Campaigning on familiar issues that include reforming government and education and paying attention to older Americans, Ohio Republican Congressman Pat Tiberi has little fear his constituents will not rehire him this year for another two-year term as they've done seven consecutive times before.
Tiberi, who early in his political career worked as a staff assistant to nine-term 12th District Congressman John Kasich, who was elected Ohio governor in 2010 and seeks a final four-year term this year, has enjoyed winning margins of not less than 53 percent and as high as 64 percent.
Before filmmaker Jeff Orlowski arrived in Ohio's 12th District, which includes communities north and east of Columbus including Zanesville, Mansfield and Dublin, Congressman Tiberi probably wasn't losing sleep over the issue of Climate Change. But a funny thing happened on his way to reelection this year, something not seen in real life by Buckeyes dwelling at about 40-degrees north latitude—the melting of ancient glacial sheets that has been documented in stunning pictures and video by Mr. Orlowski, whose visual brief to the world court argues that Climate Change is real, undeniable and accelerating faster than once thought—is as close as the nose on their face.
Orlowski's assignment from National Geographic to document the melting of Earth's ancient ice sheets turned into a mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of a changing planet. He and his team just ended a social experiment with political consequences whose design is to tip the Congressman to acknowledge the science behind Climate Change.
"Chasing Ice," his 2012 Sundance Film Festival winner, is the educational tool he's using to sway a loyal Republican like Tiberi to come out of the Climate Change closet into a sunny world populated by a diverse constituency in his district that wants elected officials to take action now, so future generations can point to this era as the time when policy solutions were enacted to avoid the dire circumstances that will surely follow if no action is taken.
In 2012, power plants and major industrial facilities in Ohio emitted more than 130 million metric tons of carbon pollution—an amount equal to the yearly pollution from more than 28 million cars, according to published information. The rate of warming in the Midwest has markedly accelerated over the past few decades, sources note. Between 1900 and 2010, the average Midwest air temperature increased by more than 1.5°F. Since 1991, the amount of rain falling in very heavy precipitation events has been significantly above average.
Many efforts are already underway to mitigate and respond to the impacts of climate change in the Buckeye State and calculating the response now includes changing the mind of Congressman Tiberi.
In early April, a spokesperson for Congressman Tiberi told CGE, "Congressman Tiberi knows about Chasing Ice and has spoken with director/producer Jeff Orlowski when Jeff was visiting Central Ohio, and our policy staff has had an extensive meeting with him. Congressman Tiberi certainly appreciates informed constituents advocating for causes they care about and Congressman Tiberi anticipates the conversation continuing."
To benchmark how little attention Mr. Tiberi has previously given to environmental issues in general and clean water in particular, the gold standard of environmental advocacy groups, the Sierra Club, awards perfect spheres to him and six other Ohio GOP congressmen. By contrast, The Club for Growth, which promotes high growth through economic freedom and limited government, rates the 51-year old Tiber 64-percent on lifetime issues.
Now that Orlowski and his "Chasing Ice" crew have wrapped up their approximately two-month stay in the heart of the 12th District, Climate Change, which probably wasn't on Tiber's policy radar this year, has now been confirmed by a spokesman as an official blip. After screening the film about 65 times to an audience of about 8,000 and distribution of 4,000-plus DVDs, what's on the minds of constituents today may well be on Tiberi's mind tomorrow.
Constituents are telling him it's alright to change his position. At film screenings held around the district, old and young, men and women, singles and couples, were asked to write their message to Congressman Tiberi on why he should watch the film and stop denying or delaying what scientists across the board now know is fact.
One of Tiber's constituents, Bob Place, wrote, "I am in your district, I taught chemistry at Otterbein for 40 years. global warming is real, undeniable and frightening. please help lead us to make common sense decisions for our children's future."
Another, Beth Grace wrote, "Everyday is earth day. Use your power for good." Still others called on his to "dare to inspire change, be part of the solution" while one coached "we have the power to speak, you have the power to act." Tim Dunning wrote, "The time has come to align policy with science. Please continue to learn about climate science."
Robert McCollister, an Adjunct Professor of Government at Shawnee State University who also works as a football and track coach at Rock Hill High School in Lawrence County, told CGE via email that Climate Change is not a far-off, potential problem, but a reality whose consequences are already evident. McCollister said he had seen both Chasing Ice and the PBS NOVA on the Extreme Ice Survey.
"I was instantly enthusiastic about their outreach to Rep. Tiberi, and volunteered to help," McCollister said. "I see this campaign as very important, because if we are able to win over Rep. Tiberi without being confrontational, this could become a model that can be taken to other members of Congress, and thus perhaps lead to action on climate change." McCollister also makes presentations mostly in Ohio's southern counties based on Al Gore's controversial "Inconvenient Truth." Reactions to his presentations, he says, have been very enthusiastic as people decide to volunteer in the fight against Climate Change. The greatest difficulty to McCollister is taking the message to a larger audience. "Given the failure of the traditional media to seriously address the issue," he said, "I see Jeff's and the Chasing Ice Team's efforts as potentially a way to break through and reach the larger public."
To some of that larger public, Tiberi becomes a hero if he acknowledge and acts. Not only do they want Mr. Tiberi to watch the film, something his office has previously declined to confirm to CGE, they want him to act on the message of the film. Orlowski believes sharing the imagery and sharing the evidence of his film with Tiberi's constituents enables them to convince the congressman to move forward to at least acknowledge the undeniable common sense science says is real and ongoing.
Orlowski and the Chasing Ice crew believe the only way to make progress with Climate Change is to urge political leaders to understand the science. "Unlike other campaigns, this tour focuses on supporting one Congressman at a time, providing them with both the visual evidence and the support they need from their constituents," the Ohio Chasing Ice Tour webpage advertises.
Some faith-based constitutes asked Tiberi to "listen with your heart" in order to "act for our kids and grandkids." Some were not merely entreating him to do the right thing, but want action now. Denial and delay are not options, one exclaimed before calling for a "carbon tax now." One person put it all in context: "I live in your district but we all live on this planet. Please protect the world we share."
Breann Gonzales, Congressman Tiberi's spokesman, told CGE that Tiberi staff have met with Mr. Orlowski on a number of occasions. "He has continued to say that he believes climate change is a global problem that requires a global solution and that the United States can't go it alone," she said. "The office has received a handful of communications from people that have seen the film and are interested in knowing Congressman Tiberi's position."
Orlowski followed film screenings with interactive Q&A discussions he hopes connects "the dots between changes we are seeing worldwide and the impact that these changes are having on central Ohio."
President Obama appears ready to take on Climate Change this year, so Tiberi and other GOP officials who do what Orlowski and others want them to do, acknowledge the science behind melting glaciers, may have to walk a fine line between coming around to the science while not appearing to be on the same side of the issue as the White House. In a Rolling Stone article on the subject, Mr. Obama's "glory days of hope and change" are said to be fading fast as his approval rating has flat-lined below 50 percent and as candidates jockey for 2016.
For Obama, author Jeff Goodell writes, "the game ain't over yet ... In the next few months, he [Obama] will take one of the biggest gambles of his presidency by testing the radical proposition that even SUV-loving Americans believe that global warming is real and are ready to do something about it."
The president could be right or he could be wrong. Orlowski and company believe the time is ripe to push the message of the science. If Obama is wrong, Democrats could lose control of the Senate this fall, and as Goodell puts it, "blow the last opportunity we have to save ourselves from life on a superheated planet."
If this experiment in Tiberi's district can generate momentum beyond the direct outreach a collaborative of like-minded groups and individuals can bring when on point for two months, then Orlowski and crew can show that not only can they film science at work, they can cut through the noise from Climate Change naysayers by giving politicians like Congressman Tiberi a solid patch of scientific ground to stand on, so they can stride forward with confidence to a position they once thought unimaginable.

Game Notes as Downloadable PDF
DEKALB, Ill. - Northern Illinois will look to remain unbeaten in the 2010 calendar year, when the Huskies take on visiting Eastern Michigan in a Mid-American Conference West Division battle at the Convocation Center Saturday beginning at 1 p.m. The Huskies enter the game on a four-game winning streak, the longest of its kind since the 2005-06 season.
NIU is coming off Wednesday's 87-77 win over Western Michigan in the Huskies' MAC home opener. Sophomore guard Mike DiNunno tallied his first-career double-double with a season-high 21 points, including a career-high six three-pointers, to go along with a career-best 10 assists. Joining DiNunno in double figures was junior center Sean Kowal (18 points, team-high seven rebounds), junior guard Xavier Silas (15 points on 9-12 from free throw line) and junior guard Darion "Jake" Anderson (12 points, six rebounds, four assists). WMU was led by MAC leading scorer David Kool's 23 points on 7-of-14 shooting.
NIU drilled 12 three-pointers, a season-high, and dished out a season-best tying 21 assists on 28 field goals. With the win, the Huskies improved to 4-0 in the month of January, and secured their first 2-0 start to a MAC season since the 1980-81 campaign.
Northern Illinois will travel to Toledo, Ohio to take on the Rockets in its fourth-straight MAC-West divisional outing on Wednesday (Jan. 20) night, with tip-off from Savage Arena scheduled for 6 p.m. CST. Toledo enters Sunday's contest at Ball State with a 3-13 (0-2 MAC) record, and has dropped six-straight contests, including the Rockets' first two MAC games.
Northern Illinois will be looking to start out 3-0 in Mid-American Conference play for the first time since the 1980-81 campaign Saturday ... Northern Illinois is 42-42 at the Convocation Center since playing its first game at the facility on Nov. 23, 2002 ... The Huskies have compiled a 22-29 record against MAC opponents at the Convocation Center over those seven seasons ... Eastern Michigan recorded a 75-61 win over NIU in the last meeting between the two schools (3/4/09 in Ypsilanti, Mich.), but the Huskies defeated the Eagles, 72-52, on Jan. 20, 2009 in DeKalb ... Head coach Ricardo Patton owns a 144-62 home record as a college head coach, dating back to his 12-year run at Colorado ... During NIU's four-game winning streak, the Huskies are averaging 78.5 points, 40.8 rebounds, 18.8 assists against just 15.0 turnovers, 8.0 steals and and 4.5 blocks per game -- NIU is shooting 46.5 percent from the field, 48.8 percent from three-point range and 67.3 percent from the free throw line during the stretch ... Junior guard Darion "Jake" Anderson, who passed the 400-rebound plateau Wednesday night versus Western Michigan, is approaching several milestones -- along with chasing 1,000 points (978), Anderson is also nearing 200 career assists (192) -- he would be just the second NIU player in the Division I era to score 1,000 points, pull down 400 or more rebounds and dish out at least 200 assists ... Senior forward Najul Ervin enters the EMU game with 195 points, and is just five tallies away from becoming the third active NIU player to boast at least 200 career points and 200 rebounds.
» Record its first five-game winning streak since tallying the feat twice during the 2002-03 campaign
» Start out 3-0 in Mid-American Conference play for just the fourth time as a MAC member (1976-77, 1977-78, 1980-81)
» Record its second-straight win over EMU at the Convocation Center, and the ninth in the last 10 meetings in DeKalb
» Drop to 4-4 at home this season
» Lose its first MAC game of the season, and have its four-game winning streak snapped
» Fall to Eastern Michigan for the second-straight time
Northern Illinois enters Saturday's game with a 6-8 overall record, and is off to a 2-0 start in Mid-American Conference play. The Huskies are 4-0 in the month of January, and have out-scored those opponents by nearly 13 points per game (+12.4). NIU is 4-3 at home this season, with wins over Tennessee State (11/20/09), Maryland Eastern Shore (12/22/09), North Dakota (1/2/2010) and Western Michigan (1/13/2010).
The Huskies are being led offensively by junior guard Xavier Silas, who is averaging a team-high 18.7 points per game in nine starts this season. Junior backcourt mate Darion "Jake" Anderson has provided 10.4 points and a team-high 7.2 rebounds per contest while shooting nearly 43 percent (.424) from the field, and almost 70 percent (.692) from the free throw line. Junior center Sean Kowal has added 9.9 points and 5.3 rebounds per game on a 53 percent effort from the field.
NIU is averaging 65.5 points per game, and allowing its opponents to score 68.5 points per contest. The Huskies are shooting 40.6 percent from the field, 30.1 percent from three-point range and 60.1 percent from the free throw line. NIU is out-rebounding its opponents by more than three caroms (+3.1) per game, and is averaging 16.5 turnovers per contest.
At home, the Huskies are averaging 71.1 points per game, and are out-rebounding their opponents by nearly five per game, 39.3-34.4. Silas is averaging 21.0 points in three home games, while Anderson is scoring 13.1 points and pulling down 8.3 rebounds per home contest. Sean Kowal's 18-point (8-11 shooting) effort against Western Michigan pushed his home scoring average into double digits (11.3 ppg).
Eastern Michigan, which defeated visiting Toledo (74-59) in its MAC home opener on Wednesday, is 9-6 on the season, and has won three-of its last four games. The Eagles are 2-4 on the road this season, with wins over Oakland (11/14/09) and Southeast Missouri (11/24/09).
The Eagles are led by junior forward Brandon Bowdry, who is averaging a team-high 18.5 points per game, and a MAC-best 10.5 rebounds per contest. Bowdry leads the MAC with nine double-doubles this season. Senior point guard Carlos Medlock has added 14.3 points per game to go along with 56 assists, while senior forward Justin Dobbins is averaging 11.1 points per game on a 65 percent field goal shooting effort in eight starts.
EMU is averaging 67.9 points per game, and allowing its opponents to score 66.0 points per contest. The Eagles have out-rebounded their 15 opponents by an average of 1.6 boards per game, and are averaging 14.3 turnovers per contest.
As if securing its first four-game winning streak since the 2005-06 MAC-West championship season wasn't enough, Wednesday's win over Western Michigan represented several single-game highs and season-best marks for the Huskies. NIU drilled a season-best tying 12 three-pointers in the contest, dished out a season-high 21 assists on its 28 field goals and had a season-high nine blocks, the most for NIU since posting nine blocks against Loyola-Chicago on Dec. 15, 2007. The Huskies also erased a 14-point first-half deficit, their largest deficit overcome to win a game this season.
The development continues. Arguably, sophomore point guard Mike DiNunno deserves as much credit for NIU's recent success as anyone on the Huskie roster. In the last six games, DiNunno is averaging 10.8 points and 4.5 assists per game, and has drilled 15 three-pointers. What is more relevant to the Huskies' recent surge, however, is DiNunno's ability to direct the offense, and protect the ball -- his assist/turnover ratio in the last six games is 3.86 (27 assists, seven turnovers). DiNunno enters Saturday's game as the MAC's leader in assists (15), and is second in assist/turnover ratio (5.00) through the league's first two contests.
Junior guard Xavier Silas is quickly becoming a familiar name at the Mid-American Conference headquarters. After averaging 24.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and three assists per game in a pair of road wins last week, Silas was named the MAC-West Player of the Week for the period ending Jan. 10, the league office announced Monday morning. Silas has now earned two-consecutive West Division Player of the Week plaudits, and was tabbed the MAC Male Scholar Athlete of the Week to wrap up the month of December (12/29/09).
Northern Illinois head coach Ricardo Patton has used six different starting combinations this season, but seems to have found the lineup that will lead NIU in the foreseeable future, and for good reason. The Huskies' starting combination of Darion "Jake" Anderson, Mike DiNunno, Xavier Silas, Michael Fakuade and Lee Fisher has compiled a 5-1 record in the past five games.
Junior guard Xavier Silas' impact on Northern Illinois' success through the first 14 games of the season has certainly not gone unnoticed. Four-of the Huskies' six wins this season have come with Silas in the lineup (he sat out five games with a fractured shooting hand suffered in the season opener at Northwestern), and NIU is averaging more than eight more points, over two more rebounds and more than four more assists per game than the contests he did not appear in. The Huskies' free throw percentage this season has also improved from a 54 percent clip to a 62.8 percent mark with Silas in the lineup.
The countdown has officially begun. Junior guard Darion "Jake" Anderson enters Wednesday's game with 978 career points, and is just 22 tallies away from becoming the 28th player in NIU history to score 1,000 or more points. If he accomplishes the feat this season, Anderson would be just the 15th player in the NIU basketball annals to reach the 1,000-point plateau before the end of his third season. Anderson is the Huskies' career active leader in points, rebounds (402), assists (192), steals (85), field goals (325), three-point field goals (77) and free throws (251) made, and total minutes played (2,162/30.5 mpg).
Junior Darion "Jake" Anderson, one of the Mid-American Conference's most consistent scorers the past two seasons, has seen his scoring average dip by more than six points per game this season, but has been on a tear in the rebounding department. The 6-foot-2 guard currently boasts the nation's best rebounding average for a player standing 6-foot-2 or less (7.2 rpg). Anderson became just the third NIU guard in the Division I era to lead the Huskies in rebounding last season.
The Huskies finished the 2008-09 season with 239 steals, which was the second-highest single-season total in program history, trailing just the 259 steals recorded during the 1994-95 campaign. NIU's 8.0 steal per game average was also the third-best total for a single-season. Darion "Jake" Anderson (46 steals) and Mike DiNunno (44) combined for 90 steals, with both efforts ranking in the top-15 individual marks in NIU history. This season, NIU is averaging 7.4 steals per game, which would qualify as the ninth-best single-season average in program history.
As simple as it may sound, the Northern Illinois men's basketball team is at its best when it is shooting the ball well. The Huskies are 5-0 when shooting a better percentage than their opponent this season, and 19-6 over the past three campaigns. In addition, the Huskies are 5-0 when shooting 35 percent or better from three-point range this season.
Northern Illinois sophomore guard Mike DiNunno became the third player this season to record a double-double with his 21 points and 10 assists versus Western Michigan (1/16/2010). The Huskies' junior tandem of Darion "Jake" Anderson and Sean Kowal have also posted a combined three double-doubles. Anderson's sixth-career double-double (15 points, 10 rebounds) came against Maryland Eastern Shore (12/22/09), while Kowal secured his third-career double-double (18 points, 10 rebounds) in the previous contest versus Tennessee State (Nov. 20). Anderson first double-double this season came with 23 points and 13 rebounds against Southeast Missouri (11/22/09).
As the old cliche' goes, it's not how you start, but how you finish. But how it starts may be just as important for the Northern Illinois basketball team. Under head coach Ricardo Patton, when the Huskies lead at halftime, they have compiled a record of 17-6. When NIU trails at intermission, it is just 3-42 the past two-plus seasons.
When Northern Illinois has been on the positive side of the rebounding ledger the past two seasons, it has enjoyed significant success. Twenty-one of the Huskies' 22 wins under head coach Ricardo Patton have occurred when NIU has out-rebounded its opponent.
One year after being picked to finish sixth in the Mid-American Conference West Division, Northern Illinois was slotted second in the 2009-10 preseason media poll, as announced by the conference office on Oct. 28. In addition, junior guard Darion "Jake" Anderson was named to the preseason West Division All-MAC team for the second-consecutive season. The Huskies were picked second behind division favorite Central Michigan, who swept NIU last season.

Rumor: Sony Ericsson PSP phone available in March next year
Although we've heard it could be officially unveiled this Thursday (on December 9), the Sony Ericsson PSP phone, aka Sony Ericsson Zeus Z1, may not hit the shelves until March next year.
ITProPortal claims to have spoken to someone at Sony Ericsson, who "confirmed" that the PSP phone would be launched in March. It's said that, prior to the launch, Sony Ericsson will showcase the handset in Barcelona during MWC 2011 (February), as well as at CeBIT 2011 in Germany.
Reportedly, the Z1 "was referred to as the Playstation Phone rather than the PSP phone" – not that it matters too much what name it will get in the end.
The PSP phone will run the newly-announced Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, possibly featuring a 3.7 inch WVGA display, an ARM processor of at least 1GHz, 512MB RAM, and an 8GB microSD card.

Tom Gray
Tom Gray enters his seventh season as co-head coach at UIC, and his ninth season overall with the Flames.
Gray, who served as an assistant coach along side current co-head coach Sarah O'Malley Fisher in his first two years in the Windy City, has helped keep UIC's winning tradition alive during his tenure at the helm of the program.
Last season, sophomore Sarah Clynes became the seventh player in school history to earn Horizon League Co-Player of the Year honors. The designated player/pitcher also tabbed Horizon League First Team accolades after posting a career-high .391 batting average with 61 hits, 32 runs scored, 28 RBI and a team-leading five homers.
The Flames dominated throughout the season with an upset over No. 19 Georgia Tech early in the season, followed by a 12-inning victory over crosstown rival Loyola, which earned the team a spot in the 2007 Horizon League Tournament semifinals.
In 2006, the Flames claimed the Horizon League Regular-Season title and battled their way to the tournament title game. Clynes was named Horizon League Newcomer of the Year, while also earning second team and all-newcomer team honors as well.
In 2005, Cameron Astiazaran was named Horizon League Player of the Year and became the fifth UIC player to receive All-America accolades. Joyce Cathey and Sara Hernandez picked up first team honors and the Flames enjoyed their third conference regular-season title in four years with a 14-4 league record.
In 2004, UIC recorded its 11th 40-win season in the last 12 years, finishing with a record of 42-23. The Flames took home the Horizon League regular-season title with a 16-1 mark and then advanced to the NCAA Regional Championships by taking the Horizon League Tournament title on their home field.
UIC made plenty of noise at regionals in Ann Arbor, Mich., posting a trio of wins at the event. After an opening-round loss to #10 Tennessee, the Flames rebounded to eliminate Bowling Green, #25 Notre Dame and the Lady Vols, before dropping a 6-5 decision to #20 Oregon State in the semifinal round.
The Flames received numerous accolades for their efforts in 2004. UIC boasted the Horizon League Player of the Year (Amanda Rivera), Pitcher of the Year (Alison Aguilar) and Newcomer of the Year (Elizabeth Jacoby) while eight different players earned All-Horizon League recognition.
Gray and O'Malley-Fisher were honored as the Horizon League's Co-Coaches of the Year, marking the first time either had received the award.
On a nation level, Rivera, Aguilar and Cameron Astiazaran took home NFCA All-Region honors and Rivera became the fourth player in UIC softball history to garner NFCA/Louisville Slugger All-America recognition.
The 2003 season was one of highs and lows for the Flames, but on a squad with five rookie starters and no seniors it provided plenty of hope for the future.
After a sluggish start to the season, UIC rallied in conference play to finish with an 11-7 mark in a competitive Horizon League race. At the league tournament, the Flames won their first game, but then suffered a pair of heart-breaking one-run losses, ending their string of five straight championships.
The campaign wasn't without its highlights and accolades, though, as UIC placed six athletes on the All-Horizon League squad while Amanda Rivera earned a spot on the NFCA All-Region squad for the third straight season.
The 2002 season proved to be all a rookie head coach could hope for, as armed with a senior loaded lineup the Flames hit their way to 42 wins, a league title, and an NCAA Regional bid.
During the regular season, UIC captured three non-conference tournament titles, taking home the crown at the Mizzou Round-Robin and snow-shortened Tulsa Holiday Inn-Select Festival, as well as the Bronze Bracket championship at the NFCA Leadoff Classic. In league competition, the Flames continued their winning ways, going 12-2 in the Horizon League to earn the tournament's top seed. At the championship, UIC flexed its offensive firepower, outscoring its opponents 37-3 while posting a team batting average of .465 en route to the tournament title.
That offensive output was nothing new for the Flames, though, as they ranked nationally for team batting average and home runs all season long. UIC also set a new school record for team home runs in 2002, belting 56 round-trippers in just 65 games.
The leader of the pack was Edel Leyden, who enjoyed a career year in 2002, batting .377 with 56 RBI and a school record 15 home runs. For her efforts, Leyden earned NFCA Third-Team All-American honors, becoming just the third UIC softball player to become an All-American.
In his first two years as an assistant under Mike McGovern, Gray helped coach the team to two conference tournament championships, one regular season conference championship, and two NCAA regional tournament appearances.
All in all at UIC, she has coached 12 All-Conference First Team players, 11 All-Great Lakes Region players, and four All-Americans.
Prior to UIC, as head coach at Crossroads High School in Santa Monica, Calif., he lead his team to nine league championships, winning every season from 1990-98. During that span, Gray was named California Interscholastic Federation Coach of the Year three times, earning the honor in 1992, 1993 and 1996.
While at Crossroads, Gray also took on assistant coaching duties for the Orange County Batbusters, an ASA 18-and-under gold team. During his tenure with the Batbusters, he helped the team earn the reputation as one of the premier under-18 programs in the nation, winning the Gold National Championship in 1997 and finishing second in 1998.
Accompanying his impressive coaching resume, Gray has also established a sterling reputation as an educator. He taught at the high school level for 10 years and served as the assistant athletics director at Crossroads from 1992-93.

And for use in cars, it comes with a charging window and dashboard mount that enables charging while the phone is in use.

Yikes! Keeping up with the Joneses re: the babe's nursery is an undertaking. We've seen some posh nurseries out there! If a basic lullaby-playing plastic mobile won't do over your darling's crib, instead hang the Orbital Mobile ($299) from Restoration Hardware Baby & Child.

Yes, they are a bit reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, and you're probably thinking knee socks in June? But these soft Centered Big Stripe Socks ($16) from Sock Dreams are perfect for summer. Made from lightweight soft stretchy cotton and elastane, they're not hot at all. You can fold them over or scrunch them down. They're really pretty versatile, and we're not embarrassed to tell you that we're hoping to be Alice to Johny Depp's Mad Hatter. Even though he has orange hair, he still makes us swoon. Uh, back to the socks. They come in lots of striped colors, but we're partial to the Rose/Fushia combo.

"The seminars alone were extremely beneficial, but so was the setting. Learning and exploring the cultural differences was a seminar in itself. It is difficult not to overstate the importance of the trip on a cultural, historical, and aesthetic basis as well as the numerous benefits that the students and I received. The seminars expanded my base knowledge of foreign affairs, economics, and legal aspects, brought across many new aspects about mass media in foreign countries, and gave me a new perspective of the media in the United States and Europe.
"Through the seminar, I was able to compare and contrast how international news is covered in the United States and Europe. Some areas discussed included the U.S. and the foreign news coverage of the major broadcasters and its steady decline in the number of stories aired in a year due to the lack of bureau presence by any of the major networks in Paris. The trip to the International Herald Tribune and FR2/FR3 also increased my knowledge of international news coverage.
"It was interesting to watch the students learn to navigate around the city or to purchase items with their limited vocabulary. It became a sense of pride like a medal worn on the jackets. Each new task represented a growing sense of self-esteem and their ability to flourish in a foreign country gave them a feeling they could take on and conquer new challenges or face any obstacles that arose.
"The ultimate goal would be to make a trip such as the International Media Seminar or another college-sponsored trip a requirement for those who graduate with an emphasis in mass communications. We must prepare our students for the challenges that face them, whether it's the convergence of the media or the globalization of the world.
"One last item that does not fit into any category but is valuable to say the least is a connection with the students who went on the trip, a connection that will last far beyond their college years. That is also truly invaluable."
— Ward Bryant, assistant professor of communications, Missouri Southern State University

Is "We are quit" (meaning "We're even, no more mutual obligations") a usage from the 18–19th centuries?
Or are the examples of this on Google hits just people making it up (possibly a bad cognate from German "Wir sind quitt")?
Yet another General Reference question far better answered simply by bothering to consult a proper dictionary than by dubious stabs at random Google Ngrams.
This is not a "Victorian" use; indeed, it is considerably older than that, and its use has persisted until our current day. It isn't marked archaic or even obsolete. Citations extend throughout the 20th century all the way up to 1997. Certain senses are indeed marked obsolete, but the main use is still extant.
The following OED entry was itself last updated in 2007, as shown at the very bottom.
This book from 1729 uses "we are quit" in precisely that way:

Loris Sofia Gregory, Healthy Kitchen Coach, Apple Valley, MN
Valley Natural Foods, 13750 County Road 11, Burnsville, MN 55337
May in Minnesota has our taste buds perking up for those perennial delightful flavors of asparagus and rhubarb. Though asparagus was not grown in the New World until around 1850, there are directions for cooking it in the oldest surviving recipe book created by a Roman food lover in the third century. Asparagus has a long coveted reputation as a vegetable and a medicine, owing to its delicate flavor and its bountiful fiber, protein, beneficial vitamins and minerals. Look for the youngest thin shoots of asparagus, as once the buds start to open the shoots quickly turn woody.
If you are lucky enough to procure some fresh asparagus this month, wrap asparagus in a plastic bag and place in the refrigerator vegetable crisper. Use as soon as possible, within one or two days, before its natural sugars turn to starches. If you cannot use asparagus for more than a day, either wrap the ends in a damp paper towel or bundle the spears with a rubber band and stand them upright in a container in an inch of water.
The website of Featherstone Farm in Rushford Village, Minnesota offers these suggestions for enjoying the spring flavors of asparagus, courtesy of Mi Ae Lipe's Tastes from the Valley to Bluff: The Featherstone Farm Cookbook (2008).
• If you find young, tender asparagus stalks the width of a pencil, serve them raw with a favorite dip.
• Serve steamed asparagus warm topped with butter and Parmesan cheese.
• Serve steamed or grilled asparagus cold with a simple vinaigrette, or olive oil, lemon juice and sea salt.
• Slice into 1-inch pieces and stir-fry with other vegetables in a wok with a little peanut or sesame oil.
• Add cooked asparagus to your favorite omelet or scrambled eggs. • Substitute asparagus for leeks in a quiche, or combine the two.
• Place parboiled or steamed asparagus spears, tomatoes, mushrooms, and shredded mozzarella cheese on top of focaccia or flat bread for an elegant garden pizza.
• Asparagus and morel mushrooms, lightly sautéed in butter, are a magical combination.
Though coveted as medicine for thousands of years in China, rhubarb as food is a relatively recent innovation. Commoners in 17th century England first realized the delights of rhubarb, after sugar became affordable to the masses. An affordable sweet for children in parts of the United Kingdom and Sweden was a tender stick of rhubarb, dipped in sugar. Rhubarb is still enjoyed this way in western Finland, Norway and Iceland. Chileans sell rhubarb on the street with salt or dried pepper instead of sugar.
Like asparagus, rhubarb doesn't require much of you. Let fresh flavorful rhubarb be its own star. Cut up the stalks into 1-inch pieces, add a smidge of water and let the pieces simmer gently in their own juice until soft. Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of sugar for each pound of rhubarb and add cinnamon and/or nutmeg to taste. A tablespoon of lime juice or lemon juice also adds some tang. Wrap unwashed rhubarb stalks in a plastic bag and refrigerate in the vegetable crisper, where it will keep up to 10 days. In her novella The First Four Years, American author Laura Ingalls Wilder refers to "pie plant," which has become rhubarb's slang name as well as one of the favorite ways to enjoy it.
Additional ideas for your fresh rhubarb, also courtesy of The Featherstone Farm Cookbook, include:
• Top your breakfast cereal with sweetened rhubarb.
• Add very thin slices of rhubarb to spring soups or salads, or anywhere a bit of tartness is welcome.
• Combine rhubarb with oranges, cherries, raspberries or strawberries for a tasty chutney.
• Light, tangy and sweet rhubarb sauce makes a delectable topping for ice cream, pudding, custard or pound cake.
See many more ideas for enjoying fresh spring vegetables at http://featherstonefarm.com/the-crops/. For tasty samples, coaching and more inspiring ideas for healthy eating this month, I look forward to meeting you at my:

PCs accounted for less than half of DRAM sales in the second quarter
Decline shows we are entering a 'post-PC era'
WE ARE ENTERING a "post-PC era", according to IHS Isuppli, whose latest report shows that desktop computers accounted for less than 50 percent of DRAM sales in the second quarter.
PCs in the second quarter accounted for 49 percent of DRAM shipments, down from 50.2 percent in the first quarter, information and analytics firm IHS Isuppli's DRAM Dynamics Brief reported.
"The fall is notable, given that the share of PCs hasn't dipped below 50 percent since the 1980s, when personal computers were a new product whose sales were rising at rapid clip," the firm said in a statement.
"This event symbolises the decline of the PC market because of smartphone and media tablets."
However, the firm's memory analyst Clifford Leimbach said that the arrival of the post-PC era doesn't mean that people will stop using personal computers, or even necessarily that the PC market will stop expanding.
"What the post-PC era does mean is that personal computers are not at the centre of the technology universe anymore-and are seeing their hegemony over the electronics supply chain erode," Leimbach said.
"PCs are no longer generating the kind of growth and overwhelming market size that can single-handedly drive demand, pricing and technology trends in some of the major technology businesses."
Leimbach added that DRAM suppliers are instead turning their attention to serving the needs of fast-expanding new markets for smartphones and tablets.
"This follows other indications of the waning influence of the PC business in the electronics business. Such factors include the declining power of the Wintel alliance, as well as Apple Inc.'s smartphone- and tablet-driven ascendency to chip purchasing leadership above traditional PC-oriented frontrunners like Hewlett-Packard." µ

An ancient strategy game for 2 players who try to outwit each other by placing stones on the board to simulate the capturing of territory.
Go (baduk, Korean; wei qi, Chinese) is an ancient strategy game for 2 players who try to outwit each other by placing stones on a 19x19 board to simulate the capturing of territory. If stones of one color completely surround stones of another color, such that the surrounded stones have no liberties (adjacent open spaces), then the surrounded stones are captured by the attacker and removed from the board.
The game ends when both players pass, seeing no advantage to playing more stones. There are variations in scoring rules, but under the common Japanese scoring system points are awarded 1 for each open space of territory that a player surrounds, and 1 for each opponent's stone captured.
Go questions regarding any aspect of the game, at any level, are welcome. For specific positional questions, diagrams are extremely useful (see below). "Why" questions, strategy questions, rules questions, joseki and joseki-deviation questions, equipment questions, bring 'em all!
To avoid confusion with the common English word, references to the game of Go should always be capitalized.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
Alabama football head coach Nick Saban took time out of his spring practice schedule to congratulate the 2014 SEC and NCAA Regional Champion Crimson Tide gymnastics team Monday afternoon.
Saban, who also spoke with the gymnastics team prior to their trips to the 2011, 2012 and 2013 NCAA Championships, emphasized that the key to the gymnasts' continued success was staying within themselves.
"The culmination of what you've worked for all year is about to happen," Saban said. "The most important thing is be where your feet are - stay focused on what you need to focus on in that moment so that you have the best chance to succeed."
The coach of the Tide's 2009, 2011 and 2012 BCS Football Championship teams, Saban commended the gymnasts for winning UA's eighth Southeastern Conference title last month. He also congratulated the team for qualifying for this week's national championships by winning its NCAA-best 29th regional title.
"You have to focus on the moment that you are in, whatever you're doing today, whatever you're doing right now to prepare yourself, so that you have the best chance to be successful and take advantage of the opportunity that you have," Saban said. "And it is an opportunity, so it should be a fun thing. You've created an opportunity for yourself and you should embrace the moment."
The Tide will travel to nearby Birmingham, site of this year's NCAA Championships, on Wednesday and will go through practice day in Birmingham Jefferson Convention Center on Thursday and will be in semifinal session No. 2 on Friday, starting at 7 p.m. CT. Winner of two of the last three NCAA Championships, Alabama will be competing for its seventh national title overall in the BJCC where it won the 2014 SEC Championship earlier this season.
Tickets for the 2014 NCAA Championships are available at www.gymnasticschamps.com. Fans can keep up with the Tide via Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube by following BamaGymnastics.

Flowers, Dramatic foliage
Skill level
The 'Blue Globe' is an effective clump-forming perennial with round, dark blue flower-heads that open in mid- and late summer. The spiny, shapely leaves are also a big attraction. Once the flowers have finished, cut them right back to get a second flush. Like other globe thistles, it attracts plenty of butterflies and bees, and the cut flowers are good when dried. Grow at the front of a border because they don't obstruct views, and are very tactile.

Westmister Hall
This famous building is the judicial and administrative centre of the UK.
The Importance of Westminster Hall
The Westminster Hall was designed originally as a place for feasting and entertaining, but its very size made it more than that. Among other uses, the Royal Council of bishops, nobles and ministers assembled there. The special later form of this Council, which came to be known as Parliament, was the forerunner of the present House of Lords. It was also the site of the first true English Parliament to include elected representatives, summoned by Simon de Montfort in 1265. While Parliament has never met in the Westminster Hall on a regular basis, it was the existence of the Hall, which at that time was the largest in Europe, which helped to make Westminster the judicial and administrative centre of the kingdom.
History of Westminster Hall
The Palace was one of the monarch's principal homes throughout the later Middle Ages, and for this reason the institutions of Government came to be clustered in the Westminster area. To the east and south of the Hall lay the domestic apartments of the mediaeval Palace, and later, the royal chapel of St Stephen. Kings worshipped in the upper Chapel and their courtiers in the lower level or "crypt" chapel below.
The Westminster Hall, of which the walls were built in 1097-99, as part of an intended reconstruction of the whole palace, is the oldest existing building on the Palace of Westminster site. The Westminster Hall was also the traditional venue for Coronation banquets.
During later centuries, the Westminster Hall housed the courts of law, and was the place of many notable state trials, for instance, those of Thomas More, Charles I, Warren Hastings, and the Gunpowder Plot conspirators. With its many shops and stalls, selling wigs, pens, books and other legal paraphernalia, it became one of the chief centres of London life.
Modern Uses of Westminster Hall
The Westminster Hall, which survived the fire of 1834 and the bombing of 1941, is now used for major public ceremonies. Among recent events there have been the presentation of Addresses to the Queen on the Silver Jubilee in 1977, to mark 50 years since the end of World War II in 1995, and the opening of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference in 1986. On these occasions, the Westminster Hall is brightly lit and decked with flowers and coloured hangings, and presents an altogether different public face from its normal rather sombre appearance.
The Westminster Hall is also the place where lyings in state of monarchs, consorts, and (rarely) very distinguished statesmen take place. The first such occasion was Gladstone in 1898, followed by, in the last century, King George VI [1952], Queen Mary [1953] and Sir Winston Churchill [1965]. In April 2002 several hundred thousand people queued to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth, the late Queen Mother, as she lay in state in the Westminster Hall.

June 2011: The Future of CSR Reporting
The Future of CSR Reporting
During the day, we examined the question of whether or not corporations should be including societal-level goals in their CSR programs and reporting. What are the pros and cons of encouraging corporations to set/adopt societal-level goals? If there is a virtue to adopting such goals, on what basis should corporations identify those that are appropriate and justify their choices? How should they relate these goals to their company-level CSR goals and policies? How should they report on them and measure their success against them?
This convening was held on June 21, 2011.

--Olympic Flame Keeps Burning in the Pac-12 (by Ann Killion, Pac-12.com/Aug. 12, 2012)
--Click here for an all-time list of Sun Devil medalists, including the 25 golden ones!
TEMPE - Sunday brought a close to the 2012 London Olympics and the Sun Devils made their university and respective countries proud with numerous impressive performances throughout the two weeks of non-stop action.
With 17 current or former student-athletes in competition, Arizona State had the 13th-highest total of Olympians of any Division I school in the country. With three medals earned over the course of the competition, the Sun Devils had the 21st-largest haul of any Division I institution as well.
Thanks to James Harden (men's basketball/USA) and Amy LePeilbet (women's soccer/USA), ASU brought home two gold medals for the first time since 2000 and brought the all-time total of gold medals to 25.
A brief recap of all the London action from a Sun Devil viewpoint can be found below:
James Harden became just the second Sun Devil to earn a gold medal in men's basketball as the USA downed Spain, 107-100, in the final on the closing day in London. Harden appeared in all eight games for the U.S., averaging 5.5 points in just under 10 minutes per game. Harden hit two late free throws in the gold medal match to fend off a late Spanish surge and help the team hold on for the victory.
Another former Pac-10 Player of the Year, Ike Diogu was the top player on the floor for the Nigerian national team making its first ever appearance at the Olympic Games. In five games, Diogu averaged 14.8 ppg and 9.0 rpg while also shooting an impressive 81 percent from the free throw line. Diogu played more minutes than any other player on the Nigerian squad, averaging 32.4 per game.
Eric Boateng appeared in three games for Great Britain, who were making just their second Olympic appearance. Boateng earned 4.0 ppg and 2.6 rpg in his time on the court.
Swimming and Diving:
Current ASU diver Riley McCormick, who grey shirted this season to prepare to compete for his home Canada, had the best performance in the pool for the Sun Devils as he advanced to the finals of the 10m platform competition. McCormick scored a total of 493.35 in the final round, including recording a final dive of 95.40. McCormick will return to ASU for the 2012-13 campaign for his junior season.
In the men's 3m springboard competition, former Pac-10 Diver of the Year Micky Benedetti narrowly missed advancing to the finals with a 20th-place finish in the qualifying rounds with a score of 433.05. Benedetti was just three points out of qualifying into the finals.
Former ASU swimmer Gal Nevo got things going in the pool with a 10th-place finish in the men's 400m IM. Nevo was third in his heat in the qualifying rounds in 4:14.77 and was just over a second shy of advancing to the finals in the event for Israel.
Water Polo:
The Sun Devils earned their first medal of the 2012 games in the pool as former water polo star Rowie Webster led her Australia national team to a bronze medal finish. Webster finished tied with the fifth-highest tally of goals in the entire tournament after finding the back of the net 12 times in six games. Webster, known more for her defensive prowess, was an offensive juggernaut in the team's 16-3 rout of Great Britain in the prelim rounds and scored two goals in the team's 13-11 victory over Hungary in the bronze medal match.
Incoming freshman Rita Keszthelyi was another standout as part of the fourth-place Hungarian squad, finishing in a tie for 12th in the tournament in goals scored with 10. Keszthelyi was the workhorse for Hungary, playing 183 minutes over six games, which was the fourth-highest total of all non-goalkeepers from any team in the entire tournament.
Current ASU sophomore and now two-time Olympian Gao Ao competed for the Chinese national team, scoring one goal in 58 minutes of play and appearing in all six matches.
Track and Field
Ryan Whiting, a six-time NCAA Champion, had the top finished of the five former Sun Devils taking part in the athletics portion of the Olympics. Whiting had the fourth-best throw of the qualifying rounds to advance to the final in the event with a mark of 20.78m but couldn't match that in the finals on his first three attempts as he finished with a mark of 20.64m and a ninth-place finish.
Amy Hastings was 11th in the women's 10,000-meter run with a personal best time of 31:10.69. With the finish, Hastings became just the seventh American in Olympic history to post a top-11 finish at the Olympics. In addition, Hastings' time makes her the fourth-fastest American in the event in history as well.
The men's 400-meter dash saw an unfortunate set of circumstances crop up for Donald Sanford as the former ASU All-American had his shoes stolen prior to his race. Forced to run in borrowed shoes and with no warm-up, Sanford clocked a time of 45.71 to finish 26th overall and narrowly miss advanced to the semifinals. The time was a season's best for Sanford and was the Israeli national record in the process.
In the men's 3,000-meter steeplechase, Kyle Alcorn was 28th in the prelim round with a time of 8:37.11 and did not advance out of the preliminary round.
Desiree Davila was forced to drop out of the women's marathon due to injury.
Former Arizona State University women's soccer player Amy LePeilbet became the first Sun Devil since 2004 to win a gold medal on Thursday as the U.S. women's soccer team defeated Japan, 2-1, to capture its third consecutive Olympic gold medal. LePeilbet, a 2004 graduate of ASU (B.A. in Sociology, Magna Cum Laude), started in five of the team's six matches at the London Olympics, including Thursday's gold medal game. LePeilbet had a critical goal line save from her defender position in the 74th minute to preserve the USA victory.
Kelsey Campbell, the lone woman to ever make the ASU wrestling roster, found herself in what's know in the wrestling circles as a "tough draw" in the women's 55kg freestyle competition. Campbell was paired up against eventual gold medalist Saori Yoshida in her first round matchup, a 3-0 shut out in Yoshida's favor, before having to take on former world champion and eventual bronze medalist Yuliya Ratkevich in the consolation bracket where she also fell 3-0 and was eliminated from the competition.
Zeke Jones, a former ASU Olympian as an athlete and having spent the last several Olympics as an assistant coach for the USA team, heading to the London games in his first year as head coach of the U.S. men's freestyle team. Under his guidance, U.S. wrestlers earned two golds (Jordan Burroughs, 74kg and Jacob Varner, 96kg) and one bronze (Coleman Scott, 60kg) over the course of the competition.
Alison Williamson competed in her sixth consecutive Olympic Games in her home country this year in the archery competition. The former ASU All-American and national champion finished tied for 33rd overall in the individual recurve competition while she finished tied for ninth with Great Britain in the team competition.

Exploration & lite trade: Freelancer (probably the most versatile ship)
Dogfight, PvP & support: 300i series to keep your options open or 325a for PvP ready
Serious PvP & piracy : Cutlass
Serious organised trade in group: Constellation
Ships List: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/ship-specs
Wence out
EDIT: And if you want to support SC & have your options open: Digital Freelancer with extra 300i ( i.e. $110+$55 if using paypal & original backer cost).Bearing in mind that both games will cost 2x$60 it is still quite good deal I think...
More sinister and costly all PvP option would be Pirate Pack ($100) + Hornet ($110).

1) keynotes-from-live-stream-28-jun/p1
2) This coming week the Hangar Module releases, don't forget.
3) We are expecting the updated and Variant types brochures of 3 Spacecrafts, The Constellation, The Freelancer, and The Hornet. Be prepared for some sweet mindbending which comes to no 4
4) Ship Specs
is your best fleet planner.
In my view the Best and Ugliest Dogfighter is the Hornet.
The 325a Fighter/Interceptor comes second but more of a well rounded ship too, pretty too.
The 315p for short exploration and Courier.
Freelancer for longrange exploration and small trade
Constellation is the Jack of All trades ship, but remember these ships are master of none. Although it's the utmost Explorer, Space Superiority Ship, and with a larger trade capacity in hostile space.
The Starfarer is the Best looking Space truck ever, that may fuel your economy to built a viable long fleet.
The Retaliator is the long range Bomber that will turn the tide in battle if manned enough.
The Aurora and presumably the Avenger are the Starter Ships, some say the Avenger is a bit of an upgrade from the Aurora, but if you check the Aurora already has it's variants.
SO, when you ride out to, let's say, you buy the A ship to do this role, then you would like to fund and support this role, then you either come in the need of buying a trade or race or fuel ship to fund your main ship activity.
In other words you will eventually get into a small fleet you see most of us already have, and then you will undestand why we got sucked into as well.
I started with a Constellation only....for example. Cheers

You can still get LTI can't you?
If you buy the 5k option? Is that the biggest?
How does that compare to those who backed early?
Is that LTI on all ships purchased even those not in that pack?

You can still get LTI if you are an Original or Veteran Backer....or if you either gift the package to such a person or PayPal them the funds to get it for you...but only until the cutoff date around mid to late November this year.
You may also wish to consider the whole RSI Concierge Status perk that unlocks when a person spends $1k on their account to see if that perk would interest you...and how that $1k is calculated. Basically the person who buys the item gets the value of that item credited towards their $1k Concierge status. It is the person who spends the Real world cash or Paypal funds to buy the item that gets credited.
If anyone who doesn't have access to LTI wants to get it they may wish to check out this TOG thread: http://www.theoldergamers.com/forum/...-want-lti.html
The $5k Space Marshal package only has the 5 original pledge ships (not the variants of them) and an Idris-P Corvette. All of these 6 ships being part of the package come with LTI. Other ships not listed in the package do not have LTI though unless you organise that seperately.
The $5k Space Marshall package is the 2nd largest single package still available. There is a $10k Wing Commander package which includes all five pledge ships, a custom Constellation skin, 20,000 UEC Starting Money and exclusive access to the 1 Million Mile High Club, a private facility that you run in the game.
Usual ingame names: Bloodwrych, Bloodwych, Blooodwrych, Blooodwych, Blodwrych, Blodwych
