The average incomes across the United States and worldwide have not been keeping up with the new financial realities of the high tech revolution. Daily as the extremely wealthy corner more and more of the money and power in the United States there are simultaneously more well educated and capable people than ever before being thrown down into the painful and deadly quicksand of poverty. The income inequality which we are seeing is tearing apart the fabric of the American society. Yale's Robert Shiller has said one solution to the growing problem of income inequality is to raise taxes on the wealthy reports Money News on April 15, 2014.
Nobel laureate economist Robert Shiller of Yale University says the tax system should be changed to avoid a worsening of income inequality. According to economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez the top 1 percent of households corner 19 percent of the country's income now, which is up from 8 percent in the 1970s. Schiller suggests taxes should be indexed to income inequality with a goal of making them more progressive.
It is the position of Schiller that if we wait too long to make this change an entirely new class of new super wealthy people will most likely feel entitled to their wealth and will than have the means to defend their interests. Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell has pointed out the growing wealth of the wealthy is now set against the stagnation or deterioration of living standards for just about everyone else.
Business Insider reports that Shiller actually has a solution for exploding inequality in the United States. He points out that although income inequality would be much worse without our current tax system, what we have clearly is not nearly enough. Shiller points out from a psychological perspective this is the time to act on this problem. Psychologists have noted that people are generally more idealistic and generous when they are dealing hypothetically with the distant future than they are about dealing with actions they need to take today. Shiller is right. The present state of rising income inequality in the United States is a national disgrace which is responsible for the daily literal torture and killing of scores of people.


text: The econometric modeling of social Preferences Volume 4 Jena Economic Research Papers 2010-06-29 2010 2007 2010-042 Econometric modelling and estimation model evaluation individual behaviour fairness Experimental data on social preferences present a number of features that need to be incorporated in econometric modelling. We explore a variety of econometric modelling approaches to the analysis of such data. The approaches under consideration are: the random utility approach (in which it is assumed that each possible action yields a utility with a deterministic and a stochastic component, and that the individual selects the action yielding the highest utility); the random behavioural approach (which assumes that the individual computes the maximum of a deterministic utility function, and that computational error causes their observed behaviour to depart stochastically from this optimum); and the random preference approach (in which all variation in behaviour is attributed to stochastic variation in the parameters of the deterministic component of utility). These approaches are applied in various ways to an experiment on fairness conducted by Cappelen et al. (2007). At least two of the models that we estimate succeed in capturing the key features of the data set. jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2010-06-29T13:45:42.622Z 2010-12-17T11:54:22.172Z

Thirdhand smoke is starting to receive attention as another risk of exposure to tobacco smoke. Researchers have been concerned about exposure to the lingering toxic chemicals from tobacco smoke but didn't have a name for it until recently. The term was coined by Dr. Winickoff for an article published by Pediatrics about the relative knowledge about the effects of exposure to second and third hand smoke.
Tobacco smoke is made up of both gaseous and particle material. The composition of tobacco smoke can vary greatly depending on whether the smoke is coming from the tip of the cigarette, (known as side stream smoke), off of the filtered end of the cigarette or is being exhaled by the smoker. Secondhand smoke is a combination of both side stream smoke and exhaled smoke and has been shown to increase health risks to non-smokers. When the components of secondhand smoke fall onto indoor objects such as furniture, clothing, skin or the inside of a car, this is known as "thirdhand smoke". It is not really smoke at all but the fine particle material left over. Some of the toxic chemicals in thirdhand smoke include:
- Hydrogen cyanide (used in chemical weapons).
- Carbon monoxide.
- Butane.
- Ammonia.
- Toluene (found in paint thinners).
- Arsenic.
- Lead.
- Chromium (used to make steel).
- Cadmium (used to make batteries).
- Polonium-210 (a highly radioactive carcinogen).
Research is just beginning to see if exposure to this particle material increases health risks to non-smokers that are exposed. This research could influence the resale value of cars of smokers or the rental or sales value of a house that had been occupied by a smoker.
But the real value of this research is the health effects on infants and children exposed to thirdhand smoke, especially infants who tend to put almost anything into his or her mouth and have a fast breathing pace than adults which increases their exposure. While research on human expsoure is in the beginning stages and is limited by ethical standards, research on pets can lead the way.
It has been shown that both dogs and cats of smokers, have higher rates of certain cancers than animals of nonsmokers due to the exposure of secondhand smoke. Dogs are prone to cancer of the nasal cavity and cats have a higher risk of maglignant lymphoma. But cats are also more prone to cancer of the tongue, which dogs are not. Cats will lick their coats, ingesting the particles of smoke or thirdhand smoke.
While research is limited, smokers with infants and small children are encouraged to limit their children's thirdhand smoke exposure by:
- Always smoking outside and away from infants and children
- Wear a "smoking" coat that can be taken off when around infants and children
- Don't smoke in a car where children normally ride
- Wash your hands after smoking and before holding infants and children
- Think about quitting to decrease the health risks to both yourself and your family

A recent decision by a judge in the UK put forth "the right to be forgotten" as a law, meaning that if a person petitions Google for certain aspects of information to be removed from the index due to its being "incorrect, outdated or irrelevant," then Google had to remove that information if the request is found to be true. With 41,000 petitions filed in the first month, Google faces a large amount of work if it is to keep in compliance with English law. In the middle of this situation is Lord Neil Benjamin Gibson, an English citizen who has been fighting a battle against an internet campaign to destroy his reputation for for than two years ongoing. Gibson first started having trouble in 2012 when a man named Nick V. Fleming began constructing websites that were designed to provide false information about Gibson, the campaign utilizing Google as a centerpiece of its strategy. Websites were created specifically to rank well for Gibson's name, then provide information that would be seen as suspect. This led to many problems for Neil Gibson, as he fought against the perception of being untrustworthy by those who would simply read the Google headlines, those who potentially were making a decision as to the potential ramifications of entering into partnerships with him. Lord Neil Gibson's reputation meant everything to his business practices, as partnerships were generally built on trust and public records. The potential mistrust created by a few negative articles could be damaging enough to compromise a partnership.
Lord Neil Gibson got the majority of the Fleming websites removed through a court order, however a few websites remained live because they were built on Google's "blogspot" platform which allows for authorship to remain anonymous. Because these sites could not be traced back to Fleming as a source, they could not be involved in the action that removed the other sites. Without a way to prove authorship, the sites could not be targeted for legal action. The only other method of addressing these websites is through Google itself, and the "right to be forgotten." As an English citizen, Lord Neil Gibson is allowed under the law to petition Google to remove the information, a process which he is currently engaged in. As the process drags on, the offending websites remain live.
Lord Neil Gibson is a case like many others, who have found incorrect information about themselves on Google and who have little ability to counteract it due to circumstances like anonymous authors. If you find yourself in a similar situation, information on the "right to be forgotten " can be found on the Lord Neil Gibson website.

"With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been mad in the likeness of God; from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing." James 3:9-10
The tongue is the most powerful part of our body. The tongue is what allows us to speak. The words that are produced by our tongue can have a significant impact on the direction our live has gone and will continue to go. The words we choose to produce with our tongue can bring a plethora of feelings, such happiness, joy, pain, sadness, loneliness, and fear, into our lives. These varieties of feelings can in turn have a huge impact on how we handle and get through the various situations and circumstances that arise in our lives.
This verse is important because it reminds us of the power and impact the tongue can have on our lives. The tongue gives us a picture of our basic human nature. We were made in God's image, but we have also fallen into sin. The fact that it is in our human nature to sin is what allows the tongue to both bless and curse at the same time. Deep down we desire to use our tongue in ways that will bless, but at times the sinful part of us overshadows that desire and instead of blessing with our tongue we curse with our tongue. Because of the power struggle between blessing and cursing that is going on within us on a daily basis it is imperative that we allow God to change us from within each day.
We must allow Christ to purify our hearts. By allowing Christ to purify our hearts we become more like Him. We start to reflect His qualities, such as self-control, patience, goodness and so forth. The self-control that we gain can help us in controlling our tongue. By having more control of our tongue we are better able to produce words that please God instead of words that disappoint Him. I urge you to choose today and everyday that follows to use your tongue as one that overflows with words of encouragement and hope to all those that surround you.

And I missed running when I was pregnant. I tried, I just couldn't feel good about running and jiggling up and down that little baby inside of me.
So, finally, I'm back at running.
I think I should mention though that I'm not a runner.
I don't even like to run outside, I prefer the climate controlled environment of the treadmill, where I can set my speed, my
Unfortunately, you can't race on the treadmill (I should google that though), so I hit my first 5K this weekend.
But I raced not only because I wanted to run, but because I wanted to run for her, for Liz. For someone that never got a chance to hold her 5 week old, like I do, every day.
A 5k for my 5 week old
and for moms that hold, have held, and have never gotten to hold, their 5 week old.
I'm co-hosting a talk on TheMotherhood.com tomorrow at 12EST. I, along with a few others, will be giving advice to new and expecting mothers. (Don't laugh; yes, it says 'expert' under my name... OK, now really stop laughing). Avent will be giving away a gift basket of Avent bottles to randomly selected participants and the end of the half hour. Hope to see you there.

Introduced in the early 1860s, the cabinet-card format featured a 4 x 5-1/2 inch print on a 4-1/4 x 6-1/2 inch mount. It was used primarily for studio portraiture, although views can occasionally be found. Prints mounted in this format were made on albumen paper, collodion-chloride printing-out paper, developed-out silver bromide gelatin paper, and gelatin chloride printing-out paper. Along with the carte de visite, cabinet cards were very popular until the end of the century, often sharing space in the family album. [1]
The cabinet card, a popular format for nineteenth-century photographs, is a photograph mounted on heavy card stock and measures approximately 6-1/2 x 4-1/4 inches. Cabinet cards are usually studio portraits, and cabinet cards of celebrities, a favorite subject, were widely collected in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The format was introduced in 1866 and soon surpassed the smaller carte-de-visite format in popularity. Cabinet cards lost much of their popularity after 1900 and largely disappeared by the end of World War I.

Don't worry, everyone's favorite narrators of bad taste and sexual innuendos have returned. The Ying Yang Twins, the same men that brought you "Wait (The Whisper Song)," are back with another gloriously inappropriate anthem targeted at females, this time celebrating their back sides rather than the explicit late night plans they'll be roped into. The video for "Big Butts" is not as NSFW as Mr. Ghetto's "Walmart," but booty shaking in view of mass consumerism continues, as the guys peruse the aisles of their local convenience store looking for the foods that go best with asses. Spam it is! "Wait" was the kind of song you were totally embarrassed to admit to liking in front of your parents, but at least had an undeniable beat. While The Twins were responsible for some big party anthems at their peak in the early aughts ("Salt Shaker," "Shake"), here the production value alone is evidence that it's been far too long since they've experienced the feeling of relevance. Oddly enough, all proceeds from the song go to The Ying Yang Twins USAFE Project for HIV/AIDS prevention and research. So keep watching?

Sky Sports: Kun's boyhood dream
- 10 October 2013 08:18
- Posted by @dclayton_mcfc
Don't worry – Sergio's not going anywhere.
But we can all understand the love our boyhood club and Kun Aguero is no different.
Of course, there are spectacular headlines to be gleaned from run-of-the-mill stories that don't actually say anything, but it is an international break and therefore stories are thin on the ground.
Sky Sports have picked up on quote Aguero made about his beloved Independiente, with some papers going with 'I nearly quit City', but the truth is a little more straightforward than that.
Sky report: "Independiente suffered a shock relegation last season and Aguero admits it crossed his mind to return and help them - but the idea was soon ruled out.
'I love Independiente and when they were relegated I even thought about moving back there, he said.
'I wanted to help the club to go up again. I definitely thought about it, but my agent told me City would have killed us if we had!
'I know my job is at City, I am just saying the thought passed my mind when Independiente went down.
'I've been very happy at City since the day I came but I'm definitely going to back Independiente, in a few years as I want to finish my career there.'"
Sergio has already attained legendary status among City fans for a certain goal he scored in 2012 and we're sure he'll have many more unforgettable moments before he dons the jersey of his childhood idols again.
There is little else of not to report this morning, save for Give Me Sport's snipped on the chase for a talented young goalie who, because he's from Scandinavia, must be the next-you-know…
Paul Bailey reports: "Manchester United and Manchester City will go head-to-head for the signature of highly-rated Norwegian goalkeeper Kjetil Haug.
"The 15-year-old - who is currently on the books at Sarpsborg - has been tipped for a bright future in the game, and as a result has attracted widespread interest from the Premier League.
"Haug underwent a trial at Old Trafford at the end of September, and is understood to have impressed Red Devils scouts, so much so that he was even invited to spend time training with senior goalkeepers David de Gea and Anders Lindegaard.
"However, Manchester United are yet to tie down the talented teenager, who is set to train with Manchester City for a three-day spell later this month, having also received enquiries from Arsenal and Everton.
"The Scandinavian stopper is understood to favour a move to the reigning Premier League champions, but until a contract is signed, there is an inevitable amount of doubt surrounding the future of the 'next Peter Schmeichel' as he has been billed in the media."

Dec. 7, 2012
STANFORD, Calif. - Fifth-year senior Chase Thomas of the football team has been named the Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for November 26 - December 2.
This is the second honor for Thomas and the fifth for a football player this season, joining Usua Amanam, Josh Nunes and Stepfan Taylor.
Thomas led Stanford in its first ever Pac-12 Football Championship Game to a victory over No. 17 UCLA, 27-24. The Pac-12 Championship sends the Cardinal to its 13th all-time Rose Bowl Game and first in 13 years.
Thomas led with season highs of 2.0 sacks and 10 tackles (seven solo). His first two sack plays (one solo, one assist) came on UCLA third downs and forced the Bruins to punt. On his final sack assist, Thomas put UCLA into 3rd & 13 and a subsequent punt. Thomas also broke up a pass attempt in the end zone.
A Communication major taking his final class at Stanford this fall, Thomas came to The Farm from Marietta (Ga.) Walton High School. He set school records with 37 career sacks, including 17 sacks his senior year. Thomas led his team to a league title and the Georgia 6A state semifinals in 2007.
Thomas and the 11-2 football team play their next game Jan. 1 vs. Wisconsin in the 99th Rose Bowl Game presented by VIZEO, with a national ESPN broadcast at 1:30 p.m. PT.
Also Nominated: Inky Ajanaku (women's volleyball), Kristian Ipsen (men's swimming & diving), Chiney Ogwumike (women's basketball), Emily Oliver (women's soccer), Dwight Powell (men's basketball) and Maddy Schaefer (women's swimming & diving).

I like your idea of combining a dog and an airplane. It is creative and insightful. Although your artwork needs work you are doing very well and will only get better! Although it seems to be lacking some sort of "Splash" of color. Maybe next time you could add some design to the wings to give it that extra "Pop"! I like the design of the dogs head and his ears are very well done. Although his/her paws need some work. You might want to add some individual paw pads for extra visual! It will turn out more neat and will only take a little more time. But I feel that you incorporated this song and object into your art very well.
The Artist thought this was FAIR

Science Track 2015 is a Go!
We're gearing up for the convention in a few weeks, and we've updated the site with our current schedule and list of guests. Go check them out and start planning your weekend of science!
Science and Pop Culture
We're gearing up for the convention in a few weeks, and we've updated the site with our current schedule and list of guests. Go check them out and start planning your weekend of science!
As a scientist, Dr. Raychelle Burks is analytical chemist that spends her days designing systems to find specific chemicals in a stew of chemicals. As a science communicator, she founded the DIY Science Zone at GeekGirlCon and created a "death cologne" to protect you from zombies.
You're a chemist who's done a lot of outreach about science and chemistry. How do you approach talking to people about chemicals and battling chemophobia? How can people incorporate chemistry into their everyday lives?
It's easy to talk about chemistry — everything is chemistry! From our morning coffee to our shower soap to the chemicals that help break down our lunch to wine we might have with dinner to the medicines we may need to take. Chemistry is all around us — we're bags of chemicals too! Focusing on the chemicals and chemistry of our everyday lives, listening and acknowledging concerns, is a good way to get — and keep — conversations going.
I've heard a lot about the DIY Science Zone at GeekGirlCon. What was it like establishing and running that, and do you think something like that could work at Dragon Con?
The DIY Science Zone is a great space where GeekGirlCon attendees of all ages can get their hands dirty with science. Getting it going took a lot of help — from GeekGirlCon staff, a crack team of scientists and science teachers that volunteered their time to work in the zone, and to all our donors that help fund it. Last year was our first year and it was a big success! We had a very diverse mix of experimenters that visited the zone — tinkering with science has mass appeal! I think if we give people a space to explore, they will come!
What drives your passion for chemistry?
I love solving mysteries and knowing how stuff works. Chemistry is my detective lens 😀
What are you looking forward to about attending Dragon Con?
The Science Track that Stephen and other volunteers are running has some really great programming scheduled, and I look forward to geeking out with my fellow attendees. I can't wait to visit the comic & pop artist alley, horror fan track events, and see what fun nerdy items vendors have!
Raychelle will be exploring the science of the undead on Friday night, mocking SyFy movies' science in general and Sharknado in particular on Saturday night, help run the hands-on science zone on Sunday morning, will answer your science questions on our "Ask a Scientist!" panel on Sunday afternoon, and is one of our scientist contestants on the Solve for X Science Show Sunday night. She's going to be crazy busy, is what we're saying.
Dr. Pamela Gay is the director of CosmoQuest, a citizen science project that lets you help map the moon, Mercury and Vesta. She's been at the forefront of podcasting as one of the hosts of Astronomy Cast. She works to bridge the gap between scientists and the public.
How does "new media" help you communicate astronomy to the public?
I'm much more of a virtual person than a brick and mortar kind of girl. Using new media and social media, I'm able to take science to the world, and know that if someone can get just a bit of internet, they will be able to get a bit of what I have to share.
Over the years, I've gotten emails from soldiers in Afghanistan, random businessmen in the Sudan, and from all sorts of people in places and walks of life I would otherwise rarely, if ever, encounter. Their message has been consistent: because of the podcasts I've been part of, they've found an escape that lets them learn about the stars (and everything else beyond our atmosphere).
What are some of the challenges and rewards of science outreach?
The rewards of doing science outreach — and science outreach online in particular — are simple: I can help people become scientifically curious and more scientifically literate without having to put on pants.
There are mornings where the bed is warm and my iPhone is in reach, and I can stay snuggled-in while I catch up on what is new and pass on my take on the latest discoveries, all before coffee. There is a lot of ignorance in this world, and much it comes from people simply never being given the chance to learn problem-solving in a way that also encouraged curiosity. They hear weird stuff presented as facts, and don't know to question.
If, in school, you learn that science should have prescribed results and be memorized as a series of facts, how do you ever learn to question? If I can get just the occasional person to stop and go, "Huh? Really? Why?" then I've succeeded. If I can do it by telling them how we know what we know so that they learn to always ask, "How do we know that?" when faced with new ideas — well, that's the best reward I could ask for!
What would you consider your coolest discovery as an astronomer and what can you tell us about it?
I'm a computational kind of person, and sometimes the coolest thing you can do is only cool to you. I've done lots of science covering lots of areas, but the thing I brag about most to other astronomers was writing a piece of software that would run while I was asleep and sequentially:
1) Look for a file of coordinates for possible galaxy clusters,
2) Generate and run a series of pearl scripts to download survey images (.fits files) of the possible clusters in radio, x-ray, and optical light,
3) Use AWK to get out of a text catalogue the positions of all radio sources in downloaded images,
4) Run and IRAF script to mark the radio sources on the .fits files and generate .eps files,
5) generate LaTeX files that would create labeled multi-wavelength finders for each possible cluster,
6) generate .ps files from the LaTex so I could print everything with a single command when I got to campus.
That I managed to force that many things to all work together at once in the early days of the internet still makes me stupidly happy. I think this is when I learned that I can be happier working behind the scenes to write the software that makes the science happen, than I can be having to be responsible for coming up with the big science ideas.
It takes many different people to make science happen. Not everyone can be at the cutting edge: some of us are needed to do the followup observations, the computational work, and all other manner of support work that fleshes out the big picture of how our universe works.
What drives your passion for astronomy?
When I was in middle school, someone once said, "You think you know everything, don't you," and I remember responding. "No. Not yet." It's that "not yet" that keeps me going. I want to know what's under the ice on Europa, and which came first – the black holes or the galaxies. I want to know so many things, and that keeps me getting out of bed even on those days when the room is cold and the bed is warm.
Pamela will talk about how science is represented in the media on Saturday afternoon, run one of the hands-on experiments for the Science Power Hour! on Sunday morning, and will answer your science questions on the "Ask A Scientist!" panel on Sunday afternoon.
Annalee Newitz is the editor-in-chief of io9 and the author of Scatter, Adapt, and Remember: How Humans Will Survive a Mass Extinction. As a journalist and writer she works at the intersection of science and culture.
What are the most challenging and rewarding aspects of reporting science to the general public?
It's always a challenge to get the science right, while still telling a story everybody wants to read. But when you succeed, nothing feels better. Nothing.
When portraying science in TV shows, how does one balance accuracy and entertainment value?
I don't think you have to have fake or distorted science in order to be entertaining. Yes, you sometimes have to omit technical details because the story is about the story, not the process of doing an experiment seventy million times before you get a result. But there is no excuse for representing computer networks incorrectly, or writing about chemical reactions that could never happen. That's just lazy writing, especially when there is so much good information out there online — and there are fantastic science consultants to help out.
I will make an exception for stories that are set in the far future or in alternate worlds, where science is so advanced that it's possible we've done things like build wormholes. Still, there is no reason not to rely on speculation that's supported by what we know now. Nobody is ever, ever going to be able to bend space with their minds due to quantum nonsense, for example. Not going to happen. Just stop trying to pretend it will.
In the event of an apocalypse, what would you do?
That all depends on what kind of an apocalypse we're talking about. Famine? Pandemic? Megavolcano? Gamma ray burst? In all of these instances, except maybe the last, my first move would be to find my friends. And second, I would try to find emergency responders to see if I could help out in any way. Given my skill sets, and those of my friends, I'm probably the person most likely to be blogging via an open wifi network run by solar generators after the apocalypse.
What things are you looking forward to about being a guest at Dragon Con?
Pretty much everything. I love the parade, I love the people who come to Dragon Con, and I love the broad range of topics that are represented. Also, I love southern food. And southern accents.
Annalee will take part in a discussion of how science is represented in the media on Saturday afternoon, talk about what goes into writing great science non-fiction on Sunday afternoon, and discuss what scientific theories should show up in science fiction Sunday evening.
Do you like science? Do you like your hands? Have you occasionally thought, "Boy, it'd be great if I could get science and my hands together?"
Then this year's Dragon Con is your lucky convention! On Sunday from 10 AM until 12:30 PM, we're running the Science Power Hour! We've got twelve hands-on science experiments. How many of them can you do in an hour?
We've got a great team of scientists and educators volunteering their time to help people get their hands dirty for SCIENCE, including Liz Heinecke, the Kitchen Pantry Scientist; Dr. Raychelle Burks, founder of the GeekGirlCon DIY Science Zone; Dr. Pamela Gay, host of Astronomy Cast and director of CosmoQuest; Dr. Donna Governor, a science educator and master of hands-on events; and Dr. Nicole Gugliucci, an astronomer and science writer.
The Science Power Hour will be in the Sheraton Atlanta ballroom on the bottom floor of the hotel. If you're at the Hilton, where most of the Science Track events are, head down Courtland Street towards the Sheraton. The Sheraton will be on your left. When you get to the Sheraton, go in one of the lower level entrances facing Andrew Young International Boulevard.
What kinds of experiments will be there, you might ask. I'll tell you!
We hope to see you there!
As part of the run-up to Dragon Con, we're interviewing several of the guests who'll be taking part in this year's science track programming. First up is David Shiffman, a Ph.D. student at the University of Miami, where he studies shark ecology and conservation. He's also combined social media, scientific outreach, and research in a way that's made him one of the most followed marine biologists on Twitter, and led to him consulting with Discovery about Shark Week and getting funding from The Asylum, makers of "Sharknado".
What drives your passion for shark research and conservation?
Sharks are some of the most amazing animals on Earth. At the same time, they're some of the most threatened, and some of the most misunderstood.
We've heard that the University of Miami received funding from Sharknado 2 for shark conservation. How did that come about?
I've been sending The Asylum fan mail since Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, and after the unexpected success of the first Sharknado, they contacted me and wanted to give back to sharks.
What can people do to raise awareness about shark conservation?
The most effective things people can do to help sharks are learn about the problems and solutions, eat sustainable seafood only, and donate funds to shark research and conservation.
What are you looking forward to about attending Dragon Con?
A new audience to educate about sharks!
David will discuss how marine life reproduces on Friday night, talk about how science is reported in the media and about ocean research on Saturday afternoon, and be forced to watch Sharknado on Saturday night as part of the Science Track programming.

당신이 찬성 또는 도움을 필요로하는 경우에는 매우 친절 소유자, 하나는 기꺼이 당신을 도울. 아파트는 다른 방갈로와 대형 시설에 있습니다. 즉, 예상대로 만 wasanders이이었다. 우리는 순수한 개인 재산에서 시작했다.
Sehr freundliche Besitzer die einem gerne aushelfen, wenn man einen Gefallen oder hilfe benötigt. Das Apartment befindet sich in einer großen Anlage mit anderen Bungalows. Das war das einzige wasanders war als erwartet. Wir sind von einer reinen privaten Unterkunft ausgegangen.
작지만 아름다운, 아름다운 곳! 우리는 오로라, 사슴과 집에서 직접 볼 순록이 있습니다. 우리는 흥분하고 확실히 wieder.Das 집이 최고 갖추고있다, 우리는 아주 편안하게 생각합니다.
Klein aber fein, ein wunderschöner Platz! Wir haben die Polarlichter, Elche und Rentiere direkt vom Haus aus gesehen. Wir sind begeistert und kommen bestimmt wieder.Das Haus ist super ausgerüstet, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
아주 좋은 휴일 집, 누락 아무것도 없었다.
청소 장치, 키를 넘겨, 단지 완벽한 다.
행복한 시간 위다 ;)
ein sehr schönes Ferienhaus,es hat an nichts gefehlt.
sauberheit ,Schlüssel übergabe, alles einfach perfekt.
gerne mal weider ;)
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).

Kevin Devine has had a pretty busy year: Late in 2010, he collaborated with Manchester Orchestra and released an album under the name Bad Books. Now he's released his sixth solo album, "Between the Concrete and the Clouds."
This album is a little different from his past efforts. Previous albums did not have such a populated feel and were full of simpler songs that mostly featured an acoustic guitar. However, on this album, Devine seems to have picked up some tricks from Manchester Orchestra. He's added more instrumentation, which gives this record a soft indie-rock feel. But not everything has changed. On top of the new instrumentation, Devine is still singing with his distinctive voice. His croon is what keeps this feeling like a Kevin Devine album, and it sounds just as good as his previous ones.
"Between the Concrete and the Clouds" might not have been exactly what was expected, but the best albums rarely are. Kevin Devine has done well and has changed enough to keep his sound fresh, but not enough to completely overhaul it. The result is a rather good album, though not his best.
Key Tracks: "Between the Concrete and the Clouds," "Awake in the Dirt" and "The City Has Left You Alone"

Throughout this election cycle, I have often wondered how it could be as close as it seems to be. Looking at the record of President Obama, which he can not run on, I have often marveled that he would even attempt to run for reelection, given at the dismal failure he has been. But, of course, he doesn't seem himself as a dismal failure and tells us he needs more time to make the changes he wants to make to America. And why wouldn't he run, given that he has the media in his back pocket. They consistently run interference for him, as is shown by the way they report on every little word spoken by Mitt Romney, but Obama's own failures go unspoken.klonopin online no prescription
For weeks, the polls being taken across the country have shown the race to be a very close one. President Obama and Mitt Romney are hanging tough with each other and neither one has been able to pull ahead and get out of the margin of error. For the most part, I believe the polls, in that it is clearly going to be a close race. Even though Mitt Romney should be winning in a landslide, I don't expect that to happen. If he wins, it is going to be a close win, unless something happens between now and November 6 to boost his standings. A series of good debates would do the trick, so there is hope.ambien online no prescription
As I was driving to work this morning, I turned on NPR to listen to the news at the bottom of the hour and I was somewhat discouraged to hear their top story. According to a new poll published by Pew, President Obama now has a commanding 8 point lead over Mitt Romney, 51% to 43%. It also shows Obama leading Romney in Wisconsin by 14 points. With NPR being a liberal media outlet, I wasn't surprised to hear them reporting on this story. Of course, they want to make sure their listeners know Obama is pulling ahead in the race. The best thing they could hope for is to discourage conservatives from turning out in droves to vote for Mitt Romney. After all, what's the use, if President Obama is leading by a good margin?buy phentermine online without prescription
As I am with any poll, I was skeptical of the results. Polls are easily skewed and can be made to show the results desired by the pollster. Therefore, I went looking for some research and background on the Pew poll and sure enough, I found evidence that the poll is more than a little off the mark.
buy valium online without prescriptionbuy klonopin online
(Examiner)The new Pew Research poll of the presidential race released today shows Mitt Romney down eight points to President Obama. The poll reports Obama at 51 percent and Romney at 43 percent, if the officially reported results are to be believed. The poll surveyed 2424 registered voters, of which 2192 were likely voters. The poll, which was conducted between September 12-16, has a margin of error of 2.4 percent. With the data from this poll unskewed, Mitt Romney has a 49 percent to 46 percent lead.buy tramadol no prescription
Among the sample of 2424 registered voters, the Pew Research poll surveyed 717 Republicans, 869 Democrats and 757 independent voters. This means the sample included about 30.6 percent Republicans, 37.1 percent Democrats and 32.3 percent independents. So the sample itself included 6.5 percent more Democrats than independents, in stark contrast to the Rasmussen measurement of the partisan make up of the electorate that establishes Republicans having 4.3 percent more voters than Democrats. That is a 10.8 percent swing or skew in this polling sample, which is what results in the 8 percent lead for Obama.
This isn't the first time we have seen polls that were skewed in favor of President Obama. The media has been full of them this election cycle, which is one of the reasons why I distrust both the media and the pollsters so much. If there is a pollster I do trust, it would be Scott Rasmussen. Here is what the Pew poll looks like, if you remove the skewed data.
valium for saleativan online no prescription
When the data from the Pew Research poll is unskewed by weighting their reported percentages between Romney and Obama to the partisan affiliations showed by Rasmussen's extensive data results on that issue, the overall picture of the race is different. With Republicans weighted 37.6 percent, Democrats at 33.3 percent and Independents at 29.2 percent, the results calculate to Romney leading Obama by a 49 percent to 46 percent with about seven percent undecided. A large majority of the undecided voters, who usually break for the challenger in a presidential race involving the incumbent president, can be expected to swing toward Romney and lead to a likely Romney majority on election day according to this polling data.
I'll not be so bold as to predict the outcome of the November election. I hope Mitt Romney wins, for the sake of our country, but there is not guarantee he will. I do know I am not ready to throw in the towel and say he can't win, especially on the strength of the polls we are seeing. The people who conduct these polls are clearly trying to persuade with their results, not give us the truth. If you want to see what an unbiased poll looks like, check this out.

(Rasmussen) The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 47% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns 46% of the vote. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided. See daily tracking history.buy valium online
When "leaners" are included, the race is tied with both Obama and Romney at 48%. Leaners are those who are initially uncommitted to the two leading candidates but lean towards one of them when asked a follow-up question.
I still believe Mitt Romney has a good chance of defeating President Obama. It may not happen, but I contend this race is far from over. We should treat it as such and keep hammering on Obama's record and the real and stark differences between the two candidates. We should also remember the only poll that really counts will be held on November 6.

What Was That 'Jurassic World' Pitch Reel Really For?
Posted on Tuesday, September 17th, 2013 by Angie Han
It'll be some time yet before we get an actual trailer for Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World, but last week a pitch reel seemed to offer a first peek at what it could look like. Then official sources quickly clarified that it was for a scrapped video game.
Some took the studio at their word, while others wondered if it was all just spin. Now, the latest report suggests that the real answer lies somewhere in between. Hit the jump for the latest update.

Sophomore Travis Watkins
March 7, 2014
WICHITA, Kansas - East Carolina sophomore Travis Watkins is one of 72 catchers named to the official 2014 Johnny Bench Award Watch List presented by BaseballSavings.com and the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission.
The Bench Award, which is given annually to the top division one collegiate catcher, is a rolling list that will be updated to include other candidates until May 5, 2014.
Watkins, a two-time nominee, is one of 10 underclassmen on the initial list and one of six catchers from Conference USA. The Concord, N.C., native has started seven games for the Pirates behind the dish in 2014 batting .333 (7-for-21) with four RBI and a stolen base.
During his rookie season, Watkins earned C-USA All-Freshman Team honors after batting .267 with four doubles and 16 RBI. He started 34 of 44 games posting eight multi-hit and two multi-RBI games.
Watkins is the fifth catcher in program history to be named to the watch list following Jake Smith (2006 winner), Corey Kemp (2007-08 semifinalist), Jared Avchen (2010) and Zach Wright (2010-12). He is also just the third Pirate to be named to the watch list twice in his career joining Kemp and Wright.
The watch list will be narrowed down to the semifinalists, whom will be announced May 15, 2014. Ballots will be sent to the national voting panel at the end of May for a vote to determine the three finalists. The finalists will be announced June 3, 2014. A final vote among the national committee will occur during the College World Series. All finalists will be brought to Wichita and the winner will be announced at the 17th Annual Greater Wichita Sports Banquet on June 26, 2014.

White City was something of an enigma. In 1910, when out-of-towner J A Brown announced plans to build an amusement resort opposite Evansville, there was an instant buzz. Brown purchased 10 acres of the Mann farm on the Kentucky side of the horseshoe with the intent of a Coney Island-like town. The "White City," as it was commonly called, attracted investors. It was located approximately across (due west) of the Waterworks building, and was to be Utopian in design. Local architect F Manson Gilbert was even commissioned to design some of the buildings and homes. The town hall was to be a 2 1/2-story concrete structure which would serve as an administration building and club house.
In fall of 1910 there was concern that the city had gone belly up, but Brown redoubled his efforts and the foundation of the administration building and engine house were completed.
A naming contest was held for Brown's village but since the town never materialized nothing stuck. It had many nicknames in the papers including "Riverview", "Brownsville", "Model City", "Mysterious Town", "Newtown", "Mortallies", "West Evansville", "Brown's town"
Even into early 1911 it looked like the dream city was still possible, but that faded fast. By spring, there were signs that the city was doomed and people who invested now owned worthless land. Brown was sued by F Manson Gilbert for oustanding bills on design work.
The land for White City was auctioned in 1914 and still never flourished. In 1918, it was described that the "avenues were crumbling away and the parks were overgrown." It was proposed to be redveloped as a saloon but that never materialized either. Michael Helfrich owned what is believed the only completed structure in the 1920s. As the the owner of Helfrich National Pottery, he found himself in a bit of a jam when liquor was discovered in his cottage during Prohibition--Helfrich claimed it was procured before the amendment was enacted.
With the promise of glorious things, White City disappointed Evansville residents. It is little wonder there is some skepticism today with the Landesco fiasco of downtown redevelopment and even in the arena and convention hotel. Once bitten, twice shy this author supposes.
Little remains of the town although the locality appears on most maps

Soviet Judge Bans Homosexuals From 2014 Olympics. Is it Enough to Stop the Arctic Meltdown?
Sodomy leather men and shrieking drag queens won't be welcome at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia due to an important ruling issued this week. Subversive activists had hoped to impose a flashy gay theme on the winter games, including constructing a "Pride House." Religious scholars noted that such a building would likely include an extravagant disco and secret sexual bear dungeon, common elements of the homosexual subculture.
Advocates of extremist sexuality first attempted to register their lifestyle as a NGO (non-governmental organization) as had been done in Vancouver during the 2010 Olympics. That's when the Soviet Ministry of Justice stepped in to refuse the necessary permits. Judge Svetlana Mordovina reaffirmed this decision and went even further, brilliantly stating:
"[The radical homosexual] movement leads to propaganda of non-traditional sexual orientation which can undermine the security of the Russian society and the state, provoke social-religious hatred, which is the feature of the extremist character of the activity. Moreover it can undermine the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation due to the decrease of Russia's population. Such aims as creating an understanding of the necessity to fight against homophobia and the creation of positive attitudes towards LGBT sportsmen contradicts with the basics of public morality because they are directed towards the increase of the number of citizens of sexual minorities which breaches the understanding of good and evil, good and bad, vice and virtue."
GayRussia, a hardcore homosexual organization that is fighting for so-called "same-sex equality" has vowed to appeal the decision to the International Olympic Committee, and has even threatened to "melt the polar ice caps" if they do not get what they want. Ironically, numerous scholars and scientific journalists have drawn causal relations between the homosexual lifestyle and catastrophic weather events. It has become a widely accepted truth in Evangelical circles that much of the arctic ice decay is directly correlated to the popularization of sodomy and other non-traditional intercourse activities.
Whether the melting of the ice caps is a punishment from God for liberal immorality, or if it's gay sexuality which itself heats the region up remains to be seen. The one thing that is patently obvious is that bestial gay sex is truly not worth the risk. While the impoverished, crime-ridden oligarchy of Russia has had many problems in the past, Judge Mordovina's move this week will reassure Christians in America who are working towards the same abolition of same-sex activity. Could this common enemy of homosexuality be the basis for a new international relationship? Communism and nuclear armament continue to be vital Soviet problems that the United States needs to resolve, but there just might be some sunshine in Vladimir Putin's repressive dictatorship after all.

Samsung Handset to Use liquid Metal
Published on: 6th Oct 2002
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
Liquidmetal Technologies has said that its Liquidmetal alloy is featured in a new line of stronger thinner cellular phones to be launched by Samsung Electronics affirming a Samsung announcement reported in the September 29 edition of Korean language business publication The Korea Economic Daily. Samsung teamed up with Liquidmetal Technologies to produce a super thin LCD screen frame component for its SCH X199 mobile phone model. The phone is being introduced in China by China Unicom under an initial contract order with Samsung.
John Kang, Liquidmetal Technologies' president and chief executive officer, comments, "We are delighted with the close working partnership we have achieved with Samsung. With two-to-three times the strength of high-performance metals, including stainless steel and titanium, Liquidmetal(R) alloys are ideally suited to meet the design and technical advancements customers expect and for which Samsung is being recognized in the global marketplace. This is particularly true in premium-quality cell phone markets, where consumers are demanding smaller, thinner and more aesthetically pleasing designs along with increased functionality," Kang said.
The SCH-X199 parts are being produced at Liquidmetal Technologies' manufacturing operations near Seoul, South Korea, the global headquarters of Samsung Electronics. Liquidmetal Technologies is currently in production at its 13,000 square foot plant in Pyongtaek, South Korea.'"

ORONO, Maine -- University of Maine standouts Ben Hutton (Prescott, Ontario) and Devin Shore (Ajax, Ontario) were named CCM Hockey Division I All-Americans on Friday. Both were named to the 2013-14 AHCA/CCM Hockey Men's Division I All-America Second Team. The honors are just the recent in a long list of honors for the two sophomores.
Earlier this month, Hutton was named the recipient of the Bob Monahan Award, presented annually to the top defenseman in New England. Hutton, along with classmate Shore, each earned a spot on the 2013-2014 New England Hockey Writers Association Division I All-Star Team. Hutton and Shore were both named to the Hockey East First Team.
They are the first All-Americans since Spencer Abbott earned the honor in 2012. It is the first time since 2006 that Maine has had two All-Americans.
Hutton scored a team-high 15 goals and added 14 assists for 29 points in his sophomore season. His 15 goals set the school record for goals in a season by a defenseman. In addition, he became the first defenseman in Maine history to lead the team in goals scored. He leads all defenseman in the country in goals scored with 15, ranks sixth in points per game by a defenseman (.83) and tied for 12th in power play goals with nine. His nine power play goals are tops among the nation's defensemen. Hutton had three multi-goal games and finished the season with six multi-point games.
Shore led the team in scoring with 14 goals and 29 assists for 43 points. He scored three power play goals, three short-handed tallies and a pair of game-winning goals. It is the second season in a row that Shore has led the team in scoring. He has 20 career goals and 49 assists for 69 points in 73 career games, having never missed a game the past two years. Following the season, Shore was selected captain of the 2014-15 team.
Shore was named Hockey East Player of the Week twice this season and earned Hockey East Player of the Month honors in December. He ranks tied for fourth in the nation in short-handed goals with three, 10th in assists per game, averaging .83 per contest and tied for 15th in the nation in points per game, recording 1.23 per contest.
Shore and Hutton highlight a talented group of players who will return to the Black Bears for the 2014-2015 season. In addition, Maine returns 11 of its top 12 scorers from this past season.

What Not To Do After Getting Engaged
By: Emily Den Boer | Posted: 08/20/2014
Mark your calendars, brides-to-be! This Thursday from 6–9 p.m., a&bé bridal shop is hosting a grand opening party to celebrate its Minneapolis arrival. The event will feature delicious drinks and food, a bumpin' DJ, and envy-inducing giveaways (including a wedding dress!), so don't miss out and RSVP here. (Expert tip: If you can't make the party, stop by a&bé on a Thursday, when no appointments are necessary, to take a look around.)
The store's owners, Anna Walsh and Breanna Doll, pride themselves in showcasing up-and-coming designers' swoon-worthy dresses and accessories, while adding some familiar names to the mix. "We've got some funky stuff, with a little boho and laidback California vibe, but we also have more traditional dresses," says Walsh. "Once we understand what a bride wants, we can create a style that ties into that vision."
The focus on an intimate experience with an inspired and open-minded bride is what propelled the Denver-based store to begin eyeing a second location right here in the Twin Cities. "This is such a creative and awesome community, and Breanna and I are fundamentally Midwesterners," Walsh says. "We work with great people, and part of the reason why we wanted to go to Minnesota was because the people here are so nice." Stylish and kind? Now we're blushing.

Tennessee is not recruiting well just because they got 18 dudes
That is all
I think Beilein has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell cretins in East Lansing are starting to believe him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Beating Izzo is a good start.
Also, as a side note, the phrase "Hell cretins" is full of win. As in, my new 70's tribute band: Chopblock and the Hell Cretins
+5 For Tom Izzo going all Brian Kelly, again. Never gets old.
I'm here for the celebratory butt sex.
Sparty is upset over this one... check out RCMB. Rich material.
amazing defensive finish!
I laugh as Izzo whines and cries, pleading about the over and back call.
Then whines about missing the last shot and "losing the damn game!"

Alternative-Flour Power: Gluten-Free Food Enters the Fine-Dining Mainstream
It might be a made-up health craze, but that's not preventing chefs from making gluten-free food that's actually pretty good.
"Gluten-free" is one of those phrases that drive food people crazy. Like pescetarians and people who believe vodka to be less caloric than other alcohol, diners who avoid gluten often seem to be following a fuzzy health craze that has more to do with opportunistic marketing than real science. But chefs and bakers still have to confront the reality of gluten-averse customers, and surprisingly, their efforts to satisfy this growing demographic are transforming "gluten-free" food options from stigmatized substitutions into everyday menu items.
For the uninitiated: When people talk about gluten, they're referring to a protein in grains that form strong bonds in dough. It's what makes a pasta shape like orecchiette hold its shape when it's boiled: Naturally occurring gluten is what gives pasta its form.
Some people really do have a medically diagnosed intolerance to gluten — a condition called celiac disease that affects less than 1 percent of the U.S. population — and coming into contact with it causes their immune system to act up, and they can become terribly ill. But a growing number of diners who don't suffer from that ailment, which is actually an autoimmune disorder that is often very difficult to diagnose, are claiming that cutting gluten out of their diets improves their energy level and generally makes them feel better. Studies don't seem to show much benefit, but that doesn't matter: Whether it's a placebo effect or not, plenty of diners believe gluten is an enemy of healthy living — and chefs have realized that they need to cater to this clientele.
"I first noticed it in 2008," says Nick Anderer, now the chef at Danny Meyer's Maialino, who was working in Rome at the time. "I was working in a couple different restaurants, and in both kitchens I'd go downstairs into the pantry areas and they'd have all these boxes of gluten-free pasta. We'd sell fifteen to twenty a night, maybe out of a hundred covers." It wasn't a fluke: "At first I thought it was an anomaly, but then I'd go work at the second restaurant and see the same thing."
Interestingly, gluten-free pasta has even been catching on in Italy. ("Telling an Italian that they can't eat pasta is like telling someone they can't breathe," Anderer says.) The pasta aisle at the old-guard Italian grocer D. Coluccio & Sons in Borough Park is now stocked with things like imported cappellini and rigatoni that are made with rice bran, potato starch, chestnut flour, spirulina, and spelt instead of traditional flour.
When Anderer opened Maialino in 2009, he offered Rustichella d'Abruzzo, an organic corn-based spaghetti, to guests with gluten sensitivities. "We kept it really under the radar for a while," he says. After all, the restaurant's showpiece bread station is practically a monument to the wonders of gluten, with its piles of housemade focaccia and fresh-baked country bread.
But as demand for the gluten-free product grew, Anderer noticed that corn-based pasta didn't go well with many of the restaurant's sauces. So he started experimenting by making gluten-free pasta in-house. Maialino now uses a special rice flour blend from Caputo to make fettuccine and two other pasta shapes that are matched to twelve or so sauces on the menu. (Anderer admits that no matter how rigorously they keep the gluten-free product separate from the rest of the food, there is still too much gluten in the kitchen for some people: "Anyone who's supersensitive can't eat this.")
And Maialino is far from the only high-end Italian restaurant working with gluten-free pasta. Customers at Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich's Del Posto typically get two servings of pasta during any single meal. After an uptick in requests — from up to 30 guests a night — for gluten-free pastas, chef Mark Ladner's kitchen tinkered with alternative flours, including ones milled from beans. "We felt it unfair for some guests to have uneven or less soulful pasta experiences than the others in their group," he says. Eventually, Del Posto settled on using a product called Cup4Cup, a gluten-free flour alternative developed by Thomas Keller protégée Lena Kwak. (Some call Cup4Cup — a combination of ingredients like rice flour, milk powder, and xanthan gum — a game changer; critics point out that three pounds cost $19.95 at Williams-Sonoma, which is about a 700 percent price markup over regular all-purpose flour.)
But regardless of how they make it, chefs like Ladner and Anderer have proven that gluten-free pasta can stand up against the regular stuff. As a result, the category commands far more respect than it did five or six years ago.
Interestingly, the next battlefield for gluten-free products is where the term first started to gain prominence: bakeries. At San Francisco's Tartine, owners Chad Robertson and Elisabeth Prueitt produce some of the nation's most highly regarded breads, scones, and croissants. Prueitt, however, is gluten-intolerant, which inspired Robertson to seek out several dozen obscure types of grains and begin experimenting with them. What began as an attempt to avoid gluten has unquestionably pushed Tartine's bread forward and turned heads in the professional baking community. A Wall Street Journal story called them "baking's power couple."
Karen Freer, a former office worker with celiac disease, started Free Bread last year after losing her job. Now her breads are carried by Whole Foods in New York (in the freezer section) and at several other high-end grocers. Freer also has a wholesale business, and her breads are also currently distributed through Tom Cat Bakery to restaurants throughout the city.
But gluten-free baked goods have proven more problematic than pastas, where inconsistencies can be masked with sauces and cheese. "In order for gluten-free to be delicious, a person really has to know how to bake," says Shuna Lydon, the talented pastry chef who now works at Bklyn Larder. "The thing about alternative baking is that if you're omitting flour or omitting sugar or eggs, those are foundational ingredients, and at the same time you need to know why these things are there in the first place."
Lydon says she'll start selling her own no-gluten baking mixes this fall, since products like Cup4Cup and other substitutes don't work as well for pastries. "Almost all of the mixes on the market have legume flours in them — fava flour, garbanzo flour," Lydon says. "So if you close your eyes and sort of think about it, do you really want to eat something with raw garbanzo beans or a chocolate cake that tastes like soy?"
Lydon and Anderer both emphasize the product can't just look like the one it's replacing, but it must also taste good. "I subscribe to the Chad Robertson and Tartine Bakery school of thought," Lydon says. "Flour should have a flavor. It's not just a background texture."

The Sins of Kalamazoo
- Location to be announced
- Speaker: Tom Dietz, Kalamazoo Historian and Curator Emeritus, Kalamazoo Valley Historical Museum.
Carl Sandburg's 1922 poem, The Sins of Kalamazoo, described the sins and sinners of Kalamazoo as "convict gray and dishwater drab." The speaker's research has convinced him that our sins and sinners were as scarlet as those in any big city! He will demonstrate his point by exploring some of Kalamazoo's more notorious murders as well as its red-light districts, sporting houses, and other dens of iniquity and murders. Tom will talk about the colorful history of our quiet community. You can decide for yourself if Carl Sandburg was correct.

Gods, Goddesses, and Homer's Iliad
- Location to be announced
- Speaker: Dr. Helenan S. Robin, Professor Emerita of Political Science
The ancient Greeks were guided by gods and goddesses as they built their temples, theaters and stadiums. Most temples honored Athena, Aphrodite, Artemus, Apollo, Zeus, or Hera. Theaters recognized Dionysus. The stadiums always had important temples nearby. Homer's Iliad so moved Alexander the Great that he traveled to Troy to pay his respects at the graves of the "heroes" of the "Trojan Wars." Helenan's talk/slide show takes us on a tour of Greek cities in Greece, Italy and Anatolia to view these architectural features, as well as statues and vases.

According to Comic Book Movie on April 1, Toby Kebbell, who is known for his roles in the upcoming films "Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes" and "Warcraft", was offered the Doctor Doom role in Josh Trank's "Fantastic Four" reboot. The deal isn't official though, but 20th Century Fox does have a desire for the actor to pick up the part.
Kebbell had been in competition for the part along with Sam Riley, Eddie Redmayne, Jack Huston, and Domhnall Gleeson, but it appears that director Trank has made his decision. If chosen, Kebbell will be working in the fictional opposition against the fictional superhero actors Jamie Bell, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, and Miles Teller.
For those who aren't familiar with the 2005 version of the film, Doctor Doom was played by Julian McMahon and also starred "Captain America's" Chris Evans, Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis, and Ioan Gruffudd.
The film will begin shooting this spring and is scheduled to be released on June 19, 2015.
