Deadlines are like rainy days. They show up everyone once in a while and nobody likes them. Deadlines make people sweat, make them nervous, and make them shake in their boots, but they also give people order. Deadlines are those unpleasant reminders that you must have this task done by this time or else.
Almost everyone can relate to deadlines, except for children. Think back to those days when the only thing thought of was recess and getting a swing to swing on. Deadlines were not expected to be met at such a young age. As age started crawling along so did responsibilities and deadlines. Parents started setting times when you should be in bed by. Teachers gave assignments and expected them back on a certain day. Things have changed since then. Life has become more demanding and more stressful than the past. The number of deadlines has multiplied and so have the duties. It is a wake up call from the working world teaching us how to deal with many situations. Deadlines can make or break people. For some, they need that reminder when something needs to be done. For other people, they don�t care for deadlines and would rather have a wide-open time frame. These people are procrastinators that usually lay back and wait until the last second to get something done. To procrastinators like myself, the word deadline is like a pesky fly. We let it fly around us until we finally think that something needs to be done about it. They make your eyes roll in the back of your head making you say to yourself, �Oh! Not again!� Deadlines are seen as hurdles too high to jump over, obstacles that weigh us down. Granted we usually do make a deadline, but we just wait until the last possible second to get the job done. If procrastinators could only say, �Abra-Cadabra!� and deadlines would just disappear. Right now in this busy school year, I am seeing deadlines come at me from the left and right. I have deadlines for essays, homework, scholarships, college applications, and now I can add to the list, newspaper articles. Life is demanding on a day-to-day basis. People are always faced with deadlines, but not all people can tolerate them. As a student, I can be stressed at times with the deadlines piling up before my eyes. After I finish one, another one follows. I salute the people who work in the media field. On the television or the newspaper, people who share the news have deadlines almost everyday. They have by far the most demanding job of anyone. The news never stops and so the stress and deadlines never stop. The news and deadlines work together hand in hand. I have to face deadlines now, and I know that down the road I will run into more deadlines waiting for me. I have a good idea that deadlines will start to come like how the snow falls. First little flakes, then piles and piles. I can only hope that I will have my shovel and my patience ready when those deadlines come. Kyle Anderson is a student at Kingsland High School. The Journal Writing Project focuses on the writing of area young people.

Learning Goal for Biology: Ecology
National Science Education Standard for EcologyTHE INTERDEPENDENCE OF ORGANISMS
- The atoms and molecules on the earth cycle among the living and nonliving components of the biosphere.
- Energy flows through ecosystems in one direction, from photosynthetic organisms to herbivores to carnivores and decomposers.
- Organisms both cooperate and compete in ecosystems. The interrelationships and interdependencies of these organisms may generate ecosystems that are stable for hundreds or thousands of years.
- Living organisms have the capacity to produce populations of infinite size, but environments and resources are finite. This fundamental tension has profound effects on the interactions between organisms.
- Human beings live within the world's ecosystems. Increasingly, humans modify ecosystems as a result of population growth, technology, and consumption. Human destruction of habitats through direct harvesting, pollution, atmospheric changes, and other factors is threatening current global stability, and if not addressed, ecosystems will be irreversibly affected.
Michigan Ecology Standard Relating to the Interdependence of Living Systems and the EnvironmentSTANDARD B3: "Students describe the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration and how energy is transferred through food webs. They recognize and analyze the consequences of the dependence of organisms on environmental resources and the interdependence of organisms in ecosystems" (Michigan Biology Content Standards p. 17).
Content, Identifying and Using PerformancesB3.1 Photosynthesis and Respiration
Organisms acquire their energy directly or indirectly from sunlight. Plants capture the Sun's energy and use it to convert carbon dioxide and water to sugar and oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Through the process of cellular respiration, animals are able to release the energy stored in the molecules produced by plants and use it for cellular processes, producing carbon dioxide and water.
Performance Expectations:
B3.1A Describe how organisms acquire energy directly or indirectly from sunlight.
B3.1B Illustrate and describe the energy conversions that occur during photosynthesis and respiration.
B3.1C Recognize the equations for photosynthesis and respiration and identify the reactants and products for both.
B3.1D Explain how living organisms gain and use mass through the processes of photosynthesis and respiration.
B3.1E Write the chemical equation for photosynthesis and cellular respiration and explain in words what they mean.
B3.1FSummarize the process of photosynthesis.
B3.2 Ecosystems
The chemical elements that make up the molecules of living things pass through food webs and are combined and recombined in different ways. At each link in an ecosystem, some energy is stored in newly made structures, but much is dissipated into the environment as heat. Continual input of energy from sunlight keeps the process going.
Peformance Expectations:
B3.2A Identify how energy is stored in an ecosystem.
B3.2B Describe energy transfer through an ecosystem, accounting for energy lost to the environment as heat.
B3.2C Draw the flow of energy through an ecosystem. Predict changes in the food web when one or more organisms are removed.
B3.3 Element Recombination
As matter cycles and energy flows through different levels of organization of living systems—cells, organs, organisms, and communities—and between living systems and the physical environment, chemical elements are recombined in different ways. Each recombination results in storage and dissipation of energy into the environment as heat. Matter and energy are conserved in each change.
Peformance Expectations:
B3.3A Use a food web to identify and distinguish producers, consumers, and decomposers and explain the transfer of energy through trophic levels.
B3.3B Describe environmental processes (e.g., the carbon and nitrogen cycles) and their role in processing matter crucial for sustaining life.
B3.4 Changes in Ecosystems
Although the interrelationships and interdependence of organisms may generate biological communities in ecosystems that are stable for hundreds or thousands of years, ecosystems always change when climate changes or when one or more new species appear as a result of migration or local evolution. The impact of the human species has major consequences for other species.
Peformance Expectations:
B3.4A Describe ecosystem stability. Understand that if a disaster such as flood or fire occurs, the damaged ecosystem is likely to recover in stages of succession that eventually result in a system similar to the original one.
B3.4B Recognize and describe that a great diversity of species increases the chance that at least some living organisms will survive in the face of cataclysmic changes in the environment.
B3.4C Examine the negative impact of human activities.
B3.4x Human Impact
Humans can have tremendous impact on the environment. Sometimes their impact is beneficial, and sometimes it is detrimental.
B3.4d Describe the greenhouse effect and list possible causes.
B3.4e List the possible causes and consequences of global warming.
B3.5 Populations
Populations of living things increase and decrease in size as they interact with other populations and with the environment. The rate of change is dependent upon relative birth and death rates.
Performance Expectations:
B3.5A Graph changes in population growth, given a data table.
B3.5B Explain the influences that affect population growth.
B3.5C Predict the consequences of an invading organism on the survival of other organisms.
B3.5x Environmental Factors
The shape of population growth curves vary with the type of organism and environmental conditions, such as availability of nutrients and space. As the population increases and resources become more scarce, the population usually stabilizes at the carrying capacity of that environment.
B3.5d Describe different reproductive strategies employed by various organisms and explain their advantages and disadvantages.
B3.5e Recognize that and describe how the physical or chemical environment may influence the rate, extent, and nature of population dynamics within ecosystems.
B3.5f Graph an example of exponential growth. Then show the population leveling off at the carrying capacity of the environment.
B3.5g Diagram and describe the stages of the life cycle for a human disease-causing organism. (recommended)
Unpacking these statements:
Students need to understand that organisms do not exist in isolation. Biological organisms interact with each other and their environment in complex ways. Most of these interactions involve the exchange of energy and matter. It is also possible for organisms to provide shelter for each other. In addition, it is important for students to understand that energy from the sun is initially stored in glucose by plants through the process of photoysynthesis. The energy in glucose is used by organisms through the process of cellular respiration. Energy is transferred between organisms in food webs when one organism consumes or parasitizes another organism. It is important for students to understand how organisms depend on environmental resources, such as nitrogen, and how limitations on these resources affect organisms. Finally, it is important for students to understand how organisms depend on each other and how changes in the population of one organism affect other populations of organisms.
What do these statements mean about learning Ecology:
Students should be able to:
*Explain how energy from the sun is captured by plants and stored in sugar molecules. The energy in sugar molecules can be transferred to other long term storage molecules, such as sugar, fat, starch, and protein molecules.
*Draw a food chain, using arrows to indicate the flow of energy between organisms, and explain how energy is transferred from one organism to another. Specifically, be able to explain how when one organism eats or parasitizes another organism it acquires the other organism's sugar, fat, starch, and protein molecules, which store energy. It uses the energy stored in these molecules by the proccess of metabolism and cellular respiration.
*Given a food chain, identify where energy is lost to the environment as heat, and explain what accounts for the loss of energy. Specifically, explain how each organism in the food chain uses some of the energy it consumes in its own life processes, which is given off as heat, and that only 10% of the energy that an organism consumes is stored in it's body when it dies. As a result, only 10% of the energy in the food chain is transferred at each step in the food chain. Explain how the food chain is sustained, despite the loss of energy, by the continual input of energy from the sun.
*Given a food chain, explain the consequences to the food chain when one of the organisms is removed. They should be able to explain the consequences to the direct and indirect consumers. They should understand that the loss of an organism has far reaching consequences in a food chain.
*Given a food chain, explain the consequences to the food chain when an organism is added. They should be able to explain the consequences to the direct and indirect consumers. They should uncerstand that the addition of an organism has far reaching consequence in a food chain.
*Understand that organisms acquire energy directly or indirectly through from sunlight. They will understand that autotrophs use the sun's energy to produce their own compounds, and that heterotrophs then must consume other organisms to produce their nutrients, and that this is an indirect way of obtaining energy from the sun.
*Understand that plants use light energy and convert it into chemical energy through the synthesis of carbohydrates. They will also understand that during cellular respiration that these carbohydrates are broken down, and this chemical energy is used to produce ATP.
*Recognize that during photosynthesis that six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules are used to create one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen gas. They will be able to recognize that the carbon dioxide and water molecules are the reactants in photosynthesis, and that the glucose and oxygen gas molecules are the products of photosynthesis.
*Recognize that during cellular respiration one molecule of glucose and six oxygen gas molecules, 38 molecules of ADP, and 38 Phosphorus molecules are converted into six molecules of carbon dioxide, six molecules of water, and 38 molecules of ATP. They must be able to recognize that glucose, and oxygen molecules are the reactants for cellular respiration, and that carbon dioxide, water and ATP are the products.
*Explain how plants are able to take carbon dioxide in the air, and through the part of photosynthesis know as the Calvin Cycle, convert that carbon dioxide into carbohydrates, thus gaining mass through the process of photosynthesis. They must also understand that organisms then use this mass through the process of cellular respiration in order to make energy for cell function.
*Write out the chemical equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration, being able to explain in words what each part means. They should be able to note which products result in the generation of energy, and which products result in the generation of mass.
*Summarize that photosynthesis takes place in two parts, light dependent and light independent reactions. They should know that in the light dependent reactions chlorophyll molecules use energy from the sun to transfer energy to electrons which are then passed from the chlorophyll to an electron transport chain, which are a series of proteins imbedded in the membrane of the chloroplast. They should also know that as the electron is passed down the electron transport chain the electron loses energy, which is used to make ATP molecules, and the electron is eventually added to an electron carrying molecule NADP+, which makes NADPH. Also, they should know that to replace this electron in the chlorophyll a water molecule is split, producing electrons for the chlorophyll, and releasing oxygen molecules into the environment. Students should understand that in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin Cycle, carbon dioxide, ATP, and NADPH are used to synthesize glucose. Lastly, students should understand that the Calvin Cycle is circular, and that it takes six rounds of the Calvin Cycle to produce one molecule of glucose.
*Identify and distinguish producers, consumers, and decomposers and explain the transfer of energy through trophic levels in food webs they have created. They will understand that energy is recombined and dissipated as heat as one trophic level is consumed by another. They will understand however, that energy and matter are conserved, and that the energy lost to the organisms in higher trophic levels is not lost to the environment, it is simply in another form.
*Describe environmental processes (e.g., the carbon, nitrogen, water and phosphorus cycles) and their role in processing matter crucial for sustaining life.
- Describe ecosystem stability/fragility and understand that if a disaster such as flood or fire occurs, the damaged ecosystem is likely to recover in stages of succession that eventually result in a system similar to the original one. They will recognize that ecosystems are not 100% stable systems, but are subject to change through natural disasters and human influence.
*Recognize and describe that a great diversity of species increases the chance that at least some living organisms will survive in the face of cataclysmic changes in the environment. They will understand the positive aspects of biodiversity and be able to provide some examples where biodiversity is being lost, i.e. genetic modification in crops and invasive species issues.
*Understand how human activities are negatively impacting ecosystems, such as air, water, and land pollution, and habitat degradation. Also, they will understand human activities providing positive impacts on ecosystems, such as making habitat corridors, and species protection programs.
*Describe the greenhouse effect and list possible causes as well as consequences of global warming. They will be able to articulate how global warming can be addressed/curbed.
*Understand how they as individuals and as community members can be a positive, responsible influence on ecosystems and the environment.
*Describe different reproductive strategies and explain the advantages and disadvantages of each. Students will be able to compare and contrast the different reproductive strategies as they relate to various organisms and their life cycles.
*Describe how the chemical and physical environment may influence rate, extent, and nature of population dynamics within ecosystems. This includes abiotic factors and biotic factors. Some abiotic factors are intensity of light, range of temperatures, amount of moisture, type of substratum, availability of inorganic substances, supply of gases, and pH. Biotic factors involve all living things that directly or indirectly affect environment including: presence of organisms, their composition, their interactions, their wastes, and their nutritional and symbiotic relationships.
*Graph exponential growth of a population and how the graph behaves as the carrying capacity of the environment is reached. They will be able to define carrying capacity as the maximum number of organisms of a population that can be supported by the environment and its resources. They will understand that exponential growth is density-dependent population growth and the growth rate DECREASES and levels off as the population approaches carrying capacity.
*Predict the consequences of an invading organism on the survival of other organisms. They will understand that communities are composed of populations that are able to survive under existing conditions. They will understand the idea of niche, being able to differentiater between fundamental and realized niche. Students will specifically understand the effect of an exotic species on the realized niche(s) of native species.
What do students need to know to learn Ecology?
Michigan Biology Content Standards provides a list of prerequisites for Standard B3:
L3.p1 Populations, Communities, and Ecosystems (prerequisite)
Organisms of one species form a population. Populations of different organisms interact and form communities. Living communities and the nonliving factors that interact with them form ecosystems. (prerequisite)
L3.p1A Provide examples of a population, community, and ecosystem. (prerequisite)
L3.p2 Relationships Among Organisms (prerequisite)
Two types of organisms may interact with one another in several ways; they may be in a producer/consumer, predator/prey, or parasite/host relationship. Or one organism may scavenge or decompose another. Relationships may be competitive or mutually beneficial. Some species have become so adapted to each other that neither could survive without the other. (prerequisite)
L3.p2A Describe common relationships among organisms and provide examples of producer/consumer, predator/prey, or parasite/host relationship. (prerequisite)

L3.p2C Describe the role of decomposers in the transfer of energy in an ecosystem. (prerequisite)
L3.p2D Explain how two organisms can be mutually beneficial and how that can lead to interdependency. (prerequisite)
L3.p3 Factors Influencing Ecosystems (prerequisite)
The number of organisms and populations an ecosystem can support depends on the biotic resources available and abiotic factors, such as quantity of light and water, range of temperatures, and soil composition. (prerequisite)
L3.p3A Identify the factors in an ecosystem that influence fluctuations in population size. (prerequisite)
L3.p3B Distinguish between the living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) components of an ecosystem. (prerequisite)

All organisms cause changes in their environments. Some of these changes are detrimental, whereas others are beneficial. (prerequisite)
L3.p4A Recognize that, and describe how, human beings are part of Earth's ecosystems. Note that human activities can deliberately or inadvertently alter the equilibrium in ecosystems. (prerequisite)
(Michigan Biology Content Standards p. 17)
What preconceptions might students have?
Students might think:
- Animals get their energy from the outside environment, and plants get their energy from the soil by using their roots.
- Organsims at the top of the food chain eat all of the organisms below them in the food chain.
- Students believe there is a starting and ending point in the food chain.
- The top of the food chain has the most energy becuase it is the "top" of the food chain (i.e. energy accumulates up the food chain).
- The numbers of organisms at the top of the food chain are higher because they eat the organims lower in the food chain.
- There are more herbivores soley because people keep and breed them.
- Decomposers release some energy that is cycled back to plants.
- Diagrams of energy pyramids that indicate decreases in energy (without indicating that the energy is given off as heat) can reinforce students' misconception that energy is not conserved.
- The number of producers is high to satisfy consumers.
- Students believe energy can be recycled through an ecosystem many times.
- Plants do not live in water.
- Often students will only address the components of a food chain that they can see. This is often reinforced by teachers using those components that are observable in their particular local.
- Plants are dependent on humans, not vice versa.
- Carbon dioxide is a source of energy for plants.
- Energy is not lost in trophic transfer.
- Energy comes from fuel (like gasoline) which makes power. Students may not think of a plant or animal as a source of power/energy.
- Students may only think of energy in association with humans. (i.e. Energy is like bouncing around.)
- Students may get stuck in thinking about individual organisms that do not fit the food web pattern.
- Students may not see the overall flow of energy in an ecosystem.
- Students may visualize flow only in terms of water and not grasp the concept that it means something starts in one place and gradually moves to another (In our case, energy flows through the food web slowly).
- Varying the population of an organism will only affect the others that are directly connected through a food chain.
- Varying the population of an organism may not affect an ecosystem, because some organisms are not important.
- Varying the population of an organism will affect all other organisms to the same degree.
- Populations higher on a food web increase in number because they deplete those lower in the web.
- Ecosystems are not an organized whole, but a collection of organisms.
- Communities change little over time.
- Decomposers release some energy that is cycled back to plants.
- The number of producers is high to satisfy consumers.
- An organism cannot change trophic levels.
- Humans provide food for other organisms.
- The climax community is usually the final stage, long-lasting, and self-perpetuating.
- Succession involves separate stages leading ultimately to deterministic climax.
- Species coexist in an ecological system because of their compatible needs and behaviors: they "get along."
- The needs and roles of a species are general and typical of species.
- Green plants are only producers of carbohydrates in ecosystems.
- Plants take in food from the outside environment, and/or plants get their food from the soil via roots.
- Food webs are interpreted as simple food chains.
- The relative sizes of prey and predator populations have no bearing on the size of each other.
- In a food web, a change in one population will only affect another population if the two populations are directly related as predator and prey.
- Food chains involve predator and prey, no producers.
- Carnivores are big or ferocious. Herbivores are passive or smaller.
- Carnivores have more energy or power than herbivores do.
- Traits are developed by individuals in response to the needs of the individual.
- Traits develop because they are part of a predetermined plan.
- Traits are properties of populations.
- Traits are passed on by the bigger, stronger organisms that replace the smaller, weaker ones.
- Adaptation equals evolution.
- All factors are limiting except the most abundant one.
- The most limiting factor is the least abundant one.
- Populations exist in states of either constant growth or decline depending upon their position in a food chain.
- Some ecosystems are limitless resources and provide an opportunity for limitless growth of a population.
- Density-dependent factors are biotic, and density-idependent factors are abiotic.
- Populations increase until limits are reached, then they crash and go extinct.
- Plants are weak and cannot defend themselves.

ObsidianCraft's Present Days
Heyo, all you ObsidianCrafters!
I just wanted to let everyone know what's going on with our server!
Over the past months, we've tried to add things, change things, promise things, etc. Unfortunately, nothing has worked out in our favor, and that is largely the fault of negligence by myself and the staff team.
So, what are we going to do about it? ObsidianCraft currently has two fantastic servers - Survival and SkyBlock. We're forgetting all other plans, for now, and we're just going to stick to these two great servers!
We are going to focus on being a successful (even if small) survival server that is fun for everyone, and that supports our community the way it always has. I will personally dedicate daily time to the upkeep and improvement of these servers, and I know the current staff team will help me.
Now that you know what's going on, we'd like to welcome everyone to hop back on and give OC another look! Even if you've been away for years, chances are high that you were a part of the community that made this server great.
We'd love for you to hop online and see the ObsidianCraft of today! Offer suggestions, changes, anything you want. And most importantly, enjoy yourself.
This isn't my server, or the staff's. It's yours. And we want you to play on it and experience it in the best way possible: the way that you want to.
Also! The VirtualShop is newly improved and back on ObsidianCraft! And more updates to come :)

Ford Motor Company wants access to the sealed information that led a North Carolina bankruptcy judge to find that some plaintiffs lawyers have had a practice "to withhold evidence of exposure to other asbestos products and to delay filing claims against bankrupt defendants' asbestos trusts until after obtaining recoveries" from the defendant.
In a case of first impression, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge George R. Hodges of the Western District of North Carolina, overseeing a gasketmaker's insolvency proceeding, found that course of conduct included cases that resulted in a $9 million verdict in California and a $1.35 million verdict in Texas.
Ford has been named a defendant in asbestos cases where plaintiffs claim to have worked with or around brake paid containing chrysotile asbestos, according to court papers.
"Ford, like Garlock [Sealing Technologies LLC], resolved a number of those same asbestos claims and did so in reliance upon similar misrepresentations of asbestos exposures and asbestos trust claims," Ford said in its motion. "However, the evidence upon which the court found systematic misrepresentations remains under seal. The court's' continued seal is preventing Ford access to information it needs to adequately investigate the nature of potential funds."
The sealed testimony and exhibits relied upon the court in finding a widespread pattern of misrepresentation by asbestos claimants should be open to public access, Ford said.
"Any interest harbored by the asbestos claimants and their lawyers in 'avoiding embarrassment' or legal responsibility for their misdeeds plainly cannot trump that of the public in preventing abuse of the court system or of Ford in recovering monies fraudulently paid," Ford further argued.
In a separation motion, Legal Newsline has sought for a second time to unseal the trial testimony and exhibits on which the court based its Jan. 10, 2014, order. The first motion was denied and is on appeal to District Court for the Western District of North Carolina.
That appeal divests the bankruptcy court of subject-matter jurisdiction over Legal Newsline's second motion to get access to the sealed evidence, the official committee of asbestos personal injury claimants argued in court papers.
Garlock, under the judge's authorization, took discovery in 15 cases and demonstrated that evidence of the plaintiffs' exposure to other products was withheld in every one of those cases, according to the judge's opinion from January.
Garlock filed for bankruptcy in June 2010 after its insurance money ran out, and Garlock had negotiated settlements in over 99 percent of the 20,000 mesothelioma cases in which it was a defendant, the judge said.
Hodges wrote his opinion after he held a hearing to estimate Garlock's remaining liability for mesothelioma claims. The court concluded Garlock faces liability of $125 million, which was what the defendant estimated its liability to be. In contrast, plaintiffs lawyers estimated that Garlock's aggregate liability would be $1 billion to $1.3 billion.

Hey Mark Tucker checking in. What a 24-hour period we've had. Wow. Amazing night up there on Orizaba. Crazy weather, amazing light storm going on and little bit of hail. The team got up early and we put in our work, and we just had a fabulous climb. It was wonderful event that we all participated in and it's been go time ever since. Back down here all cleaned up and doing well at the Reyes Compound. We're just having so much fun; we don't want this trip to end. We're going to come away from this thing with some happy hearts and lots of experience. So we're just looking forward to getting back out there when we can. Thanks.

A nice rest day here in Puebla. Beautiful morning to wander around and get the pulse of this historic part of Mexico. We are still at about 7,000 ft, what an nice way to acclimatize. Great food all over here in old town. Add in a bit of sightseeing in some old cathedrals, some more shopping and let's not forget the siesta. We will be in great shape for our summit bid on Orizaba tomorrow night.

We are down in the beautiful city of Puebla today. The team and I had a great time on Ixta. What a sight to wake up to the neighbor mountain, Popo, venting a lot of steam from it's top on a crystal clear morning. No wonder it has been closed to climbing for years now. We spent part of the morning packing up so we would not have to return to the hut after skills training. Fun day getting to practice the nuts and bolts for the climb ahead on Orizaba- crampons, ice axe, and rope training were the featured program for the day. So fun to see the enthusiasm when you pull out and put on this type of hardware. The team did well adapting to some new toys and techniques. I feel that they all performed to a high enough standard that I would be willing to rope up with any one of them. It is a special bond up here in the mountains that can happen very quickly.

Never seen a mountain goat like that! During our hike today, off in the distance, on a ridge, it was not that animal. It got one of the camera crew to push uphill hard for a bit to get the awesome shot. We had settled for some other great footage in all kinds of tough weather conditions. We continue to go through loads of batteries and will probably get that Emmy in the end. The team continues to do well and with the help of some great local guys, are capturing these beautiful mountains to share with you all on the big screen. That's a wrap for today; lots more tomorrow.

We had a very nice morning at La Malinche. We were well fed and watered for the couple hour commute to Ixtaccihuatl, also known as "The Sleeping Woman" volcano. A stop on the way at the Italian coffeehouse.. in Mexico, then onto the rural town of Amecameca located at the base of the mountain. We picked up some fresh food and now just above 12,000 feet at the Altzomoni Hut. Lots of going over gear and more training till the wind and rain came in strong. A big dinner with my California-style guacamole that received a thumbs up from the local staff. Team still needs to catch up on some missed sleep so off to bed for us.

Early departure from one of the world's largest cities. Traffic not so bad as we made the three-hour drive to our first big mountain, La Malinche at 14,636 feet. A nice lunch was had near this peak that is surrounded by fields of corn and beautiful stands of pine trees. We made a quick turn of unloading our equipment in the digs for the night, which is a comfortable cabin with fireplace and even a hot shower. It was all uphill from there. Great to get out and hit the trail. The idea was to the top but getting used to the altitude and some new equipment was the priority. We made good time up the lower forested area and found the team on the summit ridge at the same time as a strong weather impulse hit the upper mountain. Hail, rain in the clouds, no visibility and wind a howling gave us great training with the kit that was pulled from our packs to keep us protected from the nasty weather. A number of our team hit new altitude records and a smooth descent has us fed and clean in the digs for the night. All is good wish u were here.

Hola from Mexico City!
The team and I did some last minute shopping today in town to support our adventure ahead. It's a perfect summer day at 7,200 ft, which is a good altitude to start at. It's not too busy here in the Zona Roza area. People are enjoying life all around.
We are going after three big hills on this trip and will be filming along the way. This will be a fun!

The RMI family and the mountaineering community are quite something to witness and to be a part of, if only for a trip here and there. The Mexico volcano trip this last March was exactly what I had hoped it would be, and as usual it turned out to be infinitely more. My two previous Rainier summits with RMI had made a believer out of me. Telling my family that I would be in the absolute best hands while in Mexico wasn't some shading of the truth. With the mythical creatures known as guides — Jake, Christina and Alfredo — watching out for us, we set out on a most excellent adventure to climb Ixtaccihuatl and El Pico de Orizaba.
The money, the time and the physical preparation to get the privilege of attempting to summit these glorious peaks seemed to be my primary focus prior to leaving but that was not my greatest takeaway from this adventure. The very best part of this trip, for so many of us, was the friendships that were formed as we came together as a team. From a train engineer to pilots and financial analysts to company presidents, everyone came together to embrace the experience. There aren't many venues these days where people of such different backgrounds and ages are put together to achieve a difficult goal like mountaineering. The immediate concern for one another was astounding. All of us trading what small bits of information we had that might help a teammate, sharing best practices or a piece of gear, and acts of kindness that you never see coming were happening from our first meeting in Mexico City. On Orizaba, our only summit possibility, when one of the team was going to turn back with just the guide another member offered to keep him company. What an act of selfless kindness.
The fantastic cultural experience was also something I hadn't really thought about until my arrival. Throughout our travels in Mexico we were met with tremendous hospitality. Dr. Reyes' staff at the historic climbing hostel Servimont in Tlachichuca provided us with incredible food, entertainment and service. It was a unique experience to be welcomed into that legendary place. The city of Puebla is a real gem. The architecture, the restaurants, the people; I could have spent a week entertaining myself there. To experience this place with my fellow climbers was truly a lot of fun.
Oh yes, the mountain part. Sketchy weather was stalking us the whole trip with an early arrival of Spring. The guides got us prepped and in position but no one doubted the decision to retreat off Ixta after a night at 15,400 feet. It was a night to be nice and cozy. Orizaba had wicked winds and a good snowfall prior to our arrival. Our train engineer offered his four wheeling skills and whipped that beast of a vehicle up the mountain road shaving hours off our hike to the Piedra Grande Hut. What a hoot! Of course it was a classic challenging RMI mission; methodical, focused, safe. We didn't have the best visibility until our descent but summiting was another incredible event to share with my new climbing family! The experience was a thing of beauty; the mountain, but more so the excitement and spiritual moment for each of us being up there. A huge thanks to RMI, my fellow climbers, our guides, and all the folks who supported us. I will continue to practice my rest stepping in Kentucky and very much look forward to my next adventure.

Well it sure has been an action packed few days for our team here in Mexico. After a wonderful rest day (I'll let everyone share their own tales when they return) where the crew scattered about the city causing mayhem and generally having a ball, we launched for Tlachichuca. We'd all been nervously watching the weather after our trouncing on Ixta and the forecast was unclear, on all fronts. We had seen everything from the apocalypse to passable, but there really is never any substitute for the nowcast. Upon arrival at the base of the mountain, in our old friend Dr. Reyes' climbers compound, we learned that no one had summited in days and that getting to the hut would require a few hours of walking. Snow had overtaken the road and trucks couldn't reach the hut. No one had ever seen such a low snow level, let alone heard of a vehicle making through drifts feet thick in spots. We were in for it if we were going to even make it to the hut.
We decided to go see how far we could get anyway and started climbing up the steep, muddy road towards the hut. The higher we drove, the more snow there was on the road. Eventually the trucks couldn't climb much higher and it looked like the walk was going to be epically long. But then, an ace up our sleeve saved the day and a teammate who probably doubles as a stunt driver for the winter chase scenes in James Bond movies stepped to the plate. Voila, we took hours off our approach, making it much further. In the end we walked for under an hour before laying claim to a deserted hut.
As we walked to the hut, Orizaba loomed over our heads. It sure looked nasty up high, dark clouds whipping over the summit and most of the glacier fully obscured. No one was really mentioning what we all were thinking, but some sure would have to change if we were going to get very high on this one. After a quick review of some climbing techniques, we feasted and turned in for the night. We woke very early and could see a few stars!! Dios mio! As we readied ourselves, the wind came out and it began to lightly snow the higher we climbed. Since we were the only climbers in days, the team broke trail through the night and as the storm built turning back was on everyone's mind. Each break we reached we reassessed the merits of continuing and we kept reaching the same conclusion, "one more stretch." When we reached the top of the Labyrinth (a rocky maze broken by snowy, usually ice, gullies), the wind and snow were peaking. Everyone was dealing so well with the weather that we decided we would climb for a half an hour on the glacier and turn back if it didn't improve. As we kicked steps up the glacier, the skies lightened slightly in the morning sun and the wind lessened a knot or two.
"One more stretch?"
"Por que no?" we concluded and repeated the question for the next few hours, constantly aware of our conditions and strengths. Continually assessing progress and our teammates, eventually it looked like it was going to be a fight, but that we just might stand on the cumbre! No summit is worth an injury, so the minute things looked like they COULD be sub ideal, we were ready to head back knowing we gave it our best. Orizaba respected the effort and graciously offered our team of intrepid explorers a glimpse of the top and happily we accepted the invitation. What a treat! Standing on top was a real achievement, and as the only crew on the whole mountain we had the whole hill to ourselves. Amazing day in the mountains.
The weather cleared a bit for the descent and our team did a great job handling the hardest part of the climb, the descent. A truck was even able to make it to the hut and happily saved us an hour of tired walking through the mud at the end of a long day. When we got back to Tlachichuca, hot showers and a marimba band made dinner even that much better.
Quite an adventure down here in Mexico, can't wait to see everyone back home!
EPIC!!! Great job!

I had an absolute ball on this trip. The whole crew was so welcoming and it was nice to be able to come out of my shell quite a bit. The Power Wagon as you know was a highlight for sure. I sure hope we are all able to stay in touch!

First off a big thanks to everybody and their good weather vibes for us down in Mexico. We were able to sneak one in on Orizaba today as the only climbers to stand on top. Beautiful day we were climbing in a very volatile weather situation, but we were able to move around and get to where we needed to be at just the right time, and were able to go stand on top. It was a wonderful day with a great crew. Thanks so much for sharing everybody with us and we look forward to seeing you all in the next day or two when we get home. Thanks so much.

A growing chorus of conservative Republicans say the current fight over how to reopen the government has little to do with President Obama's healthcare law, raising new questions about what the GOP wants to end the current fiscal standstill.
But with polls showing the GOP bearing the brunt of the blame for the current shutdown, fewer Republicans are demanding that changes to ObamaCare be part of any deal. Some Tea Party-backed lawmakers are even saying that the now five-day old shutdown could actually hurt Republicans chances to roll back the law.
Rep. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.), one of the dozens of House Republicans elected in the wave of 2010, said Saturday that the GOP's only real chance to get their way on the healthcare law is at the ballot box in 2014.
"If we were just focused on the implementation, the American public would see just how bad it is," Ross told reporters, pointing to glitches with ObamaCare's launch this week.
"This is a gift that keeps on giving to the Republican Party if we let it. I mean, it did a wonderful thing for us in elections in 2010. It will do a phenomenal thing for us in the elections in 2014."
Even Rep. Michele BachmannMichele BachmannNo-shows at GOP convention Clinton camp: Trump VP pick is 'divisive,' 'unpopular' Lobbying world MORE (R-Minn.), one of the most vocal GOP opponents of the healthcare law, said the fight had moved beyond ObamaCare as well. Asked Friday if the shutdown fight is still about the president's signature healthcare law, the Tea Party-favorite was clear.
"No," she said. "This is about opening up the federal government and making it work for the American people. That's what we're trying to do, is to get him [Obama] to resolve it.
"We don't get the president," she added. "We want him to come over, talk to us. The doors are wide open, we've given him bill after bill after bill. At some point the president has to start talking."
At the same time, House Republicans continue to push to open certain slivers of the government – even parts they have traditionally found overpriced or in need of reform.
Washington also has less than two weeks to raise the $16.7 trillion debt limit – a short window that's increasingly raising the likelihood that the two debates will merge. Those combined deadlines have Speaker John BoehnerJohn BoehnerConservative allies on opposite sides in GOP primary fight Clinton maps out first 100 days The Hill's 12:30 Report MORE (R-Ohio) quietly feeling out the GOP conference on a potential broad fiscal deal.
BoehnerJohn BoehnerConservative allies on opposite sides in GOP primary fight Clinton maps out first 100 days The Hill's 12:30 Report MORE and other GOP leaders had initially rejected the strategy of conditioning new spending on ObamaCare language, hoping to delay the battle for the debt ceiling debate.
They were forced to pull their bill, however, in the face of entrenched opposition from House conservatives who agree with Sen. Ted CruzTed CruzTeam Clinton: Sanders will help campaign take on 'rigged system' Clinton brings in the heavy hitters Wasserman Schultz drama overshadows Dem convention MORE (R-Texas), the loudest advocate for drawing a line in the sand on government funding.
Now, the Republican rank-and-file – and even some lawmakers close to Boehner – say they're still not exactly sure what their offer will or should be to end the current gridlock.
Ross, for instance, said that pride had become a major reason for the deadlock, and noted that the current shutdown actually has little impact on funding for ObamaCare's implementation.
Meanwhile, Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.) was forced to backtrack this week after saying he didn't know what the GOP wanted, and that lawmakers in the party had felt disrespected by Democrats and the president.
And other Republicans, like Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.), say they're resigned to falling short in their efforts against ObamaCare, at least when it comes to the fight over government funding.
Lamborn told reporters Saturday that he "recognizes the writing on the wall," and that the effort to either defund or delay ObamaCare has "not been successful."
Rep. Blake FarentholdBlake FarentholdGOP rips into Lynch, who refuses to discuss details in Clinton case Overnight Cybersecurity: Hacker leaks apparent DNC strategy guide SPEAK FREE Act would silence civil rights and public interest litigants MORE (R-Texas), another member of the 2010 class swept into office by ObamaCare, called the law "a big, shiny apple" that Republicans definitely viewed as the biggest job killer of all.
"But it's certainly not the only one. And if we can make the same or bigger difference doing something other than ObamaCare, I don't see why we wouldn't do it," Farenthold said, referencing potential change to entitlements, regulations and the tax code.
"The ObamaCare battle, I think, will live to be fought another day," the Texas Republican added. "Because I think it will collapse under its own weight."
Boehner has long sought a broad fiscal deal that would overhaul those areas, famously falling short in negotiations with Obama in 2011.
The Speaker and his allies are now talking up a potentially smaller deal, or a down payment on a bigger plan, that could include instructions for tax reform and some entitlement changes that the White House has supported in the past – like the "chained" consumer price index and means testing for Medicare beneficiaries.
"Absolutely," said Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.). "That's the big issue."
Rep. John FlemingJohn FlemingDavid Duke will bank on racial tensions in Louisiana Senate bid Former KKK leader David Duke running for Senate Overnight Finance: Senate punts on Zika funding | House panel clears final spending bill | Biz groups press Treasury on tax rules | Obama trade rep confident Pacific deal passes this year MORE (R-La.) echoed that message. He acknowledged the the healthcare issue has disappeared amid the GOP's new piecemeal approach to the CR, but he was quick to add that the CR debate is "rapidly merging into the debt ceiling discussion," where Republicans will redouble their earlier efforts to prevent ObamaCare from taking full effect.
"It's still there," Fleming said. "Healthcare will come back up again."
"You've seen the long laundry list of things we want to discuss and debate," he added, "everything from Keystone XL to coal ash to the REINS Act, and again revisit the one-year delay of ObamaCare."
But for conservatives like Ross, the current fight also overshadows the strides that Republicans have made in restraining government spending – another key plank that the class of 2010 ran on.
Democrats, for instance, are willing to reluctantly support a short-term bill that funds the government at the $986 billion sequester-level level – a figure far below what most in the party prefer.
And, Ross said, Republicans had found a way to bottle up government spending like no Congress had since the Korean War-era.
"That's significant," Ross said. "If we could have said we were going to do that three years ago when we were elected, people wouldn't have believed us."

Awesome plugin, wp-pro-quiz is.
I have a question.
Can we have a combined mark-sheet for all who took a particular exam in the statistics?
userID | date | exam_start_time | exam_end_time | true | false | total marks
I think ladderboard does that, but I can't get it to work, and if it does, will it give stastics for all who took the exam or only top 10?
I need it for only admins, not for frontend.
Also, can the scores/marks for the whole class (all who took exam), be exported to csv or something?

Mura, Muri, Muda?
Twenty years ago this month, when my first daughter was born, the young men I supervised in MIT's International Motor Vehicle Program went dashing out of the office to buy her a gift. They returned shortly with a pink T-shirt, size 1, with the stenciled message on the front "Muda, Mura, Muri."My wife was bewildered – "Is this how guys welcome a baby girl?!" But I could understand. We had made an intense effort that summer to understand these new Japanese terms for waste (Muda), unevenness in operations (Mura), and overburdening of people and equipment (Muri) that entered our lives when John Krafcik joined our team from NUMMI, the Toyota/GM joint venture in
Dear sir,
Thank you to share this case. It helped me to understand those confusing japanese words.
Dear sir,
Thanks for sharing that excellent information, most all the people does not understand the meaning of that words, but the most important is to know it, in order to do a proper strategy of implementation of continuous improvement and avoid the frustration.
I agree with you Jim. There has been insufficient focus on the other two M's. When we created the AME Excellence Award criteria we specifically decided to include all 3 Ms. We look at them both in operations and in office processes. The feedback from assessment teams for sites that merit a site visit, typically includes doing more work on the other two Ms. The companies that are Manufacturing Excellence Award recipients typically have a pretty robust, holistic improvement process that covers all three perspectives.
By the way: the three M's of muri, muda and mura were already mentioned in Schonberger's 1982 classic on Japanese Manufacturing Techniques.
Seems strange that at MIT in 1986 these were new words...

Muncie, IN
Jem and the Holograms, the 1980s animated television series about the adventures of a singer and her band, is being developed as a live-action film by G.I. Joe: Retaliation director Jon M. Chu, horror producer Jason Blum and talent manager Scooter Braun.
The trio announced the project today in a video at JemtheMovie.com, where they asked fans for submissions to help them write the music, design the costumes and select the cast. "Sort of like Kickstarter, but rather than asking for money, we're asking for your creativity," Chu said.
Produced by Hasbro, Marvel Productions and Rainbow Productions, Jem and the Holograms aired in syndication from 1985 to 1988, following the exploits of music-company owner Jerrica Benton, her pink wig-wearing singer alter ego Jem and her band the Holograms.
The writer of the article shows he knows little of Jem. Jerrica never wore a pink wig to become her alter ego Jem, she had high tech ear rings that created a hologram around her body. Jerrica always said, "Showtime Synergy" to the machine that ran the hologram technology, and then, "Show's over Synergy" when she wanted to look like regular Jerrica again and cancel the holographic imagery.
Still, depending on if it's FUN and getting the right actors, I'm cautiously looking forward to this! In my mind the singer Pink would simply have to be one of the Misfits!
Beyonce for Jem. I can see it now.
Actually, my partner and I had been developing the Jem story for over a year and we already have cast, crew, and a script that is copyrighted with the original story condensed into film. My partner contacted Mr. Chu a year ago asking him to direct our film, but he never responded to him. Then this happens after we asked him to direct our Jem film.
I've been expecting this for a while now. :D
Hollywood is called the land of broken dreams for a good reason.
Read the full article at the Hollywood Reporter. The movie does not sound like it has much in common with the cartoon.
I hope this doesn't become a suckfest like the Josie & The Pussycats movie many years ago.
It's gotta be April Fools
this should be treated seriously. maybe as a vehicle for a singer but not as a joke.
