Tuscan Lemon Muffins with Lemon Glaze
Wow, where did this week go? It just flew by! What are my plans for the weekend? Well, it is time to start purging things in our apartment to get ready for our big move. I love purging. It feels so nice to get rid of things I don't need or want anymore. But, packing…oh packing…Not my favorite. If any of you want to come help pack, I will pay you in food. Maybe these muffins…
You know I love all things lemon so what could be better than lemon muffins?! These muffins are a little unique because they are not made with butter or vegetable oil, they are made with olive oil! If I could make the recipe better, I would say add a little more sugar and more lemon which is what I have done with the recipe for you. I only used 1/2 cup sugar and while I usually don't like a lot of sweetness, I felt these needed more. To compensate, I added some lemon glaze which actually ended up making these muffins even better. But, if you don't want the glaze, you could certainly leave it out! Oh, and don't overmix. I always do this…baking is just not my thang, but I try…
Tuscan Lemon Muffins with Lemon Glaze
Yield: 12 muffins
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 16 minutes
Total Time: 31 minutes
For the muffins:
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1 egg, lightly beaten

- 2-3 tbs. lemon juice
- 1/2 tbs. lemon zest
For the muffins:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine the four, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
- In a separate bowl, add the beaten egg, ricotta cheese, olive oil, water, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir to combine.

Back on March 25, 2009 I wrote "Phone Moisture sensor: I am pretty peeved at Apple right now" about my issues with my iPhone 3G and the experience that I had with the Genius bar at the Apple store telling me that my warranty was void due to the fact that my moisture sensor in the bottom USB port was activated (turned red). After that post, my iPhone and I received a lot of attention. I had known from Googling that I was not the only one with the issue. There are tons of people that have never gotten their iPhone "submerged" in water, but yet their sensors are tripped thus voiding their warranty.
I work for a major University and we use ATT as our primary cell provider. We give them a LOT of business. In my position, I am often contacted for advice when folks are looking to get new phones. After a couple of calls from me and folks higher up than me to ATT and Apple, Apple agreed to replace my phone and use my damaged phone as a test case. The tech that I spoke to said that they would call me once they had time to dissect my phone and tell me whether or not the phone showed signs of being submerged. The iPhone has 4 moisture sensors, one inside the USB connector port, one in the headphone jack, and 2 inside the phone were users cannot reach. If the phone had been completely submerged in water as Apple claims would have to happen for the sensors to turn red, the 2 sensors inside the phone would be triggered. I heard back from the same guy once about a month after my initial report just to tell me that they did not forget about me, things had been busy and they would be in touch. However, I never heard back regarding whether or not my phone has passed the test. Why? I can only guess it's because it did not show signs of being submerged. I would assume that they would have been quick to call and tell how the sensors INSIDE the phone were tripped and how I was wrong in my theory that the sensors were faulty, or just too exposed.
I was contacted by Lisa France of CNN.com who published the story Moisture, cold irritate some smart phone users. That story caused some major backlash from Apple fanboys in the comments on many websites and blogs, and lots of attention from those that had also encountered a problem with their iPhones and moisture. Some people had nothing nice to say going as far as to say that those of us that had gotten our phones wet were stupid. Well of course we would expect the phone to act crazy had we gotten them wet and the warranty should indeed be void in that case, but that is NOT what this is about. This is about phones that do NOT get wet. Some people in humid areas like the lower United States are having their sensors triggered just by walking around outside on a hot day.
Since my original posts I have received a ton of emails, comments, and inquiries from others with the same exactly issue. Since that was before the release of the new model iPhone 3Gs, I was hoping that Apple would modify the design on that one so that this would not continue to be a problem, but they did not. What they did do was alter their iPhone warranty policy as it relates to iPhones with tripped sensors.

A mom is furious after her daughter's high school teacher read her private text messages out loud to the class. Apparently this is the teacher's policy if the kids are caught texting or if a text comes in while they are in class, he reads it to the entire class, according to The Inquisitr on July 6.
While this might be a policy that works to keep kids off their electronic devices and paying more attention to class work, there are circumstances when the text messages shouldn't be read out loud. Case in point: the teen's mom texting her about her grandfather's funeral arrangements.
The teacher also read some very personal messages between the teen and her boyfriend, which were embarrassing in nature. The mother is furious over this teacher's gall and she wants to take action over this, but apparently she is not too sure on just how to do this, so she asked for help.
The website Mansfield Uncovered reports that this happened in Mansfield and the mother's name is Patricia Mitchell. She told Mansfield Uncovered that since this happened, her daughter is the brunt of jokes and taunting from the other kids in school.
She penned a letter to the local newspaper explaining her plight. The mother told them how the teacher mortified her 15-year-old daughter by reading some very personal text messages to the class as punishment for receiving text messages in class. She emphasized the text messages that she herself sent to her daughter regarding the funeral arrangements of the teen's grandfather.
She said her instinct is to call the police and the school requesting an investigation around this teacher's policy regarding text messages. At the end of the letter she asked if there was anything that can be done about this.
Well as far as the newspaper answering the woman, that is unknown, but it was apparent this mom is furious and probably not going to stop until she is heard by the powers-who-be and they do something about it.
It is understandable that this teacher wants to stop the text messaging during class and this seems as if it would work as a deterrent for the kids, possibly enough of one that they will turn their phones off when they enter his classroom. If the deterrent is the embarrassment he bestowed on this teenage girl, then maybe it isn't something he should be doing.
The problem about reading these messages out loud is that kids can be cruel and depending how personal the message is, the teacher can be setting this kid up to be bullied. If the boyfriend's messages were of those of a sappy nature from a lovelorn kid, then you'll now have two kids getting ridiculed, the teen and her boyfriend.
The Inquisitr suggest that common sense dictates that as the adult and teacher, he might want to read the content first before reading it out loud to the class. That wasn't done in this case. It is apparent that the teacher is trying to keep the kids present while in the classroom, but is this the way to do it?

ADS Opens New Michigan Plant
Manufacturing & distribution site will increase service & supply in Northeast Michigan
Advanced Drainage Systems Inc. (ADS), celebrated its newest manufacturing facility with a grand opening event that saw more than 150 people in attendance. Located in Clifford, Mich., the plant has already increased the local availability of the company's products in Northeast Michigan and Southwestern Ontario. This is the company's second pipe production facility in Michigan, complementing the existing plant located in Owosso.
"This area is especially strong in the demand for our single wall agricultural pipe," said Joe Chlapaty, chairman and CEO of ADS. "Farmers have just gone through one of the roughest drought periods of all time. A field water management system cannot only blunt the effects of a drought but can also increase crop yield by 25%."
The new Clifford plant is part of ADS' $10 million capital investment announced in 2011 to add pipe production capacity to the region. Part of ADS' network of 55 manufacturing locations world-wide, it now has 15 employees in a 25,000 sq ft facility.
"As we increase production, we'll add employees," Chlapaty said.

Vote for freedom? What does that mean? If you vote for bigger government role
to tell you what you can and cannot do. What you should and shouldn't do.
How much you can make, how much you should donate....is that freedom?
Is freedom not having government at all? Allowing those that are the most powerful and have the ability to subdue others to their will.
Is freedom finding the right balance between government and choosing your own destiny? Where government protects your rights and freedoms, but allows you to make as much money or as little as you want. A government that doesn't tell you what you can or cannot buy. A government that serves the people and not special interest groups.
This is the great American experiment with freedom. Hopefully, we allow ourselves to free ourselves of over protective, nurturing and caring government. Which has increased our national debt and deficit to unbelievable levels. And find a better balance of government that consumes less taxes, gives us enough services that we can find our own paths, and find a way to pay down the debt.

Huh? "I will not share my political opinions widely nor loudly. Not because
I do not care about who is elected, but because I care more about preserving the
freedom to choose." So voicing your concerns aloud, putting out signs in
the yard, trying to educate others about government and the people involved is
somehow not caring about preserving the freedom to choose? I believe that is
naïve. Our freedom to vote in this country has been challenged on many
occasions. Even your right to vote as a woman came about because many
sacrificed, risked reticule of others, wore signs and voiced out loud and strong
that this needed to change.
As Ronald Reagan put it: Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.'
We are in that situation NOW. Captain Moroni did have a yard sign and was vocal.

West Texas A&M University at one point went 20 games under current head coach Ronnie Jones without returning a punt for a touchdown.
In the Buffs' last four games, dating back to Nov. 8, 2003, at Eastern New Mexico, Jason Jones has returned two for TDs, including a 66-yarder Saturday against nationally ranked Central Oklahoma.
"The one last week was pretty much a surprise, but one that was achieved because of great all-out effort," said Jones, who doubles as the Buffs' special teams coach. "We had an all-out punt block called, so Jason was pretty much on his own. What happened was we got five great blocks that helped spring him.
"Dominique Carter got the first block that enabled Jason to make the initial move after he caught the ball. Next, we got three blocks that I call 'de-cleaters.' They put Central Oklahoma players flat on their back and helped spring Jason for the touchdown. They were delivered by Keith Green, Darrell Lewis and Adam Sipes.
"And finally, Larry Wilson blocked their punter out of the way, enabling Jason to get into the end zone."
Last year, Jones returned 10 punts for 108 yards. He has returned two this season for 76 yards, giving him a total of 12 for 184 yards (a 15.3 average) and the two TDs.
Jones, a sophomore defensive back from Killeen, had a late afternoon class Tuesday and was unavailable to comment.
"You don't have to possess blinding speed to be a good punt returner," Ronnie Jones said. "The key thing is to first be able to consistently catch the ball. Next you need to make a quick decision.
"I think it's more difficult to return punts than kickoffs. On punts, the return guy usually has opposing players bearing down on him full speed. On kickoffs, the returner has more room with which to operate.
"Jason is pretty sure-handed, has excellent quickness and is able to see the field in front of him."
Jones said returning either for a touchdown, or huge gain, can often turn the momentum of a game completely around.
"That didn't happen the other night," he said. "Central Oklahoma had the game in hand (38-20 at the time), but it did give our players a tremendous boost late in the fourth quarter.
"I think it showed that our players will never quit trying to make a big play, no matter what the score is. I know it gave a large crowd (10,289 at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium) a big charge."
Last season, WT ranked first in the Lone Star Conference in kickoff returns, averaging 22.7 yards with one TD. The Buffs were 10th in punt returns at 7.6 yards, with the one touchdown.
This season, the Buffs are 10th in kickoff returns (15.3) and second in punt returns (24.0).

Check your tires and grease up your chains, writers of Boulder--Bike to Work Month is upon us!
Organized by the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) and as part of the WayToGo program, every June is Bike to Work Month in the greater Denver area. The main event of the season is Bike to Work Day, celebrated on the 4th Wednesday in June with group rides and challenges, free breakfast stations along common commutes, and other initiatives motivating locals to get out of their cars and onto their bicycles. But the weeks leading up to the big day are not without event. For instance, every Wednesday from May 21 until Bike to Work Day is Bike to Work Wednesday.
Guess what day today is?!
You're not too late to participate. And you don't need to have a traditional 9-5 office job to join in. If you're normally a work-at-home writer, consider taking your work-in-progress out on the road to your favorite coffee shop, tap room, library, or co-working location. Just do it by bike, and you're good to go.
The first step is to register with WayToGo via the 2014 Bike to Work Wednesdays portal. Visit the Bike to Work Wednesdays portal, linked above, and click the button that says "Track Your Rides." Or simply click here. You'll be prompted to login--you can create a login using your email address, or you can connect via Facebook.
Once you're logged in and viewing your desktop, you'll be able to log your trips. You can use the "Start" and "Destination" forms to get a recommended bike routes and their more-or-less exact mileage, along with estimates of how long the trip will take and how many calories you'll burn on the way. Jot down that mileage and take it with you back to your dashboard, where you can use the "Log Your Trip" interface to do just that. Click on the day of your trip on the calendar, select One Way or Round Trip, then fill in the departure time (and return time, if it's round trip), distance traveled or to be traveled (if round trip, you'll still enter the mileage for the one-way journey), and mode of travel.
Mode of travel? Isn't that going to be "bike" every time? Not necessarily--your WayToGo Dashboard can be used to track all of your trips, whether you drive alone, ride in a carpool, walk, bike, or "Telework / Skip the Trip." (That last category will be of especial interest to writers who work from home. "Here's the drive across town I could have made to go to that downtown cafe, but I decided to stay home and work from my kitchen table. Check out how much money I saved!") Bike to Work Wednesday is only one of many programs you can participate in.
But since you're participating in Bike to Work Wednesdays, you'll be happy to hear that you can win prizes! According to the Bike to Work Wednesdays website...
Weekly winners will receive a BikeDenver prize package including:
Denver B-Cycle membership
BikeDenver T-Shirt *Annual AAA Colorado membership
Grand prize winners will receive one of the following prizes:
Electra Cruiser Bike from Bicycle Village
$50 Gift Cards from Bicycle Village
Denver B-Cycle Primal Jersey
Lastly, if you only bike to work one Wednesday through the season, make it June 25. Join a group ride, or just leave a little early so you have time to visit a station on the way. Here's a list of all stations in Boulder who'll serve you a bite or a sip on that day to help fuel your human-powered commute. Breakfast stations will be open from 6:30-9:00 a.m., while stations serving your ride home will be open from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Don't miss the bike party at the Boulder Farmer's Market!
Important note: WayToGo/Bike to Work Wednesdays and Bike to Work 2014 are two separate entities as far as logins go. If you've registered to log your Wednesday bike commutes at WayToGo, you will still need to create a login for Bike To Work Day if you want to...
- Order a participant T-shirt!
- Join a company team! (e.g. day job, co-working community, volunteer location...)
- Invite a friend to participate!
- Save group rides, stations and events to your dashboard!
Weather and equipment permitting, we'll see you on the ride!

Inescapable Movie Reviews
User reviews on Inescapable
Hmmmm...Marisa Tomei as a Syrian seductress? Okay, I'll buy it. But one thing I couldn't buy was the way this movie shifted between family drama and Stallone-style action thriller that felt totally disjointed. I'm not sure if they were trying to make a slick big budget style cat and mouse chase story or a movie about a father's quest to bring his daughter home. The thing that was really good about the movie was its performances. All of the cast is superb, especially the lead actor who sinks his teeth into the role like you won't believe. I remember seeing him in Miral and a couple of other movies and thinking he was really good. But in this one he shows a whole different side to his personality. He's actually kinda...sexy, lol. I like the whole thing about him and Marisa Tomei's character Fatima rekindling their romance. It was sweet and effective in terms of the story. I wouldn't recommend seeing it in the theater but it's worth a dvd rental.
I loved this movie sooo much! I think some of the best movies to have come out in the last few years have been set in the Middle East- movies like Miral, Syriana, and Paradise Now. This one is not really about the Middle East issues so much as it is about the quest of a father to find his daughter. As a parent, I totally related to the lengths he went to try and bring her home when she gets lost in his native Syria. The actor who plays the lead is the same one who played the father in Miral, and he is joined in this movie by Joshua Jackson and Marisa Tomei. Jackson is okey dokey (haven't seen him in a minute) but Tomei really steals the show as the lead's ex flame who helps him find the whereabouts of his daughter. In the end, this is kind of a typical action thriller but it's touching in unexpected ways because of the father-daughter connection. It's also appropriate for teens over 16, I would say.
Syria has been in the global daily headlines for years now, with the reigning Assad regime waging a war against its own citizens that has left tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) dead and displaced. Because the current headlines are so real and horrifying, the story of Inescapable feels like the cheapest form of escapism.
The movie begins in Toronto where a successful businessman named Adib hailing from Syria has raised two fine daughters. One of them goes missing after a trip abroad and is being held somewhere inside Syria. By whom and for what reason is never fully explained – are we to assume that no single women can pass safely through the Middle East? Inescapable says "Stay away, ladies!"
But one lady who is there is Fatima (Marisa Tomei) who used to be involved with Adib back in his youth. She's mysterious and well-connected, which, in movie language, means that she will be integral to saving the girl.
The story then gets very convoluted – we meet all sorts of bizarre international types, including foreign hoods, Israeli spies, and a state minister with a pronounced fondness of young men and boys. Adib gets his chance to tell all of them off, or beat them up, or both. It's kind of silly when you think of all the real Syrians that are dying for their basic human rights.
The movie, I am told, was shot in South Africa, which may explain why it feels decidedly disjointed. The writing in clumsy, but the acting is quite good, much better than the words that are given to its cast. Sadly, the film fails to do what it set out to do: prove that individual Syrians are capable of being more than pawns to be crushed by power-grabbing oppressors.

Sweet Home Alabama
This weekend SCSU will invade the state of Alabama as the #1 ranked SCSU wrestling team sends nine individuals to compete in the NCAA Championships. The Division II National Championship takes place in Birmingham. Those nine wrestlers will each earn points as they advance through the tournament. Those points determine the overall national championship status for the SCSU wrestling team. SCSU has finished as the National runner up the last two seasons. The KVSC Sports Department will provide coverage of the National Championship matches this weekend on the Sports Stream.
Also in Birmingham this weekend will be the SCSU Men's and Women's Swimming and Dive teams. A total of 15 Swimmers have qualified and been invited to the 2013 NCAA Winter Championships.

What Marketers Need to Know About Google's Big Search Upgrade
Google's new "Search plus Your World" service, introduced this week, will have a big effect on search marketing. It'll make traditional search marketing less important, while making it even more important for marketers to recruit brand advocates on social media.
Google this week introduced a big new change to its flagship search service, tightly integrating Google+ social connections. The changes are threefold, as explained by Google Fellow Amit Singhal on the company blog.
Personal Results displays information users share on Google+, including their own photos and posts and items shared with them by people in their Google+ circles. So, for example, if a user searches for information on shoes, she might see a link to a shoe product page that she posted in the past, or one that someone in her Circles shared with her.
The challenge for marketers: Get their products shared by brand advocates on Google+.
Question: If a Google+ user Circles a brand page, and that page shares content, does that content also show up in future searches by the user, the same as if it was shared by an individual person whom the user had Circled? I've asked Google, and I'll post an answer in the comments if and when I get it.
Update 1/12: I have my answer from Google; they're posted here.
Profiles in Search, in both autocomplete and the search results, serve to find people the user is close to or might be interested in following. Question: Will this feature also apply to brand pages, so if a consumer starts typing F-O-R, he might be directed to the Ford Motor Company brand page?
If this feature applies to brand pages, consumers running Google searches on brand names or related subjects ("cars," in the Ford example) might find themselves directed to a Google+ brand page rather than the corporate Website.
People and Pages, whereby Google search will suggest profiles and Google+ pages related to a specific topic or area of interest that a user searches on, and the user can easily follow those profiles and pages. Marketers will want to make sure their brands are featured in those recommendations -- but how? Get lots of people to Circle the brands, post lots of compelling content... is there anything else?
SearchEngineLand's Danny Sullivan does his usual painstaking explanation of the details of Search plus Your World (which tech bloggers have cleverly nicknamed "Search+.")
Social connectivity is a great way to serve search needs. Links shared by a person's friends are more likely to be useful to the person doing the search. Google has been integrating social connections into search results for years -- this is just the latest, big step. Likewise, other Search+ features are also promising. But what about Twitter and Facebook? Linking search results with those social networks would also improve Google search, perhaps even more so than linking to Google+, because those services are more mature and well established. But Google won't search those services; it says those services won't allow it.
Search+ is likely to raise antitrust concerns by government prosecutors, writes blogger M.G. Siegler. Indeed, Twitter expressed concern over Search+, and Google has responded.
What do you think? How can marketers use Search+?

Mormon scholar explains the historical difficulty created by the Golden Plates
SALT LAKE CITY — Historian Richard L. Bushman wants "to bring the Gold Plates out of hiding."
The record that Joseph Smith said he translated the Book of Mormon from is a token of God entering history, similar to Moses parting the Red Sea or Christ's resurrection, Bushman said.
Still, Mormons are sometimes reluctant to talk about the Golden Plates.
"I want to show that they are a powerful, resonant, sacred object that can be (compared) to other sacred objects in other religions … and that it has profound religious meaning," Bushman said Oct. 23 at Book of Mormon Lands Conference.
Bushman, author of "Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling," says people wanted to know what his next project was after he finished the biography on the Mormon Prophet. "Another book on Joseph Smith?" "Are you moving on to Brigham Young?"
"And I had no answer until suddenly, about a year ago it flashed into my mind the idea of writing a book about the Gold Plates," Bushman said.
Bushman told a crowded ballroom at the eighth annual conference, sponsored by the Book of Mormon Archaeological Forum, that the Golden Plates are a "luminous, magnetic, irresistible object" in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
They also divide scholars more than any of Joseph Smith's claimed visions. Bushman said the plates are the hinge of the great question of whether Joseph Smith was sincere or a fraud.
"Had Joseph Smith only seen visions, he could have been classed with Cotton Mather, Charles G. Finney, Ellen G. White, Ann Lee and scores of others who saw visions in his time along with hundreds of other visionaries down through the ages," Bushman said.
Skeptics and rationalists can account for visions, Bushman said, as being merely psychological or cultural. This allows them to think kindly towards visionaries as people who sincerely believed, even though they were sadly mistaken.
Accepting Joseph Smith's Golden Plates is another story.
"They are material, not visionary and psychological," Bushman said. "They make the claim that the supernatural has entered the natural world. If you don't believe in the supernatural, they are impossible."
This, then, is the historical difficulty of the plates. Accounts of hiding the plates, wrapping the plates with cloth, showing the plates and translating from the plates become nothing more than one long attempt at fraud and make everything else Joseph Smith did doubtful. "Like a beggar claiming to have a diamond that he allows nobody to see," Bushman said.
On the other hand, Bushman said, the plates can be the most convincing evidence of Joseph's authenticity. "Joseph — or the Lord — came closest to offering concrete evidence of supernatural intervention in the provision for witnesses of the plates," Bushman said.
Eleven people said they saw the plates and printed their statements in the Book of Mormon. Bushman said that normally Joseph Smith didn't try to prove his claims, but this exception was like legal depositions in answer to skeptics.
"So in the plates we have joined the two characterizations of Joseph Smith," Bushman said, "the fraud and the prophet, with the plates as the hinge between the two. This material proof for unbelievable claims causes (the plates) to hover on the boundary between chicanery and rationality, fantasy and reality."
Bushman explored how the Golden Plates, if real, invite a look at the ancient world from which they purport to come. "I believe the plates cause us to reevaluate history as it is known to modern scholarship."

The Winthrop Town Council accomplished little more than a good discussion at their council meeting last week – after being asked to consider the addition of speed indicator signs in town.
Winthrop Mayor, Dave Acheson, told KOZI that the meeting was pretty short and fairly uneventful.
The speed indicator sign issue comes to light as a State funded project gets underway in town- offering the possibility that at least one sign could be funded as part of the project.
Mayor Acheson says the work is on Castle Avenue- a main street through the residential portion of town.
The project is expected to be wrapped up by early June."CLICK HERE" for Audio

Released in February 1994 by Sony Imagesoft, Skyblazer is a SNES platform game in which the hero must try to find Ashura, the Lord of War, and reclaim the kidnapped sorceress Ariana. Largely obscure at the time of release, it gained some considerable cult praise in the following years.

Author's comments:
Special thanks to Bablo, Blechy, and Dooty for finding many of the major tricks and routes in this game. Bablo and Dooty were the TAS authors, and discovered many of the zip techniques and other oddities. Blechy put in a lot of effort to research and test the forced drops throughout many of the stages, which greatly helped to bring the time down to this level. He also pushed me to optimize bits and pieces of the run beyond what I had initially routed. Also thanks to all of my stream viewers for keeping me sane during these runs. Finally, thanks to all the other Skyblazer runners for tips and optimizations as well.
I discuss a lot of the tricks in my audio commentary, so I'll leave this space to summarize potential improvements to the run.
Beginning: Damage boosts and lag reduction were OK, could have been better. Can possibly save .2 seconds more.
Faltine's Woods: Missed the "magic jump", so one frame is lost. Darn.
Temple Infernus: Didn't crouch all the way at the entrance to the shortcut. This and faster zips could have saved .3-.5 seconds.
Cliffs of Peril: is autoscroller.
Tower of Tarolisk: missed only one of the early zips, and took the last zip slightly slow. Not too bad. With some other tiny movement optimizations, probably .3-.5 seconds to save here.
Petrolith Castle: Went mostly perfect. Tighter timings on the boss and a little less hesitation on the platforms can save a quarter of a second.
Falls of Torment: No problems here.
Lair of Kharyon: Missed the lever the first time, and a bit of hesitation picking up the standing magic before the final maze room. All this and tighter timings on the boss can save .3 seconds.
Fortress Shirol: Didn't get the lucky magic drop, which loses 1.5 seconds. Dang.
Gateway of Eternal Storms: Other than not having enough magic to perform the full shortcut, something odd happened with punching the first wall of blocks, and as a result I didn't hit the damage boost after. This probably lost .5 seconds overall.
Storm Fortress of Kh'lar: Other than some hesitations, this stage and boss went great. A couple tenths of a second can possibly be saved.
Caverns of Shirol: Got stuck on the first zip a bit, which ate up a second. Didn't hit the instant jump out of the lava to get the magic in the last room either, which lost half a second. Getting hit and repositioning on the boss lost another half second, for ~2 seconds lost here.
Dragonhill Forest: Move along, nothing to see here.
Great Tower: Perfect up until the samurai elevator. For whatever reason I missed my timings and didn't get the forced drop as I should have. This forced me to improvise later on, and cost at least 2 seconds worth of comets. I also screwed up one hit on the dragon and as a result had to go through one more cycle than usual, which is ~40 frames. A perfect dragon requires only 9 cycles, but I've only pulled this off once. Probably 3 seconds lost here overall.
Raglan's Citadel: No major mishaps until the Tarolisk re-fight. Lost .75 seconds to getting hit on its last hit. For Raglan, messed up the cycle slightly after the second Heal, and fell off the arm. This cost another 2 seconds.
All together, about 8 seconds were lost due to mistakes, with another 1-2 seconds possible to save with frame-perfect movements throughout. So that sub-26 run is possible, but would be pretty difficult to hit every trick and boss perfectly. I would like to see it happen, but I need to move on from this game to other endeavors. This run alone took me more than 1000 attempts, but I encourage others to try their hand at it. It has come a long way since I started running it; I never thought it would be able to get this low. There is still the potential for several other areas to be improved; for example, guaranteed magic drop at Fortress Shirol, or a pattern to get through the Ice Crusher one cycle early, or even a way to zip right. In any case, I had a lot of fun doing this run, and I hope it's an enjoyable watch.

Timing Is Everything
Just in time for the financial crisis, it's $2,000 whiskey!
Last week, Orkney Islands–based distillery Highland Park released bottles of their 40-year-old single-malt scotch. Suggested retail price: $2,000, perfectly positioned for today's economy. On the plus side, heather-peat smokiness and sweet-toffee notes are great for washing away those post-Lehman Brothers blues. [Highland Park]

The Department of Classical Languages and Civilization teaches courses in the Greek and Latin languages on both the Rose Hill and Lincoln Center campuses, as well as courses pertaining to the culture of ancient Greece and Rome. The ancient languages and civilizations of Greece and Rome are fundamental to the development of Western Civilization and have had a long and important afterlife in it. The study of the Greek and Roman classics was central in traditional Jesuit education, and Fordham University is the last American Jesuit university to offer the PhD in this field.
One studies the classics and the classical world not only for themselves, but also to understand better western history, literature, art and architecture, philosophy, and Christian theology. Although we are a small department, we support the much larger presence of (ancient) philosophy, early Christian studies, and Medieval Studies on the campus.
Two areas of major or minor concentration are offered: classical languages and classical civilization. The Department also offers at the Graduate level the MA and the PhD degrees.

College Hockey:Five named as finalists for 2014 Hockey Humanitarian Award
The list of 18 nominees for the 2014 BNY Mellon Wealth Management Hockey Humanitarian Award has been trimmed to five finalists, the Hockey Humanitarian board of directors announced Monday.
The finalists are Cornell's Alyssa Gagliardi, Vermont's Danielle Rancourt, Holy Cross' Jeffrey Reppucci, Notre Dame's Joe Rogers and Colgate's Jocelyn Simpson.
The award, in its 19th year, recognizes college hockey's finest citizen and includes players from Divisions I, II and III and both genders. It will be presented on April 11 during the men's Frozen Four in Philadelphia.
Here are profiles of the finalists provided by the Humanitarian Award:
Alyssa Gagliardi, Cornell
Senior defenseman from Raleigh, N.C.
While at Shattuck-St. Mary's, Cornell co-captain Gagliardi co-founded "USA Hockey Helping Haiti." She also organized a "cops, kids and toys" holiday gift drive, which she successfully continued at Cornell. Alyssa also volunteers for Feed My Starving Children, Habitat for Humanity and at Salvation Army holiday gift drives. She is a Big Sister and a very active volunteer in Cornell's Red Key Honorary Society, which broadly serves the Ithaca, NY community. She and a Cornell teammate were selected to be spokespersons for this season's United Way fundraiser.
Danielle Rancourt, Vermont
Senior forward from Sudbury, Ontario
Aside from being a standout student and hockey player, Vermont assistant captain Danielle Rancourt has greatly affected the Burlington community through her 20-hour weekly commitment to Meals on Wheels and the NCAA College For Every Student (CFES) program. She considers her greatest accomplishment the 'Pack the Gut' fundraiser she initiated, where a record crowd supported Meals on Wheels at a UVM game. Danielle has also spearheaded the "Be Your Best" program that has matched the UVM Women's Hockey Team with a local elementary school. Danielle has also demonstrated a peerless commitment to the College for Every Student program.
Jeffrey Reppucci, Holy Cross
Student assistant coach from Newburyport, Mass.
A career-ending injury has not stopped this Holy Cross senior from staying actively involved with the hockey team and his extensive off-ice works. Now a student assistant coach and game-day operations coordinator, Reppucci continues his humanitarian efforts with Students Helping Children Across Borders, a non-profit he founded to promote health and wellness through education, sports and recreation among underserved children in poor communities throughout the world. SHCAB has executed more than $125,000 worth of infrastructure development in the US, Russia, Argentina, Haiti and Uganda. In Suzdal, Russia, as part of his Playing For Peace initiative, he designed and implemented a $22,000 community building project centered on fighting alcoholism in children through sports and recreational programming. In Worcester, MA Jeffrey mobilized more than 540 college students last April to help build more than $62,000 worth of infrastructure improvements at 12 of the city's recreational spaces.
Joe Rogers, Notre Dame
Senior goaltender from Marysville, Mich.
Having overcome a physical disability himself — an underdeveloped right hand — Rogers has dedicated his time as a mentor to disabled youth. Rogers has befriended, mentored and acted as a role model for several young athletes throughout the country. He has also worked with several organizations, including Feed My Starving Children, Junior Diabetes, and the River City Sled Rovers sled hockey team, for which he spends many hours attending practices, helping kids with their gear, and just talking hockey. In addition, Rogers is now on the Board of Directors for Hockey Saves, an organization that unites the game of hockey with members of the military and their families.
Jocelyn Simpson, Colgate
Senior defenseman from Shorewood, Ill.
An Education major and assistant team captain, Jocelyn Simpson has dedicated much of her community service to working closely with autistic children. As an underclassman, she began working at a camp called "Stepping Stones," helping supervise a group of 30 special needs campers. She later joined the "Oz Project," a drama, music and recreation program that helps children learn skills to navigate social situations. For four years, Jocelyn has organized the team's Autism Awareness game/fundraiser, raising more than $25,000 for Autism Speaks.
The nominees, originating from recommendations made by coaches and administrators, were unveiled in January.
U.S. College Hockey Online has been a Hockey Humanitarian Award media and marketing partner since 2007.

In case you're looking for a Valentine's Day gift for someone who loves smartphones and tablets, here's a Valentine's Day Guide with a few lower-cost items your tech-loving Valentine may appreciate. For starters, the Feb. 7 Salt Lake Tribune's Money section suggests either of two video gadgets: Google Chromecast ($35), or Roku ($49) as fun gifts for this season. The video attached to this article shows some gifts that cost a little more and may also be fun, including a small red Ferrari ($80).
Either Tech Touch Gloves or fingerless gloves may be useful if your Valentine spends time outdoors or riding in a car during these cold days and wants to check emails or send texts (not while driving, please). These gloves are available at a number of stores including Target, Macy's, and Dick's. Tech Touch Gloves feature a conductive spot in each index finger and thumb so that the wearer can use a smartphone or tablet screen without taking off the gloves. These gloves will be especially good for students who want to text and email while walking to school, and also great for phone users who wait outdoors for a bus or commuter train. They cost around $10 and come in bright colors and interesting patterns.
Some of our favorite high-tech Christmas gifts will make good Valentine's presents. Check this article for the story on iFrogz Ear Buds, available at Verizon stores and Verizon.com for $19.99. The retro-look phone handset, an old-fashioned receiver that plugs into any smart phone, is fun and still available at some Target and Best Buy stores, though this one is more expensive now than when it initially hit the market.
Modular chargers for all devices are always a hit, as are spare phone charging cables, and extension cords for those cables, for people who travel with technology. Look for the chargers that allow you to plug two or more devices in to a single electrical outlet or auto cigarette lighter plug; see details in this article.
Memory stick prices per megabyte continue to decrease while the capacity of a single stick increases. Another memory stick may be useful to anyone with a home computer system for saving copies of photos and love letters.

The Korean War After 60 Years: History and Memory in Korea and the United States
Bruce Cumings , Professor and Chairman of the History Department,University of Chicago
RSVP required by 5PM May 25 athttp://aparc.stanford.edu/events/registration/6148/
This lecture will examine the origins of the Cold War in East Asia, how early the Cold War came to Korea, how the Korean War transformed the containment doctrine, how it solidified the continuing divisions in East Asia, and how it transformed defense policy in the United States, leading to a far-flung structure of seemingly permanent military bases in South Korea, Japan, Germany, and many more countries that lasts down to 2010. Professor Cumings will also examine problems of history and memory regarding what most Americans call "the forgotten war."
Bruce Cumings teaches international history, modern Korean history and East Asian political economy at the University of Chicago, where he has taught since 1987 and where he is the Gustavus F. and Ann M. Swift Distinguished Service Professor and the chairman of the History Department. He received his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1975. He has taught at Swarthmore College (1975-77), the University of Washington (1977-86), and Northwestern University (1994-97). He is the author of the two-volume study, The Origins of the Korean War (Princeton University Press, 1981, 1990), War and Television (Visal-Routledge, 1992), Korea's Place in the Sun: A Modern History (W. W. Norton, 1997; updated ed. 2005), Parallax Visions: Making Sense of American-East Asian Relations (Duke University Press, 1999; paperback 2002), North Korea: Another Country (New Press, 2003), co-author of Inventing the Axis of Evil (New Press, 2004), and is the editor of the modern volume of the Cambridge History of Korea (forthcoming). He is a frequent contributor to The London Review of Books, The Nation, Current History, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and Le Monde Diplomatique. The first volume of his Origins won the John King Fairbank book award of the American Historical Association for the best book on East Asia in the previous two years, and the second volume won the Quincy Wright book award of the International Studies Association. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1999, and is the recipient of fellowships from the Ford Foundation-funded Foreign Area Fellows program, NEH, the MacArthur Foundation, the Center for Advanced Study at Stanford, and the Abe Fellowship Program of the Social Science Research Council. He was also the principal historical consultant for the Thames Television/PBS 6-hour documentary, Korea: The Unknown War. He recently published Dominion From Sea to Sea: Pacific Ascendancy and American Power, which was ranked as one of the top 25 books of 2009 by the Atlantic Monthly. Random House will publish his short book, The Korean War, on the war's 60th anniversary in 2010. He is also contracted to publish a new, single-volume synoptic edition of The Origins of the Korean War.

Future orbital activities
Only 7% of objects circling the Earth are operational satellites. The rest are "orbital debris", including rocket bodies, "zombie" satellites, lost components and fragments of damaged satellites. In 2007 China destroyed one of its own satellites with a missile; the US followed suit in 2008.
Is government involvement in the space sector coming to an end? A lack of investment means the number of US Earth observation satellites is declining.
