The cornerstone of the Ohio Supercomputer Center's Summer Institute is the projects. The students work together in small teams on diverse and challenging research-level projects. Teams are comprised of a project leader (staff member who conceived and designed the project) and three or four students.
This year's project options are:
1) Lab-on-a-chip Nanofluidics - more info
The goal of new lab-on-a-chip nanotechnology is to shrink today's diagnostic equipment onto chips that are about a million times smaller. In the medical field, this offers the possibility of diagnostics based on ultra-small samples, single-cell analysis, and portable devices for rapid and accurate bedside diagnosis of conditions like heart disease and cancer. An ordinary pathology lab involves mixing samples and chemicals, and moving them into position for analysis. These same functions must be performs on lab-on-a-chip devices. Therefore, we need reliable methods for transport of fluids and biomolecules in nanoscale structures.
You will explore one of the most promise methods of fluid transport in nanostructures, electroosmotic flow (EOF). The principle behind EOF is simple: Most surfaces carry an electrical charge. That means there must be charge of the opposite sign somewhere to compensate the surface charge. For example, ordinary glass has a strong negative charge, and there is always a compensating layer of positively-charged fluid containing ions like Na+ or K+ near the surface. Application of a voltage to the positively-charged fluid causes fluid flow known as electroosmotic flow (EOF). The advantage of EOF is that fluid flow is under precise electrical control without the use of mechanical pumps.
You will explore how surface charge, surface roughness, and salt concentration affect electroosmotic flow, and draw conclusions about the conditions for optimal efficiency. You will compare detailed molecule simulations with continuum models of fluid flow like the Navier-Stokes equation. (Click on the image above to see an example animation)
2) Image Processing - More Info
This project involves a real world application of finding comets in sun observation images from the SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) spacecraft.
SOHO is a cooperative mission between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). SOHO studies the sun from deep down in its core out to 32 solar radii. The spacecraft orbits the L1 Lagrangian point. From this orbit, SOHO is able to observe the sun 24 hours a day. Even though SOHO's primary objectives relate to solar and heliospheric physics, the onboard LASCO instrument has become the most prolific comet discoverer in history!
LASCO (Large Angle Spectrometric Coronagraph) is able to take images of the solar corona by blocking the light coming directly from the Sun with an occulter disk, creating an artificial eclipse within the instrument itself. LASCO images are automatically posted on the web approximately every 20 minute. Since LASCO began taking observations in January of 1996, the C2 and C3 coronagraphs have observed over 950 new comets and 9 known comets. The vast majority of these comets were discovered by amateur astronomers who closely examine the images for potential comets. Below is a typical image recently taken by SOHO.
3) Cancer Cell Migration, Invasion and Metastasis
Cancer is a major cause of death in the United States and the spread of cancer cells from a primary tumor to other organs, i.e. metastasis, is the key feature that leads to high mortality. For example, women with localized breast tumors have a 98% 5-year survival rate. However, metastasis of local breast tumors to other organs leads to a very low 23% survival rate. Metastasis involves the detachment of epithelial cells from the primary tumor, cell migration into the surrounding tissue, cell invasion into blood/lymphatic vessels and colonization of distal organs. One biological mechanism responsible for metastasis is known as epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT is a form of cell-plasticity (i.e. stem cell like behavior) where non-motile epithelial cells get converted into a highly migratory/invasive mesenchymal cell. EMT is normal assessed by measuring the activity of certain genes that are modulated during the transition. Unfortunately, many of these gene markers are non-specific and do not undergo consistent changes during metastasis. Furthermore, these markers do not provide a quantitative way to determine the degree of EMT and/or the metastatic potential in a given patient.
Recently, our laboratory has demonstrated that cancer cells undergo dramatic biomechanical and structural changes during EMT (see Figure 1). Not only are these biomechanical changes are highly-specific, since characterizing cell/tissue mechanics is a clinical viable diagnostic technique, these changes in cell mechanics represents a novel way to quantitatively assess the degree of EMT. However, it is not well understood how changes in cell mechanics facilitate or alter the cell migration and invasion processes required for metastasis. We have therefore started to develop sophisticated multi-scale computational models to investigate how changes in different cell biomechanical properties influence cancer cell migration and metastasis (see Figure 2). These models can simulate both the detachment of cancer cells from the primary tumor and their migration/invasion into surrounding tissues. For the summer projects, students will first be exposed to the computational tools used to create models of cancer cell migration and invasion (i.e. finite element modeling). The student team will then be ask to model a very specific and important step in metastasis where cancer cells that have detached from the primary tumor must squeeze through pores in the extracellular matrix and invade through a thin layer of endothelial cells to enter the blood stream. Two PhD students from Dr. Ghadiali's lab will be available to help students set-up initial models and analyze model results. These students will also describe how they are using computational techniques to advance their PhD research programs.

4) Networking Design and Engineering
The Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet) was created in 1987 to provide Ohio researchers with their first "online" access to the high performance computing resources of the newly established Ohio Supercomputer Center. Exponentially increasing demand from college and university researchers for statewide connectivity and increased bandwidth led to the acquisition of dark fiber to create a highly scalable, fiber-optic communications infrastructure, launched in November 2004. The new network was referred to as the Third Frontier Network and, later, OSCnet, both for a period when OARnet operated as the networking division of the Ohio Supercomputer Center. Today, the OARnet network consists of more than 1,850 miles of fiber-optic backbone, with more than 1,500 miles of it operating at ultrafast 100 Gbps speeds. The network blankets the state, providing connectivity to Ohio's colleges and universities, K-12 schools, public broadcasting stations, academic medical centers, government agencies, and partnering research organizations (read more at https://oar.net/about/history).
In this project we will investigate the components and technologies used to build and maintain large-scale, high performance, data networks. The project team's goal is to design and implement a 'Summer Institute' (SI) network, which will interface with the OARnet backbone for connectivity to both the Internet and Internet2 (http://www.internet2.edu/). The team's network will be a redundant, multi-vendor environment (built using both Juniper and Cisco equipment), similar in architecture to many higher education campuses or research group infrastructures that connect to OARnet. Once the SI network is in place, the team can perform end-to-end tests between machines in their environment and test remote points located throughout OARnet's backbone, to 'baseline' their network's performance. This testing will give the project team an opportunity to explore a range of different network technologies (10Mbps-10Gbps Ethernet & DWDM) and dynamic routing protocols (OSPF & BGP). The team can observe the impact of link failure on a high-availability network, measure the characteristics of a fiber-optic cable, and gain hands-on experience with many of the tools and components used to build and maintain OARnet's 100Gbps backbone.
5) The Physics of Addicting Video Games
Some of the most entertaining video games and smartphone apps incorporate surprisingly realistic physics models. Games like Angry Birds, for example, have spring models and projectile motion not unlike the kind of physics problems that students encounter in introductory courses. In this project you will work through a tutorial on how to program simple but very fun games that include realistic physics. After finishing these tutorials, you can look around the internet at sites like www.physicsclassroom.com, simbucket.com and phet.colorado.edu to see other examples of the kind of physics-inspired games that are out there. Students will choose to try and emulate one of these "interactives" or design something entirely new. OSU physics professors Chris Orban and Annika Peter will be on hand to help, as will graduate students from the department of physics. These tutorials are designed for absolute-beginner level programmers. But more experienced programmers will also have a fun time with this project (which uses the processingjs.org framework).
At OSU the physics and astronomy departments work closely together and as an added bonus, participants in this project will receive a tour of the astronomy department including the instrument fabrication lab. Prof. Lisa Hall in OSU's new Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Building will also host students and show visualizations of her molecular dynamics simulations.

4- What are my expectations? I'll be thrilled if over time my pc discovers a bitcoin block and I get 50 bitcoins. Then I dunno. I'll have 50 bitcoins.
just FYI, the current block reward is 25 bitcoins.
So basically you are just making a fake currency
Yeah, nothing can go wrong with that...
eta: you're much better off joining a mining pool. you will actually get some bitcoins that way (probably just fractions if you're only mining with a single GPU). if you solo mine, you may never ever solve a block
The frick? so I've already lost half my value and I haven't even started?
What do you think will go wrong with it?
Bitcoin, the world's first peer-to-peer digital currency, has lost almost half of its value against the dollar since the start of August, falling from $13.50 to around $7:
Bitcoin Market Hacked, Crashes to Below $0.01 per Bitcoin
Bitcoin, the digital currency that some people have called "dangerous", has just had a major setback today thanks to a significant data breach.
The main Bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, has suffered a major database breach which caused one account in particular to be completely compromised and have its funds stolen. The real implication of this was the effect it had on the Bitcoin market - this video shows the market in real time dropping to values below 1 cent in a matter of minutes as people frantically try to remove their funds.
what's fake about it?
What do you think will go wrong with it?
I'm gonna start a currency based on unicorn farts, wanna get in?
I'm gonna start a currently based on unicorn farts,
Initial exchange rate: 1 unicorn fart = 2 dinosaur turds
Initial exchange rate: 1 unicorn fart = 2 dinosaur turds
Don't forget the currency exchange fee of 8 mermaid counts or "MC"s
quote:That means you value dinosaur turds higher than I do.
I don't know if Dinosaur Turds are valued that high...
Ill go 1 = 1.5
That means you value dinosaur turds higher than I do.
The frick? so I've already lost half my value and I haven't even started?
so I've already lost half my value and I haven't even started?
There is nothing backing it... It is made up.
The Bitcoin price did NOT fall to $0.01 in June 2011.
The backstory behind this myth is an event in June where an administrator account at MtGox, a Bitcoin exchange which had over 80% market share at the time, was hacked, and the attacker managed to manipulate MtGox's database tables to create a balance of 2 million bitcoins within his account and immediately sold them, consuming all of the buy orders that had been placed on the site in the months before going from $17.50 all the way down to $0.01. However, what sank to $0.01 was not the actual Bitcoin price, but rather a MtGox representation of the price. A price is, by definition, a value in exchange for which something is being bought and sold at a given time. In this case, however, MtGox later rolled back all of the trades that had happened during the event, so no lasting purchase or sale was actually made at anything less than $10. MtGox's price charts show no transactions happening on the day. Aside from the attacker, no human being was, at any point, willing to sell bitcoins at anything close to $0.01 – the orders that were processed were all made weeks and months before the event, and at exchanges other than MtGox, the price generally remained at a healthy $13-$18. And, most importantly of all, the 2 million BTC that were sold were not even real bitcoins – they were simply fraudulent entries in MtGox's database. Although it is understandable how some can interpret the event as the price dropping to $0.01, pointing to this incident as a sign of Bitcoin's price instability is highly disingenuous – the root cause was a security mishap at a third party service, not a sudden loss of confidence in the currency. Incidentally, if the MtGox hack does count as the Bitcoin price dropping to $0.01, then another, less known, MtGox glitch deserves to count as the Bitcoin price reaching $1 billion.
People don't honor bitcoins for real currency if there is a mass run to withdraw funds
I'm gonna start a currently based on unicorn farts, wanna get in?
Isn't one of the benefits of Bitcoins that you can cash them out for USDs?
What happens if organizations refuse to exchange for currency during a tank?

Whats everyone getting on average for light honey 1lb jars these day?
Was thinking $8 ?
Whats everyone getting on average for light honey 1lb jars these day?
Was thinking $8 ?
American made Honey Processing Equipment "Built to last a lifetime"
Retail here is $5-$7
When selling at retail, don't sell it too cheap. That hurts all beekeepers.
My I suggest checking price at few "local" markets, and if yours is BETTER add 25 or 50 cents.
Both Bee Culture and ABJ have price reports by Region. Hopefully, you have a subscription to one or the other, or both. That's a place to start. In your area (retail) $2.50-$5.50.
Sell my 1 lbs gallberry for $6 and add a dollar for 1 pound chunk honey.
My dark honey is $6, the light seems to have a higher value. Wanted to get a feel for what you all are getting for yours.
I have to make up for all the great deals I give on our machinery through honey sales
American made Honey Processing Equipment "Built to last a lifetime"
$6 here
$5.00 light or dark, $7.00 for Raw
My wifes getting $10 for hers.
Max rep. I think you need to refine the question. You'll find price changes depending on the location and market.
Fairs, health food shops, and local food markets will bring in top dollar. $8 to $10 for local wildflower. $11 and up for various monoflorals.
It's also a question if you have a lot of beekeepers in your area under cutting market price.
If you aren't selling directly to the customer, you'll have to discount it.
I tend to find older beekeepers with lower prices, who haven't raised their prices in years.
You also need to think about how much stock you have, and how fast you're looking to dump it. Honey inventory or honey stock is just like stock on the stock market. If you price it lower it will move faster.
I tend to keep my inventory of purchased monofloral honey lower, and the price high. While the reverse for my local wildflower.
If you are new to your market area try $1 under local store prices for your first year. The next year you can raise youre price youre sales will not drop. You may even have to buy wholesale local honey untill you extract again.
Walmart sells a 1 pound jar of honey in the Omaha area here for about $4.00, give or take some change.
I can buy a 24 oz jar of raw honey from a local beekeeping products store for about a bit over $7.00 also in Omaha.
Big Bear
No, I am NOT a bee "Keeper". Anything I post is just my opinion. Take it easy and think for yourself.
there must have been a buy for Walmart because they are selling a lot of honey this year, Sam's club is selling 1/2 gallon jugs of what they say is "Pure Clover Honey" then when you look were its from and it say Brazil, United States, Canada, New Zealand and Argentina, funny how they know its all from clover..
I sale my pint jars for $6.50
My wife just bought a 1/2 gal jug (6lb) of US honey for 6.99$US. Think it was from a large retailer but labelled from a company in WA, but on the back it says: Product of USA & Canada.
80% of Walmarts stock comes from China directly or indirectly.
Mine sell for $7.00 each.
I recently sold my honey in 8oz jars for $7 per jar. It only took eight hours to completely sell out. People didn't seem to think twice about it.
I get $5.00 for mine but the price is going up some this year to cover the rising cost of everything else.
life is like a box of chocolates,you never know what you are gonna get
We sell for $7 for local raw honey will probably be $8 this year. We sell a premium product that in our opinion is better than what you can get in the store.

I am an novice beekeepers and I work at an outdoor school. Last spring, we got a three frame observation hive (the frames are stacked, so all cells are visible). I am wondering what it would take to overwinter a hive like this in South-western Michigan. We don't have many visitors in the winter, so the hive doesn't need to be visible. It is located in a school room where the temps will drop to the low 50's over the winter. The bees seem to be doing well right now, and seem strong. They have an access tube outside the building. I would love to be able to keep them alive over the winter, but don't know if that is a realistic hope. Should I feed them? Should I insulate them or is 50 degrees okay?
I am guessing that the biggest problem would be lack of stores for the winter. What would happen if I would arrange a deep super under the obs. hive with a queen excluder over the passage between the two, so that the workers could store honey in the super, but the queen would be visible in the observation hive until the end of October. Then, I could remove the queen excluder and allow her to go down into the hive where the honey is and move her back to the observation hive in the spring. Anyone have any other ideas?

Parolee with ties to white supremacist gang could be connected to the slayings of DOC chief, pizza deliveryman
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A white supremacist parolee from Denver could be connected to the slayings of Tom Clements, Colorado Department of Corrections chief, and a pizza deliveryman in Denver.
Thursday's car chase in Texas and shoot-out with law enforcement isn't 28-year-old Evan Ebel's first run-in with the law. He was in and out of Colorado prisons on charges of robbery, assault, burglary and trespass.
He plead guilty to assault in Fremont County in 2008 and was sentenced to four years in the Department of Corrections. He was serving his parole in the Denver area. Ebel's father testified in front of state lawmakers in 2011 on the impact of solitary confinement on his son.
"He'll rant a little bit. He'll stammer. He'll be frustrated that he can't find the words. And I let him get it out, and eventually, because I'm his father, he will talk to me," said Jack Ebel.
ABC News reports Ebel left prison a member of a white supremacist gang.
Police said Ebel led law enforcement officers in Texas on a harrowing car chase pushing 100 mph Thursday. A shootout with Texas deputies ended with police shooting him to death.
"It didn't look like he wanted to be caught or be taken alive," said Rex Hoskins with the Decatur Police Department in Texas.
Ebel's mangled car looked like the one spotted in Clements' neighborhood around the time of the slaying. It also has Colorado license plates.
Investigators said in a press conference Friday they will not release details about evidence inside the car that could connect him to the killings.

Like USC QBs for example. They are usually stacked with offensive talent and it makes the qbs look much better then they are. Then you end up with Sanchez or Leinert.
It's Reese doing his "due diligence" and probably nothing more. He is probably on the draft board somewhere and you never know what circumstances may lead to especially if teams start making runs on certain players that may be rated highly by Reese. Reese probably figured some questions could be answered at his pro day and probably just wanted to take a look.
I agree with the smoke screen argument.
1. The Giants rarely tips their hand and 9 times out of 10 uses the misdirection play when it comes down to draft picks.
2. The "Cowgirls are picking directly in front of the Giants. They will not hesitate to trade back, to elp another team snag a Giant prize.
3. The Giants typically drafts "BPA" (Best Player Available). Which, in a way. makes a case for watching Ogletree.
dont we usually end up drafting guys we dont see at their pro days or even have any kind contact with?
Ogletree is the guy! Just once I would love to see the Giants pick the guy I want in the first round, haha.
Patrick Willis wasnt totally out of our reach, and we didnt go after him, HUGE MISTAKE! Dont pass on another talented inside linebacker Reese! Fix the weakest part of the D!
Ogletree is going to be a stud LB in the NFL. Hope it is with us. With that said, there are plenty of players to watch at the Georgia pro day. That D was stacked with NFL talent.

Much of the publicity for Catwoman's inclusion in Arkham City, the sequel to Rocksteady's hit Batman game Arkham Asylum, has revolved around her sex appeal. The new Arkham City
trailer above features the pounding drums of Lykke Li's "Get Some" while Catwoman does some unforgettable Bayonetta-esque
Please, please, please let this trailer for Batman: Arkham City mean what I think it means. It looks like Batman and the Joker double-teaming. It looks like co-op gameplay. It looks like I could sit on my couch and flip a coin with my partner to decide the undecideable: which of us gets to be Joker and which of us gets to be Batman, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit

I've Burnt My Hand
Posted on 1st Apr 2010 at 11:09 by Joe Martin with 30 comments
Important life lesson: When trying to impress your girlfriend by making jerk chicken and homemade cornbread it's important not to pick up the griddle pan that's been in the oven for the last 20 minutes unless you're wearing oven gloves..
Fortunately, my hand is now pretty much OK and the burns, while painful and annoying, were only superficial. No lasting damage. On the downside, the exorbitant amount of bandaging and the blisters beneath have had an impact on my gaming life.

The young prince was four years old at the time of this portrait. He expressed the desire to hold his toy boat during the sitting, adding a sense of childhood shyness to the portrait.

I have been using the Burris for many years. You can find a new one for about $250.00. Less for a used one.
I'm getting my Mosin set up as a scout rifle. Can you guys point in a good direction for a scope? I'll be using this rifle for hunting. In western WA, most hunts will be at about 100 yards. Would like the scope to be able to go to 200-300 yards as well if needed. Would prefer a variable scope.
Looking to spend about $200 for a scope. What do you guys recommend?
Thanks In Advance.
Polish AK 74
I have been using the Burris for many years. You can find a new one for about $250.00. Less for a used one.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
For a proper installation, that scope requires a) a "highwall" Mosin receiver (somewhat rare and what the PU mount really needs) and b) drilling, tapping and wood removal.
It also requires grinding and/or shimming to fit the mount to the Mosin receiver else you end up with either of not being able to sight in the scope or a really odd sight picture (assuming the reticle moves as windage/elevation is adjusted per the original PU scope design).
Not an easy scope to mount and not really a "scout" scope IMHO.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
i had the same idea for my m38.i just picked up this one and installed it today. it is chinese and name is aim. it gives quick acquisition of target w/ both eyes open. rail mounts in rear sight mount. 2-7x32. don't know how it'll hold zero, but it was only 70.00 at the gun show.
I wish I'd bought more M38's when they were $49.00 at Aztec in Florida.
I like Trickyricks gunshow find I'll see if there are any on Gunbroker. I don't see cool shit like that at gunshows around here.
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
Wish I could help, can only make a suggestion from your distance info you already gave.
I'd think the 3-9x power would work ok for the 100-300 yard ranges, 3-4x would be fine for the 100 yard stuff, though I think your right about 6x being the most you'd need.

Community Development Institute
Improving Communities and Increasing Opportunities
Never before has the practice of community development been more important than it is today. As the world grows smaller through the increased use of global communications, communities of all sizes are finding their boundaries are expanding beyond their city limits. CDI Texas provides practical, interactive, and comprehensive training designed to meet the needs of economic and community development professionals working in a fast paced environment. CDI Texas builds the capacity of individuals and communities to effectively and positively impact economic and social development.
Who Should Attend?
Participants include community and economic development practitioners, city, county and state officials and community volunteers, non-profit staff and board members, chamber staff, private industry, municipal districts, and academics will find the Institute a valuable learning tool for the development of individual and community leadership skills. Attendees will expand their ability to identify community assets, set goals, encourage collaboration, and respond to a broad range of economic and quality of life issues.
Year 1 focuses on the foundations of community development. It covers community development principles and practices, strategic visioning and planning, ethics in community development, asset based community development, community assessment, diversity and communications, and group decision making. The group simulation helps participants better understand the challenges and benefits of a community development approach.
Year 2 places more emphasis on economic development, including the "nuts and bolts" of implementing specific commercial and industrial development projects, such as financing development projects, how to establish a business retention and expansion program, and how to support community entrepreneurs. Other topics include planning livable communities, site selection, international trends, how to use social media tools to market your community and a community development group simulation.
Year 3 focuses on implementing the knowledge gained in the previous sessions. Participants gain skills in leadership development, grant development and administration, community marketing, and organizing the community development effort. Downtown development, historic preservation, and tourism are also discussed. Furthermore, they learn how Community Foundations leverage philanthropy to improve liveability. They learn how community events and assets translate into income and tax revenue when tourism is a priority.
After completing three years of CDI, participants are well-prepared for the examination to become a Professional Community and Economic Developer.
CDI Advanced
The Advanced Year focuses on the application of community and economic development principles in a real-world setting. This two-day training is designed for individuals who have completed all three years of CDI as well as for non-CDI alumni working in the field who want to stay current with trends and best practices. Completion of Advanced CDI is recognized by the CDC for education requirements, training, work experience and eligibility criteria for re-certification.
PCED Certification
Enhance your career by becoming a Professional Community and Economic Developer (PCED). CDI helps prepare you for this nationally-recognized certification offered through the Community Development Council (CDC). Application and eligibility information are available at cdcouncil.com. Pre-registration for the exam is required 45 days in advance. The PCED is optional and not required for CDI attendance.
Registration and Attendance
The cost to attend CDI Texas is $600. The Advanced course is $350 for CDI alumni and $400 for non-CDI participants. Registration fee covers training, participant materials, and breakfast, lunch and refreshment breaks daily. Accommodations and other food costs are the responsibility of the participant. All sessions will be held at the Lone Star Community Building located at 5000 Research Forest Drive, The Woodlands, TX 77381.
Attendance at all sessions is required to earn full credit. If a participant misses more than 10 percent of the course sessions, credit for course completion will not be given. Completion of CDI earns one PCED certification or re-certification point.
CDI Across the Nation
CDI Texas is part of a national network of training sites endorsed by the Community Development Council (CDC), a nationally-recognized, non-profit organization with the mission of advancing the practice and profession of community development. For more information about the CDC and CDI site locations visit cdcouncil.com.

Emily Deschanel x-rated nude Bones promo picsThursday, March 26th, 2009
When they were first planning to release the TV show Bones a few years ago, they didn't really know how to promote it. Hot on the heels of those other forensic crime dramas Criminal Minds, Numbers, and the twenty different editions of CSI, Bones was struggling to distance itself from the pack. Well, they had one thing they could play up – the uber-sexy lead star Emily Deschanel. So some horny advertising dude made up these pornographic images to promote the show. And surprise surprise, Emily was more than happy to give them what they needed.
Playing up the sexuality of her character Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan to x-rated effect, Emily strips bare and lets it all hang out. I'm loving the naughty "set stills" where she's examining human remains in the buff. I can imagine her co-star getting a boner. Heck, I can even imagine the skeleton in front of her getting one, she's just that hot. Then it's off to the coroner's office where once again she takes a load off (as well as her clothes) while she and her co-star get in a heated conversation about their latest case.
Now, it's time to unwind 'cause by this time the case is solved and everyone's happy. And since she takes her job very seriously, it's time to spend some quality time with her "patient". Using one of those bones as a dildo, a huge smile on her face occurs and somewhere in the ether, the soul of the bone's owner is smiling as well. Wow, when a show deals with afterlife sex, you know their breaking new ground.
So if these nude pics of Emily Deschanel prove one thing, it's that all shows look a lot better when the hot chicks are naked. Too bad things like that only happen on cable. But not to worry, until the show moves to cable, we've got these naked shots to get us by. Check this place out to see more hot pics of Emily and other gorgeous celebs.

Academy will double the programs reach.
by Amanda Smith, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
Launched in 2002, the idea behind the North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge was to allow students to incorporate the knowledge they had gained in all aspects of dairy management into one competition. Not only did the program better prepare students for when they left campus and went into industry, it also helped the professors charged with building that knowledge base find the strengths and weaknesses in their own university programs.
Annually, approximately 130 to 150 students compete in the national contest. In 2013 though, NAIDC will expand their efforts to reach another 150 students. The Dairy Challenge Academy will now allow sophomores, juniors and seniors in four-year dairy programs along with students from community colleges and technical schools to further develop their understanding of current dairy issues outside of an academic setting.
The Dairy Challenge Academy will run in conjunction with the national contest, April 4 to 6, 2013, in Fort Wayne, Ind. Participants in both the national competition and academy will start together for educational sessions on dairy profitability and opportunities in the U.S. dairy industry. In the evening the groups will split with contest participants beginning the competition and academy attendees continuing their educational work.
Over the course of the next two days academy students will work with advisers experts from the dairy industry to experience first-hand how to evaluate and consult on a dairy farm. The goal of the academy is to be a hands-on learning opportunity for students in the prime of their dairy educations.
The program for Dairy Challenge Academy incorporates interactive seminars and structured table talk sessions, along with an on-farm forum and case study. Students will visit two dairies with academy advisers to learn how to they evaluate dairy profitability and approach management challenges.
Both programs are of an all-encompassing nature that challenges not only students but the intuitions they attend and the industry professionals that assist them. As Linda Hodorff, a Wisconsin dairy producer and Dairy Challenge founder noted, "By nature of the Dairy Challenge name, we're hoping students challenge themselves and help better the industry. Universities and curriculums are challenged to future needs. And those who volunteer are challenged to keep up to date with key profit factors on today's dairies."

I'll second what Dave said, and although there are some rather reactionary posters here for the most part personalities are not attacked. As there is very little moderation here some unpleasant things get posted, but counter points are presented as well, everyone has the opportunity to make their case.

Read about it in THE HARVARD GAZETTE HERE:
We now have the full text of the Harvard Study by Alex Lu which can be downloaded from this Google Docs link:
The magnitude and the pattern of honey bee hive loss
during the winter months in this study resemble the reported
symptoms of CCD. The loss of 15 of 16 imidacloprid-
treated hives (94%) across 4 apiaries occurred
over a period of 10 weeks following the first hive death.
Dead hives were remarkably empty except for stores of
food and some pollen left on the frames (figure 3). The
dead hives, particularly for those treated with higher dosages
of imidacloprid, was preceded by the observation
of dead bees scattered on snow in front of the hives,
with diminished small clusters remaining the week before
death. Snow usually fell between weekly hive examinations
making the observation of scattered dead
honey bees in front of individual hives noticeable. Although
this observation is not quite reminiscent of the
reported CCD symptoms, it is important to consider that
if these hives were located in a warmer climate region,
such as in Florida USA where migratory hives overwinter,
bees exiting the hives would have dispersed some
distance from the hives and therefore would not be observed
in front of the hives.
The replicated controlled design of this in situ study in
the apiarian setting, and the survival of honey bees in 3
of 4 control hives (figure 4), eliminate the possibility
that hive deaths were caused by common suggested risk
factors, such as long-distance transportation of hives,
malnutrition, or the reported toxic effect of hydroxymethylfurfural,
a heat-formed contaminant during the
distillation process of making HFCS, to honey bees (Le-
Blanc et al., 2009). We used the same HFCS in both the
imidacloprid-treated and control hives. The loss of imidacloprid-
treated hives in this study is also highly unlikely
due to pathogen infection since the presence of neither
Nosema nor a large number of Varroa mites was
observed in hives during the summer and fall seasons.
In addition, all hives were treated with Apistan strips
and Fumagillin B, two effective treatments for parasite
prevention, prior to the winter season. Since all hives
were considered healthy as they went into fall season,
those pathogens posed very little threat to the health of
honey bee hives. The only dead control hive exhibited
symptoms of dysentery in which dead honey bees were
found both inside and outside of the hive, which is not
seen in the other 19 hives.
Data from this in situ study provide convincing evidence
that exposure to sub-lethal levels of imidacloprid
causes honey bees to exhibit symptoms consistent to
CCD months after imidacloprid exposure. Should stressor
factors other than feeding honey bees with HFCS
containing imidacloprid cause CCD, the loss of honey
bees would not occur disproportionally on those imidacloprid-
treated hives. The survival of the control hives
unequivocally augments this conclusion. The study hypothesis
is further supported by the mortality data presented
in figure 2, which clearly demonstrates a dose-
response relationship, in which the highest imidacloprid
dose exterminates hives more quickly than the subsequent
doses in all 4 apiaries. Although imidacloprid, and
other neonicotinoid insecticides have been suggested as
a possible contributing factor to CCD because of its toxicity
in impairing foraging ability or triggering other
neuro-behavioral problems (e.g. failure to return to the
hive) in honey bees at sub-lethal doses (Suchail et al.,
2001; Rortais et al., 2005; Thompson and Maus, 2007;
Yang et al., 2008; Mullin et al., 2010), its attribution to
CCD in the apiary setting has never been documented.
The results from this study underscore the paucity of
research concerning the sub-lethal effects of pesticides
on CCD, particularly of neonicotinoids throughout the
yearly life cycle of entire honey bee colonies under
natural conditions (Maini et al., 2010; Spivak et al.,

And eli remembers he has 2 rings and carriker has never seen playoffs or even a starting job.
Who? This guy got put on IR in week 2 and has the balls to talk trash, amazing!
Well, at least Eli has celebrated twice at that bar after the playoffs were over with.
Carriker @AdamCarriker94 Tony Romo, Michael Vick, and Eli Manning walk into a bar.... to watch the playoffs.
...shortly joined by Carriker and RG3.
Well so far the are having their way with Seattle and they can beat the Falcons next week if they do win today. They might be in the Championship game without two of their star defenders.
Washington is a much better team than the Jets. The Giants better improve quickly.
Skins have the Seahawks on the ropes. If they win this game by a huge margin, they are going to gain a lot more respect.
Well, they're in the dance, so they definitely deserve respect and credit for that. I guess I'm just not sold on the idea that beating the no-so-great Seahawks somehow vaults them to a new level of respect.
I still can't believe the wildcard team was favored on the road against a division winner.

An Interview with Photographer Richard Kern

The photographer talks nymphets, literary influences and porn.

Richard Kern is a contributor to Vice and Purple. He has published 11 books. His films and photographs have been exhibited at MOMA, at The Whitney Museum and in over 30 solo shows around the world.
Kern spoke to us from his apartment in New York's East Village about his new book Shot by Kern and its accompanying video of the same title, both out by Taschen.
Playboy.com: You grew up in a small town in North Carolina where your dad was a newspaper editor. Do you think his job played a role in you wanting to become a photographer?
Richard Kern: Yeah, it definitely had a huge effect on me. Mainly because of him taking photographs. It was a small Southern newspaper, everybody did everything. Whenever there was an assignment to take a photograph I would go with him and it would be like, "Oh, we're going to do something fun. We're going to do something beside sit around and do nothing." And he had a darkroom at the office and he showed me [how it worked]. You have to picture a small town in North Carolina in the '50s and '60s in—there was nothing to do. And [photography] was like some magical thing. I remember seeing photos of the moon landing come in over the wire at his newspaper office. It would come in over a machine—you'd sit there and watch it print out. So photography always meant an excuse to do something exciting. And it still is.
Playboy.com: My dad was a journalist and for a while he was a single dad and if he couldn't get a babysitter he'd take me to the newsroom and I was obsessed with the wire and how you would see the news come out first and then hear it on the radio after. I sound like I'm ancient, talking like that…
Kern: How old are you?
Playboy.com: I'm 36.
Kern: And they still had the wire then!
Playboy.com: Yeah, they did! And the main computer at the office was actually a room that you could walk into—the computer room.
Kern: I remember my father having to go to computer school at the big changeover…
Playboy.com: So you went from small-town newspaper photography to art school. When did you start thinking about nudes? It seems, looking at a lot of your pictures, that it's not just, "I appreciate the female form." I feel like there's an interaction between you and the models. There's a palpable tension created there, between both of you. So when did that become a thing for you, do you think, that trajectory?
Kern: I was mainly just taking what I would call surrealist photos. Photos that were dark and weird, kind of Ralph Gibson-y. Up until the '80s. All through the times I was making the films I made, back in the '80s. And when I was making the films I developed this bad drug habit. And when I finally got off drugs in '88 or so, I was completely broke. And you could buy black and white film for like two bucks a roll. I had a darkroom that someone let me use. So I just started switching over. And then I realized—I was still a young guy then—I could ask girls I knew if they'd like to model for me. And then if they would like to model naked. And it was just like fucking heaven all of a sudden—me being shy and these girls….Even when I was making the films I'd have some nudity and stuff in there. It was just so thrilling to have girls take their clothes off. And there's no strings, there's no nothing. We're just taking photos. And they liked it, I liked it, it was a fun thing. And then it just kind of developed from there to this thing. I was also making videos at the same time. But this became this thing I did for fun. And now I'm looking at it going, "Jesus Christ, I've got to get out of this naked girl thing." [laughs]
Playboy.com: Oh, whatever. [laughs]
Kern: No, it's just, you know, I'm always trying to figure out some way where it's not just a naked girl standing there. Although if you have that Taschen book there's a lot of that in there.
Playboy.com: There's definitely a lot of naked girls in these pictures, yeah.
Kern: Because I look at the book thinking, "This is a tit shot." "This is a tit shot." "This is a butt shot." I want it to be something else.
Playboy.com: It is something else. There's such a presence from your models. You feel conscious of the power of nakedness, whether it's sexy or ugly or awkward. It doesn't seem like any kind of staged accident, like you tricked some girl and there she is! Naked! These aren't naked cheerleader–type situations. There's this very present, consensual person looking back at the viewer.
Kern: Yeah, exactly. There's definitely some artificial stuff going on in porn in general. Do you even consider Playboy to be porn?
Playboy.com: No, I don't. I mean, some people do—like my dad.
Kern: [Laughs] There was a point when Barely Legal called me. Barely Legal was just starting up, it was the first issue. I knew the editor from when I was doing films. And he said, "Do you have any really clean-cut young girls that aren't all fake and artificial? We'll give you a couple of thousand bucks for 10 photos." I was like, "What!" It was the golden age of porn. I quickly shifted over to that. I would shoot that kind of stuff for one week of the month and then I could go back to doing the other stuff I liked the other three weeks and I was paying for everything. But it did become this thing where I knew a couple of photographers and they would have these big inspiration books. And they would just have the girls flip through the pages, "Let's do this pose, let's do this one…" And for a lot of that stuff, I could shoot one in an hour. I stacked up two or three a day. You just run through those poses like, Now she's holding her butt open, now she's got her legs spread [laughs]. This stuff. And it definitely turned into something else. It just [makes gross noise]. Not fun. I think it was fun, but it was weird. It was very weird.
Playboy.com: I could see that. And then this is definitely more on your own terms. And I have to say that in the accompanying film there were so many great moments, like those girls singing in the shower?
Kern: The Russians.
Playboy.com: They were amazing.
Kern: That was some cute song they said they learned when they were in school.
Playboy.com: It was great. Light and silly and sexy at the same time.
Kern: I'm actually almost more interested in the films than in photos these days. I've been doing music videos and stuff again. There's a couple that are right up Playboy's alley. And then there's some straight ones too.
Playboy.com: The difference between girls who are used to posing nude and those who aren't comes through pretty clearly on the videos. What's your deal with asking your models to brush their teeth or sit on the toilet? Are you trying to provoke a different feeling in them?
Kern: Just trying to get them to put down their defences and forget about it. Just do whatever they're doing. A lot of times, I know when I'm getting photographed, I'm standing there thinking, "I am getting photographed, I am getting photographed."
Playboy.com: Yeah. It's so hard. I hate getting my picture taken.
Kern: Same here. It can go either way. Sometimes I have to, for my own stuff, my personal stuff, I have to say, "Hey you're posing." But then if it's a job, for a fashion mag for example, the posing bit helps quite a bit. If the model knows when she looks good, it just speeds everything up.
Playboy.com: In one of the pictures you've got a girl holding two books: The Voyeur, by Alain Robbe-Grillet and The Eye, by Vladimir Nabokov, and I thought that was cool in and of itself, but also I liked the Nabokov reference because as I'd been looking at your book I kept having the word "nymphet," from Lolita, go through my brain; a kind of "nymphet" refrain.
Kern: Well that book is one that I've had in my house forever; I got it because of the cover. And Robbe-Grillet is one that he made a lot of weird, weird sex movies. I don't know if you ever saw them?
Playboy.com: No, I have to check that out.
Kern: They're kind of weird, not exactly sex movies, but arty sex movies. And because of that I picked up the book. And the other one was story of the eye, that Bataille book, but that's a series I've been doing. Trying to shoot stuff that's disappearing. Like books.
Playboy.com: Don't say that!
Kern: I've been doing girls in libraries. And it's extremely hard to go in a 19-year-old's house where there's a library. That's hard these days.
Playboy.com: What do most 19-year-old girls have instead?
Kern: I went in one the other day. I said, "Oh, this couch is from Ikea, oh, this bedspread is from Ikea." Everything is from Ikea, usually. And there's a giant TV. That's pretty much what people seem to have these days. For this same kind of series I've shot girls with their stereos—they happen to have a real stereo instead of just an iPod or an iPhone or something. I'm doing watches, which you never see.
Playboy.com: Girls don't wear watches anymore?
Kern: Not really. Usually the girl is wearing it like a piece of jewelry instead of like a watch. I'm just looking for stuff that's disappearing, lately.
Playboy.com: There's such an element of surprise on the girls' faces when you squirt them with soap. I think it's probably identical to when they're getting come on. Their expressions are so revealing. They're like, "No it's cool, it's cool, I like it." Or they're like, "No, I don't like it, but I'm just gonna do it." Kind of staunch either way.
Kern: It's amazing to me. There was this period where I was thinking, this is the most politically incorrect thing I could do. And I'm asking the girls, "Look, uh, do you care if I squirt soap on you? It's going to look really porno. It's going to look like come." And they'll be like, "That's funny! Let's do it!" I'm always so shocked that they don't care. There's a movie of that at the very end of that DVD of these girls just getting squirted. It's hard to hold any kind of expression when it's happening.

Fresh Maine sea scallops (dredged by day-boats or caught by divers) are everywhere this fleeting season, rebounding after a collapse that prompted a three-year-moratorium. The Maine shrimp season, at risk due to overfishing, opens a month late (on January 22 for trawlers), with catch limits reduced to only a quarter of last year's already curtailed quotas. And that most valuable and plentiful lobster fishery, after a five-year effort, is close to gaining "sustainable" status on the coveted Marine Stewardship Council list, though looming threats foretell a decline in future landings.
Gather those mild, non-fishy scallops while ye' may, as the harvest ends in March. Fishermen swear those sweet adductor muscles are best fresh from the shell, raw. I favor them cured as ceviche or atop nigiri sushi. Just be sure to demand that the scallops are local and not previously frozen. At home, rinse and wipe scallops, season and sear them for a couple minutes a side in a hot skillet with a little oil or butter, perhaps spooning on a tangy glaze. With their browned, crisp exterior (don't move them in the pan!) scallops should stay medium-rare in the center. Don't overcook them. Some briefly soak scallops in milk (or even coconut milk) before cooking, but with ones this fresh, it isn't necessary. I plan to follow Julia Child's advice to let scallops star in a bouillabaisse or a velouté (cream soup).
To boost the stocks of endangered fish, instead consume Maine's underutilized ones, perhaps by joining a community-supported fishery, or CSF. It's the same concept as community-supported agriculture, where members pay farmers a lump sum in advance for weekly baskets of vegetables. Port Clyde Fresh Catch launched the country's first CSF, a shot in the arm for Maine's last ground-fish fleet between Portland and Canada. They're also a major source of Maine shrimp. This year, Port Clyde is focusing "fish drops," where customers place orders online, pay by PayPal, then come pick up their fish at drop-off sites in Blue Hill and Thomaston. Portland's EatLocalFish.com operates under a similar model, delivering or shipping fish ordered online to the customer's door.
Then there's a new player, a new venture for a prominent fourth-generation fishing family, the Odlins. Salt and Sea Fishery-Supported Community delivers one- or two-pound packages of fresh monkfish, Atlantic pollock (better than Alaskan pollock, of surimi and Filet-O-Fish fame), Acadian redfish, gray sole (a kind of flounder), and haddock to weekly drop-offs around town at Rosemont Market, Woodfords Congregational Church, Scratch Baking Co. in South Portland, at the Peaks Island ferry terminal, and to Local Sprouts Café. It's worth joining the ranks of their 50-some members.
Founder Justine Simon worked in food policy and ran a CSA in Brooklyn before marrying Marty Odlin, an engineer on his family's boats. Simon wanted to recreate for members the food-sharing culture fishermen enjoy. When a boat comes in, the fish gets filleted and shared with all the extended family members. Salt and Sea includes extra treats, like crisp Gulf of Maine dulse and nori seaweed, and hake fish cakes.

Christmas Cheer in Chattanooga
Chattanooga Choo Choo • Chattanooga, TN
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two Adults and Two Children in a Standard Room
- Admission to the Elf Workshop
- Elf Tuck-In Service
- One Picture with Santa Claus
- One Keepsake Holiday Ornament
- Four Tickets to the Model Railroad Museum
- $25 Dining Credit at Any On-Site Restaurant
- Children Age 12 and Under Eat Free at the Gardens Restaurant
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
The holidays should be the most wonderful, not stressful, time of the year. You can rediscover the magic of Christmas with your loved ones when aboard this Escape to the Chattanooga Choo Choo—where the "RR" sign announces Rest and Relaxation ahead.
Two adults and two children can take the express train to holiday cheer, spending one night in a Standard Room ($108). To put you in the seasonal spirit, you'll receive admission to the Elf Workshop, a picture with Santa Claus, a keepsake holiday ornament, and elf tuck-in service. Your stay also includes four tickets to the Model Railroad Museum and a $25 dining credit at any of the on-site restaurants.
This one-of-a-kind historic hotel was once a bona fide railway station—sleeper cars have transformed into guest rooms and the baggage area now houses the The Station House Restaurant.
The terminal dome room now plays host to a spectacular lobby, where Santa has set up shop in his sleigh. Drop by to snap a family photo with ol' Saint Nick, then pick up a keepsake holiday ornament from the Depot Gift Shop. Later, conduct your caboose to the Choo Choo's Elf Workshop, where Christmas crafts, games, and movies will delight the whole family.
Your included $25 dining credit is good at any of the on-site restaurants, so chug on over to the Silver Diner—a casual '50s-style pizza eatery inside a converted train car. Or, enjoy a cup of lobster bisque before indulging in dishes like steak au poivre or caramelized Atlantic salmon at Dinner In The Diner. Then, treat yourselves to an old-time malt or hand-dipped ice cream cone at the Sweet Stop Ice Cream & Candy Shoppe before diving back into the jolly festivities.
When you're ready to turn in for the night, you can look forward to a special visit from one of Santa's helpers. An elf will stop by your room to tuck in the kids for the night, putting a bow on an already magical experience.
You'll need fuel to feed your engine the next morning, so dig into breakfast at the Gardens Restaurant (kids age 12 and younger eat free). When you've had your fill, grab your four tickets and roll full steam ahead to the Model Railroad Museum, home of one of the largest model railways open to the public.
If all you want for Christmas is some time with the family, get your railway passes for this Escape. All aboard!
