The largest solar plant ever to be built is now working wonders in the Mohave Desert.
According to CNET on Feb. 14, some 300,000 mirrors are turning Southern California's storied sunshine into electricity for the common good.
Called The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System and owned by NRG Energy, Google, and BrightSource Energy, this facility takes up about five square miles of federal government space.
That said, here's how the world's largest solar plant works:
The mirrors, which are controlled by software, reflect the sun onto the top of three 450-foot high towers where there are boilers. These boilers contain water that become steam after being blasted by the sun, thus driving the power generators to do their work.
CNET gives an analogy by using the contrast to army men being melted with a magnifier. The site says that the new plant is basically "a large-scale version " of this "except this version creates usable electricity."
Meanwhile, Bright Source Limitless says that, after finally achieving commercial operation, the world's largest thermal solar plant at Ivanpah is now capacle of offering 140,000 California domiciles an annual dose of clean energy while managing to "avoid 400,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide." This source explains the power of this power, saying it is "equal to removing 72,000 vehicles off the road."
And so, as the largest solar plant in the world bows with 300,000 mirrors in the Mohave Desert, clean energy is being spread far and wide in Southern California.

Kazemon Tickle Art TradeKazemon flew with outstanding grace and elegance through the tunnels stretching through the huge mountain, she had found the day to be most boring and needed a good thrill so traversing the narrow, isolated tunnels of this mysterious mountain seemed the perfect fit. The gentle summer breeze flooded in from outside sending a heavenly cooling sensation through, with each mild gust bringing a smile to Kazemon's face. As she delved deeper into the mysterious mountain she began to notice strange fleshy pods lining the roofs of the winding caves and spider webbing lining the walls, shimmering in the sunlight which penetrated the darkness through deep cracks in the surrounding rock. Kazemon turned in a circle to look behind her trying to remember the path she had taken to end up so deep into the mountain when suddenly she hit something, a large sticky web that engulfed the entirety of the tunnel now held her in its embrace.

Kidnapped Bellydancer Part 2The next afternoon, as the other employees were getting ready for the evening's opening, the manager walked out of his office with a worried look on his face. Jennifer was two hours late and this sent up a red flag because she was NEVER late.
"Has anyone seen Jennifer?" He asked his workers.
When everyone in the main room shook their heads and shrugged their shoulders, his anxiety increased.
"I tried calling her cell and her house phone but I didn't get any answer." One waitress piped up. "What's worse is I've been trying all day."
If the manager wasn't on pins and needles before, he was now, especially after hearing that Jen wasn't able to be reached all day.
"Now, I AM worried." He said as he grabbed his coat. "I'm going to her house right now. Something's wrong."

On 2003′s Weatherproof EP, Cage lamented on "Haterama", "Even Bobbito said 'Fuck it I quit'." At the time, the indy hip-hop scene was in full swing, despite Stretch & Bobbito's retirement from a scene they largely helped create. The movement would still flourish healthily for another five years, built upon the sales of 12″ vinyl and albums from labels like Eastern Conference and Def Jux, that were much stronger than what was being offered in the major label market. At that time, Cage, his crew – and his competitors – showed no signs of slowing down. Then the internet happened.
While file-sharing was still a bit of a fairly new concept at the time, the people it the hardest were the indie artists and retailers. Album leaks killed the CD market, while Serato and digital DJ platforms killed the vinyl. HipHopSite.Com witnessed this first hand, as CD and vinyl sales would steadily decline over the next few years, leading to a cease of its retail operations. Distributors like Fat Beats and Caroline (the biggest indie distributor at the time) soon followed suit, and eventually both of Cage's labels – Eastern Conference and Definitive Jux Records – would fold too, among many others. The move to digital music wasn't the only paradigm shift the indie hip-hop scene wasn't ready for, but many agree that this is the one common thread where the industry failed as whole.
Cage's last album, Depart From Me, released in 2009, was one of the last albums to be released under the Definitive Jux banner. While the label was battling its own financial issues at the time, the fact that this record received mixed reviews did not help the matter. Cage was experiencing a successful stint in the indie rock scene, and this record resonated with it, finding a whole new audience for the longtime underground rapper. However the backpack audience did not appreciate the shift, as it moved too far away from his original sound. His second album, Hell's Winter, seemed to be the sweet spot of meshing the genres, that almost everyone dug.
Fast forward to 2013, it seems like it's been a lifetime since we heard a new album from Cage, despite the fact that not even five years have passed. With so many institutions of indie hip-hop disappearing, we almost assumed that we might never hear from Cage again. But last year, news popped up that Cage was back working with longtime producer Mighty Mi, and he would soon release a new album on Eastern Conference Records.
The first offering from Cage and Mighty Mi was "The Void", a dubstep fueled collaboration with vocalist Sherry St. Germaine, produced by Michael Mayeda. While the track was dope, and was a success, cracking the hip-hop charts on Beaport, Cage and Milo ultimately decided that it wasn't them, and took things back to basics for the sound of Kill The Architect. The end result is a resounding success, as Cage has created one of the best albums of his career.
The sound of Kill The Architect is all it's own, as he doesn't try to remake Movies For The Blind, nor does it bleed into rock territory as he did on Hell's Winter. It's a complete 180 from Depart From Me, and presents the darker, twisted side of Cage that we haven't heard from in years, over raw, yet melodic hip-hop beats.
The biggest change here is how understated the production is. Many of the tracks are very sparse and laid back, such as the disturbing opening track, "Lamb Of Nothing", which finds Cage setting the stage with lines like "Up to no good like the night before Halloween / Put your fuckin mask on and follow me / Through the colony / Marijuana all in me / Still cold and evil / Throw your kids off a cliff like a golden eagle." Yes, Cage is back.
He carries a largely apathetic attitude towards things, however this does not stunt his lyrics in the slightest. His cavalier, uncaring attitude comes out on songs like "Fuck This Game" and "They Suck", saying out loud the things that many of us only think about. This might be best displayed on the somber "You Were The Shit (In High School)", a condescending list of comparisons between himself and the random bros.
Milo digs deep to pull out some off kilter grooves on tracks like "Cursed" and "In Your Fur", showing he has not lost his knack for hip-hop production over the years, and if anything, has improved. Songs like "Watch Me" and "Road Kill" bring back a sound long lost, while the production dips back into his heavier Hell's Winter style on songs like "The Hunt" and "This Place", both likely mined from some respectable rock records.
While Cage has said that tracks from Depart From Me draw the biggest response at his shows, that album's new sound came at a price of some of his longtime followers. Yet an artist's evolution is to be expected, and with Kill The Architect, he comes full circle. He doesn't try to relive past glories, whether that be any of his previous records, he simply builds upon the foundation of his catalog. While the indie hip-hop scene may have seen it's best days some years ago, Cage proves that true artistry will always prevail.
Spot on
Awesome write up. Enjoyed this album start to finish. I can't agree more about this album coming full circle and building on Cage's entire catalog. It sounds like something new, but you can tell where his career has been and how it influenced this project. There is something here for fans of Cage at all stages of his career.
Now this is a review I can fully co-sign. I purchased this album and it is the dopeness!!
So damn refreshing to hear Cage get back on some ill shit. This is a great review, and certainly a must buy. This is a cunt hairs away from a classic album in my opinion…

Child Dedication is a commitment service where parents promise to raise their child in a God honoring way.
Examples from Scripture: Luke 2:22-25 where we see that as a baby, Jesus' parents dedicated Him to God's work; and Mark 10:16 we see Jesus bestowing blessings on the children.
The Dedication ceremony is a time to publicly make a commitment to pray for the child, love the child and guide the child toward a personal relationship with Christ.
"So love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, and strength. Memorize his laws and tell them to your children over and over again. Talk about them all the time, whether along the road or going to bed at night, or getting up in the morning.
Deuteronomy 6:5-7 CEV
Fox River Christian Church does not baptize children until they are old enough to articulate their understanding and belief.
The Bible assures us that every baby is secure in the Grace of God. An age or time of personal accountability comes when the individual will decide whether or not to personally respond to the Grace of God offered in personal salvation.
When does the actual commitment service take place?
We hold the commitment service as a part of our regular church service. Child Dedications are held during the Sunday service.
Can I bring other family members with me to the dedication? What about God Parents?
We ask that only the parents take part in the commitment, but we encourage you to bring family and close friends with you to share this moment with your family.
What else do you do besides the commitment in the service?
Immediately following the service, we offer a reception for your family and any extended family or close friends that you would like to invite. This approximately 1 hour event is held in our chapel and includes finger food, cake, punch and coffee. We also have talented photographers who donate their time to capture this day for your family. The photos are available digitally to you.
Is there a fee for Child Dedication?
No, this ministry is offered to all members and regular attendees of Fox River Christian Church as a service. We are thrilled to partner with your family in raising your children in a Godly home.
If you're interested in having your child dedicated at Fox River, please fill out the information below, and a staff member will contact you with the next available date for dedication.

Google has been buying robot companies, including humanoid robot-maker Boston Dynamics,Nest, the smart-home company that designs thermostats and smoke detectors and now DeepMind, an artificial intelligence startup, reports NBC News today.
Sources say DeepMind is actually being inserted into Google's oldest team: 'Search' as it is now known at Google today, the 'Knowledge' group. It no longer just finds keywords on Web pages, but instead connects larger concepts. Knowledge is led by Google SVP Alan Eustace, but DeepMind will work closely with a team led by Jeff Dean, a near 15-year Google veteran, best known for his work on distributed systems.
The pack of acquired robots will report to former Android boss Andy Rubin, and Nest will continue to be managed by Tony Fadell, who reports directly to Larry Page.
London-based DeepMind with the reported $400 million dollar price tag has not yet released any products, but sources said it was working on at least three: 'a game with very advanced game AI, a smarter recommendation system for online commerce, and something to do with images,' is how one source described it.
Deep Mind was established by computer scientist Demis Hassabis and entrepreneurs Shane Legg and Mustafa Suleyman in 2010, Deep Mind Technologies specializes in developing AI technology to create computer systems capable of playing computer games, with its goal to develop computers that 'think like humans'.
'If anyone builds something remotely resembling artificial general intelligence, this will be the team,' one early investor in DeepMind told Re/code today. 'Think Manhattan Project for AI.'
The startup company has 50 employees with $50 million in startup money. Reportedly, Larry Page beat out Facebook for it.
Amir Efrati at The Information anticipated the Google acquisition in a paywalled article in December, which laid out the "arms race" in deep learning between tech giants who are increasingly eager to hire researchers in the small field as part of general efforts to make their products smarter.
There are sceptics to Artificial Intelligence over the past sixty-five years since mathematician, John von Neuman first introduced the concept. It has had silent winters of no advancement.
Yoshua Bengio, a computer science professor at the University of Montreal, organized a deep learning workshop at the Neural Information Processing Systems conference where DeepMind presented the Atari paper.
Jeff Dean (the Google executive running the team that DeepMind is joining), was the lead author on a paper in 2012 that boasted of training a deep network '30 times larger than previously reported in the literature' for the purposes of large visual object recognition tasks and speedy speech recognition. He also worked on a somewhat famous project where a neural network of 16,000 computers presented with stills from 10 million YouTube videos taught itself to recognize cats.

Another national website is out with its MAC preview as CBSports.com has picked the Huskies to finish either third or fourth in the MAC West. The site also put offensive lineman Jason Onyebuagu and kicker Mike Salerno on its preseason All-MAC team as David Bryant continues to be overlooked by the so-called "experts."
On that same page, fans will find a link to CBSports.com's All-Decade team for the Mid-American Conference, led by none other than Garrett Wolfe (2004-06), who was chosen as the MAC's Offensive Player of the Decade. The Huskies also placed running back Michael Turner (2000-03), offensive tackle Doug Free (2003-06) and two-time MAC Vern Smith Leadership Award winner Larry English (2005-08) on the team. Wolfe, currently with the Chicago Bears, earned first team All-MAC honors three times and averaged 160.50 yards per game with 5,186 yards and 84 touchdowns.
The story on the MAC All-Decade team also includes a quote from former Huskie head coach Joe Novak, who said "I don't think I was ever around a more natural football player in my life than Garrett."

Huskie coaches and players were feeling the effects of nine straight days on the practice field as they took to Brigham Field Friday morning for the first of two sessions on the day. The workout focused on individual and position drills with no 11-on-11 work at all during the 1:45 minute practice as Northern Illinois geared up for Saturday morning's full pad scrimmage, which will include officials.
Head Coach Jerry Kill said that Friday afternoon's practice will focus on getting the younger players more work as the coaching staff continues to figure out which members of that group will be able to contribute in 2009.
"It's a process," said Kill. "We have to see who is making plays, who is getting better and who hits the wall. We know that [the young players] are real strong, but mentally are they strong enough. Next week will help tell us who starts to fade and who we can count on."
Asked which players had surprised him with their play this camp, Kill singled out offensive lineman Ed Jackson, a redshirt junior from Belleville, Ill. who was moved to the offensive side of the ball in the spring.
"Ed Jackson's play has been really surprising," Kill said. "He's done a good job on the offensive line. I've been on him pretty hard since the spring but he has really shown us something so far this camp."
And Kill must have had offense on his mind, because he also mentioned freshmen offensive linemen Jared Volk and Matt Krempel, redshirt frosh Logan Pegram and tight ends Bryan Beckner and Jack Marks on his "pleasant surprises" list.
Check niuhuskies.com later today for a full report on Friday's practice as well as a look at the 2009 running backs.

...to "former" Northern Illinois men's golf coach John Cleary, who has left DeKalb to take a position with the Texas Tech golf program in Lubbock, Texas. Cleary, who spent seven seasons as the Huskies' men's coach and this year helped lead his team to its best finish at the Mid-American Conference Tournament since the school rejoined the league in 1998, spent his last day at NIU on Wednesday. The search for a new coach is well underway and could be wrapped up very quickly.

Three Huskies found a way to beat the heat after Wednesday's second practice.
By Joe Summins | Posted at 2:12 pm on Wednesday, August 12, 2009
The NIU football team held its first of four two-a-day practices Wednesday morning. The day after practicing in full pads for the first time this camp, the Huskies, who were in shells (helmets and shoulder pads only), worked out for just under two hours at Huskie Stadium. NIU head coach Jerry Kill was pleased with the work turned in by his young team.
The Huskies spent much of the morning working on special teams and individual work. As always, one of the highlights from practice was the 7-on-7 drill. It always fun watching the wide receivers and defensive backs go at it. Both sides held their own pretty well. The offense picked up the pace a little bit towards the end of practice by working on their two-minute drills for a few periods.
The Huskies will be back out on the field at 4:20 p.m.this afternoon. Look for a preview of the tight ends later today in our on-going series of position-by-poisition previews of the 2009 NIU football team.

The disapointing and sad news that NIU nose guard Mike Krause will be out this season with a heart ailment presents opportunities for younger players to step up on the defensive line. John Sahly of the Daily Chronicle wrote about who could try and fill that spot.
MAN BEHIND THE MASK: Larry English
By Russell Houghtaling | Posted at 9:08 am on Wednesday, August 12, 2009
Chargers.com put out a cool Q&A with former Huskie defensive end Larry English (have you heard of him?). You can read the story here. Here's an excerpt:
How has the transition been from college football to the NFL?
"It's going good so far. At the beginning it was a little different, just because the position is a little different from what I did in college, but I've been transitioning smoothly."

The 2009 preseason has officially begun for the NIU volleyball team as the Huskies held their first practice of the year yesterday evening at Victor E. Court. The Huskies will have nearly three weeks to prepare for their first match of the season which happens to be at home in the annual NIU Invitational on Friday, August 28th, when NIU will face intrastate rivals Western Illinois and Southern Illinois at 12 p.m. CT and 7 p.m., respectively.

Fred Mitchell of the Chicago Tribune gave some love to the Huskie wide receiving crew in this article in today's edition. I'm not coach, but these kids at wideout looked pretty good when I was out at practice yesterday. Personally, the more I watch this team, the more excited I am for the season. I'm at about a 13 on a scale of 1-to-10 right now.

The Huskie offensive line is really coming along early in Northern Illinois football camp. Check out this story and the video below for an update.
By Joe Summins | Posted at 12:02 pm on Monday, August 10, 2009
Channing Tatum, one of the stars of the recently released movie G.I Joe, The Rise of Cobra, was on the cover of the August issue of GQ Magazine. He bears a striking resemblance to the Huskies' defensive end Jake Coffman. However, that's where the similarities end. While Tatum plays a hero of an elite fighting force on the silver screen, Coffman was one in real life. Coffman, who celebrated his 25th birthday yesterday, enlisted in the Marine Corps right out of high school and served two tours in the Middle East.

If you're a fan of NC Eastern style barbecue, a visit to Hursey's is a must even if it's out of your way. I've eaten barbecue all over this state, and Hursey's is definitely one of the best in NC. The barbecue is always moist and cooked with just the right amount of flavor. While a lot of people eat it plain, I like the sauce that's available on the table. The hush puppies are awesome, too. Don't miss this place next time you're traveling through Alamance Co.

There's lots to see at Sideshow's Comic-Con booth, particularly if you're a fan of Boba Fett and Darth Malgus. The Mythos collection is stunning in person, and speaking of stunning in person, Premium Format Shaak-Ti is sexy and she knows it.
While minibusts and statues remain the core of Gentle Giant's offerings, their Jumbo Kenner Vintage Figure assortment grows in popularity as well as selection and a new entry in their statue collection based on a certain tattooed Sith Lord's appearance in the Clone Wars series is the star of the show.
Hasbro didn't reveal much during Preview Night that we already haven't covered at Toy Fair, but there are a couple of new Movie Heroes figures, one being a refangled VOTC Boba Fett. There are lots and lots of Fighter Pods and their HasbroToyShop exclusives were so HUGE this year that people brought handcarts to haul that SHIELD Helicarrier, which along with the Carbonite Chamber set, probably won't last through Sunday if past big sized exclusives like the Death Star and Galactus are any indication.
Our cartel connections payed off and we were able to take some early photos from the floor of the Hasbro, Sideshow, and Diamond Select booths.
There's this small gathering in a quaint, classy, Southern Californian village where people garbed in the latest cutting trend crime fighting, galaxy destroying fashion statements congregate to celebrate all things plastic, pulp, and pop. Galactic Hunter is here to cover the show beginning this evening (or earlier if our ninja skills and cartel connections pull through) and bring you all the latest and greatest from Hasbro, Gentle Giant, Kotobukiya, Sideshow and more! It's Comic-Con time! We're here hydrated and deodorized and hopefully you are too...especially deodorized.
It's that time again! LEGO is getting ready for Comic-Con, and they sent along some announcements of what they'll be bringing along... like a Rancor Pit. The full press release is after the jump.
Hasbro released their Comic-Con plans today with some information on what's in store in terms of panels, giveaways, and autograph sessions.
Super7 announces three new Star Wars inspired t-shirts that will make their debut at San Diego Comic-Con this week. The ingeniously designed shirts feature a retro Atari Asteroids arcade game, Wookiee Sighting based on the famous Patterson Bigfoot photo, and an MC Escher inspired Death Star Relativity.
The Comic-Con Exclusive Bith Band with Tech M'or and Doikk Na'ts are now up for order!
Sideshow is now taking orders for the SDCC Exclusive Clone Commander Fox. This fully articulated body comes with 13 interchangeable hands and a detailed fabric body suit.
It's that time again! Hasbro sent along its press release for all the new exclusives, including Star Wars, Jem, My Little Pony. Of note, the prices are not little, and the toys are pretty huge! Read on for the release and some photos.

Miami Dolphins: How special teams usage affects Mike Nolan's defense
Coordinator Thursday is here at the Miami Dolphins facility, which means we get to ask about 10-12 questions of defensive coordinator Mike Nolan in an eight-minute span (short, careful answers) while offensive guru Dan Henning fields perhaps 3-4 (long, meandering, filibusterish answers) in maybe 12-14 minutes.
It's supposed to be 10 and 10, but who's counting?
Some highlights (with video below):
I asked Nolan about the challenges posed to his defense when key starters such as Yeremiah Bell (at least two kickoff coverage reps on Sunday), Vontae Davis (the same) and Koa Misi are asked to run downfield a few times in order to prop up the Dolphins' special teams.
"Probably the most difficult thing for a player when he has to do special teams, a defensive player in particular, if he's on a coverage unit, punt or kickoff, both of those plays are long sprints and the very next play he has to stay on the field," Nolan said. "That's what makes it most difficult. If it's a kickoff return, punt return, PAT, field goal, those are really no problem at all. The guys go out there, they do their thing. Because they come off for a down.
"But it's those coverage units on a defensive guy that usually exhaust them a little more. So when they're on those, you're a little concerned sometimes."
And the adjustments that follow those concerns?
"I'll say this: If there's no TV timeout after the coverage, sometimes I will play something a little different than I would otherwise," Nolan said. "If I had a sense they just ran 60-70 yards, full sprint, and the clock is going and there's no TV timeout, sometimes I'll call something a little different than I would have. "
It should be noted that Misi's apparent coverage mistake on the Steelers' game-winning drive — that 29-yard dump pass to Mewelde Moore on third-and-5 from the Dolphins' 43 — came three plays after Misi was asked to run downfield on kickoff coverage. Even for an eager young rookie, that can be a tough turnaround.

Better Printing with Gutenprint 5.2.1
The Gutenprint project develops filters for the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) to operate with a range of commercial printers. Gutenprint 5.2.1 is now available with numerous changes and improvements.
As can be seen in the release notes, Gutenprint 5.2.1 supports hundreds of new printers, including a huge list of b&w laser printers and tons of Epson inkjet printers (many in the Stylus series), alongside improved support of the PIXMA models from Canon. (Meanwhile, Canon itself is also supplying drivers for Linux.)
The current release requires GIMP 2.0 (2.2 recommended) for the Print plugin, and dropped support for Mac OS X 10.2 in favor of 10.3. Users who created profiles in Gutenprint 5.1 should recreate them in 5.2. Under the covers, the generic PostScript driver was brought closer to functionality of the native printer drivers, with all PPD file options now supported and the CMYK input handled correctly. Moreover, the PostScript driver now recognizes Gutenprint PPD files.
Not least of all Gutenprint 5.2 offers additional printer driver options. Quality presets were added to PCL laser printer drivers along with extended page formats. Individual resets can be made without affecting global settings. Gutenprint developers also improved PPD data localization.

Oooooo… Kate Beckinsale is back to reprise her role as Selene in the fourth installment in the horror/action hybrid 'Underworld' series, 'Underworld: New Dawn'. Now, at the age of 37 and after skipping out on the third movie, 'Underworld: Rise of the Lycans' (which was a hot mess), Kate is as stunning as ever in skin-tight latex body suit and a grey pea coat. The photo above (the first with Kate as Selene) was take in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada where the movie is shooting. You all know how much iGT adores Kate Beckinsale, so its a "no brainer" than we would feature any picture of Kate in some latex. For curious Underworld fans, below is the plot for New Dawn:
After being held in a coma-like state for fifteen years, vampire Selene (Kate Beckinsale) learns that she has a fourteen-year-old vampire/Lycan hybrid daughter, Nissa, and when she finds her they must stop BioCom from creating super Lycans that will kill them all.
BioCom sounds a lot like "The Umbrella Corporation". Go figure. There no word on the return of Scott Speedman as Michael, but Michael Sheen (Lucian) and Bill Nighy (Viktor) is set to return and actor Michael Ealy (For Colored Girls, FlashForward) will be playing the lead male role as an FBI agent that is hunting Selene, who later becomes her ally. The team behind, 'Shelter', Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein are directing.
'Underworld: New Dawn' opens on January 20th, 2012

Kate Walsh Tells Hollywood Actresses: "Stop F**king Up Your Faces"
Kate Walsh called out some of her showbiz peers while watching the Academy Awards on Sunday.
The "Private Practice" actress, who just posed nude at 44 on the cover of Shape, did not hold back on Twitter after seeing what some other stars have had done in terms of cosmetic surgery.
"Dear Hollywood actresses, stop f**king up your faces, it's looking [like] the bar scene in Star Wars," tweeted Walsh.
For comparison's sake, Gossip Cop is posting the famous, creature-laden "bar scene" from Star Wars below.
Does Walsh have a point?

One of the world's largest supervolcanoes, massive volcanoes that could erupt and alter life on Earth as it is currently known, exists under the plains, forests, and mountains of the western United States. It is the Yellowstone Supervolcano, so called because of the famous national park that rides the surface above it, and it houses deep magma pockets that have the potential to spew out rock, lava, and ash that could end civilization on the planet. And if that weren't enough to frighten any sane person, scientists have no way of knowing when the supervolcano -- or any of its less than ten brethren worldwide -- will erupt. They just know that it will...
Scientists from ETH Zurich in Switzerland announced this weekend, AFP reported (via Yahoo News) Jan. 5, that eruptions from supervolcanoes, which were thought to be triggered primarily by external factors (like earthquakes), were also subject to being triggered by the density of the molten magma. In short, by using x-rays to study the density of magma below supervolcanoes, researchers found that eruptions could be triggered spontaneously by internal pressure.
A separate team of British, Swiss, and French scientists built a computer model analyzing volcanic activity, basing the model on historic volcanic evidence and the presence of the mineral zircon.
According to AFP, researchers are hoping that the two studies will help provide indicators that can be used to predict supervolcano eruptions.
One such potential event could occur in the northwestern United States in an area called the Yellowstone Caldera, a supervolcano that encompasses 55 miles by 20 miles (90 by 30 kilometers) of subterranean territory. It is six miles (10 kilometers) deep. That measurement is two-and-a-half times larger than was once thought. New data allowed researchers to redefine the Yellowstone Supervolcano, and they now believe the magma chamber is as large as it was the last time it erupted, some 640,000 years ago.
That event deposited -- and the next has the potential to deposit -- at least 240 cubic miles (1000 cubic kilometers) of rock and ash across Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. Such a tremendous amount of displaced material would cause global climate changes, cooling the planet as much as a 18 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius) for as long as a decade.
Such a cooling of the world's temperatures would drastically disrupt growing seasons and food supplies, setting off a chain of events that ultimately lead to various doomsday scenarios.
So what can be done to stop or at least alleviate the severity of a supervolcano eruption, like the one percolating under Yellowstone National Park? Unfortunately, the options range from not much to nothing at all. And given that a supervolcano eruption might lead to an apocalyptic event, one might then wonder if constructing an effective early warning system would constitute an unnecessary cruelty.

CINCINNATI — OSHA recently revised its Hazard Communication standard to adopt the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). To help organizations navigate HazCom requirements, Cintas Corp. says it has debunked six popular HazCom/GHS myths:
1. Only people using chemicals need to undergo training.
Training is required for any employee who will be exposed or potentially exposed to chemicals under normal workplace conditions. People who are only "occasionally" in the vicinity of chemicals are exempt from the rule. If it's unclear whether employees need to be educated about hazardous chemicals, organizations should conduct training to be safe.
2. Temporary workers don't need to be trained.
OSHA is making a big push to ensure organizations train temporary employees properly. Oftentimes employers solely focus on educating full-time employees or assume that temp agencies have trained outside contractors. However, there are certain details that temp agencies can't prepare these workers for, such as the location of Safety Data Sheets (SDS).
3. HazCom violations won't break the bank.
OSHA bases violations on the seriousness of the offense, ranging from "general" to "serious/willful." The average fee per violation will likely be $900-$1,100, although OSHA is considering increasing fees to encourage better compliance. If a chemical-related injury or death occurs, an organization will face severe fines and brand perception issues if employees were not properly trained, Cintas says.
4. HazCom violations occur infrequently.
HazCom violations are actually frequently included in OSHA's top 10 violations each year. Preliminary estimates for 2013 ranked HazCom violations second with 6,156 incidents and once all data is collected, this number is expected to rise due to noncompliance with GHS guidelines.
5. Current chemicals must be disposed of because they lack the proper labels.
The deadline for applying new chemical labels will not arrive until June 2015. This gives organizations time to use up current chemicals and reorder new inventory. These new shipments will arrive in containers with the revised labels. Employers should wait for the chemical manufacturer or distributor to provide the new labels.
6. All HazCom/GHS training is the same.
Not all training is created equal; employers must ensure they provide effective education. It's best to offer a blended approach that relies on DVD, online and instructor-led courses in multiple languages, Cintas says.

Cricket will launch the Samsung Vitality with Muve Music
Cricket is set to announce and release a new Android-powered handset pretty soon. The Samsung Vitality, for that's the phone we're talking about, will come with support for Cricket's Muve Music unlimited music service. Up until now, the only phone to give you unlimited access to millions of tracks is the Samsung Suede, which is a featurephone. So this is good news for music lovers who like smartphones and have Cricket as their carrier of choice (or are looking to switch).
Aside from the music service though, the Vitality will be almost identical to the Samsung Admire recently launched by MetroPCS. The Samsung Vitality will have a 3.5-inch HVGA (320×480) touchscreen, an 800 MHz processor, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. The Samsung Vitality will apparently run stock Android 2.3 Gingerbread, so no UI overlays or 'enhancements' to be seen anywhere.
Unfortunately at this point details about this phone's pricing or a clear release date aren't available. However, we'll let you know as soon as we find out anything new. What we do know is that the price plan which will accompany the Vitality is rumored to cost $65 per month. For that amount of cash, you'll receive unlimited song downloads, ringtones, and ringback tones alongside what we're guessing will be an unlimited communications plan.

Library Assistant
My work in the Libraries is centered around reference and instruction. I have worked in the Science & Engineering Library (Walter Library) since 2007 and worked with the HathiTrust User Support group since 2011. I have developed websites, I am an expert Google Apps user, and I use social media as additional ways to reach our users. I teach Introduction to Library Research, a workshop offered to first-year writing students that is designed to introduce the library system, guide topic selection, and develop effective search strategies. I assist our HathiTrust partnership by fielding questions about HathiTrust and its content. We refer issues such as scan quality and copyright on a daily basis. HathiTrust is having a major impact on access to historical and primary source documents, as many are being identified as being in the public domain and becoming widely available for the first time. Questions about HathiTrust can be directed to: firstname.lastname@example.com. Aside from my role in Walter Library, I am also the front-line contact for UThink Blog Support. UThink is planned to retire after ten great years of being the campus solution for blogging, and I help campus partners migrate to new platforms on a daily basis.

After receiving many requests and suggestions to do so, I have finally gotten around to creating a newsletter for Chocolate & Zucchini! Sign up to receive an update twice a month, with news, announcements and a digest of recent entries. (And since I have just set this up, please let me know if you experience any problem at all.)
I am also proud to announce the publication of my very first newspaper article, in the travel section of the Los Angeles Times, which talks about the Wine & Fooding Tour, a Parisian event : read it online (free registration required), and check out the paper edition of the LA Times this Sunday the 22nd! [Correction : it was in fact published on Sunday the 15th!]
Finally, I was recently interviewed by an American journalist named Joe Ray. He went on to write a story about Chocolate & Zucchini for the AFP, the most important news agency in France, who sells content to numerous papers all over the world : go ahead and read that too!
As a side note, I feel I must add that the book Joe Ray mentions is still in a much much earlier stage than could be inferred from the article. It is in the works, I am in touch with people who are interested, but there is still much thinking and even more writing to be done!

Suppose $Y_1, Y_2$ are from a random sample of the uniform distribution on $[0, 1]$. How do I compute the variance of the geometric mean of two points in the interval $[0, 1]$?
I know the geometric mean is $X=(Y_1 Y_2)^{1/2}$. I can't compute the variance since I'm not sure how to find the expected value of a radical.

Sky-gazers will be in for an extra special treat this week with the peak of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower. The actual peak of the annual meteor shower extends over three days, but best viewing conditions are scheduled for the early morning hours just before dawn on Tuesday.
The Eta Aquarids are one of two meteor showers that occurs from the debris trail of Halley's Comet. The other is the Orionid meteor shower that will occur in October. Most of the meteors are microscopic in size, and move at blistering speeds of over 148,000 mph.
The Aquarids can be viewed in the south-southeastern portion of the sky originating from a radiant in the constellation Aquarius. The shower typically produces displays with 10-20 meteors an hour at the peak and will last into early Wednesday morning, but with less meteors visible. Some years, the Aquarids can produce up to 60 meteors per hour mainly south of the Equator.
Folks out looking for some shooting stars are advised to avoid light pollution from towns and cities in order to have an ideal dark sky for viewing. The moon will be in the waxing crescent phase and shouldn't provide too much of an obstruction with moon-set occurring prior to the peak.
Weather conditions are also a factor and can often bring disappointment to many if clouds are in the way. The current forecast calls for skies from the Southeast to the central and southern Plains and northern Mexico to be free of clouds during the peak of the meteor shower early in the morning Tuesday. A storm system will produce plenty of clouds and some showers from the Great Basin to the northern Plains, providing less than ideal conditions in those regions. Some of the best sky conditions in the United States will be across the Deep South from New Mexico eastward to the Carolinas.
Check your local weather forecast here.
So go on out and make a wish on a shooting star tonight.

So Close Yet So Far Away
Monday, June 24, 2013
I have had quite a productive morning. I got up at 5:00 even though I don't have class this week. I don't want to get out of the habit. I went to the gym and hit the Big Bad Treadmill. I warmed up at 3.0 mph and then did my intervals, high at 4.0 mph and low at 3.0 mph for the 1st 6 minutes. The last 6 minutes I did my high intervals at 4.1 and low at 3.1. THEN the 2nd to last high interval I ran at 4.3 and the last high interval I ran at 4.4! That's a grand total of 40 seconds of running! I know it doesn't seem like much, but 5 weeks ago I couldn't run for 10 seconds!
After my workout I spent a little quality time in the restroom, I'll spare you the details, but let's say my lower digestive system isn't cooperating with me today. Since I don't have class I decided to do a couple of weights. I would have stayed and done more if I had felt better. But I did do 3 sets of bicep curls and 3 sets of tricep extensions.
Then it was off to the grocery store. I am going to a Recipe Night hosted by my chiropractor. I am making "fried" quinoa. It's like fried rice, but much healthier. I needed some bean sprouts for it and NO ONE HAS ANY! I had to settle for alfalfa sprouts. If you came to my house right now you would see an abundance of fruit. I am on some sort of a fruit kick. I have bananas, oranges, kiwi, watermelon, and black seedless grapes.
Well, the votes for the Recipe Night are in. The good news is I tied for 1st place! The bad news is a 2 year old picked a hand for the tie breaker and I didn't win. The prize of a $50 gift card to Whole Foods went to the other lady. If I had only voted for myself, but I didn't. Everyone raved about the "fried" quinoa though. The kids there liked it too.
There wasn't much there I did like, I am a really picky eater, so I was hungry after. Instead of just coming home and finding something, I decided to stop at Chick-Fil-A. I got a chicken sandwich with extra pickles and in unsweetened tea. I SHOULD have gotten the charbroiled chicken sandwich...actually, I should have just come on home. On a good note, I had a really healthy sandwich for lunch. I think I'll post the recipe for it tomorrow. Click on the links above for the "fried" quinoa recipe.
I don't like getting home late. I still need to make my shake and take and set out my vitamins for in the morning. I am ready to sleep!

Starkville, Miss. – Mississippi State baseball was ranked No. 4 in the 2014 USA Today Coaches' Preseason Top-25, released Monday by the publication. Four of the 31 Division I coaches participating in the poll voted the Maroon and White first overall, joining No. 1 Cal State Fullerton and No. 2 LSU as the only schools to receive first-place votes.
Oregon State, who MSU eliminated with two wins in the 2013 College World Series, came in at No. 3, with the rest of the top 10 being rounded out by Florida State, Virginia, Oregon, Vanderbilt, North Carolina State and UCLA.
The poll comes two days after head coach John Cohen's program was placed in the top-10 in Baseball America and Perfect Game's preseason polls. Perfect Game had the Diamond Dawgs sixth, while Baseball America had the Maroon and White eighth. In late December, Collegiate Baseball listed MSU second in its preseason rankings.
This Monday, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association will release its first Top-25 of the season, marking the last national preseason poll.
State's 2014 lid-lifter is Friday, Feb. 14, 2014, as the Bulldogs begin their 124th season with a 4 p.m. Opening Day contest against Hofstra. For more information on the program, follow the team on social media by searching for "HailStateBB" on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The Mount Sinabung Volcano eruption has left two dead and thousands under evacuations as Sinabung emerged from volcanic inactivity this weekend to send smoke miles into the air.
The last time Mount Sinabung exemplified any volcanic activity was nearly 400 years ago in 1600. Now dust is blanketing the region as the Directorate of Vulcanology has increased volcanic danger alert warning systems to their highest levels. On Sunday, Muhammad Irsal with the Red Cross confirmed to local news that two persons have died from the volcanic eruption. Their causes of death are respiratory problems.
Red Cross officials now put evacuation numbers at 18,000. As reported previously on LALATE, evacuation centers have been set up in government buildings and places of worship. Now Tarigan, an disaster relief official, confirms that evacuation numbers could still grow by Sunday evening.
Irsal tells news "At midnight, there was a strong shock – believed to be a volcanic earthquake. Immediately after, we saw lava come down from the peak of Sinabung, and fire began to burn the forest at the foot of the mountain." Surono, head of the region's nation volcano disaster alert system, updated news today that "Previously, there was no significant activity at the Mount Sinabung volcano, so the monitoring did not take priority since the 1600s…We're recommending that the residents remain at the evacuation centres until further notice"
A local person tells news that smoke density has decreased but the remains of sulfur in the air has increased. There are said to be dozens, if not hundreds, of Indonesian Red Cross volunteers aiding local evacuation efforts.

Argentina were pushed all the way before finally being able to savour victory in their opening FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Rio de Janeiro 2005 match. Up against an Australian side that belied their inexperience in the discipline, the Albiceleste booked themselves a ticket for the last eight, but will have to raise their game if they hope to progress any further.
Australia's coach Adrian Santrac could barely hide his joy after the encounter. "My boys were really quick to learn their lessons from the France match," he said. "Our biggest problem tonight was getting into the flow of the game. Argentina played in sudden bursts and my players aren't used to that kind of situation yet. On the whole, though, I'm very happy with our performance."
The Argentinian side made their entrance onto the pitch holding a large banner that read 'Vamos Ile, Ganamos junto' ('Come on Ile, let's win together'). Ile Acosta, sister of the Argentine striker, was recently paralysed in an accident.
Before the match kicked off, the expectation was that the South American side would outclass a team still developing in the discipline. That proved to be a little unfair on Australia, however, and from the early stages they showed themselves to be fast learners. Always in good positions, they prevented Argentina from causing new father Andrew Crews too many problems between the posts.
It took the Albiceleste until the end of the first period to finally make their superiority count, and the honour of opening the scoring fell to Federico Hilaire (1-0). Acosta then doubled their advantage after the beak when he met Andrade's cross with an exquisite header (2-0), but Australia refused to let their heads drop and set about implementing their experienced coach's instructions.
Their efforts were eventually rewarded in the third and last period, as Buonavoglia rounded off a clever move from a corner to pull his side right back into contention (2-1). And it took a shot that deflected wickedly off the sand from F. Hilaire to give the score-line a more convincing sheen (3-1). The result will matter most to the Argentinians, of course, but their lacklustre display will have certainly raised concerns.
"Like with the first match of any tournament, we had to cope with the stress and I think we did that well," insisted their coach Carlos Eduardo Juárez, without any great enthusiasm.
Referees: Alberto Magno (BRA), Evaldo Wellington (BRA), Mohamed Saeed (UAE)

Yesterday, I recorded another interview with Dr. Dave Janda. In it we discuss the important difference between a Constitutional Republic and a pure Democracy, the Pentagon's "revolving door" policy and why the U.S. economy may come to a standstill come January 2013. Enjoy!

None of us are perfect, we make mistakes, we sin, and so on. But these people keep doing their dirt openly and don't seem to even want to change. It's like that Madeleine Albright and her infamous statement that it was "worth it" when asked about the 500K deaths of children in iraq.
It's machiavellian. I would like these people to tell me how many children can die before they stop bombing and other things they do? (and really not just for children…it is wrong to kill people PERIOD). One child dead is one child too many…yet these psychopaths are ok with what they call "collateral damage" (an insult to humanity).
