Matt K is the act of removing excess ink from a pen or typewriter ribbon by marking up one or more sheets of paper. In contemporary usage, writing is the primary means of preventing a computer screen from freezing. In either case, literature, or even a remotely coherent string of text, is a coincidental by-product of the process. However, this by-product occurs distressingly often and if unchecked can lead to publication, which in turn may cause widespread entertainment, learned discourse, cultural enhancement, and other forms of pollution.
Writing Myths and Facts
Myth: You must live a life of suffering, substance abuse, isolation and insanity in order to write well.
Fact: These factors are only necessary for maintaining a LiveJournal, which is emphatically not a form of writing.
Myth: You must write "x" number of pages every day.
Fact: The optimum daily number of pages is actually "xiv."
Myth: Good writing always uses standard English, proper grammar, and correct punctuation.
Fact: wht, u, sayn, bitch?!?!1
Myth: Writing in large quantitties while retaining quality is very difficult, and--
Fact: Ha ha, d00d, you said titties!
Genres of Writing
Whining, also known as Bitching, Kvetching, or Buggin'. By far the most popular genre, requiring the fewest brain cells.
Begging. This is usually more effective in oral form, because it's hard to convey the pitch and tone of a newborn puppy in writing.
Bragging, or Fronting. From its oral roots in ancient hip-hop culture, this genre has come to dominate such watermarks of high culture as MySpace.
Profound Original Thoughts which OMG I Must Record for Posterity Right Now. See LSD.
What To Do When It All Goes Wrong
1. Panic
2. Scream
3. Moo like a cow
(if you still haven't sorted it by this point, you might like to try some of these options)
3. Screw it up and take a cool dropshot over your shoulder into the bin
4. Correction Fluid.
Writer's Block
Everyone experiences writer's block on occasion. This occurs when your no-good coworker over in the next cubicle "borrows" your pen and inevitably fails to return it, thus blocking you from writing. To prevent writer's block, call your pen by name, stroke it affectionately, and hold imaginary conversations with it. This will make your coworker think twice about "borrowing" your pen, or making any contact with you whatsoever.
Writer's Block may also occur when there are so many other things you could be doing, like Fact: pr0n, man! Yeah! Myth: Stop interrupting me, dammit!
Writing began two hundred years ago in the ancient Death Valley civilization of California. The extremely hot climate caused the Valleyites to slouch as they trudged through the desert, prompting the invention of the walking stick to prevent falling down. One day the village elder Gilgamesh Q. Playa noticed that his walking stick had become weighted down with dirt, and he began to tap the ground in short, rapid strokes in order to clean it. Before long, Playa had inadvertently composed the first known literary work, Confessions of an Heiress, under the equally inadvertent pseudonym of Paris Hilton. This accidental discovery gave the Valleyites hours of fun writing in the sand. It also led to the demise of the entire civilization due to heat stroke.
Subsequent civilizations, such as the Deadheads and Burningmanites, built on the innovation of their noble and stupid predecessors. Both groups, independent of each other, greatly simplified the art of writing by using a "stylin'" to engrave stone and clay tablets, the direct ancestors of the PalmPilot, only ten times more efficient. Meanwhile, further south and a little to the left, the Incas pioneered the use of pulped hemp sheets as a writing medium and, less successfully, the use of smoked hemp as inspiration for writing. Nevertheless, the pastime of hemp smoking lent its name to the black fluid which the Incas used for writing. After a night of stoned scribbling, they would stare at what they had written and say, "I don't have an inkling what this means." Even the name "Inca" comes from the same root. Bear in mind that spelling had not yet been invented.
The final and most important writing innovation came with the invention of alphabet soup in 1867. For the first time in history, people realized that they didn't have to waste time and give themselves repetitive strain injury by actually writing letters. They needed only arrange the pasta letters into words. The resultant increase in first and second degree burns abated when authors realized that using cold alphabet cereal worked just as well as dipping one's fingers in hot soup. In any case, the separation of literary activity from writing meant that people could finally clear their pens of all that messy ink, a process which continues to this day.
Alternative Writing Methods
Other forms of writing methods are used, but no-one wants to keep them in them library things. Like:

However, Rod Hall and the Clemson Tigers were having none of it.
The Illini's final basket – a trey by Jon Ekey – at the 2:05 mark in the second half set up a flurry of missed shots and a final nine second showdown that left many Clemson fans wondering if the Tigers' season would end in similar fashion to the Pittsburgh and Duke games.
This time, though, Hall hit the driving layup to give Clemson a one point lead and Damarcus Harrision was able to inbounds the ball to seal the 50-49 victory over Illinois and advance the Tigers to a Tuesday night bout with Belmont for the right to play in New York City.
Clemson head coach Brad Brownell told the media after the game that he wanted the ball in Hall's hands because of his ability to drive to the basket.
"We really played well in the last three or four plays of the game," Brownell said. "We told our guys if we get the stop, then we had a play called. But then we thought if we get a rebound and have an open court, then go play and trust Rod to go make a good decision. He got to the rim and scored and we called a timeout to set up our defense and then had a really good last stop on the last possession of the game."
Sunday's game had many similarities to the Duke game in the ACC Tournament, but this time Hall said he was determined to have a different outcome.
"I was just going to do better and get the ball into the basket," Hall said. "Even though the call didn't go the way I wanted it in that [Duke] game, I put that out of my memory and focused on what I was doing. We got a stop and [Landry] Nnoko gave me a good outlet. I was just trying to get my ball to my right hand and I did for a good layup."
After taking a 50-49 lead with nine seconds remaining, Illinois' Tracy Abrams shot a three that never touched the rim and fell out of bounds, leading Brownell and the Tigers to think back to the Pittsburgh game where they failed to get the ball inbounds.
Harrison took the ball out of bounds and with neither of his first two options – Hall or Austin Ajukwa open – he launched the ball down court toward Nnoko, hoping that one of his teammates could get a hand on the ball in order to start the clock.
"That [the Pittsburgh game] certainly came to mind," Brownell said. "We were trying to get it in, first thing. The one thing though, is that as athletic as K.J. [McDaniels] and Rod are, they're not great cutters. They're strong guys and K.J. is more of a jumper than a runner. It is hard sometimes for us to get open. The great play, because we were trying to go to Nnoko but they were fouling him and not letting him get the ball, was for Rod to get to the ball and tip it back in. Phenomenal, heads up play. Rod certainly made a great play on a difficult situation."
Seeing that Nnoko was being held by an Illini player, Hall raced down the court and tipped the ball into the air to keep it in bounds and preserve the win.
"The dude had Nnoko in a headlock down there, so I just had to get my hand on the ball to get the clock going," Hall said. "I was just trying to tip it, so that I could get the clock going. I had a hard time getting away from him so that I could get to the ball. I'm glad Rod ran down the court and tipped it back."

I had the pleasure of watching the first instalment in the animated adaptation of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. Produced by Bruce Timm and from director by Jay Oliva, the movie does an impressive job adapting the first two chapters of Miller's iconic Batman story into an eighty-minute film. Sure, there's the occasional hiccup. It's a shame to lose the gritty narration, although the animated adaptation of Year One proved that you need an actor of Bryan Cranston's calibre to pull it off – perhaps a wise decision. Still, I'm relatively excited about the second volume, which will see release in 2013, and will adapt the final two issues of the miniseries, offering a near-three-hour adaptation of one of the most influential comic books ever written.
However, with The Dark Knight Rises due for a DVD and blu ray release at the end of the month, Christopher Nolan's "other" Batman ending was weighing on my mind. Nolan's trilogy is undoubtedly the high water mark of cinematic superhero adaptations, offering a three-act story exploring the roots, the development and the ending of the career of the Caped Crusader. Throughout his trilogy, Nolan has been heavily influenced by Miller. Of course, virtually every writer handling the character can't help but play off Miller's massively influential take on the character. However, I find The Dark Knight Rises most interesting in how it contrasts with the other earlier story exploring a retired Batman's return to crime-fighting, with Christopher Nolan's take on Batman defying quite a few of Miller's conclusions about the character, and suggesting that Batman isn't a nihilistic fatalistic character with one inevitable outcome his career.
That said, it's fair to argue that Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns isn't really an ending. After all, the ending was left open enough that Miller could draft a sequel, the divisive The Dark Knight Strikes Again. Even if you discount Miller's belated follow-up, the moral of the story seems to be that Batman is simply indestructible. You can bury him within the "hollow shell" of Bruce Wayne for years, you can blow up Wayne Manor, you can self-medicate with booze – but Batman will out. The story ends with the Dark Knight vowing to lead the "Sons of Batman" and fashion them into some sort of army for the cause of justice. With Wayne Manor destroyed and Alfred deceased, it seems that Frank Miller suggests that the inevitable outcome of the Batman story is a death: but not the death of Batman, the death of Bruce Wayne.
It's a sad and tragic take on the character, and it has informed decades of comic book continuity and other adaptations. Even Tim Burton's decidedly Tim-Burton-esque Batman seemed to acknowledge it, suggesting that Bruce was one of Burton's trademark "freaks" who could only properly relate to the world in his Batman persona. (It also borrowed Miller's pearl necklace iconography, perhaps the most oft-cited visual legacy of Miller's work with the pop culture legend.) The animated Batman Beyond series, with its notion of "Batman of the future", was clearly heavily inspired by this portrayal of Bruce. When a voice tries to drive him insane, Bruce confesses how he figured out it wasn't all in his head. "The voice in my head kept calling me Bruce… I don't call myself Bruce."
Even the comics themselves have often struggled to escape the impressive shadow cast by Miller's writing. An impressive early indication of the story's influence, A Death in the Family saw readers asked to vote on whether to kill off Jason Todd – a stark premise, considering that the death of Todd motivated Batman's retirement in The Dark Knight Returns. A lot of the "grim-dark" aspects of modern and nineties Batman – including questions about his sanity and his gruff demeanour – are rooted in The Dark Knight Returns and Year One. Grant Morrison's extended Batman run could be seen as a conscious attempt to push the character in directions that have been closed off since Miller's portrayal came to dominate the Caped Crusader's persona. Describing his own Daredevil: The End project, writer Brian Michael Bendis has argued that The Dark Knight Returns has become DC continuity "through sheer force of will." Neil Gaiman's Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? suggests that this pessimistic and fatalistic view of Batman has become part of the myth, with Gaiman's many alternate Batman stories sharing one constant: Bruce dies, in some form or another, as Batman. He can't stop. He can't escape. The details change, Gaiman suggests, but conclusion is inevitable.
It's inevitable, then, that the definitive big-screen adaptation of Batman should have a lot of Miller's influence. While Nolan refuses to allow the comics to overwhelm his narrative, his work is heavily influenced by a wealth of iconic Batman stories. The Joker's motivation in The Dark Knight is that same motivation in The Killing Joke albeit on a larger scale, which also provides the notion of his "multiple choice" personal history. Harvey Dent's story arc in The Dark Knight is taken from The Long Halloween. The Dark Knight Rises borrows elements from two major nineties story arcs, Knightfall and No Man's Land. However, all these serve Nolan's story, which exists as more than just a series of winks and nudges.
Appropriately here are all manner of nods to Miller's comics in Nolan's work. Despite the fact that it owes a considerable debt to Miller's Year One, David Goyer has argued that Batman Begins is not a simple adaptation. "Our story is not Year One," he replied when asked about it. Still, there are quite a few areas of overlap. The portrayal of Jim Gordon as the single honest cop in a department rife with corruption might be toned down, but it's an area that is shared between both stories. The character of Loeb is carried over. Batman's "back-up" in Arkham should seem familiar to any comic book fan. The movie even ends with a call-forward to the Joker's inevitable arrival.
Similarly, there are all manner of references to The Dark Knight Returns seeded throughout The Dark Knight Rises. The notion that Batman has retired due to a grave personal loss, with Bruce Wayne refusing (or unable) to move on provides a handy starting point for both stories. The exo-skeleton seen briefly in The Dark Knight Rises seems similar to Batman's suped-up suit in The Dark Knight Returns. The cops borrow some of Miller's dialogue (paraphrased) during the chase sequence. "Oh boy, you are in for a show tonight son!"
Bane seems like a spiritual successor to Miller's mutant leader, the embodiment of the next generation of terror to upset the establishment. "Don't call us a gang!" the mutant leader protests, as if to argue that they are simply the future given form. Like the mutants, Bane seeks anarchy in Gotham, creating a society where the strong rule through force – what he argues is "the next era in Western civilisation!" The city winds up literally cut off from the rest of the country in The Dark Knight Rises, but the sense of dread in the face of nihilistic violence seems quite similar to that presented in The Dark Knight Returns.
The biggest challenge facing Gordon isn't the heavily armed mercenary army, which admits that it doesn't have the power to hold an entire city hostage – it's the apathy and terror of the people of Gotham who refuse to stand up for what's right. Until Batman offers a symbol that they can stand behind. In a way, that idea is the strongest thematic connection between Miller and Nolan's portrayal of the Caped Crusader – the notion that Batman is more than just a man. In The Dark Knight Returns, the man is mentally unbalanced and almost psychotic. However, the symbol provides the glue to hold Gotham together during its longest and darkest night. I think it's fair to argue that this is the point where Nolan and Miller most firmly overlap in their portrayal of the Caped Crusader.
However, I'd argue that there's a more fundamental disagreement between the two over the character of Bruce Wayne, something I'd been mulling over for a while, but became clearest to me while watching the animated adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns. I'd argue that one of the strongest aspects of Nolan's Batman trilogy is the way that it provides an alternative to Miller's vision of Bruce, and that it suggests that there isn't one inevitable conclusion to the dynamic between Bruce and Batman. It dares to suggest an ending to the character that is different from the one that has become so influential that it has practically been etched in stone.
There has been a great deal of debate over the final few minutes of The Dark Knight Rises, and what it says about the ultimate fate of Bruce Wayne. Although the evidence does lean in one direction, I accept that there's some element of disagreement about what literally happened, as opposed to what we saw happening on screen. Nolan is a director who likes to play with that disconnect, and I'm not entirely sure that there is a definitive answer as to the fate of Bruce Wayne at the end of The Dark Knight Rises. I'm non-committal. I'll accept an argument for one side or the other, although I do tend to favour one outcome over the other.
That said, I think we'll all agree that the final few minutes of the film are built – no matter what ultimately happened – on hope. Lucius Fox discovers the auto-pilot was fixed, and so he hopes that Bruce survived. Jim Gordon discovers a restored Bat-Signal on top of the MCU and so is given hope about the fate of Batman. Alfred is coping with the way he failed Thomas and Martha Wayne in his duty to their son, and see something that give him hope. While Frank Miller's vision suggests that Batman and Bruce Wayne are locked in a life-and-death struggle that will only end with one killing the other, Nolan dares to hope that there might be something better. Both Bruce and Batman can live on, in their own fashion.
The Dark Knight Returns is about Bruce's doomed struggle to suppress the Batman, a personality that reasserts itself so completely that it can even shave his moustache. It berates him, erodes him, destroys him… until there's only Batman left. Miller hints that Bruce never left either that old well on the Wayne grounds, or that alley following the murder of his parents. Since then, the Batman has been in control, like some raging consuming beast inside. Bruce has never been free, never been able to escape the monster in his subconscious. It's certainly a grim portrayal, and it was the more powerful because it was a lot bolder than any take on the character up until that point.
The Dark Knight Rises reverses that dynamic. It works because it's in stark contrast to everything since The Dark Knight Returns. The Dark Knight Rises sees Bruce tasked with pulling himself out of the Pit – a prison clearly designed to evoke both (a.) the well and (b.) the Lazarus Pit. Alfred can't do it for him. Bruce has to pull himself out of that bleak dark hole, and climb into the light. Not Batman, but Bruce. Bruce has to decide that he wants to live. Bruce has to embrace fear, and allow it to humanise him.
"Sometimes the pit throws something back," Alfred notes at one point, and he's talking about Bane – Batman's shadow counterpart, a mythological persona which has so effectively cannibalised its human host that he can't even remove the mask. However, he could also be talking about Bruce. Bruce was trapped down that well with those bats for a long time – even after his father rescued him. He has lived in darkness, to the point where Alfred questions whether he is really living at all.
The Dark Knight Rises is the story of Bruce reclaiming his humanity, of taking back his life. One of the most powerful moments of the film, and one frequently overlooked as Gordon's admission of culpability and guilt in The Dark Knight ("We have to save Dent! I have to save Dent!"), sees Batman confronted with a broken and twisted Talia Al Ghul, a woman who has sacrificed everything to live up to her father's legacy and to accomplish his goals. Arguably knowing Ra's better than he knew his own father, Bruce recognises the folly of all that. Ra's Al Ghul would not want his daughter to die like that, given the sense of loss and personal guilt that drives him.
Christian Bale manages to capture the moment perfectly, even under a mask that covers half his face. In that one moment, with no clunky exposition, no awkward melodrama, we see that Bruce is finally realising that his parents would not want this for him. Seeing Talia die for nothing seems to be the moment that Bruce makes the decision to live. Up until that moment, he clearly intended to stay in Gotham after he vanquished Bane. When Blake thanks him for his assistance, Batman defers, expecting to be around later. "Don't thank me. Not yet." He seems a little surprised when Blake responds, "I may not get another chance."
The Dark Knight Rises offers a version of Batman that doesn't have to end in Bruce Wayne's death. Maybe it does, but Nolan makes it clear that it doesn't have to. He suggests that, unlike Miller, Bruce Wayne is not a person so fundamentally broken that he's completely beyond redemption, that he can't yet pull himself out of the darkness. I actually really like that aspect of the trilogy. There are a lot of reasons that Nolan's decision to end the trilogy in a relatively optimistic and upbeat fashion feels earned. Given the outside tragedies surrounding The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, a hopeful ending feels strangely appropriate. However, I also like that it offers a fundamentally humanist and hopeful take on one of the great pop culture icons.
One of the most obvious differences in the iconography of Nolan and Miller concerns the aforementioned pearl necklace, one of the great visual elements that Miller added to the murder of the Waynes. In The Dark Knight Returns, the necklace is ripped from Martha's neck. The pearls are scattered, sent falling through the air, landing in muddy water. The necklace is completely destroyed, like Bruce's innocence and his humanity.
In The Dark Knight Rises, the pearls are recovered and intact, they are simply locked away in a secure safe. However, they are not gone. If they do symbolise Bruce's humanity and personality, there's something very heart-warming about seeing them on full display towards the end of the film. Miller believed they were lost forever. Nolan simply argues they were safely compartmentalised, and are not beyond recovery.
Interestingly enough, this week's Batman & Robin 14 (from Peter Tomasi, Patrick Gleason and Mike Gray) ended with the revelation that Damian had been searching Gotham's sewers in an attempt to recover Martha Wayne's lost pearls. It would seem that Tomasi agrees with Nolan. Some things need not be lost forever.
Very cool article. Batman and Miller and co forever!

Sit up = Spit up
My perfect RAINBOW baby is a big sister...to a little brother that may outweigh her any day now!
Comments (8)
yes.....when he sits up, we pretend to walk him on his feet, or hold him, he spits up....which makes it tough when you are trying to put him to sleep in your arms and he keeps spitting up...usually does it about 3 times after a bottle, over the course of an hour or so.
Same here. DD was spitting up after every meal b/c she likes to sit. So now, until we've given it at least 30 min, we have her stretched long ways on our chest or sit upright, reclined in her bounce chair. She also can't lay down right away or she spits up.

My dd spit up a lot more when we first started putting her in the Bumbo - it was a sign that she didn't have the trunk control to hold herself upright yet. Now she rarely spits up when she's sitting.
dd 2/01, dd 3/03 and my Junebug born on 6/8/10!
Sitting them upright puts pressure on their tummies, so if they have a full belly their likely to spit up. My son is 3 1/2 months old and I go through the same thing. I usually try to keep him at an incline or on his back before for a while before I put him in his bumbo seat or hold him in a sitting position.

Yea... Same here. She tries to sit up herself when I place her at an incline and like PP said she also spits up when she lays flat.

my son spits up like crazy..this nurse said to keep him in an upright seating position and boy was she wrong! He never was this bad, he throws up the whole bottle. Me and his father have to change him and ourselves often. I like the idea about the incline ill try that see how it works out. He was fine before when id lay him down now its whether hes up or down so ill try whatever works! If any on has an advice im all for it.

To AiMzeeBabiee.. My daughter was diagnosed with GERD when she was a baby because she would actually throw up, not just spit up, her whole bottle. Her doctor told me to start putting rice cereal in her bottle. It worked wonders. I started with about 1/2 a teaspoon per scoop of formula, and went up to 1 teaspoon per scoop when needed. They have a special kind of formula that is for babies who spit up often, but she couldnt use it because she also had a milk allergy. I know some people are completely against giving babies anything but formula or breastmilk for 4 or 6 months but if he is really spitting up bad, I would try it or consult your pediatrician. Just a suggestion :)

- Abstract
- Biofunctional nanorods are developed to specifically target cancer cells. The cervical cancer cells, HeLa cells, are labeled by these biofunctional gold nanorods. Those cancer cells can be detected by a multi-photon-excited photoluminescence endomicroscope, which proves that the cancers can be in vivo diagnosed by using biofunctional gold nanorods with nonlinear endomicroscopy.

Prediction of volcanic activities:
These predictions are very hard, and sometimes are false, and they are based on two principles, one principle is volcano geological knowledge and other one is the setting of one control station at volcano area.
Given the geological studies and age determination of one volcano, we can know it's activities type, number of eruptions, order and rule of eruptions and sleep time of volcano.
The setting of the control station at volcanos that it is possible their activity, is useful. In these stations, seismographs and soil movement test device are installed which they are named as tilt meter.
The penetration of magma from depth to the surface is caused to break stones under volcano, that these fractures cause the shakings. By continuing the fractures and rising the magma upward, the rised magma will eject finally.

Fact-checking contentious issues from this election season
What more election coverage? Read profiles and Q&As on www.thepresstribune.com/categories/political.
What seemingly began as community-minded individuals seeking positions on local elected boards has become a scene of simmering tensions this campaign season.
Most of the drama involves the race among seven candidates running for three open seats on the Roseville City Council, and the competition among three candidates for two seats on the Eureka Union School District board of trustees.
The Press Tribune compiled a summary of the big conflicts this election season based partly on emails to our reporter and letters to the editor.
Eureka Schools Foundation database breach
In late August, the nonprofit Eureka Schools Foundation's private donor database was inappropriately used to invite parents to a campaign event — later canceled — benefitting candidates Renee Nash and Ryan Jones, who are running as political allies.
Nonprofit organizations are prohibited from participating or intervening in any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for elected public office. Nash attributed the breach to an uninformed volunteer and Jones blamed it to "clerical error."
But some readers suggest whomever was responsible should have known better. Only five people have access to the ESF database, which includes two board members with full access, one board member with limited access and two paid outside professionals — an accounting firm and bookkeeper, according to President Tory Griffin.
Griffin would not confirm which three board members have access. But sources point to ESF operating committee member Mark Goozen as the person who sent the invite for the Nash/Jones event. He has also contributed money to both campaigns, and was paid $375 by the Nash campaign for "reimbursement for supplies for signs."
According to Griffin, Nash promptly compensated the foundation for "the one-time use of only a tiny fraction of the thousands of names in the database." Nash also reimbursed the foundation again for the single use of a small number of email addresses, he said.
"The foundation's operating committee is satisfied with the resolution of this issue in its entirety," Griffin said.
Nash's most recent campaign paperwork through Sept. 30 filed with the Placer County Office of Elections does not show payment to the foundation for use of their database.
Upset over election signs
The Press Tribune received several emails and calls from residents upset over election signs — their location, overabundance and tendency to get stolen.
City Council candidate Tracy Mendonsa had several dozen of his signs go missing and confirmed that in early October signs were removed from his front lawn and replaced with another candidate's signs. His house was also hit with pumpkins. The police were called but no report filed, he said.
One reader was upset that Eureka Union School District school board candidate Kristie Greiss failed to sign the statement of responsibility for election signs with the city of Roseville. The district serves schools in both Granite Bay and east Roseville. Greiss signed the paperwork required by Placer County to place signage in Granite Bay.
Roseville Area Business PAC endorsements
Over the summer, the Roseville Area Business Political Action Committee — established by the Roseville Chamber of Commerce — interviewed council candidates for endorsements, including Scott Alvord.
"I was certain there was no way my own chamber would really not endorse me since I'd be — always have been — such a good asset for our business community," Alvord told the Press Tribune. "In fact, I texted my wife when I walked out of the interview that I was certain I'd get the endorsement."
While there are three open seats, the committee only endorsed two candidates.
Alvord did not get the endorsement by the business group, despite being the only business owner in the bunch. He has also served on chamber committees, and his consulting firm trains small business owners. Alvord said he'd been warned ahead of time by multiple people the PAC "had already selected their new 'anointed one.'"
Robert Sinclair, on behalf of the PAC, said the committee voted unanimously to endorse incumbent Carol Garcia and Bonnie Gore based on their longstanding business support, chamber involvement and community participation.
"Regarding other candidates for office, the bylaws of the PAC prevent any member of the committee from discussing its deliberations outside of committee meetings," Sinclair said.
Friends of Roseville newsletter
Thousands of Roseville residents recently received the FOREfront newsletter in their mailboxes with a front page story on the council race with a summary of two candidates who "merit your support:" Phil Ozenick and Pauline Roccucci.
Roccucci is Roseville's mayor and Ozenick chairs Friends of Roseville, the citizens watchdog group that publishes FOREfront. The newsletter appears to endorse these two candidates. Why is this potentially a problem? Because Friends of Roseville is a nonprofit organization and is prohibited from engaging in political campaign activities on behalf of or in opposition to candidates for public office.
Ozenick told the Press Tribune that the newsletter isn't giving endorsements but "merely suggests that both 'merit' support."
"Friends of Roseville has used the same terminology for other candidates over the years who support (our) ideals," he said.
Flier to Sun City residents
Meanwhile, Sun City residents recently got a letter from a group calling itself the League of Placer County Taxpayers — this is not the same Auburn-based organization that existed for 39 years to fight government waste and is in the process of dissolving, according to former President Wally Reemelin.
The letter is signed by Roseville Vice Mayor Susan Rohan, Councilman John Allard and Placer County Supervisor Kirk Uhler among others and attempts to "correct false campaign statements" made by Ozenick. The letter states Ozenick "did not take part in a vote in 'bringing you a Sun City.'"
Ozenick has publicly said he played a role in bringing Sun City to Roseville, telling the Press Tribune he held a meeting in his kitchen with a prominent player in the development. But Rohan said for him to claim he played any significant role is untrue. Rohan worked as vice president of government affairs for Del Webb during the development of Sun City Roseville.
The letter also states that Ozenick, while on the Placer County Board of Supervisors in 1990, "voted to increase his own taxpayer-funded salary by 43 percent." Actually, Ozenick served as supervisor from 1991 to 1994, as confirmed by Placer County public information officer Mike Fitch. The vote took place Nov. 13, 1990.

November 21st, 2011 by USC Rossier Online Staff
When I got the e-mail from USC about the EdCamp unconference, I was tempted to delete it unread. After all, nothing ever happens in Harrisburg and I wasn't sure I wanted to visit Philadelphia or Washington for an "unconference".
But, I did read it, and I was pleasantly surprised that there would be one in Harrisburg. After checking my calendar, I immediately registered for the event. I'm very interested in instructional technology, so the opportunity to learn about ways to incorporate it in the classroom was too great to pass up.
An unconference is almost the exact opposite of a conference. A conference is a teacher-driven instruction. There is a fixed agenda and the sessions are led by teachers who lecture. If there is time, there might be a question-and-answer period, but you're there to learn what the teacher has to say.
An unconference, on the other hand, is a learner-driven instruction. Participants themselves decide what they're willing to speak on and session attendees drive the discussion; anyone can offer their experiences and everyone has the ability to add something.
As a pre-service teacher, I was more apt to observe the discussion since I don't feel there is much I can add to the table yet, I don't have the experience of a classroom teacher. At one session about online learning, I found that I actually had a lot to contribute because of my experiences as a student in the MAT@USC program.
I may never have taught an online class, but I was still able to talk about my perception of what makes a good online teacher… because I've had good online teachers. I was also able to speak to some of my frustrations because I've also had teachers who may not have been as suited for the virtual classroom. My experiences with both types of teachers helped add some perspective to other attendees who may be tasked with implementing online classes, but who may not have had the experience of being a student in such a class.
Due to the fact that the session facilitators were also working professionals, I found a lot of inspiration! They shared the tools they are using in their own classrooms for learning and gave insight on what works and what doesn't. I learned several ways that students can interact with their classmates and me outside of school to work on projects and to ask questions. For example, my favorite communications tool is now Twitter!
Twitter is what we used during EdCamp to post questions, share information, and stay in touch. In fact, since EdCamp, I've been able to network with other teachers and have even participated in a Twitter chat for social studies teachers (#SSChat). What better way to improve one's own practice than to learn from other teachers? Thanks to EdCamp, I've found a very useful tool that I can incorporate into my lesson planning and Twitter is just one of many!
The final wrap-up was a Tech Smackdown. Attendees who wished to do so had 60 seconds to share their favorite websites. These websites are now available online. After the Smackdown, there was a raffle for door prizes that EdCamp's generous sponsors donated.
I had such a great experience with EdCamp Harrisburg that I am already looking forward to next year's. If you have the opportunity to go to one, I strongly suggest that you do; it will not be a wasted day. If you don't, start one! Check out the website and contact the organizers of the Harrisburg EdCamp to find out how.

County forks over $470K for PIOs
By: Gus Thomson Journal Staff Writer
Residents question salaries of spokespeople, managers; one position will be vacant
The Placer County CEO's office appears to be downsizing again, but many residents are appalled the bureaucracy and salaries were so large just last year. The latest organizational move by CEO Tom Miller, whose annual salary is $245,269, follows the retirements of his $243,131-a-year Chief Assistant Executive Officer Rich Colwell and $169,104-a-year Assistant CEO Mike Boyle. Miller's salary has been reduced to $233,949 this past year because of a dozen furlough days. That leaves one assistant CEO — $169,104-a-year Holly Heinzen. The other two top executives aren't being replaced. Auburn's Dan Sokol, vice president of the Taxpayers League of Placer County, said government administrators have created their own value system that holds no relevance to financial realities. "The whole situation is ridiculous," Sokol said. "They've created what, in the league's point of view, is an overpriced system." Sokol added that he feels many of the new positions created in government allow the manager above that position to take a raise in pay because of the policy that requires one level of management to have a higher percentage salary than the level below. Department shakeout The departure of the two executives has filtered down to the county's mid-management level, with a shakeout in its $470,000-a-year public information office. In the latest staffing changes under The Domes, Placer County's public information office is merging with community outreach and emergency functions while keeping a key position unfilled. The three-person office — which for several years has been staffed by longtime public information officer Anita Yoder and assistant PIOs Mike Fitch and Robert Miller – will continue to work out of the County Executive's Office under CEO Tom Miller but be more closely aligned with community outreach and emergency services efforts. But because of Boyle's retirement and a Board of Supervisors decision not to hire a replacement for Yoder after her mid-month retirement, the public information function will now be part of the emergency services-community outreach office. And the number of public information officers telling Placer County's story will be reduced from three to two in mid-December. Yoder, who earned $121,349 in compensation and allowances in 2009 plus $26,798 in benefits, is not being replaced. Robert Miller, whose total compensation including salary and benefits last year was $109,489, and Fitch, whose total compensation was $107,617, will maintain a two-person public information office. Supervisor Jim Holmes said he doesn't begrudge a situation where public information officers are making more than $100,000 a year or top executives paid more than $240,000. But it does "grind on me" that he's an elected official playing a key role in the county and only making $30,000 in total compensation. Voters approved the $30,000 cap 18 years ago because of rapidly escalating salaries for the board approved by supervisors. "But I didn't take this job for the money," Holmes said. "I'm concerned about the costs but I don't begrudge their salaries." Holmes said that, as examples of how hard the county's top executives are working, he's seen Tom Miller coming into work sometimes at 5:30 a.m., and Heinzen working on weekends. Supervisors had looked at several options in reorganizing some of the functions and redistributing responsibilities in the CEO's office after the retirement of Boyle in September. Boyle's departure came nine months after Chief Assistant County Executive Officer Rich Colwell abruptly stepped down from his post late in 2009. Neither positions are being replaced. County pay records for the two public information employees staying on show Fitch earned $82,777 last year and received $24,840 in benefits. His current monthly salary is $6,491. Miller earned $79,889 and received $29,600 in benefits. His monthly salary is also set at $6,491. The county also pays for two other public information specialists. Dena Erwin, with the Placer County Sheriff's Department, and Art Campos, with the county District Attorney's Office also are on the county payroll to provide public information. Erwin's 2009 compensation was $62,351 and benefits totaled $19,448. Her current monthly salary is $5,558. Campos is an independent contractor hired on a part-time basis by the District Attorney's Office. County records show his contract calls for $31 an hour up to a maximum of $20,000 for a one-year agreement. Both Campos and Erwin work out of offices independent of the public information function overseen by Miller. In total, Placer County offices directly paid about $470,000 for public information officers in the last fiscal year. Fred Colburn, a semi-retired business owner in Meadow Vista, described the salaries and total compensation as too much. "It's outrageous," Colburn said. "I'm sure all the government unions are all happy and don't want to tell people in the public sector. I question why this is all going on and hasn't seeped out." Colburn also questioned the need for even two public information officers. "I think three people making that much money is too much, at first glance," he said. "Maybe they only need one and maybe at an ordinary income of $70,000. I'm sure they make more than normal people make." Yoder, Miller and Fitch's offices are centered at the geodesic-domed County Administrative Center in Auburn, also known as The Domes. (Full disclosure: Miller, Fitch and Erwin are former Auburn Journal newsroom employees). Andrew Scott, president of the Placer County Deputy Sheriff's Association, said the public information officer pay is far greater than what a starting deputy sheriff makes. A deputy sheriff I classification pays $4,200 a month. Erwin, who is not a member of the association, has been a county employee for about a decade. "That's quite a disparity," Scott said. "The hourly wage is about 50 percent more than someone who has to have a large body of knowledge and has the responsibility of a lot of authority." Undersheriff Devon Bell said he couldn't comment on the question of disparity but that the Sheriff's Office has the need on a 24-hour-a-day basis for a public information officer. Because the Sheriff's Office functions separately from the CEO's office, it doesn't use that office's public information officers, he said. Tom Miller said the Office of Emergency Services/Community Outreach model approved by supervisors last week is intended to have information generated in a more consistent, timely production mode. The intent isn't to turn information officers into reporters but instead be more like a publisher providing information on a regular, consistent basis. The office is already producing a number of newsletters, including one for the animal control division and the Placer Gold in-house publication for employees, Miller noted. The move to put the public information function with emergency services was sought by staff because the two have worked hand-in-hand in several disaster-related situations involving public safety, Miller added. The vote Nov. 23 was 3-2 to approve the reorganization plan, which divides up several of the functions Colwell and Boyle oversaw. And the decision to continue with one assistant CEO is consistent with counties of similar size. San Luis Obispo County, with a population of 265,000 to Placer's 330,000, also has one assistant CEO. Supervisors Kirk Uhler and Jennifer Montgomery both voted against the CEO's office shuffle for different reasons. Montgomery said she was getting "heartburn" considering a move that would do away with the Board of Supervisors office as a department. Uhler favored a different model he had suggested a month earlier that would have situated the public information office organizationally in the same office as district aides and initially answerable to a yet-to-be-hired principal management analyst. In an interview, Uhler said that the county and the board have been focused on the administrative functions and it has been well-served by staff. Citing the low level of layoffs in Placer County compared with neighboring Sacramento County, Uhler said he would like to see more of a positive message getting out on how well the county is being managed. "You can go next door and see sizable layoffs we have avoided," Uhler said. "As chairman, I want to see greater access to communicating beyond museum tours – not to say they're not important. But as I look at other governments, I would say we get lumped in with everybody else when we've been able to weather the economic storm better than most." ------------ Placer County's public information team Here's a list of Placer County's public information pros over the past year, including total compensation: • Anita Yoder, $148,147* Placer County public information officer • Robert Miller, $109,489* county assistant public information officer • Michael Fitch $107,617* county assistant public information officer • Dena Erwin $81,799* Placer County Sheriff's Office public information officer • Art Campos $20,000** Placer County District Attorney's Office information officer* *Includes all overtime, special pay or allowances paid as well as salary reductions due to mandatory time off in 2009. **Reflects an annual contract at $31 per hour up to a maximum annual amount of $20,000. ~ Source Placer County ----------- CEO salaries Placer County CEO Tom Miller has been aided over the last several years by three assistant executive officers.

text: Home Culture GOP Lawmaker Rips NAACP for Obama Clown Probe U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, who has invited the clown to perform in his state, said it's "silly" for the NAACP to call for a federal probe into the Missouri State Fair incident. By: Lynette Holloway Posted: Aug. 16 2013 9:53 AM 0 Fox News' Sean Hannity (Fox News screenshot) U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman (R.-Texas) said it's "silly" for the Missouri chapter of the NAACP to call for a federal probe into an incident involving a man who wore a mask of President Barack Obama during a controversial performance last weekend at the state fair, Fox News reports. "A rodeo clown is really a nominal thing and it hurt no one," Stockman told FoxNews.com. "They didn't speak out when George Bush was being portrayed as a murderer. To become relevant again, they need to become more of an honest broker and not have contrived anger." Stockman said the NAACP would better serve its constituents by focusing on ways to decrease unemployment among the black community. He also noted that the national civil rights group was silent after a July incident on a Florida bus where three black teens beat a fellow white student. Though Gulfport Police Chief Robert Vincent told Fox News the attack did not appear to be racially motivated, former Florida Rep. Allen West, who is black, chided Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, noting they condemned Florida's laws in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting yet remained mum on the bus attack.

Zeno Clash 2 Walkthrough
Table of Contents
Pt. 4: Getting Gastornis
- Grab the "Sun-Moon Gauntlet" from the hologram . Follow the onscreen commands to test this bad boy out by aiming it at the sun or moon, letting it charge, then firing to create a series of bursts that shoot down in a straight line. Cool!
- Head back up to the platform to take you back to the Outskirts. Head all the way up to the top of the path, then head southwest (under the canopy). When you arrive at the platform, hop on to go to the Family Plaza.
- Head up the long series of stairs to get to the objective marker. Here, you'll have to do battle with some crazy tribal-looking dudes and some Enforcers. Oh, and Dalig, whoever that is. You can test out your new gizmo here, but be quick about aiming it at the sun or moon.
- Grab your pick of a weapon from the boxes over in the corner, too, if you if you want. Head up the set of stairs and follow the bridge around for a Skill Point and some health in the clam.
- Head all the way back down to the platform to take you back to the Outskirts. Head north for the next objective marker on your map (the one to the far left). After you walk past the trees and pass the blue lantern up in the rock to the left, veer off to the left (under the makeshift bridge) to obtain a Skill Point in this little cave.
- You won't be able to get to this objective point yet (where the hieroglyphic hologram thingy is), so head around the rock formation and continue northeast till you reach the platform that will take you to Rath-Bird Fields.
- Head northeast to find your bird-man brother just over the bridge. After your conversation doesn't go so well, you'll have to pick your allies to fight these crazy-looking bird creatures.
- These guys aren't tough, but there's a lot of them, which means you may run out of stamina quickly. It's a wide open area, so move around to open space when you start to get tired or are overwhelmed their attacks. And definitely use your Sun-Moon Gauntlet to help you out.
- After you defeat them, you'll have the option to add your brother, Gastornis, as an ally, but only if you have enough Leadership points. Or you can replace him. Head west to the next platform. When your arrive in front of it, use your Sun-Moon Gauntlet to destroy the shield thing. Step onto the platform to take you to the Coast.

The Career Coach explains what recruiters do for their company or client and how to help them land you a job.
A recruiter's job is to help a specific company find qualified people for open positions or future spots. Making contact with a recruiter is often the first step to getting hired. Here's how candidates can make a great impression with recruiters, whether freelance contract recruiters or in-house staff recruiters.
nvestigate the company before you apply. Know what they need and prepare your marketing materials (résumé, demo reel, reel breakdown and cover letter) to show how your skills can meet their needs. Smaller companies need generalists (people with a wide range of skills), while larger companies use specialists who do one thing extremely well. Familiarize yourself with the company's work and be prepared to tell how you can contribute in your cover letter and interview.
ake it easy for the recruiter to contact you. Label everything with your name, current phone number (and area code) and e-mail address. This information should match on every piece you send. Don't make the recruiter guess which phone number or e-mail address is correct. When any contact info changes, change the labels on the reel and info on your résumé.
olish your presentation. Prepare your marketing materials as if you were a company trying to get a client. A well-prepared presentation will receive a better reception than a reel haphazardly spliced together. Prepare for your interview by making a list of your strengths that will interest your potential employer. Be ready to tell a short story about one of your accomplishments or make specific suggestions or proposals in your interview.
espect the recruiter's time.
- Respond promptly if you are contacted by a recruiter. If you are not available or not interested, let them know. Don't ignore the recruiter's contact.
- Get to your point quickly and find out what you need to know: who's hiring, what are they looking for? Maintain a professional positive attitude.
- Keep recruiters up to date on how to contact you, what you are working on and when you expect to become available.
- Don't ask recruiters to do extra work. Don't expect them to look up your résumé on a Website but do include your web site address on your résumé E-mail your résumé in text format (not jpeg) in the body of the message. That way you can be sure they get it. Make sure the résumé is readable and not in html format or garbled with extra code before you send it. Don't send attachments as many companies don't accept e-mailed attachments.
- If you are responding to an ad, don't delay your application by asking for more info and waiting for a reply from the recruiter -- send your résumé and indicate your availability and how you fulfill the requirements. You can ask for more info when you send in your résumé, but be specific about what further info you want. Make sure your reply includes a readable résumé with all your current contact info.
- If the recruiter asks for a reel or samples send them promptly.
verybody gets paid -- even recruiters, but not by candidates. Some recruiters work in-house, on staff. Independent contract recruiters are also paid by companies to help find the people they need. The recruiter's services are free to job candidates. Since recruiters work for companies, you should not expect them to find you a job. They can be a valuable resource to you in helping you find work, but they don't work for you. When working with independent recruiters, it's okay to work with several at the same time, but let all of them know that you are working with other recruiters as well.
ubmit great work that matches the kind of work the company produces. If the company does photorealistic visual effects, don't send a cartoony reel. Send in only your best work. Recruiters would rather see 15 seconds of top notch, high quality work than a minute of mediocre imagery.
end a thank you to the recruiter if you are hired. If you are working with a contract recruiter, let him/her know what your start date and rate is. Keep in touch with the recruiter when the job is over and send a new résumé. If you accept another job let the recruiter know as soon as possible. Stay in touch with recruiters and send a new résumé every six months or any time you add to your skills, or when any contact info changes. Recruiters can be helpful in finding a job but only if you do your part of the work -- sending them what they need in a timely manner.

Warriors have good draft
Here is the opening to my column about the Warriors' praiseworthy draft: OAKLAND The Warriors had a very good draft without actually having a hell of a draft. Let's put it another way. This was rookie general manager Bob Myers' first draft — along with plenty of help from his friends. Would Myers put his unique stamp on this draft, kaboom — a three-team trade bringing an unbelievable talent to the Warriors? No. But maybe the expectation was misplaced, although… Read More »

The engines didn't fail catastrophically, sending shards of titanium into the fuselage and blowing up the plane, and they survived to give enough power to the electronic system. This enabled the Airbus to keep its fly-by-wire system intact, which enabled Sully to have all of this really crucial assistance in pulling the plane down to land at the right level of descent. Those systems were the combined knowledge of thousands of people, some of them working for the private sector but many of them actually working in government agencies and in NASA, that set up both the technology and the engineering that made it possible for that landing to happen.
As a society, we are like, "Look at the Superman!" or "It's a miracle!" In fact, it precisely wasn't a miracle. It was this long, collaborative network of ideas being shared and improved upon that built that system and enabled that plane to survive. If we don't figure out a way to champion those network successes then we are also missing an important part of the story.
Believing in the peer network is a political orientation, as far as you see it, right?
Yeah. Here is this emerging political philosophy that doesn't readily fit the existing categories that we have. The cliché of the left is that it believes in the power of the state and the government to provide platforms and safety nets for society, and the cliché of the right is that it just believes in the marketplace and wants the government to get out of everybody's way. But if you actually believe in this other thing, the power of the peer network to solve problems, it is hard to figure out which camp you are supposed to belong to. I decided to write this book to attempt to formalize this belief system that I am seeing around me and to give it a name.
What makes a peer network better able to solve our problems than a hierarchy?
Organizations that empower folks further down the chain or try to get rid of the big hierarchal chains and allow decision making to happen on a more local level end up being more adaptive and resilient because there are more minds involved in the problem.
In a peer network, no one is officially in charge. It doesn't have a command hierarchy. It doesn't have a boss. So, all the decisions are somehow made collectively. The control of the system is in the hands of everyone who is a part of it. They are modeled, in many cases, on the success of the Internet, the web and Wikipedia, all of which are peer networks in their architecture.
You want to have diverse perspectives in the network. And there has to be some kind of mechanism, when ideas are shared through the network, for the good ideas to be amplified and for the bad ideas to be weeded out.
[The Web site] Kickstarter, for instance, is a great example of a peer network supporting creative arts with "crowdfunding" techniques. One of the key things about Kickstarter is that less than 50 percent of the projects get funded. That is a sign that it is working, because not every project deserves to be funded. There is a selection pressure there of individuals voting for certain things with their financial support. Good ideas rise to the top and get funding, and ideas that aren't as good don't survive.
You advocate that we should be building more of these networks. Where? In what areas?

May 6, 2016
ATLANTA (AP) _ The sponsor of a law that banned registered sex
offenders from living within one thousand feet of places children
congregate says lawmakers could take up the issue again when they
meet in January.
The state Supreme Court unanimously overturned the law
yesterday, saying it provided practically NO place in Georgia where
a registered sex offender can live.
Representative Jerry Keen of Saint Simons Island said the court
superseded --quote-- ``the will of the people of Georgia.'' He said
that while legislators try to get another bill passed, convicted
felony sex offenders will be able to live near schools, day care
centers or school bus stops.
Lawmakers adopted the law in 2006, calling it crucial to
protecting children from predators.
Civil rights groups had argued the law would render vast
residential areas off-limits to Georgia's roughly eleven thousand
registered sex offenders. They said it could backfire by
encouraging offenders to stop reporting their whereabouts to

- 9:20 AM Spitzer and Beyond: the The NASA IPAC Teacher Archive Research Program (NITARP) (and how you can apply!) - Dr. Luisa Rebull, Spitzer Science Center, Caltech/JPL, Pasadena, CA - The program formerly known as the Spitzer Research Program for Teachers has been expanded to include the use of NASA archives, and is now named the NASA IPAC Teacher Archive Research Program (NITARP Application ). NITARP is a program partnering teams of teachers with a mentor scientist to do research with NASA archives; we're soliciting applications for teachers to conduct research with a teacher team and a mentor scientist. There is also a Cool Wiki with lots of information about using Spitzer data.
- YSOVAR - Dr. Luisa Rebull (from follow up email notes)
- YSOVAR studies the variability of young stellar objects (YSOs). YSOs are known to vary at shorter bands; a small pilot project showed that they do very interesting things at the Spitzer wavelengths as well.
- We can learn a lot from monitoring at just the two IRAC bands, but we can learn even more if we have some simultaneous ground-based observations.
The hitch is that we won't know exactly when our observations are scheduled until about ~6 weeks beforehand. It's hard to make this work out for professional telescopes ... but this is exactly the right project for small telescopes, preferably those remotely operated!
- Attached is a PDF version of a talk given at the last AAS meeting which has an overview of YSOVAR. Our website is http://ysovar.ipac.caltech.edu. We're likely to start getting observations in ~6 weeks or so, maybe a little more.
- PLEASE NOTE that this is a REAL RESEARCH program, e.g., you'll be treated like all the other professional collaborators -- this isn't part of NITARP, there isn't a lot of background information already developed, there isn't a reference I can point you to that isn't a professional research journal article, so you sort of have to walk into this unafraid and willing to get going on your own. But it is exciting! :) :) There is some relevant information on the NITARP wiki, just not particularly optimized for YSOVAR.
- 10:45 Update on NASA Kepler EPO: Animations, Podcasts and Movies; Transit Tracks; Exoplanet Transit Hunt simulation. Alan Gould
- 11:20 Planet X to Z Unwrapping the Solar System, using the Night Sky Network's Worlds of the Solar System: Make a Scale Model. Jeremy Amarant, SAGE Planetarium, Palmdale School District. Fact Sheet. We will use manipulatives to demonstrate the Distance, Size and Mass of the Solar System in 1 hour or less.
THURSDAY 2009 June 25 AFTERNOON
- 1:20 Astronomy Outreach using Python. Marc Berthoud, Vivian Hoette, Yerkes Observatory. Python is an easy to learn new open-source multi-platform programming language. At Yerkes we have developed a set of programming activities related to astronomy and FITS image analysis.
We conducted several of these activities with teachers and students grades 5th and higher, with instructions on the outreach twiki (YaaysVisitor / yaays2008).

The first type of volcano I learned about was composite volcano. Are typically tens of miles across, and tens of thousand feet of height. The next volcano I learned about is the cinder cone volcano. The cinder cone volcano mainly consists almost entirely of loose grainy cinders and almost no lava. Another volcano I learned about was the shield volcano. The shield volcano is type of volcano that can be hundreds of miles across and many tens of thousands of feet high. This volcano is mainly found in Hawaii. The next volcano I learned about is the caldera Volcano. Calderas, which are simply circular depressions that are found in summits of many volcanos. The last volcano I learned about is the fissure volcano. Fissure Volcanos make large cracks in the ground instead of a giant crater like most volcanos.
I also learned about different lava types. The first lava type I learned about is low water/low silica. Low water/low silica is lava that is very thin and runny lava. The next lava I learned about is low water/high silica. One of the most important factors is composition espescially the amount of silica melted in lava results in a thick lava. Another lava type I learned about is high water/low silica. This type of lava (high water/low silica) produces a spectacular "fire fountain" directly over the vent usually resulting in a cinder cone any remaining lava quietly flows away. The last type of lava is high water/high silica. This type of lava causes explosions eruptions at volcanos like Vesuvius and Mt St Helens.

Water Pollution
Water Pollution affects all life living around. It can kill the fish and other life in the water, it can contaminate plants, and limit the water supply for communities. Water pollution is either garbage or natural chemicals or substances that get into the water and make it undrinkable and unable to support
How does Water Become Polluted?
Some sources of water pollution are litter, oil spills,
Factory waste, city sewage waste, ect. You can improve the state of a polluted body of water by picking up garbage, trying to fix the source of it, and cleaning out clearly contaminated water by removing it. To prevent water pollution you can recycle, educate others about prevention, and
Contain harmful liquids like oil.
What are Nitrates?
Nitrate is a natural compound present in all ecosystems, It is essential to plant life but too much can be a problem for plants and animals.
For people, drinking too much nitrate can result in oxygen restriction in the bloodstream. Kids under 2 months cannot have enough enzyme to correct the condition. The max drinking level of nitrate is 10mg
Point and non-point Sources of pollution
A point source of pollution would be something like a
Sewage pipe flowing into a river or something else obvious and easy to fix. A non-point source is less obvious. Like pollutants carried by runoff from a farm field, street, or construction site. Acid rain can also be a non point source. Pollution is absorbed into clouds and then is dumped into water with the rain.
How can we Reduce AND Prevent Nitrate
You can reduce nitrate levels by reducing the amount of fertilizer applied to fields and lawns . Tile drainage systems could be places deeper in the ground thereby reducing the chance of nitrate pollution. Fencing keeps livestock from flattening the vegetation around the cater courses of contaminating the water. When there are high nitrate levels in your water you should first, not drink it or use it. The less that gets in your house or your body the better. Second, warn others in your house or neighborhood about the problem so they don't get sick and can help fix it. Last, you should try to find the source of the pollution like a leaking pipe or another source. If you can't fix it yourself find others to help.
Water is one of the most important parts of our world. All animals and humans rely on it to live in or survive. You should care for it by not polluting and trying to keep our water clean.

The sys admin's daily grind: Terminator
Friend or Foe?
Friends are all about friendship – names and appearances typically don't play any role at all. Sys admin Charly's friend the Terminator is a convincing example.
I work with it almost daily, and we've even spent many nights together: the Terminator. Of course, I don't mean the cyborg character from the movie of that name. The Terminator that I'm talking about is a useful tool for arranging terminals, and I've been using it for some time now as a stand-in for the Gnome shell.
