Throughout my high school career, I wasn't what one would call a Science Whiz. Most of 9th grade Earth Science was spent passing notes with my lab partner. My favorite (extra credit!) project in 10th grade Biology was when I sculpted lungs . . . out of spice cake! And 11th grade Chemistry? The only thing I remember from that class is a cute boy.
However, 12th grade Physics was amazing! I was fortunate to have had a very gifted teacher who, if he had wanted to, could have made trimming toenails seem like the most exciting thing on the planet. I learned stuff that year. A lot of stuff I never even knew I was interested in learning about, and declared physics my favorite class (even over Art and English, which is saying a lot!). With such fond memories of learning science, I couldn't wait to introduce the boys to basic Physics concepts. Sledding, our favorite winter activity, seemed like a great place to begin!
Newton's First Law of Motion
The Law of Inertia states that an object at rest, will stay at rest, until acted upon by an outside force.
Ask your child: What do you think will happen if no one pushes your sled?
Show your child: Refrain from pushing his sled for a moment. Demonstrate that unless an outside force (you) pushes it, it won't go anywhere. Next, push his sled and watch him fly!
Likewise, The Law of Inertia also states that an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force that causes a change in velocity.
Ask your child: Can you think of some reasons why your sled would stop moving?
Tell your child: Crashing into a tree will stop your sled. Thick, rough snow "off your path" adds friction and will cause your sled to slow down or stop. And yes, colliding with your brother will also cause you to stop moving!
Friction is defined as resistance to movement between two objects that are in contact with each other. There is typically less friction between smooth surfaces.
Ask your child: Do you think your sled would go faster on the ice, or the snow? Why?
Show your child: Let him test his theory (under supervision).
Gravity is the attraction between two objects that occupy space and have mass.
Tell your child: Gravity is the force that pulls us down and keeps our feet on the ground. Gravity pulls your sled down the hill!
Show your child: Toss a snowball up into the air. What happens? You'll see gravity (and Newton's Third Law of Motion) in action!
Teaching children science doesn't have to be boring and straight from a text-book. My teacher from high school made physics fun because he showed his students how to apply it in simple, every day activities – like sledding. I can't wait to teach Colin and Owen more about everyday science and then maybe, just maybe, I will be brave enough to dive into math (my worst subject, ever!).

Santa Barbara City College Student Wins Poker Tournament
A 19-year-old Santa Barbara City College student from Sweden hit the jackpot in the central coast Fall Poker Classic.
A 19-year-old Santa Barbara City College student from Sweden hit the jackpot in the central coast Fall Poker Classic. Linus Dahlstroem's winning streak happened on Saturday at the Chumash Casino and Resort. The No Limit Texas Hold'em tournament started at 9 in the morning with 542 players in the Samala Showroom. After 12 hours of poker, Dahlstroem agreed to split the 51 thousand dollars in remaining prize money with his nine competitors. The finance major walked away from the tournament with a little over 10 thousand dollars, as the other nine competitors left with amounts as little as 3 thousand 6 hundred dollars. The champion says it is his biggest win so far. Two Santa Barbara women, Shari Schubot and Leslie Grodin, reached the final table which casino officials say is rare in their large tournaments. Just this year the poker world has seen a huge influx of women battling for the title of champion. Chumash Casino and Resort's gaming floor is open 24/7 and has daily cash and prize giveaways.

Murray States Isaiah Canaan came into the season with a reputation as one of the top guards in the country.
You might want to add Colorados Askia Booker to that list, as well.
Booker scored a career-high 23 points and Andre Roberson added 16 points and nine rebounds to lead Colorado past Murray State, 81-74. in the championship game of The Charleston Classic Sunday night at TD Arena.
Booker was named the tournaments most valuable player and showed off his entire skill set against the Racers in the championship game.
Despite Canaans reputation, Booker didnt view his match-up with the Racers guard as a personal battle.
Its not about me and him, Booker said.
After a back-and-forth first half, the Buffaloes used a 10-0 run to open up a 52-45 lead with 10:06 left on Josh Scotts layup.
The Racers (3-1) answered with a 7-0 run of their own highlighted by Dexter Fields 3-pointer with 8:05 left in the game to tie the game at 52-52.
Colorado (4-0) took control of the game with a 11-1 run over the next three minutes and grabbed a 63-53 lead on Bookers 3-pointer with 5:03 left in the game.
Colorado guard Spencer Dinwiddie had 14 points and helped seal the victory, going 11 of 12 from the free throw line. Josh Scott had 13 points and six rebounds for the Buffaloes.
Canaan finished with 21 points, but missed a large chunk of the second half with foul trouble.
After scoring 15 points in the first half, it took Canaan almost 17 minutes to score his first basket in the second half.
Forward Ed Daniel added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Racers, while Dexter Fields had 18 points. Murray State guard Stacy Wilson, a native of Mullins, had an off night shooting and finished with eight points.

A term that originated out of the common mistreatment and social ostracism of redheaded individuals (gingers). A redheaded individual born into(legitamately or not), or adopted into a family of non-redheads was typically subject to physical and emotional abuse, and usually short handed when it came to financial matters in the family, such as the estate or any savings the family had acquired. Today, the term can be applied to an individual or group of individuals who are outcasts, or are typically dealt the worst hand in society.

Michelle autographs skates for auction to benefit the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization.
Sotnikova on the other hand was way more than a 1/4 turn short, and that's why she should have clearly been downgraded.
If anything I was elated for Sotnikova, given the criticism and haters she's had in the past, including certain people who used to call her a headcase or who thought she would embarrass herself in Sochi.
But that is exactly what this sport is, isn't it? It's the sport of the moment.
Like music, the performance lived with us throughout the time it was performing. While the music was playing/the skater was performing, we experimented moment and drew from that our feelings and judgments.
It will not be the same when we watch it ten/hundred times latter just to prove which point should be deducted and which point should be awarded.
Anyway, let's open a new topic now, about what Cousins did or din't say.
Maybe it's not clear enough, I thought it was. I don't give a damn about who won in Sochi.All you have to do is slow it down and freeze when her foot touches the ice. It's almost 100% rotated (75% is the cutoff) and her upper body is about 1/8 short.
Sotnikova on the other hand was way more than a 1/4 turn short, and that's why she should have clearly been downgraded.
I was rooting for Asada. As her fan and after Vancouver I wanted her to win.
Anyway, my two cents about ladies even. I didn't like very much the top three ladies programs, except Carolina's SP which I thought was beautiful, but they all skated very well, in both programs.
I think Karolina should've won the Sp, I didn't like at all her LP. Adelina skated very well (didn't care much about her programs tbh).
I did like Kim's SP, I thought her LP was a snoozefest but she skated very well.
So, in the end, I thought Kim won based on the overall performace in both programs.
It didn't happened. Amen.
This is the exact moment her blade touches the ice. You can see the skate is 99% rotated, and her upper body is about 1/8 short.
Can someone please post now freeze frames of all the body and arm movements, even the smiles, that Yuna did? All of them, so we can go on till S.Korea 2018 and judge the interpretation.

Management consulting specialist Accenture (NYSE: ACN ) has a new bean counter.
The Dublin, Ireland-based consultant announced today that David P. Rowland has taken on the role of CFO effective immediately, succeeding Pamela J. Craig in the position, as she will retire from the company on Aug. 31. The company announced Rowland's appointment back in March.
Rowland, 52, has 30 years of experience at Accenture, and most recently served as senior VP of finance, with global responsibility for the consultant's finance operations. He is also a member of Accenture's global management committee.
After thanking Craig for her 34-year career with the company, Pierre Nanterme, Accenture's chairman and CEO, said in a statement: "David clearly has the financial and operational experience, as well as the leadership capabilities, to excel as Accenture's CFO. I am confident that he will be an outstanding successor to Pam and will move seamlessly into his new role."
Accenture also announced that Richard P. Clark has been appointed chief accounting officer, effective Sept. 1, in addition to his current position as corporate controller. Previously Clark served as Accenture's senior managing director of investor relations and held executive positions in several Accenture business areas. A CPA, Clark will continue to report to Rowland.

Chicken/Broccoli Pie2012-09-03
- Servings : 5
- Prep Time : 0m
- Cook Time : 5m
- Ready In : 0m
NOTE: It\'s only the filling that contains dairy…by replacing it with a favorite filling of your choice you can easily make this one totally dairy free!
Pre-heat the oven to about 350F.
I started by doing the crust. Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix them until it's a very thick paste/dough.
Form the dough into a ball and place in the middle of a greased pie pan, and then press it out until it covers the bottom and edges.
Then, using a fork, make a few holes in the dough.
Place in the oven and pre-bake for 20 minutes.
When done, take it out of the oven and increase the temperature to about 390F.
(Note: The dough rises quite a bit in the oven…make sure the crust is in a very thin layer before pre-baking.)
While the crust is pre-baking, prepare the fillings:
Cut the chicken and sun dried tomatoes into small pieces, and slice the onion.
Fry it in butter or olive oil with a bit of salt and pepper until it has got a nice color.
In a bowl, beat the eggs, cream, salt and black pepper.
Then spread the chicken/tomato/onion mix and the grated cheese evenly over the crust.
Pour over the egg/cream mixture and make sure it fills up every little cavity to bind it all together, and then place the broccoli on top.
Put it back in the oven and bake for another 30-40 minutes (should have a really nice color by then).
NOTE: If you have questions or comments you wish me to respond to, please post them at the original post at the blog: http://strictlypaleoish.wordpress.com/2012/04/30/chickenbroccoli-pie/
- Crust:
- 3 cups Almond Meal., 3 Eggs, 4 tbsp Olive or Walnut Oil, 3/8 tsp Baking Powder..
- Filling:
- 2 Chicken Breasts, 1 Onion, A few Sun Dried Tomatoes, 1 head of Broccoli, 1 cup grated flavorful Cheese, 3 Eggs, 1 1/4 cup Cream, 1/2 tsp Salt, 1 tsp crushed Black Pepper.

This was tasty. The crust held together very nicely and was not soggy. I cooked it 20-30 minutes longer though to get a quiche consistency. I will cut the crust recipe in half next time and maybe just cover the bottom. The pie was too filling with crust sides. I will replace the sun dried tomatos with mushrooms. And I would blanch the broccoli and add it after 15 minutes of the pie baking.
A keeper all the way around.
Do you think this would work with coconut flour?
This was great! I would cut the crust in 1/2 too, but keep the same amount of filling, it was so yummy! I would make this for a small get-together!
I agree that the crust needs to be cut in half. However, now I have a crumble to add to yogurt, granola or whatever else I can think of. I'm going to try it with apple sauce, nuts and cinnamon.
Cheese and Cream? in a paleo recipe?
I was about 1/2 cup short of almond meal so I added coconut flour as a replacement. I used frozen broccoli and I had to add about 20 mins onto the cooking time. I also added garlic…it was delicious.

Oneida County didn't report complete primary election results until Friday because results from 20 percent of the districts were missing. "There was a problem with missing memory cards," said Pamela Mandryck, the county's Republican election commissioner.
Mandryck said election inspectors failed to remove the cards from the machines when polls closed Tuesday. She said the numbers had to be pulled off results tapes when the machines were returned to the county, and entered manually.
The information came to light in a story about Matt Doheny's lead over Doug Hoffman narrowed to 582 votes today in the 23rd Congressional District after Oneida County reported its full results.
The news worries one syracuse.com user, litfuel, who said:
"I don't know if I like the idea of these 'memory cards' floating around...seems like they could easily be altered by anyone with computer knowledge."

Mon. 8:19pm: Anti-Frac campout, festival planned for weekend
August 19, 2013
GARRETTSVILLE - Some 500 opponents of hydraulic fracturing from the United States and Canada will gather this weekend for an outdoor music and educational festival planned for a Portage County......
Weird that it's been going on since the 70's, but no widespread stories of poisoned water. The movies against it are funded by Arabs from the Middle East. EPA just found no evidence of contamination in a recent investigation. Let's kill our economy to keep 50 local career partiers happy. lol

If it's an education festival, then surely there must be a showing of the "Fracknation" documentary to get the truth about fracking. And this may be news to these ostriches, but there are over 20 foreign countries that are using American developed fracking technologies to exploit their shale deposits. They securing their energy independence from the middle east cartels. We should too.

FamilyGuy, Nobody is paying their "expenses" except for the people themselves, you jerk. Why is it so difficult for some of you conspiracy theorists to believe that there are still people in this country who stand up for what they believe in without being paid or financed to do it, unlike the right wing ALEC sheep?
To prove my point, check into how many real people, not corps, gave campaign money to the GOP during the last election. Far more real people contributed to the Democrats than to the GOP. Democrats individually make things happen whereas Republicans let corporations foot the bill for their candidates.

Jesse Spector at the Daily News takes a look at the possibilites of New York hosting the 2012 Winter Classic…
"The SportsBusiness Journal reported Tuesday that while the late-December Pinstripe Bowl has eliminated Yankee Stadium from being considered to host the NHL's annual New Year's showcase, there are no scheduling conflicts to "hurt the chances of Citi Field or New Meadowlands Stadium…There might be more difficulty in sending the Giants and Jets on the road simultaneously at the end of the season, but such a situation would not be impossible to solve if the Meadowlands is selected."
…yesterday Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy asked his readers where they think next year's Winter Classic should be and who should be in it. My answere was the New Meadowlands with the Rangers taking on the Montreal Canadiens.
…i know most of us would love the Rangers to take on the Islanders or Devils but that would be a ratings disaster for the NHL. Two original six teams in the largest media market I think would be hugely successful. The only other team that would also work ratings wise would be the Kings. But there is no rivaly there, so I don't think there would be that much hype.
…what are your thoughts?

American Airlines-US Airways hearing: The comments of Judiciary Committee chairman Bob Goodlatte
We're posting comments from Tuesday's hearing before the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform, Commercial and Antitrust Law to discuss the American Airlines-US Airways merger.
Here is the statement, written and oral, by the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Virginia:
"In a free market economy like ours, companies are generally free to organize themselves and their assets as they see fit –including by merger. There is nothing wrong per se with mergers, even if they form large companies.
"The preservation of free and fair competition, however, is critical to a free market. Competition spurs innovation and ensures that the market allocates resources efficiently. It benefits consumers and fosters economic growth. Because a free market cannot flourish without competition, a merger that decreases competition can undermine a free market.
"Thus, antitrust laws set important limits on companies' freedom to merge with one another. Specifically, Section 7 of the Clayton Act prohibits mergers that 'substantially lessen competition' or 'tend to create a monopoly.' This is meant to strike a balance between companies' freedom to organize their affairs while preserving the competition that is essential to a healthy free market.
"Recently, two of the remaining four 'legacy carriers' in the U.S. airline industry – American Airlines (which has been in Chapter 11 bankruptcy since late 2011) and US Airways – announced plans to merge. The resulting entity would be called American Airlines but would be led by US Air's chief executive officer.
"Pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, the Department of Justice must review this proposed merger to determine if it is anticompetitive. This is a highly technical inquiry, and the Department should be guided purely by the facts and the law – not by politics or ideology.
"The basic question the department should seek to answer is how this merger's impacts on competition would affect consumer welfare. Congress has an oversight responsibility to ensure that the Department of Justice conducts its merger reviews in a thorough, fair and reasonably prompt fashion.
"The department should ask whether the merger would enable American to raise ticket prices, or raise other ancillary fees or reduce services, on particular routes, especially routes currently served by both airlines. It should ask whether there is sufficient competition on these routes, such as from low-cost carriers, to keep a post-merger American Airlines in competitive check. It also should ask whether, post-merger, a new carrier would move into a route served by American and begin to compete.
"To put it mildly, the airline industry has changed a great deal since it was deregulated in 1978. New airlines with new business models have sprung up to serve consumers. Other airlines have gone bankrupt. Some of the latter have returned from bankruptcy, others have merged, and others have failed altogether.
"In the last five years, the House Judiciary Committee has held hearings on two major airline mergers: Delta-Northwest in 2008 and United-Continental in 2010.
"Five major airlines – United, Delta, American, US Air and Southwest – now control an estimated 80% of the domestic market. If this merger goes through, that number will decline to four. Should this be the 'last merger' in the airline industry—so far and no farther? Would allowing this merger finally strike the right balance between competition and the cyclical bankruptcies that have occurred in the industry recently?
"A major concern anytime there is fluctuation in the airline industry is how smaller airports, which depend heavily on routes to and from larger hubs, would be affected. For travelers leaving from my district, the airport in Charlotte, N.C., is a major hub destination, and US Air has invested heavily in Charlotte. Would American maintain or even expand this and other hubs post-merger?
"It is by no means clear that this merger would have all or any of the negative effects that an airline merger can produce. American and US Air maintain that their routes are mostly complimentary, not overlapping, and that the merger will enhance competition by giving the current fourth- and fifth-largest airlines a stronger position from which to compete with the other three.
"Congress has no formal role in the Department of Justice's merger review process. Congressional hearings, however, provide important public venues to ask, debate and identify possible answers to these questions, which are of great importance. Rather than rushing to judgment, my hope is that everyone involved will take care to evaluate the evidence and do what is best for competition and consumers.
"I look forward to the testimony of the witnesses, the debate among the members of the Subcommittee, and, in the end, a wise decision by the Department of Justice that ensures a competitive future for the airline industry and protects the welfare of American travelers."

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: lawman
In short, the scope of issues on which I can contribute meaningfully is rather small at the moment.
I've been thinking of subscribing to the Supporter's forum, but frankly, I'm not sure I have a right to do so yet. I mean, I know I would get my money's worth out of the other posts in there, but everyone says the Supporter's forum is much more valuable and accurate information. Seeing as how I have so little to contribute, do I have any business in the Supporter's forum?
Looking forward to honest replies from those who are already members over there.
One is simply to give back to Brett et al. for the benefits I've received from all of the forums. Another is that some of the "big hitters" are more likely to post on the private side. Yet another is that a lot of posters there are a little more open about their views and practices; that helps you to better evaluate their public postings.
Finally, I second bakedjake--I think the quality of your posts are above the norm, so any feelings of inadequacy in that regard are unfounded IMHO. :)
See, its called the supporters forum, not the how much do you know forum. ;) If that were the case, then I would understand your hesitation.
I suggest that you go for it.
There is very little (infact its discouraged) code related posting in the supporters forum.
Don't worry about not being in the know. If nothing, people like me and you provide the others some entertainment... and learn a little bit along the way. ;)

It gets stated on a few occasions "in there" that the best place to post most stuff is "out here" (which it most often is).
I was also told (before I paid) that you get a little better response from some of the gurus when they know you are a financial supporter (but I have no way of quantifying this).
Ask yourself "How much value have I got from this forum" and I think you'll agree it's worth the admission price.

I see fewer killer threads there these days than I did a year ago but I no longer need to look for an ROI - I like being part of the community.
>>Seeing as how I have so little to contribute
IMHO what's ideal is to take what you need wherever you find it, and give back wherever you can be of most help in giving to others. Regardless of where it is, it's still all one.
>>Looking forward to honest replies
The honest reply from my viewpoint is that based on what you've posted you can probably contribute the most value to others by helping out with what you have solid knowledge of on "the outside" which IMHO is also the best place for getting into the rock-bottom basics in other areas - as you mentioned, SEO. Things like coding, HTML, CSS - there are specialized forums out here with a lot of enthusiastic, helpful and capable members. But look at the other side of the coin - contributing to others can take many forms.
>>do I have any business in the Supporter's forum?
Things like how many times a keyword should be repeated in a page title some people have infinite patience for, but things like that are <yawn> for most people who have been around for a while. Good discussion on that right now in the Google forum. BUT - reading, absorbing and asking well thought out, thought-provoking questions - always interesting for people, anyplace at all and everyone can learn from those and enjoy them no matter how long they've been around. Also - people have insights and wisdom in other areas by reason of life experience and can always contribute their thoughts to the collective wisdom.
There's no such thing as a magic wand or the world handed over on a platter anyplace for anything, but for anyone who has plans or the desire to be serious about business and make money, IMHO it's a solid experience.
There can be a noob who couldn't get a listing on his refrigerator if he had a magnet, much less Google or Yahoo, but six months down the road if he sticks around he will be able to. And by then he'll need the business sense to monetize it. It's a matter of people properly monetizing their time - and being in an environment surrounded by those with the capacity, there's a certain amount that's picked up by simple absorption.
Others with no such interest may be happier in FOO. ;)
Basically, my concern was that I would "water down" the overall quality of the Supporter's Forum. I didn't want to be responsible for causing other people to get a worse perceived value, particularly when I've seen remarks like "less newbie questions in there." But you've all helped me to the point that I now believe I could belong over there - just as soon as I can get the membership fee! ;)
Thanks again everyone.
Bah. Sign up and see the good stuff we don't post out here. You're not likely to get the silver bullets to your problems but you'll get a fancy two gun rig, with pearl handles and leather holsters plus a few lessons on how to shoot.

I think the supporters tend to be a little more generous with each other than they would be outside, because we're all trying to keep this wonderful resource going. Judging from the quality of your posts, I think you'd be an excellent addition to the membership. Hoping you can swing the fee soon. Looking forward to seeing you there.
The calibre of this site's users is, on average, unimaginably high. The issues raised and discussed here are cutting edge. The depth of collective experience is unparalleled and unique. Opinions and advice are given freely, and with enthusiasm, expecting nothing in return.
During the evolution of the site, a code of conduct and MO have emerged which, in effect, make this site the gold standard for how a forum site should be run.
All this is free of charge.
The reason I subscribe is that I want to help make sure the site is still online tomorrow, and that the moderators have the required resource to keep it going.
I am just an average Joe webmaster. My range of experience is not extraordinary. But when I come across an issue that I can contribute to, I like to take the time to do so - even if it simply means that a more knowledgeable person is freed to think about & answer something more complicated.
Also, if you are paying for something, you are more likely to come back and use it, and seek to get the most value out of it. This means you will keep coming back to use and contribute to the site, which is in everyone's interest.

Of all the ideas to be on display at the Amarillo Museum of Art Alliance Recycle Art Festival, one really stands out to me.
It's not the giant balls made of discarded stuffed animals.
It's not the mannequins made of steel, nor the night lights made of cheese graters.
It's not even the place mats made of old newspaper delivery bags.
Well, really, it's all of them, and more — the bigger idea behind the use of found objects in making art.
Sculptor Kent Maris put it best to me when we spoke Monday about his work, which turns old car parts into sculpture.
"You get to borrow from the stored memory of the piece," Maris said. "Everyone has a connection to certain items — their memories and their connections and their relation to it — and I get to kind of borrow that when I repurpose materials."
I just love that idea and, indeed, that's a style of art that I've been drawn to for a while.
A good example of it is on view now at Process Art House, 700 S. Van Buren St., in Carlos Cuevas' "Panhandle Gothic," which repurposes everything from old sewing patterns to Homies plastic figurines.
A couple of works had what appeared to be panels from an old Spanish romance comic, reminding me of a print I just framed at home of Roy Lichtenstein's "Thinking of Him," a glorious piece of pop art.
Maris said the recycled or found-object art is so appealing because "everybody has a little bit of a creative spirit."
"When they come into a venue like this and see things constructed out of recycled items, it just keeps their creative juices flowing. It gets their minds flowing in a different way," Maris said. "It gets them thinking in different ways about some of the things that they throw away or discard."
Look-alike contest
Don't forget about our pet contest currently going on at facebook.com/getoutamarillo.
We're looking for pets and owners who appear separated at birth, so if you're brave enough to acknowledge that you and your Shih Tzu are doppelgangers, head there now and post a shot.
The pet and owner with the most likes will get prizes from select Amarillo Globe-News advertisers, and we'll publish their photo in our April 6 issue.
Voting runs through Sunday. The photos also will be entered into a Spotted gallery for another chance to win.
In the April 6 issue, we'll also be looking at ways you can get out and enjoy the town with your pet.
Got any ideas? Let me know.

She was by far the most popular of the goddesses; the worship of Isis stretched far into Asia Minor and she was also a very popular deity in ancient Greece and Rome. Today she is still worshipped by the Amazons formerly of Bana-Mighdall. Isis' most famous feat is putting together and reviving her dismembered husband and brother Osiris. In modern times, she helped rebuild the Themiscyra after its destruction in the Imperiex war. Isis' symbols are cow's horns and a solar disc.

If it hadnt been for the inaugural Charleston Bluegrass Festival on Saturday, Keith Luckie probably would have gone to the movies. He was really glad he didnt.
We were going to see The Hunger Games. This or The Hunger Games? This won out and I have no regrets, said Luckie, who came with his two sons, Garris, 9, and Fuller, 7, and about six friends.
Im a big music fan. Its great weather and were having a good time, added Luckie, as his sons, sitting nearby, polished off two massive Sno-cones.
The inaugural Charleston Bluegrass Festival, which started Friday, lucked out in its own way. Rare rain and cold on Thursday yielded to the sun and rising temperatures Friday and the gorgeous spring weather returned in full on Saturday.
Hundreds of people streamed in and out of the grounds behind Sewee Outpost in Awendaw to hear both bluegrass and bluegrass-tinged music in the event, which was organized by Surf Bars Perry Darby, Awendaw Greens Eddie White and Sewee Outposts Brooks Geer.
Darby, a longtime bluegrass fan, has dreamed about holding a bluegrass festival in Charleston for years.
Charleston is a great destination and there was no reason it shouldnt have its own bluegrass festival, said Darby, who was inspired by regular attendance of MerleFest, a major bluegrass festival held in North Carolina in late April every year.
The Charleston Bluegrass Festival, Darby added, will be one of two that the group of men wants to put on every year. The other they hope to call Halfway to MerleFest and hold it sometime in the fall, possibly October.
Both Friday and Saturday, local bands including the teacher troupe of Gravel Road Acoustic Trio joined others from regional music hot spots, including Nashville, Athens and Asheville for the two-day festival. The event went deep into the night both Friday and Saturday.
The recent passing of bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs was noted by several of the performers. The band, Town Mountain, played a short tribute to him on Friday night.
White, who holds barn jams every Wednesday night at the adjacent Awendaw Green, was pleased with the turnout at the inaugural festival.
Its so great to see parents and kids of all ages just enjoying being outside, listening to music on a beautiful spring day, said White. After the Bridge Run, everyone was so worn out that people just want to sit in chairs and do next to nothing.

It took Mauro Gomez a mere two swings to supply the Buffalo Bisons with all the offense they needed.
Gomez hit a pair of homers to offset a chilly night at the plate for the team overall while entertaining the sellout crowd of 18,025 at Coca-Cola Field with a thrilling 6-3 victory over the Durham Bulls on Star Wars Night.
Gomez broke a 3-all tie in the eighth inning with a three-run shot to left-center off loser Will Inman (0-2) after tying the game in the sixth with a two-run blast against Western New York native Steve Geltz. Gomes nearly was robbed of that homer by center fielder Brandon Guyer.
"I felt good, I tried to get a good pitch and I did," Gomez said. "I hit the ball very well and I helped the team win."
It was the fourth multi-homer game for Gomez, who leads the International League with 21.
"He's always in the middle of the order and a guy that pitchers in this league are scared of and rightfully so," Bisons manager Marty Brown said. "He's got power to all fields and when he's hot, he's hot."
Neither home run was majestic, but there was some drama on Gomez's first in the sixth inning. Gomez hit a shot to the wall in center as Guyer went to retrieve it. Guyer leaped and Coca-Cola Field grew silent after Guyer landed on the warning track. Guyer glanced in his glove saw that nothing was there and the stadium waited a beat before celebrating Gomez's two-run homer that tied the game at 3.
"He also made a good play, but thank God to give me that home run and we tied the game," Gomez said. "To be honest I thought it was going to be an easy fly out. Maybe the wind helped me but I'll take it. Home run."
The runs proved to be crucial for the Bisons who were limited to four hits. The Bisons couldn't touch starter Cory Wade, who got the nod on a bullpen day for the Bulls.
Wade sat down the first 11 Bisons he faced in 3∏ innings while striking out two and walking Gomez, the last man he faced. Only two balls, one by Mike Nickeas to center and another to left by Anthony Gose, left the infield. Adam Liberatore came on and ended the fourth with a strikeout.
Geltz, the University at Buffalo's career leader in saves, came in for Liberatore in the sixth after Jose Reyes, who went 2 for 4 in the game, reached on an infield hit then stole second to move in scoring position. Reyes scored on a single by Kevin Pillar. Then Gomez tied it with one swing.
"We just had to battle and scrap to get a couple of runners on for Gomez," Brown said. "He kind of was our offense."
The Bulls had runners on the corners in the third inning as the Bisons were seeking to trade a run for a double play.
Tim Beckham hit a hard shot to Jim Negrych, who back-handed the ball cleanly. He opted to fire home but his throw was high and bounced off the glove of catcher Nickeas as a run scored. Guyer later scored on a double play and Durham led, 2-0.
Durham remained quiet until the sixth, and for the remainder of the night, when Chris Gimenez turned on an inside fastball by Chad Jenkins and parked into left field for his first home run of the season and a 3-0 Durham lead.
Reyes, down from Toronto on a rehab assignment, said there could be a decision as early as Monday on whether he returns to the Blue Jays. He said he will likely DH today after playing shortstop on Saturday.
"If I get on base again I'm going to put pressure on my ankle to try and steal because that's going to be my game when I go back up to the big leagues," he said. "I don't like to DH because I don't want to be in the dugout for several innings. I like to be loose, but that's the plan that they have."

Schools to Offer Free Classes Online
Twelve top universities Tuesday joined a venture that offers free Internet courses world-wide, in a bet by some of the most prestigious institutions globally on online education.
The schools agreed to join four others already working with Coursera, a for-profit company founded by two Stanford University computer-science professors. The schools will offer 111 mainly introductory courses this school year, including Galaxies and Cosmology, Equine Nutrition and Contraception: Choice, Cultures and Consequences.
"It gets us one step closer to where anyone in the world can have connection to the best universities and access to the best professors," said Andrew Ng, who co-founded Coursera with fellow professor Daphne Koller.
Initially, the Coursera classes won't be offered for credit, though some schools might choose to award certificates for completion. Anyone with Internet access can register for a class.
In most cases, the courses consist of video recordings of lectures, which are paused about every 10 minutes for a quiz to measure understanding. Students have homework as well as midyear and final assessments, graded by their peers based on a rubric created by the professor. The courses also have online forums where students can chat.
The schools signing on include the California Institute of Technology; Duke University; the Georgia Institute of Technology; Johns Hopkins University; Rice University; the University of California, San Francisco; the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; the University of Washington; and the University of Virginia—where the battle over launching online courses played a role in the ouster of President Teresa Sullivan.
Ms. Sullivan resigned last month under pressure from the school's board, which said she was too slow to embrace online learning. Her ouster prompted faculty and student protests, and she was later reinstated.
Also joining are the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, the University of Toronto and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland.
The University of Michigan, Princeton, Stanford and the University of Pennsylvania already offer courses through Coursera, mostly to non-U.S. students.
The universities develop the courses and Coursera provides the online platform. Neither party pays the other, but Coursera officials said they are seeking revenue streams to share with the schools. They are exploring selling corporate recruiters the names of students who excel in their coursework, for instance. Coursera has about $22 million in financing, from some of the schools involved and venture-capital firms.
Colleges have offered classes and degrees online for years, but few have done so without charging. Other players in the field of free online education include edX, a joint venture between Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The founders of Coursera said they intend to keep classes free, but they said some universities might choose to charge a fee for a bolstered version of an online course that would earn students credit. Officials from the University of Washington have already said they plan to do so.
Dave Szatmary, vice provost of educational outreach at the University of Washington, said the decision to join Coursera allows the school to meet its "mission to provide broad access to a world-class institution." He said the faculty reaction to the school's participation has been "varied" but added the school would ensure that every course offered on Coursera would be "high quality and innovative."
Proponents say online education could expand access to students world-wide and eventually help drive down higher-education costs, if the effort takes off and more schools sign on to offer for-credit classes. They also say it could boost lackluster completion rates because online students learn at their own pace and aren't tied to specific course times at specific locations.
Critics worry online education waters down the classroom experience. Shanna Smith Jaggars, who studies online higher education as part of the Community College Research Center at Columbia University's Teachers College, said studies show that those taking courses online do no better than traditional students, and at the community-college level, online students are more inclined to drop out of classes. "These courses might be great for certain highly motivated students, but the typical student needs personal interaction and support and encouragement from the teacher," she said.
Molly Corbett Broad, president of the American Council on Education, a Washington-based advocacy group that represents university executives, praised the effort. "We are in an increasingly competitive global economy that requires a continual process of raising educational attainment to keep your job or get a better job and this is an important experiment that can help achieve those goals."

J Barker's Recommendations
HI 252 Modern American History
He is the most awesome teacher you could possibly have for history! He is never boring- He will tell stories and joke around for about half an hour and then teach for the rest of class. You can get out of writing the 5 page paper if you can name everything in the class and where they're from. He gives lots of extra credit, and will do whatever it takes to help pull up your grade. There's one midterm and then a final, with a few quizzes in between.
HI 252 Modern American History
Professor explains the material in a friendly method, doesn't devolve into lecture every class period. Gives lots of extra credit chances, and is lenient on papers and tests. Really gets to know you as a person, great for freshmen.
HI 252 Modern American History
Best teacher I have had so far. He really cares about his students and if you want an A in his class and you show him this it's very easy. He is entertaining and really teacher a lot of vauable lessons outside of history. I enjoyed him so much I'm taking one of his classes next year.
HI 252 Modern American History
Greatest teacher ever.
HI 252 Modern American History
Dr. Barker is the most interesting and insightful professor I have ever had. Even though the class is large, he learned everyone's name, met with everyone individually to get to know them, and made sure that everyone received the help they needed to succeed in his class. His lectures are a combination of student participation and instruction. We had two field trips, one being mandatory. We had several papers to write and two major exams. The exams are challenging but fair. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Barker!

FAU Frontiers in Science Public Lecture Series Presents 'The Chemistry of New Materials for Computer Chips'
BOCA RATON, Fla. (January 22, 2013) – Florida Atlantic University's Charles E. Schmidt College of Science will present a lecture by Lisa McElwee-White, Ph.D. as part of the 2013 Frontiers in Science public lecture series, titled "The Chemistry of New Materials for Computer Chips." The lecture will take place on Friday, Jan. 25 at 3:30 p.m. in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, Room 126, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus.
McElwee-White is the Colonel Allan R. and Margaret G. Crow Term Professor and the director of the NSF-CCI Center for Nanostructured Electronic Materials at the University of Florida.
"As feature sizes on computer chips become smaller and smaller, new material and manufacturing techniques become necessary," said McElwee-White. "Several interesting methods involve synthesizing material in place by running chemical reactions on the wafer during chip processing. I will discuss the changing materials requirements, strategies for placement of the materials on the chip and the development of chemical reactions for chip manufacture."
McElwee-White earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Kansas, and a doctorate in chemistry from the California Institute of Technology. Her research interests include the application of organometallic chemistry in catalysis and materials science. She has authored 119 publications, and has presented 150 invited lectures.
The lecture is free and open to the public, and is sponsored by the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and supported by FAU's Lifelong Learning Society Endowed Professorship in Science. Printing and mailing of lecture series materials are made possible by a Warren Lloyd Holtzman Seed Grant, a component fund of the Community Foundation of the New River Valley.

Downsize in 3D, Supersize in 1D: Effects of the Dimensionality of Package and Portion Size Changes on Size Estimations, Consumption, and Quantity Discount Expectations
Pierre Chandon
Nailya Ordabayeva
Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) - Department of Marketing Management
July 17, 2008
INSEAD Working Paper No. 2008/46/MKT
Understanding consumer response to product supersizing and downsizing is an important issue for policy makers, consumer researchers and marketers. In three laboratory experiments the authors found that changes in size appear smaller when products change in all three dimensions (height, width, and length) than when they change in only one dimension. Specifically, they showed that a) size estimations follow an inelastic power function of the actual size of the products; b) size estimations are even less elastic when size changes in 3D than when it changes in 1D; and c) the effect of dimensionality is not reduced by making size information available. As a result, consumers expect (and marketers offer) steeper quantity discounts when packages and portions are supersized in 3D than when they are supersized in 1D; consumers pour more product into and out of conical containers (in which volume changes in 3D) than cylindrical containers (in which volume changes in 1D); and consumers are more likely to supersize and less likely to downsize when package and portion sizes change in 1D than when they change in 3D.

A 22-year old from Driffield has completed his transformation from a civilian into a Royal Navy sailor during a 10 week intensive training course at HMS Raleigh in Cornwall.
From day one, trainee Engineer Technician (Weapons Engineering (Submarines) Rory Tanton has been put through his paces, undertaking a series of physical and mental challenges in order to reach the essential standards required by every member of the Naval Service.
The former student of Driffield School was a farmer before joining the Service.
He said: "I joined the Royal Navy for a good career and for the opportunities in sport.
"The training has been brilliant and the highlights for me were HMS Havoc, the sinking ship simulator, which taught us how to deal with floods at sea, the assault course and team working exercises."
Throughout training Rory has been engaged in team work exercises that mimic as much as possible the operations that the Royal Navy is engaged in all over the globe. As well as the basics such as marching and fitness sessions, Rory has also learned how to handle an SA80 assault rifle, seamanship techniques and how to tackle floods and fires at sea.
The course culminates in the passing-out-parade attended by families and friends.
Rory's passion has driven him to successfully complete his initial training; his next port of call will be HMS Collingwood in Portsmouth. There, during a five month course, he will learn about the Royal Navy's weapons systems, safety procedures, electrical and electronic repair techniques and the basic of hydraulics and pneumatics. Having chosen a career as a submariner Rory will then return to HMS Raleigh to learn how to operate beneath the waves at the Royal Navy Submarine School.
The Royal Navy's Initial Naval Training course is underpinned by nine Core Maritime Skills that are the foundations of naval life and underpin operational effectiveness.
Recruits are taught the basics of Naval discipline and customs. They learn about navigation and are given the chance to take the helm of their own medium sized inflatable boat during a waterborne orienteering exercise. With Royal Navy personnel playing a vital role in Afghanistan and other land-based operations, recruits undergo training in basic combat skills which includes survival in the field.
Fitness is a key component of the training and is delivered using a disciplined method of military fitness which focuses on developing co-ordination and individual physical strength and endurance. As the course progresses the recruits take part in three extended exercises to test their skills and understanding of the principles they have been taught.

NEW YORK When revelers pack Times Square for the annual New Years eve celebration tonight, police will observe a tradition of their own: giving them lots of company.
Each year, the New York Police Department assigns thousands of extra patrols to festivities in ways seen and unseen to control the crowd and watch for any signs of trouble. Hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world are expected to pack into the bow-tie stretch of streets in Midtown Manhattan to see the crystal ball drop and ring in 2013.
We think its the safest place in the world on New Years Eve, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told The Associated Press.
Security in Times Square has become an obsession for the NYPD in the post-9/11 world, especially since the botched attempted car bombing there in the summer of 2010. More recently, details emerged in another case in Florida saying that one suspect considered Times Square a potential target.
Times Square is an iconic location that draws a significant number of people every day, Kelly said. New Years Eve is the apex of that, so we have to plan accordingly.
Kelly stressed that there are no specific terror threats related to a celebration televised across the globe. But believing that the so-called Crossroads of the World is always in the crosshairs of would-be terrorists, the nations largest police department has turned securing the event into a science.

Chief's Counsel
A Little Advice May Buy You Immunity
Elliot B. Spector, President, Sack Spector Karsten, West Hartford, Connecticut
The lesson is that, if time permits, a call or a visit to an attorney regarding a questionable constitutional action will serve two purposes. First, it probably will prevent officers from committing an unconstitutional act, and, second, even if the actions are later found to be unconstitutional, the seeking of the advice will be strong evidence that the officers are entitled to qualified immunity. When officers do request such advice, they should provide the attorneys with complete information and act in accordance with the advice. In the rare event that the officer knows that the advice is contrary to law, the officer should seek a second opinion but should definitely not assume that the immunity protection will be available when they know that the attorney has given them improper advice.Consult a SpecialistOfficers cannot assume that everyone who has a law degree is capable of answering questions related to an arrest, a search, or another legal matter relating to law enforcement. Officers should rely on attorneys who specialize in police-related issues. Just as a cardiac patient would not want a dentist to perform heart surgery, an officer would not want legal advice from a divorce attorney on a Miranda issue.The best option available to some officers is a police legal advisor. These attorneys specialize in law enforcement-related legal matters and are there to provide advice to officers and document the questions and answers for future use. The second best option is a prosecutor's office. Although most prosecutors encourage officers to seek advice and are more than willing to assist, some may be reluctant since they are not clothed with absolute immunity for giving legal advice to the police.9The third obvious option is the city attorney's office. Bear in mind that some city attorneys specialize in other areas of law and do not have the expertise to give competent legal advice on law enforcement-related matters. Finally, if none of the above alternatives are readily available, attorneys in private practice specializing in police matters may prove to be a practical resource.Little Downside to Asking for AdviceThere is little downside to asking for advice. Most factual circumstances can be described within five or 10 minutes and a truly competent attorney in the field can respond immediately with the correct answer. But even if the attorney doesn't have the answer, or provides the wrong answer, the fact that you've asked will put you in a far better position when claiming qualified immunity or challenging discipline. So go ahead and ask.1 Cox v.

Northshore evaluating its classroom computers
by Jeff Switzer, senior staff reporter
The Northshore School District will use 1996 voter-approved levy dollars to continue purchasing
Macintosh computers
for its schools, but in response to Apple Computer's bad press and financial losses, the district is looking at a possible long-term "migration" to the Windows platform.
The Northshore Technology Advisory Committee, with members from the school district and business community, recommended that the school district continue with Macs and protect the investment represented by years of experience and training, software purchases, and support systems. The committee also believes that the same reason Northshore went with Apple years ago holds true today, citing the Mac's ease of use, speed, and lower support costs.
According to Dr. Karen Forys, Northshore's superintendent, "moving forward on this plan has taken longer than anticipated due to the need to examine the district's commitment to Apple Computer."
Voters passed the 1996 Technology Levy in February 1996, which promised at least two computers in each classroom. Forys says the deliveries are expected in March and April.
Northshore has a mix of Macs and PCs, but to expand the use of PCs now would break the school district's budget by requiring more staff, training, and software. PCs tend to be used more in the workplace, but the committee felt that operational differences between Macs and PCs "have diminished and will continue to do so."
The ability to use computers for writing, communicating, accessing and processing information, creating, and learning is transferable to any platform, the committee added, and the school district is designing standards for students kindergarten through 12th grade.
When students bring work from home that was done on a PC, the newest Macs at any given school should be able to translate the information. According to the district, training and materials will be increasingly available to "make this process practical and simple."
A memo from the committee outlined the future Mac and PC issue, noting Apple's plans for a new operating system and the district's ability to fully run it once it's released. "If accepted by the market and software developers, this OS will greatly enhance the performance and value of those computers," the memo stated.

"The toll this has taken on my family and my work for ourfoundation and on me leads me to where I am today - finished withthis nonsense," the cancer survivor said.
"If I thought for one moment that by participating in USADA'sprocess, I could confront these allegations in a fair setting andonce and for all put these charges to rest, I would jump at thechance," he said. "But I refuse to participate in a process that isso one-sided and unfair."
