Hello everyone! Welcome to our community week on projecteducate!
Today, we are introducing our community week Superstars!
#Q1: Tell us a little bit about yourself!
miontre : One fact about me is that I'm terrible at telling about myself! I am a photographer, currently just a hobbyist. On dA, I am involved in projects such as FeedbackFrenzy and of course projecteducate! I'm really happy to be involved in projecteducate because I love providing help, education, and assistance to others. I aim to do this in my articles and tutorials (whether or not they are ones submitted to projecteducate).
lintu47 : HelloI'm Cristina and i live in Romania. I'm a dedicated senior member of dA's community since December 2006. In real life i'm a 4th year med student, planning to move to Australia in a couple of years and on 7th December this year, in order to celebrate my 6th year on dA, i had my first wisdom tooth extracted
ValaSedai : I'm your friendly but introverted, video game obsessed geek who enjoys some good black metal and a good dose of daydreaming. ^^
JamminJo : Hello Everyone JamminJo here I am a self-taught photographer and love to experiment with different setting on my camera. I love capturing photos and learning from our deviantART Community and helping as much as humanly possible
#Q2: How did you discover deviantART?
miontre : When I was younger (ehem, a bit too young); someone from my school introduced me to deviantART. He got me to make an account, to be honest I didn't really want to join but I did anyway because I was easily influenced by peer pressure back then So I joined, not planning to use the site more than the one time I logged in when I made the account. About four months later, while doing some photography, I realised that photography was an art. Then I remembered about deviantART, and I thought it would be fun to post some of my work there. I got more and more involved than I thought I would, and I am still here today.
lintu47 : I appreciated art for as long as i can remember and back in 2005 (June i believe it was) i discovered this site while i was searching for some fan art. I was so amazed by what i could find here that i visited it every day since that day, but only one year and a half later i decided to join the community, when i decided i have something to contribute.
ValaSedai: Honestly...I have no idea. I've had an account before this one some time in 2005 and it's been so long that I haven't got the slightest clue what made me originally stumble across dA.
JamminJo: I discovered deviantART back in 2008 I was very active within the community and learned many new photography techniques. My photography style changed and I grew out of my old account so much that I decided to create a new account in May of 2011, this was way before user name changes were available
#Q3: What do you think about the deviantART Community?
miontre: I love it! I think it's great that there are so many supportive, friendly, and open people here; who want to encourage each other's projects and features, look at each other's works, help each other at improving their art - it's great! I really think deviantART is a place where each of us has something to share and each of us is welcome. It's the selflessness of mostly everybody that really makes this place! Of course, there are a small few people who don't meet this description at all - but there isn't much we can do about it.
lintu47: It's the best by far, and i'm not just saying that. Of all the sites i've been, this community is the most supporting and united; the friends i made here, and even strangers kept my spirits up when i was down because of the things that happened outside of my laptop, but this is a personal opinion. Generally speaking, it's a great environment for beginner artists because they can learn from the best and are a lot of people willing to help them spread the word about their works, and for bigger artists as well because they find here a great audience. What i love most about this community is that when you give, you always receive something valuable in return - appreciation and the thought that you made someone smile today.
ValaSedai: The fact that I've been a member of countless online communities and none of them have captured my interest for much more than a year while I've actively been on dA for more than two already now kinda speaks for itself.I just adore that the community is so tight and that even staff members actively take part in it, which really does make this place feel like a huge family. Sure, you've got your bad moments and black sheep but which real family doesn't?
JamminJo: Before I set up my account in 2008 I researched the internet for artistic communities that were similar to deviantART. I can tell you that there is no other online community that is more community focused and/or dedicated to their members. Simply stated; there is no other online community that comes close to deviantART's Core Values FAQ #84: What are the Core Values of the Community Relations Department? For me deviantART will always be my one and only online artistic community, and I will always do my very best to help support deviantART and the sensational artists within our deviantART Community
#Q4: What do you think about #projecteducate group?
miontre: I think projecteducate is a great group which everyone should be a part of! It gives us the oppurtunity to learn more about our chosen art forms and also to learn about other art forms. The week-long (sometimes longer) dedication to a particular medium makes it almost like a course, and makes it even more exciting when your medium has it's week!
lintu47: This group started as "a project to promote and support artistic growth and knowledge throughout the community" as it says in its description and i'm very grateful i came across it because it really motivated me to go one step further in my work for the community. It's a great place to find inspiring people, articles about all mediums, tips and interviews with great artists. It's a small community on it's own that works every day to bring you the best materials and newest art-related articles.I had the chance to work with some of the best and kindest people i've met in my 6 years on this site and i'd like to thank Kaz-D for her effort she put into making this group a spring of awesomeness
ValaSedai: It's probably one of the most useful groups here on dA imho because you always learn something new and that about a very broad variety of areas, be it art or dA itself.
JamminJo: projecteducate is a phenomenal group that is founded by deviants that are dedicated to educating and helping our community grow. I love the variety of educational weeks and of course Community Weeks are very special to my heart I enjoy working with so many deviants and share their excitement and passion for the educational articles that they produce.
#Q5: Tell us about your inspirations on deviantART
miontre: I am honestly inspired by so many people here that it's going to be difficult to answer this question! My inspirations have changed a lot while I've been on deviantART; when I first joined I was inspired by artists like linda-Bee, EliseEnchanted, and light-from-Emirates. There were some others but I can't remember who they were now. Nowadays I have moved away from that sort of art (most of the time ). Some of my main artistic inspirations at the moment are DianaGrigore, regularjane, arctoa, nile-can-too, tayaiv, OliviaMichalski, DpressedSoul, oprisco - there are so many more but I'm just going to stop there! There definitely are people which should be on that list - sorry but there are just a lot of poeple and I just can't remember every one of them! Some of my community inspirations are bradleysays, Aeirmid, ziinyu, JamminJo, PrinceJose, namenotrequired, Arichy, Kaz-D, GillianIvy - as with my artistic influences, there should be more people in this list but I can't remember each of them from the top of my head!
lintu47: I don't consider myself an artist, therefore i won't talk about the artistic inspiration. But for the part i do, what truly inspires me is others' community work and dedication towards this site. It's a great feeling when i see others do selfless actions, i always admired those that do something without expecting anything in return.
ValaSedai: In general my muse lies within my beloved video games but of all the wonderful deviants on here I'd have to say Know-Kname has been a really great inspiration and so have LohiAxel, Syntetyc and andrekosslick. <3 A look at their galleries will tell you why. :3
JamminJo: Oh my There are so many inspirations on deviantART My inspirations come from all the positive deviants, groups and leaders of deviantART. For me; The deviantART Community is and always will be an inspiration in all I do within our community and within my personal life
#Q6: If you could change one thing about deviantART what would it be?
miontre: The Journal Skins system! I don't really think the current system is amazing - previously maybe it has been useful, but nowadays as people move onto bigger and better designs it is quite limiting. I've come up with a completely new, completely different system which I think is really good - and I think a lot of other Journal skinners would like it too. One day I'm going to get around to suggesting it, and if I'm lucky dA might consider it. I think it'll make the journal skinning process a lot easier overall, and won't be limiting on what we can do whatsoever.
lintu47: Sta.sh, definitely Sta.sh. It just doesn't want to work for me, it's like there's a mutual feeling of hatred between us ): And this is very unfortunate since i need to use it in projecteducate.
ValaSedai: Turn it into an actual real place.
JamminJo: In general people are good in nature, helpful and caring. However, from time to time we all run into a person that has a negative attitude about the aspects of deviantART. I truly wish that there was someway to help these deviants understand the "Big Picture" and what it takes to make a strong and lasting community of artists from around the world.
#Q7: What is your favourite thing about deviantART? About the world?
miontre: My favourite thing about deviantART is the wonderful oppurtunity to share your art (and improve it) and meet people from all across the globe. Favourite thing about the world? I think I'll leave this question. It's difficult to choose a favourite from everything!
lintu47: The best thing about deviantART are the people you can find here - from different corners of the world, with different ages and skin color, all stand together to share their art and support their fellow artists. This is a source of inspiration for me to keep spreading the dA love.As for the world, i think that what i appreciate more is the cultural diversity.
ValaSedai: That it motivates me to make more art, to push my limits with every new work that I try. I wouldn't know where I'd be today regarding my art without it and its wonderful members.About the world? Nature.
JamminJo: My favorite thing about deviantART and the World. I can view works of art and/or visit with anyone from around the deviantART Community and the World I can chat with my friend in Russia or my friends in New York, Australia, Germany, Italy, Canada etc...... Our deviantART Community is unique, tight-knit and forever family to me
#Q8: Is there anything else you want to say?
miontre: If you're reading this - thanks for taking the time to read my interview until the end! And thank you, Arichy, for interviewing me! I am honoured.
Also, join FeedbackFrenzy!
lintu47: For artists: Keep your expectations and standards high, so you will always be urged to do better. Never be completely contempt with yourself because when you do, you'll start devolving.For love-spreading people like myself: Keep doing what you do because your work doesn't go unnoticed and it really matters to someone
ValaSedai: I'm not good with final words.
JamminJo: "Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."~ Mark Twain
Thank you Arichy for this wonderful opportunity to share with our deviantART Community

While only about 1000 feet from a major highway, Mashbox Falls is seldom visited. Research will find only a few mentions of the falls along with vague directions as to the approach. Use of a good topographic map will eliminate some of the mystery in regard to the location and approach to the falls while, at the same time, highlighting the difficulty of the terrain.
From the Cleveland, SC post office, continue up US 276/SC11 until US 276 splits off toward Caesar's Head. From that intersection, follow the road for 5.0 miles. There, in a sharp horseshoe curve, a gravel road comes in from the right. It even has a stop sign. Pull into this road and park along the side, or further down you'll find a barricade with a kiosk for hunters. There is room to park and turn around there.
Walk back up to 276 and turn right to walk up the road. Extreme caution should be used, you are on the road between two blind curves. Traffic coming in either direction will not be able to see you. A guardrail starts just before the next curve. Walk on the inside the guardrail for about 3/4ths of its length. Stop and survey the topography.
You will be looking down about 200 feet to Oil Camp Creek some 500 linear feet away. To your left will be a tributary stream that is coming down from Drip Rock Falls. A small ridge separates this tributary from Oil Camp Creek. Descend toward where the two streams join.
As noted, the slope is very steep, requiring switchbacks to safely make the descent. Leaf cover makes footholds slippery and, if it has rained recently, it will be even slicker. If you are making this attempt in the winter, about half way down, you will be able to see past the nose of the little ridge and view the waterfall.
Once at the bottom, hike upstream on Oil Camp Creek. You may encounter the remains of a still, some buried barrels and a mash box from which the falls gets its name. Cross the tributary and stay on the left side of Oil Camp Creek until you are close to the waterfall then move to the right. A tree stands in front of the falls, so to get a good photo, you will need to get close in or move up and to the right along the rock face. Both approaches are treacherous, steep and guaranteed to be slippery with leaves and mud.
Standing in at about 50 feet, Mashbox Falls sends Oil Camp Creek over the top tier and splits it almost into 2 sluices for about half the distance down the falls. The flow then encounters a huge tier right in the middle, which redirects the water over and down to the remaining tiers. There is no base pool.
Return the way you can and be prepared for a tough climb.

Jesse Van Ruller: Tear Jam
Tear Jam
Jesse Van Ruller (guitar)
Views (Criss Cross 1273)
Jesse Van Ruller (guitar), Seamus Blake (tenor sax), Sam Yahel (organ), Bill Stewart (drums).
Composed by Jesse Van Ruller.
Recorded: New York, October 19, 2005
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
In contrast to the large doses of "chicken grease" usually found on jazz organ recordings, "Tear Jam" is a plaintive jazz waltz with a warm and introspective beauty. Guitar virtuoso Jesse Van Ruller has a creamy texture to his tone. The music is carefully controlled and very delicate. The gifted organist Sam Yahel occasionally plays outside of the chord changes, but it always sounds like he has a plan to snake his way back inside. His lyrical solo starts with a series of short fragments, and then develops with more searching lines into a far-reaching and expressive treatise. Yahel doesn't add too much bite here, but his fluid lines cut through easily. Yahel makes great use of the organ's volume pedal, which makes his chords sway and swell as he guides the band's groove.

Section 1. SAFETY .
(a) Clearances/Impairments . The Industry shall not permit or maintain any building, platform, fence, gate, vehicle, or other structure, obstruction or material of any kind, closer to the Track then the standard clearances of the Railroad without the prior written consent of the Railroad. The standard clearances of the Railroad are (i) horizontally , nine (9) feet from the centerline of the Track, and (ii) vertically , twenty-three (23) feet above the top of the rail of the Track. For any portion of the Track that is curved, the standard horizontal clearance shall be increased one and one-half inches for each degree of curvature. All doors, windows and gates shall be of the sliding type or open away from the Track if opening them toward the Track would impair clearances. Any moveable appliance, including, but not limited to, dock plates and loading or unloading spouts or equipment, that impairs the standard clearances only when in use, shall be securely stored or fastened by the Industry when not in use so as to not impair such clearances. If greater clearances are required by the National Electrical Safety Code or by statute, regulation or other competent public authority, the Industry shall comply therewith and shall obtain any necessary public authority and Railroad consent to impair clearances before creating an impairment. Any structure, material or other obstruction (whether in use or not) which is closer to the Track than the Railroad's standard clearances or applicable public authority, whichever distance is greater, shall be considered an impairment, whether or not consented to or permitted by the Railroad or public authority.
(b) Facilities . The Industry shall not construct, locate, maintain or permit the construction or erection of any pits, loadout facilities, buildings, private crossings, beams, pipes, wires, or other obstructions or installations of any kind or character (hereinafter "Facilities") over or under the Track without the prior written consent of the Railroad.
(c) Walkways . The Industry, at its expense, shall provide and maintain a Clear and safe pathway for Railroad employees along both sides of the Track beyond the clearance point. If walkways are required by statute or regulation, the Industry, at its expense, shall ensure that walkways are built and maintained to conform with such statute or regulation.
(d) Industry to Train and Oversee Employees . The Industry shall have a non-delegable duty and responsibility to train and oversee its employees and agents as to proper and safe working practices while performing any work in connection with this Agreement, or any work associated with the Railroad serving the Industry over the Track.
(e) Intraplant Switching . The Industry shall not perform, permit or cause intraplant switching without the prior written consent of the Railroad. Intraplant switching means the movement of rail cars on the Track by the Industry by any method and includes the Industry's capacity to move rail cars, whether before, during or after any such movement.
(f) Standards . The Industry shall comply with all applicable ordinances, regulations, statutes, rules, decisions and orders including, but not limited to, safety, zoning, air and water quality, noise, hazardous substances and hazardous wastes (hereinafter "Standards") issued by any federal, state or local governmental body or agency (hereinafter "Authority"). If the Industry is not in full compliance with any Standards issued by any authorized Authority, the Railroad, after notifying the Industry of its noncompliance and the Industry's failure within twenty days of such notice to correct such noncompliance, may elect to take whatever action is necessary to bring the Track and any Railroad property into compliance with such Standards; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if Industry's failure to comply with Standards interferes with, obstructs or endangers Railroad mainline or yard operations in any way, Railroad may initiate compliance action immediately. The Industry shall reimburse the Railroad for all costs (including, but not limited to, consulting, engineering, clean-up, disposal, legal costs and attorneys' fees, fines and penalties) incurred by the Railroad in complying with, abating a violation of, or defending any claim of violation of such Standards. A waiver by the Railroad of the breach by the Industry of any covenant or condition of this Agreement shall not impair the right of the Railroad to avail itself of any remedy for any subsequent breach thereof.

Cut Fat, Add Salt?
Salt is unhealthy, it ups hypertension and stroke-risk, but yet, it's in everything, from bagels to breakfast cereal. And in this video, Dr. Fuhrman's friend, Jeff Novick MS, RD, LD, LN, explains that after cutting the fat in many foods. Food producers increased the salt, to make it taste better.
And experts at Consumer Reports concur. "Our analysis found that lower-fat products might be higher in sodium. That's in part because when fat is taken out of full-fat foods, sodium is sometimes used to compensate for flavor," Jamie Hirsh, associate health editor, told Reuters.

I am trying to use build a robot using the RotationNavigator class. I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid ... It requires one motor connected to a wheel on each side, no?
Running the following commands:
RotationNavigator Nav = new RotationNavigator(2f, 10.23f, 1.5f, Motor.A, Motor.C, Sensor.S1, Sensor.S3);
The robot SHOULD travel forward ~15cm and stop. Instead, the robot turns on, goes forward for a fraction of a second, and then either the right, or left motor continues running forward, but the other motor stops running (which motor stops seems to be a random event).
Alternatively, this code runs the bot forward with panache!
try{ Thread.sleep (100000);} catch(InterruptedException e) {}
The robot is similar to trilobot (plans: http://www.phptr.com/articles/article.a ... Num=4&rl=1), except he uses the rotation sensors instead of touch sensors, and the gears are different.
Robot Gearing:
Each motor is connected to the largest gear (32 tooth?). This gear turns a 24 tooth gear that turns each wheel (separately). The rotation sensor is connected to the motor gear by a 16 tooth gear. Like Trilobot, the robot can turn in its foot print if one motor is turned forward, and the other one is turned reverse.
I've tried turning the leads on the rotation sensors (to make certain they are recording forward as the car goes forwards) and the same problem occurs with all combinations of rotation sensor leads.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has released the names of 14 committee members nominated to review the management practices of Bureau of Land Management's (BLM's) beleaguered Wild Horse and Burro Program.
Under pressure from Congress and considerable public criticism, Bob Abbey, BLM director, announced in September of 2010 that the National Research Council, a division of NAS, would be contracted for the review. Contract details were finalized and the contract awarded just this summer.
According to Tom Gorey, BLM Senior Public Affairs Specialist, the NAS/NRC contract comes at a cost of 3 million dollars and is expected to take two years for completion.
NAS/NRC web site information notes, "... the appointments made to this committee are provisional, and changes may be made... No appointment shall be considered final until we have evaluated relevant information bearing on the committee's composition and balance." The site also states, " A committee is not finally approved until a thorough balance and conflict of interest discussion is held at the first meeting and any issues raised in that discussion or by the public are investigated and addressed."
The first scheduled meeting will take place October 27-28 in Reno, Nevada. Though public attendance is allowed at some NRC meetings, it is as yet unclear if the public will be permitted to sit in on this initial meeting.
Public Comments regarding committee make up will be accepted until September 26, 2011. Nominee biographies and a link to the feedback form can be found here.
Nominated committee members include
- Dr. Guy Palmer - Washington State University

Secrets of Success
Obama, China, Our Land, Our Oil, Our natural Gas
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
The Obama administration is quietly allowing China to acquire major ownership interests in oil and natural gas resources across the U.S.
The decision to allow China to compete for U.S. oil and natural gas resources appears to stem from a need to keep Beijing economically interested in lending to the U.S. The Obama administration has run $1-trillion-plus annual federal budget deficits since taking office that likely will continue in the second term.
As WND reported Monday, Beijing has been developing a proposal in which real estate on American soil owned by China would be set up as �development zones� to establish Chinese-owned businesses and bring in its citizens to the U.S. to work.
China leased first oil rights in Texas
China�s first major move into the U.S. oil and natural gas market can be traced to October 2009, when the state-owned Chinese energy giant CNOOC bought a multi-million dollar stake in 600,000 acres of South Texas oil and gas fields.
Reporting the story, Monica Hatcher of the Houston Chronicle suggested China was �testing the political waters for further energy expansion into U.S. energy reserves.�
China�s purchase of U.S. oil and natural gas rights will strike millions of Americans as paradoxical, since the U.S. continues to be a net importer of approximately 60 percent of the oil consumed in the U.S.
The Chronicle reported China paid $2.2 billion for a one-third stake in Chesapeake Energy assets, with CNOCC laying a claim to a share of energy resources in South Texas that could produce up to half a million barrels of oil per day.
The Houston paper reported that as part of the deal, CNOCC agreed to pay approximately $1.1 billion for a share of Chesapeake�s assets in the Eagle Ford, a broad oil and gas formation that runs southwest of San Antonio to the Mexican border.
The Chronicle also reported that the deal with China could create as many as 20,000 jobs in the U.S. and provide the capital Chesapeake needs to increase its rig count in South Texas from 10 to 42 by the end of 2012.
China�s oil interests
Along with CNOOC, which is 100-percent owned by the communist Chinese government, Sinopec Group also is purchasing energy interests in the U.S.
Sinopec Group is the largest shareholder of Sinopac Corporation, a state-owned investment company incorporated in 1998 largely to acquire and operate oil and natural gas interests worldwide.
The Wall Street Journal recently compileda state-by-state list of the $17 billion in oil and natural gas equity interests CNOOC and Sinopec have acquired in the U.S. and Canada since 2010.
�Colorado: CNOOC gained a one-third stake in 800,000 acres in northeast Colorado and southwest Wyoming in a $1.27 billion pact with Chesapeake Energy Corporation.
�Louisiana: Sinopec has a one-third interest in 265,000 acres in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale after a broader $2.5 billion deal with Devon Energy.
�Michigan: Sinopec gained a one-third interest in 350,000 acres in a larger $2.5 billion deal with Devon Energy.
�Ohio: Sinopec acquired a one-third interest in Devon Energy�s 235,000 Utica Shale acres in a larger $2.5 billion deal.
�Oklahoma: Sinopec has a one-third interest in 215,000 acres in a broader $2.5 billion deal with Devon Energy.
�Texas: CNOOC acquired a one-third interest in Chesapeake Energy�s 600,000 acres in the Eagle Ford Shale in a $2.16-billion deal.
�Wyoming: CNOOC has a one-third stake in northeast Colorado and southeast Wyoming after a $1.27 billion pact with Chesapeake Energy. Sinopec gained a one-third interest in Devon Energy�s 320,000 acres as part of a larger $2.5 billion deal.
The Wall Street Journal reported China�s strategy � implemented since 2010 by Fu Chengyu, who has served as chairman of both CNOOC and Sniopec � is to �seek minority stakes, play a passive role, and, in a nod to U.S. regulators, keep Chinese personnel at arm�s length from advanced U.S. technology.�
China moving into Gulf of Mexico
After a difficult political struggle, China received permission last month from the Canadian government to make its largest overseas acquisition of oil and natural gas interests outside China, acquiring Canadian energy producer Nexen Inc. for $15.5 billion. In the process, China acquired Nexen oil and natural gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico in U.S. waters.
Although the deal still requires approval from CIFUS, the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment, the acquisition of Nexen�s high-tech ultra-deepwater drilling resources in the Gulf of Mexico was a major reason China sought to acquire the company. CNOOC, a company that derives nearly all its domestic capacity from shallow waters, has announced a goal of producing 1 million barrels of oil per day from ultra-deepwater oil and natural gas facilities by 2020, more than doubling current capacity.
In 2010, China passed the U.S. to become the world�s largest energy consumer, according to the International Energy Agency. China consumed 2.252 billion tons of oil equivalent in 2009, approximately 4 percent more than the U.S.
Is it time for a Revolution in our own country? Is it time for a government over throw? I don't know, but I DO know this:

STANFORD, Calif. The Stanford lightweight rowing team will head to Boston this weekend to begin its season racing in the 49th Head of the Charles Regatta.
Head coach Al Acosta, who has led the team to four straight national championships, will take nine rowers with him to the Northeast in hopes of capturing a title in the Women's Lightweight Eights. With five juniors studying abroad, the Stanford boat will feature the youngest lineup in the race. The Cardinal crew will feature five freshmen, three sophomores and one senior.
"I don't think we are under any illusions that we are really fast right now," said Acosta. "We have been rowing for two weeks now so hopefully the kids have their expectations moderated a little bit. But they are all really competitive kids and they certainly want to give it their best shot to win. They'll go hard and we will see where we come out."
The Head of the Charles has been an annual event on the Charles River in Boston since 1965. It is an event that features 9,000 athletes and 300,000 spectators. Widely considered one of the largest rowing events in the world, the Head of the Charles features a challenging course with seven bridges, the 90-degree "Weeks Bridge" turn and "Dead Man's Curve" through the final Eliot Bridge.
Senior Zoe Wolford is the only upperclassmen for Stanford competing this weekend and she will cox the boat through the challenging course.
"It is kind of a coxswain's race," said Wolford. "It is a head race and the river is windy with lots of bridges. I have been meeting with our assistant coach Maggie, who was a coxswain and has been through the race. She has all sorts of race plans for me to go over."
The freshmen who will be getting an early chance to compete for Stanford will be Jackie Huddle, Martine Johnannessen, Christine Cavallo, Brianna Goldstein and Sarah Hirshorn. The three sophomores are Brittany Presten, Emma Collins and Katherine Christel.
"We have a lot of juniors studying abroad right now and it really gives the freshmen a chance to step up," said sophomore Katherine Christel. "We have a freshman in stroke seat at the Head of the Charles. I think it is a great way for them to feel comfortable with the team and become incorporated."
The Stanford crew will be one of the last groups to race in the two-day event as they are scheduled to begin at 4:46 p.m. (ET).

Founding Fathers Quotes Another not unimportant consideration is, that the powers of the general government will be, and indeed must be, principally employed upon external objects, such as war, peace, negotiations with foreign powers, and foreign commerce. In its internal operations it can touch but few objects, except to introduce regulations beneficial to the commerce, intercourse, and other relations, between the states, and to lay taxes for the common good. The powers of the states, on the other hand, extend to all objects, which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, and liberties, and property of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the state. Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833
All The Best,
William Einstein Shakespeare :)
CXVII Accuse me thus: that I have scanted all, Wherein I should your great deserts repay, Forgot upon your dearest love to call, Whereto all bonds do tie me day by day; That I have frequent been with unknown minds, And given to time your own dear-purchas'd right; That I have hoisted sail to all the winds Which should transport me farthest from your sight. Book both my wilfulness and errors down, And on just proof surmise, accumulate; Bring me within the level of your frown, But shoot not at me in your waken'd hate; Since my appeal says I did strive to prove The constancy and virtue of your love. --William Shakespeare

Reflections on Life
Wednesday 17 November 2010
Reflections On Life is an ongoing international project by award-winning London based photographer and friend of in-public Dougie Wallace.
Shot in Lisbon, Egypt and Eastern Europe, including, Sarajevo, Ukraine and Albania, this series of photographs features people glimpsed through the windows of city trams.
As the subjects go about their daily lives, a reflection of their city – be it grand architecture or garish posters – is captured on their faces. The effect of these different layers produces a disorienting and surreal series of images that tell the story of these people and their cities in subdued, painterly tones.
"As I travelled I became increasingly fascinated with the idea of reflections and the ability these have to change and make us reconsider our perceptions of everyday life".
You can get a glimpse of the project so far between the 18th and 21st November at:
The Outside World
44 Redchurch Street
Gallery Open 12-6pm
In-Public was set up in 2000 to provide a home for Street Photographers.
Our aim is to promote Street Photography and to continue to explore its possibilities, we are a non commercial collective. All the photographers featured here have been invited to show their work because they have the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what's really going on in the world around us.Read more

Jim Turner Set To Join Football Staff As Offensive Line Coach
Jim Turner named offensive line coach.
Dec. 21, 2011
Texas Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville has announced that former Texas A&M assistant Jim Turner has joined the football staff and will serve as the offensive line coach.
"Jim (Turner) is an excellent coach and we are fortunate to have him on our staff," said Tuberville. "The job he did at Texas A&M is exactly why we wanted him on board. They gave up fewer sacks than anyone in the country and in this offense, the line is critical to your success."
Turner comes to Texas Tech after a four-year stint in College Station where he molded one of the best offensive lines in college football. This past season, his group led the nation in fewest sacks allowed as the Aggie line surrendered only eight over the course of a 12-game regular season. The offensive line also paved the way for the Aggies to boast the nation's 21st-ranked rushing attack.
Turner worked with the Boston College staff as offensive line coach in 2007. Prior to his stop in Chestnut Hill, he served two years (2005-06) as the offensive line coach at the University of Delaware. In the 2006 season, Turner added the title of assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator for the Fightin' Blue Hens.
In the 2006 season, he helped tackle Mike Byrne earn All-Atlantic 10 honors as the Blue Hens were among the Division I-AA leaders in several offensive categories. The 2005 Delaware offensive line allowed only 13 sacks and Brian Sims earned second-team All-Atlantic 10 honors.
Turner's background includes stops at Temple in 2003-04 as the offensive line coach as well as three years (2000-02) at Cambridge, Massachusetts, as the offensive line and run game coordinator for Harvard. In 2001, the Crimson posted an undefeated 9-0 record and won the Ivy League crown. The 2000 Crimson offense broke 17 school offensive records.
Turner spent one season in Ruston, Louisiana, as the offensive line coach for Louisiana Tech in 1999. The offensive line allowed only 18 sacks in 566 pass attempts. The Bulldogs averaged 37 points a game and averaged 474 yards of total offense.
From 1994 through 1998, Turner coached at Northeastern University in Boston working with the offensive line and tight ends in 1994-95, before switching to running backs and special teams in 1996, and ending his tenure there as the defensive line and special teams coach in 1997 and 1998. A native of Braintree, Massachusetts, Turner was a three-year letterman and two-year starter for Coach Jack Bicknell at Boston College as a fullback. He played in three bowl games, the Liberty, Cotton and Hall of Fame. His senior season he was named a team captain.
After earning his degree in sociology in 1988 from Boston College, Turner began his coaching career at his high school alma mater of Braintree in 1988. He spent the 1989 season in London, England, as the offensive coordinator of the Kent Rams before serving in the United States Marine Corps as an infantry officer in Europe, the Middle East and Japan from 1990-94.
Turner and his wife Patricia have one son, Michael.

Dell to launch smartphones in time – whenever that is
Not long after rumors about Dell's smartphones being rejected by carriers have appeared, we're now hearing that, in fact, the American company's handsets are on track for a launch later this year.
DigiTimes has it that Michael Dell himself confirmed the Dell-branded smartphones are "on schedule", although he didn't say when exactly they will be released.
The company's CEO has also not mentioned anything about the reported carrier rejection or about re-designing its smartphone prototypes.
Apparently, Dell will collaborate with Foxconn Electronics for the handsets' hardware part.
At the moment, we know Dell is readying at least one Android and one Windows Mobile smartphone, so let's hope they'll both be introduced before the year's end.

"Teen Mom" star Kailyn Lowry has been one busy person over the past six months. She has been trying to balance two children, has been working on her career, has released a bestselling book and she has been trying to start new business ventures. It has come to the point where she feels a little overwhelmed it appears. And this week on Twitter, she essentially asked for help. According to a new tweet published on June 24, "Teen Mom" star Kailyn Lowry is now revealing that she could use some help.
"What did I just get myself into? I need an assistant to help me organize myself! So excited to come do parties with everyone who's booking!" she revealed on Twitter. It sounds like there is plenty of work to do be done with bookings, appearances and parties. And it sounds like she could use the help. Earlier this week, she revealed that she had already missed two plane rides this week alone thanks to various things. The more recent excuse was a flat tire. Where is the assistant when you need one?
Her husband, Javi Marroquin, has been working hard to support her. He has been promoting her book on his Twitter account and has been encouraging people to buy her book. In addition, rumours are swirling that the couple will be returning to the small screen because "Teen Mom" has been renewed for another half-season. None of the girls have actually confirmed this news, but this would be great marketing for Kailyn's book.
Kailyn didn't really specify where people could apply to be her assistant or whether she was serious about getting one, but it could never hurt to reach out and see how you could help her out. On that Twitter update alone, she got lots of supportive messages from fans who would love to step up and help.
Would you considering becoming her assistant?

Kandi Burruss' mom may have attended her wedding on Friday, but according to an interview, she's still not supportive of her daughter's relationship with now-husband Todd Tucker.
According to an April 7 report by Wetpaint Entertainment, Mama Joyce recently spoke with TooFab, confirming that although she was a part of the wedding festivities, she still has major beef with Tucker -- especially after his hesitations in signing the prenup.
"I got a little pissed at the bridegroom the night before this wedding," Joyce admitted to toofab. "He kind of held up on signing the prenup and didn't come to the rehearsal dinner because he didn't want to sign it. His mom said she didn't see no reason for him to have to sign because they were in love."
While there were a few issues when it came to the prenup, Mama Joyce stated that she believes he did eventually sign it, although she didn't seem 100% sure.
Either way, Mama Joyce is washing her hands of the relationship and letting her daughter do as she pleases, as she should.
"Doesn't make no difference if I'm happy or not, she's the one that has to live with him," Joyce said. "I did everything I could do. If she's jumping in the river with sharks, she's gonna get chewed up. People show you their best when you're dating them, so if she's seeing the best now, the worst is yet to come."
It's a shame that Mama Joyce can't be more supportive of her daughter. No matter how she feels about Tucker, the only one she's really punishing here is her daughter.

- Price Before Booze & Tip: $20-$25
- Official Site: ChocolateSantaCruz.com
- Telephone and Address: (831) 420-1928; 1522 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz; 95060
- Location: Santa Cruz, CA
The quirky cafe exterior may sit well with the bohemian nature of Santa Cruz, but it belies the quality of the food that is offered at this charming and hugely popular West Coast eatery. As the name suggests, most people who visit leave quite rightly raving about the range of hot chocolates and truffles on offer. However, if customers take time to explore the menu a little further they will find dishes from classic American comfort food to hearty recipes inspired by chef David Jackman's many years spent in Italy. Add these to a wine list inspired by the same travels and Chocolate proves an engaging place to dine.
During the day, Chocolate attracts weary shoppers and a casual lunch crowd who are in search of a light bite, a pick-me- up in the form of one of their signature hot chocolates or even just a glass of wine. In the evening, the crowd is more serious about its food and the tables can be filled with dating couples, large families and celebration parties taking advantage of the full menu. In either case, the staff are attentive and Chef David Jackman, with his trademark hat, is ever-present making sure everybody is enjoying their meal.
If you are just popping in for a break, choose from one of the range of hot chocolates including the Italian-style "Sofia" or even a "Bianca" made from white chocolate. For a more substantial meal, sample one of the dishes designed to be spread on warm bread such as basil and sun dried tomato pesto and mascarpone cheese with kalamata olives and roasted garlic. Alternatives include free-range chicken with a hot barbecue sauce. Move on to one of the entrees, which include house-made chicken mole with a side of polenta pie, fresh pasta rosettes filled with ricotta and Romano cheese or a large slice of the daily pot pie. Desserts include their dense, rich cheesecakes and flaky-crusted pies with fillings of cherry or coconut cream. If you leave without trying one of their amaretto mousse truffles you will have done yourself a disservice.

Romney's '47 Percent' Remark Might Be More Damaging Than Obama's 'Guns and Religion' Comments
John Heilemann and Jonathan Chait weigh in.
On tonight's Hardball, host Chris Matthews asked the panelists how politically damaging Mitt Romney's recently released remarks from a May fund-raiser will be to his campaign, compared to comments President Obama made in 2008 when he implied that some voters in small towns were "bitter" and clinging to guns and religion. John Heilemann weighed in first, noting: "When President Obama said that, it was also condescending and it was also contemptuous ... but if you look at the whole quote he says, 'This is the way these people are but that doesn't mean I'm not going to go campaign for their votes.' That's exactly the opposite of what Romney was saying."
Jonathan Chait weighed in on how the Romney camp can spin the comments in their favor: "I don't think this is going to be a big political hit on Romney ... It is actually not going to hurt or possibly help him a little bit if he can frame it as being for the middle class against these 'poor lazy people trying to take your money' — then that is an effective attack."

There will be a lot more at stake than just a non-district win when the Portales, N.M., Rams play host to the New Mexico Military Institute Colts in high school football Friday night.
Coach Glen John's Rams enter the contest with a 4-1 mark and ranked No. 1 in New Mexico Class 3A. The Colts enter the game with an identical record. After losing their season opener to Eunice, the Colts have won four straight and are on the verge of cracking the state's top five.
NMMI assistant Pilar Carrasco said the Colts want to make a statement against Portales. NMMI is the only military boarding school in New Mexico and plays an independent football schedule because of the "boarding school rule" enforced by the New Mexico Activities Association, the governing body of New Mexico high school sports.
The rule states that any new student at NMMI must sit out a semester before becoming eligible to play. Since so many new cadets come to the institution each year, a good majority of them would have to sit out, at times making it difficult for the Colts to field a team.
That's why NMMI plays an independent football schedule so that it doesn't have to abide by the NMAA rule. But it's a bummer that NMMI can't compete for a district and state championships.
`'We want to compete in a district," said Carrasco. "If we were in a district, we would be in there with Portales and Lovington and those guys. They want us in there. But what they're (NMAA) afraid of is that we'll recruit. It's tough here; that's what people don't understand. Oh, what are we going to say? `W'd like for you to come play football for us. You'll have to wear a uniform every day, you'll have to get up at 5 every morning. And by the way, we need $6,000 from your parents.' "
Under NMAA rule, the Colts would have 10 ineligible players.
"The academics is a lot tougher here," Carrasco said. "In fact, we just had a lineman go back home because the academics were too tough. So you can see why this is a real big football game for us. This is a personal issue of us against the outside world. We want to show them one of the best teams in New Mexico won't be playing in the playoffs." Staying on the subject of football, the Lockney Longhorns have their own version of Texas Christian's LaDainian Tomlinson in the form of Mo Collins. Tomlinson has been a workhorse for the Horned Frogs in his quest to win the Heisman Trophy. Last weekend he carried 49 times for 294 yards in a 41-21 victory against Hawaii.
Collins is just as active, or even more active when you consider Collins plays free safety on defense. In the third game of the season Collins carried 44 times for 319 yards in a win against Tahoka. In five games this year he's carried 144 times for 1,088 yards, averaging 7.6 yards per try and scoring 11 touchdowns.
Lockey assistant coach Paul Hise said the coaching staff has no qualms about letting the 5-foot-11, 180-pound junior carry the ball so many times. "He's just so strong and so tough," said Hise. "At the end of the game he's still going strong."
The Longhorns will travel 10 miles along Highway 70 on Friday and play for Floyd County bragging rights against the Floydada Whirlwinds. It's also a District 5-2A game. Lockey is 3-2 overall and 1-0 in league play, and Floydada is 1-5 and 0-2.
The two teams have been playing each other for more than 70 years and for a traveling trophy. Last year, Lockey won the trophy back with a 21-14 victory. It seems some kid by the name of Collins caught a 70-yard touchdown pass in the last minute for the winning score. Moving inside out of the cold.
Several volleyball players from the area are doing well in their collegiate careers.
Brennon Molberg, an Amarillo High product, is a defensive specialist at Cameron University. The 5-foot-9 sophomore is averaging three digs per game and has 10 service aces and nine kills.
Cameron, a Lone Star Conference North Division team, is 5-0 in conference play and 15-8 overall. Cameron has been ranked as high as 21st in the NCAA Division II polls.
Hailey Hartline, a Randall product, is a freshman hitter at Abilene Christian University. Hartline has played in 29 of the Lady Wildcats' 84 games. She has 75 kills and a .256 hitting percentage to go along with 62 digs, eight blocks and five service aces.
ACU, in the LSC South Division, is 21-2 overall and 3-1 in conference play.
Former Amarillo High star Beth Skypala is seeing limited action for Texas A&M. The 6-foot-1 freshman has 18 kills and a hitting percentage of .300 to go along with six blocks and three digs. She has played in five of A&M's 47 matches this year. Her best match came against Pan American when she had a team-leading 10 kills.
A&M is ranked No. 22 in the nation and sports a 10-4 overall mark and 5-2 Big 12 Conference mark. One of those league losses came against No. 1-ranked Nebraska in Lincoln, 15-3, 16-14, 15-6.
Last year A&M made it to the Elite Eight and finished ranked No. 8 in the nation. Caprock junior Marty Eakin is on track to win his second consecutive Tri-State Rodeo all-around title. Eakin, who won the all-around title last year and finished third as a freshman, currently leads the standings after four rodeos with 79 points.
Nipping on his heels, however, are Tyler Hargraveand Josh Donnell of Canyon with 73 points each.
Emily Smith of Canyon leads the girls' all-around with 94 points, 12 points ahead of Kaylee Holt of Gruver. In third place with 80 points isKaily Richardson of Pampa. Get ready, area rodeo fans, for the World Championships.
The Senior Steer Roping World Championships will be Oct. 20 and 21 at the Amarillo National Center. The top senior steer ropers on the tour will be on hand.

Jerrod Niemann is the latest celebrity to use his fame for a good cause. On February 9, the country singer used his Twitter account to ask for help for a friend who has some very tough physical challenges ahead.
He tweeted:
My friend found out she has an inoperable brain tumor. Would you please check out & share this link? Thank you! http://gofundme.com/6nvhos
The link takes people to GoFundMe, a crowd funding site that allows its users to create fundraising campaigns for just about any need. Jerrod Niemann links friends and fans to a page set up for Shannon, a young mother whose difficult medical journey is being chronicled with updates. The fundraiser for Shannon has a goal of $10,000 and at the time of Jerrod Niemann's tweet, had tipped over the halfway point in donations.
Donations for Shannon will go to her medical bills and the living and child care expenses involved
for her 5 month old son, Nash.
Anyone who wishes to donate to Shannon can use a debit or credit card to do so, and choose a one-time payment or recurring payment. Messages of encouragement can be sent along with the donation if desired. Those giving can also choose to remain anonymous if they prefer.
Recently, Jason Aldean asked for financial help for his tour manager's cousin who had been involved in an accident that left him unable to provide for his family. Jerrod Niemann's request comes just days later. It's good to see country music stars using their celebrity to help someone in need. Hopefully, their pleas will help these families reach their financial goals and at least have peace of mind over their finances while facing some of life's most difficult challenges.

Volume: 27 Issue: 6 (June 2004)
Ray Caesar
First of Days
"Some of us are never really born and remain forever in a self-imposed womb."
"Real skin is multicolored, translucent, and full of pores, freckles, and veins, all of which must be re-created in CG for it to look real."
"A child blowing bubbles is a symbol of the fragility of life."
Bride (with inset study)
"I collect textures, like these, the way some people collect little silver spoons."
Every picture tells a story, but in the case of artist Ray Caesar, his digital imagery speaks volumes. His work has been described as immaculate fragments that when layered together are more like puzzle pieces than individual pictures. While the pieces appear related, they never completely fit with any of the others. As a result, his visual narrative changes depending on the order in which the pieces are viewed. The main cast members in Caesar's story are mysterious doll-like children from the turn of the century that are vibrantly colored and, despite their depiction in a portrait style, appear to be brimming with life.
"I don't really think I chose the style; it's just been part of my work since childhood, whether I'm working in 3D, paint, or pencil, and the imagery keeps evolving," Caesar says. "I'm not sure I can work any other way." Having a major impact on his style was the joy and sadness he witnessed while working in the art and photography department of a children's hospital. Also influencing his work were the deaths of his mother and sister, which triggered "a series of strange dreams that encouraged me to pursue my dream of producing fine art."
To create the pieces, Caesar models the children with NURBS in Alias's Maya, adding a bone structure that allows him to pose and position the figures within a 3D environment, while an intricate facial rigging system enables him to achieve a wide range of expressions. The texture sources vary: Some are hand-painted in Photoshop; others are acquired from photographic sources that he collects. After rendering each object separately, he composites some 60 to 70 layers for each image.
A sampling of Caesar's work is featured on these pages. Additional information about the artist can be found at www.raycaesar.com. —Karen Moltenbrey

6 years to the day: the one am radio at WMUC, 2003 (live on college radio)
This is the first of possibly a series called "Live on College Radio". We'll see if it continues. If it does, maybe I can think of a better name.
the One AM Radio, 6 days later on the same tour: Feb 28, 2003 in Boston
I know I've already been waxing nostalgic today, but the coincidence that I got this 6 years to the day from when it was recorded was too much to pass up. . .
Dozens of a bands probably play on college radio a day. Most of those performances will be broadcast once and never heard again. Even if they are archived by the station, they'll probably be lost in the shuffle of a constantly rotating cast of DJs and staff. Honestly, we probably lose nothing by some of them disappearing forever, but there are some that deserve to be heard again.
The One AM Radio (myspace) stopped in the College of Maryland's WMUC studios six years ago today. They played four tunes: the two below plus "Drowsy Haze" and "The House We Will Make".
This was on their tour with the Wind Up Bird, shortly after their Split EP was released. The Hum of the Electric Air! had come out a year before and A Name Writ in Water wouldn't come out for another year.
I've written before about the amazingly beautiful "All I Can Recall is the Haunting". "Fever Dream" is a languid and more subtle song that's no less beautiful.

Hrishi and his band have a couple tour dates in Phoenix and L.A. He also did a pretty excellent remix of Radiohead's "Reckoner". Work has apparently begun on demos for their next album

Asiana House to open today in Montpelier
MONTPELIER The Burlington-based Asiana House is opening its Montpelier location today.
Gary Ma and his wife, Sandra Tan, are launching the 50-plus-seat restaurant, which includes a sushi bar, after months of modifying a State Street space once occupied by Chittenden Bank and more recently Capitol Grounds.
The restaurant will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, and 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
The property is managed by Jesse Jacobs through Montpelier Property Management and owned by Overlake Park LLC, also part of the family real estate company. Jacobs said that in trying to encourage the restaurant owners to open a new location, he had about half of the restaurant space renovated.
Ma said he began construction in November, adding kitchen equipment. He said that once the restaurant opens, hell work six days a week in Montpelier.

Tyra Banks paid a visit to Good Morning America last Friday in an extremely sharp pair of Walter Steiger Banded Ankle Booties. Walter Steiger is infamous for the exaggerated curved heel you see above, which I think we can all agree is a total game-changer. I love the futuristic vibe of this design – these shoes seem far more wearable than Alexander McQueen's heel-less pumps or other similarly fashion-forward efforts from other designers, but with a similarly daring aesthetic. You can get Tyra's exact black suede booties for $935 at Barneys.
Tyra is making the press rounds to promote the latest cycle of America's Next Top Model. (Yes, that show is STILL on. There have been 20 cycles thus far.) Tyra and the gang are shaking things up a bit this time with – wait for it – male models. That's right, ANTM is going coed. Will the prospect of a little man candy encourage you to tune in once again?
