Unknown Fields ChernobylSection 1: Chernobyl Exclusion Zone to Baikonur Cosmodrome
Unknown Fields is a nomadic studio that will set off on an annual expedition to the ends of the earth exploring forgotten landscapes, alien terrains and obsolete ecologies. Each year we will navigate a different global cross-section and map the complex and contradictory realities of the present as a site of strange and extraordinary futures. You will be both visionaries and reporters as the sites we encounter will afford us a distanced viewpoint from which to survey the consequences of emerging environmental and technological scenarios.
This year, on the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's first manned space flight, we will pack our Geiger counters and spacesuits as we chart a course from the atomic to the cosmic to investigate the unknown fields between the exclusion zone of the Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor in the Ukraine and Gagarin's launchpad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The studio will be launched with an international symposium at the AA in London which will define the themes and agenda for the studio before boarding the plane for Kiev, Ukraine where our expedition begins. Our journey then takes us through the Chernobyl exclusion zone and the abandoned streets of Pripyat, the atomic city. Here, in the shadows of nuclear disaster we will survey this irradiated wilderness and bear witness to a sobering apocalyptic vision of the past. Back at 'Guest House Chernobyl' we will begin our series of collaborator led workshops speculating on the possibilities of the future. We will fly to Almaty in Kazakhstan to board the overnight sleeper train that will form our ad hoc nomadic studio. Thundering through the cotton fields of Kazakhstan, we will cross the ancient silk route before alighting on the shores of the cosmic ocean of Baikonur Cosmonaut city. Bathed in the white light of satellites blasting into tomorrow's sky and under the watchful eye of Gagarin's Monument to Trailblazers we will visit the launchpads and spacecraft of the Cosmodrome, the hallowed grounds of 'platform 112', 'platform 250' and test case rocket 'Proton M'. We will return to Almaty for our final field workshop before flying back to London for a closing event to compile our observations and speculations. In these shifting fields of nature and artifice we will re-examine our preservationist and conservationist attitudes toward the natural world and document a cross-section through a haunting landscape of the ecologically fragile and the technologically obsolete.
Joining us on our expedition will be collaborators from the worlds of technology, science and fiction including the Phillips Technologies Design Probes research Lab and Archis/Volume magazine. Together we will form a travelling circus of research visits, field reportage, rolling discussions and impromptu tutorials. Throughout our journey The Unknown Fields Division will identify opportunities for tactical intervention and speculative invention that will be chronicled in a publication and international touring exhibition. The studio will examine the never-never lands between cultivation and nature and spin cautionary tales of a new kind of wilderness.
Applications are now closed.
The AA Visiting School requires a fee of £650 per participant which includes a £50 Visiting Student Membership, made payable to the AA School of Architecture. As a unique travelling studio Unknown Fields has packaged all costs of our extensive travel itinerary including all flights from and returning to London, internal travel from Chernobyl to Baikonur, all accommodation, entrance fees, permits and workshops into one additional fee of £900. Participants need to bring their own laptops, camera equipment and working materials.
Schedule & Venue
The school runs from 11 to 22 July and will begin at our London rally point before travelling by land, sea and air on a landscape cross section from the Chernobyl Exclusion zone in the Ukraine to the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazaksthan. This is an immersive, travelling studio with a fixed itinerary requiring full-time participation. Workshops will be conducted en route at a series of unique venues conducted by an ensemble of collaborators who will be joining us on the expedition.

Our springador, Titus, and his litter mates were accidents. Mom was a AKC registered tricolor springer and dad was a AKC registered black labrador retriever. The owner of mom didn't charge for the puppies, since she didn't feel comfortable profiting from not fixing her dog. I've seen people charge $500 plus for "oops" dogs. Titus is the best thing to happen to my husband and I. Titus is 5.5 months old now, and just a love. Very smart! He was house trained in 5 days after we picked him up when… Read Full Review

A Springer Spaniel x Labrador is not a true breed, nor is it a 'designer dog'. The fact they are being sold for hundreds of pounds is ridiculous, they are a crossbreed. I have met a few Lab x Springers, and they can be good dogs. They tend to be excitable and energetic, and the nice ones I have met were owned by good people. They were well trained, properly socialised, walked for several hours a day and well loved. This helps create a happy stable dog that fits well into a family. However I… Read Full Review

He has an amazing temperament and is left for 8 hours a day without any problems. He is gentle and friendly with children, adults and all other dogs and does not have a nasty bone in him. His appearance is like a small working Labrador with a short Labrador coat but is white with brown spots and long ears. people often think he is a small Pointer. He is a natural… Read Full Review

I re-homed my Springador three years ago when he was three years old. His previous owner was going through a divorce at that time and her ex-husband no longer wanted him. He came to me already acclimatised with children which is very important these days.

A massacre fine was placed on Virginia Tech by the United States government, via United States Education Secretary Arne Duncan, on Friday. It is the second fine realized by Virginia Tech in relation to the on-campus massacre on April 16, 2007 that left 33 persons dead, according to an ABC News report on Friday.
The fine of $5,000 has been given after a fine of $27,500 was approved by Duncan some 13 months ago. At issue, at the time of the first fine, was Virginia Tech's alleged failure to give a timely warning about the shootings that occurred in 2007. The current issue is regarding the federal education officials' claim that Virginia Tech had inconsistent timely warning policies when the massacre occurred in 2007.
The United States' Clery Act requires educational facilities to issue timely warning of any campus threat, and it has been claimed that Virginia Tech did not follow this requirement.
The Clery Act security report from 2007 regarding the incident stated that the Virginia Tech police was to issue warnings. However, there was a separate policy within that employees and students didn't know about. The internal policy stated that campus warnings would be issued by the university relations department along with the police.
Originally, $27,500 was sought by the Office of Federal Student Aid in the second fine as well as the first, but a judge reduced the second fine to only $5,000. Duncan went with the smaller fine because he decided that the inconsistent policies at the school were not a conspicuously bad violation of the Clery Act.
Virginia Tech will possibly appeal the first fine of $27,500 and the current fine of $5,000 according to a school spokesperson. Virginia Tech has been quite critical of federal officials for not being specific as to what a timely warning is.
Families of persons killed have blamed the school for students still being killed two-and-a-half hours after the initial shooting. Seung-Hui Cho went on a shooting rampage at Virginia Tech in 2007, killing 33 persons and himself.

Everything wrong with the 2014 Godzilla
Spoilers, obviously
In the years before the advent of arcanotechnology and dimensional fatigue events, teratology was the study of abnormalities and biological deformations. In the wake of the second renaissance, it became the study of exomorphs, extradimensional entities, and most prominently, teratomorphs, more commonly and vulgarly known as kaiju.
Also known as Kaiju Spawn, Magna-parasites, angel-spawn, sin spawn, and a variety of other terms
Also known as "The Ravager," Chimera Prototype Mk-XXIII is an example of man's hubris. What was supposed to benefit the last bastions of wealth and power in a dying world has become an unstoppable force of destruction.
While technically alive, magnagogs have little in the way of personality and are driven via telepathic command.
The Qualm is a giant mass of tentacles and leaves with hundreds of mouth-like pods lined with teeth. It is about 1/8 of the size of Earth's moon, and it travels through space looking for nutrient rich planets that it can suck dry.

The Florida legislature will meet early next month, however prior to that session starting, different legislative committees vet various bills deciding which will be debated in the Florida Senate and the Florida House, while others will die in those committees, never to see the light of day. That is what is brewing in Tallahassee this week and tomorrow, February 11, 2014 the Business & Professional Regulation Subcommittee will meet to discuss whether to allow small craft breweries more latitude to market their products.
HB 283 and HB 387 will be discussed which proposed to allow craft brewers of beer the ability offer free tastings on their premises and the ability to sell their product in 64-ounce containers. Floridians may be surprised how highly regulated the beer and alcohol market is in Florida, however it can by highly restrictive. For example, in Bloomberg-esque fashion, Florida state law prohibits beer being sold in anything larger than a 32-ounce container.
The issue upsetting large scale breweries is a couple variants being discussed and the main issue is the proposal to allow craft breweries not only sell and offer tastings of what they produce, but to also sell other brewer's products. Eric Criss, representing MillerCoors via the Beer Industry of Florida, a pro-regulation lobbying group, recently said, "The distributor's job is to sell the retailer a particular craft brand — to get a tap or shelf space, both of which are precious real estate. Those retailers have created business plans and made significant investments in their stores. Why should retailers be happy to put a craft beer supplier on their store shelves or on tap in their restaurant if that craft beer supplier is now the competition?"
It is clear libertarians are for any mode which increases a business's ability to expand their business and free itself of as much regulation as possible. In fact, most libertarians would likely favor removal of the intrusive state regulations on beer. After all, the Libertarian Party of Florida's platforms states:
A free and competitive market allocates resources in the most efficient manner. Each person has the right to offer goods and services to others on the free market. The only proper role of government in the economic realm is to protect property rights, adjudicate disputes, and provide a legal framework in which voluntary trade is protected. All efforts by government to redistribute wealth, or to control or manage trade, are improper in a free society."

The Tangled Bank is the first textbook about evolution intended for the general reader. Zimmer, an award-winning science writer, takes readers on a fascinating journey into the latest discoveries about evolution. In the Canadian Arctic, paleontologists unearth fossils documenting the move of our ancestors from sea to land. In the outback of Australia, a zoologist tracks some of the world's deadliest snakes to decipher the 100-million-year evolution of venom molecules. In Africa, geneticists are gathering DNA to probe the origin of our species. In clear, non-technical language, Zimmer explains the central concepts essential for understanding new advances in evolution, including natural selection, genetic drift, and sexual selection. He demonstrates how vital evolution is to all branches of modern biology-from the fight against deadly antibiotic-resistant bacteria to the analysis of the human genome. Richly illustrated with 285 illustrations and photographs, The Tangled Bank is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the history of life on Earth.

At first glance, we thought, "Hey, someone's cat got ahold of this sweater!" But, when we looked closer at SmittenNYC's Shredded Sleeve Sweater ($154), we realized it was intentionally distressed - and quite possibly the perfect early spring layer. Made from a silky linen & cotton blend with a rolled neckline and front pockets, it's a kicky mix of femme and punk, all in one wearable piece.

North American Workshop on Tropical Geometry (07w5055)
Ilia Itenberg (University of Strasbourg)
Grigory Mikhalkin (University of Toronto)
Yan Soibelman (Kansas State University)
Tropical Geometry already proved to be useful in quite distinct areas of Mathematics. By now it has applications in Real Algebraic Geometry, Enumerative Geometry, Mirror Symmetry, Symplectic Geometry and Computational/Combinatorial Geometry. The list of its applications keeps growing. E.g. most recently, Tropical Geometry had a brand-new appearance in the Statistical Physic work of R. Kenyon and A. Okounkov where they studied mathematical model for dimers accumulation. Currently there are several research groups around the globe that are doing active research in Tropical Geometry from somewhat different points of view. One can also mention a conjectural relationship with the String Theory (e.g. topological vertex, Donaldson-Thomas invarians and melting crystal model).
Tropical Geometry is still a very young subject. It received its current name in March 2002 (when B. Sturmfels visited G. Mikhalkin in Salt Lake City). It went to the scope of the Bourbaki seminar in June 2003 (when I. Itenberg gave a talk at the Bourbaki seminar in Paris). The first conference on Tropical Geometry that helped to understand the state of the emerged subject and to outline some important directions of its development took place in the Fall of 2003 in the American Institute of Mathematics in Palo Alto (organized by Mikhalkin, Sturmfels and Viro). There is a number of young researchers, in particular, graduate students and post-docs who work in this area. In the Fall of 2004 Itenberg, Mikhalkin and Shustin organized an Oberwolfach Seminar on the subject (which was aimed, mainly, to the young researchers). The most recently there was a joint workshop of mathematicians and physicists in May 2005 in Strasbourg (organized by Itenberg and Turaev) where new connections with Physics
were discovered.
We propose to organize a workshop in Banff that would enable "Tropical" researchers in different areas
of Mathematics to communicate and to develop a more global point of view on the subject. We believe that the beginning of 2007 would be a perfect time to review the development of this young subject and to set up further directions of development. Also, one goal why we would particularly like to organize such a workshop in Banff (while all prior workshops only took place either in the United States
or Europe) would be to stimulate connections between Canadian and American research groups in Tropical Geometry (as well as connections of North American research groups to the rest of the world).

Martha May Eliot M.D. (1891-1978) is considered among the founders of the Maternal and Child Health field. She graduated from Johns Hopkins Medical School in 1918, and went on to hold a variety of highly influential national and international public service positions including Chief of the U.S. Children's Bureau (an early iteration of the HRSA MCHB).
Julia Lathrop was a social worker and the first chief of Children's Bureau. Lathrop said: "The theory on which the [Children's] Bureau was created [was] that if the Government can investigate and report, the conscience and power of local communities can be depended upon for local action."
She created the plan for the Sheppard-Towner Act that led to the Title V program and had her bill sponsored in 1918 by the nation's first Congresswoman, Jeannette Rankin of Montana.
|Dr. Josephine Baker was the first Chief of the MCH Bureau of Child Hygiene (later Bureau of Child Health) in the New York City Health Department from 1908-1923.
In 1912, she pointed to prematurity as a problem with social economic, medical and hygenic dimensions. Baker said, "[Neonatal mortality is] not a medical problem, but in a larger sense a social problem."

Is it possible in Thunderbird to move a thread from the Inbox to another folder - say folder ToDo - and then have replies for that thread be moved automatically in the ToDo folder?
I'm interested in a solution which works without manual intervention for each new thread - so no filter per discussion thread. It does not have to be applied instantly as new message arrive - a delay of 1-2 minutes is fine, and it does not have to work for all folders - if I can get Inbox and ToDo to sync like this it's fine.

Abigail Riccards: I'll Be Seeing You
I'll Be Seeing You
Abigail Riccards (vocals)
When The Night Is New (Jazz Excursion 116)
Abigail Riccards (vocals), Lage Lund (guitar).
Composed by Sammy Fain and Irving Kahal.
Recorded: Systems Two Studios, Brooklyn, N.Y. March 13,14, 2007
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
You know that cliché about a voice so beautiful that you wouldn't mind it singing the phone book? I'm ashamed to say that I've got to dust that one off for Abigail Riccards. The song itself has been done by so many singers that I was surprised to find myself looking up from my writing pad as the first verse passed. Guitarist Lund floats a gorgeous chord melody underneath the vocals...and oh, the vocals! Riccards has a lovely, finely textured voice and the delicate trills added at each line's end made me wish I'd known this version forever.

I totally agree. This whole album is one of the best I've heard in years. I'm glad to see you wrote something about it! Her voice is smooth and clear, and it possesses a sincerity that is rarely scene, especially in younger singers. Kudos.

What Your Rabbit Really Needs
Rabbits are really popular pets in the UK, second only to cats and dogs, and they can make great companions. However, despite peoples best efforts their needs are often misunderstood and rather than being treated as the intelligent, social animal they are, many are condemned to a life of loneliness and boredom in a cage at the bottom of the garden. It is not difficult to look after rabbits in a way that will keep them both healthy and happy, so what do they really need?
The most important thing you can do to keep a rabbit healthy is feed them a balanced diet. The most common problems that vets see in rabbits are over-grown teeth, tummy upsets and obesity related disease, all of which are directly related to them being fed incorrectly. The vast majority of a rabbit's diet, at least 80%, should be good quality hay. As a rough guide, every day a rabbit should eat a pile of hay as big as it is. Rabbit's teeth grow continually and without hay to grind them down, they can develop painful spikes, which rip into the tissues of the mouth, and nasty abscesses in the roots. Hay is also required for good digestion (rabbits can easily die from upset tummies) and helps prevent them getting fat. In addition to hay rabbits should have a small amount of fresh vegetables every day, half a handful is enough and a small amount of pelleted rabbit food, no more than a tablespoon twice a day. This is often where people go wrong, leaving the rabbit with an over-flowing bowl of rabbit food, which, because it is high in calories and very tasty, it is all they eat, giving them a very unbalanced diet.

Please Note - You also need to create another SafeAssignment that will be your Final Version. This Final version should have the "Draft" feature set to "No" so that when the students submit, their paper is not only checked for plagiarism, but also stored in the database.
So in summary - to allow for drafts of a SafeAssignment, complete the following steps:

Why Virgin Indian Hair Extensions?
This entry was posted on February 25, 2011.
These days, the market for hair extensions is flooded with locks from all over the globe. Online sellers and even beauty supply stores sell strands that claim to be Russian, Brazilian, Spanish, "European," "Caucasian," and even Hawaiian. The sheer number of choices can be overwhelming! But making the right choice is easy when you know that virgin Indian Remy hair extensions are the best - and why.
The Virgin Difference
For starters, let's look at the purity of the hair being sold. Many dealers claim that their hair is one-hundred-percent virgin, meaning that it has not been chemically altered in any way; the only product that this hair has ever seen is a comb, or so they claim. Yet hair extensions from countries like Russia, Brazil, and Spain have often been subject to chemical treatments, either before or after the dealers bought them.
Why? Well, consider this: in India, chemical hair treatments are seldom used and rarely available for the women who donate their locks at temples to use. In fact, chemical coloring and straightening processes are rather frowned upon, and certainly out of most women's price range. In more developed countries – where dyeing and altering hair is common practice and relatively cheap – there is a higher probability that the Spanish or Brazilian hair you buy has been tampered with and is not really virgin hair.
Consider the Source
Virgin Indian Remy hair also has the advantage of coming from a guaranteed-safe source. True virgin Indian hair is collected from women all over India who come to Hindu temples to sacrifice their hair in a practice called tonsure. These women specifically intend to give their hair away as part of their religious practices, so they treat it well and take good care of it.
Hair sourced from other parts of the world, on the other hand, is often stolen or sold as a measure of last resort; women who desperately need money chop off their locks and sell them – no matter the condition they are actually in – in order to make some fast money. Their hair may have seen all kinds of damage, because they don't really care for it. And this past poor treatment could lead to all sorts of problems with your hair extensions, including dryness, breakage, frizzing, and splitting.
Greater Versatility
Besides generally being higher-quality than other types of hair extensions, Indian Remy hair extensions have a far broader appeal than Russian or "European" strands. While some Slavic or even Spanish hair extensions have a bit of wave to them, their texture is generally not sufficient to match or even blend in with any natural hair type besides Type 1. The hair is simply too straight and wispy to look plausible on many different women. Indian hair, however, comes in a wider variety of textures and thicknesses, enabling it to blend in with almost any head of hair.
Eyeballing It
Finally, sellers of "Caucasian" and "European" hair – both red flags, since these names usually mean that hair from several different women from several different regions has been packaged together - all tout their hair extensions' range of colors. They claim that the hair you buy is naturally blond, red, or light brown. However, the color you see in the package could come as the result of any combination of dyes, either before or after the seller bought it. The hard truth is that many dishonest companies buy, bundle, and process low-quality hair to make it look silky-straight and European.
With virgin Indian Remy hair, you know right away what you're getting. The hair is soft, lustrous, and sleek black, as it was when sacrificed at the temple. If you request colored hair, you know that it has been dyed and still are getting exactly what you paid for. And with Perfect Locks' virgin Indian hair, you know that each package of hair came from one woman who took excellent care of it before willingly and gladly giving it away.
So which should you choose? We think the choice is clear.
Take care of yourselves,

From the best site for designer look-alikes to the award for the selection that'll make you want to get a Kickstarter fund going for your wardrobe, we've ranked our favorite sites to drain your bank account—or just do some digital drooling.
Best for Vintage: Nasty Gal
This super-addicting site is perfect for ladies who love vintage clothes but don't love digging through mothball-scented racks or fighting over a find with a hipster who just downloaded Mackelmore's Thrift Shop. Nasty Gal does the dirty work for you, featuring loads of one-of-a-kind scores with detailed info about the condition and sizing and pictures of models wearing the garments so that you can actually see what that hippie skirt will look like. Besides perfectly-curated vintage, Nasty Gal has an awesome collection of edgy pieces by outside designers like Jeffrey Campbell, and recently launched a proprietary collection with lookbooks shot by Terry Richardson. With their mostly affordable pricing, there's nothing nasty about it.
Best "I Can't Believe It's Not Designer": ModCloth
Dying to wear that Bottega Venetta dress that Amanda Seyfried wore to the National Board of Review gala? ModCloth's got an almost identical version for a price that doesn't require you to be an Academy Award-nominated actress—and the same goes for just about any dress you could want. But ModCloth's not just about oodles (and we mean oodles) of pretty party dresses that look like they cost more than $50—they're seriously on top of trends, churning out simple, extremely affordable pieces in a generous range of sizes as fast as they come. There's even a fun voting feature that allows you to play buyer and 'pick' or 'skip' looks that are in development, or even comment about something about the garment you'd like to change. As for the site—and the charming puns it uses to name all of its products—we wouldn't change a thing.
Best Fashion Aggregator: Popsugar Shopping
If you're not into doing a whole lot of Googling and scrolling to find what you want, look no further than Popsugar Shopping. Formerly known as ShopStyle, Popsugar's shopping section works a lot like our other favorite fashion aggregator, Polyvore.com—the site allows you to see results from tons of other shopping sites based on a specific search (it's fun to see just how specific you can get—there are 'coral metallic socks' for sale somewhere on the internet!). You can make browsing even easier by narrowing results down by color family, brand and price. Though we love how Polyvore users can create Pinterest-style mood boards featuring their favorite products, ultimately, Popsugar Shopping beat it out because of the fact that the site lets you see how many of each size are left before you fall in love with something, saving you serious online shopping time (so that you have more time to shop online, of course).
Best Site Your Mom Also Uses: Zappos
Good old Zappos. You just can't beat their selection of zillions of shoes—not to mention homeware, accessories, beauty and clothes. With never-ending free shipping and returns, plus all-night customer service (because when are you really doing your online shopping? Not from 9 to 5 EST), this site makes it pretty easy to keep repeating to yourself, "If the shoe fits…"
Most Drool-Inducing Selection: farfetch
Farfetch.com's idea of slashed prices may be a discount on a Mary Katrantzou dress from $7,688 to $3,844, but it's not so heartbreaking if you surf there knowing there's no chance you're going to buy anything. The designers are luxe, the prices are outrageous and the clothes are so on-trend that it sometimes feels like you're looking at a website from the future, but hey, a girl's gotta dream.
Best Site for the Non-Committal: Rent the Runway
Rent the Runway, dubbed "the Netflix of online fashion," allows you to rent your dream designer dress for that one special night—and then return it, no questions asked. (Well, if you're like me and are bound to spill a little champagne, they might ask some questions.) Users upload pictures of themselves wearing their rented looks out, and besides being extremely refreshing to see normal people wearing killer clothes, the feature helps you to get a better idea of how these fantastic dresses will look IRL.
Best All-Around Shopping Destination: ASOS
With shipping costs, deceptive models who make everything look so effortlessly cool that you forget what trying on clothes in-store can be like, and the ease of purchasing something with a simple click, shopping online can be a bit daunting. But tFS writers and online shoppers in-the-know just can't stop gushing about ASOS. The UK-based fashion emporium carries over 40,000 styles of hard-to-find and in-house brands. They have constant jaw-dropping sales and each piece comes with a quick runway video to show you how it moves from every angle. Best of all, ASOS takes the risk out of buying something like swimwear on the internet with its free, lickety-split shipping and returns, making online shopping palatable for even the pickiest of customers.

According to a January 20, 2014 story in Space News, a team participating in the Google Lunar X Prize operating out of Pennsylvania State University called the Lunar Lion team is seeking more money via the crowdfunding site Rockethub to finance its private mission to the moon.
"The Lunar Lion Team has raised approximately $2.5 million of the $60 million the team estimates it will take to meet the requirements of the Google Lunar X Prize, which promises $20 million to the first team that succeeds by the end of 2015 in landing a robotic vehicle on the Moon, traveling 500 meters over the lunar surface and transmitting high-definition video to Earth.
"The Lunar Lion Team plans to meet that 500-meter requirement by landing its spacecraft on the Moon and then taking off and flying over the surface."
The just over $406,000 the team is seeking to raise would pay for a prototype vehicle that would demonstrate its capabilities, which include takeoff and landing. The team has an aggressive schedule to get a working vehicle ready for a launch before the December 31, 2015 deadline. The trick to doing so would be to not only find funding for the lunar lander but to pay for a launch, likely as a secondary payload on a commercial launch. Thus far three teams out of the 18 participating, including the Lunar Lion team, have firm plans to launch by the deadline.

Four Case Western Reserve University students – three of them wrestlers at the school – who were killed in a plane crash late Monday night outside Cleveland came from diverse backgrounds, yet shared many positive attributes and seemingly bright futures, according to various media reports Wednesday.
The three wrestlers were identified as 20-year-old Lucas Marcelli of Massillon, Ohio, 18-year-old Abraham Pishevar of Rockville, Md., and 18-year-old John Hill of St. Simons, Ga. The 19-year-old pilot, William Felten of Saginaw, Mich. also was killed. The four had rented the Cessna 172R for a nighttime sightseeing trip over Cleveland after their first day of classes at Case Western, but the plane crashed not long after takeoff, about 50 yards from the Cuyahoga County Airport east of the city.
CWRU wrestling coach Mark Hawald lauded the wrestlers during a Tuesday news conference held on campus.
"They were all great kids," Hawald said. "We are mourning and trying to figure out how we can move on after losing three of our brothers."
Lucas Marcelli
Marcelli, a wrestler at Jackson High School, was a two-time Ohio state tournament qualifier. He also was an Academic All-Ohioan while with the Polar Bears.
Marcelli was about to start his second year at Case Western. Last year as a freshman, Marcelli wrestled at 149 pounds for the Spartans, Marcelli posted the team's best win total with 30 wins, and was twice named University Athletic Association (UAA) Wrestler of the Week. Marcelli also earned Scholar All-America honors from the National Wrestling Coaches Association, having maintained a 3.5 GPA, studying biochemistry and pre-medicine, dreaming of becoming an orthopedic surgeon.
Marcelli's high school paid tribute to the 2013 graduate with a moment of silence Tuesday.
"Lucas was a tremendous student-athlete," District Superintendent Chris DiLoreto told the "Canton Repository". "He had an exceptional work ethic. He was a role model for all students. He's the type of student that all students would emulate. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and his friends."
"He was just fun to be around," said his father Bryan Macelli, who is an assistant wrestling coach at Jackson High School. "He was responsible. He was a mature kid. He will be missed — a lot."
Abraham Pishevar
Pishevar had just left his suburban Washington, D.C. home last week to start his college career as a freshman at Case Western, where he planned to major in engineering and wrestle for the Spartans.
"He was impossible not to like," Mike Kubik, Pishevar's wrestling coach at Georgetown Preparatory School, told the "Washington Post" Tuesday. "He was on his way to being a spectacular human being."
"He was beautiful to watch," Kubik added. "Just by dint of hard work, he made a very large contribution."
A two-sport star at Georgetown Prep, Pishevar blew out his knee playing football last season, but quickly rebounded by focusing on getting ready for wrestling season. "He always seemed to be in a good mood," said his classmate, Michael Sprague.
"He had the kindest, most gentle heart you could imagine," said his father, A.P. Pishevar. "My heart is shattered."
John Hill
Although listed as being from St. Simons Island in Georgia, John Brewster Hill most recently made his mark at The Hill School, a boarding school in Pottstown, Pa., where he spent three years on the wrestling team and as a leader in other campus activities.
"He was a guy who came in here with a little experience'' having spent a year on the wrestling team at Glynn Academy in Brunswick, Ga.,, Mark Pearson, his coach and faculty advisor at The Hill School, told the "Florida Times-Union".
Pearson, who wrestled for the University of Michigan, told the Jacksonville paper that Hill made impressive progress. In his first year at The Hill School, Hill may have won six matches all year and lost as many as 15, but, according to Pearson, he put in a lot of work and in his junior year reversed his record. By his senior year, Hill won at least 35 matches, placed sixth in the Pennsylvania prep school rankings for independent schools and qualified for the national tournament where he finished eighth, Pearson said.
"He was a kid who kept getting better and growing in all aspects of his life,'' Pearson said, pointing out that Hill was a resident dorm advisor as a senior.
"He was a great counselor for the younger kids and his peers. I was impressed at the way he became a young man here. People respected what he did here. Everyone here is so sad,'' Pearson said.
William Felten
Although not a member of the Case Western wrestling team, Felten had links to the others. The Michigan sophomore who was piloting the plane was a member of the of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, along with Lucas Marcelli. All four students lived on campus.
A 2013 graduate of Valley Lutheran High School in Saginaw County, Felton was just two weeks away from his 20th birthday. Felton was in his second year in the pre-med program at Case Western, majoring in economics and biochemistry. He was a member of the Saginaw Wesleyan Church.
According to the "Saginaw Times", Felten was passionate about flying and was a member of a Cleveland flying club. He had earned his pilot's license in August 2013. In addition, he had his diving certificate. He was musically talented, able to play the bassoon and violin, and run his own DJ business. Felten was passionate about sports, especially all Chicago teams.
Visitation for Felten will be held Friday, August 29 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Central at the W.L. Case and Company Funeral Chapel, 4480 Mackinaw in Saginaw. There will also be visitation one hour before the memorial service Saturday at 11 a.m. at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 808 Weiss in Saginaw.

I set up a new virtual directory in IIS under the Default FTP Site. I already have other virtual directories, and I'm able to access them with my user account, which is a domain admin. I created an account named FTPuser, gave it full permissions to the virtual directory, but I can't open the site. When I log in, I get a Success Audit event in Event Viewer, so my account is being authenticated. But the site doesn't appear, I just get the login box again.
I ran Process Monitor and saw different behavior between the two login scenarios. When I login to the same FTP site with my admin account, I get a SUCCESS result in Procmon when trying to access the folder that is specified as the home directory for my Default Web Site. But I get an ACCESS DENIED message when trying to connect as the FTPuser. Above that in the log, it also shows a NO SUCH DEVICE error trying to connect to the IPC$ share on that drive (the one containing the home directory).
When I look at the permissions, both accounts seem to have Full Control on the relevant directories. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what is going on here?

In embracing motherhood, Megan Fox has had to let go of her germaphobe ways. The mother of two has opened up about how having 22-month-old Noah and 6-month-old Bodhi to care for has truly changed her world — and that new scent she's rocking.
"I was holding Bodhi, and Noah was running around. I was trying to manage both of them because my husband [Brian Austin Green] wasn't feeling well," the actress recently recalled to The Stir. "My sister was with me, and we were talking. We were having some sort of theological discussion and Bodhi peed through his diaper and onto me."
"I was so exhausted that I didn't even bother looking for a wipe to clean me up. I just checked his clothes to make sure they weren't wet and they weren't. I was soaking wet, but I just let it air-dry. That's how you know you have so many children that you just — I was too tired to be bothered with cleaning up my clothes or even my hands. I was just like eh, f–k it."
Megan Fox continued, "That's sort of one of those moments when you realize how much your life has changed — especially for me because, once upon a time, I was a germaphobe! The idea of that would have like sent me hiding under the covers. Now I just embrace it and wear it, and it is what it is."
I have so been there, and done that.
The thing is, when you're in your pre-parenthood years, the idea of having pee on you is as disgusting as it ought to be, but once you're in the trenches you realize baby pee is a different classification from other pee. Am I right?
I won't argue that it's not still a little gross, but somehow, in parent's exhausted mind, there becomes a distinction that it's not as bad. Hopefully it's not just me who thought that, because that's be a little embarrassing, but at the very least I know Megan Fox gets it.
Time to confess: Have you worn baby pee too?

4.7" officially fell at Philly International....er, I mean, National Park(Gloucester County, NJ). This broke the old record of 3.5" set back in 1892(probably measured somewhere NOT at the airport anyway...so why even have a record snowfall date that far back?).
There was 0.23" of moisture so that means we had over a 15:1 snow ratio as the temperature was in the 20s during the event and we only reached 31 just before 4pm. To check out the entire compiled list of snowfall totals throughout the region(from NWS Mt. Holly) you can click here: http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=PNSPHI&e=201403172102
Well, at least Spring officially begins at 12:57 EDT on Thursday, but until then we stay below average with highs failing to reach the average of 53. Overnight will have a partly cloudy sky with lows in the lower 20s so anything that was wet during the day shall freeze.
Tuesday will be sunny, but unseasonably cold with highs in the lower 40s thanks to a north-northeast wind. We'll get closer to average come Wednesday with highs around 50, but we'll cloud up in the afternoon ahead of a cold front that will provide rain overnight into Thursday.
Shockingly behind the front on Thursday highs will be in the middle 50s with plenty of sunshine and then flirting with 60 come Friday despite a short wave pushing southward with clouds in the afternoon(and maybe a spot shower).

Court Documents: Woman Drives Drunk To Police Station, With Daughter In Car
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on April 30, 2013 @ 11:41AM
Created on April 29, 2013 @ 6:52PM
A Monongalia County woman has learned a tough lesson you don't drive drunk, especially when you have your eight year old daughter in the car. That's what Donna Campbell is accused of doing.
The 30-year-old was arrested Monday morning.
Officers first stopped Campbell on Mod's Run Road in Marion County. That's where she apparently told them she needed to drive to the police station to call someone. When she got there, officers could apparently smell alcohol on her breath.
According to the criminal complaint, Campbell failed a sobriety test. Police also noticed her daughter in the back of the car.
Campbell's in the North Central Regional Jail.

Can Alternative Energy Save the Economy and the Climate?
By Douglas Fischer in Scientific American, November 13 2009
BRIGHTON, Colo. - The low-carbon economy has already arrived on the windy prairie north of this fast-growing Denver 'burb. It's here that Danish wind-turbine giant Vestas converted 298 acres of hayfield into the West's largest turbine factory - and turned Brighton into a magnet for "green" energy companies.
It's part of a $1 billion investment by the company in the United States, what Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter touts as a "new energy economy."
"We have a caseload of 56 prospects. Of those, a majority are energy-related industries," said Raymond Gonzales, president of the Brighton Economic Development Corporation. "People are looking. They're not slowing down. And they're aggressively looking at the United States."
Some say these efforts - not the upcoming Copenhagen climate treaty talks - provide the most promising route to energy independence, climate change mitigation and job creation.
Regardless of whether delegates emerge next month with a comprehensive replacement for the Kyoto Protocol, industry's full-throttle acceleration toward a low-carbon future will continue, they say.

EstheticianLove it and as far as the lash guards go use vaseoline under the guards. Works great, they might not fit perfect under the eye but the vaseoline prevents it from staining and the guard sticks well.Mar 15, 2012Laurie

Covers Light Or Gray BrowsI have used this for about 10 years. As it can be dark, I dilute (per directions) with distilled water. Using an eyelash brush to apply keeps it off the skin and makes the application neater. I also put a very thin layer of petroleum jelly on the skin around my brows to avoid staining. It covers light or gray brows very well and lasts several weeks. Haven't found a better product, or one easier to use.Jan 28, 2012Jane

Long Lastingi bought this item at sallys, which cost the same as folica is selling it for (sallys might even be a little more $). I first used it on my eyelashes and it was very hard to do this alone, my advice would be to have a friend help you. The lash guards that are supposed to protect your undereyes from the dye do not work well, I even tried cutting them for a custom fit, but they don't stay on...again it would be better to have an extra person to apply the eyelash dye for you instead of doing it yourself. The color was nice, I used the brown and have natural blonde hair, so the brown color still looked natural. I then used it on my eyebrows and the color looked a lot darker, I would recommend to NOT leave the solution on for more than 1 min until you can see what the results are going to be. My eyelashes stayed tinted for weeks and so far my eyebrows have toned down and I really like the fuller look of both my lashes and brows. you get about 40 applications in the box, so the price is worth it...less than $1 per dye.Apr 17, 2011Casi A. / HoustonHAIR TYPEBlonde

I'm wondering if it is possible to extract some files out of the SystemImageBackup without restoring the whole backup?
Is that the same as this? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Restore-files-from-a-backup
^ That was not correct for extracting a full disk image
If that was not correct, or if it is going to be a big pain, I know what I would do, and that is make a Real image using a real backup like Acronis which you can get for free if you have a Western digital drive anywhere seen by your system. you can get WD acronis.
Backup with a real imager an image of the system partition, then recover the MS image, extract all the things you need , and then put the system back with the real imaging program. Then toss MS and start using the 3rd party stuff that works.
You can restore individual files from a win7 image.
I don't see a way to comment, but I just restored some files form my win7 backup image. I make images as a backup and lost a laptop due to disk problems. Just this week I restored some files from that backup by attaching the VHD (deep down in the backup folders, I had two one for my hidden restore volume (cannot be used) and one big one, the windows install). The big VHD needs to be opened without the readonly checkbox checked (when checked it opens as raw volume, not usable). And I had difficulties to open/attach it over the network (1GB home network), so I copied it to an esata drive, where it worked just fine. Could open it, and it was usable just as any other external drive. I even opened this VHD (made on 64b win7 ultimate) with a win7 prof.
If you have a win7 backup image laying around, try to open it this way (diskmanager, attach vhd, NOT readonly).

A mountain lion attack at a golf course in Palm Springs, Calif. resulted in the manager being the intended target. News Max reported April 10 that the incident happened on March 28 at O'Donnell Golf Club. Sal Corona, 36, was shutting the front gate at night when he heard something rustling in the bushes.
The mountain lion attempted to jump on the golf course manager, but nothing else happened. Had Corona not seen the large cat, he might have been mauled by the wild animal.
What stopped the potential attack?
According to the report, Corona blocked himself from the mountain lion attack by blocking himself from a portion of the gate. He also raised his arms and made "big cat noises."
"The [mountain lion] stopped on a dime," Corona said. "I made eye contact with him."
The cat backed off and turned around...running back to the hills. Corona called the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to report the sighting and aggressive behavior. Wildlife biologist, Kevin Brennan, said it's "rare that lions act aggressively toward people. Lions are opportunistic predators. It doesn't necessarily mean they're hungry or starving [when they go after a human]."
It was a close call having a mountain lion attack on the California golf course. Thankfully, Corona knew what to do and showed the large cat he had no fear of the situation. When animals see humans stand up to them, it generally makes them back down.

Flatwood monster
From Monstropedia
The Flatwoods Monster, also known as the Braxton County Monster or the Phantom of Flatwoods, is an alleged unidentified extraterrestrial or cryptid reported during an incident in the town of Flatwoods in Braxton County, West Virginia, USA on September 12, 1952.
There are two entities associated with the Flatwoods Monster.
At 7:15 PM on the evening of September 12, 1952, two brothers, Edward and Fred May, and their friend Tommy Hyer (ages 13, 12, and 10) witnessed a bright object cross the sky. The object appeared to come to rest on land belonging to local farmer G. Bailey Fisher.
Upon witnessing the object, the boys went to the home of the May brothers' mother, Kathleen May, where they reported seeing a UFO crash land in the hills. From there, Mrs. May accompanied by the three boys, local children Neil Nunley (14) and Ronnie Shaver (10), and 17 year old West Virginia National Guardsman Eugene 'Gene' Lemon, traveled to the Fisher farm in an effort to locate whatever it was that the boys had seen.
Lemon's dog ran ahead out of sight and suddenly began barking, and moments later ran back to the group with its tail between its legs. After traveling about ¼ of a mile the group reached the top of a hill, where they reportedly saw a large pulsating "ball of fire" about 50 feet to their right. They also detected a pungent mist that made their eyes and nose burn. Lemon then noticed two small lights over to the left of the object; underneath a nearby oak tree, and directed his flashlight towards them, revealing the creature, which is reported to have emitted a shrill hissing noise and to have begun to glide towards them before changing direction and heading off towards the red light. At this point the group fled in panic.
Upon returning home Mrs. May contacted local Sheriff Robert Carr, and Mr. A. Lee Stewert; co-owner of the Braxton Democrat, a local newspaper. Stewert conducted a number of interviews and returned to the site with Lemon later that night where he reported that "there was a sickening, burnt, metallic odor still prevailing". Sheriff Carr and his deputy Burnell Long searched the area separately, but reported finding no trace of the encounter.
Early the next morning; on Saturday September 13, Mr. A Lee Stewart visited the site of the encounter for a second time and discovered two elongated tracks in the mud, as well as traces of a thick black liquid. He immediately reported them as being possible signs of a saucer landing based on the premise that the area had not been subjected to vehicle traffic for at least a year. It would later be revealed that the tracks most likely belonged to a 1942 Chevrolet pickup truck driven by local Max Lockard; who had gone to the site to look for the creature some hours prior to Stewert's discovery.
After the event, Mr. William and Donna Smith; investigators associated with Civilian Saucer Investigation, LA, obtained a number of accounts from witnesses who claimed to have experienced a similar or related phenomena. These accounts included the story of a mother and her 21 year-old-daughter, who claimed to have encountered a creature with the same appearance and odor a week prior to the September 12 incident; the encounter reportedly affected the daughter so badly that she was confined to Clarksburg Hospital for three weeks. A statement from the mother of Eugene Lemon, in which she said that, at the approximate time of the crash, her house had been violently shaken and her radio had cut out for 45 minutes, and a report from the director of the local Board of Education in which he claimed to have seen a flying saucer taking off at 6:30 on the morning of September 13 (the morning after the creature was sighted).
After encountering the creature, several members of the September 12 group reported being overcome with similar symptoms which persisted for some time, which they attributed to having been exposed to the mist emitted by the creature. The symptoms included irritation of the nose and swelling of the throat. Lemon was reportedly the worst affected. He suffered from vomiting and convulsions throughout the night, and had difficulties with his throat for several weeks afterwards.
A doctor who treated several of the witnesses is reported to have described their symptoms as being similar to victims of mustard gas, though such symptoms are also commonly found in sufferers of hysteria, which can be brought on by exposure to a traumatic or shocking event.
Theories about origin and existence
After examining the case, Joe Nickell of the paranormal investigation group CSICOP concluded that the bright light in the sky reported by the witnesses on September 12 was most likely a meteor, that the pulsating red light was likely an aircraft navigation/hazard beacon, and that the creature described by witnesses closely resembled an owl. The latter two of which were distorted by the heightened state of anxiety felt by the witnesses after having observed the former. Nickell's conclusions are shared by a number of other investigators, including those of the Air Force. The Mothman has also been explained by this.
The night of the September 12 sighting, a meteor had been observed across three states, Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and had been mistakenly reported as flaming aircraft crashing into the side of a hill at Elk River; approximately 11 miles southwest of the location of the Flatwoods sighting. Three flashing red aircraft beacons were also visible from the area of the sightings, possibly accounting for the pulsating red light seen by the witnesses, and for the red tint on the face of the creature.
The shape, movement, and sounds reported by witnesses was also consistent with the silhouette, flight pattern, and call of a startled barn owl perched on a tree limb; leading researchers to conclude that foliage beneath the owl may have created the illusion of the lower portions of the creature (described as being a pleated green skirt). Researchers also concluded that the witnesses' inability to agree on whether the creature had arms, combined with Kathleen May's report of it having "small, claw-like hands" which "extended in front of it" also matched the description of a barn owl with its talons gripping a tree branch. However, some have asked that if it was an owl then why did the witnesses not see it as such, even after shining a searchlight right at it. Many investigators have countered that this and the creature's supposed 'gliding' can be ascribed to hysteria and the heightened state of tension amongst the witnesses causing them to be panicky and irrational.
Alternative explanations included those put forward by the local media; that the September 12 group had witnessed the impact of a meteor which resulted in a man-shaped cloud of vapor, and those of Kathleen May and her sons (recorded some time after the incident); that they had seen some kind of covert government aircraft.

Rated 1 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Slinky Not a good choice :( The candy canes were damaged during shipping and arrived crushed. We altered some other candy canes to use instead but the item would not stand on its own. The gingerbread was too heavy and the carousel collapsed repeatedly. My daughter was a bit disappointed, but had fun with the reindeer cookies and icing. January 7, 2015

So I'm thinking about yesterday. I'm reflecting on how I did. I am following my bestlife food plan again. I really love the focus on vegetables and fruits. The Lentil Barley stew I ate for lunch had small chunks of sweet potatoes in it (Vitamin A). It snowed heavily most of the day and I knew I had to drive into town last evening to teach a yoga class.
I prepared dinner early in the afternoon, slicing up 3 zucchini, lemon zest, minced garlic and artichoke hearts to be served over a small portion of angel hair pasta for when I arrived home after class. I did snack on the zucchini while cooking...
I left early because I wanted to try taking a spinning class that I had never attended before. I wanted to get some cardio in, so I called ahead and reserved my spot, braved the roads. I thought that by going in for the spin class, I would rest assured that I would be there to teach my yoga class afterward. It was 45 minutes of spinning on a bike that I was not accustomed to and it felt good to work up a sweat after taking Sunday as a rest day.
Changed into dry clothes and taught a yoga class, worked on shoulders, Virabhadrasana I (Warrior) and Virabhadrasana III. And I told them about the painting that my son and daughter-in-law gifted me for my birthday of an elephant in Virabhadrasana (Warrior III). The artist, Indira Govindan noted in the abstract that "...like all modern mothers, ...super busy juggling multiple roles on a daily basis. And, setting aside some personal time for yoga and meditation practice is a big challenge. Luckily for her, her young ones like to hang out with her..." There is a baby elephant being held in the crook of her trunk as she leans forward, a balanced "warrior."
Included ardha chandrasana (half-moon) in last night's class as well to strengthen the lower legs and open the hips and chest, alignment of spine. (And I note from this wee calendar here by my computer, that the moon was in the first quarter phase on Sunday, the 1st.
I only drank half of the water I needed to and I did reach for 2 flaxseed morning glory muffins as evening snacks. I don't know exactly what kind of hunger prompted it. I enjoyed their texture and the flavor of the fresh pears in the muffin. It might have been for comfort more than hunger. It would have been better to just allow the small portion of angel hair pasta and zucchini/artichoke dinner settle in before reaching for the muffins. I'll try and have a better day today, I want to stick with my plan for weight loss and optimum wellness.

Global Delight (http://www.globaldelight.com/) recently revved Voila — its image capturing, annotating and sharing tool for Mac OS X — to version 3.7.1, which improves Retina display capturing and makes a fine tool even more useful.
Voila boasts the ability to capture a region from the screen in rectangular, circular, polygonal or free hand form. The software offers full screen capture, timed capture or menu capture. In addition, Voila is integrated with a blend of annotating tools like texts, arrows, callouts, sprays, stamps and more. You can share your work via email or iPhoto. The software supports web page and webcam captures, an organizer for image management and additional annotations like blur and flip.
Voila can also capture menus, objects, fullscreen or timed captures; you can capture these shapes simultaneously. What's more, you can rotate, resize, switch between captures or undo a selection before capturing.
Let's say you want to capture a web page. Type in the ULR of the page into Voila's built-in browser, and you can snap the current Safari page with a click. Or you can import the web address to snap without leaving your browser. You can browse any web page using the built-in browser and capture the DOM elements. Voila allows you to select more than one DOM element at a time within a web page and snap all of them simultaneously. (DOM, or Document Object Model, is a cross-platform, language-independent convention for representing and interacting with objects in XHML, XHTML and XML documents.)
Voila lets you add metadata to your snaps. You can add titles, relevant tags and describe the information for each of the snaps.
One the most appealing things about Voila is that you can capture multiple screenshots at once. You select different portions of the screen, then adjust, rotate or undo a selection. And - voila! (pun intended) - you can snap simultaneously.
The software sports global keyboard shortcuts to capture full screens, area, windows, web pages, menus and selection captures. You change the keyboard shortcuts in the Voila preferences to meet you needs.
Voila saves all your snaps in a central image library and helps you retrieve your creative works at a later date. If you want to group similar snaps, you can create custom collections and drag images into them.
Voila runs on Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later. It costs US$29.99; a demo is available for download.

Liquid oxygen, as normally supplied, is of 99.5 percent purity and is covered in the United States by Military Specification MIL-P-25508. High purity liquid oxygen has a light blue colour and is transparent. It has no characteristic odour. Liquid oxygen does not burn, but will support combustion vigorously. The liquid is stable; however, mixtures of fuel and liquid oxygen are shock-sensitive. Gaseous oxygen can form mixtures with fuel vapours that can be exploded by static electricity, electric spark, or flame. Liquid oxygen is obtained from air by fractional distillation. The 1959 United. States production of high-purity oxygen was estimated at nearly 2 million tonnes. The cost of liquid oxygen, at that time, ex-works, was $ 0.04 per kg. By the 1980's NASA was paying $ 0.08 per kg.
