the hot-tempered harpooner, Ned Land overboard. The three must cling to the beast or drown; soon they realize that it is really a man-made underwater vehicle.

The Begum's Millionsby Jules Verne Arthur B. Evans Stanford L. Luce Peter Schulman
When two European scientists unexpectedly inherit an Indian rajah's fortune, each builds an experimental city of his dreams in the wilds of the American Northwest. France-Ville is a harmonious urban community devoted to health and hygiene, the specialty of its French founder, Dr. Francois Sarrasin. Stahlstadt, or City of Steel, is a fortress-like factory town devoted to the manufacture of high-tech weapons of war. Its German creator, the fanatically pro-Aryan Herr Schultze, is Verne's first truly evil scientist. In his quest for world domination and racial supremacy, Schultze decides to showcase his deadly wares by destroying France-Ville and all its inhabitants. Both prescient and cautionary, The Begum's Millions is a masterpiece of scientific and political speculation and constitutes one of the earliest technological utopia/dystopias in Western literature. This Wesleyan edition features notes, appendices, and a critical introduction as well as all the illustrations from the original French edition.
The Castle in Transylvaniaby Jules Verne
Back from the dead: the first ever zombie story Before there was Dracula, there was The Castle in Transylvania. In its first new translation in over 100 years, this is the first book to set a gothic horror story, featuring people who may or may not be dead, in Transylvania.

He vows to liberate the villagers by pitting his reason against the forces of superstition - until he sees his dead beloved walking the halls of the castle....
De la Terre a la Luneby Jules Verne
Five Weeks in a Balloonby Jules Verne Arthur B. Evans Frederick Paul Walter
First complete English translation of Verne's debut novel from 1863
From the Earth to the Moonby Jules Verne
Written almost a century before the daring flights of the astronauts, Jules Verne's prophetic novel of man's race to the stars is a classic adventure tale enlivened by broad satire and scientific acumen. When the members of the elite Baltimore Gun Club find themselves lacking any urgent assignments at the close of the Civil War, their president, Impey Barbicane, proposes that they build a gun big enough to launch a rocket to the moon. But when Barbicane's adversary places a huge wager that the project will fail and a daring volunteer elevates the mission to a "manned" flight, one man's dream turns into an international space race. A story of rip-roaring action, humor, and wild imagination, From the Earth to the Moon is as uncanny in its accuracy and as filled with authentic detail and startling immediacy as Verne's timeless masterpieces 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in Eighty Days. From the Paperback edition.
Invasion of the Seaby Jules Verne
Jules Verne, celebrated French author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in 80 Days, wrote over 60 novels collected in the popular series "Voyages Extraordinaires." A handful of these have never been translated into English, including Invasion of the Sea, written in 1904 when large-scale canal digging was very much a part of the political, economic, and military strategy of the world's imperial powers.Instead of linking two seas, as existing canals (the Suez and the Panama) did, Verne proposed a canal that would create a sea in the heart of the Sahara Desert. The story raises a host of concerns -- environmental, cultural, and political. The proposed sea threatens the nomadic way of life of those Islamic tribes living on the site, and they declare war. The ensuing struggle is finally resolved only by a cataclysmic natural event. This Wesleyan edition features notes, appendices and an introduction by Verne scholar Arthur B. Evans, as well as reproductions of the illustrations from the original French edition.
La isla misteriosaby Jules Verne
