Chula Vista, CA - The No. 4-ranked Florida State sand volleyball team wrapped up the USA Volleyball Beach Collegiate Challenge on Saturday by having two pairs both finish second in their respective flights at the US Olympic Training Center.
Sophomore Jace Pardon and senior Marija Milosavljevic finished runner-up in the Gold Division tournament, while senior Mallory Kiley and sophomore Sarah Wickstrom placed second in the Silver Division.
"We had a great finish to the week," Florida State head coach Danalee Corso said. "Jace and Marija were great and so were Mallory and Sarah. We had a lot of players really step it up as the week went on and that's encouraging for the team moving forward. Marija was especially impressive. The heat kind of got to her one day and she had to miss a match, but she came back strong. Today, she was the best blocker at the tournament. She is new to the game and only going to get better, too."
Milosavljevic lettered for three years as a middle blocker on the FSU indoor volleyball squad and played in a couple sand matches last season.
She and Pardon fell to Pepperdine's Lilla Frederick and Kim Hill, 21-16, 21-14 in the Gold Division Championship.
Kiley and Wickstrom lost to the Waves' duo of Kellie Woolever and Kelley Larsen, 22-20, 21-16, in the Silver final.
The Gold Division was made up of No. 1 and No. 2 teams, while the Silver Division featured No. 3, 4 and 5 pairs.
Sophomore Stephanie Pellitteri and freshman Nina Pellitteri also reached the Silver semifinals but lost to Woolever and Larsen, 21-12, 21-11.
The Seminoles return to action in a week when they face Gulf Coast State College on March 23 at 10 a.m. in Panama City, Fla.

A 1,600-Year Old City Discovered Under the Sea
Franck Goddio, the grandson of an explorer, started off his career in finance, but eventually decided to leave for his true passion: underwater archeology. In 2000, Goddio discovered a lost Egyptian city that had been buried in sand and mud in the Mediterranean Sea for over 1,200 years. As they excavate, Goddio and his team are finding everything from giant religious sculptures to jewelry and gold coins.

Details of Michael Jackson autopsy
Here are some of the findings from the Los Angeles County coroner's autopsy of Michael Jackson:
— He was 5-foot-9 and weighed 136 pounds.
— There were dark tattoos on his eyebrows and around his eyes, a pink tattoo around his lips and what appeared to be a dark tattoo on the front of his scalp.
— He was balding and suffered from a skin disease that reduced pigment and left patches of white skin.
— Osteoarthritis was visible in the lower spine and some fingers.
— He had multiple scars around his body, including behind his ears, along one shoulder, at the base of his neck and near his navel.
— His heart was strong but his lungs were inflamed. Other organs appeared normal.
— The anesthetic propofol, four other sedatives, the pain killer Lidocaine and a resuscitative drug were found in Jackson's system. His stomach had no discernible pills.
— No illegal drugs or alcohol were detected.
— The manner of death was ruled a homicide based, in part, on the propofol being administered in a non-hospital setting without any appropriate medical need.
— Consistent with CPR attempts, Jackson had a bruised chest and his sternum and several ribs were fractured.

The only thing worse than forgetting to buy a Valentine's Day present is buying the same tired gifts year after year. Seriously, boys and girls, nobody ever needs to receive a Whitman's Sampler Heart again.
Thanks to this list of unique items from some of America's most creative entrepreneurs, it's not too late to save yourself.
Our old friends at Kings County Distillery have turned your-chocolate-in-my-peanut-butter into something way more aphrodisiacal (yes, that's a real word). They mixed their moonshine with fellow Brooklyn food scientists Mast Brothers' ground up chocolate husks and came up with the loving mixture to beat all. They say, "Serve neat as a dessert, or mix with coffee or sweet flavors in cocktails." We say, "Pour a glass and see what happens." Available for order if you act now at Astorwines.com or Heightschateau.com.
The beauty of this Pajamagram.com gift is that it works for either the young, "let's forgo the dictionary and spell out s-e-x-y-y-t-i-m-e," couple or the old married, "let's spend all day in our lounging clothes with the Times puzzle and hope for the best" duo.
To be honest, we haven't spent a lot of time pricing these personal parcels of land out, but $129,000 for the 5.2-acre Big McGraw Island on a glorious Wisconsin lake seems, in a true Midwestern term, "reasonable." Pricey, for sure, but you don't have to worry about feeding your loved one, as the lake is stocked with "excellent pan fish, crappie, bass (5 pounders) and northern." All that and it's only $15,000 down! Just think of the remote nobody-will-ever-know-what-we're-doing-even-if-we-break-the-law possibilities!
There is no more romantic place on Earth than the Cupid Suite at the Wildwood Inn in Florence, Ky. Opened in 1932, it was run by a dreamy hoofer by the name of Gene Kelly. If the God of Love and his two-person heart-shaped bathtub don't do it for you, can we tempt you with the Tennessee Cave, the Pirate Ship or the Happy Days? No? You are a Valentine's Scrooge.
You know what makes grown folk swoon? Adorable little animals. Nothing more adorable than a tiny marsupial that loves sweet stuff. Sugar Gliders are barely a foot long, and they're nocturnal, so besides fitting in your glove compartment, they can watch over the household. Seriously, would you look at that little fella'? Everybody now, Awwwwwwwww..... (Not available in CA, HI, AK, PA and MA because, apparently, those states hate cuteness.)
Flowin', flowin' flowin', keep that prosecco flowin'... It doesn't matter if you're a city slicker or have a home on the range, no better way to say "I love you, pardner" than with a wine bottle boot made from charcoal bullhide vamp. The best thing about artisan Kyle Rosfeld's shop, The Sandhills Boot Company, is that it's located in Valentine, Neb. Raise a glass to the postmark, lovers!
Any common schlub can take his or her significant other for a simple ride in a hot air balloon. The truly committed take lessons, get a pilot's license, and buy their own hot air balloon to ride whenever the envelope is opened. (Balloonatic lingo!) The folks at FireFly Balloons in Statesville, N.C. aren't full of hot air -- they will get you up in the sky in no time. Start with the FireFly 6B, the smallest balloon, featuring a gorgeous 41-ft. high envelope. Soon, you'll both be on top of the world looking down on all the poor saps who don't own their own balloon.
You've got enough framed pictures. What you both need is to be on the cover of a magazine. Stop the presses! And then go to YourCover.com to design the magazine of your dreams. When selecting a cover image, just remember one thing: Celebs really aren't like us. They're always going to get coffee in their sweatpants. Look your best -- this thing is going to hang on your wall.
Real roses wilt and die. This little flower brings things to life. It doesn't need water, but it is waterproof.
There's a reason all those great comedies from days gone by feature scenes on trains. There is no more romantic way to travel than in a vintage Pullman Sleeper car, which will be your home for 10 days as you ride the rails from Los Angeles, through wine country, into the Pacific Northwest, on into Montana's spectacular Glacier National Park, and back down Cali way. Each car has its own bed, closet and head, and includes breakfast and dinner between cities. Book now, and you may never have to buy another Valentine's present again.
Cupcakes? Cakepops? Box of chocolates? (Yawn.) Tingle your sweetheart's taste buds with a delicious Pecan Kringle from O&H Danish Bakery. A Kringle is a Scandanavian pastry, and Racine, Wis., is the tasty epicenter. Once the treat is a hit -- and it will be, as it works for breakfast and dessert -- you might as well take care of future holidays by enrolling in the Kringle of the Month Club.
It's always nice to crack a bottle of fine sparkling wine on Valentine's Day (we recommend the USA-aged Schramsberg Blanc de Blanc), but the fancy crystal flutes make the toasting seem so formal. It's a holiday -- it's supposed to be fun. This year, pour the bubbly into one of the Fancy Redneck glasses, part Mason jar, part stem, all awesome. The entire set comes in three sizes: Little Lulu, Ole' Red and Big Bubba Widemouth. Get 'er drunk.
The festive folks at Boston Costume, the Hub's home for dressing up since 1965, say that this red-and-white cloth covered sandwich board will fit both men and women. We didn't ask if the unitard underneath was optional. That's for you and yours alone. Please remember, it's a rental.
If you need something that's truly one-of-a-kind, then Retro Planet has you covered. This 1940s heart-shaped Tunnel of Love car is both great for making out while watching "The Notebook," and for giving your Sweet Baboo a Valentine's Day he or she will never forget.

I don't know why but I find the beta period incredibly chill. There are no worries. If stuff is broken, I report it. If the content feels weak, I make a forum post saying so. I don't worry about the level ranges for expansion zones, I didn't even get all that worked up over the change to the faction capitals (although I personally didn't like the idea, it didn't work me up). One of the reasons I think I am this way is because, to me, the beta is supposed to be a place where boxes attack me and bears come up out of the ground like sharks to assault me. I expect madness and broken quests and bugginess in my beta experience. It's what the beta is - not just a place where testing can determine what quests are broken, but also a place to roll out content and examine how the experience works.
I don't know. Lately it feels like the forums and twitter have just blown up with ludicrous, over the top negativity for no reason, to the point where a simple tweet about when Tanaan will be released drives players crazy. Yes, stuff is going to change, break, not work right, and not be what you expected. It's the beta. That's how it goes. That's how it's always gone.

Who Was Ferdinand Magellan?
Who Was Ferdinand Magellan?
To Hopey, who's been around the world too—S.K.
For Bill—E.W.
Who Was Ferdinand Magellan?
Imagine a time when no one was sure the Earth was round … when people believed they'd topple over the edge if they sailed too far from home. Imagine a time when most people didn't know there was a Pacific Ocean. Go back five hundred years, when whole continents were still undiscovered, when people thought the Earth was tiny and that monsters swam through its waters. Yet one man decided to sail his ship through unknown seas and discover what was out there.
He was not the first to make such a perilous voyage. But he went farther and stayed away longer than anyone had before. Because of his brains and courage, he is known for being the first man to circumnavigate—sail around—the globe.
Who was he?
Ferdinand Magellan.
Chapter 1
The Boy Becomes a Man
Sometime around 1480 in Portugal, a boy named Ferdinand was born to the Magellan family. The Magellans were of noble blood, but they had little money or power. They owned a farm far from the sea. This was where Ferdinand, the youngest of three children, grew up. Their house wasn't fancy: The family lived on the top floor and their cows, goats, sheep, and chickens lived on the bottom.

Spiced Shredded Pork
Gorditas -- crisp pan-fried corn cakes -- are layered with avocado slices, shredded pork, tomato wedges, and sour cream, and then topped with a sprig of cilantro for flavorful Mexican fare.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Photography: Victoria Pearson
Source: Martha Stewart Living, April 2006
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) low-sodium chicken stock (about 4 cups)
- 2 small onions, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 fresh jalapeno chile with seeds, finely chopped
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro (2 1/2 to 3 cups), plus sprigs for garnish
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 bay leaf
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Mexican Corn Cakes
- 1 avocado (preferably Hass), halved, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced
- 2 medium ripe red tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Mexican crema
Preheat broiler. Combine pork, stock, half the onions, the jalapeno, cilantro, cumin, bay leaf, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pork registers 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes.
Transfer pork to a rimmed baking sheet. Shred into 2-inch pieces with 2 forks. Add remaining onion. Stir in butter and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Broil pork until golden brown, 4 to 7 minutes.
Top each corn cake with 3 avocado slices, heaping 1/3 cup pork, 2 tomato wedges, and 1 tablespoon sour cream. Garnish with cilantro.

This is such a great recipe especially with the corn cakes and beans. I've made it many times over the years for company and it's always a big hit. It's great for all ages and picky eaters too!
mlandcameron 29 Aug, 2013
This is fantastic, EXCEPT the pork usually dries out. I just cook a pork loin in the crock pot and then follow the recipe from there. Oh, and I also add chipotle chile to the pork. Yum!

Facebook and half naked girls...
Why would I say anything? They are over 18 and can do whatever they like. If it bothered me, I would hide or defriend.
Frankly, I would rather see a half naked picture than "Lemon Chicken for dinner tonight, soooo delish!"
Are we on Cops again?
Rage on, girl. Or just use the "hide" or "unfriend" options. You are just trying to make yourself feel superior to them by continuing to look and judge, IMO.
save it.

In addition, many potential employers routinely search social networking sites to look for information on job candidates. Nothing is going to get you crossed off the list quicker than some nice shots of you slobbering drunk with your cooch hanging out.

Rage on, girl. Or just use the "hide" or "unfriend" options. You are just trying to make yourself feel superior to them by continuing to look and judge, IMO.
^^ This is just silly. I do defriend or hide... I posted that in the OP. & I don't look & looking at a skinny little 21 yr old who's never had a kid so has no stretch marks would make me feel FAR from superior. Haha, if anything it would make me feel like a fat, striped slob! I'm just asking what OTHER ppl think. It makes me smh & wonder what in the world made them feel it was best to sexualize themselves... it makes me sad to see that so many ppl think the only way to be sexy/hot is to be half naked showing all of their "friends" the goods. No, I don't feel superior to these ppl.
I think if I had a daughter, even over 18, I would want to talk to her about having a bunch of pics of herself half naked online. I honestly think I would feel it necessary to have an adult convo w her about why she thinks showing her body is the only way to be "hot." I think I'll feel the same way if my son decides to show his abs on FB all the time even if he's an adult. I can't say for sure, though, b/c 8 don't have a daughter & my son is only 8.5 months. Haha
It doesn't really bother me, but it's not something I particularly understand the thought processes behind, either. I don't care that they like to dress sexy but are you that starved for attention that you must post 300 dirty mirror pictures with kissy faces in your sexy clothes?

I think talking to young people about confidence and privacy is a good idea. It is also true that the kinds of things that were thought of as risque when I was younger are now common activities. The main thing I notice is the short shorts with a .5 inch inseam. Whatever, things change.
I would not care if my DD had beach pics on her FB.
save it.

Device Engineering for Enhanced Efficiency from Platinum(II) Phosphorescent OLEDs
Date: August 2010
Creator: Li, Minghang
Description: Phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) based on efficient electrophosphorescent dopant, platinum(II)-pyridyltriazolate complex, bis[3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazolato]platinum(II) (Pt(ptp)2) have been studied and improved with respect to power efficiency, external efficiency, chromacity and efficiency roll-off. By studying the electrical and optical behavior of the doped devices and functionality of the various constituent layers, devices with a maximum EQE of 20.8±0.2 % and power efficiency of 45.1±0.9 lm/W (77lm/W with luminaries) have been engineered. This improvement compares to devices whose emission initially could only be detected by a photomultiplier tube in a darkened environment. These devices consisted of a 65 % bis[3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazolato]platinum(II) (Pt(ptp)2) doped into 4,4'-bis(carbazol-9-yl)triphenylamine (CBP) an EML layer, a hole transporting layer/electron blocker of 1,1-bis[(di-4-tolylamino)phenyl]cyclohexane (TAPC), an electron transport layer of 1,3,5-tris(phenyl-2-benzimidazolyl)-benzene (TPBI), and a LiF/Al cathode. These devices show the acceptable range for warm white light quadrants and qualify to be called "warm white" even w/o adding another emissive layer. Dual EML devices composed of neat Pt(ptp)2 films emitting orange and CBP: Pt(ptp)2 film emitting blue-green produced a color rendering index (CRI) of 59 and color coordinates (CIE) of (0.47,0.49) at 1000Cd/m² with power efficiency of 12.6±0.2 lm/W and EQE of 10.8±0.2 %. Devices with two blue fluorescent emission layers as singlet ...

Effect of Retting on Surface Chemistry and Mechanical Performance Interactions in Natural Fibers for High Performance Polymer Composites
Date: May 2013
Creator: Ramesh, Dinesh
Description: Sustainability through replacement of non-renewable fibers with renewable fibers is an ecological need. Impact of transportation costs from South-east Asia on the life cycle analysis of the composite is detrimental. Kenaf is an easily grown crop in America. Farm based processing involves placing the harvested crop in rivers and ponds, where retting of the fibers from the plant (separation into fibers) can take 2 weeks or more. The objective of this thesis is to analyze industrially viable processes for generating fibers and examine their synergistic impact on mechanical performance, surface topography and chemistry for functional composites. Comparison has been made with commercial and conventional retting process, including alkali retting, enzymatic retting, retting in river and pond water (retting occurs by natural microbial population) with controlled microbial retting. The resulting kenaf fibers were characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), Raman spectroscopy (FT-Raman), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), polarized optical microscopy (POM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) optical fluorescence microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and carbohydrate analysis. DMA results showed that pectinase and microbe treated fibers have superior viscoelastic properties compared to alkali retting. XPS, Raman, FT-IR and biochemical analysis indicated that the controlled microbial and pectinase retting was ...

Interspecimen Study of Bone to Relate Macromechanical, Nanomechanical and Compositional Changes Across the Femoral Cortex of Bone
Date: May 2013
Creator: Nar, Mangesh
Description: Mechanics of bone is widely studied and researched, mainly for the study of fracture. This has been done mostly on a macro scale. In this work hierarchical nature of bone has been explored to investigate bone mechanics in more detail. Flexural test were done to classify the bones according to their strength and deflection. Raman spectroscopy analysis was done to map the mineralization, collagen crosslinking changes across the thickness of the bone. Nanoindentation was done to map indentation hardness and indentation modulus across femoral cortex of the bone. The results indicate that the composition of the bone changes across the thickness of the femoral cortex. The hypothesis is confirmed as increase in mineralization, carbonate to phosphate ratio and collagen crosslinking shows the effect as increased indentation hardness and modulus and decreased deflection.

Structural, Thermal and Acoustic Performance of Polyurethane Foams for Green Buildings
Date: December 2014
Creator: Nar, Mangesh
Description: Decreasing the carbon footprint through use of renewable materials has environmental and societal impact. Foams are a valuable constituent in buildings by themselves or as a core in sandwich composites. Kenaf is a Southeast USA plant that provides renewable filler. The core of the kenaf is porous with a cell size in a 5-10 micrometer range. The use of kenaf core in foams represents a novel multiscalar cellular structural composite. Rigid polyurethane foams were made using free foaming expansion with kenaf core as filler with loadings of 5, 10 and 15 %. Free foaming was found to negatively affect the mechanical properties. An innovative process was developed to introduce a constraint to expansion during foaming. Two expansion ratios were examined: 40 and 60 % (decreasing expansion ratio). MicroCT and SEM analysis showed a varying structure of open and closed cell pores. The mechanical, thermal insulation, acoustic properties were measured. Pure PU foam showed improved cell size uniformity. Introducing kenaf core resulted in decreasing the PU performance in the free expansion case. This was reversed by introducing constraints. To understand the combined impact of having a mixed close cell and open cell architecture, finite element modeling was done using ANSYS. Models ...

Thermoplastic and Thermoset Natural Fiber Composite and Sandwich Performance
Date: May 2014
Creator: Yang, Bing
Description: The objective of this thesis is to investigate the effects of adding natural fiber (kenaf fiber, retted kenaf fiber, and sugarcane fiber) into polymer materials. The effects are obtained by considering three main parts. 1. Performance in thermoplastic composites. The effect of fiber retting on polymer composite crystallization and mechanical performance was investigated. PHBV/PBAT in 80/20 blend ratio was modified using 5% by weight kenaf fiber. Dynamic mechanical analysis of the composites was done to investigate the glass transition and the modulus at sub-ambient and ambient temperatures. ESEM was conducted to analyze fiber topography which revealed smoother surfaces on the pectinase retted fibers. 2. Performance in thermoset composites. The effect of the incorporation of natural fibers of kenaf and of sugarcane combined with the polyester resin matrix is investigated. A comparison of mechanical properties of kenaf polyester composite, sugarcane polyester composite and pure polyester in tensile, bending, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMA) and moisture test on performance is measured.. 3. Performance in sandwich composites. The comparison of the performance characteristics and mechanical properties of natural fiber composites panels with soft and rigid foam cores are evaluated. A thorough test of the mechanical behavior of composites sandwich materials in tensile, bending ...

Tribological Behavior of Spark Plasma Sintered Tic/graphite/nickel Composites and Cobalt Alloys
Date: December 2013
Creator: Kinkenon, Douglas
Description: Monolithic composites are needed that combine low friction and wear, high mechanical hardness, and high fracture toughness. Thin films and coatings are often unable to meet this engineering challenge as they can delaminate and fracture during operation ceasing to provide beneficial properties during service life. Two material systems were synthesized by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and were studied for their ability to meet these criteria. A dual hybrid composite was fabricated and consisted of a nickel matrix for fracture toughness, TiC for hardness and graphite for solid/self‐lubrication. An in‐situ reaction during processing resulted in the formation of TiC from elemental Ti and C powders. The composition was varied to determine its effects on tribological behavior. Stellite 21, a cobalt‐chrome‐molybdenum alloy, was also produced by SPS. Stellite 21 has low stacking fault energy and a hexagonal phase which forms during sliding that both contribute to low interfacial shear and friction. Samples were investigated by x‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x‐ray spectroscopy (EDS), and electron back‐scattered diffraction (EBSD). Tribological properties were characterized by pin on disc tribometry and wear rates were determined by profilometry and abrasion testing. Solid/self‐lubrication in the TiC/C/Ni system was investigated by Raman and Auger ...

- What is i-escape?
Uncovering some of the world's best kept travel secrets...
i-escape is an unbiased, highly researched accommodation guide and free booking service.
Based in the UK, our small team of passionate travellers, writers and developers, constantly scours the world for exciting and unusual places to stay. From boutique hotels to beach cabanas, stylish B&Bs to safari lodges, city apartments to family villas, we cover a wide range of styles and budgets; but all are small, independent and very special. We visit every one and only select our favourites, describing them with honesty, insight and handy tips. You can book them through our site at the same price as going direct (or less); and you'll often get a little extra thankyou, too.
Highly Selective:
Researching the best accommodation takes time, so we've done it for you. Every month we pore over thousands of web pages, sift through hundreds of applications, and choose a handful – the best of the best – to visit. We stay the night, sample the food, chat to guests, test the showers and hammocks and pillows. If it's as delightful as we'd hoped, we add it to our portfolio. If not, we don't. Simple as that. And unlike some websites, we don't charge hotels a joining fee, so we can make a truly free and fair choice.
You want to know what it's really going to be like, not just the hotel's marketing blurb. So we'll tell you. If we found the Courtyard rooms too dark, we'll say – so that you can book the lighter rooms (and thank us when you arrive). If we found a fab bar or beach nearby, we'll point you to it (and show you photos). You won't find the same level of detail in any other accommodation website.
Value for money:
Rooms range from under £50/night to over £500, but whichever you choose, we promise that you'll get the best price when you book through us. You don't need to shop around or contact the property directly – though you're welcome to try. We don't charge a booking fee or credit card fee. We show you clearly what's included, and don't try and hide local taxes. And compared to booking a bespoke itinerary through a tour operator, you can make huge savings.
Find the perfect place by destination, interest, month of travel or a combination of criteria. These include family-friendly, adults only, pets welcome, wheelchair accessible – and you can add in holiday must-haves such as organic food, heated pool, fast WiFi, a good beach or hikes nearby. If you're still stuck, contact us with a rough idea of what you're looking for, and we'll tell you our favourite options. Go on, put us to the test!
Why book with i-escape
We've seen every property
and only chosen our favourites
We tell it like it is

|Dollcasters: Is Network TV just a Few Segments Away from a Team of Vinyl Broadcasters?
The other week, I was watching "The O'Reilly Factor," and Bill O'Reilly was in rare form. I can always tell when the cable pundit is going to be on fire because he begins his program with an extra-large, extra-broad finger point and proclamation of "Caution! You're about to enter the No Spin Zone." On this particular night's episode, he was practically levitating out of his chair as he greeted viewers and warned them to buckle their armchair seatbelts.

I love Megyn Kelly and all the people at Fox. They tell the truth, which is hard to find in news these days. I would buy a Megyn Kelly doll for my children. She's smart, educated, attractive, and fearless. She's in the news all this week because of the DOJ scandal, and she's the one who broke it. Great for you, Megyn. We need more newscasters and women like you. Mattel, make a real anchor woman doll!
Ronnie, I think GI Joe is on the FOX Network, too, and he's called Ollie North. Sean Hannity is Captain America, and Glenn Beck is the Joker. Pretty women are used to sell everything in America (cars, fast food, banks). People like to look at attractive faces. It makes sense. When a woman is beautiful and bright, she has a career anywhere she wants to go. Barbie Broadcasting is already here. I'm waiting for Barbie White Housing.
mmmm, and whether or not the anchor doll would be having her strings pulled could depend largely on what news station she worked for?? BTW I glanced through each of the Barbie dolls lined up in the little black dress to see if anyone had slipped in one of the anchor girls of today. Really, I did.
can't wait for these anchorettes to arrive.....i guess that greta van sustren will be the equivalent of "midge" barbie's pity friend!
All the networks have pretty anchor women. The girls are always eye candy, and the men are usually older and "distinguished" looking. It's the whole older man/younger woman vibe being played out on the news. The anchors are all Barbie clones. Where are the rugged GI Joe newsmen? I'd watch that!

MIT Sloan Application Essays and Deadlines for 2015-2016
MIT Sloan recently released its admissions essay and deadlines for the Class of 2018. While hardly any top business schools have cut essays this year (after several years of doing so), Sloan actually did cut an essay, going down to just one required essay this year. But, here's a twist: The Sloan admissions team has added a second essay just for those who are invited to interview. So, you're still going to need to write two strong essays to get into Sloan, and we break down the essay prompts below.

"This book's broad overview can help an organization choose a set of processes, policies, and techniques that are appropriate for its security maturity, risk tolerance, and development style. This book will help you understand how to incorporate practical security techniques into all phases of the development lifecycle.
—Steve Riley, senior security strategist, Microsoft Corporation
"There are books written on some of the topics addressed in this book, and there are other books on secure systems engineering. Few address the entire life cycle with a comprehensive overview and discussion of emerging trends and topics as well as this one.
—Ronda Henning, senior scientist-software/security queen, Harris Corporation
Software that is developed from the beginning with security in mind will resist, tolerate, and recover from attacks more effectively than would otherwise be possible. While there may be no silver bullet for security, there are practices that project managers will find beneficial. With this management guide, you can select from a number of sound practices likely to increase the security and dependability of your software, both during its development and subsequently in its operation.
Software Security Engineeringdraws extensively on the systematic approach developed for theBuild Security In (BSI)Web site. Sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security Software Assurance Program, the BSI site offers a host of tools, guidelines, rules, principles, and other resources to help project managers address security issues in every phase of the software development life cycle (SDLC). The book's expert authors, themselves frequent contributors to the BSI site, represent two well-known resources in the security world: the CERT Program at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) and Cigital, Inc., a consulting firm specializing in software security.

text: With the exception of (Supervisors Jack) Duran and (Jennifer) Montgomery, why is it that current and ex-supervisors don't get it that public money is just that: public — not to be used for "private" feel-good causes. It doesn't matter if it's a "favorite" foundation, a blind trust, or any other type of private organization. Our public tax dollars should go to public uses only and not be siphoned off for private uses. The minute that money is privatized, the opportunity for corruption and misspending, increases exponentially. No one audits the spending of our tax dollars once the private organization mixes it in with their other funds. Any argument that tries to support revenue sharing because the tax-dollar gift is "so small" is flawed. If it's such a small amount, then dig into personal wallets and keep mits off taxpayer dollars for private gifts. Some private organizations that received Placer County money have assets or budgets of over $1 million. That's even more reason to not give our tax dollars, no matter what the amount, to those who don't need it—unless that makes it easier to ask for political campaign donations. Placer County needs to end revenue sharing permanently. Matt Marin, Newcastle Editor's Note: Revenue sharing funds go to nonprofit or community based organizations.

What is the Value of Tin Collectibles?
Tin is not expensive, as far as metals pricing is concerned. However, collectibles made from tin, such as toys, can gain considerable value. Collectors of tin toys love them f…or their nostalgic and historical value. The maker, condition, and age are the most important factors that determine the value of these treasures.The older generation remember growing up playing with tin toys. They were a treasured Christmas or birthday present that would bring hours of pleasure. They are no longer made because they would not meet modern safety standards and protocols. In their day, the toy manufacturers did not have to worry about a lawsuit if a child got hurt playing with one of their toys. Now they must be very careful about the products that they put out. Tin toys contain sharp edges, small detachable parts, and lead based paint. For this reason, it is not recommended that children be allowed to play with them.Toys that are more common include vintage cars, trucks, farm tractors, and military vehicles. However, there are also animals such as circus elephants, giraffes, cats, dogs, bears, lizards, and the likeness of almost any creature imaginable. Sand buckets and scoops are also common. These toys bring back many fond memories for those that remember playing with them. They were most popular from 1930 to 1960. The older the toy, the more valuable it will be. However, the more common ones will not be worth as much, even if they are older.The most collectible items are those that feature popular characters or television shows of the time. For instance, those that feature Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Buck Rodgers, Amos and Andy, and Little Orphan Annie will fetch a high price. The siren Police Patrol car with a working siren is another highly desirable model. Flash Gordon Rocket ships are often difficult to find, so if you do happen to come across one, you might consider picking it up. These branded toys are more difficult to find than the more common cars and trucks. They tend to find their way into the hands of collectors and are quickly taken off the market. This makes the value of branded tin toys considerably higher than those that are not attached to a popular brand.Popularity is a key driver of tin sand pail values. Of course, the condition of the paint job is a key factor in the value. Unfortunately, those that were most loved by a child are often in the worst condition. Sand and stone scratches the paint, and finding one in good condition can be difficult. As with other tin toys, those that were based on a popular story or iconic figure of the time are worth more than other designs. For instance, Disney Three Little Pigs, Popeye at the Beach, and Children on a Swing will fetch approximately $150 at auction. The Rosie O'Neil Kewpies pail will bring as much as $400. The more common designs will still bring around $50.They can quickly lose their value if not cared for properly. It is suggested that they be cleaned only with dry methods. Soaking them in soap and water will remove the paint. Harsh chemicals or abrasives should never be used. The best way to clean them is to use a can of air or a dry paintbrush to remove dirt and particles. If the toy has any oil or wax on it, a little bit of WD-40 can be used to remove it. The toy should be dried thoroughly to prevent it from rusting. Children should never be allowed to play with these toys for their own safety and to help preserve the wind-up mechanisms.Collecting toys is a fun way to preserve fond childhood memories. Even the more common tin toys retain considerable value. However, those that are rare, old, or depicts popular iconic images of the time are the most valuable. Condition is one of the most important elements of value and care should be taken in preservation. Children should not play with them, both for their own safety and to preserve the value. Collecting old tin toys is one of the most popular hobbies for those that are old enough to remember them when they first came out, but they are also gaining popularity among younger generations too.The biggest auction ever held for tin toys was held in 2008. This year, Bertoia Auctions sold the largest collection to date. They sold a lot of 2,462 toys for $1.8 million. The highest priced piece in the auction was the Erzebirge Style Noah's ark. According to the auction site, this piece alone sold for $36,800. (MORE)

Tin Can Crafts
Recycling is great, but repurposing is even better. Finding uses for objects that would normally be tossed away is great for the environment. So teach your children the import…ance of repurposing discarded items with these tin can crafts. For each of these crafts, make sure the tin can is cleaned and dried well, so that there is no remaining food or odor left behind.Any size tin can is able to be turned into a lantern. First, wrap a piece of paper around the can, and secure it with a small piece of tape. Use a marker to draw the design you would like to have on your lantern. It can be words, pictures, or an abstract design. Next, use a hammer to drive a nail into the can along one of your lines. Pull the nail back out and you will have made a hole in your tin can. Each hole should be a minimum of 1/2 inch apart. This will ensure that no piece of the can breaks off. You can use different nail sizes to get a unique effect. Once you are happy with the number of holes, take off the paper. Place a candle inside your lantern, and the light will shine through the holes.If your child loves picking wildflowers, have them create vases to showcase their bouquets. Make sure the top of the can is completely removed, without any sharp edges left behind. Then, you can decorate the can however you would like. You can use paint to decorate the outside of the can. You can also use hot glue to adhere fabric around the can. Let your child choose whatever design they like best.For the little green thumb, turn tin cans into planters. Use a hammer and nail or small drill bit to create a few holes around the bottom edge of the can. This will let the plant drain any excess water. Then you can fill your can with planting soil and add your seeds or small plants. If you want to grow herbs for your kitchen, plant multiple types of seeds in tin cans, labeling each can with the type of herb that is growing inside.Organize your child's desk by creating pencil holders from tin cans. Just like with a vase, you can decorate the outside of your pencil holders with paint or fabric. Another unique idea is to purchase cork paper from your local craft store. Cut it to fit around the can and use hot glue to attach it to the can.This tin can craft works well as a summer craft. Have your child paint the outside of the tin can. Acrylic paints are suggested since the windsock will be hung outsides and exposed to weather. Once the paint has dried, use a hammer and nail or large drill bit to create two holes: one on each side of can's top edge. Tie string through each hole to create a hook so you can hang your windsock once it is finished. For the streamers, use two-inch ribbon. Pick out two different patterns or colors. Cut three streamers of each color, each about three feet long. Then, use hot glue to glue each streamer to the inside of the can. Alternate each color and you will have a fun and festive windsock to hang in your garden.These tin can crafts are a great way to reuse items that would otherwise be tossed out. For children that love to do crafts, it also provides a way to get free supplies. So rather than throwing out your next coffee can or can of vegetables, set it aside. You will soon have many different sizes of tin cans that can be given new life through a simple and fun craft.Always supervise young children when doing tin can crafts. Any cut edges will become very sharp and can easily cut through skin. (MORE)

Counting: Activities and Number Crafts for Preschoolers
Your preschool-aged child is at a point in his or her young life when learning is incredibly fun and entertaining. Even though attention spans are very short, their ability to… learn new concepts is quick. You can foster further learning and early math skills by creating experiences surrounding counting and number recognition. Take a look at these counting activities and number crafts for preschoolers and get started with a fun and rewarding time with your child.Your child will appreciate creating a number necklace because it is colorful and helps remind them of their numbers. All you will need are large plastic or wooden beads, string, drinking straws, a pipe cleaner, craft foam, scissors, and a counting container (an egg carton or muffin tins work well). With your child, count and sort the proper number of colored beads into different compartments of the container. For example, you will need one red bead, two green beads, three yellow, and so on. Cut a length of string long enough to be a necklace and tie a knot in one end. Then, cut one-inch segments from the straw and thread about five of them to the knot of the necklace. Then, have your child string the beads in ascending order. Thread five more straw segments and tie the necklace closed. Cut number forms out of the foam. Then, using the pipe cleaner, cut into segments, make a hole in the top of each number, and attach it to the necklace at the appropriate places. For example, attach your number one just before the one red bead, the number two at the beginning of the two green beads, and so on.This is a very simple but effective activity for the child who loves toy cars. All you need is a piece of paper, a marker, and some toy cars. On the paper, use the outside thirds to make a parking lot by drawing straight lines perpendicular to the edge. Write numbers within each parking space using your marker. Your child can then use their toy cars to park in each spot. Be sure to identify the number each time they park a car. For example say, "Now that red car is parking in number eight." In this way, your child will be able to recognize their numbers while playing and having a fun time.This activity will help your child integrate their sense of touch with writing their numbers. What you will need is: a shoe box, some colored craft sand and flashcards with numbers written on them. Pour a small amount of the craft sand into the bottom of the shoe box and level it out by shaking the box. Next, show your child a flash card with a number on it. Then, have your child use their finger to draw the number from the card into the sand in the box. Some children have a hard time committing their numbers to paper for fear of "doing it wrong" but with the sand in the box, mistakes can be shaken away and your child can start again. Try using a different color of sand each time to keep the activity fresh and relevant for your child.This is a simple craft your child can make and display to show they are learning their numbers. You will need a piece of paper, a marker, and a glitter glue pen. With the marker, write the number your child is learning on the paper. Have your child use his or her finger to trace the number while you talk about and count to the number. Then, have your child use the glitter pen to trace and decorate the number. This glittery number can be displayed in your child's room as a reminder of what they are learning.Children love counting and they love caterpillars so this craft is sure to capture your child's imagination. You will need a black piece of construction paper, scraps of other colored construction paper, a marker, a glue stick, scissors, googly eyes, chalk, and any other crafting implements your child loves such as feathers, pom poms, and more. First, on the black piece of construction paper, use the chalk to create a nighttime scene in which to put your caterpillar. Leave the entire middle length of the paper open for your counting caterpillar. Next, using the scissors, cut out circles, or segments, for your caterpillar. With the marker, write your child's numbers. Have your child find the one and glue it at the beginning of the caterpillar. Next, have them glue on the two connecting to the one, and on and on until all your child's number circles are glued to the paper. Next, use the chalk to make legs for the bug and glue the googly eyes to the first number segment. Then, have your child decorate the scene using any of the crafting implements you have on hand.These are just a few of the many ways you can interact and create with your child all while teaching and reinforcing counting and numbers. Remember to keep crafting sessions short to accommodate your child's attention span and activity level. You can help facilitate fun, creative play by making sure you have on hand the basic crafting supplies such as glue, craft paper, and foam. This way, you will always be able to have number crafts for your preschooler.During creative play with your child, try to find ways to use the senses to stimulate your child's learning abilities. Children respond much better by doing rather than being told, so make sure your child is getting actively involved in the play instead of getting a lesson or lecture. (MORE)
