Two Times Two
Two excellent opinion columns about evolution education appeared on January 19, 2005, on opposite sides of the country.
"Wedging creationism into the academy"
"Wedging creationism into the academy," by Barbara Forrest and Glenn Branch, appears in the January-February 2005 issue of Academe, the bimonthly magazine of the American Association of University Professors. In their article, Forrest and Branch discuss the attempts of the "intelligent design" movement to use academia as a base.
Victory in Cobb County
"[T]he Sticker adopted by the Cobb County Board of Education violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment," declared U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper, in a forty-four-page ruling issued on January 13, 2005. Cooper's ruling requires the Cobb County School District to remove the disclaimers immediately and not to disseminate them again in any form. NCSE Executive Director Eugenie C. Scott commented, "This is another win for good science and good science education.
Equal time for creationism bill introduced
A bill calling for "balanced treatment to the theory of scientific creationism and the theory of evolution" was introduced in the Mississippi Senate and referred to the Committee on Education on January 10, 2005.
Duelling legislation in the Treasure State
Following last year's debate over evolution education in the small Montana town of Darby, two bills have been proposed in the Montana legislature which take diametrically opposed stands on the place of evolution in the science classrooms of the state's public schools.

Comments On Jul 16, 2012:It's round - surprise! I bought the 80/100x21 Bridgestone M23 Hard Terrain Front Tire. This is one of my favorite off-road tires, and it allows you to air down a little more than your average medium/intermediate or soft terrain tires without fear of bottoming out your front rim; yet maintaining the traction level width of your tire. I actually had a flat one time using this front tire, and didn't realize it until it was on a surface harder than loose soft/hard packed dirt. That should give an idea of how firm this tire is when they have low hours on them! I consider this tire a rim saver if you get a flat and have to limp it back a couple of miles!

Gets high marks for traction in the sand and hard rock near the mountians, have yet to use it in the mud. Easy to mount on the rim and is a non directional tire, meaning you can turn around if needed to get more wear out of.

After spending a decade at the helm of the MA Program in the History of Decorative Arts and Design (now History of Design and Curatorial Studies), housed at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, Lawrence is looking forward to bringing this hybrid approach, which mirrors her own academic journey, downtown. "I was trained as an art historian, focusing on Italian Renaissance art history and decorative arts," Lawrence says. "It was exciting for me to move out of working strictly in the humanities and bring a rich engagement with history to art and design education."
ADHT is already an integral part of the Parsons educational experience, as it is home to the liberal studies courses required of all undergraduates. In the coming years, Lawrence hopes to expand this role, making ADHT's scholarship and curriculum a resource for the entire university. "The New School has such a wealth of teaching and scholarship in the humanities and social sciences," she says. "The more we draw on and contribute to this activity, the more opportunities we will find for fruitful exchange among both the faculty and the students."

We read in Psalm 119:8, "I will observe your statutes." I like the Psalmist's clear communication of what he "will" do. It is forceful and committed. "I will observe God's statutes." Notice he does not write, "I will try to observe God's statutes." "Try" is one of those words that we should tune our ear to so that when we use it, we question our commitment.

Happy Easter 2012!
Easter and Passover everyone!
I will begin by saying that my longer-than-usual silence has everything to do with the San Francisco Fashion Film Festival going on, which has pulled me away from P&C. But after this weekend things will be back to normal!
Here's a special postcard I wanted to share because I don't have a specific Easter one this year, but I did have this one of Easter Lilies growing in Bermuda. It's dated from 1914 and it was sent to Mr & Mrs L. Irving of Beechhurst, Long Island, NY, no zip code or street address given. The message reads:
"Hamilton, Bermuda. We are spending are [sic] honeymoon here. Had a rough voyage. Wife was sick but I never missed a meal. Stopping at Hotel Kenwood. Mr & Mrs JM Sheffers"
In the early part of the 20th Century, Bermuda was THE vacation spot for wealthy Americans in the North East, as well as Canadians and British. It's climate was tropical, but it was close enough to the mainland (Cape Hatteras, NC is only about 650 miles away) that travel was somewhat easy.
(At this time, the territory thrived on its trade in fresh lilies and agriculture to the United States. However, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 - enacted by the US against trading partners - cut off this industry and forced Bermuda to move into finance and tourism as its main industries. It is interesting to note that while this tariff act was meant to promote American growth and industry and originally seemed to work, it is cited as one of the main pieces of legislation that led to the Great Depression.)
It was also in 1930 that the first airplane arrived in Bermuda - a Stinson Detroiter seaplane from New York. Soon after, airlines such as Luft Hansa, Imperial Airways, and Pan American would follow. During this golden age of tourism and glamorous travel, Bermuda figured prominently among the early jet-setters and was celebrated as luxurious destination.

|Minor Character: Las Vegas
| Sqweegel
Ian Moone (alias)
(real identity unknown)
|Las Vegas
| Serial Killer
|Modus Operandi
|No. of Victims
|Portrayed By
|Daniel Browning Smith
|First Appearance
Sqweegel (real name unknown), a.k.a. "Ian Moone", is a serial killer and vigilante who appeared in season eleven of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
Currently, nothing at all has been revealed about Sqweegel's past, not even his real name or what he looks like, but he has excellent acrobatic and contortionist skills, has most likely been a serial killer for some time (due to his high organization and meticulous planning), purchased a latex full-body suit from a sex shop, and it is seen on a photo of him that he has heterochromia iridum, meaning his eyes are different colors; one is blue, the other brown.
While it is unclear how long Sqweegel has been in Las Vegas, his first public act was attacking Margot Wilton, a philanthropist famous for her charity work with disabled children. Sqweegel let her live, and the LVPD began to investigate his activities. Inside her house, the CSI's find almost no forensic evidence that can help them, except for some of his sweat, which went through the zipper of his suit, and a silicone-based spray used to get into fetish-related latex suits. The name of the buyer was listed as "Ian Moone", an anagram for "I am no one".
He later attacks Carrie Jones, who had been appointed to the city's family values committee while having an affair. In the end of the episode, Sqweegel eludes the authorities completely, exposing the fact that Margot Wilton had killed her son several years earlier on his request as an act of mercy so he wouldn't die in pain and made it look like an accident, and killing a local paramedic who became a hero after rescuing people from a fire which he had set himself. In the last scene, he puts on his suit in front of a mirror and says, "I am no one".
Modus Operandi
"I know. Confess."
Sqweegel targets local heroes who harbor dark secrets, more often than not the dark secret being the reason they are local heroes or hypocritical to their hero status. He ambushes them in various ways, either by burglarizing their houses or somehow lying in wait, and holds them at knifepoint with a straight razor. He threatens them into confessing what they have done and, if they don't, kills them. He often interacts with his environment somehow, such as turning over award plaques, cutting out faces from photos, or some other symbolic act. Sqweegel often attacks the same victim more than once, likely because he sees that they haven't changed their ways. The first attack will often go unreported, due to the victim wishing to hide their secret.
He will also spend an unknown amount of time stalking his target without them realizing it. These actions include living in the target's attic, spying on them with an eye hole camera, and even sleeping under the target's bed while they slept. His latex suit allows him to come and go without leaving any DNA or trace evidence. As the only DNA left from his sweat, is compromised by the compound he used to get into the suit.
Known Victims
- 2010:
- October 13: Margot Wilton (killed her son; attacked twice; survived both attacks)
- October 14:
- Carrie Jones (had an affair; attacked twice; injured the first time on September 30; killed the second)
- Ryan Fink (the paramedic; set multiple fires; attacked twice; injured the first time; killed the second)
- The Sqweegel depicted in CSI could be a direct reference to the "Black Sqweegel" seen at the end of Level 26: Dark Prophecy. "Black Sqweegel" is the successor to the original Sqweegel (White Sqweegel) who was introduced in Level 26: Dark Origins.
- He is nicknamed as "Sqweegel" by the daughter of Carrie Jones, who was listening to noises coming from the carwash where he attacked them ("sqweegle sqweegle").

SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) - Four years after Maryland endorsed a plan to add a traffic signal at a busy intersection on Silver Spring's border with the District of Columbia, the plan is still on the drawing boards.
The Washington Post (http://wapo.st/117qcXk ) reports that solutions for the traffic circle at the intersection of busy commuter routes of 16th Street and Colesville Road are mired in a cross-jurisdictional mess.
Installing a signal requires coordination of the district, Montgomery County and the state of Maryland. Each jurisdiction controls part of the roadways or signals nearby.
But residents say they see traffic accidents on almost a daily basis. D.C. police say they recorded 12 traffic crashes at the circle in 2012. Maryland officials would not provide accident data. A pedestrian was killed at the circle in 2009.

The map should have an archipelago. All maps should have archipelagos...
Ok, since I have some time but no special ideas ( I means too many ideas to be able to pick one and seriously work on it, I would set kind of personnal challenging but with your cololaboration. I let you guys ask some things you want on this map ( kind of border, map with no mountains - please don't do that , 2 continents, map on book , special icon, special theme or color, red sea or forests inside moutains or such other things that comes to your mind andt might fit on prefereably on a fantasy map) With all the elements I'll keep (I may let some by side cause I know you guys will surely ask some odd and scary things ) I'll will set myself to work trying to achieve that great collaborative and challenging map

Spring break trip field trip encouraged thoughts of college, attending HBCUs
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
Over 40 Minneapolis Public Schools' (MPS) Black high school students, instead of spending spring break on a sunny beach, traveled down south by bus on a "Civil Rights Research Tour." The five-day tour (March 31-April 5) took the students to Montgomery, Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia and stopped at several historic sites, including the 16th Street Baptist Church, where four young Black girls died in 1964. For some students, the trip also included stops at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Four of the participants spoke to the MSR last week about their experience. "It helped me learn more about my history," said Edison junior Nailah Heard. "I never heard of the 16th Street Church at all," added Edison's classmate Jasmine Valentine. Continue Reading →

"Today, we are going to tackle the third of the three major points: timing and luck.
This is one of the most important elements for success, but is hardest to identify and control. There are a few pieces to the timing puzzle: (1) market timing; (2) economic conditions; (3) execution speed; and (4) knowing how long to ride the wave.
Market timing is basically being in the right place at the right time. I will use MediaRecall, my past company, as an example. MediaRecall had built the fastest, cheapest solution to digitize large archives of film and video content, for publishing on the web. The business was launched in 2006, well before online video started to take off, so the big film archives had not yet began to think about digitizing their archives. So, the company struggled to build a sales pipeline until 2009, post the rapid success of sites like YouTube and Hulu and all film archives scrambling to find a way to get their archives monetizing online. Had MediaRecall launched in 2008, it would have saved two years of burn rate. But, you are never that smart to time the market. So, just make sure there is solid customer interest for your product, before investing too heavily in your business (e.g., the lean startup principle). But, launch early enough to be the first to market, and beat any potential competitors to the market.
Economic conditions are entirely out of your control. I will use my other past company, the adventure travel website iExplore, for this example. iExplore launched its site in February 2000 in the peak of the dot com boom. And, then the dot com bubble burst in March 2000, a month later, making it immediately an uphill slog right out of the gate. Had we launched three years earlier, riding the momentum of the dot com boom wave would have made it much easier to grow the business. Or even worse, nobody could have predicted 9/11/01 and the negative impact that event would have on both the economy overall, and especially the travel industry. It almost took iExplore out of business entirely. All you can do here is to keep your business nimble, so it can easily scale up or down, based on external market conditions. And, when times are good, run as fast as possible to build your coffers for the downtimes.
Execution speed simply means build your business at light speed, be a first mover (if you can) and continually exceed the efforts of your competitors. And, better yet, using Google or Amazon as an example, continue to widen your lead over your competitors to make the gap insurmountable. Never get "comfortable" with your success. Continually have a sense of "controlled paranoia", pushing your research and development efforts and sales and marketing tactics to new heights in each year. The turtle never wins this race, if the rabbit keeps clearly focused on continued and accelerating growth with their competitors further and further back in their rear-view mirrors.
And, on the sell side of your venture, it is important you know how long to ride the wave. Don't make the mistake of the riding the story too long. Somethings may change to hurt the business (e.g., market conditions, competition) that will result in a much lower sale price, had you sold at an earlier time. And, equally important, the prospective buyer of your business will want to see upside on their investment. They will not want to buy a story that they perceive has reached its full potential.
And, overriding all of this? Luck! So, carry your four leaf clovers and rabbit feet in your pocket at all times!"

The Liberty City Fire Department (LCFD, also acronymed as Fire Department of Liberty City "FDLC") is a fire department appearing in the Liberty City-based games, including:
- Grand Theft Auto 1
- Grand Theft Auto III
- Grand Theft Auto Advance
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
- Grand Theft Auto IV
- Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Whilst unnamed in Grand Theft Auto 1, the game's rendition of Liberty City spawns a Fire Truck model that is also shared with those appearing in Vice City. Obviously, its dual use in two different cities means the Fire Truck lacks any proper label designating the vehicle as belonging to any specific Fire Department (i.e. the "FDLC" initials), unlike the San Andreas Fire Truck, featuring only a "FIRE" label on the roof.
As are other Emergency Services in the game, Liberty City's Fire Trucks only arrives at the scene of emergencies; specifically, where multiple vehicles are destroyed in explosions and are burning as a result.
GTA III — GTA Liberty City Stories
Like other emergency services in Liberty City, LCFD crews will arrive in a scene where fire from a player's Molotov cocktail or flamethrower, or burning wrecks are raging, attempting to put the flames out using their Fire Truck's powerful decked-mounted water cannon. Players can easily commandeer the LCFD's fire trucks to perform "Firefighter" side missions.
The Liberty City Fire Department has three stations, one located on each island. Fire trucks can usually be found parked outside each of the three stations. The stations' locations are as follows:
- Harwood, Portland Island
- Belleville Park, Staunton Island
- Francis International Airport, Shoreside Vale
In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, there are two fire trucks located outside the Staunton Island Fire Station. After completion of the mission Karmageddon for Ned Burner, entering the fire truck to the left (the player see in the game) will trigger the Karmageddon side mission. Completion of this will unlock a Molotov Cocktail spawn behind the fire station.
The FDLC in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories has several mottos, which can be spotted on the side of many firetrucks, these mottos include "Putting out since 1872" and "Don't burn in silence... dial 911".
The LCFD in GTA III is also implied to have an Air Division due to the presence of helicopters bearing the LCFD livery at Francis International Airport, but they are never seen using them.
GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars
Like in previous games, the Fire Department of Liberty City (FDLC) operates Fire Trucks in their service, and has several stations through out all of Liberty City and Alderney. The motto of the FDLC is "Feel The Burn"; this can be seen in fire houses as well as on all of the FDLC's apparatus.
Unlike previous renditions of fire departments, the GTA IV rendition of the FDLC is less responsive towards fire. They do not automatically rush to blazes, and can only be called in using the player's "911" mobile phone call. However, even if there is a fire and the player calls them, they will ignore it and leave after a few seconds. One of the only notable times the FDLC will respond to a fire is the mission "Rigged to Blow".
Overall the firefighters seem to have gotten an overhaul since GTA III, the firefighters now wear full turn out gear (resembles MorningPride gear as per to resemble FDNY), wear Air Packs (it looks like the Scott 4.5 model) and have helmets with patches that say ENGINE 69, also some gear is hung on racks, either to dry off or for firefighters who are not working.
In total, there are at least eight functional Fire Stations scattered all over Liberty City in GTA IV (fire stations in Alderney are not present in GTA: Chinatown Wars, since Alderney is not featured in the game):
List of Fire Stations in GTA IV
- Dillon Street, Rotterdam Hill, Broker, - Broker Fire Station
- Francis International Airport, Dukes. - Francis International Airport Fire Station
- Worm Street, Northern Gardens, Bohan, - Bohan Fire Station
- Exeter Avenue, Northwood, Algonquin. Between Boleyn St. - Northwood Fire Station
- Frankfort Avenue, Westminster, Algonquin, also known as "Engine 47" (unmarked on map). - Westminster Fire Station
- Privateer Road, Fishmarket South, Algonquin. - Fishmarket South Fire Station
- Vitullo Avenue, Berchem, Alderney, also known as "Ladder Company No. 1" and "Engine Company No. 2". - Berchem Fire Department
- Hardtack Avenue, Tudor, Alderney. - Tudor Fire Station
Note that in GTA IV, the only Fire Stations that have a parked fire truck outside the station are the ones in Bohan, Algonquin (with the exception of the Westminster Fire Station) and Alderney.
- In TBOGT, when at the Fire Department on Worm Street, and if the player gets the police on them, the security guards from The Triangle Strip Club will come running in with the police, although they are unarmed and can easily be killed.
- Unlike real firefighters, their protective gear is not fire proof, for example, if a molotov cocktail is thrown at them, they will be burned and thus killed or critically wounded by the extent of their burns.

Riak Architecture Overview
This document describes the design of Riak. It is meant to give both
a description of the shape of the system and also some background in
the terminology used throughout.
Summary and High-level View
Riak is a distributed key-value store, strongly influenced by the
Dynamo Paper[1] and the CAP Theorem[2]. It supports high availability
by allowing tunable levels of guarantees for durability and eventual
A Riak cluster is generally run on a set of well-connected physical
hosts. Each host in the cluster runs one Riak node. Each Riak node
runs a set of virtual nodes, or "vnodes", that are each responsible
for storing a separate portion of the key space.
Nodes are not clones of each other, nor do they all participate in
fulfilling every request. The extent to which data is replicated, and
when, and with what merge strategy and failure model, is configurable
at runtime.
The Ring
(Much of this section is discussed in the Dynamo paper, but it's a
good summary of how Riak implements the necessities.)
Riak's client interface speaks of "buckets" and "keys". Internally,
Riak computes a 160-bit binary hash of the bucket/key pair, and maps
this value to a position on an ordered "ring" of all such values.
This ring is divided into partitions. Each Riak vnode is responsible
for a partition (we say that it "claims" that partition).
The nodes of a Riak cluster each attempt to run roughly an equal
number of vnodes. In the general case, this means that each node in
the cluster is responsible for 1/(number of nodes) of the ring, or
(number of partitions)/(number of nodes) vnodes. For example, if two
nodes define a 16-partition cluster, then each node will run 8 vnodes.
Nodes claim their partitions at random intervals around the ring, in
an attempt at even distribution.
When a value is being stored in the cluster, any node may participate
as the coordinator for the request. The coordinating node consults
the ring state to determine which vnode owns the partition in which
the value's key belongs, then sends the "put" request to that vnode,
as well as the vnodes responsible for the next N-1 partitions in the
ring, where N is a bucket-configurable parameter that describes how
many copies of the value to store. The put request may also specify
that at least W (=< N) of those vnodes reply with success, and that DW
(=< W) reply with success only after durably storing the value.
A fetch, or "get", request operates similarly, sending requests to the
vnode that "claims" the partition in which the key resides, as well as
to the next N-1 partitions. The request also specifies R (=< N), the
number of vnodes that must reply before a response is returned.
The riak node startup is defined by the riak_sup module.
The riak ring is defined by the riak_ring module.
Vnodes are defined by the riak_vnode module.
Gets and Puts are driven by the riak_get_fsm and riak_put_fsm modules,
The ring state is shared around the cluster by means of a "gossip
protocol". Whenever a node changes its claim on the ring, it
announces its change via this protocol. It also periodically
re-announces what it knows about the ring, in case any nodes missed
previous updates.
This gossip protocol is defined in the riak_ring_gossiper and
riak_ring_manager modules.
With any node able to drive any request, and not all nodes needing to
participate in each request, it is necessary to have a method for
keeping track of which version of a value is current. This is where
vclocks come in. The vclocks used in Riak are based on the work
of Leslie Lamport.[3]
When a value is stored in Riak, it is tagged with a vclock,
establishing its initial version. For each update, the vclock is
extended in such a way that Riak can later compare to versions of the
object and determine:
1. Whether one object is a direct descendant of the other.
2. Whether the objects are direct descendants of a common parent.
3. Whether the objects are unrelated in recent heritage.
Using this knowledge, Riak can possibly auto-repair out-of-sync data,
or at least provide a client with an opportunity to reconcile
divergent changesets in an application specific manner.
Riak's vclock usage is defined by the vclock module in the riak source
Riak attempts to move data toward a consistent state across nodes,
but it doesn't do so by comparing each and every object on each node.
Instead, nodes gossip a "merkle tree"[4], which allows them to quickly
decide which values need comparing.
Riak's merkle trees are defined by the merkerl module in the riak source
Sharing data among nodes, on rings, etc. is all well and good, but at
some point, it has to actually be stored somewhere - like on disk!
Because Riak is relevant to a wide variety of applications, its
"backend" storage system is a pluggable one.
Each node may be configured with a different Erlang module for doing
the simple storage, at the vnode level, below all of the
interconnected cluster details. At the backend level, a module only
needs to define "get", "put", "delete", and "keys list" functions that
receive a key and value which are both Erlang binaries. The backend
can consider these binaries completely opaque data, or examine them to
make decisions about how best to store them.
Four backends are packaged with Riak:
1. riak_fs_backend, which stores data directly to files in a nested
directory structure on disk
2. riak_ets_backend, which stores data in ETS tables (which makes it
volatile storage, but great for debugging)
3. riak_dets_backend, which stores data on-disk in DETS tables
4. riak_osmos_backend, which stores data in Osmos tables[5]

Children & Youth: Building tomorrow today
As young people mature, the decisions they make have an enormous impact on their families, their communities and our world. But growing up surrounded by poverty, war or in the aftermath of disaster increases their risks and limits their choices.
That's why giving children and youth the right support at this most critical time is essential to building tomorrow's strong, productive communities.
When disaster strikes, young children are especially vulnerable to developing emotional and social problems that can jeopardize their futures. Mercy Corps worked with experts to design our signature Comfort for Kids program that helps children process their trauma and recover through play, sports and art activities. See our expert's recommendations for how parents and caregivers can help children through times of crisis ▸
For adolescents faced with violence, early marriage and interruptions to schooling, we provide opportunities for community involvement, vocational training and life skills development. Our goal is to empower youth in the toughest places to make smart life choices and invest their energy in developing solutions to their countries' biggest challenges.

Jake Rowe
On Monday, Plant (Tampa, Fla.) safety Paris Bostick gave the Georgia Bulldogs big news by becoming the third safety and 25th overall member of UGA's 2013 signing class.
Coming into last month's Dawg Night, we saw Bostick as a solid prospect that could definitely help a program, but his performance at the event was nothing short of spectacular.
Now, let's take a closer look of Bostick's overall game and what UGA can expect from the three-star safety once he reaches campus.
Where he is great: Bostick is one of the most conscious and savvy players on the field every time he is out there. He does a great job of playing with his head on a swivel and understands what is going on in front of him. At Dawg Night, he was playing with players he had never played with before, but seemed to understand where those guys could and could not be and played his position well.
Bostick is also a very physical and fearless player. He likes to come up and be physical against ball carriers, but he does the same when matched up one-on-one with a tight end or wide receiver. He uses his hands very well, and has an excellent ability to break on the ball in front of him.
His overall athleticism is a huge strength as has excellent body control when going up to break up or intercept a pass. He leaves his feet quickly, and his first few steps out of a back pedal or after a hip turn are his most explosive.
Where he is good: Bostick has above average to good speed and is a mid 4.5 guy in the 40 yard dash. He takes good angles and understands how to fit against the run from his safety position.
Bostick is also a solid tackler in space. He does a good job of maintaining appropriate leverage and reacts with the proper angles to appropriately play the safety position in space.
In one-on-one coverage, he has a very good ability to cover tight ends and running backs. He does a good job of using his hands to feel out the routes, and knows how to reroute receivers in route.
Where he needs work: On film, Bostick shows some lower body stiffness, but that stiffness wasn't evident at Dawg Night. It could be something he has improved upon or he could be doing a good job of masking a weakness.
Bostick also has a tendency to fly up against the run and be out of control at the point of attack. This causes him to over run tackles or to make arm tackles when he could be more fundamentally sound.
When playing near the line of scrimmage, his aggressiveness causes him to get caught up in the traffic at times and lose his ability to fit appropriately against the run, so will need to be more patient at the next level.
Overall: Just like Kell safety Quincy Mauger, Bostick is a very solid pick up for a number of reasons. First of all, he will, at worst, be the type of guy you can really depend on as a special teamer. More than that, however, Bostick has the tools to play safety in the SEC. He has plenty of speed to play close to the line of scrimmage or even play a solid center field. Once he adjusts to the speed of the game in the SEC, he has the ability to become an intimidating safety that can also create turnovers with big hits or interceptions. He is yet another smart, athletic player that understands how to play his position and could surprise people by getting on the field sooner rather than later. ...More...

After my hair twin (seriously, I wish), Rachel Zoe, debuted her new bangs during Fashion Week, I quelled my urge to go completely scissor-happy and opted for a quick do-it-myself trim.
Over the past few years I've gone back and forth from a blunt fringe to a side-swept style, and between my thrice-yearly haircuts (I know, shame on me), I trim them myself. I do such a bang-up job (sorry, couldn't resist), they get glowing reviews from my hairdresser every time.
Here are four scissor-wielding rules to follow faithfully:
1. Put the kitchen shears down. Use hair trimming scissors from any beauty supply shop or, as Marie Claire suggests, cuticle scissors.
2. Always trim dry bangs. Trimming bangs while wet gives you a false sense of length and sets you up for a too-short bang disaster.
3. Cut vertically. Hold the scissors upright and cut up into your ends using little snips. Never cut horizontally across in one big chop.
4. Follow the natural edge of your pre-existing style and go a little at a time. You can always cut more if needed.

APOPliving – Apartments, Houses, Cities…
by driendl*architects , published by SpringerWienNewYork
Summer Meadows as architects, Pinewoods as building authorities, Laurel Leaves as money, … Like a play divided into eight acts, in this book the topic living is given an open stage.
Applied to the societal subject matter of habitation, that entails an increasing need for living space, since people are demanding ever more space, in order to be able to live independently, freely and without being subject to any dictates from outside – they march forward on their own, each one for himself. The tendency towards the one-person household is increasing. Perhaps in future each person will only need his own spacesuit, which at the press of a button regulates temperature, food and entertainment, or is virtually feeding in only pleasant images of people and nature, simply dispensing all unpleasant confl icts and everything that offends the eye. How is living characterised, how will our future habitation be defined?

Commuters in Jacksonville ran into serious delays Thursday morning getting on base.
Camp Lejeune spokesman Nat Fahy said there was an identification check in operation.
"This is a tool used to enforce base regulation and evaluate potential threats, " said Fahy. "However today, there is no cause of concern."
Some drivers said they sat in traffic for nearly 2 hours Thursday morning trying to get on base.
Traffic overflowed Western Boulevard past Onslow Memorial Hospital as people tried to get to Camp Lejeune
By 9 a.m., Fahy said the check had been lifted.

Aeromotive Fuel System - Got GasWritten by on March 16, 2007 It's Time For A Fuel System Remodel
If you've ever owned an old truck with a gas tank in the cab behind the seat, you know how much fun they are. For one, there's the constant smell of gas; two, the lack of storage space; and three, just the idea of driving around with upwards of 20 gallons of fuel immediately behind your kidneys isn't too thrilling. On top of all of that, there's usually some amount of junk and/or gunk in the old tank that's been plaguing the rest of your fuel system from your pump to the carb. We've all tried to get by with band-aid "fixes" thinking it'll go away; I myself have carried an air tank around with me before to backflush the fuel line when the crud got to be too much. Yeah, I'm not proud of that one, but let's all learn our lesson now!
There's a plethora of products you can buy to assemble a fuel system nowadays, so how do you pick what you really need? Sure, there are those super-duper hi-flow race pumps and fuel cells, but that's overkill for anything practical and street driven. Aeromotive makes some of those high-zoot products, but they've now brought the technology of all the best race pumps and filters and scaled them down into something you and I can use on our trucks. In fact, Aeromotive put it like this, "It's rocket science brought down to earth." From design to testing and finally production, they do it all in house, including building and running a company drag car. All their pumps and filters are made with CNC precision and tested before leaving their building in Lenexa, Kansas. Aeromotive's new H/O Series fuel system is made to be used with a carburetor and provides everything between the gas tank and carb. Its pump has a built-in regulator set at 7 psi-which is where it should be for most systems today-and the billet inline filter has a 100-micron, cleanable, stainless steel element inside so you can stop buying those ugly canisters at the parts store. All this comes black-anodized, a new color choice, so it'll blend into any vehicle's surrounding and not stick out like a sore thumb. The H/O kit also includes AN fittings, braided stainless hose, pump relays, solderless terminals, and wire ties. They also offer a post-pump with a 10-micron paper filter just to be on the safe side.
Well, we have a truck, an engine, and the Aeromotive H/O kit, so now we just need a gas tank. Classic Performance Parts (CPP) has a 26-gallon monster tank to mount under the '57-60 F-100's bed. Their tanks are made from aluminum, fully baffled, TIG welded, and made in the USA. They come ready to be used with fuel injection or carburetors, and they can also be ordered with the filler on the top or side depending on your needs. CPP can even custom-make a tank if you need one. They do require a little reorganizing of the stock rear crossmember, but it can be done without using a welder, and it'll get that smelly old tank out from behind the seat.
So if you've been thinking about updating the fuel system in your truck, follow along, and get on the horn to get some help today!

Here's the H/O Series kit from Aeromotive (PN 17245). They've compiled their extensive knowledge of the race and marine industry to put together a kit for street-driven carbureted cars and trucks that meets the requirements of both stock and high-performance applications. They've also added a black finish to most of the parts so they blend in with whatever might be under your hood or going through your chassis. The kit comes with virtually everything you need to get gas from your tank to your carburetor aside from a carb fitting, since there are so many variables there.Of course, we need a place to mount the Aeromotive pump that's as close to the tank as possible and out of the way of moving things like suspension and road obstacles. Try to mount the pump slightly lower than the fuel tank you've just emptied after disconnecting the battery. You'll need two 1/4-inch bolts to mount the fuel pump bracket when you've chosen your spot.With the pump upright like so, tighten the clamp, being careful not to overtighten it, which could damage the pump.Between the pump and the filter is a 3/8-NPT hex nipple that connects the two. Put a small amount of thread sealant on each side and thread it into place. Remember that the filter goes between the fuel tank and the pump, and double-check that the inlet side of the filter is on the side coming from the tank.On the carb side of the pump and the tank side of the filter, you'll install a 3/8-NPT to -8 AN adapter fitting, again with thread sealant. This fitting will allow the -8 AN fitting that'll go on the ends of the braided stainless lines to be hooked up to the pump and filter.Cutting braided stainless hose can be a tricky situation if it's not done right. Luckily, Aeromotive includes a good how-to guide with the instructions, and they also have very comprehensive directions on their Web site, which is a bonus. Measure the hose's cut without being too long, wrap the area in tape, and cut your mark with a cutoff wheel or fine-tooth hacksaw.Next, with a twisting motion, push on the socket (the part in the vise) until it's seated all the way down, and make a little mark on the hose. Put a little bit of oil on the hose end and carefully thread it into the hose. Make sure the hose doesn't push out the other side of the socket. When you're done, tighten the fitting together.
Hook the line up to your carburetor fitting. For consistency, if nothing else, it would be a good idea to have an AN fitting here, too.CPP has a wide variety of aluminum tanks that mount under the bed, like this 26-gallon tank that fits '57-60 F-100s. All their tanks are fully baffled and work with both carbureted or fuel-injected engines, and are available as either a bed-fill or side-fill. Custom tanks are also available. Call CPP for more details.It would probably be possible to install the tank with the bed on the truck, but the few minutes it took to lift the bed off were well spent and made the installation much easier.On the back side of the crossmember just behind the rearend are these gussets riveted in place. The gussets on the bottom are removed to make way for the new monster tank.The tank will mount with these tabs. Nuts are welded to them to hold them in place since the tank will take up all the extra room between the 'rails that your fingers might otherwise get into.Remove the rear crossmember, flip it upside down and backward, and reinstall it at the rear of the frame. It can be bolted into place if need be. Notice the arrow to the right; this is where the crossmember used to be.Next, the upper gusset on the right side needs to be notched so there's clearance for the tank vent fitting. About 3 feet of fuel-safe hose is hooked to this and coiled on top of the tank so it doesn't cavitate.
Since CPP's tanks come ready for fuel-injection or carbureted applications, we plugged the return hole and installed a 90-degree fitting to connect to the rest of the system.Here's a side shot of the tank where you can see how it mounts to the bottom of the frame. On side-fill tanks, the filler would come out here en route to a filler in the side of the bed or fender.

[CS6] My name is Steve Forde--I'm the Senior Product Manager for Adobe After Effects and in this video, we're going to talk about the performance associated with After Effects CS6. Now, one of the key features of After Effects CS6 is a feature called, "the Global Performance Cache" and this is probably one of the biggest changes in After Effects in terms of how it works and how it uses all the resources of your Workstation, in conjunction, to go as fast as possible so that you can see what you're working on without having to wait for the machine. So the first thing I want to show you is-- as you can see here from my Workstation, is while I'm looking at this Comp and I'm using my Disk Cache, which is part of the Global Performance Cache, and you can see that, by the blue line here. And I've also go things checked into RAM--now the nice thing is is that it's reading it from Disk very quickly and going into RAM--and then that means I'm getting, in the case, Realtime performance when I look at things. Well there's a bunch of factors that come into play here. So in this Workstation I have 2 Intel Xeon CPUs, which means I have a total of 16 Cores. Now, all 16 CPUs are not real CPUs. 8 of those CPUs are Hyperthread CPUs. Now this is a HPZ800 Workstation and the hyperthreading offers a lot of benefit for day-to-day operations of things like applying an effect and so forth, in After Effects. However, there are some things that you have to think about on how those CPUs work with the rest of your Workstation when it comes to RAM, Disk, and GPU. So we're going to come back to that in a sec. Here's the most important part: I've got 16 CPUs, and I've also got RAM. I've got to make sure that I've got at least 2 gigabytes of RAM per CPU, real or otherwise. In other words, for this Z800, my minimum configuration--from my perspective-- is 32 Gigs of RAM. The other thing is that this Workstation is also utilizing an Intel Solid-State drive. Now, the Global Performance Cache is really oriented around using, not just your memory in a really effective way, but also persisting the frames to Disk so that when you say Close After Effects, and open it again, you can come back to the exact point you left off. That's going to depend entirely on having Fast Disk. After Effects will go as fast as the Disk you can throw at it. In fact, many of the Workstations that I've seen users use-- the biggest problem is Fast Disk. Not having a fast enough disk-- well, means that your CPUs won't be utilized and that the RAM actually isn't being checked into as quickly as it could be because the disk can't keep up. And the last component for After Effects CS6 is the GPU. The GPU--in this case, an Nvidia Quadro 5000-- is being used in a whole different way that has never been used before in After Effects. As an example, every pixel that we're rendering to the screen is now through OpenGL, which means that you get a faster experience in terms of how you interact with After Effects. The other side is that we've put a full Raytracer into After Effects, meaning that we're using the Optics Toolkit from Nvidia-- and in this case, leveraging the GPU to fully render the scene and getting equal results, irrespective of what kind of card I have inside. Now again, that's going to fall back to your CPUs if you don't have an Nvidia graphics card, but if you do, you're going to get a lot of really good performance with that. The second most important thing, after you look at the hardware, is to go into how you configure After Effects. So as an example, when I go into my Preferences, the first thing I want to look at is Media & Disk Cache. The Global Performance Cache is oriented around, again, persisting your frames and layers in a very unique way so that it can render as fast as possible or only render what's necessary, from that perspective. So the whole point is you want to make this as big as possible, and you want to make it be able to assign that to a disk that is separate from your footage and your system disk. Again, I highly recommend using Solid-State media. The faster the disk, the better. The second component is around memory. And again, I mentioned that there were 16 CPUs in this Workstation. Having 2 gigabytes of RAM per CPU is really important, as a minimum requirement. The other side is that we're also seeing that all the RAM can be shared across the Adobe applications within Production Premium. So that means we're reserving 6 gigabytes for all other applications outside of Production Premium-- and in this case, 26 gigabytes for Production Premium. Now, when you come into multiprocessing, this is where the CPUs come into play again. As an example, if I turn this feature on, essentially I'm going to use--in this case--16 CPUs. Now remember--8 of those CPUs are not full CPUs-- they're Hyperthread CPUs, which means that After Effects is going to treat it like a real CPU because that's what the operating system reports to us. That being said, I want to reserve a bunch of CPUs-- in this case, I know that 8 of them are not real, so I'm going to reserve 8 CPUs for other applications. This means that the operating system has a more likely chance of assigning that frame to a real CPU, and the job will actually be done faster. In this case, we're going to say that there's actually 7 CPUs that will be fully used. The whole point is that you have to make sure that your Disk, your RAM, your Graphics Card, and your CPUs are working in harmony if you are to really effectively use multiprocessing the RAM for all the applications in the Suite and to really get the most out of the Global Performance Cache. In this video we looked at how to take advantage of your Workstation and optimize the performance of After Effects CS6 and get everything to work in harmony. My name is Steve Forde. I'm the Senior Product Manager for Adobe After Effects. Thanks for watching. [Adobe]

Ash's Infernape is a fire/fighting-type Pokémon owned by Ash. It was originally Paul's Pokémon as a Chimchar, but after he was released by Paul, he proved to be a very strong Pokémon, winning Ash many key battles.
As a Chimchar, Infernape was discovered by Paul whilst trying to escape a pack of Zangoose. When it was cornered on the edge of a cliff, Chimchar used Flame Wheel and defeated all the Zangoose. Paul was impressed and decided to catch him.
However, Paul grew disappointed because Chimchar never displayed that kind of power whilst he was training with him. Although Chimchar helped Paul win many battles, including his gym battle with Roark, Paul still considered Chimchar weak and when he defended Ash's Turtwig from a Fire Blast in Glory Blaze, Paul had had enough. Deciding that Chimchar was too soft to use the kind of power he'd seen when it battled the Zangoose, Paul released Chimchar from his team for good and Ash invited him to join his team which Chimchar happily accepted.
After joining Ash's team, Chimchar overcame its fear of Zangoose and was used in many battles. Chimchar weakened Maylene's Meditite and Lucario, defeated Fantina's Drifblim and Mismagius, Byron's Steelix and Bronzor and Candice's Abomasnow.
Chimchar evolved into Monferno during Ash's first full battle with Paul after defeating Paul's Ursaring for the third time. Despite evolving, Monferno was defeated by Electabuzz. Later on in the series, after being knocked to the brink of fainting in a battle against Barry's Empoleon, Monferno went berserk with his Blaze ability and unleashed his full power against Team Rocket. While protecting the Pokémon, Monferno evolved into Infernape.
Infernape was later used in a battle against Flint's Infernape, but lost due to his lack of experience compared to Flint's Infernape. This was Infernape's only defeat since it evolved, and he has won every other battle it was in.
Infernape had a major role in Ash's gym battle in Sunyshore Gym where he easily defeated Volkner's Jolteon and used and fully controlled Blaze to defeat his Volkner's Luxray with a powerful Flame Wheel.
Infernape learned Flare Blitz in Familiarity Breeds Strategy, knocking out Brock's Sudowoodo. He later faced off against Paul's newly evolved Aggron with Flare Blitz which burns it and proceeded to deliver a Mach Punch, defeating Aggron. Infernape later battled Paul's Ninjask. Infernape used Dig and used Flare Blitz underground which made the field burst out Infernape's flames which damaged Ninjask and canceled Paul's Drapion's Toxic Spikes effect and mist surrounded the field which made Infernape attack Ninjask by a single Mach Punch. Infernape battled Paul's Electivire in the final battle between Ash and Paul. Electivire used Thunder and slammed its tail to the ground which made the rocks fly towards Infernape. The so-called "Field Thunder" was done because of Infernape weakening the stability of the field when it used "Underground Flare Blitz". After a lot of battling, Infernape used Mach Punch, however, Electivire's tail caught Infernape's arm. Electivire then proceeded to use Thunder for a long period of time. After Electivire let him out, the referee began to announce that Infernape was unable to battle, but Electivire stopped him from doing so. Suddenly, Infernape began to glow and activated its Blaze and fired a super-powerful blast of Flamethrower which not even Electivire's Thunder could penetrate. Infernape then attacked with a powerful Flare Blitz. Thanks to the Blaze-powered Flare Blitz, Electivire was burnt, gave way and stumbled to the ground, declared unable to battle, with Ash winning the full battle against his long-time Sinnoh rival Paul and ending their rivalry. In DP190 it helped make the ship hot to heal several Baby Pokémon.

- Infernape has used Blaze five times, twice as Chimchar, once as Monferno, and twice as Infernape.
- Infernape lost control as Chimchar and Monferno, and finally controlled it as Infernape.
- Infernape has activated his ability more times than any other Pokémon on Ash's team.
- Infernape lost control as Chimchar and Monferno, and finally controlled it as Infernape.
- Infernape's Flare Blitz seems to be stronger than Flint's Infernape's Infernape, as Infernape's Flare Blitz is blue instead of the Flint's Infernape's Flare Blitz, which is red and yellow. Blue flames are hotter than the normal ones.
- However, Flint's Infernape was seen using a blue Flare Blitz whilst battling Cynthia's Garchomp.
- Infernape is the first Pokémon owned by a rival from Ash, and which was later owned by Ash himself.
- Infernape has some similarities with Paul's Torterra.
- Both are a final evolution of a Sinnoh starter Pokémon.
- Both have only been defeated in one known battle since their final evolution, and both were knocked out with a single Fighting type move in that battle.
- Infernape also shares some similarities with Ash's Charizard and Ash's Pignite.
- All of them are Fire types that evolved from starter Pokémon.
- All of them were abandoned by their original trainer because that trainer thought they were weak.
- All of them became among Ash's most powerful Pokémon, proving that their original trainers had been wrong about their strength.
- Unlike Charizard and Pignite's original trainers, Paul did not lie or fake a kind farewell to Infernape, but rather straight forwardly demanded it leave.
- Another difference is that unlike Charizard and Pignite's original trainers, who had the audacity to ask them to rejoin their team despite the appalling way they treated them, Paul did not attempt to get Infernape to rejoin his team after seeing how powerful he was, thus sparing himself the humiliation of grovelling to Infernape.
- This could also be seen as Paul's one and only act of kindness for Infernape, as it means that Paul truly acknowledges Infernape's growth from the weak and timid Chimchar he abandoned.
- After evolving into Monferno, it become the first time Ash had two starter Pokémon that evolved from the same region.

Look Mini, this is your brother, Porsche!
After a Thai couple named their sextuplets after their favourite car brands, Kipp takes a look at seven other car-themed named children from across the world
July 10, 2012 4:41 by Jyothi M.V.
The Sextuplets
A Thai couple named their sextuplets after their favourite car brands — Audi, Fortune, Porsche, Mini, Volks and Fiat. The sextuplets, three boys and three girls, were born at Bumrungrad International Hospital early May but appeared in public for the first time with their mother Duangchanok Wangwitthayaskul, last Friday on the Rueng Lao Chao Nee morning news programme on Channel 3 in Thailand. Duangchanok's pregnancy was the result of in-vitro fertilisation. After the birth of six children, the parents invited their relatives to help care for children and hire three nannies.
The six babies were named after their parents 'favourite car brands: Audi (girl), Fortune (Toyota Fortune) (girl), Porsche (boy), Mini (girl), Volks (boy) and Fiat (boy).

A Texan couple, Mac Neil and his wife Joanne, decided to name their children after luxury car manufacturers, after she spotted a Lexus SUV parked at the local McDonald's. She was contemplating on names like Alexis and Alexa, until she saw the luxury SUV. Her daughter is named Lexxus, 'Lexus' with an extra 'x' on insistence from the baby's father to make it more original. But baby Lexxus is not alone. According to baby names on social security applications in the U.S., 353 girls were named Lexus in 2000. Another couple, Kirsteen and Stu Vaughan named their Baby girl Madison Lexus after she was born in the car.

Porsche and Audi
Craig and Sondra Harrington of Kilgore had named their first daughter (now 6 years old) Lexus, so when they found out they were expecting twins, they wanted to keep up with the car-themed naming convention, and now their two newest additions are named Porsche and Audi.
Samantha Smyth and Tony Richardson named their baby Kia Richardson as she was born in the back seat of her grandmother's seven-seater Kia, just before her grandparents arrived at Poole Hospital in Dorset. The local dealership of Kia Motors decided to gift them a car after hearing they had named their baby Kia. And it is the same model baby Kia was born in, with a five-year warranty. Michael Cole, managing director of Kia Motors (UK) Ltd said: "All of us at Kia are delighted for Tony and Samantha and flattered that they have called their new baby Kia after she was born in granny's Carens. We know how good the Carens is for families – especially growing ones – so we thought we should help them out by giving them a Carens of their own."We would like to welcome Kia to the Kia family and wish her a wonderful life."

Roger Karr Jr. had been searching for names for his baby boy for months. But when he watched a movie called "Crank," with a character called "Chevy" he thought it would be the perfect name for his son. Incidentally, half of his family members drove them, and Roger himself has driven nothing but Chevys, his first car being a Chevy El Camino. When his first-born son arrived, he took bits from the name of his favourite brand of car and his favourite NASCAR driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., to name his son Chevy Dale Karr.

When Leslie Russell started having contractions she was picked up by her mother to the hospital, but she knew there wasn't much time to get to the hospital, so she and her mother pulled up to the University of Chicago Medical center, screaming for help. Dr. Heather Johnston, a University of Chicago pediatrician happened to see them and helped Leslie through her labour right in the front seat of her mother's Toyota Camry. They named the baby "Camryn" in honour of the Camry she was born in. The baby's full name is Claire Camryn Russell.

Chris Redford of Eastbourne, Sussex, UK is obsessed with Volkswagen, his craze for the car made him decorate his home with VW merchandise and memorabilia. He wears over 70 Volkswagen tattoos. He took his obsession to a whole new level when he named his new-born daughter, Scarlet Victoria Willow, with the middle initials V.W.

Richard Gilbert, a Peace Corps volunteer, during his stay in the Philippines in the early 1960s, attempted to drive a woman in labour to a hospital over 30 miles away. Gilbert's Willy's Jeep broke down en route, so the baby boy was born in the back seat. In honour of both the vehicle and the volunteer, the baby was named Jeep Gilbert Ragay.

A college student would get a laptop and they would not need the e-reader.
Hi all it's my first post so hi!
I'm 16 years old and a college student and recently I had an issues with my Kindle so it is getting replaced free of charge. I only have the 4th gen one and having no backlight really annoys me... I'm definitely selling it when it arrives but I don't know if I should go and buy a Kobo Glo/Kindle Paperwhite or a tablet, all will be the same price but I don't know what to go for.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which I use for emailing and well, most things and I can only see a tablet as a bigger version of it, it will be a nicer viewing experience but I can only see myself not getting that much use out of it because it will be easier just to crack out my phone. The tablet will do what my phone is just it's bigger which has it's advantages and disadvantages.
Your opinions?
