|Diffusion-controlled reference material for VOC emissions testing: proof of concept
|March 03, 2010
|Because of concerns about indoor air quality, there is growing awareness of the need to reduce the rate at which indoor materials and products emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs). To meet consumer demand for low emitting products, manufacturers are increasingly submitting materials to independent laboratories for emissions testing. However, the same product tested by different laboratories can result in very different emissions profiles because of a general lack of test validation procedures. There is a need for a reference material that can be used as a known emissions source and that will have the same emission rate when tested by different laboratories under the same conditions. A reference material was created by loading toluene into a polymethyl pentene film. A fundamental emissions model was used to predict the toluene emissions profile. Measured VOC emissions profiles using small-chamber emissions tests compared reasonably well to the emissions profile predicted using the emissions model, demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed approach to create a diffusion-controlled reference material

New Alabama AG Boots Oil-Spill Lawyers, Will Handle On His Own
For a time it seemed like suing BP was all the rage. Even states got in on the act. Alabama did at least, hiring a collection of top plaintiffs' attorneys to represent it.
Former Attorney General Troy King raised eyebrows first when he filed the suit – and then when he outsourced the job of representing the state to Rhon Jones and David Byrne of Beasley Allen and Joshua Hayes of Prince Glover & Hayes.
Critics complained that the state would be missing out on revenue by paying the outside attorneys fees that they would be due.
Former Gov. Bob Riley and King were often at odds over how to proceed to recover losses. King filed a lawsuit, while Riley initially wanted to pursue the claims process, according to this Bloomberg story.
Well, there's a new sheriff in town. Brand spankin' new Attorney General Luther Strange (pictured). And he has fired the trial attorneys and named himself lead counsel, according to this report in Reuters.
"I'm not going to give any law firm 15 to 20 percent of the money due the people of the state of Alabama," Strange told Reuters Legal in a phone interview. "Any money received will go directly to citizens, not to lawyers."
According to Reuters, it's not clear how Strange's strategy for the litigation will differ from that of the outside attorneys. The state's case is part of the MDL before Louisiana federal court judge Carl Barbier.
Here's an interesting twist: Strange in the past was an oil lobbyist, registered to represent Transocean Offshore Drilling in 1998, according to Reuters. Transocean successor company owned the rig that exploded in April, causing the spill. Strange has said he has no conflict.
Strange is slated to be in New Orleans on Friday to appear before Barbier in a status hearing on the spill litigation.

Yesterday we posted some YouTube videos of Mike Huckabee plucking the bass at various campaign stops and, lo and behold, he turns up (as a scab) with Jay Leno last night and plays the bass again. But if you're going to vote for a bass player for president, why not go all the way and back the greatest of them all? That, of course, would be Derek Smalls of Spinal Tap and, rumor has it, he is quite the secret lefty and now lives in New Orleans.
It might not hurt this year, with certain audiences, that one of his former bands was the Christian rock outfit, Lambsblood, famous for its appearance at the legendary "Monsters of Jesus" festival.
Here is Derek revealing his top qualification for the job.

In another develpment, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, who has handled Mayweather's most recent fights, revealed to RingTV.com that he is close to reaching a deal for Mayweather (42-0, 26 KOs) to fight on the target date that could be announced as early as next week.
Schaefer and Arum have twice failed to make a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight in the past over the issue of drug testing, and Schaefer does not believe that Arum is serious about making the matchup.
"Once it became apparent that Bob Arum is not interested in a Mayweather fight — and he can say whatever he wants to say — but I do hope that fight fans and the media are starting to realize that he never had any intentions to get that fight done. There are many reasons why," said Schaefer .
"First, Manny wasn't available in May, and he was going to fight in June. Then when it was apparent that Mayweather was going to fight in may, suddenly, Pacquiao's going to fight in May. And now, he knows that Mayweather's going to fight in May, and, suddenly, Pacquiao is not available in May. It's so clear that we they don't want the fight that we'll move on."
According to Schaefer, the candidates other than Pacquiao appear to have been narrowed down to RING No. 2-rated lightweight Robert Guerrero, a five-belt winner over the course of three divisions, and RING No. 2-ranked junior middleweight Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, holder of his division's WBC crown.
"It's very clear that one of the names which we get a lot of requests and questions about is Saul Canelo Alvarez. So we'll have to have to see, but Canelo would love that fight. I know Robert Guerrero would love that fight as well. We are going to be working in the next few days to finalize his opponent, so, I think that you're going to get some news next week," said Schaefer.
"My hope is that in the next few days that we have everything lined up, because we have put tremendous effort and work into it already from a marketing and from a venue and from a negotiating point of view with the potential opponents. So we are pretty much ready to go, and will try to get everything firmed up next week."
Mayweather, who turns 35 in February, had been scheduled to turn himself in on Friday to begin serving the 90-day sentence imposed on Dec. 21. Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa said she weighed Mayweather's contractual obligations to a fight set for May at MGM Grand in Las Vegas against an as-yet unnamed opponent.
Mayweather's lawyer Richard Wright had pleaded with the judge to allow Mayweather to fulfill commitments regarding the fight, emphasizing the economic benefit to Las Vegas when Mayweather fights.

When I lie down both my ribs stick out but my left rib sticks out quite a lot more than the right. Is this something abnormal? I thought maybe it was because the heart is on the left side so that rib sticks out more to accommodate for it?
Left rib sticks out more than right
|Posted on
- Thread Starter
It is not due to the heart. I have similar problem and the reason was that I would slouch a lot when I was younger Does it cause you any discomfort?
The very top of my ribs (just below my collar bones - the very top 2 or 3 ribs) are like that, except it's my right side that stick out more than my left. It's just one of those things - the GP said (yes my mother was that freaked out that she took me to the GP at the time when she noticed it) said it was perfectly normal. We're not symmetrical after all.
May I ask how old you are? Do you have any prominent shoulder blades (maybe one more than the other)?
Mine are like that too why I lie down and pull my stomach in. I'm pretty sure it's normal.
Mine do this too! It's pretty normal I should think and nothing to worry about unless it causes you discomfort. If you're really worried about it you could get it checked out, but unless you're just more curious than anything I think it's just one of those things!
my ribs are a mess after injuring them a while back. I wouldn;t worry too much what they look like as long as they don't cause you any discomfort.
It's perfectly normal, a normal anatomical variant, and is sometimes referred to as a "flared rib". Can be a hereditary thing, I've got one raised one on the left, as has my brother and my dad. Nobody's perfectly symmetrical and so long as it doesn't cause you any discomfort or difficulty, there's no need to worry.
I have this tooo! I only notice if I breathe in but on sticks out a lot more than the other and they're different shapes.
The left sticks out more and has more of an arc than the right.
my left rib is the same.. you will realy notice it when you are so slim ****.. but i think that problem lazy ppl get it or got it at the young age when they were just on a **** bed and watching movie 24/7.. like my ****ing childhood i ****ing hate it. a looser child as **** i

Arabian Nights at The Shadow Lounge
Shadow Lounge always pulls out all the stops for NYE, and this year is no exception. After a very successful night about Greek mythology and Gladiators last year, a trip to the Middle East is planned to welcome 2013.
It is no secret that gayland takes place everywhere. Just like Arabic women wear the most expensive designer clothes and jewellery under their burkas, there's also a plethora of hot sexy men hidden under those robes and we are up to reveal it!
Shadow Lounge will be transformed into an oasis in the middle of Soho, where DJs Doug Silva, Nikos T and Miswhite will play the latest on commercial dance, pop remixes and, of course, some middle-eastern inspired house.
In addition to great music, expect to see dancers of Allah, Ali Baba and the 40 boyfriends, Oil Kings, a fortune teller and much more. The first 100 guests will be welcomed with a complimentary champagne and canapés reception served by the fabulous Shadow Lounge hosts. Insha'Allah!

THRAK BOX Reviewed
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Fri., Oct 16, 2015
The forthcoming THRAK BOX is the lead review in the new edition of Prog magazine. "The album itself appears here twice: in its shiny 2002 remastered form, and in a brand new 2015 stereo "re-imagining by Fripp and Jakko Jakszyk. As familiar and engaging as it is, the former is entirely overshadowed by the latter, wherein the benefits of state-of-the-art studio technology are made abundantly plain...The new stereo mix retains that clarity and zinginess, but this is an all-singing, all-dancing, high-octane upgrade...This is primarily tough, punchy, anxious music that revels in its own atonal conceits and intrinsic sense of menace"
Sign The Take Down & Stay Down Petition
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Oct 15, 2015
The amount of times a take-down order is filed only to have the same clip, track or full album pop back up is a source of frustration to many small indie labels who see their artists' work being abused.

Backdoor.Bot is a pass-spreading Trojan that has a main function of allowing remote attacker to access your computer. Presence of this threat causes identify theft and stolen online accounts to banking and gaming web sites. Additionally, Backdoor.Bot robs your computer with privacy information by recording all key presses and save it to a log file. On a scheduled time, all gathered data are delivered to the attacked using HTTP and FTP protocols. This Trojan also saves screenshot of your screen, capturing some of your important information.
Backdoor.Bot also connects to its Command and Control (C&C) server for further attacker's instructions. It may receive other malware that executes on the computer to conduct separate purposes. The threat may receive new commands or update itself using the same link. As the name suggests, its main function is to open the port to allow unauthorized remote access. However, there are several versions of Backdoor.Bot that carry out extra tasks such as the following:
- Drop and execute other malware
- Hide files and folders
- Delete, rename, or execute other malware files
- Receive instructions from a remote attacker
- Download and install rogue security product
- Record key presses on the affected computer
As there are many variants of Backdoor.Bot, each has own ways of infiltrating your computer. Thus, leaving your entire protection to antivirus program is not sufficient. Proper and secure ways of using the Internet helps in preventing Backdoor.Bot infection.
|OS Affected

We are moving to Orinda very soon and I need to find a preschool for my soon-to-be 4 year old fast! Any suggestions?? I am also open to co-ops. Thank you! anon
TOPS (The Orinda Preschool) is a wonderful coop preschool. My children love it, the teachers are wonderful, the administration is wonderful, the parents are committed (most of them at least), and it's been a great way to get to know people, and feel a part of the community. I highly recommend it. Come check it out with your child (make an appointment) and you'll see for yourself. Good luck, there are a lot of great preschools in the area. Happy TOPS parent
Re: Preschools in Orinda
My daughter went to TOPS- the Orinda Preschool which is a cooperative in Orinda. Nice school, very nice director Trish Carella. Lots of families from Oakland, Berkeley as well as Orinda. Very nurturing environment, with lots of extra curricular activities- music fair every year. Also they have a science teacher with organized activities for the children dependent upon their age. My daughter also went to the Montessori in Orinda for 1 1/2 years. A little more rigid and structured of an environment. I have also heard nice things about St. John's preschool.

It looks like it could be but its hard to tell from that picture , the bubbles should run in neat controlled slightly diagonal rows , with photos you can sometimes see the back bubbles as well and that throws the neat lines or rows out . i hope that makes sense .

Talking and listening are the first ways children learn about language. By talking with you, children learn the sounds of their language and learn about the world around them. The more they know about their world, the more they will understand what they read in books.
Reading books together teaches your child new words and shows them what print is and how books work. When reading is fun, children become more interested in learning how to read themselves.
Singing songs gives children lots of practice hearing and saying rhyming words and breaking words into smaller pieces. Hearing all the sounds in a word makes it easier to sound out new words when they are reading.
Playing gives children a chance to practice using the words they know. Play teaches children that one thing—like a blanket—can stand for another thing—like a cape. This helps children learn that the letters on the page stand for words and ideas. Try the Spark literacy activities focused on Play.
Writing, drawing, and scribbling are the ways your child learns that print and letters on the page stand for the words they hear when we talk. Handling small objects and using crayons builds the fine motor skills and eye-hand coordination that help children when they use books and write in school.

Roger to play Nadal in final!
Roger defeated Novak Djokovic 6-1, 6-4 in the semi-final in London today. He has reached the final of the ATP World Tour Finals for the sixth time in the nine times he has participated.
Roger won the first set after approximately half an hour after displaying outstanding tennis. Djokovic began the second set in determined fashion, breaking Roger for the first time to take a 2-0 lead. But the joy from an increased margin of 3-0 lasted just two games as Roger began to battle back and leveled at 3-3. Roger eventually brought home the match, pulling away with a service winner out of reach for Djokovic.
"It seems like it's working this week," said Roger after the match. "I played well against a player who's had a great season. I played a great match so I'm very happy. I hope I can keep this up for a long, long time."
Therefore, the dream final is perfect: Roger will face Rafael Nadal on Sunday.
I am so happy for you...tears of joy won't stop...God has been so very good to you and to all Federistas....you can do it Rog...believe...pray...survive! we are all behind you...we will pray for you,,,lots of love for you always!!! God Bless!
I am happy for you.
You are a perfect player but Nadal is a big fighter. So please fight more than him... Fight physically and mentally much more than him...
All the best
Take the same qualities of aggression to Nadal today, and win!
I know you can do it.
with love xxx
Good luck for final.
I want to see your attractive smile.
P.S. I want to keep seeing your game for a long time.
Though I want you to win early while playing a game of course. :)
let him spoil it pleasssseeee.... You can do it.

Brother In Arms – Furious 4
Called "Furious Faculty", the rules of the game are easy: make the Nazis fly as far as you can by branding their back.
Once the user is logged in Facebook, he can challenge his friends and collect points to be at the top of the ranking.
Afterwards, several mini-games will be unlocked. A fact that will encourage gamers to come back and try other unusual weapons like an electroshock weapon, a Tomahawk battle-axe, or even a chain saw.
So, Furious 4 isn't an advergame to take at face value. Very close to Inglorious Bastard movie, it takes users to the universe of the game and makes them meet the emblematic characters: Crockett, Stitch, Chock and Montana.
Try your luck, enter the Furious Faculty now!

'Very Good Years' Could Lie Ahead for Japan: Threadneedle
Japan's equity market remains attractive and could benefit from "several very good years of corporate performance" if Prime Minister Shinzo Abe successfully implements his economic policies, said William Davies, the London-based head of global equities at Threadneedle Global Investments.
Mr. Davies said he expects Mr. Abe's Liberal Democratic Party to win upper house elections later this month, enabling the full implementation of "Abenomics," including the critical "third arrow" involving structural improvements to the economy.
"Should policy be rolled out successfully we think Japan could enjoy several very good years of corporate performance as profit margins rise," Mr. Davies said in emailed comments.
The Nikkei Stock Average's recent pullback was a "necessary correction" following its dramatic gains in preceding months, he said.
In the short term, Threadneedle, which has $127.8 billion in assets under management, sees exporters with a yen cost base benefiting from a weaker yen–industry leaders such as Toyota Motor and Makita are among its investments. Financials such as Nomura Co. and Japan Exchange Group are expected to benefit from rising asset values and trading volumes, Mr. Davies said.
Over the medium term traditional lenders, real-estate investment trusts and home builders are likely to benefit from rising construction and demand for earthquake-proof housing, he said.
Should Abenomics succeed in generating inflation, retailers and consumer goods companies which have had margins persistently squeezed by deflation in the past also should benefit, he said.

I've had an N-in-one set of hex keys for almost three decades, now. Allen wrenches are only problematic to me when they're used in poorly dimensioned and poorly constructed fasteners. Which usually means the fit is poor AND the key depth is far too shallow. I've had to put quite a bit of torque on an Allen fastener, but it was one of those bolts whose head is quite deep; even taller than it was wide. Bottom line: if it's deep enough, an Allen bolt works just fine.
That said, nearly all of the assemble-it-yourself furniture uses fasteners of the poorly-designed variety. Makers of that kind of stuff are, I fervently hope, doomed to some kind of afterlife retribution.
I also have few problems with Torx fasteners, aside from the initial resistance to obtaining the proper bits.

Torx wrenches and fittings seem less well standardized than their scale and applications demand. Seems you need to have a few brands of Torx wrenches and a few different makes of screw to get a good fit and not strip the buggers.

Sonor drums, made in Germany, uses a round-headed lug screw, which has a slot. to replace or tune heads on Sonor drums, you must use a Sonor drum key.

Top Rank Inc. CEO Bob Arum's nearly 45 years in boxing began with the Muhammad Ali victory over George Chuvalo, and it was his first of 26 fights involving the man many call "The Greatest."
An attorney and Cum Laude graduate from Harvard Law School who turned 80 on Thursday, Arum also handled every fight of Marvelous Marvin Hagler's career, as well as substantial portions of those of Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Oscar De La Hoya and RING No. 2-rated pound-for-pound WBC welterweight beltholder Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Arum also helped to mastermind the comeback of George Foreman, who became the oldest man to win a heavyweight championship when he knocked out Michael Moorer in the 10th-round at the age of 45 in November 1994.
Arum calls his pinnacle, however, the career of RING No. 1-pound-for-pound eight division beltwinner and WBO titleholder Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 knockouts), who has won 15 straight fights and become a cross-over star in addition to being a congressman in his native Philippines.
Arum is coming off a monster weekend during which RING No. 1-rated junior middleweight and WBC titleholder Miguel Cotto stopped ex-beltwinner Antonio Margarito before a sold out crowd of 21,239 at New York's Madison Square Garden on HBO Pay Per View to avenge his 11th-round knockout loss that dethroned him as WBA welterweight titleholder in July of 2008.
Arum also promotes RING No. 1-rated lightweight Brandon Rios, RING No. 5-rated middleweight and WBC beltholder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and unbeaten RING No. 7-rated welterweight Mike Jones.
RingTV.com spoke to Arum regarding what he would change about the sport, among other things.
Bob Arum's top five things he would change about boxing:
1) The first thing that I would change is that there should be one recognized champion in each weight division.
The plethora of championship belts that we have now, plus interim champions and silver belt champions is absolutely confusing to the public and is bad for the sport of boxing.
2) I would some howhave only one sanctioning body that would determine who is the champion and who is to fight whom. So instead of having four or five sanctioning bodies which just compound the confusion.
3) I would do what I could to elminate the horror that is now amateur boxing, both in the United States, and, around the world.
The U.S. group that runs amateur boxing is turning away or scaring away really good, young fighters who are turning pro earlier and earlier because they can't tolerate what they believe is the malfeasance in the running of boxing in the United States.
I would also somehow kick out all of people who run the amatuer boxing worldwide, because they do a horrible job and appear to be from everything that I read dispicable people.
4) I would have a federal boxing commission that would have overall supervision of the sport in the United States, and I would minimize the role of the state athletic commissions with regard to physicals and so forth and the nitty-gritty in regard to putting on the event.
I would allow the state athletic commission to appoint doctors, etc., but I would minimize the role of the states athletic commission and have the federal commission play a major role in running boxing.
5) I would have somebody address the question of how we're going to create some type of pension plan for fighters which is fair and reasonable and puts the burden on everybody involved in boxing from the promoters to the managers and to the fighters themselves.
Lovee Arum: Oh, she's the love of my life, and she's been a great woman and I've been able to accomplish in the last 21 years, so much because of her support.
Oscar De La Hoya: Osar De La Hoya was a very, very good fighter, and we had a tremendous run of promoting him, which was good for us and good for Oscar.
I think that he is not designed for the role of a promoter, and I think that he ought to have some other role, whether it's in boxing or outside of boxing.
Todd duBoef, Top Rank Inc. President: Todd, in my mind, will be the premiere promoter in boxing. He's smart as a whip, and he is on the cutting edge of all of the technological changes in the sport.
He deals very, very well with fighters, and I really believe that Todd will be the super, super promoter in the years ahead.
Don King: Don King, for most of my promotional career, has been a big rival of mine. Now, in our later years, I've come to appreciate what a great promoter King has been, and I'm one of his biggest admirers at this point in time.
Keith Kizer: Keith is a very, very good executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. He is a very honorable guy who has no secret hidden agendas, which makes him a man that you can trust.
Michael Koncz: Michael Koncz is an intelligent fellow who is very loyal and dedicated to Manny Pacquiao. He works extremely hard to make sure that Manny Pacquiao gets the best deals possible.

Dec. 6 — To the Editor:
I wish to express my most sincere disappointment regarding the most recent exchange between Sue Polidura and Gerald Duffy; insofar as Mr. Duffy again attacked Ms. Polidura, but neglected to respond to my own well-thought-out diatribe. Perhaps he believes she's an easier target for being a woman, as I am not. I don't quite understand the obsession, but I would appreciate a little attention, too!
I find myself confused regarding his most recent letter when referencing the term "liberal." Webster's defines the term liberal (small "l") as: "favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties." Regretfully, Mr. Duffy, there was no picture of a Jack Russell terrier. I am confounded because by this definition, I would find Ms. Polidura to be incredibly liberal insofar as her support for "individual freedoms," and I would find Mr. Duffy to be the antithesis of liberal in his support for collective, socialist-type programs that trounce upon the liberties of the individual. I think, Mr. Duffy, you might be a big "L" Liberal, which somehow has come to mean the opposite of the small "l" liberal, strange that.
Small "l" liberals like myself believe in individual liberty and self-responsibility; big "L" Liberals like Mr. Duffy believe that you, the readers, are not capable of taking care of yourselves, and only the government can take care of you, and hence wish to "progress" toward socialism; (the reason they're also called progressives). I can't think of a time when their "ideas" have really had any real success.
So, the challenge presented by Gerald to Sue is as laughable, as it is absurd. If I may sum up his challenge for the reader: "Sue, the solutions of my party and president have completely failed, and I'm sick of hearing you talk about the many, many scandals of the current administration (Benghazi, Fast and Furious, Internal Revenue Service scandal, "Obamacare" woes etc.), so if you could refrain from talking about the president's failed policies, and give me your own take so I might have something I can poke at instead of trying to defend this president, that would be great."
I am not sure how Ms. Polidura will answer, but as for solutions, from my perspective, I would say we would achieve more by doing nothing than to allow this administration to continue its many failed somethings. Mr. Duffy, I look forward to your response and remind readers that they may review previous letters to the editor at www.seacoastonline.com, (by clicking) News Tab, then Opinions.

A Science Teacher Shares Tech Resources For Teachers, Parents & Students
Posted on alfonsogonzalez | 1 Comment
I teach Middle School Science, mainly physical, environmental, and life to 6th and 8th graders. Through grants I have acquired 14 iPads for my students to use everyday. Students are also welcome to use their own handheld devices or smartphones. For those who have no devices or technology of their own I also have enough iMacs and Netbooks to create a 1:1 environment of student to technology. Science is a subject where I can easily integrate technology to help my students learn and demonstrate learning of all the topics that we study.
Stopwatch + Calculator
When we do labs, students make use of the iPad app iLab: Timer HD (not free) as a stopwatch as well as the free calculator app Pcalc Lite.
A handy biology app
A nice paid app for Biology is the Cell and Cell Structure app, which I was able to try out for free – my students did use it and like it.
Dissection apps
If your students do any animal dissection you can offer kids an alternate way to dissect virtually with Frog Dissection and Rat Dissection, both excellent apps that my students, even 6th graders who don't do any dissecting, love to use. Both of those are also paid apps. I was allowed to try out the Frog Dissection app for free and when I saw how much students took to it I bought the app for them.
Office app for iPad
One iPad app that we get a lot of use from is Office2 HD. It's a paid app but has been well worth the price for us. Students use it for Word Processing and note taking and students save their documents as Word documents. Students can also make spreadsheets that are compatible with Excel, presentations that are compatible with PowerPoint, or they can create text files. A really cool feature of Office2 HD is that I have it setup with all our class Google accounts so students can upload their documents to those Google Docs accounts. Once the documents are uploaded to their Google Doc accounts, they do have to share it with me from Google Docs using Safari because you can't share it from Office2 HD, but it's still a great way to get their documents uploaded. Once they share their documents with me, I can keep track of everything from my computer. Paper free and notebook free, which means I can read and comment on their work anywhere, anytime.
Student blogs
All my students have a blog that I moderate through ClassBlogmeister at http://mrgonzalez.org/. I like using ClassBlogmeister because I moderate and approve all posts and comments before they go live. I post assignments and ask reflection questions after each unit of study so students use their blogs as electronic portfolios of their learning in Science. If I get my 6th graders again in my 8th grade classes (I have all the 6th graders and two-thirds of the 8th graders) they get their same blog so it shows all their Science learning from 6th and 8th grade. Because of this, we don't need to use much paper even at the student-led conferences.
Creating original artwork
In order to have original artwork on their blogs, students love using Doodle Buddy, a free app, for all their drawing needs. With Doodle Buddy students can add text to drawings so they can also copy a picture they find on the Internet and add text to it, which is important for us because we have first gen iPads with no cameras. For photo editing PS Express is an awesome app and it's free! It does everything we need from cropping to rotating images. We have two ways to get photos and drawings uploaded for use on blogs. One way is with the Photobucket app, also free and very easy. I have a class FTP account through my personal server account and FTPView is amazing for uploading photos from the iPad. It costs money so Photobucket is great and preferable for those without their own FTP accounts.
Some students really enjoy creating their own animations and Doink is a great app for that. It does cost money but kids really like it, it's easy to use and kids can create really nice animated images with it. I was also allowed to use Doink with kids for free and kids really liked it and made good use of it so I can recommend it. A free app that some students made use of is Blue Fire, which students use to record podcasts to upload and use on their blogs. It's easy to use and is very effective.
Social networking
For social networking to increase participation in class discussions I've tried using Collaborize Classroom. I have never used Edmodo but I think Collaborize Classroom gives Edmodo a run for its money and can be used to do many of the same things teachers are doing with Edmodo. I'm not sure which is the better platform to use, especially since I've only used Collaborize Classroom but both seem to have great potential. Collaborize Classroom has also introduced a free iPad app making it a more workable option for my students. Blogging and social networking allow all my students to connect with each other, even out of the classroom anytime, anywhere, as well as with students all over the world. My classes have blogged and commented with kids from New York, New Jersey, Colorado, Australia, and New Zealand.
Other tech we use
We do use the iPads, personal handheld devices, iMacs, and Netbooks for consuming information when we do research. Students use the class tech as consumers to learn. We don't use textbooks much if at all because we can usually find great websites that cover any topic we are studying. But what I see with blogging, writing, drawing, making animations, movies, and podcasts is that students can use our iPads to create as well. What makes the iPad a useful tool for my Science students is its mobility and ease of use to share what you are doing. That being said, iMacs and Netbooks are actually preferable for doing things such as making movies (both have webcams) and for using Web2.0 sites such as Glogster and Prezi, which we also use and cannot create or work with on the iPad. There are workarounds and apps for viewing Prezis and Glogs but not for creating them. I actually feel very fortunate to have multiple resources available for my students to offer them choices for showing and/or demonstrating what they are learning whether they use a mobile device or a desktop.

DART envy — it's real, so someone tell Gordon Keith
"Why take DART when you don't have to?"
The question isn't mine. It's from the wickedly popular Gordon Keith, of The Ticket fame, who wrote for our paper today about taking a ride on a DART bus.
Two observations:
– I'm still not entirely clear on why Gordon decided to ride a bus for the hell of it. I could have told him that he'd find better column material interviewing campers beneath any freeway bridge.
– I've had a way different experience than he has when talking to people about commuting via DART, which I do.
The operative paragraph from his column:
In many parts of town, if you announce, "I want to take DART to work," the telltale response will be "Why?" That word is the shortest explanation of DART's struggles. Why take DART when you don't have to? The buses and trains don't run frequently enough, far enough, quickly enough, or close enough. DART can't correct those problems until enough people ride it. And enough people won't ride it until DART corrects those problems.
My experience is that when I tell someone I take the train to and from work every day, people get envious. People get dreamy and sigh, "I wish I could."
DART envy. It's real.
Some poor schmoes who try to carry on DART-free have good reasons. Gordon mentioned some of them: They don't live near a transit route, or they have jobs where they need a car at odd times to dash off to different places. Parents of school children need to get kids to class or get to games and things after school. I've been there, but I'm not there now.
Some "wish I could" non-DARTers are just full of excuses. They're scared to make the commitment or at least try it out.
I think they think that DART riders bite or have cooties. Mostly, we don't.
(Well, it is true that the later you go into the evening hours, DART trains feel less like box seats and more like the bleachers. If you get nervous when strangers carry on 12-step conversations in your midst, the trick is not to work too late.)
Gordon mentioned the independence of having a car. Yes, kind of. There's also the freedom of never having to listen to radio traffic copter reports while packing my lunch in the morning. Some other guy's blown radiator hose will not make me late for work along with 100,000 other people inching down the freeway.
You're also independent of having to stop for stray groceries on the way home, if you're the car-less half of a domestic arrangement.
My train or bus is sometimes a few minutes late, but that's what you have a smart phone for, right? You can read nearly anything in the palm of your hand. You can pay some bills. You can even listen to The Ticket if your phone is smart enough, I hear.
Our current household, in Richardson, is the second we picked with DART rail in mind. Both are within walking distance of a Red Line. I'm now 20 minutes away on foot or 10 minutes away if I snag a bus or a ride from mi esposa.
So we have a one-car instead of a two-car household. You reckon what your savings would be. I peg it at about 10k a year.
That buys a bunch of independence, too. At least it buys a lot of enchilada plates.

Get ready to start strumming with Kiki and The Fresh Beat Band when you and your kids make this play guitar out of reused household items.
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Print the Kiki Guitar Templates (in color for best results). Cut out the guitar body (page 1), guitar neck (page 2), and the guitar top (page 3).
Set aside the guitar neck. Use scissors to cut apart the cereal box to create one large piece of cardboard. Glue the guitar body and the guitar top onto the cardboard using a glue stick. Then cut out the shapes again. The guitar body and guitar top now have a sturdy cardboard backing.
Wrap the guitar neck printable around the empty paper towel roll and secure with tape. You may need to trim your paper towel roll so it is completely covered by the guitar neck printable.
On the guitar body, use a thumbtack or safety pin to poke holes into each of the six blue dots on either end of the string lines. Wiggle the thumbtack or safety pin around as you poke the hole to make sure it is wide enough to accept a rubber band.

 Cut the rubber bands and use a paper clip or a pencil tip to push each end through the string holes. Tie knots in the back to secure them in place.
Cut two slits in the top of the guitar body alongside the brown-and-white striped section. These slits should extend down about 1 1/2 inches. Now cut corresponding 1 1/2-inch slits on either side of the paper towel roll.

 Slide the paper towel roll down onto the guitar body, aligning the slits. Continue sliding them together until the paper towel roll is secured to the guitar body.
Apply glue stick along the bottom of the guitar head and affix to the top of the paper towel roll. Allow the glue to dry.

Bell Mobility to Launch LTE Network with Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE and Galaxy S II LTE
You didn't think Telus was going to be the only one with a next-gen LTE network, did you? While Telus plans to announce their LTE network on 28 September this year, Bell Mobility is also a quick follower, and is set to launch some LTE devices and its LTE network sometime this fall. Here's what this means for Bell customers.
First, you won't have to be tied down by slow 3G speeds anymore, and you'll notice speeds on your smartphone or tablet that are a lot more like broadband, with Bell's LTE supposedly reaching up to 150 Mbps. In reality it's probably going to have the maximum around 50 Mbps or so, but that is also a very high speed, which should make websites load in an instant.
The bottleneck might actually be your smartphone's CPU which needs to also render those pages. At slow 3G speeds the slow rendering wasn't the bottleneck and was unnoticeable, but with LTE speeds, your smartphone's processor will be the only thing keeping your web pages from loading as fast as possible, not the Internet connection.
But that is exactly why Bell Mobility's LTE network is launching with the most powerful smartphone and tablet on the market: the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE, and the Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE. The Bell Mobility Galaxy S II LTE has a large 4.5″ Super AMOLED Plus display with a 800×480 resolution, comes with a dual core 1.2 Ghz processor, 1 GB of RAM, an 8 MP rear camera, and a 2 MP front camera. It runs Android 2.3.
The Bell Mobility Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE has an even more powerful dual core 1.5 Ghz processor, also 1 GB of RAM, 8.9″ display with 1280×800 resolution, 3MP rear camera with 720p video recording, and a 2 MP front-facing camera. It runs Android Honeycomb.
The 2 devices are both terrific and they are Samsung's latest flagships, so they should make a great addition to Bell Mobility's upcoming LTE network once arrive later this fall.

Did you happen to read Steve Wildstrom's set-top story today in BusinessWeek? Unfortunately, it fails to mention a few key facts.
Wildstrom segues into a discussion of CableCARDs by talking about how much he hates his Motorola hardware. He explains he's fed up because "the program guide is awful, I can't search for shows, the hard drive is too small, and the remote often fails to respond." Know what? None of those complaints has anything to do with Motorola's technology.
Motorola does not make the software that is delivered on its hardware (at least not in the U.S.), and the amount of hard drive space included is directly related to keeping the cost of the hardware down for the many, many consumers who don't want to spend more than a few bucks a month on a set-top.
Do I agree that the software interface could be better? Always room for improvement. Am I glad that retail innovation is likely to spur operators to do more with set-top UIs and even add new set-top features? Yup. But does Motorola deserve top-paragraph blame for why Mr. Wildstrom is not happy with his TV experience? No way.
Wonder if the Motorola set-tops are actually as good from a hardware perspective as I think they are? Consider that the top operators in the country (not to mention the world) have selected to deploy Motorola's hardware, including Comcast, Verizon (people love the FiOS 2.0 interface) and AT&T. Even with the bigger choice in hardware provided by CableCARDs, Comcast recently committed to a multi-year purchase agreement for next-generation Motorola set-tops. I doubt it's cause their executives enjoy sitting down to lunch with their Motorola account reps.
By the way, know who's making CableCARDs possible so consumers can have a choice about what set-tops they use? Among others, Motorola is currently shipping single-stream and multi-stream CableCARDs by the boatload.

When parents get to face the fact that their child has a learning disorder, they cannot help but ask how their child got it, why, and what caused it.
Scientists are in the process of studying the causes of learning disability (LD) as they are also in the pursuit of finding ways to prevent it.
To date, there is actually no known exact cause of learning disability amidst chasing down probable and contributing factors leading to LD. There are simply too many matters to consider before pinning down its cause with detailed accuracy.
Mental health experts stress this to parents who insist on looking at the past for reasons that could have led their child to this condition. It is strongly advised that the family accept the situation, look positively forward and help find ways to improve the child's condition instead.
Scientists once believed that all learning disabilities rooted from one specific area of the brain. Further research backed by the NIMH proved that the causes are far more complex and varied than arising from a single neurological malfunction.
Research showed that different regions of the brain encounter difficulty to piece together the information making it hard to "intellectualize" them.
A leading theory gaining popularity explains that learning disabilities emanate from slight disturbances in brain structures and functions. Oftentimes, these disturbances are believed to begin prior birth.
Errors affecting the development of fetal brain
As the fetal brain develops from a few universal cells during pregnancy, it grows into a new and complex structure known as neurons. These are billions of intricately interconnected nerve cells with specialized structures. It is during this cell evolution that things may go haywire in the developmental process that can alter or affect the formation or interconnection of the neurons.
Brain stem forms in the early pregnancy stages which controls breathing and digestion, the propellers of life. What goes to develop later is a deep ridge that separates the thinking part of the brain or cerebrum into two – the right and left brain hemispheres. Other areas follow to develop associated with the senses such as sound, sight, and those with thinking, emotion and attention.
Nerve cells grow and move to their necessary places to form brain structures forming networks along other brain parts. Information is shared through these networks transmitting them to other regions of the brain.
Development of the brain is very vulnerable to disturbances during the entire pregnancy. The fetus may not survive when disruption happens in the early stage, or if it happens to survive, the borne infant may suffer various disabilities and even mental retardation. If disturbances occur on the later stages of pregnancy where cells have started to develop accordingly, these disruptions may leave errors on cell location, connection and composition. Some scientific experts are convinced that these errors affecting fetal brain development are the culprit of learning disorders. All brain structures are present during birth.
Cracking brain development interferences
NIMH scientists and other fellow researchers are engaging in long hours studying the brain development's natural process in the hopes of understanding the complex process and structure better when disruption or irregularities arise. By gaining full understanding of the process, scientists can start to identify and pinpoint exactly where things will go wrong.
In the course of these studies, other factors are being looked into such as genetic issues, abuse of substances, problems encountered during pregnancy and harmful toxins that can affect brain development.
Genetic Issues
It is a fact that learning disabilities have a tendency to run in the family that makes it a genetic issue. Children with difficulty in reading when it comes to hearing sounds of words usually take after a parent experiencing related difficulty. But of course, the parent's difficulty already takes a different form in the child. This can be seen in a parent with a writing disorder having a child who has expressive language disorder. It goes to show that specific learning disorders are unlikely to be inherited directly. A slight brain dysfunction of a parent can lead to a child having full blown learning disability.
Aside from genetics, learning disability may actually be influenced by the environment of the family seeming the condition to be hereditary. If a parent has expressive language disorders, tendency is they do not communicate with their children well, or their language is distorted, they end up in less talk. This makes the child unable to acquire a sense of good language while growing up, making the child appear learning disabled.
Substance Abuse: Alcohol, Smokes and Drugs
Pregnant women are strongly advised not to take drugs, drink alcohol and smoke tobacco or cigarettes as these will affect the baby's health since these are directly passed onto the fetus. The U.S. Public Health Service warns against the dangers of this unhealthy practice.
Data show that mothers who smoke during pregnancy are more prone to delivering smaller babies less than 5 pounds. This little weight makes the baby susceptible to health problems. LD is one of them. Alcohol also shrinks the chances of a baby to be born normal since alcohol can distort neurons that are just starting to develop. Fetal alcohol syndrome is a result of heavy alcohol intake during pregnancy. This is a condition that causes intellectual impairment, physical defects, low birth weight and hyperactivity in a child. Alcohol can also affect the child's learning, memory and attention. It is better to steer clear from alcohol during pregnancy.
Conceiving women doing drugs especially cocaine in smoke-version called "cracks" are posing extreme dangers to their baby. These drugs can affect the development of the child's brain receptors. Research shows that drug abuse causes receptor damage. The receptors are responsible for transmitting signals to the brain from our sensory motors directing us to react to our environment. If the receptors are damaged, there is difficulty in understanding sounds, speech and letters. This makes researchers believe that learning disorders and even ADHD

Fernando Guerrero's fight against Jason Naugler on Friday in Cancun, Mexico, wasn't on any internet boxing schedules at the start of this week.
The untelevised scheduled eight-round bout is definitely under the radar, even among hardcore fans, but that doesn't bother the 25-year-old middleweight prospect.
Guerrero (21-1, 17 knockouts), who scored a fifth-round TKO of Robert Kliewer in his last bout on Dec. 10, just wants to be back into the ring. The Salisbury, Md.-based Dominican is only one fight removed from the first loss of his career – a fourth-round TKO to Grady Brewer in an ESPN2-televised junior middleweight bout last June – and he wants to extend his win streak as quickly as possible.
Guerrero isn't bothered that in Naugler (18-15-1, 11 KOs), a rugged Canadian veteran who has suffered eight straight losses, he's facing his second consecutive journeyman. His goal for the time being is to be active.
"I want to get back into the ring as soon as possible after each fight," said Guerrero, who was scheduled to appear on the undercard of the Victor Ortiz-Andre Berto rematch before the Feb. 11 card was cancelled. "I wouldn't mind getting to 30 bouts this year."
When asked when he wants to step up his level of competition, the former U.S. amateur standout immediately replied: "Anytime." Guerrero says he would fight for a major title in his next fight if such an opportunity was offered to him.
"Let's go now," he said. "I want to show the world that I'm better than these guys who are ranked ahead of me, and even those guys who have the belts. Let's fight and find out who's better. I'm not afraid to lose."
That happened against Brewer, a 40-year-old fringe contender that Guerrero, a career middleweight who had fought as heavy as 168½ pounds, believed was a safe enough to fight at junior middleweight. Guerrero, who weighed in a career-light 152½ pounds for the Friday Night Fights main event, and was quickly shown the error of his ways.
"I learned an important lesson with that fight," said Guerrero, who is now trained by Ricky Funez at the Ten Goose Boxing gym in Van Nuys, Calif., where he was helping Berto prepare for Ortiz. "You can't experiment with boxing. I was 22-0 fighting at middleweight. Why did I need to try to go down to 154 pounds? I fought at 165 pounds as an amateur. That was crazy, but now I know to go with what works.
"I don't regret the loss. Losing comes with the territory."
And if the "1" in his loss column causes future opponents to underestimate him, Guerrero says that will be their mistake.
"The titleholders who are undefeated, Dmitry Pirog and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., even the real champ Sergio Martinez, I don't view them as better than me," he said. "I don't think they train as hard as me. They aren't as hungry as I am.
"I want more than their titles. I want to go down as the best boxer ever from the Dominican Republic before I'm done with boxing."

Late 15th century (in the sense 'impute'): from French imposer, from Latin imponere 'inflict, deceive' (from in- 'in, upon' + ponere 'put'), but influenced by impositus 'inflicted' and Old French poser 'to place'.
compost from Late Middle English:
Garden compost and fruit compôte do not seem to have much in common, but they both derive from French compôte 'stewed fruit'. This comes from Old French composte, from Latin compositum 'something put together'—source of compose (Late Middle English) and decompose (mid 18th century), composition (Late Middle English), and component (mid 17th century). Compost has been used in the gardening sense since the late 16th century. The Latin word was formed from com- 'with' and the irregular verb ponere 'put, place'. From this we also get impose (Late Middle English) 'place (up)on'; oppose (Late Middle English) 'place against'; positive and posture (late 16th century); preposition (Late Middle English) something put in front, and suppose (Middle English) literally something placed from below.

[Carlisle to Jane:] "[Bree] was never taught." (25.215)
Carlisle believes that Bree is not to blame for her crimes because she didn't know any better. She was never taught to be good. The question of whether humans have to be taught to be good or whether they are good by nature presents a centuries-old philosophical debate. Where do you fall and why?

Freeway crash backs up morning commuter traffic
VERNON, Calif. Northbound lanes of a Southern California freeway were shut down at the start of the morning commute after a big-rig slammed into a stalled pickup truck, jackknifed and left its load dangling over an embankment.
No one was hurt in Tuesday's 2:20 a.m. crash on Interstate 710 at Atlantic Boulevard in Vernon.
The California Highway Patrol says three of the four northbound lanes were closed and traffic was backed up for miles until the wreckage was cleared at dawn.

I really thought that when Bent came on borad Jol had the idea of two partnerships - ie K & B and D & B that he could swap around, but the D & B bit didn't work out. So I assume Bent was 'happier' with just sitting on the bench - and hence Daffy's departure.
But surely HR would have taken (if not rung) MJ to see why he didn't play daffy with Bent? Much the same as Pav and Bent - if they can't play together then why bring Pav in in the first place? In this case, the daffy / bent thing didn't appear to work - so isn't this a lot of dosh on a hope? Hop HR knows what he's doing....
PS that talk of JG got me looking for my old THFC year book from 196? - it had that picture of JG slotting the ball home with 3 or 4 players on the ground behind him..What would you pay for a pair like Greaves and Gilzean now?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Partnership didn't gel? Are you lot nucking futz! When you got a starting partnersip that's scoring goals for fun when does your back up partnership have time to gel...they didn't play together well, because they didn't have a chance too! No manager/coach in his right mind is going to pull a winning combination off the park for the sake of an experiment; an experiment they'd hope was a hit from the off. So to judge their partnership (Bent and Daffy) as a failed one is as stupid as saying Bent and Pavy can't play together after their second time on the pitch.
Defoe a good buy? No, not this time around. I still say we needed a big crusty back to the goal centre-forward, any of the 2 and a half forwards we've got would thrive off of someone like that; to bring a another minnow-sized striker into the fold just doesn't make much sense to me.
But...Greaves and Gilzean...ahhhhhh (turn back the clock, please!)

Richa replaces Andrea in Selva's Erandam Ulagam
It is reported that Selvaraghavan had roped in Andrea Jeremiah for the movie Erandam Ulagam much before he started Aayirathil Oruvan. But the actress had walked out of the project in the middle over some unknown reason. Although Selva tried to stop her, the actress did not yield to his requests.
Later, Selvaraghavan contacted Richa Gangopadhyay for the heroine in his film Erandam Ulagam. He tried to convince her about the situation and requested her to act alongside his brother Dhanush. Richa has reportedly accepted his offer and is now busy shooting for the movie.

International Air Travel and Greenhouse Gas Emissions: A Proposal for an Adaptation Levy
Benito Müller

Cameron J. Hepburn
London School of Economics, Grantham Research Institute
World Economy, Vol. 33, Issue 6, pp. 830-849, June 2010
Greenhouse gas emissions from international aviation services have been increasing rapidly and are likely to continue to do so in the absence of major policy changes. At the same time, while all countries will experience impacts from climate change, developing countries are the most vulnerable. Significant financial assistance for adaptation is therefore needed for developing countries, but current proposals are inadequate. Solutions to the challenges of both aviation greenhouse gas emissions and climate change adaptation finance are thus urgently required. This paper proposes an international air travel adaptation levy that addresses both problems.
