Hyperlinking is a pretty fun thing! You can link to your favorite sites like this: Miniclip or just pasting the address and letting the blog create the hyperlink like this: http://www.miniclip.com.
But be careful, links might not always take you to where they say they will: Google

In class today we watched two videos by technology magician Marco Tempest: Augmented Reality, Techno Magic <http://www.ted.com/talks/marco_tempest_the_augmented_reality_of_techno_magic.html> and The Magic of truth and lies (and iPods) <http://www.ted.com/talks/marco_tempest_the_magic_of_truth_and_lies_on_ipods.html>
After watching these two videos, we want you to write about your opinion regarding the videos. Do you think magic should be part of technology? Should technology be part of magic? What are your thoughts?

More than anything else, blogging gives you an opportunity to express yourself in your writing. Not everyone loves writing....including me!....but it is an essential component to expressing your thoughts, sharing ideas, and analyzing arguments.
Feel free to publish about any topic you wish, but be sure to always check the "L.A.R.K.-ness" of your post.

In light of the devastation on the island of Japan, it's important to think about what we all can do to help keep ourselves and our communities safe before, during, and after a natural disaster. The following game will help you think through this process:

Mr. Luehmann shared with me that you were studying bacteria and viruses in science class. There are a lot of different ways to show what you've been learning, but I'd like to challenge your searching and evaluation skills a little. We will be working on a short project over the next three class periods.
1. Using the "filetype:" search option in Google, find PowerPoint files posted on the Internet that teach or present informaiton about bacteria and viruses.
2. Actively find, view, and evaluate a minimum of three presentations.
3. Compare, contast, and evaluate the presentation slides to determine which presentation in your opinion is the best presentation for helping someone to learn the basics about bacteria and viruses.
4. Write a blog article linking to the presentation you thought was the best, while including a summary of your comparing, contrasting, and thinking behind why you chose the presentation you did.
5. Things you will want to include in your article: a link to the presentation and some type of image reflecting the topic of the article.
Note: I'm not requiring a Venn Diagram or other graphic organizer for taking notes. Comparing, contrasting, and evaluating are pretty "brain-heavy" activities and you'll remember what you've done later better if you've taken SOME type of notes. It is up to you to decide which note-taking strategy works best for you.
Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
Before requesting publishing on the article, in the drop down menu marked "Assignments," please choose "Bacteria Blog."

So do you remember Google Earth (G.E.)? Some of you may have fond memories of using it to create informative and pleasant looking placemarks. While others of you may want to forget the sad thoughts of losing and redoing hours of work in unsaved folders of mishandled KML files!
Either way you look at it, Google Earth is a powerful tool and is by far one of the best programs that helps connect knowledge and infomation to geographic location.
Here is a link to the Google Earth Blog, please read the latest article regarding the use of a tricycle to capture "street view" type images inside of places. Here is what I'd like you to DO:
1. Read the blog article about how Google is using a tricycle to get "Street-View" images inside of famous places. Feel free to follow the hyperlinks and even take five minutes to open G.E. and see what is new (don't get lost in there, you have more to do!). Clicking the "KML" links will download the placemarks and street view of those locations.
2. Write a blog article regarding your thoughts about what you just read. Include your opinion about other places you think Google should use the "trike" to get street view images. Also include in your article what you think is really good about doing using something like street view. On the opposite end, what do you think could be bad about Google taking images of the whole world?
3. Using GaggleTube, embed a video overview of street view and how it works. (Something like this)
4. Be sure to include tags at the bottom of you blog article.
I look forward to hearing your opinions!
Quick reminder: Remember how annoying it was to read other students blogs that didn't make sense, because it looked like they were just completing and assignment for their teacher? Wouldn't the article have made more sense if the person writing it wrote it with the understanding that the reader likely doesn't know what the assignment is! That is what you should. Write your article with the idea that a person who reads it, doesn't necessarily know the context of WHY you are writing it. Please include in your writing enough background information so your reader isn't lost! Thanks!

Hey 7th Grade Bloggers! Just so you know, since I started requiring you to have one blog a week, I figured it would be important for me to be blogging to. If you want, check out
. I usually write about helping teachers and students use technology. Most recently, I've been writing about how to motivate teachers to be life-long learners. Something you wouldn't think you'd have to teach teachers!
My articles, most likely, will not be on interest to you, but at least you know that I'm there writing along side of you!
Keep writing. Perfect practice makes perfect! Don't forget the Spelling and appropriate grammer still count in the "real" world!!!!

Some of you may have noticed a change in our students' blogging behavior. In previous years, I would give the students a topic to blog about and they would be responsible for writing a response to it.
That didn't work out so well!
Most of the posts were short, unthoughtful, and down-right not interesting to read. So this year we've decided to have students blog about what they enjoy...with an occasional "have-to" blog article :-)
Check back often and comment as much as you'd like!

AIKEN, S.C. --- Tonight, South Carolina finds itself with the 2nd highest unemployment rate at 10.4 percent in the country. That's got a lot of people frustrated but they're out there looking for those jobs.
Every generation is filling out applications standing in line at the Aiken One Stop Office.
"I rather be elsewhere doing something totally different," says Muriel Fitzgibbon.
"It's been hard going from place to place they are not hiring," says Rashad Odom.
The common link between those two and others, they are all looking for a job and some people like mom Markesha Cullum have been looking for a long time.
"It's crazy there are so many people here and the wait is so long," says Cullum.
There's good reason for it too. South Carolina's January unemployment rate is 10.4%, up from 8.8% in December.
"I can believe it but I think it's more," says Cullum. "I think it's higher."
"It makes me want to find a job even more, even more," says Odom.
"I think we haven't seen the summit yet," says Fitzgibbon.
But, there is some hope. Fingers are crossed some of President Barack Obama's stimulus money for SRS will soon mean 3,000 new jobs there.
The downside, Governor Mark Sanford decided on Wednesday to ask The White House to allow him to use nearly $700 million from the stimulus for the state's debt, not saving or creating jobs.
"It doesn't make sense to spend money that we don't have," says Gov. Sanford.
Back at the unemployment office, Markesha hits the computers, knowing that she simply cannot give up. "I don't like to be here," she says. "If I can avoid it, I would. But, I have to pay my bills."
South Carolina is getting $2.8 billion from the stimulus bill, but Gov. Sanford only has control over $700 million. This all comes as the South Carolina House passed the plan for next years' budget to use $1 billion from the stimulus bill for part of their $6.6 billion budget for things like education and healthcare.

Western States Help Home Prices Rise 10.2% in February
TheStreet) -- Home prices rose 10.2% in February on a year-on-year basis, the biggest annual increase since March 2006, according to the latest report from CoreLogic. CoreLogic's Home Price Index, which includes distressed sales, rose 0.5% in February over January 2013, marking its 12th consecutive monthly increase.Excluding distressed sales, which includes foreclosure sales and short sales that sell at a deep discount to the market, home prices rose 10.1% in February on a year-on-year basis and 1.5% on a month-on-month basis. CoreLogic's Pending Home Price Index, which is a leading indicator, shows March 2013 home prices including distressed sales are poised to rise another 10.2% on a year-on-year basis and 1.2% on a month-on-month basis. Home prices have been rising sharply nationwide on the back of a shortage of housing inventory and resurgent demand. The tight inventory situation has been so acute that many analysts have raised their home price forecasts for 2013. Noted housing analyst Ivy Zelman, who called both the housing peak and the bottom, now predicts home prices will rise 9% in 2013, sharply up from her earlier forecast of 5%. The analyst says this is the most bullish she has been on housing in her career and that "you will kick yourself if you don't buy a home now." Of the top 100 core-based statistical areas measured by population, 96 were showing year-over-year increases in February, up from 94 in January. Still, housing is local and it is worth noting that most of the rise in home prices has been driven by the Western states. CoreLogic's chief economist Mark Fleming notes that eight of the top 10 highest appreciating markets are in California, with Phoenix and Las Vegas rounding the list. Including distressed sales, the five states with the highest home price appreciation were: Nevada (up 19.3 %), Arizona (up 18.6%), California (up 15.3%), Hawaii (up 14.6 %) and Idaho (up 13.5 %). -- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York. >Contact by Email.

RJB (Club Member) stayed Apr 2016 This review is for Alton, The Star First time on a CCC site and if all the sites are like this one then we will certainly enjoy being members. The facilities are very clean and the site is well kept - good size children's play area. The site is on quite a hill so would recommend booking the flat hardstanding pitches if you are touring unless you fancy balancing the front end of your van on breeze blocks. Site staff were very friendly and we made to feel very welcome. We went with friends who were camping and they were only too happy to accommodate us both being pitched next to each other. Great location for Alton Towers. We also went to Gullivers Kingdom in Matlock which was only a 40 minute drive. Ashbourne and Carsington Water not that far away too. So much to do with so little time - we will definitely be back again!!

The countryside around the site is beautiful and there are many good walks directly from the site. There are also some cycle friendly lanes adjacent to the site. The whole area reminds us much of our favourite club site at Youlgrave but with all the facilities and without the hair raising approach. We will certainly use it in the future.

coming from the west, how does someone with a bike get to Newport, Rhode Island ??
are there walkways to use on the bridges ?
coming from the west, how does someone with a bike get to Newport, Rhode Island ??
are there walkways to use on the bridges ?
About 5 years ago I rode eastbound over the Jamestown bridge then on to the toll booth area of the Newport bridge. After about 10 minutes of hanging out with my bike, a pick-up truck stopped to ask if I needed a ride. I paid his toll and he dropped me off at the first exit in Newport.
There isn't a legal way to ride across the two bridges to get to Newport. The first bridge, the Jamestown bridge, was built to accommodate bicycles but the state has banned bicycles and probably will forever. The second bridge is the Newport Bridge and it is not only unsafe to ride on but they will reel you in.
Here are some options on how to get across:
1)There is bus service, but it only runs a few times a day, handles only two bikes and doesn't run on Sundays: From the RIPTA web site look up route 64
2) As mentioned by the earlier poster you can simply hitch hike across. I have done this. Whether or not hitch hiking is legal in RI I don't know.
3) There is a seasonal ferry between Newport and Jamestown, which avoids the Newport but not the need to cross the Jamestown bridge. This is a very scenic ferry, but only only bypasses the Newport bridge.
4) So you can simply ride across the Jamestown bridge to take the ferry(from May to Sept???), riding the Jamestown bridge is easy to do ( it was legal for many years) and many riders do this, but you run the risk of arrest or harassment by police. Also, I don't think you have much recourse if any thing bad happened.
5) Try a land route north through Providence. Maybe 60 miles? There is no mapped or signed route to guide this way, but there are two bike paths leading to and fro the city but again no easy way to connect the dots. The ride from Providence to Newport is really nice with a only one bad part: a short section of "take the lane" riding. (There is also a Newport to Providence ferry, that I believe is seasonal)
Good Luck
PS: Don't know if you are going east from Newport, but there is another forbidden bridge. The Sakonnet Bridge. Again it was legal riding for years but now it isn't.
You could try heading for Providence and taking the East Bay Path to the end in Bristol.
From there take RT114 towards Newport. You can ride over the Mt Hope bridge on the road but the
barriers are low and its a long way down to the bay. Rt. 114 will take you into town. There is an on road marked path that goes off 114 near the naval station. I cant remember the name of the path
also, from Providence you can take ferry ... info on ripta.com

Recommendation 10G Sand Plants
Simply put the tank I am hoping to put some dwarf corys in and when needed have Molly Fry in with them to seperate from the adults. I wanted to ask for some good plant options and lightining options. I right now have the tank and a glass hood. I plan to have a sponge filter stuck to the side for when fry are added. Any recommendations on what may work best would be greatly appreciated. The canvas is essentially blank :)
Posted via Mobile Device
Floating plants, some options include Brazilian Pennywort (really a stem plant, but floats well), Amazon Frogbit, and Dwarf Water Lettuce. Water Sprite is a good floating plant, but would probably get too large for a 10 gallon.
For down below, you can have the typical low light stuff like Anubias and Java Fern. Java Moss is also very good for fry to hide in.
For substrate plants you can give Cryptocoryne Parva a try, and also Pygmy Chain Sword.
All of the above will work in a 'low light' and low tech setup (no CO2 injection). You could use either a single 18" T8 tube fixture, or you can use a dual screw in fixture with two 10W CFLs. In either case, get the daylight bulbs from a hardware store, they should be listed as 6500K for a color temperature.
Since you want to use this tank for Molly fry, I recommend bushy plants because the fry like to be able to hide and feel secure. Hortwort or Cabomba would both be great for this. Their light requirements (in my experience) are pretty minimal as well. Some thick, grassy plants would also be great.
I would caution against Cory in the tank with very small fry. My Cory eat brine shrimp, tubifex worms and bloodworms, so I know they'd be able to fit a Molly baby in their mouths. I know they wouldn't actively hunt the fry, but if they happened across one resting in the grass, they might suck it up.
Molly require medium hard or harder water, with a pH well above 7. The "dwarf" species of cory are soft slightly acidic water fish, and while they can manage with slightly basic water, if it is too basic and hard they will not last.
I agree on the previous suggestions for light and plants. Over a 10g, an incandescent fixture (screw-in bulbs) is cheapest and works well, I have this over my 10g with two 10w GE Daylight (6500K) CFL bulbs.
General terms like "hard" can refer to very different levels of hardness.
pH UNITS 7.4 to 8 Ranges
Hardness (AS CaCO3) mg/L 198 to 316 (¥)
(ppm readings)
Magnesium 2.93 to 20.50
Calcium 11.2 to 103.0
Does that help or no? I can send you the full report they send out there is no exact gH/kH readings just the ions/minerals that make these up. If there is an easy formula I could work to convert if there is more data needed.
Found converter online My ranges for gH are (and if there is a test kit out there you'd recommend maybe an API one to go with my master test kit I could get this to test, I'd like something that did gH and kH though)...
11.088 to 17.696 (gH)
What does the pH read in your aquarium? Just wondering if it changes much, as this will tell us something.
There isn't a lot of space in a 10g, so back to your original question now that we have worked through the GH and pH, I would get some snails and leave the fish to the molly fry.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Jack Del Rio says MRIs revealed Knowshon Moreno's sprained right ankle and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie's jammed right shoulder are "not significant" injuries.
Del Rio said both players are day-to-day and should practice this week.
Moreno left Gillette Stadium in a walking boot Sunday night after rushing for a career-high 224 yards on 37 carries in Denver's 34-31 overtime loss to the Patriots.
Rodgers-Cromartie was hurt on the final play of the first half, and his absence helped the Patriots overcome a 24-0 halftime deficit.
Del Rio had no update for defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson (hip).
He did say he expects cornerback Champ Bailey (foot) and tight end Julius Thomas (knee) to play this week.

Well the remake of Prom Night is on the way, so I figured it would be fun for everyone to relive it. Maybe make it a party? I know I write a lot about parties and drinking, but then again, I am your Hollywood-based Movie Style Guy.
Might I recommend the gents rent a sweet tuxedo? And by that I mean the cheapest, most gawkish ones you can. Spend no more than $75 for the weekend! Ladies, I'm sure you all have some expensive dress you conned your parents into buying and have never again worn. Dust that off and strap on your heels. Bonus points if you actually go see Prom Night dressed like this.
Of course you will need to take with your the flask of cheap vodka and a quart or orange juice. I don't condone driving drunk, so take a taxi, or run with the theme and rent a limo! Or borrow your daddy's caddy and skip the pre-gaming.
For those of us not willing or able to indulge in prom like behavior, we can at least drink like it's prom!
White Wine from a Box
Yes, the cool girl's mom is totally letting you drink wine from a box in a red plastic cup, but only because you agreed not to drive. Pick a zinfandel and make it cheap. Also acceptable? Wine coolers.
Screw Drivers
Probably the first mixed drink many of us ever had. It brings back the memories doesn't it? Now remember, it's prom night, so double up! 3oz of vodka to 4oz or 5oz of OJ will have you singing Love Me by The Cardigans and slow dancing in no time.
Malibu Rum (Or Something Else Disgusting)
There was always that one bottle of liquor that never seemed to get any lower on liquids – because it was nasty. So of course you snuck a couple of drinks out of it. To remember those good times of you trying to be cool and nearly choking to death, taste some of the seemingly suntan lotion infused coconut rum, or if you haven't grown up, sample some strong whiskey and then have a coughing fit, just like old times.
For added effect, you may want to drunk dial an old flame and sob openly into the phone about how great you used to be. But don't freak out when her kid picks up.
Happy Prom Night everyone.

Item No: 4.B.1.
Meeting Date: June 11, 2012
From: Mike Thornton, Purchasing Manager, for
Jimmy Feagle, Deputy Public Works Director
Subject: Ratification of City Manager purchase approval for additional work on the reconstruction of Spartan Avenue
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends ratification of City Manager approval for additional construction services work on the reconstruction of Spartan Avenue in the amount of $8,856.00 for a total construction services cost of $29,536.00.
City Manager approval of the additional work was required as the contractor was already mobilized and on-site reconstructing the originally contracted section of roadway. Delaying authorization of the additional work would have resulted in additional costs for remobilization.
The Streets Division evaluated Spartan Avenue based on citizen concerns of the condition of the roadway. Staff determined a partial base failure had occurred causing the road surface to begin failing. Removal of segments of the road base will be sufficient to adequately bring the road back to a condition that will extend the road life cycle of 15 years.
The Streets Division prepared a scope of work and solicited bids for the reconstruction. The scope of work included removal and replacement of 570 square yards of existing asphalt and clay road base. The contractor will use standard Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) construction standards for the rebuild of the roadway.
Quotes for the originally awarded work were received from three companies and are summarized below.
Company Name - Location
Quoted Price
Beesley Construction Co. LLC – Leesburg
Paqco Inc. – Leesburg
CW Roberts - Wildwood
Heavy equipment activity on the road during reconstruction caused another section of the road base and surface to fail. An additional 503 square yards of work will cost $8,856.00. This will bring the cost of the project to $29,536.00.
1. Ratify City Manager approval of the additional work; or
2. Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate
Fiscal Impact:
The additional $8,856.00 is available in current General Fund Streets budget. Because of the base failure of the road, the nature of the project became reconstruction rather than repair. The project will need to be moved to the Capital Projects Streets division. A budget adjustment will be necessary to move the full amount or $29,536.00 from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund.

Listen to real travelers opinions about us.
Thank you for the opportunity to give some feedback. Overall we are very happy with our holiday in Vietnam. We found the guides and drivers fantastic and the itinerary was well planned and thought out. We really liked having a 'lay day' in Hoi An and really appreciated being able to stop for a day.
Tracey Masterton (Australia)
We hadn't planned to see the township of Hoi An and appreciated that our tour guide suggested it. It was good to have the flexibility to have some changes made when we got to Vietnam as from Australia it was hard to know everything about where we were going.

Nick Swinmurn DETHRONED
Sports throughout the years have brands that are as recognized as much as the sport itself. Like a Louisville Slugger is to baseball, and Champion is to boxing, Tapout quickly raised itself to be the King brand of MMA. Tapout was one of the first MMA clothing companies on the scene, founded by Charles Lewis, Jr.("Mask"), and Dan Caldwell ("Punkass") in 1997.Since then, they've been the rulers with MMA fans as well as fighters… till now. The king just might get dethroned!
In 2009, a new brand exploded on the scene, Dethrone Royalty.Dethrone Royalty founder, Nick Swinmurn, is no stranger to brand building.Nick helped found Zappos.com as well as Stagr custom apparel. Custom apparel was such a cumbersome process on the back end, that after a year, he shut it down.Dethrone Royalty started aggressively sponsoring an array of the top fighters in every origination in the world. Fighters such as Jon Finch, Josh Koscheck, Shane Carwin, and Heavyweight champion of the UFC, Cain Velasquez. Dethrone Royalty quickly won over fight fans and satisfied their hunger for a new look in MMA with their fresh new graphic tee's that strayed away from skull, flames, and blood. Dethrone Royalty mixes the styles of urban and skate wear, with the sprit of the fight world to create their own unique style that's all their own.
Over the past two years Dethrone Royalty has grown to be one of the most recognized Brands in MMA today as well as one of the prefered brand of Fighters U. If you have been living in a cave, or are a new fan to MMA checkout the new king, Dethrone Royalty!

Comments about Black Diamond Black Diamond Magnum Pack:
Comfortable, small but-effective, light day pack that does not weigh much. Because it is not stiff and doesn't take up much space itself, it can be used as a stuff bag or crammed into luggage as a knock-around bag in town when you arrive, etc. The Magnum has a water pouch and outlet, two side stretch pockets, an inner pocket, and the outer stretch cord comes in handy for cinching down the pack when it is not full or for lashing a rain shell to it (etc.). It rides up fairly high on the back because Black Diamond focuses on climbing and technical gear. I have two of them: one for the car (emergencies) and one for regular use.
Comments about Black Diamond Black Diamond Magnum Pack:
I purchased this pack with the intention of using it for my summit pack, meaning I would be able to pack this pack inside my bigger pack. It worked out perfectly, I can put my 100oz bladder and my raingear and food inside of this pack without a problem. I also found that this pack makes a great everyday pack, not to big and not to small.
Perfect size when traveling lite.

Comments about Black Diamond Black Diamond Magnum Pack:
This is a great travel pack because it is small enough to fit in my luggage. It's versatile enough for day use, travel, and even short day hikes. It is kind of flimsy, so it doesn't hold its shape at all. I'm thinking of cutting a piece of closed cell foam and inserting it into the hydration pocket. I like the gray color; it's easy to find things in. I also have the all black version, and I can't see into it very well.

Comments about Black Diamond Black Diamond Magnum Pack:
This is a great travel and around town pack. It is small enough to squeeze into your luggage. The back padding is minimal, so the pack structure is a little flimsy. It's also OK for short day hikes. To be perfect, I would have liked an outside flat pocket for maps, tickets, travel info.

Authors: Frondel, Manuel; Peters, Jörg; Vance, Colin

Abstract: Using a panel of household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2005, this study assesses the effectiveness of fuel efficiency improvements by econometrically estimating the rebound effect, describing the extent to which higher efficiency causes additional travel.Following a theoretical discussion outlining three alternative definitions of the rebound effect, the econometric analysis generates corresponding estimates using panel methods to control for the effects of unobservables that could otherwise produce spurious results. Our results, which range between 56% and 66%, indicate a rebound that is substantially larger than obtained in other studies, calling into question the efficacy of recently implemented measures in the European Union targeted at technological innovations in the automotive sector. Does Money Buy Higher Schooling? Evidence from Secondary School Track Choice in Germany http://hdl.handle.net/10419/18606 Title: Does Money Buy Higher Schooling? Evidence from Secondary School Track Choice in Germany

Authors: Tamm, Marcus

Abstract: The German schooling system selects children into different secondary school tracks already at a very early stage in life. School track choice heavily influences choices and opportunities later in life. It has often been observed that secondary schooling achievements display a strong correlation with parental income.We use sibling fixed effects models and information on a natural experiment in order to analyze whether this correlation is due to a causal effect of income or due to unobservable factors that themselves might be correlated across generations. Our main findings suggest that income has no positive causal effect on school choice and that differences between high- and low-income households are driven by unobserved heterogeneity, e.g. differences in motivation.

Determinants of the Probability of Default in the German Hospital Sector

Authors: Augurzky, Boris; Engel, Dirk; Schwierz, Christoph

Abstract: Huge underinvestment increases the need for private borrowing in the German hospital sector, the access to which is partly determined by the probability of default (PD) of individual hospitals. Using ordinary least squares and quantile regression techniques this paper provides first empirical evidence of its kind to evaluate the PD in the hospital sector and its constituent determinants. Based on annual account and medical data from 17% of all German hospitals we find that the current average probability of default amounts to approximately 1.7%, which is slightly higher than the average probability for all German firms. Among other determinants, we find that public ownership significantly increases the risk of default, while private for-profit and private not-for-profit hospitals do not differ. Moreover, demographic change in the form of population growth is confirmed to be relevant for the PD. Always Poor or Never Poor and Nothing in Between? Duration of Child Poverty in Germany http://hdl.handle.net/10419/18607 Title: Always Poor or Never Poor and Nothing in Between? Duration of Child Poverty in Germany

Authors: Fertig, Michael; Tamm, Marcus

Abstract: This paper analyses the duration of child poverty in Germany. In our sample, we observe the entire income history from the individuals? birth to their coming of age at age 18.Therefore we are able to analyze dynamics in and out of poverty for the entire population of children, whether they become poor at least once or not. Using duration models,we allow poverty exit and re-entry to be correlated even after controlling for observable characteristics and also account for correlations with initial conditions. Our results indicate that household composition, most importantly single parenthood, and the labour market status as well as level of education of the household head are the main driving forces behind exit from and re-entry into poverty and thus determine the (long-term) experience of child poverty. However, unobserved heterogeneity seems to play an important role as well.

I Made No-Knead Easter Bread!!!
Can you believe it? Well, it's true. Let me start at the beginning.
If you recall, my Mom and I had a marathon baking session the other day. We churned out several different kinds of traditional Italian Easter treats. We were elbow deep in flour, butter and ricotta cheese, and gossiping our heads off, when we realized that we had forgotten to start the dough to make our Easter bread. Easter bread is a rich and slightly sweet yeast bread, that is braided and baked with colored eggs entwined in it. It is very similar to challah. Although it is a very popular Italian specialty, many other European cultures also boast their own version of it too.
We were majorly bummed about this, because this particular dough requires two rises. That meant that even if we dropped what we were doing and started right then, it would be at least three hours before the loaves would be ready to be baked. Crap! I couldn't believe we forgot about the bleeping Easter bread!
Suddenly, it hit me. I still had half a batch of the master recipe for brioche dough from the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day cookbook sitting in my fridge. If I could make doughnuts and almond brioche out of that dough, why couldn't I make Easter bread out of it as well?
I raced home and grabbed the dough, and raced back to Mom's. (It's a good thing we only live a few blocks away from each other or else I would have probably needed Stacey's defibrilator!) Within ten minutes, we had the dough formed and ready to rest. About an hour after that, the intoxicating aroma of freshly baked Easter bread was wafting through the house. Let me tell you, that house was already smelling pretty damn good from all of the pies we'd been baking. The combination of the two was absolutely heavenly!
Anyway, those loaves of bread turned out fantastic! They were beautifully burnished on the outside, and soft and pillowy on the inside. We were able to get two gorgeous round loaves out of the dough I had on hand. With a whole batch, I'm sure you could get four.
Imagine that! Who'd have thunk it? No-Knead Easter bread!
- 1½ cups lukewarm water
- 1½ tablespoons granulated yeast (1½ packets)
- 1½ tablespoons salt
- 8 eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ cup honey
- 7½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 batch of brioche dough
- 4 raw, dyed eggs, more if you are clumsy (Make sure you use raw eggs. They will cook along with the bread. I didn't do this and my eggs sank like pretty colored lead bullets!)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten for egg wash
- colored sanding sugar for decorating (optional)

Rock Climbing Videos : Comments
Comments by delphyne (1)
I was the belayer. First of all, the rope was NOT behind his leg. Having taken a whipper myself, where no one told me my leg was completely behind my rope (flipped, rope burn, the whole enchilada), I'm always on the eye out for even the barest hint of an ankle behind the rope and warn my climber accordingly. If you look closely, his right leg was the last limb to leave the wall. Secondly, please note that he was still a good 3-5 feet above the ledge when he came to rest. Had he not flipped, the most we'd have had to worry about was barking his shins on the undercut (and coming up short right at that undercut would not have been nice either).

Arch Coal Comments On Fourth Quarter Production Levels; Schedules Release Of Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2013 Results On Feb. 4
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Arch Coal, Inc. (NYSE:ACI) today announced that lower-than-planned shipment levels in the Powder River Basin and reduced production levels at the Mountain Laurel complex in Appalachia will impact its fourth quarter 2013 financial results. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120727/CG47668LOGO)In the Powder River Basin ("PRB"), Arch's fourth quarter 2013 shipment levels decreased by more than 15 percent from third quarter levels due to rail service issues on the Joint Line. Arch's fourth quarter shipments were impacted as its current mix of sales contracts skews more heavily toward customers utilizing the rail operator with the majority of the shortfall. Arch noted that this shipment shortfall had a predictable increase in fourth quarter unit costs in the region. In addition, the lower-than-expected shipments in the fourth quarter caused thermal volumes for 2013 to be below the company's previous expectations. "Although rail disruptions impacted our PRB operations in the fourth quarter, we would expect to make up a majority of those shipments during 2014 as rail service improves throughout the year," said John W. Eaves, Arch's president and chief executive officer. As previously announced, Arch has encountered challenging geologic conditions in the current longwall panel at the Mountain Laurel complex in Appalachia. Due to these conditions, fourth quarter 2013 production at the mine decreased by 40 percent as compared to third quarter levels. As a result, the company's full year 2013 metallurgical coal sales volumes were slightly below the low end of its previous expectations. Arch Coal's fourth quarter 2013 earnings release will be issued before the market opens on Tuesday, Feb. 4, and will be posted to the company's website at that time. The company also will discuss its fourth quarter and full year 2013 financial results in a conference call that will be broadcast live over the Internet at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time. The webcast will be accessible via the "investor" section of the Arch Coal website at http://investor.archcoal.com. Following the live event, a replay and an audio download will be available on the site for approximately one month. U.S.-based Arch Coal, Inc. is one of the world's top coal producers for the global steel and power generation industries, serving customers on five continents. Its network of mining complexes is the most diversified in the United States, spanning every major coal basin in the nation. The company controls more than 5 billion tons of high-quality metallurgical and thermal coal reserves, with access to all major railroads, inland waterways and a growing number of seaborne trade channels.

1985 Chevrolet Suburban C10 5.7 gas from North America
Distributor failed and brake caliper seized.
General Comments:
AWESOME truck. Bought it as a winter beater for $500. Was one of the best trucks I've EVER owned.
Its body was like a rusty old cheese grater... opened the door one day, and all I got was the handle. Leaked from every gasket but the intake and heads.
Needed a starter when I towed it to the junk yard... I had to, it was so physically unsafe to drive anymore. SOLID engine and transmission.
I've owned an 87 Chevy R10 2WD and it was awesome as well.
Getting ready to purchase a 1984 Suburban for $700. Very solid for its age and runs just as well as the last one! Handled well, towed magnificently. Sorely underrated towing capability.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

HIP2 - Human Huntingtin Interacting Protein 2 (aka E2-25)
Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterised by death of cortical and striatal neurons and caused by an expanded polyglutamine tract at the amino terminus of the protein huntingtin. Although the pathogenic mechanism is still unknown, important disease phenotypes have been discovered, such as neuronal intranuclear inclusions of mutant huntingtin and the presence of specific aggregate-interacting proteins.
Two important huntingtin-associated proteins are ubiquitin and, via yeast-two-hybrid experiments and in-vitro pull-downs, the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2-25, also known as huntingtin interacting protein 2 (HIP2). Huntingtin is an extremely large protein of about 3000 amino acids, widely and ubiquitously expressed, and part of a protein network that regulates membrane trafficking.
HIP2 presumably contributes to the ubiquitination of huntingtin, possibly through an E3-ligase independant and dependent manner. We have determined the high resolution structure of HIP2. In addition to the canonical ubiquitin conjugating (UBC) fold, our data reveals the structure and orientation of the carboxy-terminal ubiquitin associated domain (UBA) (residues 159-194). This helical bundle forms extensive interactions with the alpha-3 helix (139-153) of the core UBC domain; aromatic residues (residues 80,148,152,162,188) from both the UBC and UBA dominate at the interface. The UBA subdomain is spatially removed from both the reactive cysteine (Cys92) and from the putative E3-ligase binding surface (residues 4,8,11,67,68,102,103). The ubiquitin associated domain, which in other proteins has been shown to function as a ubiquitin binding module, may provide an additional site for ubiquitin binding, potentially directing specificity for polyubiquitylation reactions.

On Nov. 2, 2008, the Phoenix Mars Lander stopped phoning home. Sitting in the Martian Arctic, suffering a slow death due to sunlight deprivation (the sun was dropping low on the Red Planet's horizon, reducing the amount of energy its solar panels could collect), the mission was officially dead.
However, now that the Martian northern hemisphere is entering summer, some scientists are excited about the possibility of thawing Phoenix. If this is possible, perhaps the Phoenix could live up to its name and rise from the ashes (or, in this case, ice).
But is that a possibility? Not really. But there's hope! And where Mars missions are concerned, there's usually a surprise in store. (Although you won't find me placing a bet on these odds.)
"We start listening in January for signals from our lander," said Peter Smith, Phoenix principal investigator at the Lunar and Planetary Lab at the University of Arizona in Tucson. "Our engineering team is quite curious to see how resilient the electronic systems are to the extreme cold of northern winter."
But these 'extremes' are very extreme.
Although the lander was frozen to a temperature of -67 F (-55 °C) during tests on Earth, it is thought that Phoenix has endured a Mars winter low of -195 F (-126 °C). That's nearly three times colder than the lander was tested to endure. As a comparison, the coldest temperature recorded on Earth is -128.6 F (-89.2 °C) on July 21, 1983 in Russia.
The electronics on board Phoenix have a built-in "Lazarus mode" — a system that restores functions to the robot after extended periods of sleep (or deep-freeze) — but I'm very dubious that even if communications to Phoenix could be restored, any useful science would be hard to come by.
But that doesn't stop the ever-positive Phoenix team from trying.
"Clearly, future use of Phoenix instruments depends on the health of the system," Smith said. "If it fully recovers then we would start with an imaging campaign and measure soil properties with TECP [the thermal and electrical-conductivity probe], then progress to digging beneath the surface to see if the ice table has changed depth."
So we'll just have to wait and see if we hear from our chilly robot on Mars in January, but if we do hear from Phoenix, I won't expect it to do any science. I think its digging days are over.

ZymoGenetics And Bristol-Myers Squibb To Present PEG-Interferon Lambda Phase 2a Interim Clinical Trial Results At AASLD 2010
ZymoGenetics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZGEN) and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE:BMY) announced that interim results from Phase 2a of the EMERGE clinical trial of PEG-Interferon lambda administered with ribavirin in treatment-naïve hepatitis C virus patients, will be presented at the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) annual meeting in Boston, October 29 – November 2, 2010. PEG-Interferon lambda abstracts, including clinical, pharmacokinetic and viral kinetic data along with in vitro data in combination with direct-acting antiviral agents, were published today and are available on the AASLD website at www.aasld.org.
About PEG-Interferon lambda
PEG-Interferon lambda (IL-29) is a novel and first in class interferon in development for hepatitis C. The native human interferon lambda proteins are generated by the immune system in response to viral infection, and signal through a different receptor than type I interferons, such as interferon alpha. Because this receptor is present on fewer cell types within the human body, it is hypothesized that PEG-Interferon lambda may be able to demonstrate an improved safety and tolerability profile compared to alpha interferons.

Hundreds of Fort Carson soldiers are back with their loved ones after nearly a year away.
The 250 soldiers returned to Colorado Friday afternoon from a nine-month deployment in Kuwait, where they helped members of the Kuwaiti Armed Forces.
Soldiers and families ran to each other the instant the troops were released from formation. Parents scooped excited children into their arms, spouses and significant others could barely keep their eyes off each other, finally together in person after so many months apart.
"I'm just excited to be with my wife, be back home," Spc. Luke North told 11 News, as his wife stood next to him, blinking back happy tears.
"Surreal...I feel like it's still just a dream," said a laughing and crying Tabatha North said.
Soldiers said it was the little things they were most looking forward to: eating dinner with their families, relaxing in their homes, spending time with their children.
"I missed them so much," one soldier said, motioning to his wife and daughter. "I can't wait to play with [my daughter] again."
The returning soldiers are with the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. They are among the 2,700 troops that are returning home. About half of that 2,700 are already back, while the rest will be returning home within the next two weeks.

To the Members of the Class of 2019
Welcome to Princeton! I'm delighted to share with you some personal observations about the best ways to take advantage of the opportunities for learning and personal growth that this University offers.
First, remember that you are here to learn. You have the extraordinary luxury of four years in which to develop your mind — to grow in your ability to think analytically and read critically, to write clearly and speak persuasively, to develop and test hypotheses, and to fashion and sustain convincing interpretations or proofs. Enjoy this learning to the fullest. Choose your courses — and, later, your field of concentration — because the work engages your imagination and interest and expands your intellectual horizons. Resist outside pressures to choose areas of study on the basis of presumed practical utility. Your choices ought to be guided by your own intellectual passion and curiosity. One can develop the mind through many different kinds of studies, some obviously practical, some whose utility may be less evident. Within the constraints of satisfying requirements and fulfilling prerequisites, loving a subject is the best possible reason for selecting an area of study.
Second, think carefully about the best ways to take advantage of the remarkable teaching that Princeton offers. Be discriminating not only in the subjects you choose to study, but also in the courses — and, ultimately, the area of concentration — in which you enroll. You will undoubtedly sign up for a number of large lecture courses — their size reflects their popularity and the quality of the teaching you will find there. But remember that departments and programs also offer many small courses of extremely high quality. These smaller courses may offer you a very attractive and different kind of interaction with established faculty that will greatly enrich your learning. The same applies to the selection of an area of concentration. The largest departments offer excellent courses and fine teaching, but so do the smallest, and there you may find much more intensive contact with faculty than in departments with large numbers of concentrators.
Third, take full advantage of the special commitment of the Princeton faculty to undergraduate education. Go see your teachers during their office hours, whether to pursue a question left unresolved in class, or to ask for special help, or to seek advice about future studies. Invite your teachers to lunch or dinner in your residential college. Get to know the faculty fellows whom you may see from time to time in the college dining room. Faculty often will reach out to you, but to profit fully from the opportunities here for faculty-student contact, you will need to make many of the overtures. Do not be discouraged if a particular faculty member appears to be rushed or preoccupied. Contact with faculty outside the classroom can be one of the richest parts of your experience at Princeton.
Finally, never underestimate the importance of learning outside the classroom. That learning comes from getting to know other people — roommates, friends, residential college advisers (RCAs), your deans and college administrators, building and dining services staff, and many other hard-working members of the Princeton community. It comes from participating in extracurricular activities and community service. It comes from attending the many intellectual and cultural events in your residential college and in the larger University. And it comes from exploring the town of Princeton and the surrounding area, including New York City and Philadelphia.
Make time for all of these kinds of learning, for they will enrich your experience here in ways that you will value for the rest of your life.
I wish you all the best for a wonderful year.
Valerie Smith
Dean of the College

Helena, Mont. (AP) - Sen. John Walsh of Montana said Wednesday his failure to attribute conclusions and verbatim passages lifted from other scholars' work in his thesis to earn a master's degree from the U.S. Army War College was an unintentional mistake caused in part by post-traumatic stress disorder.
The apparent plagiarism first reported by The New York Times was the second potentially damaging issue raised this year involving the Democrat's 33-year military career, which has been a cornerstone of his campaign to keep the seat he was appointed to in February when Max Baucus resigned to become U.S. ambassador to China.
National Democrats said Wednesday they remained "100 percent behind Sen. Walsh" in his campaign against Republican Rep. Steve Daines.
Walsh told The Associated Press when he wrote the thesis, he had PTSD from his service in Iraq, was on medication and was dealing with the stress of a fellow veteran's recent suicide. "I don't want to blame my mistake on PTSD, but I do want to say it may have been a factor," the senator said.
Walsh submitted his thesis, titled "The Case for Democracy as a Long Term National Strategy," to earn his Master of Strategic Studies degree in 2007, nearly two years after he returned from Iraq and about a year before he became Montana's adjutant general overseeing the state's National Guard and Department of Military Affairs.
Walsh's military record was first questioned in January when records revealed the Army reprimanded him in 2010 for pressuring guardsmen to join a private association for which he was seeking a leadership role.
The first page borrows heavily from a 2003 Foreign Affairs piece written by Thomas Carothers, vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and a 2009 book by Natan Sharansky with Ron Dermer called "The Case for Democracy: The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny and Terror."
Sharansky is a former Soviet dissident and chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel. Dermer is the Israeli ambassador to the United States.
All six of the recommendations that Walsh listed at the end of his paper are taken nearly word-for-word without attribution from a Carnegie paper written by Carothers and three other scholars at the institute.
One section is nearly identical to about 600 words from a 1998 paper by Sean Lynn-Jones, a scholar at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, a research institute at Harvard. Carothers and a Dermer spokesman declined to comment.
Lynn-Jones said Walsh appears to have received a degree on the basis of work that was not entirely his own, and that anyone seeking credit for an academic degree "needs to acknowledge where the material is coming from."
"Maybe he unintentionally didn't cite my work, but it's up to the Army War College to determine whether this is acceptable by their standards or not," Lynn-Jones said.
Walsh was adjutant general at the time and wanted to become vice chairman of the National Guard Association of the United States. In the reprimand, Army Vice Chief of Staff Peter Chiarelli said he questioned Walsh's ability to lead.
An after-hours call to the Carlisle, Pa., school rang unanswered Wednesday.
Walsh declined to answer repeated questions about whether he believed he earned the degree if the thesis' conclusions were not his own.
"I know about war strategy and defense because of firsthand experience leading a battalion and the Montana National Guard," he said.
The senator said when he wrote the paper, he was seeing two doctors and taking medication to deal with nightmares, anxiety and sleeplessness. He said he has since worked through those issues with his doctors and family, though he still takes antidepressant medication.
Justin Barasky, spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said the committee stands behind Walsh.
"John Walsh is a decorated war hero, and it's disgusting that Steve Daines and Washington Republicans are going to try denigrate John's distinguished service after multiple polls show him gaining," Barasky said.
Daines spokeswoman Alee Lockman said she had just seen the Times' report and had no immediate comment.
Even before the plagiarism revelations, top Democratic strategists saw Walsh's campaign as an uphill pull, never counting on it as key to holding their Senate majority.
Republicans need to gain six net seats this fall to control the Senate. South Dakota, West Virginia and Montana are seen as likely GOP pickups, and Republicans have several opportunities to grab the other three contests they need. Top on their lists are incumbent Democrats running in states President Barack Obama lost in 2012: Arkansas, Louisiana, North Carolina and Alaska.
Walsh is the only senator who served in the Iraq war. He capped his long career in the Montana National Guard as the state's adjutant general before becoming lieutenant governor to Gov. Steve Bullock, who appointed him to the Senate seat.
