SEATTLE -- Chris Wells ran for 135 yards and a touchdown and No. 10 Ohio State scored 24 consecutive points in the second half to beat Washington 33-14 on Saturday.
Linebacker James Laurinaitis intercepted Washington's Jake Locker twice deep in Buckeyes territory. Last season's Nagurski Award winner as the nation's best defensive player also had a key sack of the Huskies' redshirt freshman star during the decisive sequence of the third quarter.
Ohio State (3-0) tied their school record for consecutive wins in the regular season with 21, matching a mark set from 1967-69.
As Ohio State's Brandon Saine ran 37 yards for a touchdown on the game's final play, Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel was getting a bucket of ice water dumped on his head to celebrate his 200th career victory.
Todd Boeckman, making his first career road start, threw for two touchdowns as the Buckeyes won for the 22nd time in 23 games overall -- the only loss coming when Florida ran over them in last January's national championship game.
Washington (2-1) was inside Ohio State territory six times against the nation's top-ranked defense. The Huskies got 102 yards rushing and 153 yards passing from Locker.
But key mistakes -- including Locker's three interceptions -- doomed them in their sixth consecutive loss to a Top 10 opponent.
Washington was poised to increase its 7-3 lead on the opening drive of the second half, moving to OSU's 19 on a personal-foul penalty. But three consecutive plays lost yardage -- the last a sack by Laurinaitis at the 29.
Kurt Coleman then blocked a 46-yard field goal attempt by Ryan Perkins. Tressel, usually stoic, almost jumped out of his sweater vest on the sidelines while leaping up and down, trying to jump-start his team.
It worked.
Two plays later, Boeckman found Brian Robiskie running past freshman cornerback Vonzell McDowell on a fly pattern. Robiskie caught the perfect throw in stride at the 40 and cruised in for a 68-yard touchdown and a 10-7 lead for the Buckeyes 5 1/2 minutes into the third quarter. Tressel ran down the sidelines behind Robiskie with both arms raised triumphantly.
Boeckman was 14-for-25 for 218 yards passing.
On the ensuing kickoff, Devon Torrence caused Curtis Shaw, another Huskies freshman, to fumble. James Scott recovered at the Washington 25.
Wells ran for 11 yards, then romped through an arm tackle try by McDowell for a 14-yard touchdown run. In just 39 seconds, Ohio State had seized a 17-7 lead with nine minutes left in the third quarter.
But Locker kept running. His 16-yard run, on his 14th carry, put him over 100 yards and got Washington to the Buckeyes 28 late in the period. But on third-and-5, Laurinaitis dropped away from the line to intercept Locker's pass.
Ohio State turned that into a 20-7 lead on a 23-yard field goal by Ryan Pretorius. Boeckman added a 36-yard touchdown pass to Brian Hartline with 3:30 left.
Washington took a 7-3 on the penultimate play of the first half when Anthony Russo made a twisting catch at the goal line of a 23-yard pass. The 74,927 in Husky Stadium -- the third-largest crowd in the 87-year-old stadium's history -- rocked as it hadn't in four years.
It was the first touchdown the Buckeyes' defense had allowed this season, after 149 minutes of game time.
Ohio State was on Washington's turf three times in the opening half, yet got only a 28-yard field goal by Pretorius early in the second quarter.
Washington then drove to Ohio State's 5, but on third-and-goal Laurinaitis reached back with his left hand and deflected a shovel pass to himself. The interception at the 13 kept Ohio State ahead 3-0 lead midway through the second quarter.

As expected, the Cincinnati Bearcats got their first real test of the season Friday night when they faced the Iowa State Cyclones. Despite a slow first half, UC once again followed the lead of junior guard Sean Kilpatrick as they held off the Cyclones to win, 78-70.
Kilpatrick scored a career-high in points for the second time in three games, putting up 32 points with the help of 16-for-16 shooting from the free throw line. Cashmere Wright added 14, including two key free throws with 31.4 seconds remaining to seal the win.
[Box Score: No. 22 Cincinnati 78, Iowa State 70]
No. 22 UC (5-0) will play the winner of the second Global Sports Classic Semifinal between No. 19 UNLV and Oregon.
After winning their first four games by an average margin of 34.5 points per game, the Bearcats had their hands full with a talented Iowa State (4-1) team that stole the momentum in the first half, dictated the pace at times to keep things close and pulled within 4 points with 46 seconds left. The Cyclones were led by Tyrus McGee, who scored 22 points.
With the scored tied, 35-35, at halftime, UC cranked up its running game early in the second half and outscored, Iowa State, 23-7, in the first eight minutes to take a 58-42 lead. While the offense hit its stride, the UC defense turned up the heat on the Cyclones who missed eight of their first nine shots while UC was pulling away.
The Cyclones mounted a strong comeback, however, and the Bearcats' lead shrunk to 4 with 46 left. UC was resilient, however, riding key jump shots from Titus Rubles and free throws from Kilpatrick to finish with an 8 point win.
The Bearcats' hot start to the season had been marred by horrendous free throw shooting, even by "shooters" like Kilpatrick and Wright. Head Coach Mick Cronin said there was an urgency for his team to show improvement at the free throw line, where they came into the game shooting 53.2 percent.
Something clicked, as Kilpatrick, who entered just 5 of 13 from the stripe, was a perfect 16 of 16 Friday. As a team, the Bearcats shot 92 percent (23-of-25) from the line against the Cyclones.

Menu items are all invisible
From the excellant advice around managed to get gf running on windows 7 64 bit with an nvidia card and thought the troubles were behind me.
But, when I press f1, the game pauses, I get the little grim fandango logo but nothing else. I can scroll through menu options and select things, I have even managed to see some sliders. But without text what any of this does is confusing. And I can't save my game :(
any suggestions?

Teen Driver Suggests Potholes Caused Crash That Killed 4-Year-Old Girl
Not his car chase with police.
Franklin Reyes, 17, was charged with second-degree manslaughter in June after the SUV he was driving jumped a curb on the Upper West Side, killing 4-year-old Ariel Russo and injuring her grandmother, Katia Gutierrez. In court on Wednesday the teen's lawyer, Martin Schmukler, suggested that potholes were to blame – not the fact that Reyes didn't have a license, took his mother's car, and got into a high-speed chase with police. Schmukler said, "you can see a whole series of holes" at the accident site, and asked to delay the trial until he can obtain a report on the city's pothole repairs. "If the vehicle hit a pothole that would explain how it went out of control," he explained. "He hit them because he was fleeing police," Ariel's mother, Sofia Russo, said while leaving court. "He seems like the type of person to put the blame everywhere else."

Gerry Mulligan & Paul Desmond: Battle Hymn of the Republican
Battle Hymn of the Republican
Gerry Mulligan (baritone sax) and Paul Desmond (alto sax)
Gerry Mulligan / Paul Desmond Quartet (Verve 519850)
Gerry Mulligan (baritone sax), Paul Desmond (alto sax), Joe Benjamin (bass), Dave Bailey (drums).
Composed by Paul Desmond.
Recorded: New York, August 27, 1957
Rating: 96/100 (learn more)
Who else but frustrated Democrat Paul Desmond could come up with a title as witty as this? Besides being Dave Brubeck's longtime sideman, the altoist who strove to sound "like a dry martini" was known for such quips as: "I have won several prizes as the world's slowest alto player, as well as a special award in 1961 for quietness." This collaboration with Gerry Mulligan had long been desired by both men, and the result was well worth the wait. The track is really just straight improvisation on "Tea for Two" changes, but the co-leaders' remarkable rapport elevates it to a higher level. Desmond takes the lead initially with Mulligan providing inventive counterpoint, which then evolves into short, cogent exchanges before Mulligan solos, Benjamin's throbbing bass egging him on. Mulligan primarily takes mini-motifs and expands them with subtle alterations. Desmond solos next with a more biting attack than usual – definitely neither dry, slow nor quiet – his lyrical development containing more extended and intricate lines than Mulligan's. Near the end of Desmond's solo, Mulligan complements Benjamin's basslines with additional effective counterpoint. After Benjamin's deft solo, the two horns engage in an absorbing dual improvisation, their creative phrases intertwining in delightful harmony.
Apparently we owe it to sand that Desmond, the English major, became a musician instead of a writer. As he explained it, "I could only write at the beach, and I kept getting sand in my typewriter." Literature's loss was jazz's gain.

MAV Response to the Draft 11-12 Australian Curriculum - Mathematics
The Mathematical Association of Victoria has developed a formal response to the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority through a series of consultation mechanisms, namely; two formal meetings of the MAV Council, a special members consultation forum held on Friday, 9 July 2010 attended by twenty five senior experienced mathematics teachers from across Victoria and an interactive consultation portal on the MAV web site advertised to 11,500 subscribers to the Association's e-mail newsletter on four occasions. The responses from all of these sources have been collated by a leadership group appointed by the MAV Council. This group was made up by Councillors Allason McNamara and David Tout and two Heads of Mathematics, Robyn Crockett and Phillip Swedosh.
This submission was sent to ACARA on Friday, 30 July 2010. You can read what the MAV wrote here:
My thanks to the many members who contributed to this submission.

Comments on ACARA's draft document for Mathematics in senior years
General comments
• There is nothing about assessment in the draft, nor whether assessment at Year 12 will be based on the two years (4 units) of each subject. At Year 12, assessment is a key part of the mix, without which, the document is incomplete.
• Assumptions about Year 10 background are not at all clear. While 10A is required for Specialist, Maths Methods refers to 10 / 10A which does not help to clarify what should be happening at Year 10. This uncertainty surrounding Year 10 must be addressed.
• The status of the CAS calculator is not clear. Some parts of the document refer to 'technology', some to 'graphics calculator' and some to 'CAS technology' – the reference needs to be more precise and consistent.
• The document should not make statements that ICT has been incorporated into all topic areas unless it is able to substantiate this. It would be preferable to read ICT has been incorporated into 'most' or 'many' or 'where appropriate'.
• Cross curriculum dimensions are really pathetic and can only be considered tokenistic.
• The 4 unit nature of each separate subject is welcome and should help to overcome the confusion surrounding different implementations of the current VCE General Maths subject (GMS vs GMF etc.) and this should help with textbooks too.
• How viable is it for schools to offer 4 streams of Maths at both of Year 11 & 12?
• What pathways will be accepted, what will not? For example, can a student do three Year 12 Maths subjects?
• Although the document acknowledges the 4 courses are differentiated, there is nothing to suggest there will be recognition of this hierarchy in ENTER scores between the Maths subjects (possibly provenance of VTAC and equivalent?).
Comments and observations about the 4 courses
• Essentially three of the four subjects, with a little tweaking, could be viable. The fourth, Maths Methods, is of grave concern and if not drastically curtailed, could have disastrous consequences.
Essential Maths
• Content seems reasonable in that it is not demanding, although it does contain some algebra. There is repetition of some earlier year's work and not sure if all the content is particularly meaningful or exciting even though it is accessible.
• Should some of the financial material from General Maths be attempted here because some knowledge of finance is a life skill?
• Don't know how the Investigation will work in practice but sounds ok in theory.
• Should this have the status of a Year 12 subject? – perhaps it is a VET equivalent? Will many choose to do this subject? Will all schools be able to, or be expected to, offer it?
General Maths
• Year 11 content looks ok provided support material on price index numbers provided!
• Heavily financial in Year 12 – some newer material but a reasonable course. Time series back and a lot of recurrence material which may be found difficult although students will have CAS so probably this material will be able to be covered through formulae and 'recipes'.
• Inconsistent with references to graphics, then CAS.
Specialist Maths
• The document says Specialist is designed to be taken in conjunction with Maths Methods but what does it mean by the statement "there has been consideration given to students who have studied units 1 and 2 Mathematical Methods to enter Specialist Maths at Unit 3"? Is this implying Specialist Units 1 and 2 may not be a pre-requisite?
• Options are totally ridiculous for a subject that attracts small numbers. Victoria knows this from when it tried to run 3, dropping to 2 modules, then giving up entirely and making the course fully prescribed. Do the same here – ditch statistical inference and prescribe either one of the other two options (difficult to choose between them) or preferably, prescribe a combination selected from the remaining two options. Another thought is to throw out Matrices so both of the non statistical options can be prescribed.
• I surprise myself by saying it but I have to applaud placing Graph Theory in Specialist Maths and I find ACARA's argument for its inclusion very convincing. However, I hope there will be lots of good textbooks and support for teachers, such as myself, to learn this material at the depth required. How will the Graph theory treatment compare with its treatment in General Maths? Here would be a danger of there being fairly superficial treatment of the topic if the final assessment does not examine all 4 units of the subject.
• Some introductory work on vectors and polar co-ordinates is needed in Year11.
• It seems questionable that triple angle formulae need to be learnt.
• The more formal and precise language to be used in this subject is welcome
• Careful planning of the order of the syllabus to enable links with and to build on corresponding topics in Maths methods will be required.
Maths Methods
• This is awful. Far from lifting standards and encouraging more students to do Maths, this subject seems destined to have the reverse effect of steering even good students away from it and into General Maths and deterring all but the very few of the most mathematically able students from taking on Specialist Maths in conjunction with it.
• It tries too hard to cover too broad a range of topics. The subject needs to reassess what it stands for and devise a more reasonable course to service the needs of the student cohort it claims to identify with.
• Units 1 and 2 are really heavy – impossibly so, even if students remember perfectly the 10A material. Too much of the current Year 12 Maths Methods material has been placed in Year 11. It is quite unreasonable.
• Units 3 and 4 are fragmented and not put together well. There is no flow.
• Refers to assumed knowledge from10 / 10A so is 10A assumed to have been studied? This really needs to be clarified.
• Refers repeatedly to graphic calculators, but presumably CAS calculators will be used?
• There are hardly any pre-calculus concepts introduced, more a return to an earlier way of introducing calculus. Year 12 has second derivative as covered in Specialist. Why overlap?
• There is a huge chunk on Gaussian elimination - why, when students have CAS? This makes it even more tempting to throw out Matrices from Specialist and place the transformations from Specialist here to replace Gaussian elimination - or better still forget the lot because some things must be cut back to obtain a more reasonable course.
• There is also a huge chunk of statistical inference – didn't go well last time round – Universities usually say they prefer to teach this themselves in context. Given all the statistics covered in previous years, there is sense in doing statistical inference but to fit this in so much current Year 12 material has been moved to Year 11 and something has to be deleted.
• It seems that the course is also prescribed in terms of order in which it is to be studied. Is that the case?
• Strangely, it appears to introduce surds from a very simple level.
• A number of topics that have appeared on syllabuses of various maths subjects at various times are assembled here: uniform and exponential random variables (can we expect to see Poisson and geometric before too long?), curve fitting using log-linear transformations, statistical inference… there is nothing 'wrong' with the topics, what is not right is there are too many topics trying to cover too broad a range. A depressing subject as presented.

The decision to print a controversial comic strip lampooning a recent Texas abortion law has been no laughing matter for many newspaper editors.
Garry Trudeau, creator of the popular strip "Doonesbury," offered a storyline this week revolving around a Texas law requiring physicians to provide a sonogram to a woman before performing an abortion. The law went into effect in early February.
Editors at multiple newspapers, including the Arizona Republic and the Indianapolis Star, decided not to run this week's strips in their papers, electing instead to print a substitute "Doonesbury" provided by the syndicate. Some, like the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, chose to place the comic online but not in the paper.
Not all print editions are abstaining from the controversial strip, though. Some, like The Kansas City Star relocated "Doonesbury" to the Opinion page for the week.
Other papers decided well before this latest strip to place the comic outside its funnies pages. The Tulsa World places it on the editorial page, as does the Knoxville News Sentinel, who explain that its content is often inappropriate for the comics page, but printing a potentially offensive strip like the abortion-law comic addresses "an important public policy matter on which there is sharp disagreement."
Over the weekend, the Washington Post interviewed the Pulitzer-Prize winning Trudeau, who said to ignore the ultrasound law "would have been comedy malpractice."
MSNBC commentator Rachel Maddow defended the comic, calling editors not running it "cowardly," and saying that censorship often has the effect of bringing more attention to a topic.
Is this week's "Doonesbury" too offensive? You can judge for yourself by viewing it here.

90 percent of Salinas homicides gang-related, police chief saysUPDATED 10:12 PM PST Mar 04, 2014
About 90 percent of all homicides were gang-related, a states, and Salinas has 23 active gangs.Video Transcript
DAN...ERIN... MEMBERS OF 23 DIFFERENT GANGS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR NEARLY 90 PERCENT OF HOMICIDES IN SALINAS FROM 20-10 TO 20-13.. AND SHUTTING DOWN THESE GANGS IS KEY IN REDUCING VIOLENCE. THERE ARE BETWEEN 650 AND 850 ACTIVE GANG MEMBERS IN SALINAS...AND SALINAS POLICE SAY THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE BEHIND NEARLY ALL THE SHOOTINGS AND HOMICIDES IN THE CITY. KELLY 1:47-2:06 :"unless you're participating in one of those groups, you really don't have to fear firearms violence in salinas, this is contained to less than half a percent of our population. So 99.5% in salinas don't have to worry about it." THIS DATA IS PART OF A NEW REPORT BY THE SALINAS POLICE DEPARTMENT, THAT GIVES AN ANALYSIS OF GUN VIOLENCE IN THE CITY FROM 20-10 TO 20- 13. KELLY :42-:53: "i think it's important city council and general public is aware of the king of complexion of who's driving violence and how we are driving that." CHIEF KELLY MCMILLIN SAYS THE PURPOSE OF THE REPORT IS TO SEE WHERE THE VIOLENCE IS CONCENTRATED....LOOK AT PATTERNS OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY... AND IDENTIFY WHO IN THE COMMUNITY IS AT THE HIGHEST RISK OF VIOLENCE. KELLY 1:12-1:33: "firearms violence is contained to pretty much small group of primarily young men who have extensive juvenile records, have multiple arrests for violence in past and associate with people like that. LAY BROLL These young men are ones doing the shootings and those getting shot." THE CHIEF SAYS GIVEN THESE STATISTICS, HIS DEPARTMENT NEEDS MORE RESOURCES TO COMBAT THE GANGS AND VIOLENCE. KELLY 3:49-4:02 "we're going to need to grow PD, grow violence prevention/interventio n efforts that are going on, we struggle to maintain give current fiscal environment." IN ADDITION TO HIRING MORE OFFICERS ...THE CHIEF SAYS HIS DEPARTMENT COULD BENEFIT FROM A FULL- TIME CRIME ANALYST... THAT POSITION HAS BEEN FROZEN FOR OVER A YEAR BECAUSE OF BUDGET CUTS...DAN...ERIN?### MONTEREY COUNTY SHERIFF SCOTT MILLER

Fun Fact: Did you know that 2014 is the 25th Anniversary of Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire? First, that makes me feel really old. Second, I really wish he would do an update with the last 25 years of history. (Maybe when I go see him in concert this August…)
One of the reasons I haven't been blogging here all that much is because I've been blogging for I Need a Library Job – regular blog posts are part of the requirement of being a Head Editor. Why not take a look at the site and read a few of articles I've written (along with some of the other great ones by my INALJ colleagues)?
- Don't Get Chopped in Your Job Search
- Should You Go to That (Non-Library) Conference?
- Kate Goes Conferencing, Part 2: Tips and Tricks
- New Librarianship Master Class: What IS a Librarian? What is a Library?
- All About Mentoring
- The Other Big Green Monster: Burnout
- Location, Location, Location: If I Can Make It There…?
- All About Accreditation
- The Doctor Is In….the Library!
So you can imagine that this blog takes a bit of backseat when I have a blogging requirement elsewhere.
There's another reason for the incentive to not blog that Andy Woodworth puts so perfectly:
It's not that there isn't anything interesting going on in the library world, just it's not interesting to me. Or it involves the act of dragging old bones in new graves on topics that I feel have been talked to death (eBooks and libraries, for example). Or, most recently, if I can succinctly add my input to a conversation on something like Twitter or Tumblr, I do it there. When others have better insight or commentary on topics, it's much more satisfying to share their posts or articles.
And, let's face it: there are far fewer librarians writing these days online, most conspicuously in blogs. I remember the leading advice of 2006 being to start a blog to get noticed online; now, if I heard a professor say that to their students, I would tell the students to flee. Even the Annoyed Librarian has been relegated to writing about last week's news that was sent (I guess they can't be bothered to find it) to them or "interesting" comments in previous entries. For myself, it's slim picking for content or commentary without sounding like I'm recycling previous entries. [Source]
It is easier and no doubt more convenient for me to say what I want to say in the shorter form arenas, such as Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr. Writing blog posts takes Time, and there's only so many hours in day after work and sleep for personal (leisure or otherwise) pursuits. But there is also much to be said about the lost(?) art of blogging – heck, our INALJ articles help brought us to 3.75 million page views by the end of December 2013. So I have to think: What gets me back into doing my own personal blogging, especially as I am launching into a job search in 2014 and need to have a handy professional writing outlet of my own to showcase to prospective employers?
Perhaps a narrower focus is in mind. Yes, this is a library blog, but trying to be the be-all end-all library blog is tiring, and shows lack of focus. Because of my current place of employment's social media policies, there are also some topics I really can't talk about, as much as I would want to. Thus, my desire is to use this space as my petri dish for what I want to learn more about in the coming year. In particular, I am focusing on three pet projects for this space in 2014:
- Gender issues (and related topics of diversity and intersectionality). This should come as no surprise, as I have been on two panels related to gender in the past three months, and am active in the #libtechgender and LibTechWomen communities. While I need to listen more in the library community in this arena, I also need to be ready to speak out on it more – an idea that came to me after being called out by a friend of my family (in a very not nice way) about the diversity in librarianship. I need to show non-librarians that yes, we are working on being more inclusive, and listening to my peers on ways we can do so as we move from storytelling to action.
- Technology. I need to broaden my coding toolbasket and web design skills. Period.
- Advocacy for Youth Services. I bet that one is leaving you scratching your head, because I'm not any sort of youth services librarian (though I have been told I would pass for one easily with my loud voice). Many of my friends (and a family member!) are youth services librarians, and I admire the work they do. In speaking with them, I realize that it often does not get the respect it deserves, because it's often viewed as "not sexy," "women's work" or "soft work." In truth, it's very important work – the library is the third space (outside of home and school) where children can find a place of community and family. But here is where I need to learn more before diving in deep (with guaranteed mistakes in the results: Children's/youth librarians: What blogs/listservs/miscellaneous resources should I be reading? What are talking points I can use when confronted with the prejudices that youth services work faces?
Of course, these are not new; just like the song above, they've "been always burning since the world's been turning." (See how good I tied all that together there? ) It is my belief that as an outside approaching all these issues from a somewhat outsider perspective, putting the "librarianship at 30,000 feet" spin on it, serves to inform, educate (including myself – remember that whole "I'm pretty good at making mistakes thing" I said above? :), and empower.
And perhaps, even in these three very divergent areas, we can find consensus, something this profession so desperately needs.

GPE i18n
Luc Pionchon <luc.pionchon <at> welho.com>
Hi all, Some times ago when I did gpe translations, I took couple of notes about i18n/UI. I just fixed a few of them, here are others: ----------------------------------------- I do not find examples right now, but at least some time ago, for tooltips, some messages used "tap" and others "click". Unless we could say somehow that the current system is used with a touchscreen and not a mouse, I think we should use "click" everywhere. Although it is a compromise, and I would agree as well to generalize "tap" :) -------------------------------------------------- #: ipaqscreen/main.c:160 network.c:553 msgid "on" #: ipaqscreen/main.c:161 network.c:561 msgid "off" I changed "on/off" to "yes/no" in network.c: it seems it has the same meening for me, and it allow different translation for DHCP or lights being on/off. Please revert if the change is undesired. As a general question, is there a way to tell gettext that the same original string used in different places may have various translations? ------------------------------------------------------ #: ipaqscreen/main.c:277(Continue reading)

I need to have multiple yet unknown devices to connect to an open wireless AP. I plug various mesurement instruments on this wireless network
I also have an existing network with multiple desktops (corporate network). This network is plugged to the internet
I want to be able to access the wireless network from within my corporate network so that I can work with the instruments from inside my network.
My corporate network is 192.168.0.1 and my wireless network is 192.168.10.1
My instruments have 192.168.10.1-255 and my desktop computers have 192.168.0.1-255.
I only have two cheap routers right now, DIR628 or something like that from dlink.
The problem I have is that regardless of how I wire everything, the wireless network will always have access to the internet so anyone can connect and abuse our tubes.
I maximise security while having an open AP, is this something doable?
I'd like to keep this network open since I don't have a wired connection to the devices. If I screw up the wireless encryption, I have to send the box back to the manufacturer for a hard reset.

As Green living catches on, more and more ways to make a house environmentally friendly are emerging. The Earth-Friendly Home, by Nancy Hajeski, Jennifer Acker, Philip J, Schmidt, David Goucher and others takes new and veteran homeowners on a journey of discovery, covering everything from architecture to Green personal products for the bathroom, and does it all in an easily accessible, bullet-point style accompanied by beautiful photo layouts that show just how lovely a Green home can be.
The first three chapters focus on how to take stock of the home you presently live in. Green thinking, say the authors, "encourages people to reuse, recycle, renovate, restore, and refurbish things they already own." Good advice, as most of us can't afford to go out and replace things at will. Instead, the authors place strong emphasis on encouraging Green homeowners to try and calculate how much energy and water they use and to look for other ways to reduce their carbon footprint, such as buying locally, recycling, and making adjustments to their homes, such as investing in a tankless water heater. From there, the book moves into more generalized areas of Green living.
What makes this book work is the way it's structured: the chapters are short and easy to follow; each page is full of interesting pictures, charts, and factoids as well as how-to advice. By the time you finish a chapter, you not only know that it's wise to cut down on automobile transportation, but that all those delivery trucks on the road--the ones that bring us food, take away garbage and stock our favorite stores--help add to our personal carbon footprints by the emissions they add to the air. There are sections that tell you how to figure out exactly how much power your major appliances use, what kinds of heating and cooling systems are most effective, and how to live Green in a smaller space such as an apartment. There's even a section on how to maintain a swimming pool so it stays energy-efficient: use a smaller pump and only run it eight hours a day. Add an automatic timer and if your pool is heated, turn the heater off when you don't need it. Use landscaping to protect it from prevailing winds and don't forget to keep your filters clean. This makes a refreshing change from other guides that may sniff at the idea of anyone owning a pool in the first place. Nancy Hajeski and her co-authors have created a guide that that is user-friendly, attractive and very comprehensive! The Earth-Friendly Home is a good addition to anyone's Green library!

BlackBerry's Budget Z3 Smartphone To Be Launched In India Soon
The device is expected to be priced at Rs 11,000, taking on the Lumia 630 and the mighty Moto G
Struggling Canadian handset maker BlackBerry is all set to launch its budget Z3 smartphone in India, after enjoying a great response from buyers in Indonesia. The Indian Express reports that the device will make its way to Indian shores within the next few weeks, and estimates that it will be priced at Rs 11,000.
The Z3 is the first fully-touch handset from BlackBerry that sits in the budget end of the market. The company's premium Z10 and Z30 failed to capture the imagination of buyers and even BB loyalists who sorely missed the renowned QWERTY keypad.
After Indonesia, India is the only other market where the company controls a somewhat significant share of the market. However, BlackBerry's share in both markets has fallen significantly over the past few years, and the company is desperate to reverse their fall with the launch of the Z3.
The device features a 5-inch display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. Powering the device is a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 200 processor coupled with 1.5 GB of RAM. A 5MP primary camera adorns the back of the Z3, while the front-facing shooter has a resolution of 1.1MP. The battery is rated at 2,500 mAh, which should get you through an entire day on a single charge.
BlackBerry's Z3 will sport the company's latest operating system, BB 10.2.1, which can run most Android Apps but need to be downloaded from third-party app stores. The device will be manufactured by Taiwan's Foxconn, the same company that produces the iPhone for Apple.
According to the Indian Express the Z3 will have a very attractive price in India. The device costs approximately Rs 11,000 in Indonesia and the company is expected to price the device similarly in India. The Z3 could very well be one of the last phones from BlackBerry, with the company's CEO stating that the devices arm could be shut if it fails to perform in the future.

Triple up. These colors are meant to look completely saturated, which means that sometimes, two coats aren't enough. "Three coats ensures that there won't be streaks and that the polish will be completely smooth and opaque," says Baek. But the more you pile on, the longer it will take to dry, so "make sure that each coat is thin, not gloppy," she says.
Match a little. "It's the best way to wear this trend," Bailey says. "Wearing pink on your fingers and another bright color, like green or blue, on your toes can be too hectic." If ten Day-Glo digits is too much to handle, "wear a bold color on your fingers and a lighter shade in the same color family on your toes, or vice versa," says Choi, such as purple with lavender or hot pink with bubblegum.

Two Flown-in-Space IMAX Cameras Donated to the National Air and Space Museum
Press Release
Wednesday April 4, 2012
Media Only:
Isabel Lara 202-633-2374
Brian Mullen 202-633-2376
Public information: 202-633-1000
Two IMAX cameras that flew aboard the space shuttle became part of the Smithsonian collection today. From 1984 to 1998, two-dimensional IMAX cameras accompanied astronauts on 17 space shuttle missions. These 70-mm large-format cameras, operated by astronauts, captured visually stunning views of Earth from space and offered an up-close look at what it is like to live and work in a weightless environment.
"Receiving this donation of flown-in space cameras from IMAX brings a story from the museum's history full circle." said Jennifer Levasseur, museum specialist in the Division of Space History. "The museum partnered with IMAX and Lockheed Martin in 1983 to create early space films such as The Dream Is Alive to increase public understanding of spaceflight through large-format films. Now, the museum will preserve and soon display these cameras to educate and inspire future generations."
Both of the cameras that captured breathtaking footage in space first flew aboard Space Shuttle Discovery. The in-cabin camera will go on display in the museum's "Moving Beyond Earth" gallery this summer. The payload-bay IMAX camera may go on display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in the future, alongside the Space Shuttle Discovery, which will be welcomed into the collection on April 19.
The National Air and Space Museum building on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., is located at Sixth Street and Independence Avenue S.W. The museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center is located in Chantilly, Va., near Washington Dulles International Airport. Both facilities are open daily from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. (closed Dec. 25). Admission is free, but there is a $15 fee for parking at the Udvar-Hazy Center.

New Season Ticket record
We smashed our old weekly hit record by about 40 percent for the week that ended Saturday, so I want to thank everyone who participated in the live blog.
As always, I'll take your suggestions about how to improve the format. I wanted to try a true live chat, but I had some trouble with the software. I'm thinking we'll try again on NBA Draft night, if there's any suspense at that point.
Anyway, thanks again.

Um... excuse me, lady. Your outfit photos are missing the most important thing. It's almost perfect but I have to say I can't give you perfect score without KUMA ;) I need a dose of perky little ears and some fluffball goodness.
I have yet to see the movie, Drive. I've heard a lot of positive feedback about the movie. And this Ryan Gosling guy... he "kind of" makes me week in the knees.

Your skirt would've been perfect for this dancer at Splash (a gay club in nyc). His schlong was down to his knees, NO JOKE. I couldn't believe how big and long it was!!! At least your skirt would've hidden his tripod. But you dress way better than him. =)

Trading places: Wael Kfoury replacing Ragheb Alama on Arab Idol, latter to join X Factor judging panel!
Although Lebanese superstar Nancy Ajram said that she wants Ragheb Alama back on the judging panel of Arab Idol Season 3, there are speculations that fellow Lebanese star Wael Kfoury will be taking the hot seat instead!
Kfoury is already a judge on rival show The X Factor (Arabic version), but according to news reports the two are swapping places!
It's thought that Ragheb will take Wael's place as judge on The X Factor, which was recently bought my MBC TV, who already own Arab Idol as well.
Because of Ragheb's sudden withdrawal from the show, the live shows have been postponed to April 11, reported Laha Magazine.
MBC have neither confirmed nor denied Wael's new "position," and viewers will have to wait until the live episodes are aired to find out who has taken Ragheb's seat on the judging panel!

I've just completed a new interactive activity for my Philosophy Experiments web site. It deals with some of the issues of consent that I've been thinking and blogging about (e.g., here & here) over these last few months.
But You'll Regret It In the Morning
The data is already showing something interesting – namely, that men and women tend to have a slightly different attitude towards some of the complications surrounding consent. Basically, it seems men are more likely than women to think a sexual encounter is morally permissible in the (arguably) borderline situations the activity focuses upon.
As usual, let me know if you spot any glaring errors, lacunae, etc.
Oh yes, I've also written a piece for the Huffington Post that covers similar issues.

We all share a passion for teaching, a focus on helping our students achieve their best,
and a commitment to uphold the highest ethical standards. We focus on helping our students become independent learners, and we aim at working ourselves out of a job. You can read about the individuals who make up our team below.
Rachel is a passionate teacher, and her students often comment that this passion and excitement for her subject makes them more interested, sometimes in spite of themselves. Rachel has been tutoring since January 2009, helping her students achieve their goals in AP US, AP World, and AP European History, both AP English classes, and the ACT and SAT. While most of her students have been in high school, she also has experience helping middle schoolers with English and with preparation for the SSAT/ISEE tests. She has extensive experience helping students craft and shape their college application essays, working both independently and with private educational consultants. Before becoming a tutor, Rachel taught undergraduate history classes and worked as an academic librarian. Both experiences continue to inform the work she does now.
When she's not working, Rachel runs a weekly knitting group in Arlington, enjoys inventing new recipes and haunting her local farmers' markets, attending live concerts and shows, and getting to the beach as often as she can.

Eli Gerstenlauer
Over the past decade, Eli has worked with students of all ages on everything from arithmetic and geometry to college-level calculus. In addition to working with Shulman & Hill students, Eli runs all of our training for new hires in math and science.
Eli is also passionate about volunteer work. He helps underserved Boston 8th graders apply for and enroll in selective high schools, trains high school students to be tutors for younger children, and works with students on subjects including tap dance, hands-on science, statistics, and Chinese energy work.
Eli's passion is for working with students for whom school is a little too slow or a little too fast. A core component of his tutoring is the building of self-confidence and personal work ethic, which in his experience are top growth areas for most kids.
When he's not taking standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, or ISEE for fun, Eli enjoys practicing Tai Chi, reading science fiction, swimming, and baking bread − though, to his regret, he can still only do these things one at a time.

Leah Boylan
Leah Boylan is an editor, tutor, and puzzle enthusiast (math, jigsaw, and otherwise). She first pursued teaching and tutoring while an undergraduate at Bryn Mawr College, from teaching logic to 5th and 6th graders, to tutoring undergraduate calculus, to helping students in Philadelphia take the SAT and apply to college.

Emily Mclaughlin
Emily is without question a science enthusiast. Though she is a "technically" a neuroscientist, she enjoys all math and science disciplines. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience at Washington State University in Pullman, WA and plans to pursue a PhD in the same field. While her students seem to find it a bit odd, Emily greatly enjoys studying as a hobby, particularly science and world languages, and loves to share this passion with everyone she can. Regardless of the subject they're working on together, Emily enjoys learning about her students' strengths and weaknesses, and helping them create strong foundations of good habits and strategies for the rest of their academic careers. She considers patience the greatest virtue.
In her free time, or really whenever she can find the time, Emily loves to dance. While she started with Latin dances in high school and her true passion is Lindy Hop, most often she just dances freestyle to any beat she hears. Emily is an avid traveler, amateur adventurer, and loves intricate board games.
BA, Washington State University – Pullman, Neuroscience, 2013
Kate Charles
After earning her BA in Mathematics from Wesleyan University, Kate Charles returned to the classroom to train as a biological scientist. While working on her Master's at the Harvard Extension School, she gained a deep respect and appreciation for students from non-traditional backgrounds and students with special challenges. Kate began teaching as an Associate Instructor at Indiana University while a PhD student in Biology, and discovered a passionate interest in science education and in teaching strategies that work with the students' backgrounds and goals.
When she isn't teaching or working on her dissertation, Kate may be knitting, baking, or playing her ukulele – though somehow she often finds herself spontaneously teaching people to knit, bake, and strum. At no time, however, does she stop being a science nerd.

ECMAScript 6 and Proxy
Being able to intercept a certain operation to an object can be really useful, in particular during a troubleshooting session. With ECMAScript 6, this is possible via its new feature, proxy. Creating a proxy on a particular object allows a predefined handler to get notified when something happens. In the latest draft specification (Rev 15,… Read more »
ECMAScript 6 and Block Scope
Until today, JavaScript comes with a function-level scope for variables and functions. This quirk often trips beginners who are already familiar with other curly braces language. With ECMAScript 6, the situation will change with the availability of the well-understood block scope. Function-level scope leads to a situation called hoisting. For example, for this code: function… Read more »
ECMAScript 6 and Method Definitions
Using an object literal populated with some member functions is a common practice in any serious JavaScript applications. This is also useful for all kind of frameworks, in particular to setup object prototypes. The upcoming ECMAScript 6 introduces method definition, a nice shorthand which eliminates the need to use function when using that pattern. Before… Read more »
ECMAScript 6 and Spread Operator
We have seen how a rest parameter can help the handling of a variable number of function arguments. What about the other way around? Can we turn an array into a series of function arguments? Apparently, ECMAScript 6 defines a new type of operator called the spread operator which does exactly that. Let us review… Read more »
ECMAScript 6 and Rest Parameter
Handling a function with a variable number of arguments is always tricky in JavaScript. At least, we still have this arguments object which can be used to retrieve all arguments used to invoke a function. With the upcoming ECMAScript 6, no such hack is necessary anymore since we can start using its rest parameter feature…. Read more »

"So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains, and we never even know we have the key" -Eagles THE KEY is about finding that key, and freeing youself of your chains. It is about the alchemy of changing tension, anxiety, and stress into happiness, health, and prosperity. It is a compact manual for the human spirit, containing wisdom to help you realize your dreams. To discover one's own true nature as a creator is to know the joy of an expanding universe in one's heart. THE KEY is a compilation of nearly a half century of reading, thinking, conversations, reflections and experience, boiled down into a book that is eloquent in it's simplicity, clarity, directness, and honesty. It contains essential wisdom that was at times hard won, but in the end, helps one to move toward a happier, healthier, richer life. We need a critical mass of people to reach this place of creativity and positive responsibility if we are to live in a world where creativity is the name of the game, and we are working together on a global scale instead of against each other.
How did you come up with the title of your book?
The title for the key was inspired by an Eagle's song, written in the 1970's, in wh ich there is a line that goes "So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains, and we never even know we have the key". Ever since then, I've pondered
what that key might be, and finally came up with my answer, which is the book, "The Key".
What is your writing environment like?
It is the oak table in my kitchen/d ining/living room. It is a bright and cheerful place, yet cozy, surrounded by oak floors, pine cabinets, post and beam timbers, musical instruments, and a couple of houseplants.
What are some of the best tools available today for writers?
Word processors help when it comes to editing and putting a proof together, bu t I'm old school at least in the sense that my rough drafts are always written by hand because I feel there is a connection there and a flow that I don't get with a machine.
What inspires you to write?
In the case of "The Key", it was the concept of the book itself. It is a compilation of nearly half a century of reading, thoughts, and conversations, begging to be pulled together into some kind of a unified text. It's a combination of ancient/new wisdom, illustrated by some short stories about the journey to the edge of life itself. It's a short book and an easy read, but covers a lot of ground, and can be both healing and inspiring.
Did you learn anything while writing this book?
That I can get by on very little sleep when I need to but would rather not.
What is your favorite quality about yourself?
I am patient and kind.

Five questions with Silver Oak Cellars' David Duncan
A couple weeks ago, we headed up to one of our favorite Napa Valley wineries, Silver Oak Cellars, looking to taste some of their famous Oakville cabernet sauvignon. As we made our way down the long, tree-lined driveway toward the winery, we were suddenly aware of the fact that something wasn't right. As we got closer, we could see the better part of the winery and tasting room were under construction. Off to the right were several portable buildings and a slew of cars parked in a nearby gravel lot.
So what, exactly, was going on? We quickly learned of the winery's plans to construct a brand new facility on its Oakville estate (they just broke ground in February). Never one to miss out on an interview opportunity, we caught up with the winery's general manager, David Duncan, who was gracious enough to fill us in on plans for the new winery in Oakville, which is scheduled to be completed in time for the 2008 crush. As an added bonus, he also provided us with a couple renderings of the new facility! Read on for all the details.
CB: Tell us about the new winery. Can you share specifics on how it will look? New features or advances? What can we expect to find when we enter the new facility once it's completed?
Duncan: We are fortunate to be designing a winery for a single purpose that we have pursued for over 35 years. We only produce one wine in Oakville: our Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and that is the only wine our new winery will make. The good thing is, we have been at it for so long that we know exactly what we "wish we had." That is the winery we are building. The whole winery will be ideal to our single purpose and we are building in flexibility for winemaking advances in the future.
Part of our design objective is to honor our past and make the facility "feel like" Silver Oak. The main hospitality building will be constructed of stone we are reclaiming from a 180 year old building in Kansas.
CB: What exactly is a hospitality center and what will be included in it?
Duncan: We will have a tasting room, offices and a kitchen suitable for our style of "casual elegance" entertaining. There will also be a beautiful wine cellar display and an inviting courtyard to relax and enjoy Oakville.
CB: In your mind, what's the one thing visitors will be "wowed" by when they visit the new facility?
Duncan: The winery will be ideally suited to our winemaking style. It is going to be fantastic! We are also trying to construct something that evokes our own history and the heritage of the Napa Valley.
CB: As part of this project, you purchased a facility from Roshambo Winery over in Healdsburg. Talk to us about that. What is the plan for that facility and how will it be utilized going forward?
Duncan: The Duncan Family purchased this winery as part of our long term plan to increase our sister winery's, Twomey, Pinot Noir program. Located in the heart of the Russian River Appellation, this location will be ideal to produce Pinot Noir, which Twomey began with the 2002 Vintage. While it was reported in the press that "Silver Oak" purchased this facility that is incorrect.
CB: For anyone who comes to visit Silver Oak Cellars in Oakville between now and when this project is finished, what can they expect? Are tastings still happening as usual? What's the experience like today?
Duncan: We have gone to great effort to create a tasting room experience during the construction in Oakville. We are open and have a temporary facility on site. Our Tasting room experience is first about the wine and about the friendly people there to greet you. You will also have a front row seat to watch the action as our new winery comes out of the ground. We also have two web cams on our website to follow the progress if you can't be in the Napa Valley.

Celebrating 50 years of serving South Texas gardeners and their families!
Schulz Nursery was founded in 1958 by Mr. Hugo Schulz.
Originally, the business was started as a wholesale operation but local demand led the nursery to become a retail garden center, as more and more customers learned of its existence. In the beginning, hardly any funds were available for advertising but word of mouth by happy customers helped to spread the news and the business continued to grow, thanks to the efforts of hard working and dedicated employees.
We continue the traditions and commitment to quality of the Schulz family.
Great plants and great service are hallmarks of Schulz Nursery. The Gardener's Gazette newsletter was started by Jim Schulz. The Dutch Sale and the Shady Deal were also creations from the Schulz era and we are proud to continue the tradition.

Larry the Cable guy knows his fans have the munchies and he doesn't mind helping filling that void. The entertainer announced on Saturday that he has a new potato chip variety that is coming out soon to add to the already popular line of snacks he has that is sold to help his charity. According to Motley Fool on Saturday, dip, chips, wings, and soda are mainstays of any Super Bowl party so it isn't surprising that people are looking for new types of chips to put in the bowls on game day.
What is the new flavor of potato chips from Larry the Cable Guy? Well, it is biscuits and gravy that will be added to the already popular line that includes flavors like barbeque rib, cheeseburger and ketchup. Oh, and our personal favorite, dill pickles. While the flavors aren't typical, they are delicious and help a good cause.
"My Biscuits and Gravy Tater Chips are coming soon! Keep an eye for them!" tweeted Larry the Cable Guy from his official Twitter account on Saturday. Keeping the fans informed everyone is on the lookout for these chips as well as the chocolate covered chips.
Besides tasting delicious and impressing friends during the Super Bowl, purchasing the potato chips helps people as well. Larry the Cable Guy donates a portion to charities, specifically through Git-R-Done. The foundation he started that provides assistance to charitable organizations that need help, particularly those assisting children and veterans.
Check out of Larry the Cable Guy's chips online or find a store near you. What could be better than great tasting chips, the Super Bowl and helping others all in one afternoon?

For a moment, I feel myself returning to my younger self, the one who, too embarrassed to say no, hiked down cliffs and up steep paths, heart pounding with fear, always the last one in a group. But then I snap out of it. Part of middle age for me is not giving in to such pressures. I don't want to ski black diamonds, rappel down rocks or climb mountains. "It's not for me," I say firmly. I raise my glass of wine in a toast. "But here's to those who love it."
LEAVING wine-drenched, laid-back Mendoza is difficult, but the lure of tango and Buenos Aires eases our farewell. After a two-hour flight, we are standing in the neighborhood called Palermo Soho, in our tiny, aptly named Costa Petit Hotel. With only four guest rooms, each decorated with whimsical art and antiques, the hotel is charming and cozy. Hand in hand, we explore the streets around it. One afternoon is spent browsing books and eating empanadas at Boutique del Libro. The next day, after a breakfast in bed of café con leche and croissants, we ride the A line on the subte, the Buenos Aires subway, with the original wooden cars from 1913.
The city is large and sprawling with tree-lined streets, rolling parks dotted with impressive statues and fountains, ice cream shops and cafés everywhere. But my fantasy is to tango with Lorne. I think I fell in love with him all those years ago when he visited me in my New York City apartment and "Build Me Up Buttercup" came on the radio. Without pausing, Lorne took me in his arms and began to dance. After all this time, all those mountains—the literal and figurative ones that, between us, we've scaled—is a spontaneous dance still enough to send my heart into overdrive?
The tango, however, proves elusive. From what I'd read before coming here, it sounded as if people tangoed on every street corner. But the famous Sunday milonga in the San Telmo neighborhood is rained out. The lessons at Confitería Ideal are canceled all week because a television commercial is being filmed there. While I keep listening for the sounds of an accordion playing tango, Lorne and I go to one of the professional shows at the Astor Piazzolla Theater. The ornate dinner theater reminds me of Rhode Island's Chateau de Ville, the magenta and purple wedding cake of a dinner theater from my childhood. But once the dancers appear, the comparisons stop. This is no bad revival of Camelot; this is passionate, heart-wrenching, beautiful tango.
Tango is a mix of several musical rhythms (African, Cuban and Spanish), originally danced only by men. By 1912, Buenos Aires throbbed with the beat of the tango, and couples danced it with legs intertwined, in a hug-like embrace. The professional dancers we watch are ruffled and sequined and skin baring. As a vocalist sings in Spanish, couples smile at each other, kiss, even climb onto each other's laps. It is true that there's something both lusty and lovely about the tango. Lorne leans over and kisses me. "Beautiful," he murmurs.
AT LAST, on the day before we are set to leave, I arrange a tango lesson for myself at Torquato Tasso in San Telmo. (You have to sign up with a master teacher of the opposite sex, and no female master is available for Lorne during my time slot.) My instructor, Quique, is short and lithe and dressed entirely in black. He does not speak in English except to say, "We practice. That's all." Four other people and another instructor are in the class, but Quique is mine, all mine. We start with a simple eight-step tango, which I keep messing up on the sixth beat. "We practice. That's all," Quique says.
