NYU ITP Students Develop Bioremediating Aquaponics, Hydroponic Furniture and Other Living Systems
Posted By Andrew Carter On January 28, 2011 @ 4:10 pm In Botanical,Design,Gardening and Plants,Green Appliances,Innovation,New York City | No Comments
This past semester the Interactive Telecommunications Graduate Program [1] at NYU's Tisch school conducted its first ever course in living systems, which encouraged students to take on projects related to ecology, environmental data management, and, obviously, living systems. After six months of field trips (including a visit to Inhabitat favorite, The Omega Institute [2]), in-depth discussions, and in most cases, very late nights on computers guided by Open Source Cities' [3] Marc Alt, the results were incredible. From location-based socially networked computer plants, to human breast milk, to moss-shrouded air-quality monitor polygons, the students covered almost every base possible – read on for a look!
Planting Steps [4] is a fully-functional household hydroponic farm composed of 4 modular shelves that create a viable ebb-and-flow hydroponic system for your living room. Waterfalls between tanks provide a meditative aural experience while feeding plants a hydroponic solution periodically throughout the day.
ITPWC [5] developed and constructed a bathroom aquaponic system using the concepts behind John Todd's Eco-Machines to filter pollutants in the bathroom air. Built out of laser-cut plastic and 5 gallon water bottles, the system is divided into 4 cells: aquaculture, phytoremediation, aquatic remediation, and a bio-filter that creates a seemingly closed ecosystem. Dracaena, Boston Fern, and English Ivy absorb chemicals in the air while algae and anaerobic bacteria in other cells break down potential toxic chemicals in the water. Interior air quality is monitored and uploaded in real-time to the open source online environmental sensor database Pachube.com [6].
Numerous groups focused on data analysis, like Crabsense [7], who gathered air quality data inside a hermit crab vivarium, constantly analyzing its chemical makeup and drawing correlations between it and hermit crab activity while simultaneously streaming video from inside of the tank creating a simulated living system experience online. Michael Zick Doherty [8] even built an Android capable interface that allows anyone to connect their homemade sensor device and automatically upload to a global database of environmental data.
ITP has been around for over 30 years and although previous students have shown interest in similar concepts, this is the first time the course has been offered. A complete list of projects and more information on the course can be found here [9].
With shortages in food, clean water supply and air quality issues affect individuals worldwide, developing technologies able to address these global issues is paramount.

NEW: Campus Route adds evening service to Northrock Walmart. http://bit.ly/1UhUpU7
The WSU Shuttle System, launched in August 2013, is a free service to students, faculty, staff and visitors to WSU. It is provided as an alternative to parking on the WSU main campus.
There are two shuttle routes available: The Metroplex Route and the Campus Route.
Metroplex Route
The Metroplex Route has four shuttle buses making 30-minute round trips from the parking lot of WSU's Hughes Metropolitan Complex at 29th Street and Oliver to the main campus. Shuttles are increased during peak travel times. The shuttles will make stops the following locations:
The shuttle buses stop at each of the pick-up locations every eight to 10 minutes. The first bus will leave the Metropolitan Complex at 7 a.m. The last bus will leave the Metropolitan Complex at 10 p.m. and return at 10:30 p.m.
Campus Route
The Housing Route has two shuttle buses making a 30-minute loop of campus begining at Fairmount Towers housing complex just northwest of the main campus. The bus makes stops the following locations:
The shuttle stops at each of the pick-up location every 30 minutes. The bus begins its run from Fairmount Towers at 7:30 a.m. and starts its last full circuit of campus sometime between 9:50-10 p.m.
NOTE: Buses on both routes only run on weekdays when classes are in session. No buses will run on weekends, holidays, when the university is closed for inclement weather or during summer classes.

Rifle Basix makes four trigger models for Ruger M77, M77 MKII and 77/22 model rifles. The #19-825 is a sear upgrade for the older M77 actions with a thumb tang safety. This sear uses the original trigger housing and safety, and makes the factory trigger adjustable from 14 oz. to 2 lbs. Instructions are included. The #19-840 replacement trigger converts original two-stage M77 MKII Varmint/Target Triggers to single-stage operation. This trigger provides a light, smooth pull and adjusts from approximately 8 oz. to 3 lbs. The #19-830 trigger is designed for the M77 MKII rifles which had single-stage triggers originally. Works in right and left hand actions with three position safety, including the new 204 Ruger models. This trigger uses the factory safety and is a 100% drop-in. Adjusts from 14 oz. to 2 lbs., instructions and a hardware package are included. This trigger will not work with the stainless steel varmint/target rifle which has a two-stage trigger. The #19-835 trigger is made for the M77/22 family of rifles. This trigger is also 100% drop-in and uses the factory safety system. Adjustable from 1.5 lbs. to 3 lbs., and includes a hardware package and instructions. This trigger fits 77/22 actions chambered for 17 HM2, 17HMR, 22 LR, 22 WMR, 22 Hornet and 44 Magnum.

Certain G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)and their associated downstream signaling molecules have been localized to the caveolar region of mammalian cells. Interestingly, MCHR-1 has been isolated in fat cells which accumulate caveolin-1 and cholesterol as differentiation occurs. Our hypothesis is that altered MCHR-1 signaling contributes to the pathology of individuals with obesity, due to increases in adipose tissue and caveolae. The first goal of the project addressed the question of MCHR-1 localization to caveolae. To test this, caveolae were isolated via sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation. Fractionation and western blotting confirmed the presence of MCHR-1 within the caveolae. The second aim assessed ligand dependence on MCHR-1 localization. MCH exposure had no effect on receptor localization to caveolae lipid rafts within a ten-minute time course. Pharmacological disruption of caveolae by cholesterol depletion has been shown to enhance MCH-mediated ERK 1/2 activation, suggesting that caveolae may significantly impact the regulation of MCHR-1 signaling in cells.

|PostgreSQL 9.5.2 Documentation
|Chapter 4. SQL Syntax
PostgreSQL allows functions that have named parameters to be called using either positional or named notation. Named notation is especially useful for functions that have a large number of parameters, since it makes the associations between parameters and actual arguments more explicit and reliable. In positional notation, a function call is written with its argument values in the same order as they are defined in the function declaration. In named notation, the arguments are matched to the function parameters by name and can be written in any order.
In either notation, parameters that have default values given in the function declaration need not be written in the call at all. But this is particularly useful in named notation, since any combination of parameters can be omitted; while in positional notation parameters can only be omitted from right to left.
PostgreSQL also supports mixed notation, which combines positional and named notation. In this case, positional parameters are written first and named parameters appear after them.
The following examples will illustrate the usage of all three notations, using the following function definition:
CREATE FUNCTION concat_lower_or_upper(a text, b text, uppercase boolean DEFAULT false) RETURNS text AS $$ SELECT CASE WHEN $3 THEN UPPER($1 || ' ' || $2) ELSE LOWER($1 || ' ' || $2) END; $$ LANGUAGE SQL IMMUTABLE STRICT;
has two mandatory parameters, a and
b. Additionally there is one optional
parameter uppercase which defaults to
false. The a
and b inputs will be concatenated, and
forced to either upper or lower case depending on the uppercase parameter. The remaining details of this
function definition are not important here (see Chapter 35 for more information).
Positional notation is the traditional mechanism for passing arguments to functions in PostgreSQL. An example is:
SELECT concat_lower_or_upper('Hello', 'World', true); concat_lower_or_upper ----------------------- HELLO WORLD (1 row)
All arguments are specified in order. The result is upper case since uppercase is specified as true. Another example is:
SELECT concat_lower_or_upper('Hello', 'World'); concat_lower_or_upper ----------------------- hello world (1 row)
Here, the uppercase parameter is omitted, so it receives its default value of false, resulting in lower case output. In positional notation, arguments can be omitted from right to left so long as they have defaults.
In named notation, each argument's name is specified using => to separate it from the argument expression. For example:
SELECT concat_lower_or_upper(a => 'Hello', b => 'World'); concat_lower_or_upper ----------------------- hello world (1 row)
Again, the argument uppercase was omitted so it is set to false implicitly. One advantage of using named notation is that the arguments may be specified in any order, for example:
SELECT concat_lower_or_upper(a => 'Hello', b => 'World', uppercase => true); concat_lower_or_upper ----------------------- HELLO WORLD (1 row) SELECT concat_lower_or_upper(a => 'Hello', uppercase => true, b => 'World'); concat_lower_or_upper ----------------------- HELLO WORLD (1 row)
An older syntax based on ":=" is supported for backward compatibility:
SELECT concat_lower_or_upper(a := 'Hello', uppercase := true, b := 'World'); concat_lower_or_upper ----------------------- HELLO WORLD (1 row)
The mixed notation combines positional and named notation. However, as already mentioned, named arguments cannot precede positional arguments. For example:
SELECT concat_lower_or_upper('Hello', 'World', uppercase => true); concat_lower_or_upper ----------------------- HELLO WORLD (1 row)
In the above query, the arguments a and b are specified positionally, while uppercase is specified by name. In this example, that adds little except documentation. With a more complex function having numerous parameters that have default values, named or mixed notation can save a great deal of writing and reduce chances for error.
Note: Named and mixed call notations currently cannot be used when calling an aggregate function (but they do work when an aggregate function is used as a window function).

Richards named NHL's second star
OK, snow as we left Buffalo on Saturday and now rain in Florida on the season's only trip to Sunrise this season. Seriously, which weather god did I annoy?
The Rangers left New York immediately after last night's 4-1 win over the Devils and practiced today at the BB&T Center (formerly BankAtlantic Center, Broward County Civic Arena, National Car Rental Center, and Office Depot Center, all since 1998, sheesh), in preparation for tomorrow night's game against the Panthers.
Ryan Callahan was the only Ranger not on the ice today - Derek Dorsett was still in a non-contact jersey and Marc Staal stayed on extra late, so much so that I mentioned to him what a good sweat he had worked up and he said it was a great skate - and the Rangers said the captain had been given a maintenance day. Brian Boyle, who has missed the last three games with what the Rangers are calling a lower-body injury and what is suspected to be a right knee problem, is on the trip and was at the arena, though he did not skate. Boyle appeared to be limping an it looked like he was still wearing a brace under his suit pants. Coach John Tortorella said there were no updates on either Dorsett or Boyle.
As for tomorrow's game, Lundqvist will make his 12th straight star and his 41st of the season. Me talking here, but if the Rangers win tomorrow night, I strongly suspect Marty Biron plays either Thursday at Carolina or Saturday against the Devils. So does Lundqvist.
"Maybe I get a break," Lundqvist said. "I know I'm playing tomorrow."
Lundqvist, of course, has been Vince Vaughn money this month. But, if we're being fair, one of the best signs for the Rangers is that Brad Richards has had three straight good games playing with Mats Zuccarello and Ryane Clowe. And this was after it was legitimately OK to wonder about Richards' mental state after Tuesday's 4-2 loss at Philadelphia, when he was beyond distraught after the game.
Richards was named the NHL's second star of the week. The Jets' Andrew Ladd was the first star and the Sharks' Logan Couture was the third star.
Richards led the League with four goals and tied for second with seven points in four games as the Rangers earned six out of a possible eight points to remain in the top eight in the Eastern Conference. After being held off the scoresheet in a 4-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers April 16, Richards rebounded with a goal and an assist in a 6-1 win over the Florida Panthers April 18. He recorded his first career hat trick,including the game-winning goal, in an 8-4 victory over the Buffalo Sabres April 19. Richards then closed the week by posting two assists in a 4-1triumph over the New Jersey Devils April 21. The 32-year-old Murray Harbour, P.E.I., native has played in 43 games this season and ranks third on the Rangers in both points (30) and assists (20).
"I'm always happy to be part of the NHL, not that I'm not happy, but it's frustrating," Richards said. "With the shortened season, it got to me at times, it was overblown. "When you get something that goes right for you in a game, and you play back to back games where things are right, it gets you the way you should be feeling."
Richards was asked about hitting a proverbial wall, essentially being as low as he could go and then needing to just tell himself he needs to just play.
"You kind of have to," Richards said. "It's hard. You try to get to point where you just say I don't care anymore and just go try to do it, but it's harder to try talk you into it. We've been winning more lately, it makes it easier when you go home. At times we're losing three or four in a row. It makes it harder."

Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare inherited childhood disease that affects the nervous system and other body systems. The effects of A-T usually begin to appear by the age of 5 in a child affected by the disease.
A-T is caused by mutations in a gene on chromosome 11 known as the ATM gene, which is involved in cell cycle control. This neurodegenerative disorder is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion, which means that two mutated ATM genes are necessary to produce the condition--one inherited from each parent. People with only one ATM mutation are referred to as "carriers."
Some studies suggest that people who are carriers of an ATM mutation are at an increased risk to develop breast cancer. It is estimated that about 1% of the U.S. population, or about 2.5 million people, may be carriers for an ATM mutation. This may lead one to believe that many people with breast cancer develop it because of an ATM mutation. When breast cancer patients are studied, however, they do not have an excess of ATM mutations as compared with people without breast cancer. Therefore, the association between ATM mutations and breast cancer risk remains unclear. Studies are being done to better understand this possible link.
Symptoms of A-T can develop in early childhood, but may develop later in adolescence or adulthood. Symptoms may include:
Poor balance and slurred speech
Ataxia (lack of muscle control leading to an awkward gait when walking)
Telangiectasias (tiny, red "spider" veins) in the corners of the eyes or surfaces of the ears and cheeks (soon after the onset of ataxia)
Other symptoms of A-T include:
Weakened immune system
Increased risk of leukemia
Increased risk of lymphoma
Extreme sensitivity to ionizing radiation (for instance, radiation from X-rays)
The symptoms of A-T may look like other conditions or medical problems. A doctor should be consulted for a diagnosis.
There currently is no cure for A-T. It is managed by treating the symptoms and supportive care. Treatment for A-T may include:
Physical therapy
Speech therapy
Genetic counseling for family planning

The Rev. Ronald C. Gustafson came to Macalester following service in Italy during World War II. Here he was president of his class and met and married classmate Merle Bendewald. Influenced by the college's commitment to social service and inspired by the Westminster Fellowship at Macalester, Gustafson earned his divinity degree at McCormick Theological Seminary. For 40 years, he has served in ministry across the Midwest and now in his Arizona retirement community. As moderator of the Presbytery of South Dakota (1973–74), Gustafson's ministry was highly visible, but he is perhaps better known for the kind of quiet leadership that generates innovative solutions to problems, builds community and knits a safety net beneath the most vulnerable.
While serving in Huron, S.D., Gustafson brokered a deal that saved an essential community institution, Huron College. The college was in serious financial difficulty, and he convinced the church to mortgage its own property and give the proceeds to the college. The mortgage was paid, the college served the community for another 30 years, and Gustafson was awarded an honorary doctorate of divinity degree by Huron College for his service to college and community.
"I never met a person who didn't like Pastor Gustafson," wrote Charlie Herrmann '52. "Ron has generated renown as someone who is caring, amenable, friendly, patient and overflowing with Christian kindness."
While serving in Mitchell, S.D., Gustafson took on the delicate work of helping small, financially fragile congregations join together in a stronger, united ministry. Although officially retired, he served in prison ministry in LaCrosse, Wis., works in non-denominational ministry in Arizona and continues to preach wherever he is needed.


text: The distinctive Mughal-style arch and neon roofline of Taste of India exude a thoroughly unique aura, if not a particularly authentic one. And as one of three Indian restaurants on a short stretch of Roosevelt Way (with half a dozen more on nearby University Way), this eatery has to handle menu staples exceptionally well to separate itself from the pack. Luckily for you, they do. Start with an overflowing basket of crispy-edged naan, garlic or spinach-stuffed, and—if the server takes a shine to you—a complimentary vegetarian appetizer. From there, let your stomach be your guide. The menu hosts the usual swath of succulent curries, yogurt-marinated tandooris, and garlicky vindaloos, but they're done better here than just about anywhere in the city. But just because there are no wrong choices doesn't mean there are no right ones, so make sure to give the tender butter chicken a shot. —Nick Feldman 5517 Roosevelt Way N.E., 528-1575

I am doing the Best Buddies charity century coming up Sept. 5th. This will be my first century (farthest I've gone previously is 80 miles). I have to make a choice. I've been riding my current bike a old steel Nishiki which weights about 30 pounds. I'm comfortable on it and race crits and stuff on it. I also do regular 40ish mile rides on it.
However my friend is currently building me a new bike with a felt aluminum frame with some carbon parts (fork ect.). He says it should probably be completed by this weekend.
I'm currently in a debacle over which bike to ride. Because fact is next week I'm very busy so I'll only be able to get maybe one or two rides on the new bike. Although I will have time to get it fit for me by my LBS. I'm wondering which one I should take.
BTW my Nishiki is pretty old, it's from the 80's so it's kinda beat up a little bit so sometimes people will look at me funny. I think it might be kind of weird to show up to the ride because I know some pro teams are going to be there like CSC and T-mobile. But if that is what you guys think I should do I'll show up on it.

Tuesday Jan. 6, 2009
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Denver offensive coordinator Rick Dennison met with team owner Pat Bowlen today after expressing interest in the Broncos' head coaching vacancy. Dennison was a linebacker for the Broncos from 1982-90. He's been on Denver's staff since 1995, serving as special teams coach and then offensive line guru, before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2006.
The Broncos also plan to speak with Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett later today. Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier will interview tomorrow.
The Broncos have already spoken with Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.
Bowlen fired Mike Shanahan last week after the Broncos missed the playoffs for a third straight season.

|Des Moines Register Story a Parrot Job
|Commentary/Politics - Editorials
|Tuesday, 30 January 2001 18:00
The January 27, 2001, Des Moines Register article on both Davenport's and Cedar Rapids' decision to censor "Public with Business" is a great example of how the media can misguide the public. The reporter gave no context for any of the pertinent aspects of the story.
The fact that both cities made a decision to censor their citizens in the very same week is worth investigating, in and of itself. Criticism of citizens for speaking out and offering their opinions, suggestions, and thoughts as they relate to city business as "grandstanding" is indicative of the council's opinion of public input and should be considered next November at the polls, but should not go unchallenged as justification for removing such input from television broadcast. How many incidences of "detracting from the goal of getting community feedback" actually occurred? What is the definition of "community feedback"—information that is benign and non-controversial? How do the comments made by citizens such as Niky Bowles violate any rules of conduct or fall outside the scope of city business? These are the questions that should have been addressed by the reporter. If the Register goes to the trouble of examining our cities for a story about public censorship, it shouldn't be lazy. Investigate the rationale, don't just parrot it.
The reporter for the Register neglected to explain that the reason citizen Bowles was dressed in work clothes (overalls and a straw hat complete with pitchfork) was to emphasize her protest over the city's unwillingness to change her zoning from agricultural to commercial. And if the reporter had bothered to review the tape, it would have revealed many of the councilmen grinning in amusement over her action, including Mayor Yerington, who now holds the incident up as one of his primary excuses for implementing the censorship policy. (This is the very claim the public has made since the censorship was invoked, that its purpose was to silence a single individual that the council objected to at the expense of the rest of the community's residents.)
Thankfully, the Mayor appears to be rethinking his position on the council's censorship policy. I believe he is learning the sad truth that certain devious city and business leaders have been orchestrating the politics surrounding this highly controversial subject to pierce his once invincible armor of popularity with the people of Davenport. There are already rumors of Alderman Sherwood considering running for mayor, and Alderman Caldwell has announced that he is running for alderman-at-large. These are politically motivated maneuvers that could potentially undermine Yerington's position. I still maintain that there has been no greater advocate for the people of Davenport and for open government than Phil Yerington. He has been called "the people's mayor" for good reason. But the mayor, councilmen, and city staff have been united under the umbrella of disdain for Niky Bowles and her continuous efforts to expose the city's dirty laundry. Most leaders would have gotten hip by now. She isn't going away, and she is smart enough to find the hidden heaps.
Furthermore, no one is under any illusions about her self-serving purpose—to get her zoning, sell her property, and move to a sunnier climate. So the savvy thing to do, as long as it is in keeping with citywide goals and parameters, would be to help the lady along and wish her bon voyage. But this council is too angry and views such cooperation as somehow giving in. Their egos are clearly in the way of what is best for the community. There are so many restrictions on the zoning Bowles is requesting that there is no logical reason for denying it to her.
Unfortunately, the problem has reached epidemic proportions when it causes the censorship of an entire city. The community needs to insist on getting this situation resolved and behind us. Resolution requires leadership skills, which means action (versus reaction) without emotion, constructive business rationale, and the ability to overcome egos against the maelstrom of contempt evident in Bowles countenance. Bowles also needs to check her own anger at the door and proceed under the same attitude of amicably resolving the situation. She has taken the first step by re-applying for commercial zoning through the Planning & Zoning Commission, which comes up in early February. Let's demand that our councilmen and city staff behave like businessmen rather than schoolyard children.
City Department Heads Deserve Performance Evaluations
On a more rare, but positive note, my congratulations to the QC Times, Tom Saul in particular, for the important and comprehensive report on the lack of reviews over the past decade for most of our Davenport city department heads. This could very well be one of the most important stories of the year, not to mention at the root of some of the more serious dysfunctions within city hall.
Not only is the lack of reviews important in terms of accountability and for achieving performance standards and goals, but also for rewarding those who outperform or exceed expectations. It works both ways. Certainly Ms. Runge's insistence on annual reviews speaks well for her own confidence in her ability to do her job (further evidenced by her departure to a higher-paying position in Des Moines, an occasion to congratulate her on, but also to lament our own substantial loss), as well as provides inspiration as to why reviews are so important. Otherwise, one gets the sense that the fox is watching the hen house. Imagine your own place of employment or business. By not providing a means of accountability, how are performance standards even established, let alone met? How can innovation occur? How can new technologies be appropriately implemented? How can departmental needs be properly assessed in terms of manpower, equipment, and funding? How are goals of the department set and how are they communicated throughout? How does one department head interact and perform in terms of the team? How can crossovers in terms of duties, tasks, and efficiencies by doing things differently be identified? How can the current, established protocol be improved upon? The list is endless for synchronizing operations, and for taxpayers to achieve the most bang for their buck.
Today's feature story about the storm-water-management permit application is a good example of lack of communication and the resulting waste that can occur. Taxpayers paid approximately $300,000 to submit this application nearly a decade ago, and for what? It isn't even being considered because the Iowa State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has determined that Davenport used the wrong census information. Why was this not communicated to us? Why did the city not follow up on the application sooner? Why did we use the wrong census? Can an argument be made for our current application to be considered instead of having to resubmit and repeat the whole process? It seems the DNR disagrees with our position as a Phase I applicant. How could this be misinterpreted in the first place? Why wasn't our city notified of the discrepancy by the DNR? In fact, Davenport was told in 1997 that the application would be reviewed "soon, " with no mention of a problem with census information. Who should be accountable for this serious problem, because now Davenport is frighteningly behind the curve with respect to the federal mandate for a storm water management system to be implemented by 2008? The permit application has languished at the state and now it appears we will have to resubmit an entirely new application—at what cost this time?
This is just one situation that should emphasize the necessity for oversight of department heads within the structure and hierarchy of our local government. The number-one priority of hired consultant Sy Murray should be to help the council identify performance criteria and to establish a non-negotiable, annual evaluation process so that we can attract highly qualified professionals, can-do people (which we may already have, but we have no way of determining such) who will help Davenport become a top-tier city in Iowa. This is critical if we want to reach such a lofty, but eminently achievable goal.

T.R.A.M. (New Band Featuring Members Of Animals As Leaders, The Mars Volta, ST)
Adrian Terrazas - Saxophone, Flute, Bass Clarinet, Percussion
Javier Reyes - Guitar
Tosin Abasi - Guitar
Eric Moore - Drums
It's extremely rare to come across a new band that just flips the script of conventionality throwing caution to the wind, but the debut effort from T.R.A.M. does just that while blazing a trail of creativity that will quickly turn heads across the world. This unit will be referred to by many as a supergroup, however the members of this dynamic unit aren't in this for any reason but to use it as a platform to further express their art without limitations or any preconceived notions.
T.R.A.M. is comprised of such renowned musically proficient artists as Adrian Terrazas (The Mars Volta) on saxophone, flute, bass clarinet and percussion, Javier Reyes (Animals As Leaders) on guitars, Tosin Abasi (Animals As Leaders) on guitars and Eric Moore (Suicidal Tendencies) on drums. This is a group of likeminded individuals that are naturally gifted and the collaboration of their unique talents results in something truly amazing. Their much anticipated debut album, Lingua Franca, is set for a May release through Sumerian Records.
Terrazas states: Tosin Abasi and I were originally introduced by a mutual friend, Raanen Bozzio, last summer. This meeting also served as my first introduction to Animals As Leaders and Javier Reyes. Since then, Abasi, Reyes and I have developed a great relationship. We got together almost every day to try out ideas and after a month we had already formulated a majority of the record. At this point we contacted Eric Moore, an incredible drummer and the most joyful person to be around, and soon everything we had envisioned rhythmically came together on our fist meeting/recording session (at the Farias productions studios) on what is now T.R.A.M.
I never know how people will respond to our music, I just never know! My goal is to try to instill a strong feeling or energy in people and I feel that collectively we achieved this goal tenfold with this new project. We all have a great enthusiasm and desire to perform this material live and see this band further develop. We look forward to hearing what you all think of it.
I can't wait for these guys to put out some music. :drool::drool::drool:
Holy shit! I remember Sumerian making a comment on some facebook thread last month that said this would happen, but everyone thought it was a joke. This is awesome!
This will probably be pretty damn awesome.
This sounds hip. I'll probably check it out.
thats an obnoxious press release

Authorities say a student shot himself in the head at a Louisiana middle school after he fired at a teacher and missed.
Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre says the 15-year-old student fired one shot Monday inside a classroom at Larose-Cut Off Middle School. He then went into a bathroom and shot himself.
Sgt. Lesley Peters, a sheriff's spokeswoman, says the student is in critical condition at a hospital in nearby Galliano. His name has not been released.
Webre says the school about 45 miles southwest of New Orleans has been locked down. He says the students were being taken to a nearby VFW hall. The shooting is still under investigation

in The potting shed
I went to the hardware shop today and asked for a new fork handle and he gave me 4 candles why is this?
Was it the same shop that sold you letter O's when you wanted garden 'ose?
It was the same shop, but I just thought that that time he was trying to save me from a hefty fine.
I need some candles can we do a swop?
I may have mentioned I have been on hols-every morning they turn the sprinklers on to water the grass but get over 300 days of sunshine per year-mind you the country is going broke but green grass is better to them than greenbacks.
I used to think that pesetas was Spanish for potatoes
Geoff what is spanish for potatoes??
England are 1-0 up, if Englebert wins Eurovision could be a glorious night
Jo I am keeping my candles unless you have a weather vane?
el chips
There is something wrong with my TV-it keeps picking up some foreign music show-who should I contact?
So is Woy the new Messiah?
I hope you are not admitting to watching Eurovision, there is a support group
England have a great record in friendlies it is just important games that we lose.
I am not watching it but someone is-I just happen to be in the same room -now some Norwegians are singing in English-why don't we get songs sung in Norwegian?
Will Pudsey put in appearance?
Pudsey is in hollywood.
Maybe you could suggest to "Cheryl" that she sings her next song in Norwegian, it would be an improvement.
I read in the paper today that a "source" close to Cheryl has revealed she will be singing for the Queen next week-Jedward for Ireland soon-how gutted John must be that he only gets the J not the Edward bit.
Will Sandie Shaw put in an appearance?
But the J comes first.
Do you think the Queen has a discreet i-pod?
Sandy is too busy watching the footy.
Mrs Grimes must be very proud of her 2 little boys.
Queenie probably has a manservant who sings songs to her at and shuffles randomly at the same time.
The Good Lady does have an i-pod,. Harry bought Her one for Christmas..Unfortunately were not in the euros, again,but will be supporting England.Good Luck
I had the image of the queen listening to opera as "Cheryl" sings , in the privacy of her own home she probably has a small choir follow her around.
I wonder how Jedwards brother feels
Edentoy are you welsh?
Jedward according to Wiki were worth 4.5million at April2012-where did it all go wrong?
England won
Loius always saw the potential, I wonder what his cut is?
I have cherry ice cream
sotongeoff-Simon laughed,Danni sat back in shock, Louis chuckled, " ill have some of that" and Jedward went straight to the bank, and we are worried about our plants.....................kate1123 Im from Northern Ireland

Craft's thesis will aid in establishing the locations and functions of different buildings that were historically documented at the site but have not been successfully relocated.
Jon DeMent
Jon's thesis research is using GIS to georeference late 19th century maps of pre-contact mound sites around Lake Mille Lacs in east-central Minnesota and will then ground truth the modeled locations, many of which have not been revisited over the last 100 years. Jon is working closely with the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Cultural Resources Office as part of this research.
Austin Jenkins
Austin's thesis research is using GIS to correlate a number of natural and cultural geographic variables with Woodland site distributions for Cass County, MN. His variables include subsistence resources as well as humanly made features such as historic trails.
Andrew Kurth
Andrew's thesis research is focused on determining the site function of a Paleoindian occupation at the AJM site on Knife Lake, Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. He is using multiple analytic approaches, including high-magnification microwear analysis, to determine tool manufacture and use strategies.
Lindsay Marshall
Lindsay's thesis research focuses on evaluating the correlation between early Euro-American ethnic identity and architectural traditions for 19th century log cabin construction in Carver County, MN. Her data indicate that although non-tangible elements of immigrant culture such as language were preserved over time, unique architectural elements were lost.
Mathew Mattson
Matt's thesis research focuses on analyzing gunflints and percussion caps at the Fur Trade era Horseshoe Bay site in Cass County, MN. He will use these data to establish a chronology for occupation of the site as well as examining the socio-economic relationships between European traders and Native American communities.
Michael McQuin
Michael's thesis research will reconstruct the paleoenvironmental context for the Paleoindian Burghduff site in Harding County, South Dakota. Michael is analyzing phytolith samples from deposits preceding, contemporary with, and post-dating the two episodes of human occupation, as well as a sample from a cultural feature dating to the older occupation level.
Jennifer Norman
Jennifer's thesis research evaluates the effects of tree throw on archaeological sites in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, Superior National Forest. Her study examines the site formation processes involved in tree throw and how this might affect our understanding of sites in similar settings.
Tyler Olsen

Spoofing a Traffic Camera on a Longboard
Not only is it played to a great song, this video is a great example of how daring these extreme skaters, in this case long boarders, can be. In this video, the South African skateboarder Decio Lourenco is going so fast down a public road that he sets off a speed camera--the speed limit was about 35 miles an hour and he was going almost 70! Anyway, enjoy the video and then contemplate how you spent your day.

AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. (WRDW) -- South Carolina Highway Patrol says two drivers were taken to the hospital after an accident on Beaver Dam Road Saturday night.
South Carolina Highway patrol says Jeffrey Clark was driving a Ford SUV when he was traveling on Secondary 29 and Lane Cook was driving a Dodge Pick-up truck traveling east on Beaver Dam Road. They say Cook made an improper start from the stop sign at the intersection and caused Clark to collide with him.
South Carolina Highway Patrol says Cook then ran off the road into a power pole. Officials say Cook is the driver at fault and was cited but it's unclear what he was cited for at this time. Clark was not wearing a seat belt.
Officials say the accident happened around 9 p.m. on Saturday.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Columbus is cooler than Ann Arbor, but not as cool as Cleveland, according to one Top 10 list.
MSN.com is ranking the city as one of the Ten Coolest Cities in the Midwest, citing eclectic neighborhoods, low cost of living, growing multicultural population and rising restaurant scene.
Columbus was third on the list, behind top-ranked Chicago and No. 2 Cleveland.
The website referred to Columbus as Ohio's "style mecca," as the home of The Limited and Abercrombie & Fitch.
Kansas City and Milwaukee rounded out the top five; Ann Arbor was No. 6.
St. Louis, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Madison, Wisc., also made the list.

This is the story of Compudites and Internedes great gods of knowledge and communication. It is a story of their love for each other. It is a story of their betrayal at the hands of Hermes the messenger. It is a story of Internedes' destruction at the hands of Zeus. And it is a story of how, with the help of Athena, Compudites was able to be together with Internedes once more. It is the story of how and why humanity got one of the greatest resources ever known the internet.
Compudites was a kind and gentle god, frail and limited in power, but boundless in intellect a patron of sciences, mathematics, and technology. He was the guiding hand behind many of humanity's technological breakthroughs throughout the millennia. But just as technology and discoveries in the maths and sciences depend on others to spread them, Compudites was forever dependent on others to spread his knowledge. Hermes the messenger was one, swift like the wind, he helped carry messages between the gods, and bring Compudites' knowledge down to the mortals. But Hermes was not always the main god responsible for this task. For you see, another god about which the world has forgotten existed back then Internedes, a powerful god of communication and information. While Hermes was swift, he was but an apprentice of Internedes, a god who at will could take information instantly across the world. Internedes was a god dedicated to his task, almost always at work carrying information to and fro.
Internedes and Compudites loved each other, and they would often play games of seeding ideas around the world Compudites would think of a great improvement upon what humanity had accomplished so far, and Internedes would fly the information to the mind of a mortal, passing it on to their muses, somewhere in the world. But Internedes could not always be with Compudites. His job required him to constantly be moving about the world, spreading knowledge and messages on his way. Compudites, being very small and limited, could only stay in one place and thus was very lonely. Hermes often visited Compudites in his spare time. Like Internedes, Hermes was also fond of Compudites, but although Compudites always showed kindness towards him, it was never enough affection for Hermes. Hermes grew envious of Internedes, of his power and speed, and his relationship with Compudites. He wanted Compudites all for himself. Hermes brooded on this envy, growing more hateful of Internedes by the day.
One day, Hermes devised a plan. He rushed to Zeus, and told Zeus many lies about Internedes. "That Internedes, I always hear him saying disrespectful things of your rule", Hermes said to Zeus. Zeus was angered, and wished to speak to Internedes about his insolence. But Hermes spoke "Internedes is crafty and sly, great Zeus, he is planning to ambush you when you go to speak with him he has had his eye on your throne for years, and you must not give him the opportunity to attack you". Zeus was outraged, but believed Internedes would never have the capacity to defeat him. But Hermes warned "He is fast, great Zeus, fast almost as your lightning bolts you are powerful, but if he knows you are to attack, he will evade all your blows and you will be unable to stop him". Zeus agreed that this was true. "But," said Hermes, "there is a way you could defeat him before he makes his move against you." Intrigued, Zeus listened to Hermes as Hermes told him of one predictable weakness of Internedes: he loved Compudites, and whenever he had the spare time, would go to visit him.
So Zeus grabbed his lightning bolts and went to a mountaintop next to the home of Compudites, to wait for Internedes' passing. He saw Internedes as he was returning to Compudites, and rained down his lightning bolts upon him. Internedes was struck many times, his body was cut to pieces by the lightning bolts and the pieces scattered across the Earth, never to be put back together again. Zeus looked upon the result and declared that Internedes was no longer a part of the pantheon.
Hermes was awarded the position of messenger god. He ran to Compudites to inform him of his promotion, and that Internedes was a traitor and had been destroyed and scattered across the Earth accordingly. Compudites, however, was devastated by the news. Hermes had hoped for congratulations, and that Compudites would love him as he once loved Internedes. Instead, Compudites was horribly upset about the loss of Internedes. Hermes was hurt and angry that Compudites still refused his love and left him. Compudites wept for three days and three nights, and in his grief, innovation and new ideas no longer flowed from him to the muses of wise men and women, to artists or engineers. Athena, as the goddess of wisdom, was most acutely aware of this change, and greatly disturbed by it. She went to Zeus, confused as to why he cast out Internedes. Upon questioning Zeus, he explained that "The poor fool was attempting to take my power, my throne. I struck him down before he could try." Athena, quite outraged at this reason replied, "That is not true, Internedes has never had any desire for being king. He was happy where he was, spreading knowledge and being with Compudites." So Zeus in turn replied, "Even if what you say is true, the deed is done. Even I cannot put him back together. Besides, we have Hermes to be our messenger now." Athena was displeased. "Hermes, was he not the one who told you those lies about Internedes intentions to begin with?" Zeus, however, was done with the conversation. He had more important things to deal with than those petty issues.
Athena, angry at Zeus' unwillingness to help, decided to take matters into her own hands. She waited for a moment when Compudites would be alone and came to him, spoke to him about his sorrow and how it might be alleviated. Compudites insisted that all was lost as the new head courier of information, Hermes had already begun to censor accounts and ideas being passed around the world, replacing mentions of Internedes with himself. To this day, knowledge of Internedes is a rare, exquisite find, and this is why all modern myths record Hermes, and not Internedes, as the messenger god.
But Athena saw that the fragments of Internedes body still had life in them, and thought of how she could help Compudites. "There is yet a way that you could be together with Internedes, and that you could restore Internedes to his rightful place as the foremost messenger in the world," she said to Compudites. Compudites eagerly listened to Athena's plan. "The fragments of his body," Athena explained, "have landed over the world like an intricate web the only thing missing, is something to connect the lines of that web together." When she was done, he began to prepare. Meanwhile Athena went down to Earth, found one of Internedes' ears, and spoke to his ear about the plan. Internedes understood, and was filled with joy and gratitude for Athena. Thus when it came time to enact the plan, Compudites went to the same mountaintop from which Zeus had destroyed Internedes, and cast himself down. Upon hitting the ground, he too shattered and scattered across the Earth. Athena then went around the globe, repositioning the pieces of Compudites so that they would correctly connect with those of Internedes. Across the entire world, the pieces of Internedes and Compudites interconnected, becoming a great world-wide network. The pieces of Internedes fulfilled the task of passing information along to other pieces, and the pieces of Compudites began to serve as access and storage areas for the information being passed around.
And so it was that Internedes and Compudites became the internet and computers. To this day, they are forever together, always playing their game of Compudites inventing information and Internedes passing it along to other people to find and learn from. While Hermes did successfully get Internedes rejected from the pantheon and rewritten history to suggest that Hermes has always been the swift and capable messenger god, humanity accepted Internedes with open arms. Hermes' selfish bid to destroy Internedes in order to be with Compudites and to become the best messenger merely distanced him from Compudites, and failed to prevent Internedes from being able to spread information far faster than Hermes could ever hope to.
Since that fateful time in history, Internedes and Compudites have continued to serve humanity, allowing people everywhere to have near instantaneous communication. So whenever you contemplate a data packet hitting your network ports, use a computer or connect to the internet, remember to say thanks to Internedes and Compudites, two great gods of which the legends don't talk, who gave their lives to be eternally together and who every day give their bodies for humanity's benefit.

The Origin of the Internet by =wondering-souls manages to retain the feel of ancient mythology while incorporating modern elements, says the suggester, and that couldn't describe this essay more accurately, which reads like a classical myth with very fun contemporary and mythological comparisons.

A 'Home Coming' rose
A rose goes to the contributors and volunteers of Homes for Our Troops, a nonprofit that broke ground last week in Temecula on a mortgage-free house for Army Staff Sgt. Wallace Fanene. The Winchester native lost part of his arm and leg in a 2007 attack using an improvised explosive device in Iraq.
It's been a long way back for Fanene, his wife, Scarlet, and their two young children. The gift from Homes for Our Troops will have special features to make the house fully accessible to this hero.
A 'Families First' rose
A rose goes to the Temecula Valley Unified School District board, which listened to parents and students, and decided not to move graduation dates.
After California's Proposition 30 tax hike passed, the board and the teachers union added six days back to the school calendar in the district. Traditionally, high school graduations fall on the final two days of the school year. With the added days, the temptation was to move the graduations back a week.
But that would have ruined travel and other plans for graduating seniors and their families, who told the board about grandparents coming from England, and a parent coming from Peru.
Thankfully, the board bent. The gift to teachers unions of taking away instruction days instead of cutting salaries was an outrage, and there was no good reason that reversing bad policy should punish students, who have been punished enough by budget shenanigans.
A 'Market Diplomacy' rose
A rose goes to Temecula Mayor Mike Naggar, Councilman Ron Roberts and Gale Cunningham, who operates the Old Town farmers market.
The three sat down with merchants and market vendors to hammer out a sensible set of new rules that serve vendors, customers and nearby brick-and-mortar merchants. From now on, people selling imported trinkets and other mass-produced items that threatened to turn the market into a swap meet won't be allowed at the weekly market.

The Nimbus (registry BP-1729) is the flagship of the Democratic Order Of Planets star fleet, and has often been involved in various examples of galactic warfare and other governmental matters. Under the command of 25-Star General Zapp Brannigan, with Lieutenant Kif Kroker as his second in command, the Nimbus has been damaged by enemy forces on several occasions, but each time the ship has been rebuilt in time for Brannigan to lead it to unnecessary danger.
Tactical Laser
- The Nimbus has a tactical laser mounted on the crest on its "forehead"to make delicate cuts, which has three settings: STUN, KILL, and HYPERDEATH™. During the ceremonial opening of new the DOOP headquarters, Zapp accidentally used this laser on Hyperdeath setting to cut the space station in two, for which he was briefly kicked out of the Democratic Order of Planets (DOOP).
Spike lasers
- The Nimbus's primary weapon seems to be its laser cannons mounted on the front of the two forward facing spikes. It has at least enough power to cripple the Planet Express and can fire off axis.
Point Defense laser
- The Nimbus also has at least one rapid firing point-defense laser cannon.
Homing missiles
- The Nimbus has been seen firing conventional, seeking missiles at the Planet Express ship.
Universe-To-Universe Missile
- The ship's most powerful missile, the Universe-To-Universe Missile (UUM) is capable of destroying an entire universe.
Locations and Features
- The main location for happenings on the ship.
- A recreation area for the crew of the Nimbus, the Holo-shed seems to regularly malfunction, causing the holograms to come to life.
- Zapp Brannigan's quarters, which he has dubbed the Lovenasium, is garishly decorated in velour and contain a hovering heart-shaped bed. Zapp has placed paintings and statues of himself, such as a portrait hanging over his bed, of Zapp in a pose mocking Aaron Shikler's posthumous portrait of John F. Kennedy.
- Where the crew of the Nimbus eat and socialize.
Sick Bay and Horta Burn Clinic
- Where troops are treated medically by a doctor who looks similar to Dr. Leonard "Bones" Mc
- Coy from Star Trek, and is named "Veins" as revealed in a deleted scene.
- Where Kif finds out that he is pregnant in the episode "Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch "
- The Nimbus is a large capital ship with its own hangar and many levels, however its exact size is ambiguous. The scale of the ship appears to change, even in the same episode.
- The Nimbus features a trap door which was used by Zapp to dump soldiers onto the surface of Spheron I.
- A stowaway hatch for unauthorized personnel.
- A lint trap.
- The Nimbus is a parody of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 from Star Trek: The Original Series and the USS Enterprise D from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The white hull color, rotating nacelle at the rear, appearance of a Dr. McCoy-like doctor in the ship's sickbay and the presence of a holodeck-like system all serve to reinforce this fact.
- The name Nimbus is a reference to the planet Nimbus III in "Star Trek V: The final frontier", possibly the worst movie in the entire ST saga, which was, incidentally, directed by William Shatner.
- Love's Labours Lost in Space
- When Aliens Attack
- Brannigan, Begin Again
- War is the H-Word
- Amazon Women in the Mood
- Where the Buggalo Roam
- Kif Gets Knocked Up A Notch
- A Taste of Freedom

Eve is the hottest chick in the WWE, with Maryse running a close second.
Something with that face, I still think she's very attractive and looks good but I think Taskmasters hit it with the wonder woman comparison.

Wilshire Bancorp Inc. Stock Upgraded (WIBC)
TheStreet) -- Wilshire Bancorp (Nasdaq: WIBC) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from sell to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its compelling growth in net income, expanding profit margins and impressive record of earnings per share growth. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the stock has had a generally disappointing performance in the past year. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
-- Written by a member of TheStreet RatingsStaff
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Commercial Banks industry. The net income increased by 132.1% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$51.19 million to $16.45 million.
- The gross profit margin for WILSHIRE BANCORP INC is currently very high, coming in at 86.50%. It has increased significantly from the same period last year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 46.20% significantly outperformed against the industry average.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Commercial Banks industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, WILSHIRE BANCORP INC has outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.
- WIBC has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 8.35% from its price level of one year ago. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
