Effects of Training Examples on Student Understanding of Force and Motion Documents

Effects of Training Examples on Student Understanding of Force and Motion
written by
Daniel R. White and
Andrew F. Heckler
We examined the effects of simple training tasks on student responses to questions about the relationship between the directions of net force, velocity, and acceleration. Six training conditions were constructed, including a 2x2 design (abstract vs. concrete contexts) x (force-velocity training vs. acceleration-velocity training), a force-acceleration training condition, and a control (no training) condition. We found that the force-velocity and acceleration-velocity training significantly improved scores on both of these question types, but acceleration-velocity showed larger gains on the untrained question type, which is inconsistent with some interpretations of hierarchies of student understanding of force and motion found in previous works. This result implies that some students are learning the multiple relations between the variables that are typically learned in the course of standard instruction, while other students may be "gaming" the simple training tasks and not learning those relations between variables.

Stocks are bumbling along this year after a gangbuster 2013. The upward grind is underscored by the S&P 500 index, which closed above 1,900 for the first time yesterday and is up 2.8 percent for the year. That compares with a 16 percent increase over the same period last year. The Dow and Nasdaq are barely in positive territory for 2014.
- The price of oil is climbing. It ended the week up $2.33 a barrel. It rose above $104 a barrel yesterday ahead of the holiday weekend and elections in Ukraine on Sunday. Benchmark U.S. crude for July delivery gained 61 cents to $104.35 a barrel in New York. Meanwhile, drivers are paying an average of $3.66 for a gallon of gasoline, about the same as this time last year.
- Visa and MasterCard are renewing a push to speed the adoption of microchips in U.S. credit and debit cards in the wake of recent high-profile data breaches. Card-processing companies argue that a move away from the black magnetic strips on the backs of credit cards would eliminate a substantial amount of U.S. credit card fraud.
- A new private-sector job for a former Air Force official is raising questions about a major contract for military rocket launches. Roger "Scott" Correll was a key figure in the decision to award the contract to a joint venture controlled by Boeing and Lockheed Martin. Now Correll has taken a job with Aerojet Rocketdyne, which supplies the engines. The company says the hiring was reviewed and cleared by the Air Force.
- A Colorado-based grocery store chain has announced it will carry only dairy products from farms where cows graze in pastures. Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage claims grazing improves the health of cows, consumers and the environment. But Cornell University professor Tom Overton, an expert in dairy cow nutrition, sees Natural Grocers' push for pasture-raised dairy as mostly a marketing tool. He says grazing doesn't significantly change the nutritional value of milk and that animals in barns can be just as healthy as those outdoors.

It's almost impossible to evaluate the 49ers' starters after their first preseason game.
We don't know how much the 49ers game planned for the Broncos – probably not very much. And the starters played just one series. Frank Gore and Justin Smith did not play at all.
That should change next week. Gore should get at least four carries and a couple of passes thrown his direction just to get his feet wet. The starters should play the whole first quarter. And in the third exhibition game, the starters should play the entire first half and the coaches definitely will introduce scouting reports and full game plans.
49ers vs. Broncos Preseason
Until then, the backups deserve most of the scrutiny.
But before I get to the backups, I have one observation about the starters: They still have serious work to do with their passing game.
The 49ers' offense is dominant when it stays "ahead of the chains" and defenses cannot predict whether Colin Kaepernick is going to pass the ball, hand it off or run it himself. I'm talking first-and-10, second-and-6, third-and-2.
When the 49ers fall behind the chains (second-and-10, third-and-6, third-and-10) due to a bad play or a penalty, the 49ers' offense becomes subpar for at least two reasons:
1. The 49ers do not have a legitimate split end. A.J. Jenkins was supposed to be that player – the 49ers drafted him in the first round last year – but he's mostly passive on the field. Against the Broncos Thursday night, he fumbled the one pass he caught. It was embarrassing. Unless he turns it around fast – and let's face it, he probably won't – the 49ers will have to use a combination of Kyle Williams (sixth-round pick in 2010) and Marlon Moore (undrafted free agent in 2010) at split end. Between the two of them, they have 47 career catches.
2. The 49ers'offensive line struggles in pass protection. They're big guys built to run block. Once running isn't an option, like on third-and-10, the 49ers' big blockers are vulnerable, especially right tackle Anthony Davis. He gave up a team-high 45 QB pressures last season (9 sacks, 5 hits and 31 hurries). Considering how infrequently the 49ers found themselves in pure passing downs last season, that's a high number. Against the Broncos Thursday night, Davis could not handle Von Miller. On second-and-10, Davis committed a false start penalty because it seemed he was worried Miller would beat him around the outside, so Davis jumped back a second too soon. Two plays later on third-and-19, Miller spun around Davis to the inside and forced Kaepernick to roll out of the pocket and throw a pass 7 yards short of the first-down marker.
These passing-game problems probably will persist for the 49ers this season. They must work around them.

Renee at Pet-I-Care is the very best!
posted 7 years ago
I've been taking both my dog and cat to Pet-I-Care for more years than I can recall. I don't live near the shop, but would never consider bringing my girls anywhere else for their beauty treatments.
My cat actually enjoys being shaved by Renee (she does such a fine job), and I swear my dog breaks into a smile when she sees Renee!
I can tell that Renee is a very caring person - not only for the pets, but also for her customers and staff. She certainly chose the right name for her business!
It's a pleasure doing business with Pet-I-Care!
Pros: Highly efficient and knowledgable staff
Cons: not a super amount of space, but Renee makes it work!

cherry almond granola
In the spirit of the New Year, I was thinking about flexibility. Mostly about how I am not, currently, feeling very flexible, and how I had better get these winter bones back into a fitness routine. I'm no spring chicken, but I'm not old enough to be feeling quite this creaky.
I love the flexibility of granola, too. It's a perfect winter breakfast served with hot milk or sprinkled over a steaming bowl of oatmeal. But it's also great in the summertime, served with fresh cool yogurt, a bowl of just-picked berries, or even some homemade vanilla ice cream. Mmmm.
And of course, you can always just scoop handfuls out of the bowl and eat it plain. Not that I've been doing that this afternoon, or anything.
Cherry Almond Granola
4 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup roasted, salted sunflower seeds
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
6 tablespoons butter (salted is fine)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup dried cherries
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Butter a half sheet pan (or jelly roll pan). Mix oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Combine butter, honey and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
Pour over oat mixture and stir until well combined. Spread granola on baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool WITHOUT STIRRING. Once granola has cooled, break into chunks and mix in cherries.
Another beautiful thing about granola's flexibility is that it doesn't mind being adapted. Don't like cherries? Feel free to add raisins or dried apricots or whatever your heart desires. Almonds make you crazy? Well, go ahead and leave 'em out. Or substitute pecans or pistachios instead. I won't think any less of you. Think of this recipe as your blank canvas, and swap in or out as much as you'd like. You'll end up with your own personalized granola. And isn't that what flexibility is all about?

|Complex Bilobular, Bisaccular, and Broad-Neck Microsurgical Aneurysm Formation in the Rabbit Bifurcation Model for the Study of Upcoming Endovascular Techniques.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21310858 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Despite rapid advances in the development of materials and techniques for endovascular intracranial aneurysm treatment, occlusion of large broad-neck aneurysms remains a challenge. Animal models featuring complex aneurysm architecture are needed to test endovascular innovations and train interventionalists. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eleven adult female New Zealand rabbits were assigned to 3 experimental groups. Complex bilobular, bisaccular, and broad-neck venous pouch aneurysms were surgically formed at an artificially created bifurcation of both CCAs. Three and 5 weeks postoperatively, the rabbits underwent 2D-DSA and CE-3D-MRA, respectively. RESULTS: Mortality was 0%. We observed no neurologic, respiratory, or gastrointestinal complications. The aneurysm patency rate was 91% (1 aneurysm thrombosis). There was 1 postoperative aneurysm hemorrhage (9% morbidity). The mean aneurysm volumes were 176.9 ± 63.6 mm(3), 298.6 ± 75.2 mm(3), and 183.4 ± 72.4 mm(3) in bilobular, bisaccular, and broad-neck aneurysms, respectively. The mean operation time was 245 minutes (range, 175-290 minutes). An average of 27 ± 4 interrupted sutures (range, 21-32) were needed to create the aneurysms. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the feasibility of creating complex venous pouch bifurcation aneurysms in the rabbit with low morbidity, mortality, and high short-term aneurysm patency. The necks, domes, and volumes of the bilobular, bisaccular, and broad-neck aneurysms created are larger than those previously described. These new complex aneurysm formations are a promising tool for in vivo animal testing of new endovascular devices.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Comfort and weakness are linked. You don't want to be so focused on maintaining a certain comfort level that you find it difficult to make decisions based on your values. Prefer comfort, but don't require it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your desires intersect with the needs of another, and the result is a moment you'll look back on and deem "perfect." It will feel as though a plan (that you never made) is coming together.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): With your guiding planet, Mercury, now direct, you're a master communicator. You have a variety of ways to send and receive messages, including via your thoughts.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): A surge of fresh energy and curiosity puts you in a daring mood. You're not trying to impress anyone, and yet you can't help yourself. It's a natural result of your confidence.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your strong intentions are a force in the universe. When you want to spend time with someone, you find a way to make it happen no matter how busy you are or what else you have going on.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A strange turnaround is featured. The very thing you were struggling against suddenly seems to be giving you power. Or maybe you're just stronger because of the fight.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your loved ones cherish the acceptance you lavish on them; it's about as close to unconditional as can be. Love blossoms because everyone feels free to be exactly who they are.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Romance is the most complex flavor of love. Sometimes it causes you to run in the opposite direction of the thing you most want. Why? No explanation will satisfy. It is what it is.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You've held onto a wish even after you stopped actively pursuing it. What you couldn't seem to make happen by choice will now happen by chance. This is a matter of faith meets excellent timing.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It takes courage to reveal your heart, but it takes something more than that to keep it to yourself. Strategic self-control is called for. Consider the big picture and the feelings of all involved.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do people know what's acceptable to you? Maybe you haven't articulated it even to yourself yet. It would benefit you to draw personal boundaries and then enforce them.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Romantic love is so strange. Sometimes you want it badly and yet, inexplicably, run in the opposite direction. If you are now acting in a way that seems to be the opposite of what you want, consider that you might be in love.
Today's Birthday (Nov. 30): You'll work more for love than for money. You'll find projects that challenge you and fit in with your self-improvement goals. Then in February, all bets are off. You'll be confident, comfortable and committed to making yourself happy - all the while creating more attraction around you. A windfall comes in April. Aquarius and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 39, 2 and 17.

By TOM LEA
With the Super Bowl so fresh in Bo Ryan's mind, and with his team eagerly anticipating a rare week off between games, the 11th-year head coach used his post-game press conference following an overtime win over Minnesota as an outlet to get some laughs.
"Disney World is out," he quipped. "I saw (Eli) Manning do that thing by the way."
Currently sitting 1.5 games behind Ohio State in the Big Ten standings, Wisconsin, as Ryan stated, still has an opportunity to chase down its first conference title in five years. It still has both Michigan State and Ohio State — the two teams in front of the Badgers — on its schedule, although both tilts will take place on the road.
There's no time for this team, although it might be beaten and battered, to rest.
"We've still got a lot of edges to smooth," Ryan said. "We'll give the guys some time because there are some nicks on our team that every team has that we want to get healed up. We'll take our standard one-day off eventually within the seven days.
"It's crazy some times in basketball with the way our schedule is."
Using football as the prime example, Ryan suggested that it's difficult finding a way to reach a groove within such a goofy league schedule. When you play on as many Sunday's as the Badgers have already and will continue to play on, its schedule gets thrown off through the course of the week because it may follow a Sunday game with a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday game later in the week.
It's never set.
"Meal-wise, with the travel, for 12 o'clock games, six o'clock games, nine o'clock games on the east coast its hard to get into a routine," Ryan said. "I'm only saying that because we have to manage our time and make sure our guys won't get leg weary."
Junior forward Mike Bruesewitz, though, is all for having some time in between such an important game. He's sore.
"My ankles hurt," he said. "My whole body isn't feeling so good right now. I'm going to go see Henry Perez-Guerra (UW's trainer) after this. Things will be copastetic."

Hey CSULB Students, Don't Bother With the Surgi Masks, They're Useless!
Categories: Main
Only problem with that approach is that those masks are basically useless, at least according to this report by health nut Mark Adams, and another report today by the BBC. Even the CDC doesn't know if they're of any use, stating on its website: "Very little is known about the benefits of wearing facemasks and respirators to help control the spread of pandemic flu." People are better off, the website says, staying home and avoiding big crowds. As of this moment, the CDC is about as useless as those masks.
Surgical masks used (obviously) during surgery, are intended to keep a surgeon's spit and other liquid particles from dropping into a patient's open wound. They're not intended to protect the surgeon from that patient's -- or anyone's -- cough or sneeze or any other invisible airborne excretion (which can fly in easily through the wide pockets on the sides of the masks). Even the fancier N95 mask, which has higher filtration capabilities for tiny air particles is questionable, at best, as far as prevention goes. The only real protection, according to Adams, are air tight gas masks, which are pricier, and make the piggy flu seem a whole hell of a lot scarier than the cutesy masks.

Steph Stewart and The Boyfriends play Friday night at Lexington Avenue Brewery.

Durham songstress Steph Stewart is proud to be from North Carolina but admits that it took her a while to feel that way. Raised in the tiny town of Catawba on the likes of Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, and The Judds, Stewart felt burned-out after graduating from UNC Chapel Hill and moved to Seattle for a change of scenery.
The grass of the Emerald City, however, proved less green than expected.
"I didn't really like that as much as I thought I would," Stewart said, who plays Friday night with her band The Boyfriends at Lexington Avenue Brewery. "I really missed North Carolina, so I moved back to be closer ...

Armed, dangerous and on the runComment on this story
Johannesburg - Gauteng police are hunting for five awaiting-trial prisoners who escaped through the roof of a truck while being driven to Modderbee Prison. The incident happened near Putfontein in Ekurhuleni on Monday afternoon while they were being transported from the Tembisa Magistrate's Court.
Police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Lungelo Dlamini asked anyone with information on the five to report their whereabouts.
They are Muzi Sambula, Alex Maake, Sipho Edwin Mzimba, Sipho Mpostoli Mthethwa and Mkhulu Ndlovu.
Sambula, Maake and Mzimba were arrested in Ivory Park on various matters. Sambula and Maake were arrested for armed robbery, and Mzimba for murder, armed robbery and possession of an unlicensed firearm.
Mthethwa was arrested for business robbery and Ndlovu for a hijacking, both in Tembisa.
Dlamini warned the public not to confront the men as they are considered to be armed and dangerous. "Police transporting them were alerted by a member of the public who indicated that there was a problem at the back of the truck. On inspection, one of the prisoners was found on the roof. It is unknown what object was used to open the roof. An investigation is continuing."
Last month, The Star reported that the departments of Correctional Services and of Justice and Constitutional Development have introduced audio video remand (AVR) systems which ensure that detainees do not leave prison for court unless they have to.
It is similar to those used in cases involving child victims, who testify through a video link fed live to the courtroom so they don't have to face the accused.
It is conducted in a prison room-cum-makeshift court, furnished with a miniature dock and microphones. Warders monitoring the procedure write down remand dates and bring in detainees for their hearings.
A network link is established between the courtroom with the magistrate, interpreter, prosecutor and lawyers, and the prison room.
Only accused who are older than age 18 and whose matters are pending trial are eligible to use the AVR.
On Tuesday, Gauteng Correctional Services spokesman Ofentse Morwane said not all correctional facilities have the system; Modderbee does not.

To the mat & back
A few former wrestlers in the Brusly area have learned that wrestling does not necessarily end when they finish high school.
Two families of wrestlers – one that graduated from Brusly High School, the other from Catholic-Baton Rouge – now apply their love of the mat sport from another perspective.
Mark, Wayne and Alan Prejean all won state titles at BHS in the 1980s. All three decided they couldn't completely abandon a sport they loved.
The same applies to Austin and Landon Becnel, two brothers from Brusly who recently finished their varsity mat careers at CHS.
For Alan Prejean, the transition from wrestler to referee required some adjustment time.
"The biggest challenge was to not get excited during the match," said Allen, a 1988 graduate who won state titles in '87 and '88. "When you're officiating, you learn to be more of a spectator because you have to maintain the rules, control the safety of the kids and keep order in the match."
Alan's personal experience with officials prompted him to don the striped shirt.
"I was in the finals in 1987 and had a bad situation with a ref that almost cost me the championship," he said.
Wayne and Mark followed in his footsteps in later years. Mark joined Allen four years ago and Wayne entered the fold as a referee a year ago.
Mark said that he enjoyed wrestling enough in high school that he decided to give something back.
"It was all about the enjoyment," said Mark, a 1988 graduate and two-time state champ. "I loved it when I was participating and it was great to get back to what I enjoyed in high school."
He said he finds the sport challenging both from the eyes of a wrestler and an official, but it's sometimes a tougher mental challenge as a referee.
"You're making sure both sides are fair and the match is running smoothly," he said. "As a ref, you have to be thinking on your feet about the action happening in front of you. Plus, you have to be hyper-focused and block out all distractions, be it fans or coaches."
The wrestling bug bit Wayne when he attended meets for his nephew Dylan, now a junior on the 2014 BHS squad.
He realized during those meets how much he missed the mat action. The return also made him realize how much things have changed.
"It's a little tougher than I thought because the rules have changed since I graduated 30 years ago, and you have to be thick-skinned to be an official in this sport, just as it's the case in any sport," he said.
Austin and Landon found their way into officiating not long after they finished high school. Both saw it as a way to stay involved and earn a little extra money.
The work in officiating helped Austin develop a new found respect for the referees who so often endure grief from coaches and grapplers.
"It's a lot of pressure because you have to know the rules and you have to be confident with your decision," Austin said. "It's also pretty tiring because you go at it all day up and down, so your legs hurt a lot at the end of the day."
It also gives Austin and his brother – both students at LSU – a chance to earn decent money over the course of a single day.
"We get paid pretty well for this, depending on the tournament," he said. "There's nothing wrong with earning a little extra money doing something you really enjoy."
Landon considers wrestling a perfect part-time gig.
"It's a hobby of mine, so to watch wrestling and get paid for it is even better," he said. "I'm tired at the end of the day, but I go home with money at the end of the day – not a bad incentive."
Officiating gave Landon a better view of some things referees notice that others do not.
"You definitely notice a lot of cheap shots - a hell of a lot more from the official's point of view," he said. "Wrestling gets very personal when it gets out of hand, and you have to look carefully to see when they're trying to get that cheap shot."
Coaches often seem preferential to younger referees because of their ability to move more quickly. However, many agree that the older referees maintain the edge in experience.
"Some coaches say they prefer the younger ones because it's fresh in their minds, but the biggest issue is having a referee who can make the right calls and scope out those cheap shots," Landon said. "The ideal referee has the experience of older ones and the stamina of a younger one. That's hard to find because a lot of those older ex-wrestlers have been away from those weight limits a long time and eat all they want."
From the father's point of view, it's not a bad deal, either.
"It's a lot less stressful for a father, but I'm proud of them for giving something back to the sport they love," Brian Becnel said. "It helps out the sport because if they don't have referees, the sport can't continue."
For Wayne, a two-time state champ who graduated in 1983, it's a connection between those who laid the groundwork for the BHS mat program and those who now make it one of the most successful in the state.
"They do a really good job here at Brusly, and you see how dominant they are at state," he said. "It's something I'm very proud of because I was one of those there when it started in 1978. It's nice to see where this program has gone."
Brusly wrestling coach Jimmy Bible said he encourages his wrestlers to consider officiating as a means to stay involved in the sport.
The extra money isn't bad, and it keeps a steady influx of new officials in the sport.
"I encourage them all I can," Bible said. "It's good money, keeps them on the mat, they like to compete and be involved. Plus, for us to get better as a sport and get better referees out there, you need good young blood coming in as refs."

Until last August, the Twins never had purchased a St. Paul Saints player. Other major league organizations had bought 98 player contracts from the Saints, currently in their 20th season.
Now the Twins have acquired Nos. 99 and 100.
First came left-handed reliever Caleb Thielbar, in August 2011. At Class AA New Britain, Thielbar, 25, is 2-0 with a 2.25 earned-run average in 10 games this season. He was promoted from Class A Fort Myers after throwing 121/3 scoreless innings. His fastball hits about 90 mph.
"He's doing pretty good," Twins minor league director Jim Rantz said Tuesday, May 29.
This week, the Twins organization picked up a second Saint. The Twins paid the American Association $3,000 for right-handed closer Dan Sattler's contract and will pay him about $2,500 a month the rest of the summer.
Sattler interested the Twins because of his fastball, which has reached 98 mph on the Saints' radar gun. Don't be surprised if it measures a few mph slower on major league guns.
"Good fastball with a breaking ball," Rantz said. "He just has to work on his command somewhat and his mechanics a little bit."
The Twins are sending Sattler to Fort Myers, hoping he will join Thielbar soon in New Britain. At age 28, he needs to progress rapidly through the organization. Sattler received no signing bonus from the Twins.
"Independent ball is great, but you can't get to the big leagues in independent ball -- you've got to get with an organization," Rantz said.
J.P. Parise played 14 seasons in the NHL, but he never got to play for a Stanley Cup. The popular former North Stars captain and wife Donna will watch son Zach -- captain of the New Jersey Devils -- play in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Wednesday night from their Prior Lake home.
If the Devils get on the verge of winning the famed trophy, J.P. and Donna plan to attend the games.
"I'm a father, and I'm just so excited and happy for him," J.P., 70, said. "This is hard -- you just don't get to the Stanley Cup Finals. He has worked hard, and it's been a very fun ride for him. I'm just cheering him on, that's all."
Zach, 27, who is regarded as hockey's top free agent this summer, played at Shattuck-St. Mary's for six years when his father directed the nationally prominent program.
J.P. said he has no insight as to where Zach wants to play next season. The Wild want him badly.
"He hasn't talked to me about that, nor do I ask," J.P. said. "There's only one thing in his focus now."
J.P.'s top salary, by the way, was $150,000 with the North Stars in 1979. Zach's next contract is expected to approach $10 million annually.
Another Parise son, Jordy, 29, leaves Wednesday to prepare for another season as a goaltender in Germany.
Twenty-four players projected to be late first-round and early second-round NBA draft picks will be at Target Center on Thursday and Friday for 3-on-3 scrimmages in front of many of the league's coaches, general managers and scouts.
Those were two of Harmon Killebrew's grandchildren placing flowers on the Hall of Fame former Twin's headstone at the Riverside Cemetery in Payette, Idaho, on Memorial Day. One of Harmon's friends in Minnesota paid for the headstone as a gift to the family. The gray headstone has a sculpted image of Killebrew's powerful swing.
Third baseman Jack Hannahan of St. Paul, hitting .276 for the first-place Cleveland Indians (third-highest on the team), missed 10 games recently with a lower back issue, then on Tuesday, after a magnetic resonance imaging exam, was put on the 15-day disabled list with an injured calf muscle related to overcompensating for his hurt back.
Ex-Twin third baseman Danny Valencia is up to .267 with two home runs at Triple-A Rochester.
Meanwhile, the leading candidate at Rochester for the International League All-Star Game on July 11 is reliever Anthony Slama, who has a 0.42 earned-run average in 18 games.
Bob Dunlop and Larry Kriwanek of the U.S. Figure Skating Association will be in St. Paul on Thursday to peruse Xcel Energy Center as a potential site for the 2014 U.S. Figure Skating Championships. The skating association's 100th anniversary is in 2014, and winners from the event are expected to compete in the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
The Twins had a surprising walk-up ticket sale of about 2,500 for Sunday's game against Detroit. One broker said he sold 99 tickets on the street outside Target Field.
In 2010 and 2011, when Twins fans apparently were concerned that all games would be sold out, they bought tickets well ahead of games. This season, there have been considerably more walk-up sales.
Ex-Gophers power forward Kris Humphries, 27, becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer, but it's unlikely the Timberwolves have interest. Humphries, who was paid $8 million this season, will get a nice increase with his new deal.
Former Wild defenseman Willie Mitchell is with the Los Angeles Kings, who are in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Kings' general manager is Dean Lombardi, a former Minnesota North Stars assistant GM. Former North Stars GM Jack Ferreira scouts for the Kings.
Former North Stars President Lou Nanne, on Lombardi: "He made some real gutsy (trades) moves to get them where they are today. If they win the Cup, that's why you make those moves."

Suwarrow, the largest national park of the Cook Islands, is an uninhabited remote atoll situated in the Northern Cook Islands. Suwarrow (or Suvarov) lies roughly 800 kilometres northwest of Rarotonga and as such falls at the centre of the 15 islands that make up the Cook Islands. The islets fringe around a lagoon of about 10km across. The small land mass total area is a mere 0.4 sq km.

The reef islets of Suwarrow atoll lie like pearls strung around a vibrant lagoon. Described by Robert Louis Stevenson's wife as 'the most romantic island in the world,' the motu (islets) which make up Suwarrow are small but have a history rich beyond their size.
From ghosts of Spanish soldiers, through murder and mayhem, to a hide-out for German raiders during World War One, Suwarrow has for centuries provided the stuff of romance and an idyllic breeding ground for seabirds and turtles.
Suwarrow became known around the world in the late 1960s through the exploits of New Zealander Tom Neale, who for decades called the island home before he died in 1977. His account of his solitary life on Suwarrow, An Island to Oneself, became an international best-seller.

Suwarrow lies in the hurricane belt and its creatures have to contend with occasional cyclones. There has never really been a permanent Polynesian settlement on the atoll, probably due to the land area being too small to maintain a population and because of its vulnerability to storms – the highest point is only three metres above sea level.
An Important Bird Area
Its colorful history aside, Suwarrow is an important sea-bird breeding site not only for the Cook Islands but for the region and the world. Eleven species of seabirds breed on the island. It supports regionally significant colonies of Lesser Frigatebirds (9% of world population), Red-tailed tropic birds (3% of world population) and the Cook Islands only large colony of Sooty Terns. Excessive harvesting of Sooty Terns on Penrhyn (the only other island in the Cooks that have these birds) has reduced the population there. Although these birds are widespread, what is astonishing is that Suwarrow has the largest congregation of Lesser Frigatebirds in the South Pacific.
The atoll also supports locally significant colonies of Red-footed Boobies, Great Frigate birds, Masked boobies and Brown Boobies. In addition it is an important wintering site for Alaskan migrant the Vulnerable Bristle-thigh Curlew.

The diversity and abundance of species is an indicator of the health of an ecosystem. The diversity and abundance of these seabird species is due to Suwarrow being uninhabited. On land, in their breeding colonies, seabirds are sensitive to human interference because of their habit of establishing a nest on the ground, or in a low-set shrub.
In recognition of its wildlife, the Cook Islands Government declared Suwarrow a National Park in 1978 under section 11 (1) of the Conservation Act 1975.
Marine Life and other species
To date, there has been no in-depth marine survey undertaken on Suwarrow. As far as is known, there are no endemic marine species found in its waters. However, an important fact about the marine environment is that it is unexploited at present. Thus, Suwarrow contains an array of marine life including pelagic species in the lagoon waters of the atoll. Green turtles nest on the sandy shores and there is a large population of coconut crabs. Both of which are classified as endangered. A well-known visitor to Suwarrow's ocean is the Humpback whale.
Ship rats are a major threat on the island of Suwarrow. If not controlled, or not exterminated, the shiprat will spell the end of seabirds or radically accelerate their existing decline on the island. In 2003, a group of Environmentalists visited the island of Suwarrow for the purpose of eradicating the rats on the island. However, there is no report on the success of the eradication program.

To help ensure Suwarrow is maintained and people cause least amount of disruption to the environment, caretakers (employed by the National Environment Service) live on Suwarrow during the off cyclone season. The caretakers monitor visiting yachts, ensuring the protection of the lagoon and island environment and maintain the accomodation on the island.

Anglers 14 years and younger will be able to toss their lines in the pond during the annual Youth Fishing Derby at Lions Park in College Place April 21.
The event will be from 8 a.m. to noon or until the 200 trout placed there by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Department are all caught, said Dave Walk, College Place Lions president.
"This year's Sunday event is a tip of the Lion's hat to the Adventist community and its youths in College Place.
"The Seventh-Day Adventist community does an amazing amount of service and good works for College Place.
"Moving our event from Saturday to Sunday this year will allow those youths and their parents the opportunity to participate," Dave said in a release.
These young fisherfolk do not need fishing licenses to participate. Prizes — while they last — are given to each young person who catches a fish. Troop 312 Boy Scouts and their leaders will handle prize distribution.
Participants, their companions and other spectators can fuel up for the big catch with the Lions' annual $3 Pancake Breakfast fundraiser for the Boy Scouts during the same four-hour time frame.
Proceeds will help defray the high costs of summer camp for the boys, Dave said.
"The fishing is free, the pancakes inexpensive but the family fun is priceless. Come on out on Sunday morning and enjoy yourselves," Dave said.
The park is at 801 Larch St.
The Library of Congress uploaded the next set of long-awaited newspaper titles for the National Digital Newspaper Program, according to Shawn Schollmeyer, Washington State Library NDNP coordinator in a release.
Historic Washington state newspapers can now be searched on the Chronicling America website, chroniclingamerica.loc.gov .
Besides being able to search early newspapers from Washington Territory and early statehood, each title also includes publication information and a short essay about the paper's history.
"Take a scroll through the pioneering days of newspaper publishing in Walla Walla County, which lead to the daily Evening Statesman, 1.usa.gov/10Kmtj0, published during the period of 1903-1910.
The Washington State Library is digitizing 100,000 more pages of historic newspapers for the third and last grant cycle of the NDNP project, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and Library of Congress.
Approximately two-thirds of the states across the country are now participating, contributing over 6 million pages of newspaper content to date.
In the West, Oregon and California are current participants, and over the next few years the contributions of Alaska and Idaho should be seen.
Etcetera appears in daily and Sunday editions. Annie Charnley Eveland can be reached at email@example.com or afternoons at 526-8313.

If the Mountain Sports Festival is all about stretching the limits of outdoor recreation in Asheville, then Anna Levesque has a new stretch for you. Shell debut her new business at the festival Mind, Body, Paddle which blends yoga with paddling and seems to sum up the spirit of the festival in perfect form.
The 13th annual fest runs May 24-26, a three-day outdoors sports and music party at Carrier Park on Amboy Road, aka Festival Village. The event, presented by Keen and Mission Hospital, features amateur and professional mountain sports events, outdoor gear demos, clinics and vendors, live music, food, beer and childrens activities.
This year, said board festival chair Jay Curwen, the festival will also be home to the Outdoor Gear Builders Village, a showcase of locally based outdoor gear manufacturers, and will debut Mind, Body, Paddle, a new venture by Asheville paddler extraordinaire Levesque.
A former world champion freestyle kayaker, Levesque, is also well-known locally as the founder of Girls at Play, a women-centered kayak instructional company she launched in 2005 with female instructors teaching women. She is now expanding into Mind, Body, Paddle, to, literally, bring men into the fold.
The focus of the company is to blend the mind- and body-bending poses of yoga with core-enhancing stand-up paddleboarding, better-known as SUP.
It is the new, wildly popular breed of the already-popular sport of recreational kayaking, the fastest-growing outdoor sport, according to industry trend watcher Outdoor Foundation. In a 2012 report, the foundation found that recreational kayaking participation in the U.S. grew 27 percent from 2010-2011, while SUP grew 18 percent.
Participation in all outdoor sports across the country in 2011 reached a new recent high, with 141.1 million people tackling at least one outdoor activity such as running, biking, camping, fishing and hiking.
With Mind, Body, Paddle, Im trying to grow something more grass-roots to get more locals out on the water, said Levesque, 39, who lives with her husband, freestyle kayaker Andrew Holcombe, in West Asheville. With SUP, paddling is more accessible. Peoples legs are not trapped in a whitewater kayak, and its got that surfboard vibe.
The new venture will combine Levesques skills with her most passionate activities, paddling and yoga, to form a quintessential Asheville activity. She will offer free SUP paddling and SUP yoga clinics Friday and Saturday of the Mountain Sports Festival.
Levesque was born in Ottawa, Ontario, to an American mother and so maintains dual Canadian-U.S. citizenship. She has a degree in international studies and political science from UNC Chapel Hill and took up paddling as a teenager. At her first job, with a rafting company in Quebec, she fell in love with the sport and followed whitewater rivers around the world, as a raft guide and then later as a competitor in the aerial gymnastics-style kayak discipline called freestyle. She earned a bronze medal at the 2001 World Championships in Spain.
In her travels, Levesque found that there were very few female whitewater athletes. Back home, she started a company to rectify that, Girls at Play, with a teaching style that lets women come as they are.
Its all about creating a supportive environment. Kayaking puts your fears and habit patterns right in front of you. Whitewater kayaking becomes a vehicle for personal transformation. Its more than a kayak school our goal is to enhance and inspire womens lives on and off the water, Levesque said. Women are actually wired to feel more at ease when were with other women in stressful situations. Were all about allowing women to be who they are.
Now, Levesque is aiming to reach a wider audience to spread the benefits of paddling and yoga. SUP yoga is a strenuous workout. Just standing on the board requires balance and really works your core. It really makes you fit, allows you to be outside and to be in nature, she said. The exercise involves sitting or kneeling poses, and doing poses on the board is more challenging than poses on a mat.
During yoga classes, boards are anchored with a brick so participants wont float away during asanas. Levesque will hold demonstration clinics on the river near at the Mountain Sports Festival and regular classes at Woodfin Park on the French Broad River. She feels the Asheville outdoors community, which comes out in force to the sports fest, will be receptive to the idea of floating yoga.
The river, along with the single-track trails, forests, lakes and mountain views, will will be on display next weekend at the festival, expected to draw between 15,000 and 17,000. That includes competitive athletes, spectators and music lovers, said Curwen.
The festival has really progressed, Curwen said. Its not just sports, but its the only festival in the region that combines outdoors sports and music. When you couple beer in there we have Oskar Blues on board this year its also a beer fest. And, unlike events like the Lake Eden Arts Festival, the French Broad River Festival and Beer City, MSF is free.
The festival gets its high-powered start on the night of May 24 with the grueling Rock2Rock 10K Trail Race in Black Mountain, a race so hard that Curwen claims no one is able to run the entire way. Then theres the MSF Cyclocross Race and Mountain Disc Golf Experience, both in Carrier Park, and live music at Festival Village, including headliner Brushfire Stankgrass.
Sporting events for all ages and activity levels continue May 25 with the Girls on the Run Rise & Shine 5K, disc golf, Ultimate Frisbee, dodgeball and all sorts of activities for children. The French Broad Challenge Triathlon, the traditional flagship event, will move from Saturday night to Sunday morning this year to relieve Saturday night traffic and festival congestion, Curwen said. The event includes a 1.5-mile run, 2.5-mile river paddle, 11-mile bike ride and a 2.9-mile run. Saturday night musical headliner is Bonerama, a New Orleans funk rock band.
On Sunday the festival will also be populated with more adult and childrens competitions, demos and clinics, and the Jeff Sipe Trio will play in the afternoon. Also, the Outdoor Gear Builders Village will make its debut, highlighting 18 local outdoor adventure gear manufacturers including Bellyak, Blue Ridge Chair Works, Earthsports Designs, ENO (Eagles Nest Outfitters), Fritz Orr Canoe, Rightline Gear, Invert SUPS, SkinFare, SylvanSport, Tsuga Canopies, Watershed and others.
Were really, really excited about the Gear Builders Village and being able to showcase local manufacturers, said Teela Waggoner, Mountain Sports Festival board executive director. Theres not really another festival like it.

There are plenty of definitions for "cloud computing" and for the most part, they generally point to the same thing: taking applications and running them on infrastructure other than your own. Our world is changing through the use of the internet. You may not be aware but we use cloud applications in our everyday life for example Hotmail for email, iTunes and Spotify for music and Dropbox and Google Drive for file storage.
Cloud computing comes in three forms: public clouds, private clouds and hybrids clouds. Depending on the type of data you're working with, you'll want to compare public, private and hybrid clouds in terms of the different levels of security and management required.
Public Clouds
A public cloud is basically the internet. Service providers use the internet to make resources, such as applications (also known as Software-as-a-service) and storage, available to the general public, or on a public cloud. Examples of public clouds businesses can use are Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), IBM's Blue Cloud, Sun Cloud, Google AppEngine and Windows Azure Services Platform.
For users, these types of clouds are relatively inexpensive to set-up because hardware, application and bandwidth costs are covered by the provider. It's a pay-per-usage model and the only costs incurred are based on the capacity that is used.
There are some limitations, however; the public cloud may not be the right fit for every organisation. While Public Clouds are appealing to many businesses as they reduce complexity and lead times, because the underlying architecture is fixed, there is less scope for customisation for security and performance.
Recommended for YouWebcast: Sales and Marketing Alignment: 7 Steps To Implement Effective Sales Enablement
There are many types of Public Cloud, the most common being Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Platform as a service (PaaS), Software as a service (SaaS) and Desktop as a service (DaaS) platforms – all of which we make available to the channel through our proprietary Cloud services. The economies of scale afforded by Public Cloud computing are what make this technology highly attractive.
The public cloud is suited to companies that need to bring a service to market quickly, have less regulatory hurdles to overcome, or are looking to outsource part or all of their organisational IT requirements. Under this scenario, the business can simply sign-up for and start using Cloud Computing, online storage and other services immediately. Example of software using Public cloud is Sage One and NetSuite.
Private Clouds
Private clouds are data centre architectures owned by a single company that provides flexibility, scalability, provisioning, automation and monitoring. The goal of a private cloud is not sell "as-a-service" offerings to external customers but instead to gain the benefits of cloud architecture without giving up the control of maintaining your own data centre.
Private clouds can be expensive with typically modest economies of scale. This is usually not an option for the average small-to-medium sized business and is most typically put to use by large enterprises. Private clouds are driven by concerns around security and compliance and keeping assets within the firewall.
They require a significant level of engagement from both management and IT departments to virtualise the business environment and also mean evaluating how existing resources should be reallocated in the cloud. Private Clouds offer scope for advanced security, high availability or fault tolerant solutions that are not possible in a Public Cloud. However, as they are effectively 'stand-alone' solutions in their own right, building a Private Cloud still involves significant investment, and does not therefore deliver the shorter-term economies that Public Cloud can.
Businesses that must comply with strict regulations or that have highly critical applications will choose internal Private Clouds. With a private cloud, businesses install their own server and storage hardware but have the flexibility to shift workloads among servers as usage spikes or they deploy new applications.
Hybrid Clouds
As the name suggests, a hybrid cloud comprises both private (internal) and public (external) cloud services. Typically a business might run an application primarily on a private cloud, but rely on a public cloud to accommodate spikes in usage. Customised rules and policies govern areas such as security and the underlying infrastructure, with tasks allocated to internal or external clouds as necessary.
Hybrid clouds are suited to e-commerce. Because e-commerce sites must respond to fluctuations in traffic both on a daily and seasonal cycle, the actual work of processing the orders can benefit from the elastic characteristics of public cloud resources. On the other hand, legal regulations strictly govern how personal and payment information can be handled and this type of sensitive data is more secure if it stays "on-premise" in the Private Cloud. This hybrid solution represents the best of both worlds as it places the order processing and transactional front-end of the shop where it can take advantage of resource scalability, while it keeps the payment and account management services strictly private. Examples of companies that use a hybrid cloud are Adobe Creative Cloud and Sage 200 online.

After an account has been created, an email is sent redirecting new users to this page. You should note the project number ''{faculty_id}_{nnnn}', where {faculty} represents your sponsoring faculty's NetID, and {nnnn} is an (arbitrary, but small) number'. This will be your Unix group on the ECCO cluster, and determines whom you can easily share files with.
Initial password reset
The password sent to you is a temporary password. Before you can do anything else, you need to reset your password. Please read these procedures carefully. You only need to follow these procedures once (and possibly later, if you need a password reset)
- Choose a new password. The ECCO is managed part of the Cornell Center for Advanced Computing (CAC) cluster infrastructure. The CAC Wiki provides more detailed instructions on how to use a SSH login (Win/Mac/Linux), password rules, etc. Do not follow any of the other instructions on the CAC Wiki, since the ECCO is a separate set of login and compute servers. In particular, you do not need to follow the X-windows part of the instructions (although you can, if you so choose, but read on for a solution that most users find more convenient)
- Change your password:
- via the CAC "My Account" page.
- using an SSH client.
Subsequent connections
Subsequent connections to the ECCO are done with a graphical login using NX. The Nomachine NX client is free to use. See configuration instructions under Step 4.
Acknowledging the ECCO
We take this opportunity to ask that you acknowledge the use of resources provided through ECCO. Please send information on publications and mention of any other use of our resources to the department project leads at firstname.lastname@example.com. Documenting the utility of ECCO will help in maintaining funding for this resource.
Next step
Now that you can access the ECCO, you could transfer some data to it.
SDS users: If you have an account on the SDS, your data is already there, and you should go to this next step instead.

Juniper Networks launches METAFABRIC for next generation cloud data centers
New Delhi, India, November 4, 2013: Juniper Networks, a player in network innovation, has launched MetaFabric, a new architecture for next generation data centers. MetaFabric simplifies and accelerates the deployment and delivery of applications within and across multiple data center locations. This new architecture enables customers to run data center networks securely and more efficiently through a combination of Juniper's network innovations, professional services and strategic partnerships.
Today's network infrastructures are not agile enough to keep pace with new and emerging data center technologies, preventing customers from fully capitalizing on the business potential of the cloud, mobile and Big Data. According to Gartner, "traditional network design practices do not adequately support the modern user. To optimally serve the business, network architects must shift their thinking from technology to users and business processes."1 The Juniper Networks MetaFabric architecture changes the paradigm and can help network architects accelerate time to value.
Delivered via a comprehensive portfolio of switching, routing, orchestration, software-defined networking (SDN) and security solutions as well as technology partnerships, Juniper Networks MetaFabric helps ensure investment protection by allowing organizations to adapt to the changing needs of the data center, without the need to rip and replace existing infrastructures. Additionally, with MetaFabric, customers can optimally deploy, utilize and manage a unified pool of network resources across multiple data centers, achieving greater levels of business agility, cost efficiencies and improving the end user application experience.
Rami Rahim, Executive vice president, Platform Systems Division, Juniper Networks, said, "IT leaders have been seeking a network that can keep up with the rigorous demands of their business, leverage the cloud in a smart and evolutionary way, and provide innovative solutions to secure both the infrastructure and data. For the first time, MetaFabric will allow companies to operate multiple data centers – physical and virtual, private and cloud – as a single, flexible pool of network
resources, providing tremendous levels of flexibility and efficiency, as enterprises and service providers shift towards an application-driven world."

Few words make me angrier than a word that is constantly used toward and within the bereaved community. Closure.
Our need for closure has to cease being something we seek outside ourselves and something we reach by diving within. What we seek when we seek closure is a break in the action.

I have always said that grief and loss are like a best friend, "It knows me better than anyone, it's reliable and always there when I need it. It makes me angry. It makes me sad. Grief comforts me, loves me and protects me. I will never have another relationship quite like it."
You have to dissuade yourself from thinking that you can be best friends with you ex. Tell him to chill out and maybe someday, he can reach out to you... but not for a mighty good long time. Like when you're happy, healthy, married, remarried, living in Paris and have forgotten his name.
The point of forgiveness is letting go of the anger inside of you. It does not mean approving what was done in the past. Forgiveness is about oneself and not about the other person.
We may claim we want closure when in reality we desire an outcome that differs from the one we got. This is all too often the result of self-absorption, placing too much importance on one's pride.
For those who continue to wrestle with war injuries, post-traumatic stress syndrome and the lingering effects of an experience that they really didn't ask for, recognition is long overdue.

Closure is a process, and often a long, drawn out one. And during that process, the only things that heal are time, reflection and going through your emotions.
